Chapter 177 The Third Church, the Land without Darkness, the Paladins Who Lost Their Power!
"I can't stay in the outside world for too long, so I'll make it short."

The tone of the witch Mavis is always so relaxed: "...You have already learned from the Wish Witch Kara that the leader of the Witch Cult is not the legendary Great Witch, but a Nine-Ring Witch.

According to my understanding, the original purpose of establishing the Witch Cult was to find the body of the Great Witch, which can also be understood as the host body possessed by the Great Witch.

This body appears approximately once every hundred years. After the previous body dies, it won't be long before the next one is born. The reason why the Witch Cult hunts down witches everywhere is to find this person among the captured witches."

Mavis looked at Lamia with her emerald eyes and said softly, "...and you, Witch Lamia, you are the great witch of this generation, so you must be careful not to let the Witch Cult discover your true identity.

Otherwise, the witch cult will definitely send out witches of the eighth ring to capture you, and even the leader of the cult may personally take action."

Mavis' words made Deya look stern, and Lamia clenched her fists subconsciously.

She didn't expect this to be the case. Doesn't this mean that she is now a time bomb? This bomb may not only kill herself, but may also implicate Deya.

For a moment, Lamia even had the idea of ​​staying away from Deya immediately so as not to implicate him.

Deya noticed the hesitation on Lamia's face. He gently held Lamia's hand and said:
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. Judging from the way the Witch Cult behaves, I’ve been with you for so long, and they’ve already considered me an enemy.

Instead of holding on to regrets, it is better to find a way to solve the problem. No matter what happens, as long as we face it together and our strength is strong enough, we can solve it. "

Lamia's troubled mind immediately calmed down. She nodded vigorously and said softly, "Okay, you are right. No matter what it is, we will face it together and solve it."

The witch Mavis looked at Deya with interest, then looked at Lamia, and sighed: "They have a great relationship. It seems that you don't have any chance."

As soon as she finished speaking, her temperament changed immediately, and she said angrily: "What do you mean I have no chance? What chance do I need?"

"That's right. With my beauty, I think Deya won't refuse me if I take the initiative."

"Shut up and stop saying weird things. If you're interested in Deya, just say you're interested, but don't do anything messy with my body."

"You are saying one thing and thinking another again."

"I don't!"

"We are one person, do you think I don't understand you?"

"Shut up, shut up!"

"..."

The two Mavises started arguing again, but to be more precise, it was the witch-form Mavis who was bullying her other self.

Their personalities are like a calm older sister and an impatient younger sister.

"Okay, if you want to argue, you can do it later. Let's talk about the Great Witch first."

Deya interrupted the two of them;
The witch Mavis can only appear for a short time, so Deya must seize every opportunity to get to the bottom of the matter.

Perhaps because she was shy, Saint Mavis' personality subsided and she once again gave her body to her other self.

Witch Mavis raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Are you very proud that we, like twins, are fighting over you?"

Deya chuckled: "I'm not sure what the other you thinks, but if it's you, I don't think you would have any feelings for me between a man and a woman."

"You're right. My feelings for you are more like interest. It has nothing to do with gender."

"We can talk about this later. Let's talk about the Great Witch first."

"Deya, has anyone ever told you that as a man you shouldn't be too anxious? Okay, okay, let's talk about the big witch."

Seeing Deya's impatient look, the witch Mavis also became serious and said, "You know, all witches come from the original great witch.

It can be said that witches are all descendants of the Great Witch, or are part of the Great Witch.

As for who the Great Witch is, I don’t know her name either. I only know that she is a god-like figure. That’s all I know.”

Mavis spread her hands.

"Gone?"

Deya thought Mavis could tell him some important information, but she didn't expect that this was all she knew.

"No, the time when the Great Witch lived is unknown, but it must have been thousands of years ago. Deya, you know very well that the history of thousands of years ago is a blur."

"I thought you were going to say something shocking, but it turns out you know nothing. So why are you talking so much nonsense? Forget it, just go back first."

The witch Mavis said sadly: "Men really start to dislike you after they are done."

Seeing that Deya ignored her teasing remarks, Mavis felt bored. She snorted like a child, her consciousness sank, and she let the other self take the initiative again.

Saint Mavis, who had gained control of the body, quickly said, "Ignore her. She is the type who seeks fun."

Although she said this, it seemed like she was not being sincere.

