The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1566 447: The Unfathomable Demon King Finally Returns to His Loyal Great Graveyard (Part 2)

"Those Ratman Assassins chose the wrong opponent! As they attempted to strike while the Holy Daughter was communicating with the Divine Son, the armor in the gallery suddenly sprang to life and charged them, hacking them into pieces! The Lord Divine Son watches over us, indeed he always has an eye on our Holy Daughter!"

Gunter displayed an expression of surprise on his face, while Rayden breathed a sigh of relief.

Saint Sis be praised...

No matter who saved the Holy Daughter, as long as she's safe.

Even though it's hard to imagine the peril of that battle, just observing the disturbances in the castle and the bodies carried to the courtyard, he knew it was no ordinary fight.

Thinking that Lady Carian was merely an ordinary person without awakened Extraordinary Power, he couldn't help but worry for her.

At this moment, a guard standing at watch suddenly noticed the Great Swordsman standing next to Knight Commander Rayden, then seemed to recall something, and spoke to him.

"Excuse me, sir, are you... Gunter Steinengrabe?"

Although it's quite a complicated surname, because it was an oracle given by the Holy Daughter, he made an effort to remember it.

Gunter turned his gaze to the soldier holding the Long Halberd in one hand and nodded.

"That's me, anything the matter?"

The soldier immediately stood upright and said.

"The Holy Daughter instructed that at dusk, a swordsman carrying a Great Sword would arrive here together with Knight Commander Rayden. If the gentleman's name is Gunter Steinengrabe, he should be brought to meet her... if it's convenient."

Surprise on Gunter's face turned to astonishment.

He glanced at Rayden beside him, then looked at the soldier, nodding.

"... It's not really about convenience or not, take me there."

In fact, this was precisely the reason he came.

Handing the Long Halberd off to his fellow soldier, he immediately said.

"Please follow me!"

...

Following the Salvation Army soldier's steps, Gunter traversed the castle courtyard, littered with Ratmen corpses, to the gallery between the main tower and the auxiliary tower.

The bloodstains on the ground hadn't dried.

The Holy Daughter, dressed in a simple white gown, stood beside the bloodied armor, hands clasped in front of her chest as she silently prayed.

Gunter did not disturb her, merely stood quietly at the doorway, waiting while taking a quick glance at this serene and beautiful maiden.

She was two years older than his foster son Julian, her temperament much more mature.

The simple sanctity in her presence couldn't help but remind him of an old acquaintance, someone from his time in Julian's hometown, Grey Stone Town.

That maiden's fate was far more tragic than hers.

As Gunter pondered on the twist of fate and the whims of destiny, the maiden name Carian released her hands from her chest, raising her bowed eyes.

Her face showed a gentle smile, akin to the visage of the Holy Mother in the church, inciting people to lay down their animosity, and together preserve the tranquility and peace in the air.

"You've come."

Gunter nodded, first glancing around, then spoke with interest.

"You knew I would come?"

Carian nodded gently, speaking in a warm tone.

"The Oracle informed me that you would set off at dawn and arrive at my castle with my knight at sunset... He instructed me to wait for you here."

She paused for a moment before continuing in a calm voice.

"Please allow me to introduce myself first. I am Carian, from the Northern Realm of Rhode Kingdom, a nun serving the Divine... having been saved by the Divine during my journey, I decided to follow His guidance and came here under His direction."

Gunter had heard these stories more than once over the past month.

He was more interested in the "Oracle" she first mentioned than anything else.

"Did He say what I'm here for?"

Watching the intriguing face, Carian smiled gently and nodded.

"He said that you are here to persuade me to deploy, wishing for us to bring order to our fellow countrymen suffering in anguish."

The intriguing smile gradually faded, Gunter's pupils suddenly contracted, his resolute face revealing an incredulous expression, as if witnessing a divine miracle himself.

All doubts were resolved at this moment.

He finally understood where those unknown gazes throughout his journey came from!

They did not come from anyone...

Indeed, they came from Saint Sis himself!

"Did He say anything else?"

Gunter took a step forward, his voice urgent, as if grasping a straw floating on the surface of a river.

He wished he could rush up, pulling the high and mighty God to the ground, to have Him see the suffering people!

Unfortunately, although God exists, He is not as mortals or transcendants imagine.

He was never a specific "person."

Rather, He is "everyone" on this land.

For example, now, his name certainly is Saint Sis, but if everyone who believes in him were to die, He could also switch to the terrifying name of Urgos, leading all insatiable souls into an inescapable death game...

Looking into those steadfast eyes, Carian repeated the Oracle left by Mr. Colin—or rather, Lord Flame King—in a gentle voice.

"He said we must unite and extinguish the fire devouring us all."

Gunter whispered.
