"The divinity fluctuation released by Histia was much more intense than quasigods. As such, the first thing we did was to send the Dragon Riders to investigate the scene. Thereafter... the Dragon Riders witnessed that scene..."
The north region garrison said, "A woman with two daggers did not use any magic nor did she release any divinity. She merely used a strange movement technique to pass through the explosion of the forbidden curses and arrived before Histia, slitting her throat with ease!"
The north region garrison said, "In the end… she even made Histia admit defeat willingly."
The regent: "…"
To be honest, the regent did not believe a single word the garrison said.
However, their fearful tone did not seem like they were joking.
Therefore…
"Why are you reporting this to me?"
The regent asked coldly, "What does a disgraceful matter of the Haines Imperial Guards have to do with us?"
"That's the main point, Your Excellency."
The voice of the north region garrison was stern. "Histia's forbidden curse bombardment killed the scouting Dragon Riders. We just saved a survivor and helped him to regain consciousness. Your Excellency, after that woman defeated Histia, she asked Histia to open a teleportation gate and send her to the capital!"
The regent was enraged. "You should have said that right from the beginning! Idiot!"
…
A mysterious person who was said to have defeated the strongest demigod, Histia, had arrived in the capital.
No matter how unbelievable this matter seemed, the officials of the palace had to take it seriously immediately.
After investigation, there was indeed a slight spatial fluctuation in the capital yesterday.
In terms of time, it corresponded to the report of the north region garrison.
Histia was very considerate and the dimensional rift she created was extremely small such that almost no one noticed it.

In that case…
How should they deal with this invasion given its unique nature?
If it was any other time, the regent would not have bothered with such a ridiculous matter. However, now that he was at his wits' end, he had a bold thought… He wanted to meet this woman who was said to have defeated Histia.
After all, upon careful thought...
This was a mortal expert who could defeat Histia.
Wouldn't that make her a brilliant chess piece?!
After learning about the woman's appearance from the north region garrison, the regent sent out a law enforcement squad to search the city.
The result of the search was surprisingly smooth.
That very afternoon, the law enforcement squad brought the woman to the regent.
This was an extremely beautiful young woman. Even without the augmentation of divinity, she had an unforgettable beauty.
Her long black hair was tied simply behind her head. She had beautiful features and clear eyes. The plain black robe she wore could not conceal her seductive figure.
Her features reminded the regent of the Inca people who lived in the east.
Behind her, there were two slender daggers of different lengths hanging on her back and waist, one black and one white.
Those were her only weapons.
As a mortal warrior who could defeat a demigod, she did not wear armor or an enchanted magic robe. She only had two ordinary iron weapons that did not have any reaction to magic… This surprised the regent.
Furthermore, the first impression this woman gave the regent was...
Docile.

Her eyes were clear and flawless, pure and spotless. There was a tender smile on her face, polite and gentle.
Overall, she gave off a docile and non-offensive feeling.
However…
Immediately after, as he continued looking at that woman, the regent felt something amiss.
The longer his gaze lingered on her, the more the regent felt his soul boil and the more intense his emotions surged, as though it was ignited.
Something was amiss…
There was something amiss with this woman.
The regent vaguely understood something. This terrifying infectious power that could burn one's soul came from...
"Please be careful, sir."
Right then, the law enforcement squad at the side reminded softly, "After our detection, this lady has an extremely high Nether Realm corruption."
Nether Realm corruption...
Indeed.
The regent nodded.
He looked at that woman with a sense of disgust. "… Fallen."
The black-haired beauty's reply was a graceful smile.
She admitted to it.
"What's your name?"
"Lynn, Your Highness the Regent."

"Where are you from?"
"I'm a homeless pilgrim."
"Why did you come to Leta?"
"I'm in the midst of my trial, Your Highness the Regent."
"That's why you defeated Histia?"
"That's right... Indeed, I obtained the recognition of Miss Histia."
After a series of quick questions and answers...
The regent had a rough understanding of the current situation.
Trial…
It was truly crazy to challenge the strongest demigod in the mortal world as a trial.
However, weren't cultists just a bunch of lunatics to begin with?
Here comes the problem.
Since this woman named Lynn's trial was to challenge Histia, now that she had already defeated the latter, what was she doing in Leta?
Wait…
Could it be…
Suddenly, the regent thought of something and became excited.
"You've already defeated Histia. Is your trial not over yet?"
Lynn nodded gently and said piously, "That's right, Your Highness. I still have to challenge more enemies. That's the only way I can please the supreme beings and obtain her attention… This is my pilgrimage, Your Highness. I'm collecting heads and blood to sacrifice to my gods."

Ha!
Indeed!
The regent could barely conceal his ecstasy.
He already knew why this woman teleported to the capital of Leta!
The regent: "Your target is Elktela Lucia!"
Lynn was still smiling. "That's right."
Elktela Lucia.
As the strongest elven demigod, it was said that her strength was comparable to Histia.
If this cultist before him could use unknown methods to defeat Histia...
Naturally, she would shift her hunting target to Elktela Lucia who was of the same strength as Histia!
It was perfect!
Right now, the regent was worried about how to suppress Alice's faction.
This woman named Lynn gave the regent a new glimpse of hope!
"Miss Lynn…"
The tone of the regent softened significantly.
"This is the capital of Leta and is the most heavily guarded place in the entire country. Elktela is not the only one guarding this place. Our future Moonlight Queen and the four demigod teachers are also watching over this place at all times."
The regent gave a sincere suggestion.
"If you want to fight Elktela one-on-one, let me tell you, that's almost impossible… unless you have my help."