Deya smiled but didn't point it out, instead he said:

"Are you ready? If you are, let's set off now. Even if we ride a bone dragon, it will take us three days to reach the third church in Susetani, including the time we need to rest on the way."

Seeing that Deya didn't dwell on this issue, Mavis breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm ready and can leave at any time."

…The bone dragon spread its wings and flew high, carrying Deya and others into the sky and into the clouds.

Now that he had made the decision and made all the preparations, Deya would not hesitate any longer and flew straight to the third largest church in Susetsat.

In order to hide their bodies as much as possible, Deya and his companions traveled at night and rested during the day.

Deya's main purpose was to prevent other parishes in England from discovering that he had left the City of Gold, thereby creating a false impression and delaying time as much as possible.

Traveling only at night, it took Deya and his companions three days to reach the vicinity of the third cathedral.

The third largest church in Sussetsat is located just north of Abrana, within the king's jurisdiction.

Thousands of meters in the air, Deya and his team determined the location of the third hall from afar.

Just as the intelligence said, with the Third Cathedral as the center, the area within a hundred miles is all shrouded in the light of morning light. This is a true land without night, and the dark moon will never fall.

Arriving at the junction of light and darkness, Deya let the bone dragon fall from the sky instead of rushing in directly.

This dark-free land is too conspicuous. There are no clouds in the sky. Unless the bone dragon can fly higher, as soon as it enters this area, it will be noticed like a conspicuous target.

"Such a strong power of dawn."

Patricia sat on Deya's shoulder. She looked solemnly at the area in front of her where there was no darkness, and spoke in a low voice.

As far as the eye can see, all Deya can see is light. Although the light is not dazzling, it is like a shadowless lamp. Within the area of ​​100 miles, not even shadows exist.

In this world of pure light, pure darkness brings great fear to people.

Because on the side where he was standing, Deya could also sense small animals active at night, insects in the grass, and so on.

But in that world of pure light, there was no sense of any life at all.

This is really weird.

"Let me check it out first."

Deya whispered, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of crows flapped their wings and flew into the night sky, circling around the boundary between light and darkness.

Deya wanted to find any signs of human presence nearby.

He was not looking for the survivors of England, but wanted to see whether His Majesty the King of Susaitani had also sent troops.

If so, then he would just sit back and watch, let them fight first, and then he could reap the benefits.

Now that they had arrived near the third cathedral, Deya was no longer in a hurry. He wanted to get a clear picture of the surrounding environment first.

He closed his eyes and once again focused his mind, using the gaze of the Death Crow to not miss any details of the surrounding environment.

If there is a large-scale military movement, there will definitely be great environmental damage in the vicinity, which will be easy to detect.

But after letting the crows fly in all directions, he did not see any traces of a large-scale army.

at this time--

"what?!"

Deya, who was controlling the crow, suddenly opened his eyes and made a surprised sound.

Lamia and Mavis, who had been guarding beside him, withdrew their vigilant gazes and asked, "Deya, what's wrong?"

"I met some acquaintances by telling Black Crow about his death. Come with me!"

As he spoke, Deya summoned several ghost horses, rode one of them and galloped into the depths of a forest.

Lamia and Mavis also quickly mounted their horses and shouted, "Wait for us!"

The three of them rode on horses, Patricia still sitting on Deya's shoulders, and these ghost horses roamed through the dense forest as if it were flat ground.

Suddenly, a faint groan of pain was heard from the front. The violent movements of Deya and his companions, which did not hide their bodies, also allowed the other party to discover them.

"who is it?!"

A delicate cry came from the depths of the woods. When Deya came closer, he saw a girl wearing broken armor and with a bloody face. She was holding a long sword and shouting loudly.

Next to the girl, there was a man who was a little older than her and was also holding a sword. His condition was not much better than the girl's, and his body was covered in blood.

Behind the two men, a man with golden hair was leaning against a tree trunk. He was covered in blood, with many deep wounds that could be seen to the bone, indicating that he had been fatally injured.

And Deya is very familiar with these people.

"Long time no see, Alfred, Fanny, and Julian."

"Deya?!"

Fanny and Julian, who were seriously injured, stared at Deya who suddenly appeared in front of them with wide eyes, and were extremely surprised.

Deya looked at the three people silently, and suddenly said: "You... lost the power of the Paladin?"
