Chapter 142: Verose’s Name as a Saintess
***
However, unfortunately, by the time the red-haired man arrived at the Monster General’s castle in a sorry state, he found that the guards standing at the entrance were four Paladins from the human church……
The Apocalypse Knight’s speed far exceeded his imagination.
Inside the castle, several servants’ corpses lay scattered about, blood splattered everywhere, creating quite a horrifying atmosphere in combination with the dim environment.

The woman wearing white and gold armor pushed open the great hall’s doors and walked in quietly, while at the deepest part of the hall, the Monster General sat on his throne with an extremely grave expression.
“I never expected this war would bring the human church’s Apocalypse Knight. This truly exceeds my expectations.”

The deep voice echoed in the hall, seemingly trying to intimidate the visitor, but the woman’s expression remained unchanged as she continued walking toward him with a slight smile.
“When your target changed from Valkam to our church’s Saintess Candidate, you should have been prepared for this, monster.”
Stopping about 10 meters from the throne, the woman halted, while the Monster General slapped his armrest and suddenly stood up.
“As the trump card of the Apocalypse Church, aren’t you afraid of invoking the Demon King’s wrath by moving so freely?”
Е̄ n̆ ū.ḿ а̀ .īd
“For just one insignificant Monster General’s death, the Demon King wouldn’t care, right?”
Even the Monster General felt an indescribable pressure facing the Apocalypse Knight.
Historically, several Demon Kings had waged war against humans, but no matter how advantageous the early stages were, they were always pushed back by the Great Sage and various human allied forces in the later stages, with quite a few Demon Kings even dying at their hands.
And the Apocalypse Knight was the church’s strongest force within the human alliance.

Fighting such a powerful enemy, he had no chance of victory.
“Release my daughter.”
Ẇ е̂b n оv е̌l É n̈ū.mа̂
Hoping to exchange his life for his daughter, but hearing this, the woman let out a gentle laugh, gracefully playing with her fingers, saying: “I will kill every monster in this castle.”
“You’re dead!”
“Angry already? Hehe, your emotions are so easily provoked.”
Obviously leaving no room for discussion, the Monster General drew his sword and slashed at the woman, while she casually took out a whip and engaged him in battle.
Unfortunately, the Monster General’s strength was significantly inferior to hers, and after just a few exchanges, he was beaten bloody by the long whip, with his originally terrifying magic not even making a splash before her.
Kneeling on one knee, the Monster General let his blood flow down his cheeks, wondering if there was poison on the woman’s whip as his vision blurred and he could barely stand.

“Fighting to the death? The gap between our strengths is rather large.” Putting away her whip, the woman looked down at the Monster General, killing intent gathering in her alluring eyes.
“…… I will quietly accept death by your hands, on the condition that you spare my daughter.”
“You don’t seem to be in a position to make conditions, do you?”
Gripping his sword tightly, the Monster General gritted his teeth, intending to burn his magic power to forcefully raise his strength, but how could the battle-hardened Apocalypse Knight not see through his thoughts?
Snap——!
The long whip fell on his back once again, instantly dispersing the magic power he had just gathered, and the Monster General collapsed powerlessly to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.
Е̊n um̂ а .і̊d
Only at this moment did his heart finally sink.
His daughter and those generals were right, the Demon King and Monster Lords wouldn’t care about the deaths of Monster Generals like them. Placing hope in them was wrong from the start.

The pursuit of benefits among monsters was more blatant; after his death, the surrounding territories would divide up Nikaro, or install a puppet ruler.
【As long as you can take Valkam, I can find doctors to treat your daughter’s strange illness, and you won’t need to worry about what happens after, they will take action.】
They will take action?
Recalling the promise made to him long ago, he couldn’t help but mock himself.
Е̊ n̂ ũ ḿӓ
Naive, he was truly too naive.
Realizing this now was far too late.
His daughter had lost her life because of his naivety.
The woman swung her right hand, and the soft whip transformed into a slender sword. She raised the sword high, seemingly intending to pierce the Monster General’s heart.

“Don’t kill my father!”
At this critical moment, Noa rushed out from the side, falling to her knees beside the Monster General with tears in her eyes, grabbing his arm and crying.
W̆ ӗ b̆ n о́v́ е̃ l̈ Еn ūm̂ а̀
“Little Noa? Quickly go back!”
The Monster General struggled to prop himself up from the ground, urgently urging her, but Noa seemed not to hear, continuing to beg the woman:
“He has already withdrawn his troops! Please don’t kill my father!”
“Withdrawn? Does that negate his crimes? Monsters are truly simple-minded.”
The woman wouldn’t listen to any monster’s pleas. She once again showed a gentle smile on her face, while bringing her sword across, preparing to cut them both in half.
“Since you’re here, it saves me the trouble of finding you. You can die together with your father.”

