“Soar.”
The girl murmured softly, and a wing-like azure virtual shadow bloomed quietly behind her, boosting her speed by fifty percent with just this halo alone.
But Violet didn’t stop there.
“Divine Wings, full release!”
*Swish, swish, swish!*
Three pairs of six dazzling and pure white wings unfolded simultaneously behind her, their wingspan exceeding even the width of the long stairs themselves.
This skill, evolved from the 【Divine Feather】, inherently enhanced the user’s agility significantly. While in full release state, it caused a drastic increase in MP consumption, but the accompanying amplification effect was akin to a leap in evolution comparable to flight.
“Blessing of the Saint, Melody from the Celestial Symphony, Enlightenment of Insight.”
Another three buffs, ranging from 7th to 9th tier, with acceleration effects applied simultaneously on herself. Violet’s agility attribute in her panel soared rapidly. After the five-fold amplification, it jumped from less than 20,000 initially to a terrifying figure approaching 100,000, even surpassing the speed of a dragon girl warrior in her ordinary state!
This was the terrifying aspect of being a top-tier priestess. Although she didn’t possess strong attack capabilities and appeared slow and fragile based on her attributes alone, in reality, as long as Violet willed it, she could achieve leaps of several orders of magnitude in just a few seconds for any friendly attributes.
Although there were relatively few enhancement skills she could use on herself, and their effects suffered some attenuation, the cumulative effect was still astonishing.
Continuing to cast multiple high-tier magics did not make the priestess feel overwhelmed. The dazzling snow-white six wings behind the girl fluttered more brilliantly than usual, causing a surging wave of energy in the air.
She quickly checked the status on her panel and the speed of MP consumption, a joyful smile appearing at the corner of her lips, welcoming the challenge.
“Alright, let’s go all out in one go!”
Temporarily tucking away the 【Demon God’s Gem】 into her bosom, the girl slightly bent her knees.

*Boom!*
The white remnants streaked like a speeding lightning bolt across the endless long stairs, causing vibrations and thunderous roars akin to a sonic boom due to the incredible speed.
Violet didn’t fly, she continued to run, step by step crossing the countless black stairs. With her full effort in sprinting and skill enhancement, her efficiency was almost a hundred times greater than before. In less than a minute, she crossed another thirty thousand long stairs!
*Tatatatatatatatatata...*
As swift as raindrops, countless footsteps seemed to form a continuous line, resonating an exhilarating melody on the long stairs against the backdrop of the starry sky and the dark night. The six wings behind the girl rhythmically expanded and contracted like breathing, showering countless golden rays, leaving behind a fantastic and splendid tail flame.
The black rifts in the sky continued to expand, already swallowing half of the starry sea in just a few minutes, but Violet’s speed surpassed them!
One hundred thousand stairs! Two hundred thousand stairs! The girl continued to accelerate!
She transformed into a burning golden flame, like a meteor soaring straight into the sky, rising against all odds!
*Crack... crack crack crack...*
The space was collapsing, even the long stairs that Violet had once walked were continuously turning into shattered stones, falling into the abyss of darkness below. But the girl paid no attention, putting all her effort into madly sprinting all the way!
Four hundred thousand, five hundred thousand... nine hundred thousand steps!
Almost there!
It was pitch black, surrounded by iridescent auroras, a divine seat suspended at the top of the stairs, at the end of the sky, like a lonely and proud transcendent being, overlooking the world, the stars, and all things.
At the side of the divine seat, two figures were standing at this moment. Their palms met in the air, a tangible yet intangible sphere of nothingness, rapidly condensing into two streams of energy flowing into the palms of their left and right hands, rapidly shrinking.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine steps!
*Snap!*
Violet took the final step, the shattered steps of ascension vanished into nothingness, falling into the crumbling starry sea. In the heavens and earth, only the hundred meters wide and long ground remained suspended above the starry sky, with the divine seat towering within.
