Chapter 339

“The priests and Holy Knights who were in this castle are all affiliated with the Ramun Church.”

At Karl’s words, Dana’s eyes widened. They really are from the Ramun Church?

“How can you be so certain?”

“I could sense the divine power of the Ramun Church from all of them.”

“The divine power could also be fake, couldn’t it? Perhaps they have holy relics that contain divine power—”

“There are no holy relics that can grant divine power to so many people at once, Dana. They are all definitely affiliated with the Ramun Church.”

Dana bit her lips and looked up at Karl. Her insides were burning with anxiety.

“Then what about those Holy Knights on the altar who became sacrifices? They’re also from the Ramun Church. Why would those on the same side…?”

No. Stop.

Dana stopped speaking. Come to think of it, they are currently corrupted. The mutant corruption symptoms are progressing very rapidly.

If purification is delayed, it becomes irreversible.

“I’ll purify them first.”

Dana lowered her voice and looked at Sir Leo lying on the altar.

“You go catch that Black Core Creator over there— He’s escaping!”

Before she could even finish speaking.

The man in the black robe suddenly shot out like a bullet and began running away.

“Chase after him!”

“Huh?”

“Hurry!”

Dana slapped Karl’s shoulder repeatedly.

“Hurry what?”

However, Karl didn’t move. He just tilted his head and looked down at her with clear eyes.

“We need to divide our roles! I’ll be purifying those Holy Knights—”

“But shouldn’t Dana conserve her strength?”

“What?”

“Just purifying that corruption alone will be overwhelming. If you purify them too, your body could be in danger.”

“…”

Dana stared up at him intently. Karl was smiling obediently while waiting for her answer.

If even one of those Mutant Corrupted escapes outside, the corruption will spread and infection will begin. So purification is necessary.

But.

If they die, that worry would disappear immediately. If she asked him to kill them, Karl would act coy for a bit then comply. But.

‘That… doesn’t seem right.’

For some reason, she couldn’t make that request.

Karl looked back and forth between the Holy Knight and Dana’s face, then let out a low laugh.

“Yes, I thought so.”

And he placed his hand on top of her head. With a very gentle gesture, he stroked the back of her head.

“Dana is truly kind.”

That was all.

The large, warm hand left the top of her head, and Karl walked past her.

He went to catch the Black Core Creator as Dana wished.

The Black Core Creator had already disappeared deep into the cave, but Karl would definitely catch him. So…

So.

‘Then what, he’s just telling me to leave them alone?’

Her face felt hot. Heat rose along the path where Karl had stroked her.

‘Or is he annoyed that I’m only acting like a witch toward him?’

Dana ran to the altar and purified Sir Leo first. After a moment, reason returned to his eyes.

“Ugh…”

“Are you coming to your senses?”

“Wh-what is all this?”

“You were all corrupted and were just about to be offered as sacrifices.”

Sir Leo blinked. He didn’t seem to immediately understand the situation.

‘Next!’

Anyway, he’s purified, so next. Dana reached out to the person tied up next to Sir Leo. Only then did Sir Leo speak to her.

“Wait. What are you doing right now?”

“Can’t you see? I’m in the middle of purification.”

“…We came here to capture you.”

“Do I look stupid enough not to know that?”

Irritated, Dana snapped back sharply.

By the way, when will I finish purifying all these Holy Knights one by one?

‘Can’t I do it all at once?’

No.

The current me can do it.

She realized it so naturally. Dana stretched out both hands, embraced the light of purification, and slowly flowed it in the direction she desired.

‘It worked.’

The light that burst from her hands left pure white trails as it connected to each person, one by one. Like shooting stars slowly crossing the night sky, it flowed long and finally embraced all the Holy Knights.

“What in the…”

Sir Leo, who had been watching that mystical scene with trembling, spoke in a shaking voice.

“What exactly are you? Are you a saint, a witch, or an angel?”

“None of the three.”

“Then what—”

“You’re noisy, Sir Leo. I need to concentrate, so be quiet. Don’t even let me hear your breathing.”

“…”

Fortunately, Sir Leo listened well.

After a while, Dana withdrew her hands while panting heavily. It was finished. She could tell even before the light disappeared.

‘I succeeded.’

She had perfectly purified them all.

