Chapter 369: Misunderstanding

Chapter 369: Misunderstanding

Watching Savinia feign the demeanor of a weeping little girl, save for her head which remained human.

Levi could feel not a shred of cuteness or coquetry.

This was simply too creepy.

Seeing this scene in the middle of the night, one would likely be scared to death.

In the darkness, the wailing of a child echoed; drawing near revealed a skeletal frame crowned with a perfectly normal human head.

Just thinking about it made one's hair stand on end.

Levi helplessly said, "Alright, alright, I admit I wrongly accused you."

At this point, Levi realized that the Legendary Lich, Savinia, and others had no intention of using him to get the Goddess's Tear.

From beginning to end, everything he suspected was just his own paranoia.

The actions of the Legendary Lich and Savinia were all aimed at helping him obtain the Goddess's Tear.

But unfortunately, he had let everyone down.

If he had dared to be a bit bolder.

Perhaps he would have already left Storm City with the Goddess's Tear.

Of course, the more likely outcome was being caught red-handed by the Temple of Light, branded a heretic, and killed on the spot.

Now, the only thing Levi could confirm was... the Legendary Lich wanted him to resurrect the Little Bone Dragon.

Why did the Legendary Lich insist on resurrecting the Little Bone Dragon?

Levi wasn't quite clear on the reason either.

Was it to verify and test the feasibility of the Impure World Reincarnation ritual?

Savinia's mind moved slightly, sensing something approaching, so she stopped her cute act.

She turned her gaze toward the wall beside her.

A white ghost floated out from inside the wall.

"Elizabeth?" Savinia called out.

The white ghost transformed into the image of a woman draped in a white sheet.

Elizabeth was one of Savinia's companions.

She was a ghost-form undead.

Levi turned his head to look, not particularly surprised.

Previously, he had already seen the ghost formed by Elizabeth.

Elizabeth seemed to possess the ability to split herself.

It was precisely because of this ability that she could find Levi, and Savinia could find Levi.

Elizabeth said, "I found where the Goddess's Tear is located. As a ghost, I cannot approach it closely; leave the rest to you."

Upon hearing this, Savinia's face showed a look of surprise and joy.

She embraced Elizabeth, incessantly nuzzling the ghostly form that felt soft and spongy like an air balloon.

"Elizabeth, you are truly amazing."

Elizabeth directly phased through Savinia's body, unwilling to cuddle with her.

Usually, it didn't matter.

This skull body picked up from somewhere was still stained, its bones sharp enough to hurt, making the embrace utterly unpleasant.

Elizabeth looked at Savinia with disdain.

She was fastidious.

Savinia clearly hadn't realized this, yet she still wanted to continue hugging Elizabeth.

Bang!

Savinia bumped her head straight into the wall.

"Ouch!"

Savinia held her head.

Elizabeth passed through the other side of the wall and looked at Levi, saying, "I will take you there."

"Mm, thank you," Levi said.

The two walked towards the direction where the Goddess's Tear was located.

Savinia held her head for a long time before realizing what happened.

She hurriedly chased after them, shouting, "Wait for me! Don't walk so fast, my body can't run quickly."

Clatter-clatter-clatter!

Hearing the sound of bone friction coming from behind, Levi's eye twitched.

He feared Savinia's body might fall apart while running.

He certainly wouldn't go carrying Savinia's head.

Letting her roll away on her own would suffice.

Not long after, Levi arrived at the rooftop of a house.

Elizabeth hid inside the house, afraid to come out and sunbathe.

For a ghost of her level, it was no longer instant death upon seeing light.

Yet, sunlight still rendered her deeply uncomfortable, and her power would be somewhat diminished.

Elizabeth hid in the shadow beneath Levi's feet, saying, "The Goddess's Tear is right ahead; I cannot get any closer, the power of the Goddess's Tear will purify ghosts."

Levi nodded and said, "Mm, I understand."

Elizabeth reminded, "There are many people around; they seem to have come for the Goddess's Tear as well, be careful."

"Thanks for the reminder."

Actually, Elizabeth's reminder was unnecessary, as Levi's spiritual power had already perceived the surroundings.

His spiritual perception range reached a width of five hundred meters.

Almost no one nearby could escape his perception range.

However, some methods could still evade large-scale spiritual perception.

Such as stealth and invisibility techniques used by Assassin class practitioners.

Savinia stayed in the alley below the house.

Hearing Elizabeth's voice, she said, "Shall I go draw their fire? I am best at fighting multiple opponents at once.

Taking on a hundred alone, easily done."

"I guarantee those men won't be able to straighten their legs."

Savinia declared with unwavering confidence.

Levi: "..."

He sensed a distinct ambiguity in her words.

Was he perhaps overthinking things?

Shaking his head, he declined, "You had best refrain from acting; otherwise, before the target is eliminated, you will draw the attention of the Church of Light first."

The capabilities Savinia had exhibited during the miracle ceremony remained vivid in Levi's memory.

He truly dared not allow her to act rashly.

Her powers were both wide-ranging and indiscriminate.

With no distinction between friend or foe.

Levi cast his gaze toward the distance, his eyes flickering slightly.

"They have made their move."

A vast mob encircled a small courtyard, and those within clearly understood their precarious situation.

Utterly on guard, every door and window was barred tight, offering no sliver of opportunity for outsiders to spy within.

It is always the ranged specialists who strike first.

Over a dozen marksmen unleashed the combat technique "Rain of Arrows".

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!

A thick volley of arrows soared toward the courtyard.

Hundreds, even thousands of shafts, utterly magnificent.

Thump-thump-thump!

In the twinkling of an eye, the entire courtyard was carpeted in arrows, as if grass had sprouted instantly.

Just as the second volley of arrows was about to descend, the occupants inside could no longer remain seated.

Allowing such archery assault to continue meant eventual exhaustion and death.

The opposition expended merely a few thousand arrows.

Crash!

A knight armored in heavy plate crashed through the door, charging forth ahead of all others.

Initiating a charge against the assembly outside.

Boom-boom-boom!

In a split second, countless spells rained down upon the knight.

Even a knight possessing formidable defense struggled to withstand the concentrated fire.

Nearly executed in a single blow.

A streak of blue light shot from within the house, alighting upon the grievously wounded knight.

In the blink of an eye, the mortally wounded knight was restored to full vitality.

His wounds were healed, yet his armor and shield remained shattered.

Defense severely diminished, yet at least he weathered the initial assault.

Securing a fleeting moment for his comrades to attempt a breakout.

From a distance, Levi watched as blue lights continuously fell upon the knight, who revived to full health each time.

Surprise flashed across his features.

"Is this the power of the Goddess's Tear?"

Truly akin to an immortal body!

The besieging crowd also grasped the core issue, all turning their gaze to find the healer.

Upon looking, the one healing the knight was neither priest nor mage, but a berserker!

Berserker Healer!