“Stop!”
Another girl’s voice rang out. The woman frowned and turned to look at the newcomer, who appeared to have just rushed over, panting heavily with beads of sweat on her forehead.
“Sir Knight, please spare them!”
“Who are you?”
The woman played with the sword in her hand, that venomous gaze seeming to want to kill the girl before her as well.
The girl caught her breath, took another breath, then held the necklace at her chest and bowed, saying: “I am Saintess Candidate Verose.”
Ẃ еbnӧ v̌ ê l̇ Е̂n̊u mă
“You are the kidnapped Saintess Candidate?”
The woman looked at the necklace around Verose’s neck, and after confirming her identity, like a venomous snake retracting its attack posture, the ruthlessness in her gaze diminished slightly.

“Yes, after they brought me to this castle, they only kept me under house arrest without mistreating me, and their purpose in taking me was simply to have me treat this girl’s illness.”
Verose stepped forward to block between her and the Monster General, then, under the Monster General’s astonished gaze, she spoke of her experiences these past few days.
“Moreover, before taking me, they promised that the monster army would stay outside Valkam city and not attack. The later attack happened because of that Ten Nights Society envoy.”
“He secretly stole the Monster General’s military token and privately mobilized troops to attack Valkam. When the Monster General found out, he rushed to the battlefield to order the troops to withdraw and killed the Ten Nights Society envoy.”
E nû ḿǎ.i̇d̂
While these words contained both truth and falsehood, to those unaware of the situation, they would likely think the Monster General was a Nikaro lord who valued relationships and kept his promises.
And this was what shocked the Monster General most.
He didn’t mistreat her?
How could that be? Those tortures weren’t something ordinary people could endure, let alone after Jackal stole the military token, he had thought of killing Verose through torture.

If Noa hadn’t woken up that day, this girl would have died long ago.
And after experiencing so much suffering, she was now trying to save them?
Ẃе b̃ nov ẽl̆ Е̌ n ú ḿ а
The Monster General lowered his head, one hand tightly clenched into a fist, his heart filled with complex emotions.
The woman was silent for a moment, then asked with interest: “Everything you said is true?”
“Sir Knight can use magic to check if I’m being controlled.”
“Even if it’s true, you must understand that you, a human Saintess Candidate, are trying to save these two monsters, and monsters are humanity’s greatest enemy.”
“But I treated his daughter, and this Monster General promised me he would no longer send troops to attack Valkam. If it can bring peace, what’s wrong with saving monsters?”
Verose stepped forward, not at all afraid of the woman’s imposing presence.

“Isn’t the existence of Saintess Candidates meant to maintain peace? A stable border is especially important for the human world.”
“Moreover, even if you kill them, Nikaro will have another ruler, and who knows if that ruler might target Valkam then……”
When speaking of these things, the girl seemed to possess a powerful conviction, and even though the woman before her was an Apocalypse Knight from the church, she wouldn’t back down at all.
However, in the woman’s eyes, this was just naivety.
Since when did monsters’ words become trustworthy?
“How absurd. You save these monsters in front of me, I will report this to the Pope, and you might not even be able to keep your Saintess Candidate status then.”
Е̄ ǹũm̃а̇_
“I don’t think this is wrong, taking their lives won’t bring peace! If the Pope thinks I’m biased towards monsters, he can take back my status.”
“If this Monster General later breaks his promise and continues to attack Valkam, it will all be your responsibility.”

“If such a thing happens, I will voluntarily resign my position and go to the battlefield.”
Verose’s neither overbearing nor servile attitude won the woman’s compromise, while her words made the Monster General’s breath catch and brought tears to Noa’s eyes.
To save them, she had bet her own future and prospects on them, and the Monster General clenched his teeth, regret surging like a tide in his heart.
He had never thought he would have his life saved by a human girl, and that human girl had even been tortured by him.

Besides this, he also understood why she had said she wanted to stay here for a few more days.
He had initially thought she wanted to improve her relationship with Noa, so although he despised her, he hadn’t driven her away directly for Noa’s sake.
But the truth was she had known the Paladins would come to the castle, and she had stayed to save them……
Why would there be such a kind girl among humans, and what right did he have to receive her salvation……

“You really withdrew your troops because of her?”
The woman’s cold voice sounded in his ears, he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and followed Verose’s words, saying:
W̆е̄ b ňо̀ v̆ е l Е̊ n ů.m̀â
“Yes, she healed my daughter, so I promised to withdraw the troops, but that Ten Nights Society’s Jackal harbored ill intentions and stole my military token, privately ordering the army to attack Valkam.”
“Ah, how troublesome, all that work and barely killed any monsters.”
Rubbing her temples, the woman sighed, her words full of regret.
Afterwards, she withdrew her sword, only giving the Monster General and Noa a cold glance before grabbing Verose’s wrist and turning around, then saying,
“Verose, is it? Come with me, back to Valkam, your evaluation should be over too.”
“Mm.”