“Hi hi, I’m here!”
Before the words fell, behind the girl, similar in appearance, even the six golden wings behind her resembling each other, the golden spirit had already spread its holy spear, transforming into a blade that seemed ready to cleave the sky, directly slashing towards the formless sphere in the opponent’s hand!
*Tsk!*
The figure with the mask clicked its tongue in irritation, as if a loading bar had been interrupted at 99%. It raised its hand, swiftly pulling the grey-haired girl in front of it to retreat, while the formless light and shadow was mercilessly split in half by the embodiment of light, instantly bursting and disappearing into the void, leaving no trace.
“......”
Dodging the holy spirit’s strike, the two individuals standing hand in hand turned around. The golden flames around them gradually extinguished, and the black-haired girl with six wings exchanged glances in the air.
The figure with long grey hair, reaching down to their waist, and half of their face masked, silently gazed at Miss Priestess for a long time, but gradually smiled.
“Well, it seems the mysterious expert who set out to track us according to the intelligence is none other than yourself. To break through the three questions of the demon gods in such a short time, it seems this young lady’s depth is truly unfathomable... It’s truly fortunate for me to engage with such a strong opponent so quickly.”
“Hmm, you’re quite composed, Silvester Bullwer. I thought you would be more frustrated and angry,” replied the priestess with a mocking smile.
The holy spirit behind her stood down from its attack stance and remained stationary. Although it was their first meeting, Violet had already identified the figure before her, whether from the serpent-shaped mark vaguely visible on the back of their hand or their distinctive appearance.
Upon hearing her words, Silvester seemed somewhat surprised.
“Oh? This name... not many people know it. Where did you hear it from?”
The priestess’s face carried a sarcastic smile.
“Of course I know. After all, there’s someone who always likes to play hide and seek but can’t help but show their tail every time. You should recognize this thing, right?”
As she spoke, Violet took out a peculiarly glowing gem from her embrace, similar in essence to the divine seat beside him, and waved it in front of him.
“Oh... so it fell into the hands of such a strong individual like you. No wonder we couldn’t trace it back...”
Silvester glanced at the Demon God’s Gem, seemingly understanding, but then appeared indifferent, turning to the grey-haired girl beside him.
“Eileen, go and do what you’ve always wanted to do. I’ll handle the enemy.”
Eileen, as she was called, seemed relatively reserved in character. She silently observed the white-robed girl with six wings ahead, showing a hint of perplexity in her soft voice.
“Um... Have I seen you somewhere before? Have you been to the Demon Suppression City in the Human United Kingdom?”
Violet raised an eyebrow slightly, then immediately calmed down as if she suddenly understood, responding calmly with a plain expression.
“Perhaps. I’ve encountered all sorts of creatures in my travels. It’s not uncommon to cross paths occasionally. After all, most are just passersby. If fate allows, we’ll meet again.”
“......”
Faced with this ambiguous response, Eileen remained silent. However, Violet understood very well. During their previous encounter, Miss Priestess wore the 【Cognitive Obstruction Mask】 throughout.
At that time, Eileen was still an ordinary person without the ability to break through the effects of high-level golden spirit equipment. So for her, this was probably indeed their first meeting.
But so what? Whether they knew each other or not, it undoubtedly wouldn’t change what she was about to do next.
Before the conversation could progress, it stalled. Eileen furrowed her brow and eventually looked back at her companion.
“Are you sure about this, Siel? She seems quite formidable, and just now, that final step...”
Before she could finish, Silvester shook his head in disagreement.
“No, the position of the demon god is shifting, this place will collapse, the Illusionary Realm is collapsing, and the world portal is about to connect. The outside world needs you to oversee the big picture. This was a discussed plan. How can we casually change it just because of someone who suddenly appeared out of nowhere?”
“You can rest assured to return to the Demon Suppression City. I’ll handle things here. Even if we’re just half a step away... With the current strength, we’re more than capable of standing above all others.”
