“Let me ask first, are there any other requests?”

Violet was worried that after healing Epunia, he would ask for help with various things for the same reasons. She didn’t come here to work for others.
“Yes, this is the only and final assessment. How about it, can you do it?”
Epunia sounded a bit nervous in his voice. It was clear that he was quite eager to regain his strength and seek revenge against the Southern Calamity for the disgrace of a lifetime.
While his presence undoubtedly provided great convenience for the priestess, Violet and the others’ arrival might also be the only hope for revenge that Epunia had been waiting for decades.
“Okay, it’s settled.”
Without much idle talk, a golden holy staff appeared in the hands of the black-haired girl. She didn’t even stand up, just sat there and lightly tapped the staff toward the tall half-beastman on the opposite side of the table.
“Heavenly Gift.”
Golden droplets, like morning dew, came through the void and fell towards Epunia.
Although only a single drop, the moment it appeared, the air in the entire room instantly cleared, and all impurities were swept away.
The man instinctively reached out to catch it, and as soon as the droplet touched his palm, it quietly merged. Before Epunia could ask, he suddenly shook, stood up, and took a few steps back.
The priestess, anticipating what might happen, had already used a barrier to protect their group of five and the table of food.
Then.
“Ugh!”
Countless gray mists erupted from Epunia’s entire body, much like what was seen on the three individuals before. Astonishingly, the mist surged directly towards Violet and the others!
“As expected, different paths lead to the same result. Luckily, we didn’t waste this table of food.”
The black-haired girl spoke while leisurely eating, observing the changes in Epunia body. Her expression showed no signs of nervousness, it was as if she was watching a good show.
The living, dispersing mist was several times larger and denser than what was contained in the bodies of the three adventurers earlier. However, it still posed no threat to Violet’s radiant light defense. Upon contact, the mist would be instantly purged.
“Miss Violet, Mr. Epunia... Is he okay? He looks quite frightening.”
Watching the half-beastman emit large amounts of mist resembling diarrhea, the kind-hearted Holy Knight seemed a bit worried. Violet, accustomed to her personality, didn’t find it strange.
“Don’t worry, surgery requires a bit of blood. This is just a necessary process for expelling foreign objects from his body. Trust me, I know what I’m doing. Try this dish, the other things from the Criv Kingdom are average, but the vegetables are quite good.”
Since the priestess assured them, Edwina, who believed every word she said, set aside her concerns and nervously tasted the dish Violet personally served into her bowl, awaiting the outcome.
Leila seemed a bit uncomfortable with the scene and didn’t have much of an appetite.
However, a certain Dragon paid no mind, focusing on devouring the large fish and meat on the table. Unlike the priestess, who preferred a light taste and vegetarian dishes, Xiao Guang seemed to favor meat, and most of the hearty dishes ended up in her seemingly bottomless stomach.
The gray mists called “Calamity,” coming fast and leaving quickly, couldn’t return to their original hosts and couldn’t break through the golden barrier. They turned around and attempted to escape through the windows and gaps in the door.
Unfortunately, Violet was equally prepared. All escaping Calamities crashed into another barrier she had set up within the room, instantly purified into nothingness.
A few dozen seconds later, the black-haired girl waved her hand, causing the inner barrier to expand, sandwiching the room and thoroughly purifying it. In the end, all that remained was Epunia, his face filled with joy and amazement.
The mysterious eye-shaped pattern on his chest has disappeared, and his aura has rapidly surged, reaching the legendary level.
“Thirty years... Thirty years, hahaha! Unbelievable, it’s truly a miracle beyond imagination! Just with a single drop of liquid...!”
Epunia laughed regardless of his posture, and he even forgot to pull his clothes back up. The priestess rolled her eyes in her mind.
What do you mean by just a drop of liquid? The 【Heavenly Gift】 is a solid 7th-tier magic. In this world, 7th-tier magic is typically something only demigods can cast, and even surpassing that is challenging—it’s already a power beyond the human realm.
Casually dispelling the dual-layer purification barrier, Violet knocked on the table, reminding a certain half-beastman who was happily dancing.
“I’ve fulfilled what I promised you. Now it’s your turn to fulfill your promise. Shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“Haha, Miss Violet, rest assured. I’ve never gone back on a promise!”
It seems that regaining the legendary power has restored Epunia’s lost confidence. Violet couldn’t help but feel that his posture was much straighter than before.
After the excitement, the former “Battle Maniac” gradually calmed down, returned to the table, and began contemplating the real challenges ahead.
“I’ll go make sure the guild affairs are settled. We can set out tomorrow. How does that sound to you, Miss Violet?”
“Well, let’s leave tomorrow morning. There’s no need to rush tonight.”
With the speed of the diplomatic envoy, it would take at least three days just to reach Anilo City. Although the exact location of the Southern Calamity was unknown, it was sure to appear further south in the Criv Kingdom and not in the region close to the border of the Human United Kingdom. So, Violet wasn’t in a hurry.
“All right, it’s settled. I need to prepare some equipment and items. By the way, since we’re going to fight side by side, may I ask about your strength levels and how I should address you all?”
Epunia wasn’t foolish. If Violet’s displayed miracle and the golden-haired girl’s overpowering presence that suppressed the entire room were only at the legendary level, it would truly be self-deception.
Because they had already reached the legendary level, Epunia better understood the limitations of legendary power.
“What level are you guys...”
Violet scratched her head with some perplexity. Although she didn’t want to boast too much, since the other party asked, there was no need to lie.
At that moment, she let Edwina. Leila, and Rene, All of whom were legendary, introduce themselves briefly. When it came to Violet and Xiao Guang, she simply said,
“It’s meaningless to exaggerate. Just think of us as stronger than transcendent-level.”
“Far superior to transcendent-level...”
Epunia nodded knowingly. Although it might sound like bragging, to be honest, this answer was quite in line with his expectations.
If not for this, the former “Battle Maniac,” who had suffered a defeat once before, wouldn’t have gathered the courage to challenge the Southern Calamity again alongside these girls.
After a dinner party, both sides dispersed to make preparations for the upcoming journey. Epunia arranged VIP rooms for them directly at the Adventurer’s Guild. After tonight, the formal expedition against the Southern Calamity would commence.
