Chapter 405: Chapter 359: The Honest God

Boom!

Before Mira and Vina Kana stood the Divine Statue, which suddenly emitted a thunderous boom. A colossal female Divine Statue took one step after another, approaching them. On its ravaged face, half a lip curled up into a faint smile.

The dense moisture in the air made the scene before them even more chillingly somber.

The stone statues, typically worshipped daily by their respective Believers, stirred to life. It was like they followed the command of some ritual formation, executing the intruders who had breached this sacred place.

The female Divine Statue, striding forward like a Valkyrie, lifted one hand like a Giant Shield. The mountain-high arm smashed down, and in an instant, the expansive lake surged like towering waves, rushing towards Mira and Vina Kana.

"Isaya."

Mira heard Vina Kana chanting in the Ancient Language.

Could it be... fate?

Before Mira could fully make out the meaning of the Ancient Language, its authority manifested before her. She saw the towering waves suddenly distort, and to her amazement, the huge surging waves began to recede step by step, as if time was flowing backward. Gradually, the lake returned to a state of calm.

Vina Kana had twisted the fate of the waves with the Ancient Language.

Mira couldn’t help but utter a cry of amazement.

The Valkyrie-like Divine Statue had not retreated. It stepped forward, its hand transforming into a Blade, and chopped downwards with a heavy strike. In that instant, a great shadow cast down as if a meteor were falling.

It was like thunder exploding on a clear day, as the hand-Blade of the Valkyrie statue descended. Vina Kana pulled Mira back several paces, dodging the fatal blow. The ground split open beneath the force of the hand-Blade, leaving a huge pit at the bottom of the lake.

The statue advanced stiffly, striving with all its might to annihilate the invaders before it.

Yet, due to the size difference, Vina Kana was just too agile. She and Mira dodged one slow, heavy strike after another, searching for vulnerabilities in the statue.

Soon, Vina Kana, with Mira in tow, circled to the statue’s right rear side. Panting, Mira noticed Vina Kana fixating on a gap in the statue’s back.

Before Mira realized what Vina Kana intended to do, the latter had already sprung into action.

Upon the living Saint, an endless brilliance converged within her shell. Her eyes glowed with resplendent gold, a divine power Mira had never seen before overflowed from her, infusing into the Longsword Sofia in her hands.

The sword flickered with light in the darkness, its radiance like a silvery moon, tender and holy.

This light reminded Mira of the Great Angels.

Vina Kana held the Holy Sword aloft, silver radiance emanating from its blade, gathering and spiraling.

Sensing the imminent threat behind it, the statue stiffly rotated its body, attempting to crush Vina Kana into oblivion with brute force.

The lake stirred with waves in response to the statue’s motion.

At that moment, the sword in Vina Kana’s hand burst forth with a faint silver light.

A massive sword light slashed out, like thunder cleaving through dark clouds. As the statue turned, starting at its fractured side, a good half of its right side was split in two by the light of the Holy Sword, the broken limbs of the statue slamming against the rocky wall, raising billowing dust.

The statue’s mouth twisted, as though it was emitting a silent roar of rage. After the sword light had passed, when the shattered body stood before her, that roar turned into what seemed like a mournful wail.

The sound of the collision exploded into a hurricane, the lake’s waves never ceasing. The underground chamber even felt as if it were on the verge of collapse.

When the statue had fully turned its body, Vina Kana once again raised the Longsword in her hands.

The brilliant blade, like the moon in its splendor, ceaselessly overflowed with a silver-white radiance, the Blade reflecting an unparalleled divine light.

Vina Kana brought the sword down from above, striking with neither too much force nor too little.

In an instant, the gleam of the sword swept by, and the immense Divine Statue was split in two. The entire body suddenly collapsed, and the underground space shook violently, as if enduring the movements of the earth’s crust.

Under the might of the Blade’s light, the Valkyrie statue, operated by Divine Power, was ground into dust in the blink of an eye.

Mira stared blankly at Vina Kana, who had slashed with two swords.

Her soft golden hair fluttered with the wind after the slash, her bright gold eyes so supremely dignified, her body shrouded in a faint glow, the billowing dust bowing before her, and although she clearly stood on the ground, at that moment she appeared as if she was standing in Heaven.

This person seemed to come from God.

Faced with a dumbfounded Mira, Vina Kana slowly sheathed her Silver Sword Sofia.

She walked past Mira, casually patted the girl on the head, reminding Mira to keep up.

Mira swallowed and followed behind her, seeming somewhat uneasy.

After following Vina Kana for a while, Mira said softly,

"You, you’re as formidable as the legendary Solamus..."

Vina Kana replied indifferently,

"I don’t know, I hold no desire for comparison."

After hearing this, Mira hesitated for a moment before asking,

"Do you think, one day, I could be as impressive as you?

You come from the future, in your era, has anyone heard of the name ’Mira’?"

Vina Kana responded,

"Many people are named Mira, it’s a very common name."

The girl fell silent for a moment, her eyebrows drooping, a touch of melancholy flashing by.

Yes, whether in this era or in Vina Kana’s time, "Mira" was indeed a very common name.

She came to this world merely for fun, never taking her mission seriously, so who would remember Mira from Heaven?

As the girl was steeped in melancholy, she heard Vina Kana add,

"Perhaps... you are the most special one."

Mira was stunned for a moment, then her face blossomed into a happy smile.

The two of them walked along the cobblestone path that was nearly destroyed in the battle, examining their surroundings and discovered that this place was probably a private ritual site, perhaps only accessible to the higher-ups of the Bone Church.

Soon after, they arrived at the center of the ritual site, where the altar was also shattered. But the difference was that in the very center, there stood a huge engraved stone with a face.

The stone was engraved with a lifelike face and filled with complex ritualistic patterns; the face had its eyes closed, and its expression was frozen in the midst of a twisted struggle, as if it were trapped.

"This is just... like throwing someone into a hole and then filling it with concrete..."

Mira remarked in a low voice.

Before her words had fallen, at that moment, the face on the stone abruptly opened its eyes.

The rigid and cracked lips began to tremble.

Mira jumped in fright, while Vina Kana slowly approached.

They then heard the face trapped in the stone strain its throat and uttered,

"Welcome... I am Slaier, known for my honest nature, never lying, and for my love of making mysterious contracts with people."
