He looked straight ahead, and in front of him was Princess Kalia's back with her soft, golden hair. He and Erwin were positioned on either side of the doorway, just out of most people's sight.
Hope silently gathered her strength, and Erwin understood, his longsword sliding slightly, creating a wisp of wind that caused his robes to flutter.
The next moment, a dense divine rune emanated from the divine robes and silently landed on Kalia in the blind spot of her vision...
The moonlight cascaded down like a waterfall.
To everyone's astonishment, Princess Kalia's body shimmered with a crystalline light, the cool moonlight swirling around her white dress, making her skin appear flawless, like that of a goddess, exuding an ethereal and sacred aura.
Suddenly, the wind in the room fell silent, as if the whole world had been isolated.
Meanwhile, Princess Kalia's long, flowing hair moved without wind, the golden strands swaying gently, shimmering with a delicate, luminous white luster under the moonlight—transforming into a pure, snow-like silver-white.
Above Kalia's head, two fluffy rabbit ear phantoms materialized, bouncing along with Kalia's surprised eyes.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent...
"It really works!" Erwin clenched his fist excitedly.
Turning his head, he asked Archbishop Hope with admiration, "What kind of divine magic is this, and how long will its effects last?"
"This isn't divine magic," Hope said, turning around with a puzzled look.
"This is just a common spell we clergy often use when preaching, to illustrate the charm of Saint Lena—"
"An illusion that can turn hair white."
"As for these lighting effects, they were only really pretty for that brief moment when they happened..."
As Hope finished speaking, to Erwin's astonishment, the luster on Princess Kalia's body gradually faded, leaving only her rabbit ears and... soft white fur.
"What the hell is this for?!"
The next moment, Erwin burst into a tirade of curses.
Chapter 74 If I had to put it into words, the entire population of the Kingdom of Kur...
Demon City.
Mino shook her head helplessly:
"Fine, consider it useful information."
Having no desire to argue with Swell any longer, he turned and walked down the stairs, his face filled with anticipation and excitement as he turned around.
Footsteps disappeared into the night... On the high platform, Swell's book pages gradually closed, his expression somewhat solemn.
The pressure from the deductions gleaned from Lady Kletina's mouth was entirely different from that from Mino's confident pronouncement.
Does the hero Mino truly possess the mysterious power to escape the Demon King's castle? He's truly an enigmatic man.
If that's the case, we must stop them at all costs, or gather as much intelligence as possible before they escape.
The pages trembled slightly, and Swell made up his mind:
"It seems we need to intensify the torture of the hero Mino..."
Mino stood alone in the corridor in front of the cell.
Having just been interrogated and received a reward, Mino felt as refreshed as if she had taken a hot bath.
The highly anticipated rewards for the interrogation mission are now shining brightly.
[Rewards have been distributed: One random attribute of all human factions has been greatly increased for 24 hours]
【Do you want to draw now? 】
"Extract!" Mino said expectantly.
He wasn't worried about drawing any uncommon attributes.
It's important to understand that the reason humans have been able to live on continents inhabited by so many powerful races is because of their strong adaptability!
Whether it's a warrior who trains their strength to continuously improve their power attribute; a mage who studies the laws and runes to unleash terrifying power with their high intelligence attribute; or even an agile assassin, a defensive shield guard, or a lucky thief... any class with maxed-out attributes could be made into an epic fantasy anime!
And now, this reward can be applied to all of humanity.
"Descend, Fourth Calamity!" As Mino's lips curled into a slight crooked smile, the system's reward was instantly generated.
A flash of white light passed by.
[Random selection in progress, selection complete - buff takes effect immediately]
[Effected Attribute: XP]
"Oh? XP? Is that mana?" Mino frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.
"It seems that all the mages in the Mage Tower are about to receive an epic buff!"
Mino clenched his fist, secretly feeling energized.
It seems I can already see countless holy mages, accompanied by their mentor and friend, Chief Lak, descending upon the glorious scene of the Demon King's castle ruins!
pat, pat.
Suddenly, familiar footsteps sounded behind me.
Mino turned around abruptly, her voice abruptly stopping, the corridor behind her still empty.
Mino raised an eyebrow, unsuspecting, and turned to continue walking towards the cell.
Pat, pat, pat—the sound of stumbling footsteps grew more frequent.
"what!"
The next moment, Mino turned her head again, and this time, the unprepared little furball hurriedly hid behind a pillar in the corner.
"Hmph, you think you can hide from my eyes?!"
Mino immediately burst into laughter and strode forward, ruthlessly walking towards the white ahoge (antenna-like hair) exposed outside the pillar, trembling in self-deception.
The little guy, who was crouching in the corner with his hands covering his eyes, was spotted by Mino with a "whoosh".
With a happy and joyful "Awoo!" sound, Mino pointed his finger smugly at the white-haired loli by the pillar.
"Found you, Mimi..."
Mino's words caught in her throat.
He was inexplicably stunned, his gaze fixed on the small figure in the moonlight.
With her fluffy white hair and innocent, childlike face, Mia's face immediately lit up with a bright, radiant smile after Mino spotted her.
With a snap, Mia threw herself into Mino's arms.
“Ahhh~!”
Mino seemed somewhat out of sorts at this moment.
"This, this is..." Mino's hands trembled uncontrollably, and with a whoosh, he lifted Mia up by the waist.
The next moment, his eyes lit up with little stars:
"How can there be such an adorable creature?!!!!"
"White-haired loli is the best!!!"
Mino couldn't resist kneading Mia's bouncy cheeks, and the latter's tender face showed a pleasant expression as she comfortably shook her little head.
"Ah woo~~~"
"Baby! You are a sweet and soft little cake!" Mino's heart melted instantly, and she said with a look of pure bliss.
For some reason, Mia seemed exceptionally cute to him today.
Yes, especially...
Suddenly, Mino's pupils dilated!
Don't you know why...?
His movements gradually stiffened, and he lowered his head, as if he had thought of something, looking at a point in the void.
A line of simple, unadorned text appeared before my eyes—
[Buff: XX is the best]
[Effect: Greatly increases the XP (fetish value) of all human factions]
“x…xp?” Mino’s pupils contracted sharply.
Like being electrocuted, he kept repeating intermittently, "x...xp? No...the magic XP in the game? It's this...this XP?"
“x…x…x…p?” Mino muttered absentmindedly.
During this process, Mia moved as nimbly as a koala, crawling all over Mino's body and hanging on the petrified Mino, emitting soft, sticky laughter.
next moment.
Mino started cursing:
"What the hell is this for?!"
……
In front of the Holy Church Square.
The way everyone looked at Princess Kalia became terrifying.
"Your Highness...a goddess?"
A cold night wind blew by, and Erwin, who was fully encased in armor, shivered: "...See! I told you this wouldn't work!!"
He turned to seek help from Archbishop Hope, only to find the other man also completely stunned, staring at Princess Kalia's retreating figure, his lips trembling violently.
"It's...really..."
"what?"
Erwin stared in shock, his mouth agape, as two streams of tears flowed uncontrollably from Archbishop Hope's face.
"This is a goddess!"
With a thud, he fell face-first to the ground.
The next moment, an unprecedented commotion erupted in the square:
