“Is there any water?”
The moment you woke up, your throat felt like it was on fire.
You reached out to grab something to drink.
However, your hand only grabbed a fistful of lubricant.
“I didn’t expect this thing to be completely unnecessary.”
You looked at Xilika sleeping peacefully beside you, thinking this to yourself.
The clock on the wall had already turned to noon.
Getting out of bed, you found water in the cabinet next to you and gulped it down.
“I’m alive again.”
“I’ll wait for Xilika to wake up before continuing on the road… It’s not urgent anyway.”
Unlike the center of the giant pit where you were before, the edge of the pit sliced the sky in two like a knife.
Outside the window was a somewhat desolate goblin market. Since few here could afford human slaves, it looked no different from a human market.
Suddenly it started raining outside, raindrops hitting the window with a dull sound.
Soon the rain intensified, and the once clear view became a curtain of rain.
Xilika suddenly turned over, muttering something unintelligible.
You helped pull the blanket over her.
Only then did you realize that this was a rare moment of comfort since you had transmigrated.
Looking at Xilika’s sleeping face, you recalled the system notification from yesterday.
“Can you also get rewards for romancing girls?”
[Yes, Host. Depending on the difficulty of pursuing them, you will receive rewards of corresponding quality.]
“There’s also this feature?”
“What is the standard for a successful romance?”
‘It can’t be that just sleeping together counts as success, right? That’s no different from the Joyful Union sect in cultivation novels.’
[You need to make the other party fully acknowledge you.]
“I see…”
“Looks like I’ll have to find ways to romance some high-and-mighty women in the future.”
‘Lai En didn’t really have that many thoughts. As long as he could get stronger, that was fine. After all, this was just a simulation. After he ended it, whether this world continued to exist was another question.’
‘Besides, before this, he had fought desperately, losing arms and legs just to barely get a purple reward. Now, just sleeping with the Saintess gave him a gold-quality magic.’
‘Like that witch named Xima before, and the S-rank Fire Mage… If he could successfully romance those two…’
[Host, your thoughts are dangerous.]
“That’s right. The previous race didn’t allow it.”
“But this simulation really had fate.”
“Since you fully acknowledge me, I’ll take you and fight our way out.”
Lai En’s expression turned serious, and he looked at Xilika with determined eyes.
……
“What do you mean she will take me and fight our way out?”
In front of Xilika, three swords formed from holy light floated in the air.
“I don’t know why… but after last night, my magic power has recovered, and now I’m… terrifyingly strong.”
“Oh, right, killing your kin… you won’t feel bad, will you?”
At Xilika’s feet lay many goblin corpses.
“No… I’m a goblin.”
‘Actually, I’m human…’
Of course, Lai En couldn’t say that.
“We’ve arrived. This is the border of the Goblin Kingdom.”
A wall of light appeared as if falling from the sky.
“This is…”
Xilika touched it with her hand.
“This is actually an ancient magic formation.”
“Then we can’t get out?”
“I’m afraid so.”
Both of their faces showed difficulty.
“I have a bold idea.”
“What?”
“I think we can fight our way back.”
“That works…”
In response, countless Moonlight Divine Swords rained down from the sky.
The immense magical power emanating from Xilika was something you had never felt before, even more terrifying than the previous S-rank Adventurer.
It was even… close to divine power.
Xilika led you all the way back to the villa, fighting as they went.
On the way, you encountered Dan Ba.
He had heard about your deeds early on: the Saintess had used her magic to fight all the way back to the goblin capital.
He didn’t believe it at first, until even the King was alarmed.
At this moment, he and Zagugur, the Goblin King, were standing in front of your villa.
“Lady Saintess, we were poor hosts before. Please forgive us.”
Beside Zagugur was a cart full of gold coins, estimated to be tens of thousands.
Next to the mountain-like pile of gold coins stood several girls wearing torn nun habits.
“S…Saintess!”
When they saw Xilika, hope rekindled in their empty eyes.
Originally, they had prepared themselves to be given away as slaves, but they never expected to meet Xilika here.
“My name is Zagugur, ruler of the Goblin Underground Kingdom.”
“These gold coins and sl… humans are all yours. Please forgive my subordinates’ disrespect.”
“Yes… Lady Saintess, it was my fault before…”
Dan Ba had put away his previous arrogant attitude and was now prostrating on the ground, begging Xilika for mercy.
His body was enormous, and lying on the ground looked ridiculous.
However, in the next moment, Zagugur drew a massive jet-black greatsword.
Before Dan Ba could make a sound, his head rolled to the side.
“So decisive.”
Zagugur had a face full of rough flesh, his body covered with blocky muscles, and wore little armor.
He didn’t have the immense magical power that Xilika had, but he always gave you the feeling that he could charge over and end your life in the next second.
“Hospitality?”
Xilika looked at Zagugur with a mocking gaze.
She glanced at you beside her.
“Compared to this goblin who protected me when he could have violated me, you beasts who only compromise when you know you’re about to die—I have no need to forgive you.”
Bright light erupted in front of Xilika.
A scene like a miracle appeared before your eyes.
Endless holy light swords fell from the sky, and Xilika’s body emitted a radiance as dazzling as a full moon.
“Then it seems the Lady Saintess doesn’t care about the lives of these companions of yours.”
Seeing this scene, even Zagugur’s expression changed.
It was only then that you witnessed what the fear of a strong person truly meant.
“Heh, companions?”
Xilika let out a cold laugh.
“If you’ve kept them until now, they must be traitors from our church.”
“You’re free to kill them. It would help the Silent Moon Church eliminate a potential threat.”
However, to your shock, Zagugur did not beg for mercy.
“Then there’s no other way, Lady Saintess. This is also the first time I’ve encountered an opponent possessed by the Main God.”
It was only then that you learned from Zagugur that Xilika’s current state was called Main God Possession.
The Main God… probably refers to the Moon Goddess that Xilika believes in.
Zagugur crushed the heads of those nuns, then licked his blood-stained fingers.
The duel between the ruler of the Underground Kingdom and the Saintess of the Silent Moon Church.
This was the first time you had witnessed a battle of such scale.
