Know thy enemy and know thy self (2)
A beautiful black-haired woman disguised as Kybriel’s incarnation and a female Valtara warrior repeatedly appeared and disappeared from time to time, taking advantage of the Holy Punishers’ wriggling.
Hollien wanted to leave the palace immediately to track Kibie down.
Nevertheless, She remained immobile.
It was because the Fairy King Loflan did not allow it.
-It’s none of your business, my Queen.
If the Queen of a country came forward to such a subtle issue, the royal family’s authority would fall.
There was a saying, ‘Just because a powerful person took the initiative doesn’t mean that his authority fell.’ Sadly, the reality wasn’t like that.
If the powerful took the lead in handling everything, the wise would surely praise him or her for being a great leader.
However, the majority of the followers would complain about why the leader pushed himself or herself forward.
She couldn’t even hope for rational thought from ordinary people.
Of course, if that were just a king’s order, she would’ve ignored it.
Hollien, the strongest Spiritist on earth and the first blessed by the Goddess, had the power and reputation to look down on the King’s authority.
However, Loflan didn’t order her as a King.
-How can your precious self be swayed by such rumors, my Queen? Please bear it.
She couldn’t ignore her beloved husband’s dissuasion.
Hence, she calmly waited at the palace, and only her subordinates moved to chase the incarnation.
However, since the situation had gone that far, ignoring the situation would mean losing authority for her.
At the moment, the Fairy King and Allendia’s royal family hoped that Hollien would come forward.
Hollien shrugged.
“Then there’s no reason to miss her, right? She’s hard to find, not hard to catch.”
Garhan agreed.
“Good. Take care of it quickly. This troublesome situation needs to be over soon.”
Genovia, on the other hand, seemed to remain nervous.
“Are you going to be okay, Hollien? I’m sure they have something to rely on since they created this situation on purpose.”
They knew for sure that the opponent had prepared a trap. It wouldn’t be proper for her to get caught.
“I have a rough idea…”
The Valtara warrior, Felard Bean, was chosen as the Apostle of Kybriel.
He was strong.
Although his exact level was unknown because no Alien came back alive, it was enough to match the Baotolt of his youth just by looking at the previous record he had shown.
Leon Hart, the third blessed by the Goddess, was also one of the strongest on the continent.
It was estimated that the Incarnation of Darkness and her colleagues also exceeded level 90 at the minimum.
What if the Templar Lords of the six churches and the High Templars were involved, and the churches gave all-out efforts to make the trap and fight against a lone Hollien?
“… But I don’t think I’m going to lose.”
It was indeed an arrogant remark, but it was also true.
The gap between the Top Three and others was that wide.
Still, Genovia had some doubts in her mind.
“I heard that the Valtara warrior took on Kybriel’s sacred item.”
“Then what’s the difference?”
Hollien was certain that the Valtara warrior would’ve become way stronger than before.
Nevertheless, he had a long way ahead of him before he could catch up with the Top Three.
Unless he was the Sword King, she didn’t have to care about other Latnains even if they merged with the sacred item.
“And Baotolt is dead.”
Even the sacred item of darkness was just an old-fashioned relic that the Top Three didn’t need to be wary of.
Of course, if the Top Three took the sacred item, they might have benefited a little, but…
“We can’t help it. We didn’t know the exact location of the sacred item until the incarnation moved. All we could do was guess.”
Hollien, who was constantly replying, suddenly squinted her eyes.
“Oh, why don’t you two move together with me if you’re so worried?”
If the Top Three flocked together, their opponents wouldn’t be able to do anything.
It was the safest method.
Genovia and Garhan looked nervous.
There was no problem leaving the sanctuary if the incarnation had already been caught.
It was over anyway.
However, in reality, they needed to look for the incarnation of darkness all over the world.
They didn’t know how many days it would take.
And their lifespan would also be reduced that much!
“No, that’s…”
“I don’t think so…”
Hollien smirked at the two, who were envious.
“That’s enough. Now that Baotolt’s gone, why in the world would the three of us go together to fight someone?”
Perhaps their opponents believed in the heir of the Sword King.
That was the only variable at the moment.
How powerful did the Valtara warrior need to be to put Hollien in danger?
“Even if Baotolt himself is there instead of him, I won’t be beaten. You both know that, right?”
If the Sword King was alive and dealt with Hollien, the result was obvious.
“I’ll never win.”
But she wouldn’t lose either.
If the Thunder king or Archmage went up against him, they would be beaten.
But the Transcendental was different.
At the very least, there would be no death or captivation.
“Because I have this.”
In the video, Hollien slightly raised her finger to give a faint glow.
Only then did Genovia’s expression ease.
“Yeah, you have your spiritual skill, don’t you?”
With her fingers crossed playfully, Hollien continued.
“As you both know, there’s no problem getting me out of this, no matter how bad it is.”
Even if the Holy Punishers’ trap was beyond imagination and Hollien was in danger, she could retreat and then try again in cooperation with Genovia.
There was no need to spend the time of the two whose life had almost depleted.
“The only thing that’s a little strange is that Kybriel would know about this, yet she’s still trying to dig a trap.”
Garhan shook his head at Hollien’s question.
“I’m not sure she would know.”
Curiously, she asked back.
“How could she not know? She’s a Goddess.”
Trapped in the human body at the moment, the former Kybriel was the only ruler who had looked over Latna’s entirety.
Genovia and Garhan took turns replying.
“It’s never been revealed to the world. We’ve been practicing against Baotolt.”
“All four of us gathered together only when we were targeting the Four Prohibited Areas.”
“It was always in the dungeon when we practiced, so it wouldn’t be strange if the Goddess doesn’t know.”
Hollien’s expression became strange.
“… I’ve never used anything outside the dungeons.”
They didn’t mean it, but they ended up deceiving the Goddess.
She nodded after emptying her glass.
“Okay, I’ll come forward myself.”
