The battle priestess was shocked to hear his demonic voice resonating with the chaotic neutral energy.

However, before she could complete her offensive spell, Hiro's lips moved.

Purgatory Domain!

A torrent of demonic energy, like a pillar of darkness, climbed to the sky from Hiro's body.

With a strand of faith energy imbued within the darkness, it quickly expanded into a dome that covered the sky and the ground.

The priestess looked up in shock. The all-consuming darkness isolated them from the outside world.

Not only that, she also felt that her mysterious connection with her Lords was being interfered with. As a result, she lost control over the star of divine energy in the sky.

Buzz!

Her energy went out of control for a split second, but that split second was enough to cost her the standoff with Hiro.

Capitalizing on her weakness, Hiro roared with pure menace, black hellfire exploding on his skeletal wings. With a flap, his momentum burst, the force of his slash tipping the balance of power.

Bang!

The battle priestess was alarmed. "Not good!"

She felt a tearing force acting on her muscles, and the soles of her feet went numb for a split second. Then, the force swept through her entire body, sending her flying.

The golden spear kept buzzing in midair as the conduit to the overwhelming clash between the two forces, and before the momentum could wear off, Hiro reached out to grab the spear.

Hiss!

The direct contact with the divine energy burned his palm, and the demonic energy was growing restless.

Hiro gnashed his teeth, squeezing the spear hard. Gluttony!

As Hiro shouted in his heart, a great suction force worked on the spear, drawing divine energy into Hiro's body.

The light-attributed energy was stored in his body, while the faith energy was stripped away and channeled to his pocket dimension through a mysterious connection.

Hiro's eyes gleamed with joy. As expected, I can increase faith energy this way, there is no need to worry about populating the Unfathomable Domain!

Boom!

After flying away for a few seconds, the battle priestess finally crashed into the barrier of the purgatory's domain. Vast swaths of demonic energy flooded her body, and since it was tainted with faith energy, her divine energy protection had no way of stopping it.

Crackling noises sounded as the bones in her body gave way under the pressure.

Pffft!

The battle priestess spat out a mouthful of dark blood, but she persisted and gritted her teeth. "You will die a HORRIBLE death!"

After she shouted, the energy in her body started going out of control, fluctuating violently.

Hiro had just finished absorbing the faith energy when he noticed this, and his expression changed.

Hindering faith energy was something, but cutting off the flow of faith energy was something else altogether!

In such a destitute place like this crumbling dimension, a sudden loss of a source of faith energy would most likely draw the attention of some Lesser Deities.

As Hiro's mind spun rapidly, he had an idea.

He canceled the synchronization, and before the battle priestess could notice that something was off, he used his lightning elements to form a massive lightning sword.

Hiro had to brun through a lot of energy to create a single large sword with the Infinite Sword Matrix, and he had to make appear as though the sword attacked from the outside.

Boom!

The battle priestess looked up in shock.

Then, she saw a massive construct of pale blue lightning piercing through the darkness.

Then, before she decided to self-detonate, lightning bolts exploded in all directions.

Still, in the cosmetics of the demonic creature, Hiro strained his vocal cords and let out a long, unwilling howl before having the Purgatory Domain implode onto itself.

Sensing the impending catastrophe, the battle priestess wasn't at all worried.

In any case, she was already prepared to sacrifice herself for the cause of her Lords.

She closed her eyes and waited for death as explosions rocked the world all around her.

Then, when the dust settled, she was a little surprised. Slowly, she opened her eyes, and in the distance, she saw a young man in casual clothes and a black windbreaker.

By him on either side was a small lightning sword, and they were spinning like crazy while emitting a threatening aura.

She could tell that this was a high level of sorcery, but she couldn't recognize this man.

Pfft!

The demonic energy in her body acted up again, and she fell to her knees with a thud.

The holy armor on her body was riddled with holes, and her helmet cracked before breaking down.

Beneath it was a small round face and short black hair. This girl had an ordinary, girl-next-door appearance, but it couldn't suppress her valiant aura.

