“I will be using that power.”

Cale could not get himself to call the Fire of Destruction the power of a god.

– …Cheer up, Cale.

He did his best to ignore the Super Rock consoling him. Cale just thought about it in a relaxed manner.

‘I’ll be leaving this world anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether they see me as the purifier or whatever.

I just need to take care of things properly.’

Cale decided to think about it as lightheartedly as possible.

– Human, that expression just now seemed more like the crown prince’s expression than your usual smile!

He did his best to let Raon’s comment in one ear and out the other.

He spoke to Olivia instead.

“I will let you know the overall plan, so I hope that you can move accordingly, your Royal Highness.”

“…Okay.”

Olivia had noticed how the Purifier was reluctant to show himself. She knew how big it was that he had chosen to reveal himself.

That was why she was willing to move according to his will.

She was willing to do so even though she was not fully recovered.

“And there is something we must do during this next week.”

Olivia’s shoulders tensed after hearing the Purifier’s solemn voice.

“What is it?”

She then thought about what would happen at the public execution ground in a week.

It was different from her original imagination.

The Agents of Destruction and the Church of the Fire of Purification… The Purifier revealing himself in between them…

Olivia and the people loyal to her would be with them.

How would that crazed sight she had initially imagined change?

She got chills for a completely different reason now.

‘I’ll do it.’

She made up her mind.

‘I’ll do whatever it takes.’

She would do anything for the image in her mind to become reality.

The Purifier started to speak.

“We need to loot the Emperor’s Palace.”

Silence filled the area for a moment.

“…….”

Olivia could not say anything.

– Human, I knew that you wouldn’t waste your time! Yes, a week is plenty of time to loot the Emperor’s Palace! Alright! How exciting! Will we all be going?

Cale focused not on the excited Raon but the silent Olivia’s shaking pupils before wondering why she was reacting like this and continuing to speak.

“Do you remember the information that the First Imperial Prince shared with us?”

“Ah.”

Olivia’s expression finally brightened after hearing that.

“You are talking about the issue of the undeads!”

“…Y, yes?”

Cale had an unsettled look on his face as he agreed with the now exaggeratedly bright expression on Olivia’s face.
