Chapter 516: Battle of Nerves (9)
As the sunset painted the sky a crimson hue, the chaos inside the academy had nearly been completely subdued.
Not a single life had been lost. The material damage was minimal. The tainted barrier had been restored to its original state, and the remnants of the evil god’s aura that lingered throughout the academy had also vanished, thanks to Lucy’s magic. There was no longer any room for further chaos to arise, even if someone tried.
“Thank you for your hard work, Saintess.”
After the various procedural matters were completed, the bishop bowed his head, and Feibi slightly curled the corner of her mouth in response.
“The ones who worked hard are the bishop and the other priests, not me. What have I done?”
“Did you not face the evil god of emptiness as the representative of the deity? Despite the exhaustion and fatigue, you kept moving without rest, comforting others, and working alongside the First Queen, handling various aftershocks. How can you say you’ve done nothing?”
The bishop, thinking Feibi was being modest, spoke with a relaxed smile, but Feibi could not bring herself to nod at those words.
She truly believed she had done nothing today.
It was Lucy who had noticed the evil god’s plans. It was Lucy who had prepared for the various contingencies. It was Lucy who had eliminated all the variables in the underground. And it was Lucy who had purified the evil god’s energy.
Feibi herself had only danced on a stage set by the apostle.
