I find it very sacred to pick someone up and make them a saint.

Considering that Lane has maintained a youthful appearance throughout his life, and his strong support for Rachel during this time,

Mien kept exploring the possibilities in this direction.

Everything seemed to be clear now, and the question of Ryan's motives was answered.

This is his unconventional reason for helping Rachel.

This conjecture sent a chill down Mien's spine.

He subconsciously felt fortunate for his firm decision not to be tied to Rachel.

If that's really the case.

So does that mean Rachel will be sacrificed sooner or later? And what kind of fate awaits those who follow her?

However, at the same time, speculation is still just speculation.

Based on the assumption that it is true, more doubts arise.

Where in this world can you find something like "body possession"?

Mien had studied magic and arcane arts across the continent for decades and had never heard of any similar power or method.

Even if Lyont tried to rewrite history or do everything in his power to conceal it, his methods were ultimately limited.

It's impossible that there were no related records or magical techniques throughout the entire history of the continent.

"impossible."

This is the conclusion that Mien reached after years of research into the energy laws of this other world.

She's way too overmodeled; she doesn't fit the skill level here at all.

Furthermore, if it were truly a case of possession, Lyant wouldn't need to expend so much energy.

Whether it's actively helping Rachel or staying behind the scenes to influence the entire political landscape.

More questions than before surfaced in my mind.

But after a brief period of mental confusion, Mien quickly calmed down.

A resolute determination flashed in his eyes.

It's like a sixth sense developed through years of practice.

"By delving into the Life Cult of the Severn Empire, one can know everything."

For no reason at all, Mien's gaze was drawn infinitely forward.

"Popeye, can we go any faster?" Mien said calmly.

"If possible, please use all your strength. We need to rejoin the advance troops as soon as possible."

Poppy nodded in surprise: "Of course, Lord Mien."

Under her command, the entire Silver Moon Knight squad unleashed their unique rush formation, with each member summoning a wisp of silvery-white magic to adjust their formation.

They connected to form a sharper, silvery-white moonlight, surrounding Mien and Lucia at the very center, and then sped forward, almost twice as fast as before.

Seeing this, Mien still shook his head:

"We need to go even faster."

If enemies attack on the road, ignore them if possible. There's no need to kill them. I need you to charge with all your might, understand?

Under his command, everyone burned with life force, moving like streaks of light through the remaining battlefield in Maple Valley.

Mien also said to Lucia:

"Lua, are you ready?"

Without saying anything more, Lucia paused, then nodded firmly.

She understood that, just like in Valgon, after the disaster struck, it was time for her to step in.

I was also mentally prepared to fight tooth and nail for it.

His knuckles turned white as he gripped the dagger tightly in his arms.

Just half an hour later, they had already approached the vanguard at the very front.

They then left the lowest point of Maple Valley and came to the uphill slope that was close to the border of the Severn Empire.

Mien could already see Rachel's crimson sword light and Flame's dragon fire spell in the distance.

He used all his strength to extend his magic forward, gradually reaching the front lines of the battlefield.

Her gaze gradually hardened; the situation was far more complex than Rachel had made it out to be.

As they charged forward, one powerful enemy after another from the Sestan Empire appeared.

They also displayed extraordinary abilities, using various unexpected methods to stop the advance of the Cassirer Empire's army.

This includes various magical explosives and traps buried along the way, suicide bombing squads, and magical boulders that charge down from higher ground...

Not only do they completely lack martial ethics, but the enemy's abilities should not be underestimated.

The vanguard alone already included five or six Rank 7 superhumans, wielding powerful magical artifacts to hold off Rachel and the others' charge.

Four or five Tier 7 superhumans appeared on the flank, harassing Flami, Neuer, and the others, and interfering with their support.

This number has far exceeded their pre-war expectations.

It's foreseeable that the actual number will be even higher...

Unlike the Cassir Empire, the Cefran Empire did not entirely believe in and study the power of light.

They used all sorts of strange and unusual magic, catching everyone off guard, and many people suffered as a result.

Fortunately, Flami and Sestan are powerful enough to fight them head-on.

However, many ordinary superhumans in the Imperial Army found it difficult to cope after losing the basic skills of [Lightforged Blade] and [Divine Protection].

Ordinary soldiers were like meat grinders, constantly dying and leaving corpses along the way.

This is not the scenario predicted on the sand table at all.

As they delve deeper, the closer they get to the restrictive magic array, the stronger the interference will become.

Mien also successfully discovered its true nature.

The hidden power of the magic array is not forcibly suppressed, but rather it draws upon the fundamental principles of light energy and deepens accordingly.

Then, with complex yet precise energy flow, it perfectly disassembles the operational paths of the two skills, [Lightforged Blade] and [Divine Protection].

It seemed as if he had a deep understanding of their core, even more so than Mien.

Mien knew perfectly well that this was definitely related to Jasper.

Mien couldn't help but sneer: Jasper's ten years in the Severn Empire were truly worthwhile. No wonder he resisted when the Cassirer Empire traded him back.

Thinking of this, Mien also used his mental power to probe Neuer, who was fighting ahead.

Sure enough, although her sword and armor were stained red with blood, and her eyes had turned dark red.

They were killing enemy soldiers with all their might, as if they didn't even care about their own lives.

His face was as cold as ice.

Even with her simple mind, she must have guessed the connection between everything that was happening and her inner demons.

This trip not only failed to sever his inner demons as he had hoped, but instead led him to another extreme.

Mien sighed.

What you can't escape might not be a bad thing.

The next moment, Mien suddenly noticed that three messengers from Rachel's troops were running back at top speed, heading straight for him.

At the same time, Mien also received a message from Rachel:

The members and magic array of the Life Cult have been discovered, and Mien and Lucia are needed to investigate.

The next moment, Mien also personally explored the area not far ahead, which was deep within the Severn Empire.

Many black and gold robes have appeared one after another, casting spells to resist the advance of the Cassir Empire's army.

As a follower of the Mystic Life Cult, the aura of the magic array grew increasingly intense.

With the Silver Moon Knights' rapid advance, the messenger Rachel sent as a precaution was quickly left behind.

Mien responded to Rachel with a telepathic spell and continued on his way.

Soon, Flami and Sestan came into view.

They also saw Mien and the others, casting longing glances at them from afar.
