Chapter 2: The Dullahan in Profane Land

As soon as the roster was decided, the strike force immediately hurried north. Holy Tower VII was the northernmost Holy Tower in Wendill, located close to the border with the Torust Empire in the northwest and the Republic of Malka in the northeast—two of the superpowers that encircled the kingdom. In the worst-case scenario, the area that had been reverted to profane land might actually encroach on foreign territory, making this an international problem. This was another reason why the situation had to be resolved with utmost urgency.

As such, to prioritize mobility, Commander Belzen selected fifty calvary. Claire stayed behind at Wendill Palace, while Theodora assumed her role in leading Euphinia and Adel. Since Euphinia was coming, Melulu was as well, as there was no point in having any of her knight escorts stay behind. The group’s foodstuffs and supplies were being carried by Cerberus and Yeti, the giant covered in snow-white fur contracted with Theodora.

The force was rapidly approaching the Tower VII profane area.

From atop Cerberus’s back, Adel asked with concern, “How are you doing? We’ve been having you go nonstop for the past few days and nights.”

“I’m fine. This is nothing more than a good workout. How about you? Keeping a Divine Beast summoned drains you too, doesn’t it?”

“I’m fine as well. It’s tiring, but not too bad.”

Being fatigued after using her powers as a Saint was different from physical exertion, but if she had to describe it somehow, it was akin to continuously going faster than powerwalking but slower than a jog.

From Yeti’s shoulder, Theodora called out, “Adel, if you need to rest, don’t hesitate to say so. The duration that you have kept your Divine Beast summoned already far exceeds what I would expect newly-awakened Saints to maintain.”

In contrast to what she was saying, Theodora herself looked entirely at ease. She was not showing any sign of fatigue at all, and her Divine Beast was having no trouble keeping pace with Cerberus. Their greater experience was evident.

Although Adel was confident she was the best in the world at using ki, she still had a long way to go in developing her abilities as a Saint. Some might think being able to contract a Cerberus was more than impressive enough, but she was comparing herself to Euphinia and Theodora. She doubted she would ever match the former’s Sanctuary range or the latter’s endurance.

“Thank you for your concern, Eminent Theodora. I can still go on.”

“I’ll take your word for it. However, don’t push yourself too much. The real job starts when we reach the profane area.”

Suddenly, the kindly look on Theodora’s face sparked an idea in Adel’s mind. Currently, Euphinia and Melulu had gone scouting ahead, riding Pegasus. The ones riding Cerberus were only Adel and Mash, and Theodora was right next to them. This was the perfect opportunity to broach a subject that had been on Adel’s mind all this time.

“By the way, Eminent, there is a matter I wish to ask you in confidence.
