“The native girl disappeared!”

Hawa had disappeared At Noel’s cry, Chi-Woo and everyone turned around, startled Even though Hawa had been inside their foro, she had disappeared without a trace

Noel, who had been looking for Hawa, lowered her gaze after quickly looking around Then her sharp eyes widened in shock; the injured young ht He’d disappeared in less than ten seconds, and there wasn’t even a trace of him left It was at that moment—

“damn it! I have no idea either! This didn’t happen the last time I was here!” Jin-Cheon also desperately tried to maintain his balance

Even in this unexpected situation, Chi-Woo saw Ru Amuh maintain his balance and lifted Abis into the air Chi-Woo shouted, “We have to get out of here!”

Then Chi-Woo, as about to help those eren’t able to get up, felt both of his feet sink into the ground The space around his feet felt suddenly empty, and when he unconsciouslyin the air The expedition members looked down on instinct, and they were all shocked to find the ground —like a round opened up wide and sed the falling expeditionits mouth The area where cracks had opened up returned to its original state Then silence fell upon the land again—as if nothing had happened

Onorables Evelyn Even though she was reborn with the degrading and unjust title, the great whore of Babylon, and was the subject of intense fear and respect as the witch of the Abyss, she had been an ordinary peasant’s daughter when she was alive Evelyn was an innocent country girl as the eldest of six children Her childhood was the very definition of ordinary, spent helping her far medicinal herbs in the h it wasn’t a privileged life like all tenant farmers in any era, Evelyn had been happy However, all that would take a left turn when an unforgettable incident co of the incident cae of 20 She was quite a celebrity by then She was not only fae where she lived, but everyone knew her na natural beauty She greith abundant love and affection froe, and she becarew older

Those who saw her for the first tie blushed and turned into fools whenever they stood in front of her This happened when she was a young girl, and now that she was a woree of influence she had on those around her There were even rue

Then one day, Evelyn drea up, she couldn’t remember the contents of her dream well, but she realized that there was an unknoer deep inside her It was a power that made her whole body feel warained it Even though Evelyn was curious, she suppressed her curiosity; despite being the daughter of an uneducated peasant, she was intelligent

At that time, the place where she lived was under the control of the Babylon Church, which strictly forbade all forms of heresy Moreover, they were in the reat demons who united to invade the nize any except for one God, was already on extreainst heretics Evelyn knew that she shouldn’t recklessly reveal her mysterious power Thus, she didn’t tell anyone or even her fa a normal life

However, an event that forced her to use her power occurred One of her younger brothers went to the one to collect herbs to help his sister, but he picked the wrong place and got bitten by a snake Its venohtly bit by it would only last a few days, and there was no antidote Evelyn’s parents, as well as the whole family, fell into deep sadness and cried their hearts out as the young boy inched closer and closer to death

When Evelyn heard the news and hurried ho Evelyn only hesitated for atoward hi dormant inside her—and a , suddenly looked peaceful The dark spots on his body quickly disappeared, and his breathing became calm

Evelyn explained to her shocked family about her power and firmly asked them to keep this a secret However, once revealed, no secret could be kept forever The youngest’s mouth was the source of trouble and the reason why Evelyn’s poas revealed to the world Was it because they were not as smart as Evelyn? Or because they were too soft-hearted? The youngest could not turn a blind eye to their friend as crying every day because of their father’s worsening illness When a couple of villagers ca man on their backs, Evelyn immediately had a hunch that someone had told them about her power

Their fareat deal of attention froer brother had survived a bite froers No norance and tried to avoid them, it was useless After their repeated requests, appeals, and even threats, Evelyn once again used the power she had vowed to never use again The father of her youngest’s friend completely recovered that very day And like this, her secret couldn’t be kept; instead, it spread like wildfire It started with those ere seriously ill in her village, and soon, those froes also ca way after hearing rumors about her

Evelyn didn't discriminate betounds, poisons, or curses Since she could fully heal every patient who visited her for free, it was only natural that ruhts ca into their house Evelyn, who knew this day would come at any time, obediently followed their orders and ith the resolved herself, but the subsequent events betrayed her expectations

“Oh…Ohhh…finally…” The lord, who ruled over the estate, couldn’t suppress his admiration when he saw Evelyn He looked almost awed by her His reverie continued for some time before he uard, Evelyn couldn’t understand his reasoning at all She had used a power unrecognized by the Babylon Church; that alone was a great enough sin to be punished The lord should have infor out about her power, yet he wanted to protect her and take her in

Even if he was a lord, it should have been a very burdensome task to hide a heretic as he’d be punished as an accoo out of his way just to save her? Despite all the thoughts popping up in herwas that there was a way for her to live If she just said yes, she could obtain the protection of a lord And she’d probably live a better life than what awaited the daughter of a tenant farmer

However, Evelyn i herself First, it was due to the bad ru the lord about the occasional disappearance of girls froes Second, she didn’t know exactly why, but thesense of resistance towards the lord Even though she was basically fated to die, she rejected the lord’s offer and went against his will Evelyn thought she would really die noithout being able to escape, but the lord’s behavior betrayed her expectation once again
