The red-haired man with a Saiyan hairstyle was named Kabanei, one of the Earth Apostles under Archbishop Nick.

Ranked seventh among the Ten Braves, he was also a Saint-class existence, but much stronger than Pix-Lata, who had previously ventured into the Great Winter Forest.

This time,

the only purpose Archbishop Nick had assigned him upon sending him to Wind Facing City was to locate the long-missing Child of Destiny and Lord White Yama, the Heavenly Apostle!

After several fruitless days of searching, he had become extremely anxious and irritable. He had even expanded the search area and forcefully barged into several kingdoms neighboring the Snow Night Empire to conduct searches!

Naturally, this behavior caused dissatisfaction among those kingdoms.

However, because of the authority of the Asumos Church, they all remained silent.

Yesterday, after learning that the Black Rose Family had found and brought back Mengxi, he immediately rushed back to Wind Facing City with his squad without rest.

Worried about the Child of Destiny's safety, he had pushed aside the maids trying to stop him and stubbornly charged into Mengxi's room!

Upon seeing that the future Saintess was safe, Kabanei finally let out a sigh of relief.

Although White Yama's whereabouts remained unknown, as long as Mengxi was safe, he could at least temporarily survive Archbishop Nick's desperate summons.

However, having just relaxed, Kabanei noticed the slave girl standing inside the room.

Immediately,

a feeling of disgust arose within him.

Like most members of the Asumos Church, Kabanei possessed an extremely rigid sense of social hierarchy.

And among those ranks, slaves were undoubtedly the lowest.

This little girl before him had some beauty.

Most likely she'd already been used by others.

How could such a filthy existence stay beside the Child of Destiny?!

Thinking this,

without hesitation, Kabanei unleashed the powerful fire-attributed Holy Aura within his body, sending it crashing toward the delicate little girl, intending to blow her away!

Then,

Kabanei froze.

Because after the wave of pressure was released, the girl remained standing there unharmed, blinking her azure eyes as she curiously looked at him.

Instantly, countless question marks flooded Kabanei's mind.

?!!

Eh?!

What's going on?!

My pressure is ineffective?!

H-How is that possible?!

Could it be that this lowly slave possesses some kind of special item?!

And furthermore—

A mere slave actually dares to look directly at me?!

Staring fiercely into the pink-haired girl's eyes, anger suddenly erupted within Kabanei.

"You damned thing! Get out of the way!"

Seeing that his aura pressure was useless, Kabanei directly swung his thick arm, preparing to send the pink-haired girl flying!

And at that moment,

Miss Mengxi, who had finally had enough, suddenly frowned.

An inexplicable anger emerged in her pale violet eyes.

The next instant, she transformed into a streak of silver light and appeared in front of Kabanei with lightning speed.

"The one who should get lost is you!"

Before her words even finished,

Mengxi swung her fist, relying solely on physical strength!

The next moment,

under the shocked gazes of the Asumos Church knights and the priestess, the completely unprepared Kabanei was struck squarely in the face!

Instantly, violent shockwaves exploded outward.

With a face full of disbelief, Kabanei was blasted away by a single punch.

The red barrier surrounding his body shattered on a large scale.

"BOOM!!"

With a deafening explosion, his body smashed through the wall, creating a massive hole before flying out and crashing into the frozen lake outside!

?!!

"Lady Mengxi?! Y-You've reached the sixth tier?!"

One of the knights couldn't help but cry out in shock.

Judging from the density of the Holy Aura Mengxi had just released, the Child of Destiny had undoubtedly reached Mid Sixth-Tier strength!

Just over a week ago, she had only been Mid Fifth-Tier!

Even geniuses within the Church needed years of cultivation to advance from the fifth tier to the sixth.

Yet Lady Mengxi had directly reached the sixth tier?!

And not merely the early stage—

But Mid Sixth-Tier?!

Even if she was the Child of Destiny—

Wasn't this too damn fast?!

