Opinions of the Herrscher of Dominance

"So that's how it is. You actually flew all the way from the Far East to Europe to look for traces of the Saint! Great, really great, just like a devout pilgrim!"

In the bright and comfortable cafe, Lily clapped her hands and showed a bright and gentle smile to the reserved Yae Sakura.

Yae Sakura reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth and whispered, "It's nothing..."

"However, the story of the Saint happened more than 500 years ago. It has become an illusory legend. Except for scholars like me who explore the truth of history, most people don't know much about it. If you want to find the traces of the Saint, you may not be able to get what you want by asking everywhere."

"Then what should I do? Please tell me, please!"

Yae Sakura became anxious, and her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up as if she saw hope.

Lily smiled confidently. "I am the expert you need right now, am I not?"

"Then, please help me! I can give you anything. Please tell me where I should go to see the traces left by Kallen?"

"Don't be so exaggerated. I'm going to Vienna for academic exchange. If you believe me, you can go with me. According to my research, the hometown of Saint Kallen is nearby."

"Please let me go with you!"

Yae Sakura immediately stood up and bowed deeply.

Lily smiled even more and gestured for her to sit down.

At this time, the waiter brought the coffee with a bitter aroma.

"Please have it," Lily said, taking a sip of the bitter pure coffee.

Opposite, Yae Sakura also took the coffee, took a sip, frowned slightly, and then drank it expressionlessly.

'The taste buds are normal. Body temperature, breathing, heartbeat, taste, everything is like a real girl, like a real living person. But how did you do it?'

Otto's heart sank, and he couldn't help but think of the resurrection that he had been pursuing for five hundred years.

But he- Ms. Lily quickly calmed down and said with a smile. "But before I leave, I am very curious about the reason why you are pursuing the Saint. I wonder if you can tell me about it?"

"..."

Yae Sakura was silent for a moment. She lowered her head, and her dim eyes were filled with deep sorrow. She said nothing.

After a long time, she softly said, "Sorry."

"It's okay," Otto smiled and replied.

Because he also didn't want to tell anyone about those painful and crazy memories.

"We can book a flight tonight and arrive in Vienna soon. If we leave early tomorrow morning, we should be able to reach our destination at noon. Is this itinerary okay, Miss Yae Sakura?"

"... Please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon!"

Yae Sakura paused for a moment, as if she remembered something. She pursed her lips, held the hilt of her sword, and hurriedly left the cafe.

She followed the route she took when she encountered the gangsters yesterday and rushed into a tavern where the smell of blood had not yet dissipated.

"It's you! The devil from yesterday! What do you want to do?"

"Money. Enough to buy a plane ticket. Give it to me."

Yae Sakura slowly pulled out the black sword of Jizo Mitama and said indifferently.

Half an hour later, she returned to the cafe with a box of banknotes.

"Miss Lily, this is the money for the plane ticket, please."

"Well, actually, it doesn't need so much."

Lily's mouth twitched, watching Yae Sakura open the box with a serious expression, revealing a whole box of banknotes.

'You really lack common sense. Taking out something like this is proof that you are a very suspicious person. Besides, you need a passport to book a flight. But it's also true that it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable and unaware after sleeping for five hundred years and returning to the human world.'

'It's a pity that I didn't see her take action, and I don't know if that sword is the already forged Key of Corruption?'

Lily glanced at the sword in Yae Sakura's hand with a little regret and then took the money without changing her expression.

...

That night, Otto prepared everything and flew to Vienna with Yae Sakura.

Then there was accommodation.

That night, Yae Sakura did not sleep but just sat in the hotel room, holding the sword, showing her eagerness to restrain herself and her uncontrollable anxiety.

Otto did not sleep either but was in the room downstairs, watching Yae Sakura through the surveillance screen until dawn. When they met again on the first floor of the hotel, Yae Sakura couldn't help asking:

"Miss Lily, when are we leaving?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't go in the near future."

"Why!?"

"The Saint's hometown is in that direction, in the abandoned town of Kolostein, dozens of kilometers away from the outskirts of the city. However, the road there is blocked by the Honkai Beast, so we may have to wait until it is dealt with before we can go." Lily said calmly and with a little regret.

Yae Sakura was silent for a moment. Then, she held the sword and walked out in the direction Lily had just pointed.

"Miss Yae Sakura, you..."

Before she finished speaking, Yae Sakura's figure had disappeared in front of Lily.

A moment later, the dignified and elegant Mrs. Green Lily took off her disguise, and standing in the hotel lobby was only the Archbishop Otto with a calm expression.

"Durandal, observe and then test her. Don't use heavy hands, she may not be an enemy."

"Yes, Bishop!"

Hearing the response from his capable subordinate in the headset, Otto felt relieved.

If it is the owner of the Key of Corruption, the only one who can be used is the loyal and powerful Durandal. As for his other subordinates or the any Machine, it is too easy to fail against it.

...

'He wants to test me!'

'It's normal. He must confirm your identity and ability before he can take off the mask and negotiate with you. This is Otto's style.'

'The identity problem should not be a big deal. He will not think that someone will use things related to Kallen to target him. In this case, your preparations along the way will be flawless.'

'The ability of Jizo Mitama must be exposed to him, and the strength must be shown as much as possible, so that you are qualified to talk. The question now is, who will he arrange?'

'Stan reported that Durandal left the headquarters two days ago.'

Yae Sakura was speeding on the road, and she was sure in her heart. This is an old friend.

The literary drama has come to an end here, and next, it is a pure martial arts drama.

"Roar——"

The huge Honkai beast took rumbling steps, shaking the earth, and wreaked havoc in front.

Yae Sakura suddenly accelerated and grasped the hilt of the blade.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

There is nothing to say. At her level, chariots, knights, or Honkai emperors are all the same, and they can be cut in half with one stroke. The first few giant Honkai beasts collapsed with a bang.

Then, Yae Sakura slowly put away the blade behind the beasts.

At the same time, thick black mist emerged from the wounds of the giant beasts, devouring their bodies like countless flying insects, and quickly spread to the surroundings, drowning the remaining small Honkai beasts that had not yet dispersed.

The dark fog enveloped the area for several miles, and the shrill and terrified roars of beasts rose and fell. But soon, the fog dissipated like the morning mist under the sun, and hundreds of Honkai beasts disappeared without a trace.

"Huh——"

Yae Sakura let out a breath, started, and continued to move forward.
