The person who appeared in front of Avery was someone he hadn't expected at all.

Why did the heroine of "Lord of Light", the saint Mira whom he only met once, come here?

Avery would not naively think that she is the saint's halo online, and she made a special trip to condolences to the prisoners in difficult conditions.

Everyone was tied up in a daze, making it clear that there was going to be trouble.

Fortunately, he just suffered a huge shock, and his inner endurance has been greatly improved. Even if the fire is burned immediately, he can hold on without getting nervous.

"..."

Avery was not in a hurry to speak, but observed hard.

Mira changed her attire and looked at him in silence.

The red-haired saint wore a small and delicate holy crown and a long silver dress with the logo of the Temple of Light. Every silk thread seemed to be shining, and she was more noble than the one she saw that day.

She is already a real saint, and her status has suddenly risen to the top. Through the announcement of the temple, her name has been spread in almost all the places involved in the Temple of Light.

Such a noble existence is still at an important moment of entering the world stage, so he should be very busy.

But she actually shelved many matters inside the temple, as well as the invitation letter from her country's royal family, and met with the imprisoned "evil god" in private.

The reason why I know it is "in private"...

Avery saw that she only brought two knights to the dungeon, she didn't look like she came here specially to get a mission, and the expression on her face was a bit wrong.

Mira's skin is as white as snow, and she usually looks exceptionally brilliant.

But at this time, worries were written in her pale golden eyes, and her face was a little too pale, even under the dim yellow light and shadow, she looked quite terrifying due to insufficient light.

It was Mira who ordered the two knights to tie up the "evil god" who was still awake.

The reason given was: "I got a premonition, maybe it was the guidance given by the gods. Before the trial, I want to try to see if I can redeem this evil soul."

This is one, what a reasonable reason.

How kind-hearted the newly promoted saintess is, no matter ordinary people or the most terrifying "evil gods", she has pity on them and wants to save their lost souls without discrimination.

No one would not be moved by her gentleness. Because of this, even if the Holy Lady temporarily proposed to go to the dungeon and contact the evil god, the guards did not stop her.

Meera's actions had not been reported to the Pope, but that was okay.

His Highness the Pope will only attend important ceremonies, and deal with important affairs in the Star Tower at other times. If there is any problem, the oracle will notify it in time.

Usually there are too many trivial things that happen in the temple, and most of them are in charge of the Holy Son Ranias, so there is no need to report everything to His Highness the Pope.

Now that there is one more saintess, the saintess has a lot of power to speak and cannot be ignored.

"Lord Lanias also went to the dungeon to meet the evil god just now."

When the guard spoke, he didn't notice that the Holy Maiden's expression was a little dark because of this: "He said that the evil god has lost its power and there is nothing to fear, but Mira-sama should take people with him to prevent the evil god from suddenly going berserk during the purification period. "

The time difference was not too long. Before Mira came, Lanias had just left the dungeon where the evil god was held.

He didn't take anyone with him when he went down, and it didn't take long, but no one knew what he did.

Mira couldn't tell the truth: she just accidentally heard that the Son of God had gone to the dungeon, and then her heart trembled suddenly, and she came here by accident.

She didn't know why she wanted to do this.

After waiting for 10 minutes, the knight who came to protect the saint arrived.

The two knights who came here are both members of the Holy Knights, which shows how much the Temple of Light attaches importance to saints.

People who heard about Mira's unerring good intentions couldn't help casting admiring glances at the beautiful girl.

These two knights are no exception, but their eyes are a little strange.

They just saw the "evil god" in the dungeon yesterday, and they were even in the queue to take him to the star tower.

That boy didn't look like an evil god at all.

Just by being near him, you can feel magically happy physically and mentally.

Hearing his voice, seeing his smile, the whole heart seemed to melt.

As long as they thought that he was locked in a dungeon that he could only enter, he would definitely suffer so much, they couldn't help feeling like a knife piercing their hearts, and this pain could not be suppressed at all.

If this is the evil influence of the evil god...

Then he is indeed an evil god, so terrifying!

All relying on their tenacious will, the knights barely resisted the emotions that were on the verge of collapse, and controlled their legs that were about to rush into the ground from time to time.

To be able to get to where they are today, their belief in the God of Light is of course very firm.

However, the ceremony called redemption is actually a purification ceremony. Everyone in the temple understands that it is actually a judgment with a different rhetoric.

