Her meaning was simple.
“Use the power of the Holy Sword to cut open this seal… right?”
Shien said, and Beatrice nodded in response.
Was this the reason Beatrice brought him here?
And the Holy Sword could indeed do this.
Among the Holy Sword’s effects was the description: “Purifies and dispels evil forces.”
Shien didn’t know if the seal before him counted as an evil force, but it was definitely a negative state.
Therefore, using the power of the Holy Sword might be able to purify or dispel this negative state, breaking the seal.
At the very least, using the power of the Holy Sword would greatly enhance Shien’s strength, even doubling his skill levels.
This way, if Shien used his limit-breaking [Demon Sword] to strike the seal, he might be able to break it.
At least, Shien didn’t feel like he couldn’t break it.
He had a strange intuition that this so-called seal couldn’t hinder him.
Even without the Holy Sword, it would be the same.
Whether Beatrice knew this or not, she stared intently at Shien, seeming to plead and convey something.
“Alright.”
Shien sighed again.
Originally, Shien was hesitant.
He didn’t know who the girl in the seal was, who Beatrice was, and why one was sealed while the other was thrown to him by a group of magical lifeforms. ṛаƝȱBЁȘ
There were still many mysteries. Even with his thick skin, Shien didn’t want to act rashly.
But it was just unwillingness, not fear.
In other words, if it was truly necessary, Shien wouldn’t hesitate.
“If I really cause trouble, then let’s make a big scene.”
Having made up his mind, Shien patted Beatrice’s head and spoke softly.
“Step back first.”
Hearing this, Beatrice’s eyes lit up. She nodded repeatedly and stepped away from Shien.
Shien turned to the crystal mountain before him and drew the Holy Sword from his waist.
He didn’t unseal the Holy Sword.
“I have a feeling that this crystal seal won’t be too difficult for me.”
Shien didn’t know why he felt this way.
However, he chose to trust his intuition and took a deep breath.
“Alright!”
With determination in his heart, Shien raised the Holy Sword high towards the crystal mountain before him.
The next second, Shien swung the Holy Sword down.
At this moment, a flurry of footsteps sounded from the entrance of the hall, and a group of beastmen rushed in.
They weren’t the beastmen priests guarding the temple, but a group of beastmen priests who were clearly of higher status, with more refined attire and imposing aura.
At the forefront of this group of beastmen priests, a fox-girl exclaimed,
“No!”
A panicked cry came from her mouth.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
“Clang!”
The Holy Sword in Shien’s hand transformed into a flash of light, slashing through the entire crystal mountain.
The crystal mountain trembled.
A clean cut appeared on it, splitting it in two as the upper half slid down, separating from the lower half.
“Boom!”
From the shattered crystal, a terrifying surge of magic power erupted.
Bathed in this magic power, Shien’s breath hitched. He was about to retreat when a shocking wave of hostility washed over him.
“Roarrr!”
A furious roar reverberated through the hall, causing Shien’s eyes to narrow. He abruptly turned around.
There, a werewolf, roaring angrily, rushed towards Shien like a storm, raising his fist to strike Shien’s head.
“Boom—!”
