Faced with this final boss that exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure, Alicia and Vivian did not even turn their heads.
Their attention remained 1,000% locked onto Lynn and Su Xiaoxiao.
“A bug is buzzing,” Vivian said, frowning.
She seemed displeased that the roar had interrupted her judgment.
“Indeed, it is a bit too noisy while I am talking to Lynn.”
Alicia’s smile remained unchanged, but there was something else flickering within that expression.
The Abyssal Crystal Husk Lord was enraged.
It felt the contempt from these two tiny creatures!
It roared, the bone blades on its four arms dragging against the ground and throwing off blinding sparks as it charged toward the two women.
Lynn subconsciously closed his eyes.
He could already imagine the scene of himself being turned into meat paste by the shockwaves of the battle.
However, the expected impact did not come.
He only heard a soft sound.
*Snap.*
Lynn cautiously opened a sliver of an eye.
He saw Alicia simply raising one hand and snapping her fingers.
A golden halo appeared out of thin air beneath the charging Crystal Husk Lord’s feet.
The massive beast’s forward momentum came to a screeching halt, as if it had slammed into an invisible wall.
Its four legs were firmly locked in place by the halo, rendered completely immobile.
**[Holy Shackles]**.
A high-level binding Divine Art of the Church.
Lynn had seen it in the game; it required several Bishops chanting together to release.
Yet, Alicia had done it with a mere snap of her fingers.
“Lynn, watch closely.”
Alicia’s voice was so gentle it could practically drip with water. She turned her head, looking at Lynn with those golden eyes.
“Any filth that dares to make noise in your presence should be purified like this.”
Before her voice had even faded, she extended a slender finger and tapped lightly toward the imprisoned Crystal Husk Lord.
“PURIFICATION RAY!”
A golden beam of light, as thin as a toothpick, shot from her fingertip and accurately struck the thickest arm of the Crystal Husk Lord.
There was no explosion and no loud bang.
The moment the light touched the monster’s arm, it was like a drop of hot water falling into butter.
The Crystal Husk Lord’s indestructible cuticle, along with the flesh beneath it, began to silently melt, decompose, and turn into the purest particles of light that drifted into the air.
“ROA—RRRRRRR!!!”
The Crystal Husk Lord let out a shrill scream that was warped by agony.
It was not just the pain of being cut, but the fear of being erased from existence.
It struggled frantically, but the **[Holy Shackles]** did not budge.
It could only watch as its arm was completely “purified” within several seconds by that slender beam of light.
Lynn’s scalp felt numb as he watched.
‘Is this purification? This is damn well an execution by 1,000 cuts!’
“What a sensationalist trick.”
A cold voice rang out.
Vivian moved.
Her figure turned into a black blur, instantly appearing on the other side of the Crystal Husk Lord.
She did not use any flashy moves. She simply gripped the door-like greatsword with both hands and swung it upward with all her strength.
“ARMOR-PIERCING SLASH!”
Black Sword Qi, condensed into substance, carried a scream that tore through the air as it slashed savagely across the Crystal Husk Lord’s chest.
*Clang—!*
A massive boom echoed.
The breastplate the Crystal Husk Lord took such pride in was pried open by force, leaving a huge, deep gash that revealed the bone.
Black blood erupted like a fountain.
It screamed again, but this time the cry quickly changed in pitch.
This was because it saw that the black-armored woman had no intention of stopping.
Vivian stepped on its knee, using the momentum to leap up.
The greatsword in her hand plunged violently into the previous wound, and then she twisted it hard!
*Squeltch!*
The sound of flesh and internal organs being shredded was clearly audible.
“Protection is not a performance.”
Vivian turned her head, also looking at Lynn. Her eyes were as sharp as knives.
“It is about stripping away every threat from the enemy at the fastest speed possible.”
As she spoke, she gripped the hilt and slashed downward with a violent jerk!
*Rip!*
The Crystal Husk Lord’s entire chest was ripped open from top to bottom. Its internal organs and black blood spilled all over the ground.
Lynn’s stomach did a somersault.
‘One is doing mental torture, and the other is performing physical exorcism. Are you two devils?’
The poor Crystal Husk Lord had not even had the chance to demonstrate its dignity as a final boss before it became a toy to be slaughtered at will.
No, it was a prop for two crazy women to vent their jealousy.
“Too crude. You will dirty Lynn’s eyes.”
Alicia shook her head, her finger pointing out again.
This time, two **[Purification Rays]** shot out, hitting each of the Crystal Husk Lord’s remaining legs.
“Awooo!”
“Your movements are too slow, your efficiency too low,” Vivian snorted coldly.
The greatsword swept across, cutting off the Crystal Husk Lord’s last intact arm at the shoulder.
*Thump!*
The severed arm fell to the ground, still twitching neurotically.
What followed turned into a total execution ground.
Alicia’s **[Purification Rays]** and Vivian’s greatsword ravaged the Crystal Husk Lord’s body.
“Lynn, look, its horn is an eyesore.”
A beam of light flashed, and the Crystal Husk Lord’s horn turned to ash.
“Its teeth are too dirty.”
The sword light flashed, and the Crystal Husk Lord’s jaw was sliced off entirely.
“Its cries are too unpleasant.” Another beam of light pierced its vocal cords.
“Its gaze makes you uncomfortable.”
A sword plunged in, crushing its eyeballs.
They slaughtered this poor monster while “explaining” their actions to Lynn in the calmest tones.
It was as if they were not killing, but merely pruning a plant that was getting in his way.
The once-unbeatable Abyssal Lord could no longer even let out a scream.
It could only twitch and squirm on the ground, allowing the two women to vent their displaced possessiveness and destructive desires upon its body.
Lynn knelt on the ground, his body cold.
He shielded Su Xiaoxiao in his arms, but he felt like he was the one who needed protection most.
He looked at the hellish scene before him, only one thought in his mind.
‘This Boss… died so miserably.’
—
Lynn’s legs were weak, as if he were walking on cotton. Every step felt hollow.
Coming out of that underground grotto, the sunlight was so piercing he could hardly open his eyes.
On either side of him, Alicia and Vivian walked with light steps, their expressions serene and composed.
It was as if the ones who had just ripped a monster into pieces were not them, but they had simply cleared away a bug.
Su Xiaoxiao, who was in his arms, had fallen fast asleep at some point.
Her small face was pressed against his chest, her breathing steady. He looked down for a moment; the girl’s face was pure, with tear stains still clinging to the corners of her eyes.
‘If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, who could link her to the monster that “crushed” the Crypt Lord?’
Lynn felt a wave of nausea. He did not dare look at her again.
After this underground internship, Lynn felt he had lost ten years of his life.
When they returned to the Academy, they were greeted by a group of anxious teachers and students.
Alicia and Vivian were celebrities at the Academy, and the news of their disappearance had caused quite a panic.
Now that they had returned safely, they were naturally welcomed with enthusiasm.
“Lady Saintess, Knight Commander Vivian, it is truly wonderful that you are both safe.”
A middle-aged teacher ran forward, his tone filled with relief.