At that moment, everyone was completely overwhelmed by shock, staring dumbfoundedly at Miss Mengxi.

For a moment, the bedroom fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.

As for the person involved,

Miss Mengxi herself also appeared stunned, staring at her right hand with disbelief filling her pale violet eyes.

Seeing this,

especially witnessing the heroine send a Saint-class expert flying with a single punch, Miss Yumo couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing secretly.

Her heart was filled with satisfaction.

Looks like the medicine she had fed the heroine earlier had worked!

Hehehe~

Yumo secretly rejoiced.

Naturally, the stronger the protagonists became, the happier she was~

However,

the current Miss Yumo naturally had no idea

that the silver-haired girl's expression of shock was entirely an act.

Mengxi's reason for putting on this show was simply to let a certain secretly smug little girl nearby see it~

After all, having remained conscious all these days, how could she possibly not know about the changes in her own body?

Meanwhile,

after secretly celebrating for a while, Miss Yumo suddenly sensed something wrong.

Mengxi's increase in strength was naturally within her expectations.

However, according to the original plan, Mengxi should only have advanced to Early Sixth-Tier.

So how had she suddenly reached Mid Sixth-Tier?

Could it be...

that the medicinal effect was stronger than expected?

Thinking this, confusion appeared in Yumo's azure eyes.

At that moment,

Kabanei, who had been sent flying, finally recovered and immediately transformed into a streak of red light, returning to Mengxi's room with his drenched body.

Then,

under everyone's uneasy gazes, Kabanei pointed at Yumo and looked angrily at the silver-haired girl.

"Miss Mengxi! What are you doing?! You attacked me for the sake of a slave?!"

However,

facing the furious Kabanei, Mengxi remained calm.

She even directly ignored the furious Earth Brave.

Then, the silver-haired girl slowly walked to Yumo's side and gently said,

"Xiaomo, go out and play for a bit. Leave this to Sister."

"B-But..."

"It's alright. Trust me."

"O-Okay."

Since Mengxi had already said so, Yumo naturally wouldn't oppose her.

After all, they were all members of the Asumos Church.

Yumo wasn't worried that Kabanei would harm Mengxi.

Although this guy looked fierce, he actually appeared extremely timid.

Thus,

under Kabanei's slightly dissatisfied gaze, Miss Yumo leisurely walked out of the bedroom and out of the guest suite.

Along the way,

the pink-haired girl couldn't help glancing back at the gloomy Earth Brave.

Unknowingly,

a trace of contempt appeared on Yumo's little face.

Although Mengxi had attacked by surprise,

this guy was still an elite Brave of the Asumos Church, wasn't he?

And he got sent flying just like that?

Honestly,

he's really weak...

Forget it.

No point thinking too much.

I'll just go wander around for a bit.

Mengxi and the others probably have important matters to discuss.

Meanwhile,

in the North,

within the capital of the Kingdom of Olos in the western region of the Snow Night Empire,

under the incomparably shocked gazes of the crowd,

a beam of pure white light descended from the heavens!

The next moment,

as the light-attributed Holy Aura dispersed, a breathtakingly beautiful girl appeared before everyone.

However, she looked dusty, filthy, and her clothes were in tatters.

Seeing the miserable, scantily clad girl, who looked as though she had suffered unspeakable abuse, the surrounding people immediately began whispering.

Various unpleasant remarks entered the white-haired girl's ears.

Her brows slightly furrowed.

"Get lost..."

With a cold snort, terrifying Holy Aura fluctuations exploded outward.

Instantly, hundreds of onlookers collapsed unconscious.

Meanwhile, the girl herself dragged her exhausted body and slowly walked into the city.

Without question,

the girl who had appeared in the North and possessed dense Holy Aura was none other than the recently awakened Miss White Yama~

At this moment, although White Yama was incomparably tired and weakened, her azure eyes overflowed with frightening coldness.

Damn it.

They actually used a Magic Fission Bomb on me?!

'That damned Xue Tianao-Valedin... I'll remember this!'
