Therefore, Capeline was speechless, unable to respond.
As for Shien, he didn’t really intend to push the blame onto Capeline and make her a scapegoat.
However, he still wanted to vent some anger for Diere.
Moreover, since Capeline didn’t get along with his wife, Shien didn’t want to give her any face.
“Anyway, I’ve said my piece. You’d better not go in.” Shien said frankly. “Of course, if you want to court death, that’s your business.”
Shien came to warn them, not wanting to involve innocent people, because he was the one who had weakened Lilith’s seal, causing this evil aura to appear.
But if they didn’t heed his warning, Shien wouldn’t go out of his way to protect them.
“Your lives are your own. Make your own choices.”
With that, Shien ignored everyone and turned to face the land of evil ahead.
“Viscount Buztout.”
“Shien.”
Yuri and Lim seemed to want to say something.
However, Shien was no longer in the mood to play with them. He waved at them, then drew the Holy Sword from his waist and slowly walked into the evil aura.
Soon, Shien’s figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other.
“…Let’s go, follow him.”
Capeline was silent for a moment, then spoke without hesitation.
She wouldn’t be intimidated by Shien’s warning.
“Yes!”
The female knights also didn’t want to heed Shien’s advice and responded loudly.
Naturally, the same thing happened on the First Knight Order’s side.
“Trying to scare us? Does he really think he’s someone important?”
Sona scoffed at Shien’s warning.
Yuri and Lim didn’t say anything, but they clearly didn’t believe Shien’s words.
“Let’s go in.”
Yuri ordered as if nothing had happened.
The two knight orders followed their original plan. One deployed a mobile barrier, the other collectively drank magic potions, and then they marched into the land of evil.
This would be the beginning of hell.
…
On the other side, as soon as Shien entered the evil aura, he immediately used a skill on himself.
“[Clear Mind, Still Water].”
This was the skill Shien had acquired earlier to counter Nien’s mind-reading ability.
Using this skill to eliminate distractions and enter a state of tranquility, Shien’s mind and spirit instantly stabilized.
With the help of this skill, the negative emotions that had been stirring within him immediately subsided.
“As expected, this skill is very effective against mental abilities.”
Shien felt relieved.
Since his maxed-out [Abnormal Status Resistance] didn’t seem to be enough to completely resist the evil god’s power, Shien had to rely on other means to prevent himself from going insane.
After all, Shien didn’t want to become a berserker who only knew how to go crazy and bite people.
“Fortunately, this skill is useful. Otherwise, I would have to unseal the Holy Sword and use its power to negate the effects of the negative status.”
Shien muttered to himself and began to walk forward.
Within the evil aura, visibility was extremely low. It was practically pitch black.
The evil aura was like a dense black fog, blocking more than ninety percent of his vision, making Shien feel like he was groping around in the dark.
“[Bestow: X-Ray Vision].”
Shien couldn’t help but use magic, bestowing the ability to see through objects upon his eyes.
This ability allowed Shien’s vision to penetrate various obstacles. Not only black fog, but even walls couldn’t block his sight.
This magic was one of the first Bestowal Magic spells Shien had learned.
As for the reason… ahem, everyone understood.
Since such magic with clear criminal intent was strictly prohibited by various countries, Shien didn’t dare to use it in public normally.
But now, Shien wanted to use this magic for the right reasons. Since there was no one around, he didn’t have to be sneaky.
Shien’s vision finally penetrated the black fog, allowing him to clearly see the scene within the evil aura.
However, upon seeing this, Shien’s expression changed.
He discovered several dark figures silently approaching him.
And his perception skills didn’t react at all.
“Are my perception skills being interfered with by the evil aura and rendered useless?”
Shien instantly understood the reason.
At the same time, the figures lunged at him.