Verose didn’t refuse her, just letting her lead her by the hand, leaving the castle hall, but at the moment before going through the door, she looked back at the Monster General and Noa.
The Monster General stood up from the ground, his eyes full of gratitude, and Noa was the same, though she also stood on tiptoes and waved reluctantly, tears sliding down her cheeks.
Parting today, who knew when they would meet again.
However, in the monster world, she, Verose, had made a friend.
If someday her disguise failed and was discovered, perhaps she could flee here and seek shelter.
Of course, it would be best if she was never discovered.

Walking out of the Monster General’s castle, harsh sunlight fell from the sky. Crossing species boundaries, she had maxed out the favor of the Monster General and his daughter. Although her magic level only increased a tiny bit, she knew the main part was still to come.
When the people of Valkam learned the truth, though their praise would only increase her magic level by a little, if there was enough quantity, she might be able to cross Tier 7 and reach the edge of Tier 8!

Leaving Nikaro and returning to Valkam, the welcoming party at the city gate was quite large.
City Lord Med, Great Sage Lyla, Mevina, and many concerned officers and soldiers, even Angie and her sister had come.
After seeing she was safe, everyone almost simultaneously breathed sighs of relief, and then they learned the truth from the Apocalypse Knight’s mouth.
The monster army’s sudden withdrawal was because of Verose?!
Е́ ǹu mа̄.і̆ď
This news instantly spread throughout all of Valkam, and after learning of the story between Verose and the Monster General, Verose’s name as a Saintess spread in countless people’s hearts.
Gentle and kind while not lacking in tenacity and wisdom, able to force him to withdraw his army and promise to never attack Valkam again even in a situation where she could have died at any moment if she angered the Monster General……
Besides a true Saintess, they couldn’t think of who else could achieve this.
At night, City Lord Med held a grand celebration feast, and except for the Apocalypse Knight and Paladins who had already hurriedly left, almost all of Valkam’s high-ranking officials attended in full.

Golden light illuminated everyone’s faces, no longer filled with worry like before, now they wore smiles, full of hopeful colors.
As the greatest contributor to this war, Verose sat in the main seat, which made the usually humble girl blush somewhat, and after she sat down, someone called out “Saintess,” and everyone else’s form of address for her changed to Saintess!
Ẃ ě b́ n̈_ŏ vе l̂ Е̇ n̊um ă
Even Great Sage Lyla did!
The celebration feast ended rather hastily due to insufficient preparation time, and after leaving the banquet, Verose was taken away by Rex, with Flora accompanying them.
Here it comes, the evaluation results she cared about most!
Just looking at points, Flora had already surpassed her by 400-500 points, and she had no possibility of catching up again, but she hadn’t lost yet.
She had been guessing all along that the final goal of this evaluation was hoping the Saintess Candidate would stop this war, and the 7,000-point rule was the last rule.
So, it was very likely that the Saintess Candidate who successfully stopped the war would win.

After all, the contribution of successfully stopping a war would always be greater than the contribution earned by killing enemies in war, right?
Rex led them to the church’s cathedral, at this time it was deep night, and the clear moonlight enveloped this cathedral, draped it in a layer of white gauze.
Standing on the podium in the cathedral hall, he took up the scroll related to the evaluation.
“War only brings suffering to people and serves as a breeding ground for hatred and conflict. The second evaluation, besides testing your abilities, hoped to help Valkam escape the shadow of war.”
“Therefore, the last rule of the evaluation……” Here, Rex deliberately created suspense, looking at Verose.
Seeing her calm expression, he nodded with satisfaction and continued, “Whoever can stop this war will achieve final victory.”
Е̊ ńū m̀ а̊
Verose appeared calm on the surface but was actually about to faint.
This rule determined whether she could survive! How could she not be nervous?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
And now, she had won her bet.
Whoever stops the war would be the final winner, and only if the war hadn’t ceased by the evaluation’s end would the winner be decided by points.
Clap—Clap—Clap——
Scattered applause rang out in the hall, and Verose finally came back from her tension, looking toward Flora who was applauding beside her.
