Swish!

A powerful gust of wind swept through, firing a beam of golden light that snapped a large tree outside the tribe. Oliver immediately sensed something was off—it must be a Holy Light Blast. He could view Evelria's stats and skills through his system, making him familiar with her abilities.

[Evelria: Lv38 | Species: Human | Occupation: Holy Nun | Title: Servant of God, Holy Body, Monster Hunter, Hero | HP: 309 | Strength: 98 | Defense: 107 | Skills: Holy Light Blast, Holy Light Defense, Divine Healing, Holy Scripture Cage, Blessing of the Lord | Equipment: Low-level Holy Magic Book | Combat: 500]

As a healer, she wasn't particularly strong, but her holy magic could take down several high-tier goblins in her full state. Now, however, she had become little more than a loyal pet to the goblins.

Oliver flipped to the page in the Holy Magic Book that detailed the Holy Scripture Cage. As Evelria read the strange symbols aloud, a golden orb of light flew from the book, transforming into a cross-shaped construct that embedded itself into the ground.

"Now, that's more like it," Oliver said with a satisfied grin. With this spell, capturing the Giant Hammer Goblin would be easy. First, though, he needed to gather a large amount of paralysis poison. Once captured, they would flood him with the toxin until even his resistance broke.

Meanwhile, Goblin Crazy and the others had lost interest in tormenting Lowell. Finally, given a brief respite, Lowell felt like death would be a relief. If it weren't for the hope that the Sword Saint and the royal family would come to rescue him, he would have bitten his tongue and ended it already.

"Evelria, you recovered? Quick, kill that goblin! Use your magic to heal my body! Now!" Lowell screamed, his entire body trembling with rage, his eyes bloodshot.

But Evelria only glanced at him briefly, as though she didn't recognize him. Then, curling up at Oliver's feet, she began to sleep, her pale and beautiful body exposed.

"W-what is this?" Lowell's breath caught in his throat. He couldn't believe his eyes. Evelria, a holy nun, had become nothing more than the goblin's pet?!

"This is absurd!"

Oliver smirked at Lowell's reaction. "What's there to be confused about? She's willingly submitted to me. She's my obedient pet now."

"You're dead, goblin!!" Lowell roared. "Do you even realize what you've done?! Evelria is the daughter of a bishop in the Holy Church! She's chosen to serve God, a child of the Holy Mother Mary! You don't understand the fury of the Holy Church! A lowly goblin like you could never bear the wrath they will bring upon you! Even the Lionheart Empire defers to the Holy Church, and yet you dare—HAHAHA!"

Lowell's laughter grew maniacal. He didn't know whether to laugh or rage. Evelria's status was higher than his own; that's why he'd only dared to touch her, never force her. She represented divinity.

If goblins merely killed her, it would be seen as a simple skirmish between humans and monsters. Even if she were defiled, it could still be excused—it was just goblins, after all. But now? A goblin had tamed her and turned her into a compliant servant. This was a direct insult to God, a declaration of war against divinity itself!

"This act of yours will ensure the complete annihilation of your entire race!" Lowell shouted.

Oliver raised an eyebrow. "Why can't a goblin have her? Is she reserved only for God? Does that mean goblins can't have gods?"

Lowell spat in disgust. "A filthy, lowly creature like you dares compare itself to the Holy Church's God? You exist only to be slaughtered by humans!"

Oliver sighed, then gestured to Goblin Crazy. "Are you and the others getting tired? Why is this fool still talking?"