It seemed like the young man noticed her as he looked over. Her first thought was that he was incredibly handsome.

As for Hiro, he was stunned.

Are you kidding me?

[Notice: Berlin has triggered the 10% chance of love at first sight!]

Hiro was flabbergasted for a long, long moment.

These sanctimonious nuns can fall in love as well? Is the trick to triggering this chance related to how hard I beat wo-… Cough! Cough! Let's not go down that rabbit hole!

These random thoughts can get me into real trouble in my previous life!

…

Nonetheless, Hiro's body was quickly engulfed with wind magic, and he swiftly moved over to Berlin's side.

Berlin was feeling flustered for some unknown reason, and she shouted anxiously in warning, "Don't come closer! I'm infected with this unholy power!"

Hiro didn't mind. With a smile, he waved his hand, a powerful suction force acting up on Berlin's body.

Then, with a tinge of discomfort, Berlin felt the demonic energy in her body growing restless before getting sucked away.

A swirling ball of miasma, which was in fact demonic energy, clustered above Hiro's palm before crimson-hot flames burned it to a wisp of smoke.

Then, Hiro waved his other hand, a green halo of gentle energy suffusing Berlin's body, seeping into her muscles and bones before slowly healing her.

Berlin was stunned.

Lightning attribute, wind attribute, fire attribute, and nature attribute? Is this guy a walking incarnation of the five elements?

Hiro wanted to clean her up with the water magic, but he felt like it would be inappropriate to do that. Thus, he cleared his throat and turned around.

"That Great Demon has escaped. Even though he had expended a lot of his energy, I still couldn't make him stay. Sigh." Hiro sounded very disappointed.

Berlin snapped back to her senses.

"Don't overthink it," she shook her head to clear away all distracting thoughts before she slowly stood up. "It's already good enough that he was heavily exhausted, don't beat yourself up over it."

Hiro blinked. Hm? Why is she so different from how Jessica acted? Do different girls have different means of expressing their feelings?

Hiro was deep in thought. This is something worth researching. In the future, I can't take a girl's actions and words at face value.

Look at this girl, I already know that she's head over heels for me; it's practically a done deal, yet she's acting all aloof, high, and mighty.

Berlin ignored her fiercely beating heart with supreme willpower, her gaze landing on the spear in the center of the battlefield.

Her expression immediately turned ugly.

Hiro followed her gaze, then he felt a little awkward. That weapon was drained dry from all divine powers by him, so it turned into no more than a scrap of metal at this point.

Using the system's treasure-scanning function, Hiro realized that this girl wasn't carrying any other treasures on her body.

Thinking about it, she most likely engaged him with the resolution to die in battle, so she probably sent away all her treasures with that group of priests and nuns.

Hiro checked his current achievement points.

From approximately 15,000 points, he was down to 12,540 points.

Thinking about it, I haven't exchanged for things like weapons and armor from my system shop. Hiro suddenly realized.

Weapons can greatly enhance a person's battle prowess, especially when they can store faith energy.

Even his servants had their personal weapons, but all he had were cosmetic items without any effects whatsoever.

"That's your weapon?" Hiro asked, as he didn't want to act suspiciously.

"Yes," Berlin furrowed her brows. "I don't have any other items on me, and my companions had already left."

After responding, Berlin was shocked.

Why did I answer so readily? No, I need to work on my willpower when I come back, how can my emotions be swayed so easily? Even if he saved my life, it shouldn't be like this!

"Oh, by the way, my name is Hiro. Since we're both exploring alone at the moment, why don't we join hands?" Hiro naturally extended his hand for a handshake.

"Oh, okay… Berlin…" Berlin reached out to hold his hand in a daze. Then, after a moment of being stunned, she withdrew her hand as though she had just dipped it in burning lava.

"How can you touch a woman so casually?!" Berlin shouted in shame and anger, feeling defiled.

What's wrong with my head? What happened to me all of a sudden?!

She felt like beating someone up.
