บท 362: [362] The difference in their trials.

The figure of a nun was all that was present in these desolate catacombs, Her attire was black as night from what I could see…A rhythmic voice could be heard all around the expanse.

"..."

I stayed silent, ready for anything to come at me but the Nun just continued praying.

'Is that all there is? Or is there something else?'

I wondered if it couldn't be just that…There has to be more to this trial than just killing that thing.

The prayers sounded weird, I'm pretty sure it's a type of mental magic. Thankfully, the [Demonic Embrace] I have on right now is blocking it.

I stayed ready with the Ame-No-Sakahoko and prepared for the worst.

Suddenly, the singing stopped and the atmosphere changed.

I tensed up and pointed my Spear at the woman.

[Demon.]

A voice was heard, coming from all directions.

[The empire…of the goddess will not fall.]

She murmured, and then a Deathly aura exploded from her. I expanded my mana in the form of a shield to protect myself.
