In front of these two powerhouses even that was a luxury.
After seeing the dagger knocked away Hertitz slumped to the ground.
She knew that in front of these two powerhouses she had ultimately underestimated the Celestial God’s power.
However Olivia was extremely angry.
“What are you doing!?”
Olivia walked up to her and looked at her with an incredulous gaze.
Her worry had turned into rage.
“Is this the freedom the Heavenly Oracle Envoys have after losing their Mission? How foolish!”
“Let me die, Lord Olivia…”
Hertitz spoke coldly.
Only then did she raise her head to look at Olivia.
There was no warmth in her voice at all.
It was as if she had long since accepted her own death and regarded herself as a corpse.
“I won’t tell you where the others are.”
Actually I know. You’re going to interrogate me soon and force me to reveal your leader. What a cold and heartless person. Just for something like this she’s willing to end her own life. Living was already difficult enough.
Olivia was rarely this angry.
Hertitz fell silent.
She lowered her head and stared at the floor thinking about something with her head down.
Once again she questioned whether her past choices had been correct.
Especially when she saw how heartbroken the others had been.
Creis did not say a single word at this moment and fell into deep thought.
Perhaps Gabriella was right.
Or perhaps her own [rationality] was still not mature enough.
She still could not make the Heavenly Oracle Envoys more united and regard each other as friends.
If she could not even accomplish something so basic then the rationality Creis spoke of was nothing more than childish nonsense.
“I won’t say anything, Miss Olivia. I know you mean well but we have our own beliefs.”
Hertitz raised her head.
This time her voice carried a trace of sorrow and was no longer as decisively cold as before.
“I’m sorry.”
Olivia shook her head.
She did not reply and instead turned to look in Creis’s direction.
But at this moment Creis was only lowering her head and saying nothing.
She was not thinking.
She was simply waiting for Olivia’s answer.
If there was anyone who needed to apologize the most it was definitely Creis herself.
She truly had not expected the Heavenly Oracle Envoys to become like this now.
Nor did she know how to handle things so that both Olivia and Gabriella would be satisfied.
At this moment Olivia picked up the “Soul Severer” from the side.
She walked up to Creis and placed it in her hands.
“Creis. Let’s go back.”
Her ample snow-white skin was almost spilling out.
The fabric around her waist and legs had practically vanished leaving her in a disheveled state.
Her red cloak had been torn in half during the violent magic collision.
Fortunately she had not suffered any injuries.
“What about her?” Creis looked at the girl kneeling on the ground.
Olivia let out a sigh.
“Take her with us.”
The sun rose as scheduled the next day.
At this moment Gabriella was in the garden pavilion of the mansion.
The neatly trimmed lawn was divided into several orderly sections by gravel paths.
Sunlight passed through the fountain casting a beautiful rainbow.
A magpie landed on the branch of a osmanthus tree and looked at the two girls with curious eyes.
Gabriella looked at the Flame Saint kneeling on the ground bound tightly by magic power chains and felt a wave of dizziness.
Creis who was responsible for “escorting” her stood behind Gabriella and nodded.
“Recently she has been monitoring us in the forest, Lord Silver-White Sword Empress. But Olivia and I discovered her.”
“……”
Gabriella nodded.
She had to admit that Olivia and Creis’s perception abilities were truly terrifying.
Creis’s ability was still temporarily unknown.
As for Olivia’s mother her abilities had grown again under the erosion of the Shadow and she had already learned how to use it.
While Gabriella was still somewhat confused about the Shadow Olivia had already learned how to wield it.
“What was your purpose in tracking me?” Gabriella looked into the girl’s eyes.
Creis had not tortured her nor killed her.
There were only Olivia’s sealing spells on her body.
Even her mouth had not been sealed.
However Hertitz displayed a stubborn appearance.
She showed no intention of answering at all.
She even looked as if she had not woken up properly.
Did she not sleep well last night?
Isabella looked at Creis and asked.
Beside her was Isa that is the Evil God Isabella disguised as a knight captain.
“No. She slept in our room yesterday.”
“You all?” Gabriella’s eyes widened.
“Mm. It was the room Olivia specially arranged for our matter.” Creis nodded and admitted it openly without feeling anything was wrong.
As if afraid Gabriella would misunderstand Creis glanced at Hertitz and added “It was the conference room. There was no bed inside. She slept on the sofa.”
Only then did Gabriella nod. “So that’s how it is.”
Afterward she once again shifted her gaze onto Flame Saint Hertitz.
Her doubts seemed to have already vanished like smoke.
The Heavenly Oracle Envoys truly existed.
And it was very possible that they were the ones who had created the God of Holy Feathers.
Everything about the Church and the mysterious Abyss Bishop might all be part of their plan.
Gabriella felt that she was quite good at comforting people.
For example this startled Heavenly Oracle Envoy.
“Hertitz you don’t need to worry. We won’t hurt you. I heard you used to be a Heavenly Oracle Envoy too right?”
“You lost your memory?”
Hertitz did not raise her head and only asked.
“Everyone calls me some kind of goddess but I still can’t remember some things…”
A trace of sorrow appeared in Hertitz’s eyes.
It was as if she regretted the decision she had made not long ago.
“Actually Miss Creis and Miss Olivia aren’t as evil as you imagine. They only captured you to protect me. This is just a misunderstanding. Don’t worry.” Gabriella gave her a warm smile.
For Creis this situation might bring a sense of crisis.
But for Gabriella everyone here even Creis was already standing on her side.
Moreover Gabriella had something very important she wanted to ask her.
“Creis, Lord Silver-White Sword Empress.”
Creis was very “quick on the uptake” and quickly understood that Gabriella intended to put on an act.
“Lord Silver-White Sword Empress.” Creis cooperated very “smoothly” and said “Help me take her to the room on the first floor. I’ll see her later.”
“I understand.”
As Creis spoke she gently pulled Hertitz and helped her up from the ground before walking toward the mansion.
After her figure disappeared Isabella finally asked cautiously “What do you plan to do to her?”
“Nothing much~” Gabriella said with a smile.
“I just have some things I want to talk to her about.”
