The Holy Church, Holy Pope Nameru.
Ah... this is truly a very important person for Vera, who came along with them.
"We don't need to follow the route set by Mentor Weisha. After the next batch of team members arrives, the Watch Vanguard will also disperse to carry out the same mission."
Because we are familiar with certain areas of the Western empires, we have the authority to act freely, only needing to report key information.
On the way to the Holy Church, Bu Xiaosai explained why he was going there.
First of all, they had no idea what the current situation of the Empire was, and they urgently needed to find a survivor to tell them what was going on. However, based on the first day's survey of the surrounding area, there were hardly any animals, let alone people.
Moreover, they were dead animals, and the Holy Pope chose to seal himself away after they left, so it is highly unlikely that the Void will find them.
Secondly, this was also Villania's request. Ultimately, without the Holy Pope's blessing at that time, Villania and Dai would not have received so many benefits.
With familiar faces like Xiao Dai, Liu Lang, and Verania here, it's definitely much better than letting Xiao Sa lead the team to search aimlessly.
But when they arrived at their destination, they were completely dumbfounded.
Because that once small town had long since become a wasteland, even though they had only been gone a short while...
Are you sure you didn't take us to the wrong place?
Liu Shenjun and Bu Xiaosai looked at Liu Lang and Xiao Dai strangely, but they were also very troubled.
"If I'm wrong, that's still possible, but if we're both wrong, that's unlikely."
Well, since Liu Lang has said that, let's clear the area first.
After much deliberation, Verania confirmed that this wasteland was once a branch of the Holy Church, but she didn't know why it had become what it is now.
"Sister, why don't we call everyone to come out and help?"
Standing in front of Liu Lang, Xiao Ju asked in confusion.
Uh, why? Cough cough, don't worry, it'll come out soon.
"The Lionheart Knights! The Holy Sisters! Come forth!"
Verania then summoned more people to help, and as soon as they were summoned, a purple and white aura rose up in the distance.
"It's the Holy Pope's self-sealing!"
Liu Lang and Xiao Dai's eyes lit up, and Bu Xiaosai, who heard the commotion, immediately led everyone to rush over.
In the distance, the buried earth emitted particle-like special effects. Liu Shenjun sliced open the ground below with a single sword strike, revealing the inner layer of the buried staircase.
"That's it, this is the place!"
This used to be the staircase leading to the underground seal. Although we don't know what happened here, it's so good that we can still find it.
"It has to be Little Orange again."
Liu Lang patted Xiao Ju's head with a sigh, then created a weapon clone to dig out all the soil below, revealing the underground altar.
Verania looked at Little Orange, whose face was slightly flushed, and smiled like an aunt. However, when she walked up to the altar, she was stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Dai also took a closer look and was suddenly surprised to find that there were only three seats inside.
That's right, these three people are Liu Lang, Xiao Dai, and Verania.
"Purple erosion has appeared at the four corners of the seal, but fortunately the core is unharmed. However, it looks terrible, and the Holy Pope didn't leave any other entrances..."
Bu Xiaosai, who was pondering to the side, nodded in agreement. Perhaps the Holy Pope was afraid that others might accidentally break in, or be used by bad people, so he only granted access to Liu Lang and the other two who had entered the sealed land before.
"It's up to you. We'll keep watch outside, but because of the urgency, we can only guard you for three days at most. If you come out again after that, contact me through the combat system, okay?"
"Um."
Xiao Dai nodded, and Liu Lang had no objections. In any case, Liu Lang had already upgraded everyone's equipment before they came. At least Liu Lang felt that unless a new god descended, no one could defeat them.
As the sealing light flickered, Liu Lang and the other two walked inside.
......
"Come forth, Knights of Lionheart!"
As soon as Vera entered, she released the Lionheart Knights, who immediately searched their surroundings and then reported back to Vera.
"Huh? Where am I?"
Liu Lang blinked. This place seemed familiar. Where had he seen it before?
"Nia, this is yours..."
"Yes... but how could it be... my castle?"
Verania and Dai Shanren stared in astonishment at the familiar castle before them, while Liu Lang beside them suddenly realized what it was all about.
"Oh! Right! Isn't this your Netherworld Castle? Are we going back to Netherworld?"
"No... Brother Liu Lang, you don't know this."
Nia's house in the Netherworld Abyss was a replica based on her memories, but it had also undergone major renovations, so the differences are immediately noticeable.
But this place in front of me...
Xiao Dai had previously seen Villania's memories, so he was very familiar with the castle before him. Similarly, Villania wouldn't forget the castle from her memories, but...
Why would this appear in the sealed land?
"An illusion?"
Liu Lang blinked, but neither Xiao Dai nor Verania knew anything. At that moment, the Lionheart Knights, who had been searching everywhere, returned.
"Reporting to the Holy Maiden, we have found no other way out."
There is no other way...
Verania also summoned the Saintess Order, though she didn't know why the castle before her had appeared, but...