One of the knights followed Mira, remained silent for a while, and finally couldn't help saying: "My lord, regardless of the danger of evil gods, the ritual of purifying heresy will inevitably appear... Bloody, you just came to the temple, will you Not used to..."

Mira had just joined the temple, so she was really not familiar with the specific operations of various rituals, which were usually the tasks of priests.

The so-called purification ceremony, as the name suggests, is to use the pure power of light to get rid of the sins of evil beings.

This kind of ceremony is most common in the major temples under the Temple of Light.

When catching a heretic exposed to the light, the high priest will first let the heretic be bound, and then use a nail infused with divine power to crucify the heretic's limbs, and the last nail is pierced into the heretic's heart.

When the polluted blood is shed, his sins are purified.

And usually at this time, the heretic's life is over.

The heresy that can sustain immortality shows that the sin is extremely serious, and only then can it accept a more advanced "trial".

If even the trial of the temple can't be solved, then the purge of the Templars will be the next step, and the dungeons sent to the temple will fend for themselves.

Reaching the level of "evil god", ordinary purification obviously can't help him.

So, the plan is to skip the purification and go straight to the harsher judgment.

Meera didn't need to do this, but she came anyway.

Facing the knight's reminder, the girl clasped her hands together, her eyes full of determination: "I know that my ability is still very weak, but I really don't want to give up this last chance to redeem this soul."

"You can't give up any life just because of fear."

The whole body exudes holy light.

Mira was speaking to the knight, and she was also speaking to herself, just to heal the strong sense of disobedience and strengthen her determination.

This explanation is also so perfect that the knight cannot refute it, but can only praise it:

"How kind is the Holy Maiden, we can only be ashamed of your bosom."

"If the evil god can be purified by the power of light, your contribution will be too great. However, don't you need the help of the priests?"

Mira smiled: "It's just my personal attempt, it is very likely to fail, so I don't want to ask more people to help."

When they entered the dungeon, the young man who had been labeled as an evil god huddled in a corner, sleeping soundly.

Mira waited patiently for the knight to make a move, restraining the boy's body.

Waiting for them to stop again, retreated quite far away, leaving enough space for her.

The nails used in the purification ceremony were brought with her when she came.

The nails were made of ice marrow crystals, and Mira squeezed them tightly, feeling a sudden coldness in her hands.

The chief culprit who kept her awake all night hung his head on the rough wooden frame, as if he had died.

Even though the light was so dim and his image was extremely embarrassing at the moment, his red hair was still dazzling like fire.

Mira, who was dressed in bright clothes, somehow felt that no matter what she did, she couldn't compare to him.

The light she was proud of did not belong to her, but was borrowed from...

This boy, this "evil god", is a variable that absolutely cannot appear at the same time as her!

how come?

How could such a terrible thing happen?

The girl's palm holding the nail trembled, and her voice said, "No... we can't wait any longer. It must be purified. God, please grant me divine power."

She would have hesitated if she had driven the nail into the body of a living person with her own hands.

But under unprecedented anxiety and fear, Mira no longer hesitated.

Because this is [correct] in the first place, priests all over the world have done this, God acquiesced in the rationality of this behavior.

"Accept the purification, accept it... You are the embodiment of evil! Falling on the soil of happiness will only bring suffering to innocent people."

"In order for you to not suffer so much in the future, just take advantage of the present..."

The spell of light magic sounded.

Avery opened his eyes, and what he saw was this terrifying picture:

The heroine, who has no grievances with him, is holding a nail. The nail is sharp, thin and long, and it is still shining coldly.

This scene made the pores shrink instantly, and a huge chill poured down from the top of the head.

——She pointed the point of the nail at his... heart, and pierced it with her eyes closed!

That's right, it's not the limbs, it's the heart that kills the most.

Eli: "??!"

Too late to speak.

In a hurry, the corner of his eye swept to the edge of his field of vision.

Two familiar faces stopped behind the heroine, clenched their fists and looked at him with pale faces.

They subconsciously wanted to rush over to stop them, but not only reason, but also some invisible force abruptly stopped them and defended Mira's actions.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The nails made of ice essence crystals have not yet been pierced, the distorted expressions of the bystanders are stagnant, the outside wind has stopped blowing, and all the moving things stop at this moment.

Only Avery, his thoughts are still surging uncontrollably, and he can still hear the voice from afar:

"here we go."

Time flows again.

At last.

The sharp spike pierced the boy's chest.

——The thread of fate that has been buried for thousands of years has not been broken, so far, it is finally connected again.
