At the Holy Sword adventurer team’s office.

“Lady Swordmistress, are you sure you want to leave the Holy Sword adventurer team and return to the royal city?”

Claude, who had bandages wrapped around his face, was kneeling on the ground with a reluctant expression. Many of the Holy Sword adventurer team members stood behind him, and they all had the same expression.

“Yes, I have already packed my belongings. I will depart the city first thing tomorrow morning. You will be Holy Sword’s Captain, and it is a huge burden on your shoulders. You can’t act foolishly like previously and tarnish the Holy Sword adventurer team’s reputation.”

Christina sat behind a desk with a package beside her. There were not many things in that package. There was only a bag of money and a few sets of clothes. The only thing that attracted attention was a broken sword, which was shining brightly. Even though it was broken, it still gave off an extraordinary aura. It was the Sky Severing Blade.

As she spoke, Christina subconsciously turned her head. Her gaze fell on the Sky Severing Blade beside her, and her eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

That was the second time that her platinum-tier weapon had been broken.

The Sky Severing Blade, known as the kingdom’s strongest offensive weapon, had always been her symbol. She thought that the sword would accompany her to achieve supreme glory, but she finally understood how shallow her thoughts were. A true elite would not rely on weapons. The fact that her sword had been broken twice was proof of that. After she explored the underground city, she understood something important.

‘The strength of an expert does not lie in external objects, but in their body and soul! From now on, I will work hard to become a true expert.’

She did not plan to reforge that sword. Instead, she chose to keep it by her side to alert herself constantly.

“Lady Swordmistress, according to the rumors, the underground maze has begun to evolve after they cleared it. The monster guarding the maze seems to be the black dragon, and some people even saw traces of an angel inside! Many people in the city believed that the legend originated from the ancient godly ruins. It had regained its vitality because someone had cleared it. Danger also means opportunity, but it is too bad that you are leaving, Lady Swordmistress. What a pity! What would the Holy Sword adventurer team do without you?”

“Opportunity is different for everyone. That new maze is meaningless to me! As for the Holy Sword adventurer team, I believe in your ability, Claude. I know you will never tarnish the team’s reputation.”

Christina comforted Claude softly as she looked at the other members behind him. Some of them averted their eyes guiltily.

They knew that Christina did not leave because she wanted to study at the Royal Academy. It was because they knew that Watson had created the new Tower of Babel. Those angels were not from the ruins, they were Watson’s subordinates, and the black dragon guarding the maze was his pet. They could not tell anyone about it due to the confidentiality agreement.

In fact, many rumors in the city were created by those who had signed the confidentiality agreement. To prevent information from being leaked, they had deliberately spread it to make everyone think the Tower of Babel was evil. One of the most widely spread versions said that the Tower of Babel was once the residence of the gods, but it had been sealed by a mysterious power, so it had been created as an underground city by the late king.
