Vaguely, her perception seemed to pierce through the surface of the monument, seeing the Fine Craft Church candidate who had just been teleported away.

The Fine Craft Church is renowned for its expertise in various intricate and ingenious engineering works. However, due to its overly complex doctrines and the overly precise yet fragile nature of its products, the number of followers has always been limited.

Nevertheless, the priestesses of this church are adept at repairing all sorts of machinery and even arcane apparatus, and their craftsmanship is well-regarded in the Holy City.

In recent years, even emerging professions like the Arcane Marksman, which value equipment, would go there for advanced studies. Although the church is still small in scale, it already shows signs of rising prominence.

As a representative of the Fine Craft Church, that candidate previously always appeared very calm, showing little emotional change when making vows. This composed mindset is undoubtedly crucial in her daily work.

[The bracelet of the Fine Craft Nun shattered]

But in the Hero's view, the girl had lost her previous calm, watching in panic as the bracelet on her hand gradually disintegrated.

The Fine Craft Nun took several deep breaths and then closed her eyes tightly. Magic Power surged within her as she tried to repair the shackles, but her expression grew more pained under the impact of the curse's power.

Finally, as the bracelet completely shattered, her figure disappeared into the darkness.

Evidently, this candidate, who was quite favored, was thus efficiently and straightforwardly eliminated.

'Rubbish is rubbish.' Another self shook its head disdainfully.

The Hero was slightly regretful about the other's exit but soon noticed the concerned gaze from the Noble Lady behind.

The other candidates who had stepped forward with her were successively being teleported away, yet the Hero stood under the monument for a long time without any movement, naturally attracting concern.

Realizing this, the Hero turned back and showed a reassuring smile to her close friend:

"I'll wait for you over there."

The Hero turned around, looking up.

The height of the Heroic Soul Monument was so vast that its end was out of sight. From this angle, the familiar names were not visible.

The Hero knew that those names were merely simple commemorations. Without the spiritual power coming from the original persons, even the information recorded inside the monument might not be accurate.

Nevertheless, they were indeed recorded here, constantly remembered through the long years.

"Speaking of which, I haven't started the Knight's pilgrimage yet."

Recalling memories that weren't so distant, the Hero murmured to herself.

That was an idea that germinated in the Hero's heart after being bestowed the title of a Noble Lord by the Fourteenth Princess: to roam the Kingdom like an ancient knight, banishing evil and delivering justice.

Originally, under the recommendation of the Border Count, she planned to travel to the Capital for further studies, enhancing her ability to traverse the land before putting it into practice.

However, due to various coincidences, she found herself standing here as a Saintess Candidate.

"But now, it might not be too late, right? It seems like it doesn't conflict with being a Saintess either."

After long contemplation, she arrived at an answer. She hesitated no more, slightly parting her lips.

For those who were buried in their homeland without ever knowing the world's beauty;

For those still plagued by magic disasters at this moment, unaware of what tranquility is;

And for her own longing for the next journey and curiosity about this vast world.

"As a substitute for friends and out of my own desires, I hereby vow.

"——I will step forward and personally see this world."

The next moment, with the bloom of teleportation light, the Hero disappeared from the spot.

For most people, teleportation is a novel and unfamiliar experience, but the Hero was quite seasoned. Finding herself in a pitch-black place after one blink, she calmly raised her hands.

As she had hallucinated earlier, this should be the underground of the Cathedral, a secret church sealing various anomalies and evil existences.

Even though she had already witnessed other candidates' trials and found them devoid of real danger, she still bore the imprint of the Divine Knowledge Saintess on her body.

With a thorough understanding of the entanglements between the two Saintesses, the Hero remained on high alert, awaiting the curse's power to strike.

But, what she worried about did not occur.

In the darkness, a hidden and gloomy invisible force spread out, winding around her wrist and gradually delving deep into her heart.

Although the first round of assessments is strict, it won't endanger lives. The heavily restricted liberation spell can only erode through the oath bracelet that gathered on her hand.

While a broken bracelet would also inflict substantial spiritual damage, all the Saintess Candidates were not fragile, melancholy girls; the fact that they were here as candidates proves they have strong spirits.
