Chapter 138 – Black Magic.
In an alley somewhere in the city, a light caught the attention of some nearby adventurers. When the three men approached, they found a strange woman with her back to them.
The three men, confused, approached to try to help the woman. They thought the woman needed help, but this was not the case. The woman suddenly turned around and faced the three men.
The three men shivered at the woman's bright, threatening eyes.
"Don't even try to come near me" The three men lost consciousness and fell on top of each other. "Haaa~~ Should I have done that?" The woman sighed and walked out of the alley.
Before she left the alley, her appearance completely changed.
'I told god I would do something, but what should I do?' The woman walked to the town centre to find Luan, who was enjoying the day with Lili. She continued to watch the two from a distance until evening came.
Nothing strange happened until they approached a mysterious tower. The woman knew this tower shouldn't be here, so she frowned. However, she did not approach.
"Luan, wait!" Lili grabbed Luan and pulled him away from the tower. The woman gave a smile watching the scene.
"Lili?"
"Let's go home, please."
"All right, let's go."
The two walked away, and the woman approached. She knew Luan was stubborn and would come back here, so she would take care of it before he came back.
She approached the tower and touched the door to open it, but she felt a sharp pain in her hand. A purple lightning struck her to push her away. The woman looked at her hand and noticed that it was not hurt.
"However, it hurt like hell. Tsk." She clicked her tongue and kicked the door with all her might. However, the door did not move a single centimetre when her foot hit it.
She tried several ways to open the door but could not enter the tower, even using her holy magic.
It was an impenetrable tower, a tower made for her not to be able to enter. And the magic that circled the entire building and protected it was one magic she knew very well.
"Black magic." It was a magic that caused repulsion in holy beings like her. Her stomach had been hurting ever since she had approached this place. However, she could not give up.
She knew that this tower was one of the reasons Luan's system was unavailable. But she didn't know how a simple building could interfere with a system created by God. It simply didn't make sense.
"The tower may not interfere with the system, but I'm sure the person behind it can do that."
To create a building that she couldn't enter even using all her abilities... Only a powerful person could make this. A cold sweat dripped down her pale forehead.
"God, you're seeing this, aren't you? What should we do?"
[ Let's wait a little longer, don't do anything rash ]
"Wait? But Luan is returning to this place later, and if he gets into this tower, I can't help him."
[ You'll be able to get in if I help you. ] She imagined God saying this with a smug smile on his face.
"Okay. Now I'm going to get some rest." After having so much contact with such disgusting magic, she could hardly stand it.

I couldn't hear anything but the sound of metal. And I couldn't see anything but red eyes floating in the darkness. I couldn't locate myself, so I didn't know where to go.
If I went to the right, I might trip over something... And depending on where I went, I might end up being cornered and killed before I could even do anything.
Tsk~~~ I clicked my tongue and decided to move on. In the darkness, guided by the eyes of the armours, I ran towards where there was the least number of them. There were no obstacles; it seemed to be an empty room.
As I approached one of the armours, I felt a shiver. And then I ducked.
I felt something pass over my head. I would probably be killed.
And taking advantage of the fact that I was lowered, I spun my body around with my leg stretched. I felt a sharp pain whenever I hit the armours, but I didn't care.
All the armours around me collapsed. Probably after I ripped off his legs, the armours crumbled. I took this opportunity to run away.
I ran forward toward a dim light that I had seen earlier. I looked back and could see the fierce eyes of the armours. For an instant, I could also see a light, but I ignored it.
I moved closer to the dim light and noticed it was coming from a small crystal on the wall. Without thinking, I touched the crystal. A strong light source appeared in the ceiling as if I had flicked a switch.
I was blinded for a few seconds, and the sound of metal became even more unbearable. It was as if several metal beams were falling on my head. It was impossible not to bring my hands to my ears.
Soon everything went silent. I slowly opened my eyes.
"?!" Standing near several rusty black armours was a beautiful woman with long, red hair. She wore a rather flashy outfit—a white coat with gold details and black pants with several white designs.
She also wore large shiny earrings and light make-up.
"If it weren't for her hideous clothes, she would be more beautiful."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing..."
