The newcomer was Holy Queen Simona.
She was the leader of the Church.
Compared to that legendary figure, Simona was also one of the strongest humans, possessing power second only to Lady Silver-White Sword Emperor.
She controlled the entire central wilderness and had built several Church wonder sanctuaries around the world, even in the southern and northern continents.
All kings in the world who believed in gods would bow and submit to her.
And now, this powerhouse had actually personally led an expedition and come here.
Leah did not resist.
It was as if she understood that in front of the two strongest humans, she had already lost the need to struggle.
Simona flew in front of her.
That cold gaze showed some emotion in an instant, but it disappeared without a trace in an extremely short time.
She used the special chains of the Church to bind Leah’s hands.
Leah knelt on both knees and completely lost the thought of resisting.
She lowered her head and looked at the ground.
After confirming that her power had been suppressed, Holy Queen Simona looked toward [Flame Saint] twenty meters away.
Behind her stood several red-armored knights.
They all seemed to be elites of Flame Lock.
“Miss Flame Saint, I need an explanation for your betrayal of the Church.”
The flames on [Flame Saint] Hertitz’s body gradually disappeared.
She lowered her head and fell into thought, causing the air to fill with the smell of gunpowder.
She suddenly raised her head and said firmly, “Your Majesty, there seems to be some misunderstanding between us.”
“There is no need to call me Your Majesty. You are no longer my knight. I will also strip away the title of Flame Saint within a few days.”
Hertitz’s gaze was serious. “I have told you before. Everything I do is for humanity, just like a few years ago.”
“Is that so?” Holy Queen Simona seemed to be hiding her anger. “A few days ago, after the war, you led the Seventh Knight Captain and the Fifth Knight Captain to desert and disappear without a trace.”
Hertitz’s eyes showed some evasion.
She only lowered her head.
Then, as if remembering something, she looked at the several knights beside her and had them leave this place.
“Whether you trust me or not, the Church is very dangerous. A god will descend, and one of our greatest enemies is that existence secretly controlling everything.”
“Enemy and god? Do you know what you are saying?”
“I am very clear. So… thank you, Miss Simona. If not for you, I would not have this kind of opportunity now. But precisely because of that, I am telling you.”
A trace of pity appeared in Hertitz’s eyes.
“Miss Simona, no human can defeat the current me. The Knight Order cannot stop me.”
“Teleportation scrolls can allow the Knight Order to reach anywhere.” Simona’s voice was cold and serious, as if threatening her.
The Priest Order was resting at a camp thirty kilometers away.
Hertitz acted as if she had not heard and continued speaking on her own.
“Miss Simona, I suggest you stay away from the Church’s upper echelons. Then, protect Miss Gabrielle well. We will go pick her up… She will not refuse. Also, if you want to find me, Flame Lock will always welcome you.”
As the leader of Flame Lock, flames ignited beneath Hertitz.
She flew into the air.
A pair of red wings unfolded behind her.
She flew in the opposite direction of the crack.
The Flame Lock knights all disappeared into magic arrays.
They had also prepared teleportation scrolls.
Just before leaving, Hertitz deeply looked at Simona.
Then, a trace of fear emerged in her calm pupils.
Five years ago, when Miss Simona was still fighting deep inside the evil tree, she had encountered a powerful golden-yellow demon — the Bathing Gold Demon.
That demon was currently the most troublesome and dangerous enemy the Flame Lock Knight Order had ever faced.
She thought of a possibility that made one’s blood run cold.
However, because it was far too absurd, Hertitz stopped her imagination and disappeared into the night sky.
Simona watched the golden-yellow meteor in the night sky.
She descended to the ground and walked straight toward Leah’s direction.
At this moment, Leah also raised her head and looked at Miss Simona who had stopped in front of her with hesitant eyes.
“Master.”
Simona knelt on one knee.
Those cold and serious eyes seemed to have lost their spirit.
All of her sharpness melted like thick, dense candy.
In an instant, she had become demon Leah’s most loyal servant.
A pair of golden-yellow horns grew on her head.
Behind her, a golden heart-shaped tail elegantly stood upright.
Holy Queen Simona was a high-rank demon.
If any knight were to see this scene, they would probably feel deep despair.
But Simona did not care.
She used a submissive and emotionless voice to report the battle situation to her master.
“Hertitz left. It is very safe now.”
“This time, it was also thanks to little Qian. I did not prepare more puppets. This time was really dangerous.”
Leah let out a sigh of relief and gently pushed open the chains on her hands.
The black skirt had been somewhat damaged during the battle, revealing the white soft flesh beneath the black stockings.
“It is nothing.”
Simona’s face flushed red.
“I am also your puppet. A weapon you can use at any time. This is your victory.”
Leah stroked the head of the foolish Simona.
The latter’s tail began wagging left and right, her face full of enjoyment.
“It seems things are more complicated than we imagined.”
She could not wait to rub her face against Leah’s hand.
Her other long leg wrapped in white thigh-high stockings was pressed together.
Her body was restless, as if thirsting for something.
Unfortunately, the current Leah was lost in thought and had not yet noticed her little dependent’s desire.
“We must go find Lady Gabrielle. We need their help. Lord Evil God is also there. The situation is very complicated.”
“What about the evil tree?”
“Now this evil tree is already in name only. Just let the knights investigate. It is harmless.”
“Ah~ Leah master. Are we going to that mansion? The Heavenly God is a dangerous person—”
“There will always be a way.”
Leah’s hand became even gentler.
Only then did she notice that Simona was looking at her with a gaze filled with unsatisfied desire.
She knew that little Qian wanted her affection.
She also knelt and sat on the ground, hugging Simona’s shoulders.
“Hmm? What is little Qian thinking? Her tail has been wagging non-stop since the beginning.”
“Hehe…”
Simona used her tail to poke Leah’s waist, as if hinting at something.
The latter also quickly used her tail to wrap around hers, entangling with each other.
Their knees touched, forming a beautiful line of scenery together with the girls whose fingers were interlocked.
After some time, they kissed each other’s lips.
Simona’s trembling became more and more intoxicated.
After accepting more shadows, her body became even more submissive.
Her entire body went soft in the numbing electric current.
Just like when she had been transmitting power earlier.
“Master~”
Her voice carried excitement along with a trace of intoxication.
“Little Qian is so cute.”
After a long while, Simona and Leah separated from each other.
The world in their eyes contained only each other.
