Chapter 145: A Rising Star in the Academic World
Holy Spirit Festival Day, Southeastern Major Diocese, Cathedral.
Three hundred years ago, the Empire launched a war against the Islander Nation. When the overall situation was already beyond saving, the Islander royal family chose to flee before the royal capital fell.
The remaining priests of the Earth Mother Goddess Church of the Islander Nation fell into madness. In the temple of the Earth Mother Goddess, they relied on the evil relic of Moilai to conduct a grand sacrifice, attempting to summon a portion of the sealed flesh buried beneath the earth.
This ritual caused the entire royal capital of the Islander Nation to undergo Labyrinthization. The ground collapsed everywhere, revealing bottomless tunnels, and countless high-level Magical Beasts surged out from them. There were even multiple Fifth-Level Magical Beasts.
On that day, hell descended upon the human world. The overwhelming tide of Magical Beasts first slaughtered the remaining Islanders in the city, and then the Imperial army that had just reached the city walls became the next victims.
As the ritual progressed, the range of the Labyrinth continued expanding. Mana spread like a tsunami, and the ever-increasing Magical Beasts began spreading into surrounding regions. No one could predict how far this Abyssal disaster would extend.
At the critical moment, Saint Astarte stepped forward. Resolutely, he led the Church’s elite forces into the tide of Magical Beasts and charged into the Islander royal capital that had fallen into a Labyrinth.
In the end, the Labyrinth was successfully sealed, but none of the heroes survived.
After the Labyrinth’s Mana calmed, the Imperial army cleared out the remaining Magical Beasts and liberated this land.
