Between the hidden secret passages of the Baker mansion.
Cass and the others were descending at a fast pace.
Already the sounds of a fierce fight could be faintly heard coming from the deepest depths.
"It's been over an hour! The battle actually continues...is the target this strong?"
Celeste, who had been given the title [Knight of Punishment], could be located in the upper tier area of an ordinary knight... an enemy that could put her in a bitter battle, even if it was an ordinary creature outside the city walls, couldn't do it.
The target was bound to be extraordinary.
"As soon as we find out that the Celeste Knights are at a disadvantage and that it's difficult for us to help, we'll immediately try to contact the Knights outside."
Sophia, who was on the same team, was incredibly nervous, silently praying for her sister's safety.
Celeste was a true knight, stronger than them by several levels in every aspect.
The [Seed] inside her head had sprouted and grown into a unique talent tree.
If they couldn't even deal with Celeste, they couldn't imagine how strong their enemies were.
"Eh? The sounds of battle are gone?"
Just as the three men happened to descend into the cavern, the sounds of battle came to an abrupt end.
The sudden silence, which made Cass nervous and the inner layer of the armor he wore was already covered in cold sweat...the battle was over, but the outcome was unknown.
If Celeste was defeated, the three would die once they were deep in the cave.
"Fia, Coslin you stay behind me! As soon as you discover that the evil object is still present, flee this place immediately."
The three of them slowly delved behind the hidden stone pillars of the visible 'Ritual Formation'.
The scene that came into their eyes shook the trio all over.
The boulder hanging in Cass' heart was lowered.
The disgusting tentacles scattered everywhere, the
The black sludge that spilled over the ground.
A male skull crushed by a heavy hammer.
The [Fallen Baker] had been killed.
Celeste's physical energy was depleted, supporting herself with her light shield and kneeling on one knee... the disciplinary divine energy stored in her head was almost completely depleted in this battle.
It would take her at least ten days, if not more, before she would be able to recover.
Han Dong pretended to be in extreme distress as he sat in the mud, his eyes dull.
Fia shouted out in worry.
"Don't come over yet, the target is dead, but the 'contaminants' have not been completely removed yet.
You three hurry up there and tell the Church to come clean up the contamination. Tell them that the remnants of the contamination that need to be cleaned up are from creatures from outside the city, and tell them to bring plenty of tools."
"It really is an out-of-town creature!!!"
Cass was about to leave, but then looked worriedly at Han Dong in the middle of the mud and asked urgently, "Do we need to bring Friend Andeva back to the church to be purified?"
Celeste replied, "No... you guys hurry up and get someone, I'll handle this mysterious apprentice's business."
Since Celeste had said so, Cass could only follow the search order and return immediately with his teammates.
Up the secret staircase, Cass' eyes were filled with confusion.
"Why was Friend Andeva at the center of the battle with the 'creatures outside the city'?
And, judging from the contaminants he's covered in, he seems to be involved in this battle with the creatures outside the city..."
Fia, who was on the other side, immediately put forward her opinion, "Impossible... this is a creature from outside the city, the trainee knight will be doomed just by looking at it from a distance, how can it fight head-on!
Andeva was supposed to arrive on the scene at the end of the battle, and my sister intentionally left him behind, intending to purify his body of the contamination on the spot before it was too late."
Cass did not comment.
He had always believed that Han Dong was somehow different, and might have actually assisted Celeste in fighting the creatures outside the city together.
"Anyway, let's report back to the church first, it's good that friend Andeva is fine."
Celeste, who was gradually regaining her physical strength, gazed at Han Dong, who was covered in mud and even had two broken tentacles on top of his head.
"Your [Rank], is higher than this creature from outside the city... There are things about you that I can consider 'keeping secret'.
However, in order to ensure the safety of the Holy City, I have to take you to the Mysterious Courtyard to hear Mr. Black and White's opinion.
If the Raven Prophet is aware of your situation and verbally determines that you are harmless, I will naturally bury this matter forever."
Celeste wasn't good at expressing gratitude.
Without all that Han Dong had done in this incident, the end would have corresponded to her death.
However, gratitude was gratitude.
The reason the knight existed was to defend the Holy City and to fight for the freedom of all mankind.
While Han Dong's performance in the present moment was harmless, it couldn't be concluded that he was truly harmless to the entire Holy City... Thus, as a Knight, Celeste had to confirm this.
"You can...just say it directly here."
Han Dong unfolded the mysterious scroll that Mr. Black and White had given him earlier on the spot.
Dozens of crows immediately flew out from the center of the scroll and hovered at low altitude, pecking at filthy tentacles on the ground with their black beaks.
Within a short period of time, they ate all the contaminants cleanly.
The group of crows then converged at the center and transformed into a mysterious man wearing a black mask, a black suit, and a black crutch.
"Raven Prophet!!!" Celeste even bowed her head.
"Well, I was going to directly tamper with and hide your memories.
Since you're willing to 'keep it a secret' is naturally the best... After all, erased memories may also be recovered through special means, and it isn't absolutely safe."
Celeste nodded to confirm.
"As long as the Raven Prophet agrees with you, it's no problem... I'll keep this a secret! The killing of the creatures outside the city will be all on my shoulders, not his."
"By the way, does the "Great Plague Chief" know about this?"
"There is no need for the Head to worry about such matters... This student matter is under my sole control."
The conversation ended.
Mr. Black and White turned into a raven again, returning to the scroll and vanishing into thin air.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps was heard from between the stairs, and the church handler was about to arrive.
Celeste immediately got up and purified the filthy residue stained on the surface of Han Dong's body with the Holy Light Technique... Then, she took the initiative to lift Han Dong up from the ground.
"Kid, give me your contact information."
It was the first time in Han Dong's life that he was asked for his contact information by the opposite sex.
Celeste blushed every time she uttered such grateful words...it had to do with her own self-esteem.
Celeste quickly returned to her original arrogant appearance.
"Alright, you don't have to say anything when the church personnel arrive at the cave later! I will take you directly back to the academy so that you will not be exposed by them taking you to the church for baptism."
With Celeste's help, Han Dong left the mansion while boarding the train back to the school.
The [London Street Ghost Incident] came to a perfect end.
