Chapter 113
The traps in the snow mountains outside of the Sacred Peak Generosus tested the physical strength and ability of those who sought the sacred item.
By breaking through powerful monsters and magic traps, they would be able to prove that they were a chosen hero and a strong individual worthy of the Goddess’s will.
In the sealed area, which was located inside Generosus, all kinds of visions, temptations, and test the spirit and will of the Sacred Heart’s seeker.
Only those who had unshakable beliefs deserved to wield the magnificent power of the holy item.
The place where Han-bin and his party were located was a sealed area inside Generosus.
Originally, all kinds of visions should be testing them.
However, the group was walking in the hallway peacefully.
No mental attack bombarded them.
Awkwardly, Ryu Han-bin approached her.
Kibie raised the Darkness with her hands and spoke.
“Take it, for it is the essence of the holy night and the duty to spread the will of the Goddess to the world.”
“… Do you want to say something?”
“If you were Latnain, you wouldn’t have thought that way.”
The atmosphere had been spoiled.
Kibie shed her eyes.
Indeed, it was also funny to ask Earthlings to worship the Goddesses of Latna.
“Originally, you’d take my last test here, but…”
Quitting the solemn atmosphere, she poked her fingers around the abyss.
“We don’t have time, so let’s just go.”
Han-bin laughed for a moment because he looked like he was ruining something important.
It didn’t feel mythical at all since she looked like she was just pressing the keypads of a cellphone.
It was the process of canceling the last test, so it wasn’t wrong.
After a while, she held out the Sacred Heart.
“Here, take it.”
Ryu Han-bin accepted it without saying a word.
The Darkness rose for a while and before seeping into his palm.
It then completely disappeared.
Han-bin blinked.
“That’s all? I don’t think anything has changed.”
Kibie smiled.
“It’s not over yet.”
That was when it happened.
“Huh?”
Han-bin’s widened.
Something powerful was rising in his body.
“Huh?”
A huge fire erupted through him.
The pillar of fire extended from one end of the abyss to the other, giving off a dazzling glow.
“Ahhhh! What’s this?”
A great power!
An unimaginable amount of energy coiled around his whole body and flooded him with torrents!
The giant warrior roared as the immense energy devoured him.
“Ahhhhhhhh!”

Leon Hart watched everything unfold before him without saying a word.
“…”
He had not responded when Kibie approached the Sacred Heart or when she gave it to Ryu Han-bin.
Leon Hart didn’t dare interrupt.
Everything was clear to him.
“Ahhhhhhhh…”
He realized why Kibie was so confident and that she could prove everything by unlocking the seal.
In contact with Kybriel’s character, the incarnation perfectly revealed its true nature.
And the Knight of Darkness sensed the truth.
“I’m sure you’re right…”
After seeing all of it, there was no denying her.
“Of course, it’s Kybriel…”
Filled with emotions, he trembled as he approached Kibie.
He talked to her with respect and politeness.
“You deserve to be served, for your saints know your incarnation.”
Kibie smirked.
“Now? Isn’t it a little late?”
Leon Hart replied with a big smile.
“You have taught me not to be in awe.”
Despite his politeness, he looked quite relaxed.
He wasn’t surprised in the first place.
He was already expecting it.
He just needed the last conviction.
However, it was clear that he was touched.
“I never imagined that I would have the honor of welcoming the Goddess in this lifetime or the next.”
“I don’t think that’s a big deal. Doesn’t that mean you’re living in an age of ecstasy?”
Looking at Leon Hart with his head lowered, Kibie smiled.
In a peaceful world, there was no reason for the Goddess to be reborn as an incarnation.
She didn’t have to give the world a gift.
Leon Hart lowered his head even more.
“It is an honor to be given the fate to overcome the disturbance.”
At that moment, the brightly shining red pillar slowly began to fade.
At the same time, the universe that covered the entire place disappeared.
The transcendental space was erased, and common stone walls were revealed.
The power of the Sacred Heart had been removed. Hence the entire scenery vanished as well.
Standing in the middle of the stone chamber, Ryu Han-bin looked fatigued.
“Wow, There’s way too much Aura to handle… yuck!”
He then stumbled and knelt.
That was because his injuries hadn’t yet been completely cured.
His body suddenly absorbed a huge amount of energy, causing it to become unstable.
“Oh, my God!”
Leon Hart quickly approached and healed him.
“I’m sorry. Forgive my prudence.”
The power of strong spiritual arts began to erase Han-bin’s wounds at a rapid pace.
He was a level 112 Spiritist.
He could have cured all their injuries if he wanted to.
The only reason he had done only first aid was so he could subdue them in case the worst happened.
Within a few minutes, Ryu Han-bin stabilized.
Looking at his wounds that disappeared without a trace, Han-bin clicked his tongue.
“Hey, having a high-ranking Spiritist is awesome.”
The same went for Kibie and Artis.
“I admire your power.”
He also performed healing on them quickly.
“Darkness of Kybriel, please pour tranquility in my hands.”
That put everyone in perfect condition.
Leon Hart knelt once again in front of Kibie.
“My lord, please order me. A faithful servant only follows.”
“First of all, I’m not the Goddess Kybriel, but the incarnation Kibie. You know that, don’t you?”
There was no way he couldn’t have known the difference between Goddess and incarnation since he was a Templar Head.
“I will show courtesy to you as an incarnation, not as a Goddess.”
Leon Hart immediately changed his tone.
“What do we do now, Kibie?”
“First of all, we should go save our precious ally.”
As if he had been waiting, Leon Hart clenched his fists.
“I’ll help you with all my might.”
The third person to be blessed by the Goddesses, and one of the top three Spiritists in the entire continent, finally joined their party.
Kibie smiled satisfactorily.
