Chapter 383: Lady Aisha's Incredible Parallel World Journey
Among the existing Campione, there was one whose existence held the most secrets.
She, the girl crowned as Queen of the Bewitching Cave or Queen of the Demon's Cavern—yes, a girl, even though she had been a Campione for over a century, she remained a girl.
Thus, she also had another title Praised as the Eternal Beautiful Maiden—one she emphasized herself.
She was Lady Aisha.
Simultaneously, she was considered by the world as the Campione most capable of causing trouble, the one most likely to create disaster-level catastrophes.
Of course, this didn't mean she acted arbitrarily or recklessly.
On the contrary, this lady was quite kind-hearted, always willing to help others, and was even said to bear the name of a saint.
Then why was this lady considered the most troublesome Campione?
The reason related to one of her Authorities, as well as her somewhat absent-minded personality.
The Authority she possessed allowed her to create a cavern—not just an ordinary cave as the word suggests, but something that could connect to other spaces.
It might connect to the Netherworld, or even the mythological realm, possibly even unknown parallel worlds.
And this cavern, Lady Aisha couldn't freely control it, unable to close it at will. Sometimes she even forgot she had opened such a cavern somewhere.
Thus, people might accidentally be sucked into this cavern and transported to other spaces.
Conversely, some divine beasts or monsters might emerge from this cavern.
That's why Lady Aisha was said to be quite troublesome for others.
"Saint Raffaello, what is this situation?"
A knight addressed a Latin beauty with black hair tied in a ponytail.
"I don't know either, but be careful and seal off this area properly!"
The woman addressed as Saint Raffaello bore the name of a Templar Knight.
After discovering Lady Aisha's cave, they immediately rushed to deal with it, preventing anyone from accidentally wandering in or any creatures emerging from the cave to wreak havoc upon the world.
As it happened, the group that hurried over encountered a monster that had just emerged.
It was a creature with the lower body of a scorpion and the upper body of a traditional demon, complete with demonic wings.
Upon closer inspection, its arms appeared rather peculiar—one resembled a bird's claw, while the other was a beast's claw.
This monster, roughly five meters in size, required tremendous effort to subdue.
According to logic, such a mythical being, once defeated, should have crumbled into sand-like particles. Yet before them lay a bloody corpse.
Moreover, during the battle, the creature did not employ any incantations or special abilities, relying purely on physical violence. Even so, it inflicted considerable hardship.
Correction—the monster did attempt to use some ability, seemingly trying to unleash a beam attack. However, it failed to execute it properly and exploded as if a machine had malfunctioned. The blast was astonishingly powerful, nearly killing several knights.
"I hope that lady will appear soon and seal this cave shut."
Saint Raffaello gazed at the cave isolated by the barrier and sighed. This lady certainly knew how to cause trouble.
A slender yet remarkably curvaceous dark-skinned girl, draped in a white coat, was gazing at the world before her with the wide-eyed curiosity of an infant.
It was a world that felt both familiar and profoundly alien.
The familiarity came from the modern cityscape before her eyes—she had visited such cities before. The strangeness, however, lay in the fact that this city did not belong to her world but was part of another parallel dimension.
This time, after using the Fairy's Corridor, she had unexpectedly arrived in such a world, leaving her utterly astonished.
Shortly after her arrival, the cave entrance had opened in the mountains near the city's outskirts. Unfortunately, she immediately encountered a monster.
Panicked, she tried to activate her Authority to deal with it but found she couldn't use it. Luckily, she managed to lure the monster into the cave she had opened, and it never emerged again.
To make matters worse, with her powers almost entirely unusable, she was no different from an ordinary person, rendering her unable to return through the cave.
But wasn't that strange? Hadn't the monster just gone in?
The cave wasn't on the ground—it hovered at a certain height in the air. And now, indistinguishable from any ordinary girl, how could she possibly reach it?
Moreover, the cave was invisible, as if cloaked, which was why the monster had accidentally stumbled into it.
Thus, Asia, unable to return for the time being, descended the mountain to explore and soon encountered a group of peculiar individuals.
These people were wielding Divine Artifacts to hunt down monsters somewhat similar to the one that had attacked her earlier.
Naturally, she was discovered. Initially, they intended to erase her memories, but a particular action of Asia's led them to mistake her for a nun from the church.
That action was Asia's instinct to heal anyone she saw injured. She attempted to use her Authority for healing, but as mentioned earlier, she could barely harness her powers.
Though her abilities were severely limited, she could still emit a faint, pure energy that seemed to have a slight healing effect.
So, she found herself in an awkward position, only capable of treating minor scrapes at best.
Afterward, she was escorted near the city's church, where she gazed somewhat bewildered yet curiously at this parallel world's city.
She learned it was a parallel world from the people she had met.
In this world, myths also existed, though they differed somewhat from those in her own realm.
Here, the gods of myth frequently descended to the mortal plane, but unlike the Heretic Gods of her world, they did not bring calamity. Instead, they came to cultivate followers.
Additionally, this world had just endured the most devastating world war in its history.
This world war wasn't a conflict among humans but a genuine battle between two worlds: an invasion by Evil Gods and Demon Gods from another dimension, clashing with the local pantheon. In the end, this world achieved a pyrrhic victory.
The monster she had encountered earlier was a chimera created by the traitors among the local gods—led by the Greek God of the Underworld, the rulers of hell. Some of these chimeras had escaped and were currently being hunted down.
"Asia, there's another person here who needs healing."
"Huh?"
Asia responded instinctively.
"Okay."
Another voice also answered.
Huh?
Lady Aisha thought she was being called, but it turned out not to be the case—it was a golden-haired girl with the same name who was being summoned.