As expected, where the light had disappeared, more than ten Holy Knights who had been cleanly purified could be seen. Being knights, they had excellent recovery ability and regained consciousness in an instant. One by one, they opened their eyes and rose from the altar.

“Wh-what is this?”

“Are you Dana?”

A Holy Knight who recognized her spoke.

“Did you purify us?”

The answer came from Sir Leo, whose face was filled with admiration.

“That’s right. This person saved us—”

That’s when it happened.

“What are you doing right now!”

A booming voice erupted. Dana quickly turned around.

“Hurry and capture that woman!”

Cardinal Dominic was pointing at her.

“She’s the witch of divine oracle! Arrest her immediately!”

However, the Holy Knights didn’t move right away.

Then, the man who had received purification from Dana last got down from the altar and stood. He was someone with dark brown hair and a resolute impression.

“Cardinal Dominic.”

“Commander Godfrey! What are you doing? Hurry and give orders to the knights!”

However, the man called Commander Godfrey didn’t move. Instead, he watched Cardinal Dominic sharply and said.

“After wearing the protective gear you gave us, we all lost consciousness with our divine power sealed. And when we woke up, we were corrupted on this altar. What did you do to us?”

“Can’t you see my stigmata!”

Cardinal Dominic pointed to his forehead. Then Commander Godfrey could be seen clenching his mouth shut.

“Everything I do is commanded by the Sun God! Do not dare try to fathom the Sun God’s will with human thinking!”

“….”

A very fierce conflict passed through Godfrey’s eyes, but in the end it was only for a moment.

“What are you doing. Follow the Cardinal’s orders.”

“….”

“His Holiness the Pope also commanded us to capture that woman.”

At that command, the knights finally moved.

Some faces showed confusion, others showed conflict, but no one hesitated.

Naturally, Leo was the same.

“Let go of me!”

The knight closest to her was Leo. So he reached out and grabbed her. When he pulled, the woman was dragged along like a scarecrow. She was such a frail woman that there was no need for the Papal Court’s elite knights to rush at her.

Leo, who felt a strange guilt for gripping her slender arm too tightly, said.

“First go to the Papal Court and receive trial. Only then….”

“No! I will execute her right now.”

Then Cardinal Dominic quickly strode over. And he pulled out a golden glowing bottle from his chest.

It was a liquor bottle Dana recognized.

“Restrain the witch and force her mouth open. I will annihilate even her soul with the Soul-Killing Liquor!”

At that declaration, a real split occurred this time.

“That cannot be permitted. His Holiness commanded us to capture the woman alive.”

“This is the Sun God’s will!”

“We came here under His Holiness the Pope’s orders.”

“Did I not say it was the Sun God’s command?! How many times must I tell you to look at my stigmata!”

“Under no circumstances will overstepping authority be tolerated. I warn you, Cardinal Dominic. You must strictly observe the Papal Court’s discipline and follow His Holiness the Pope’s sacred orders.”

“Overstepping? Are you saying this is overstepping now?”

“Disobeying His Holiness the Pope’s orders is treason against the Papal Court. If you insist on defying them, I will execute summary punishment here according to Papal Court regulations.”

“Now, now you dare say you would harm me, who received the Sun God’s stigmata…!”

And at that moment, the Lake of Corruption erupted upward explosively.

Everyone stopped and turned to look.

Everything happened in an instant.

The corruption surged up to the end of the cave. Like a massive and solid castle wall, it raised its body and looked down below. Inside the dark cave, an even darker shadow of corruption covered them.

And it rushed in like a tsunami.

“-Get back!”

Dana shook off Leo’s hand. Standing in front and spreading both hands, a pure white light barrier that burst from her palms surrounded them.

The moment the light embraced everyone, almost simultaneously corruption poured down on top of it like black torrential rain.

“Ugh…!”

Dana’s arms trembled violently. A crushed groan flowed out involuntarily.

The black corruption poured like a flood, and poured, and continued pouring. Against the corruption rushing like a natural disaster, Dana gritted her teeth and blocked it, then turned around.

“What are you doing! Run away right now!”

She could see the Holy Knights and Cardinal Dominic frozen by the unbelievable disaster. They were looking at her with indescribable eyes.

“What are you all spacing out for?”

Frustrated to the point of bursting, Dana shouted.

“If you don’t all want to rot and die here, run away right now!”
