Chapter 754: The Sword of Evil
Chapter 754: The Sword of Evil
As Alice walked, her footsteps suddenly halted.
She never expected that after their intense exchange, the friends' channel, which she thought would remain silent for a while, would buzz with activity once again.
The Righteous Pathway Maiden opened her friends list, and there it was, a message from Lindsey: "Hey, Alice, are you there? Let's chat!"
"..."
Alice: "What... happened?"
Lindsey: "I've encountered a problem here. I've come across some human followers."
Alice: "Is it related to the Sole God?"
Lindsey: "No, it's related to you."
Alice: "Me? That's impossible."
Lindsey: "As followers, their faith is directed towards the Righteous Ones. And the leader of these followers doesn't even know about the existence of the Sole God's faith. This situation is becoming more troublesome."
Alice: "..."
Lindsey: "Alice, I don't fully understand your ways as a Righteous One. I don't want my ignorance to lead to a grave mistake during our future actions."
Alice: "The power of the Righteous Ones comes from the path they choose to walk. But the support of the people also ignites a new flame within their strong will, and this is the very definition of the Sovereign Artifact. "
Lindsey: "The Thorned Law Sword?"
Alice: "Indeed. These three Sovereign Artifacts possess immense power and also lay the foundation for the existence of the City of Law. They are the legal basis for the Righteous Ones to become rulers."
Lindsey: "And what about this Sole God?"
Alice: "When I fought those followers, I sensed that their faith has a real target. It's absolutely not a distorted faith born from the chaos of war."
Lindsey: "I understand. So, aside from our differing opinions, this so-called Sole God and those Deviators are common enemies we need to face together?"
Alice: "On this point, I agree."
...
The chat ended, and Alice disconnected from the friends' channel.
She looked ahead, and the young werewolf, who was guiding her, trotted along with a light step.
After the previous teleportation, Alice and those under her protection found themselves on a new floating island.
At this moment, the humanoids began to showcase their physical prowess.
They could use their sense of smell to detect the presence of their kin from a great distance.
Upon their arrival on this island, they shared the good news with Alice.
There were many of their kin nearby! The Righteous Pathway Maiden had intended to protect these humanoids, striving to eliminate the evil that shouldn't exist, while also heading towards the core of the spatial anomaly to put an end to this unpleasant situation.
Naturally, she accepted the invitation and followed the humanoids towards their tribe.
As they walked, the young werewolf guide turned to Alice, "Sister Alice, I can smell the scent of many uncles and brothers. We're almost there!"
Alice responded with a gentle smile, "Good."
"I promise to protect you and lead you to a safe place. You won't be attacked again."
The Righteous Pathway Maiden continued forward with the werewolf.
But after taking a few more steps, Alice suddenly stopped, and the Law Steel Sword was drawn from its sheath.
The surrounding humanoids were startled by her action.
"Maiden, what's wrong?"
"Why did you draw your sword suddenly?"
"I didn't smell any humans nearby."
Alice spoke in a somber tone, "I sense the presence of Corrupting Venom here. Your kin might have been infected by the Deviators. It's best to prepare for a harsh reality."
Alice possessed an incredibly powerful sense of perception. Even from a great distance, she could detect the presence of Deviator skills.
The Subhumans behind the Righteous One exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond for a moment.
But reality soon pushed their fate to the next level.
In front of the group, over a dozen Subhumans suddenly emerged from behind a mound of earth on the floating island, rushing towards them in an encircling manner.
These Subhumans had diverse physical appearances, but they shared one common trait.
Whether it was their arms or legs, some part of their bodies was infected with Corrupting Venom, resulting in twisted and grotesque Deviator states.
"So, it's you."
Alice, unafraid of these enemies, held her longsword horizontally in front of her.
The Righteous One's skills instantly transformed into a shelter, spreading behind her and encompassing all the Subhumans within her ability.
Only then did the blade in her hand emit a cold, chilling light.
"Come."
The Deviators facing her glared menacingly:
"Humans!"
"Meeting us today is your bad luck!"
The few Deviators opposite weren't particularly strong.
Alice's control over her Essence Skills was exceptionally subtle, preventing them from perceiving the true strength of their opponent.
Battle was about to break out.
But at that moment, the little werewolf who had been leading the way in front of Alice stepped forward, spreading his arms to block between the two groups.
The little werewolf was well aware of Alice's strength.
So, without paying attention to the Deviators, he first turned to the Righteous One and shouted:
"Sister Alice, there's a misunderstanding!"
"These uncles and brothers aren't bad people. Their appearance has changed only due to the influence of their skills!"
The little werewolf quickly explained, then turned to the Deviators:
"Uncles and brothers, don't attack!"
"Sister Alice is the hero who saved us from the hands of humans! She escorted us here all the way, and she's not a bad person. She's the great Righteous One who saves everyone in the stories!"
"..."
The Deviators across from them first glanced at the other Subhumans behind Alice.
They noticed that apart from the young werewolf, the others weren't in a state of being enslaved or driven away.
Their fellow Subhumans were sheltered by the Righteous One.
The intense battle will gradually subsided as the strong combat will weakened.
Witnessing this, Alice furrowed her brows and reminded the Subhumans beside her:
"They are Deviators."
An adult Subhuman behind Alice stepped forward and explained to the Righteous One:
"Righteous One, they are our kin."
Alice pointed to the twisted and deformed bodies of these Subhumans:
"But their bodies..."
The Subhuman beside her quickly responded:
"We know this power is extremely evil!"
"But to gain the power to protect ourselves, we have no choice but to wait for the once-a-decade Harvest Day. This is our only option!"
