It’s her!
For some reason, upon hearing the voice, Theresa’s mind immediately conjured the holy and pure face of a certain fleeting beauty.
Almost throwing the imminent fear of death behind her, the village girl eagerly turned around, and there before her eyes was the noble and pure beautiful black-haired girl who had left an unforgettable impression on her not long ago.
Ah... it’s really, truly her...
Overflowing with infinite emotions and happiness, Theresa suddenly felt as if everything in her almost twenty years of life had been laid out for this moment.
However...
The village girl couldn’t comprehend why this supposedly privileged girl, who should be within the protective framework of the Human United Kingdom, and the somewhat aloof golden-eyed, golden-haired girl beside her, who dared not make eye contact, had suddenly appeared here.
Theresa looked back at the two in the sky and immediately understood the immensely powerful white-winged girls. They must be the bodyguards of this noble black-haired girl.
Rumors had it that the destination of the Human United Kingdom envoy’s journey was the Azure Sky Kingdom. Could they have been sent specifically to protect her?
Indeed, she must be a very important person!
Violet, unaware of what the village girl was thinking, had just escaped danger and was already brainstorming various thoughts.
She just looked at the sharp splinters deeply embedded in the other’s arms and thighs. She found it strange that the green-haired girl was just staring at her, somewhat dumbfounded.
Doesn’t this person feel pain?
If it weren’t for the fact that the other was quite cute, the priestess wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters. At most, she would save her life without actively asking if she needed healing.
Wait, could she... not understand the language of the Human United Kingdom?
This chaotic and diverse place accommodates various races and creatures from around the world, so using languages from different cultures is not unusual. Violet had witnessed this during the time she ventured out alone to investigate the phenomena of the Illusionary Cloud.
Just as the priestess was about to take out her long-neglected translator, the seemingly naive girl suddenly spoke, using very authentic United Kingdom language.
“T-Thank you for saving my life! But, being a rough girl like me, how can I trouble you for healing? I might dirty your noble hands with blood, and this kind of minor... Oh!”
Before she could finish, Violet nonchalantly flicked a particularly sharp splinter at her arm. The village girl winced in pain, twitching and grimacing.
“It’s a minor injury, so it’s quite easy to handle. Stop the chatter and endure a bit.”
Violet conjured a faint golden light and threw it directly onto the girl in front of her. Instantly, it spread into a warm halo, enveloping Theresa’s entire body.
Including the impact injuries she had suffered earlier, damaged bones and muscles swiftly healed. The wooden splinters embedded in Theresa’s body were automatically expelled and fell away.
The entire process lasted less than ten seconds, and the expected pain and splattering blood did not occur at all, leaving the inexperienced village girl dumbfounded on the spot.
Seeing her bewildered expression, Violet found it a bit amusing and waved her hand in front of Theresa.
“Snap out of it. You’re already healed.”
“Eh?”
It was only at this moment that the village girl finally reacted, wearing a face of astonishment and being pleasantly surprised.
“Is this... the legendary healing magic? Sorry! I have never had close contact with a mage before, and I thought... I thought you would physically pull them out one by one.”
“Ah... haha...”
Caught off guard by having her thoughts exposed, Theresa blushed slightly and awkwardly scratched her head. However, soon she remembered the villages and companions devoured by the terrifying monsters, and her expression once again turned grim and serious.
“Um... I’m Theresa, a... mixed-blood villager from White City 27th Village. Thank you again for saving me and for your companions’ help, noble individuals from the Human United Kingdom.”
Considering the discrimination of the Human United Kingdom towards non-humans, Theresa initially intended to temporarily conceal the fact that she was not a pure human. Yet, faced with the admired figures and unwilling to deceive her life-saving benefactors, Theresa, though a bit clever, ultimately bit her lip and spoke the truth.
However, what surprised her was that, despite being a prominent figure from the Human United Kingdom, the noble black-haired girl’s attitude didn’t change upon hearing the term “mixed-blood.” Instead, she casually smiled and reciprocated with a self-introduction.
“I’m Violet, let’s just say, a wanderer traveling around. How did you know we’re from the Human United Kingdom?”
“Ah, well... actually...”
Glancing at the intense battlefield in the sky and seeing that the black-haired girl remained composed, Theresa began recounting the events of the day. However, she skillfully omitted the initial awe and admiration she felt upon their first meeting. After all, she could be shy too, especially when it’s in front of the person herself.
“I see... So, you also don’t know what that thing is?”
Feeling a bit uneasy under the sparkling gaze of the young girl, Violet shifted her focus to the creature in the sky, seemingly engaged in a back-and-forth battle but already completely suppressed by the winged sisters.
This spiky creature, at first glance, resembled a regular organism infested by the “Calamity,” but the priestess, having just unraveled its true nature, was certain.
The origin of this entity definitely did not come from the Goddess of Earth.
This was an individual entity, and those spikes were merely weapons it had grown. This was likely an extraterrestrial being.
Not belonging to this world, it would be naturally rejected and suppressed. If not for this, dealing with it would likely be even more challenging.
Though the monstrous insect was clearly not an equal match for Leila and Rene, it’s important to note that they were true legendary powerhouses. Even in a superpower like the Human United Kingdom, the total number of legendary individuals mentioned in legends wouldn’t exceed ten.
The fact that they could withstand a two-on-one situation for this long without defeat was already remarkable.
Violet was somewhat concerned. How many such entities existed, or rather, how many had arrived in this world?
If this creature was just one part of an army, then...
From the description provided by the village girl named Theresa, it was evident that this creature preyed on humans. Moreover, its appetite and digestion capabilities were terrifying. In this short period, almost a third of the entire village, over a hundred people, had likely been swallowed by it.
If one creature alone could cause this much havoc, what if there were a thousand or even ten thousand?
Naturally, the prophecy about the “Great Calamity” that Rebecca once brought up came to mind in the priestess’s thoughts.
Could this be it?
With these thoughts in mind, Violet made a decision.
“Stop playing around. Let’s deal with this thing. Lives are at stake.”
Through the transmission of soul energy, achieving an effect similar to telepathy over a short distance, Violet utilized one of the basic applications of her newly developed SP powers.
Both winged sisters, who were fiercely attacking the creature in the sky, simultaneously paused in confusion. Subconsciously, they both directed their gazes to the white-robed girl on the ground. Seeing her nod, they understood that the priestess was speaking in their minds.

The incredible abilities of this individual were nothing new to Leila and Rene. They had long become accustomed to such marvels. Without much ado, they promptly followed Violet’s command, abandoning their conservative and cautious tactics and launching a fierce assault!
The monstrous insect was already struggling to hold its ground against the sisters’ initial attacks. If it weren’t for its incredible resilience and astonishing regenerative capabilities, it would have been defeated long ago.
However, facing the full force of two legendary powerhouses, it still had little chance of resistance.
After a few exchanges, it couldn’t withstand their onslaught any longer. It was struck by a meteor with a diameter of over a meter, sent plummeting downwards. Simultaneously, a spear flew from the sky and pierced its body, pinning it to the ground. It writhed like an upside-down turtle, temporarily unable to break free.
Nevertheless, even in this state, Violet could still sense the creature’s vigorous life force.
Not only did it survive, but it was also rapidly recovering.
What exactly was going on?
