"The final Ascension..."
The crowd didn't understand, and before she could finish, a sudden change occurred.
The flesh on the body of the Heretic Saintess collapsed in an instant, not even granting them time to react.
Lance's body instinctively wanted to move closer, but just as he reached out halfway, the Saintess had already turned into a mummy-like figure, all vitality drained from her flesh.
She had actually sacrificed herself...
Lance's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Despite not holding back, an incident had still occurred.
He didn't know what rite she had completed, but distancing themselves now seemed the best choice.
"Quick, leave!"
Lance's shout snapped Boudica and Amanda to action, quickly increasing the distance between themselves and the corpse.
Alhazred, as someone very sensitive to the Abyss, immediately sensed something. His emotions, which had just calmed down, surged as he let out an exclamation of alarm.
