Perhaps in the future, a powerful, genius Pastoralist might be able to achieve such an unimaginable miracle, but for now, no one had anything to say about it.
However, in the current state of battle, we just need to be able to save people. Being able to cure them is enough.
Samimi’s healing level happened to be exactly at that point—the level where she could actually cure people. Furthermore, Samimi’s casting speed was ten times that of other Pastoralists. She could clearly use Mass Heal, allowing her to instantly stabilize all the wounded in an entire ward.
So, in theory, Samimi’s healing proficiency on the battlefield was much, much higher than that of an average Pastoralist. It was fundamentally not the “half-baked” skill level that non-professionals claimed it to be.
‘But once a racial war breaks out, how many people can a single super-tier Pastoralist save?’
If the army of Pastoralists stockpiled by the Church could join the front lines, the Human Race could completely forge an undying army. It would be impossible for them to be pushed back to their doorstep by the Deep Flood, as had happened in the original timeline.
“Go home and have some soup to recover.”
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Samimi casually dropped those words and turned to leave.
She arrived at the camp’s main gate. The sturdy wooden gate had already cracked under the weight of successive heavy blows.
*Crash!*
The wooden gate was smashed open. Dozens of adventurers were sent flying, slamming heavily onto the ground. The sound of breaking bones echoed through the air as blood pooled on the floor.
Witnessing this tragic scene, Samimi finally realized that everything she had encountered before had been like playing house. The real battlefield lay beneath this sea of mist shrouded by withered leaves.
*Roar!*
An incredibly massive Rift-Hunting Demon King charged into the Pioneer Camp. It swiped at anyone it saw, and no one could withstand that force.
Accompanying it were many smaller monsters, all invading the Pioneer Camp together.
Samimi instinctively reached behind her to grab the axe-halberd wrapped in cloth. She really wanted to strike, but doing so would expose her identity. In the end, she restrained herself.
‘Niubao, move out.’
Samimi gritted her teeth, actually suppressing her urge to draw her blade. This time, she chose to concentrate on being a back-row healer, refusing to charge into the fray.
**[Knight-Exclusive Amplification Rite Combination]**
She strengthened Niubao with powerful buffs, but she couldn’t recklessly use certain flashy Enchantment rites for now. There were also the Wood magic spells; those rites would definitely arouse suspicion.
The adventurers formed a defensive line, blocking the onslaught of the monster swarm.
However, no one could stop the offensive of that One-Eyed Demon King. Anyone touched by it would be turned into a meat patty. They could only drag the wounded away as the defensive line continued to shrink.
*Bang!*
In a flash, an iron hammer-like force suddenly struck out, shattering the One-Eyed Demon King’s eye with a single hit.
Immediately following was a dark figure, fast as lightning, cutting into the fray!
The crowd only saw two flashes of golden sword light flickering left and right. One by one, the small monsters were sliced into pieces where they stood.
*Roooar!*
The One-Eyed Demon King let out a cry of pain, swinging its massive paws and sweeping them across the area. Even though its eye was injured, it could actually follow that dark figure to deliver powerful strikes.
*Clang! Clang!*
However, two streaks of light flashed again. The giant paws were cut off directly at the wrists.
The dark figure climbed up the Rift-Hunting Demon King’s head, soaring to the giant monster’s shoulder in an instant. The twin swords slashed horizontally.
Everyone saw a crescent-shaped Blood Mist spray out. The head of the giant One-Eyed Demon King flew into the sky, even crashing into its own minions that were still airborne.
The headless body of the giant monster slowly collapsed.
At the same time, its head and paws also slammed into the ground.
The dark figure that had slain the Demon King stood atop the headless monster. She wore black nun-style cloth armor and held a pair of magnificent Golden Twin Swords, leaving the crowd with nothing but an invincible silhouette.
In the next second, she charged further into the Pioneer Camp to slaughter the smaller monsters outside.
“The Three-Body Person, Niubao…”
Samimi watched the scene from the crowd. Even she was stunned by this sight, finally experiencing the oppressive power brought by sheer performance.
(Three-Body Person: A term for an alien, used in games to refer to a new character whose performance completely overwhelms all old characters. A new character fighting an old one is like an alien fighting an earthling. Thus, players use ‘Three-Body Person’ to describe a character with over-the-top performance.)
In particular, Niubao had finally treated that eyesore of a heavy shield as a throwing weapon. She held the Saint’s Shield in one hand and the Golden Twin Swords in the other.
The appearance of these two swords was truly too cool and flashy. Most importantly, the design and color were very elegant.
Even the transmigrator Samimi was dazed, to say nothing of the other adventurers. They all looked like they had seen a ghost. Was that a human? Was that one of their own?
They could only see those two extremely fast blades and a pair of horns.
Other than that, they could see almost nothing. They couldn’t see how she moved, how she swung her swords, or what sword skills she used. They knew nothing.
“Everyone, charge!” the adventurer Captain shouted, coming to his senses and directing everyone to help.
However, when everyone rushed out and looked around with their swords drawn, they only found a ground littered with the remains of small monsters. There was no sign of the black-clothed twin-sword assassin; she had vanished without a trace.
**[Notice: Assisted in killing a Rift-Hunting Demon King, assisted in killing 26 Rift-Hunting minions. Accumulated 9 Goodness Value.]**
Finally, the Evil-Good System that had been silent for a long, long time came back online.
As for why this thing had been gone for so long? It was because it hadn’t made a sound since she accumulated 100 Goodness Value to unlock a new skill.
Just now, her Goodness Value broke 200, yet it still hadn’t unlocked a new skill. So, it was just coming out now to remind her it still existed.
If there were no surprises, she would likely need to accumulate 500 Goodness Value before she could learn the next skill.
The Goodness Value required for this skill was several times that of the Twin Goddess Statue. I can’t imagine what level of power this skill would reach. But Samimi had a premonition that this might be a ritual-grade spell.
Because the Twin Goddess Statue was already a top-tier Magic Domain, she couldn’t imagine a rite even more powerful than a Domain.
‘But why think so much? When on earth will I ever accumulate 500 Goodness Value?’
Furthermore, she had discovered that this Evil-Good System seemed to have a hidden dynamic difficulty—a sort of hidden system found in games.
For example, if you were an expert, the monsters’ strength would increase. If you were a newbie, the monsters’ strength would decrease. The difficulty would adjust according to the player, making it comfortable for everyone.
In other words, the bug where she could farm Goodness Value by selling medicine to others had been patched! Now, she could only earn a tiny bit of Goodness Value by selling medicine.
However, by killing monsters now—even if it was just an assist—she could actually earn a full 9 points of Goodness Value!
The Evil-Good System was actively encouraging her to kill monsters and fight the Deep Flood.
This was dynamic logic.
After all, she had analyzed early on that the Evil-Good System was a Human Race resistance system. Currently, the most pressing crisis for the Human Race was the Abyss.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was still stunned by the violent aesthetics of the black-clothed knight, Samimi grabbed two travel backpacks and quietly slipped away through the camp’s back gate. She had no intention of staying in Pioneer Camp No. 24.
Once everyone came to their senses, she would inevitably have to deal with a lot of troublesome social pleasantries.
So Samimi had told Niubao in advance.
Finish the kill and leave. Don’t linger.
“Niubao, are you there?” Samimi walked alone through the Wansen Sea of Mist. The air was filled with a scent of decay that made one feel very unsafe.
After walking only a few hundred meters, she collapsed onto the ground. She had to carry the heavy travel backpacks as well, and she really couldn’t take it anymore.
Fortunately, Niubao quickly rounded a corner from the forest, lifting the travel backpacks with one hand. Even her finishing moves were incredibly cool.
“Why are you so cool, Niubao?” Samimi was a little envious.
“Are you all right, Priestess?” Although she knew Niubao was just naturally stoic, after watching the performance just now, she felt that even Niubao’s tone of voice was exceptionally cool.
One could only say that Niubao showing off a little was a level of charisma that Samimi could never reach.
Some people were born to be natural show-offs, while others just learned to try and fail after reading books.
Having read martial arts novels for decades, she couldn’t even compare to a cow. She knew everything but could do nothing.
“I’m fine.” Samimi took Niubao’s small hand and stood up.
‘How is this little hand so powerful? And she practices the sword every day—how can her hand have no calluses? It’s still so smooth? She’s a mechanics monster! It’s not fair!’
“Priestess, why are we leaving the camp? I smell something in the surrounding air. It’s very unsafe here,” Niubao asked.
“I don’t want to be in the spotlight,” Samimi replied. “And we still have a mission to do. We don’t have time to deal with them. We’ll move when it gets dark.”
“Understood,” Niubao nodded in agreement.
The Crystal Labyrinth was located right inside Pioneer Camp No. 24, but Samimi didn’t have the qualifications to participate in the mission. Even if she did, she didn’t want others to know.
Therefore, they could only use some illegal means to gain entry.
