Miss Witch's Devotion Has Gone… Twisted-Chapter 199: The Eyeless

"A pleasure to finally meet you, Master Mentor."

The moment the Eyeless spoke, Laila and Anna aimed their weapons at him. Movila wanted to summon crows, but Loren stopped her with a hand gesture.

He could be certain that this Eyeless had been underground the whole time and was unaware of what happened on the surface. Therefore, he hadn't witnessed Movila's splitting scene; at most, he probably thought Loren kept a lot of crows.

He didn't know about the witches by Loren's side. As long as this fact remained undiscovered, there was still room for negotiation.

If their identities as witches were truly exposed, the only thing Loren could do was break all ties with the Church.

"I am here representing the Bountiful Church to investigate the evil god. Is the Church of Confusion here to help?

"Your reach is a bit too long, isn't it? We are the farthest apart from each other."

On the surface, Loren was condemning him, but he was also giving him a way out. If he truly admitted he was also here to investigate the evil god, placing himself in opposition to the evil god, then Loren could pretend nothing happened. After returning, he would report everything to the Bountiful Church, and then the conflict between Loren and the God of Happiness would become a conflict between the Bountiful Church and the Church of Confusion.

Subsequently, Loren could beautifully fade into the background and watch from the sidelines.

"We have traveled thousands of miles to the territory of the God of Bountiful Harvest, all for you. We hope you can come to the Church of Confusion to instruct us."

However, the Eyeless did not follow Loren's lead. Instead, he extended an invitation to Loren.

"Pathetic. Saying the Church of Confusion needs me is as laughable as the King of Anselm needing a guillotine.

"What could I possibly do at the Church of Confusion? Incite the Followers of Confusion to rebel?"

The Eyeless expressed hostility towards Loren, and Loren didn't humor him either, firing back directly.

"In any case, we hope you will return with me. We hope you will agree,"

As he spoke, the Eyeless took a few steps forward, the threat in his words quite obvious.

Loren laughed in anger. This was the first Divine Envoy who dared to threaten him. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

True to their name, the Eyeless were short-sighted, acting without considering consequences, blindly obedient.

"I agree, my ass! Throat-Severing Slash!"

A flash of blade light. The Eyeless retreated just in time. The Requiem blade grazed past his neck without actually injuring him.

The Eyeless couldn't see, but their perception was sharp. It was normal for him to dodge Loren's attack in advance.

"Master Mentor, you directly killed a Divine Envoy. Is that... okay?"

Movila voiced her doubt. In her understanding, Divine Envoys were powerful; a single Scarecrow could wipe out an entire village.

"I killed the Divine Envoy?"

Hearing Movila's words actually made Loren pause for a moment, but then he remembered the blessing upon him: [True Sight Eye].

He immediately understood what was happening. This was the Eyeless interfering with their vision. In their eyes, Loren had already killed the Eyeless. The Eyeless wanted to use this method to make Loren lower his guard, then launch a sneak attack.

These abilities had no effect on Loren whatsoever. [True Sight Eye] not only prevented Loren's perception from being affected but also granted him the ability to see through falsehoods.

"Let's hurry back and report everything that happened here to the Bountiful Church. This is not something we can handle."

The Eyeless dared to attack Loren because he truly believed Loren was a powerless mentor. So, what Loren needed to do was continue feigning weakness, simultaneously indicating his vision had been interfered with by the Eyeless and emphasizing his own frailty, making the Eyeless continue to lower his guard.

Sure enough, upon hearing Loren's words, he made his move. His hand slowly reached towards Loren's head.

"Throat-Severing Slash! Deathly Silence!"

The sudden slash directly decapitated the Eyeless. After his head fell from his body, it looked even less like a head. None of the Divine Envoys looked remotely human.

"He was too arrogant. If he had endured for a while, regrouped with others, and then attacked us, we really wouldn't have been able to deal with him so easily."

Loren sheathed his blade and led everyone out of the tunnel.

The Blind Eye was still on Loren. This item only contained some of the God of Confusion's power; it didn't have a tracking effect. Loren simply kept it on him.

Using this thing, Loren could also wield some of the God of Confusion's power. At the very least, it could be used to craft some items.

"Let's hurry back... As long as we can return to the territory of the God of Bountiful Harvest, everything will be fine.

"I actually didn't want to fight the Eyeless. Although their intelligence isn't high, they have many methods. Aside from the God of Dreams, the God of Confusion has the most bizarre methods."

Perhaps these methods weren't overwhelmingly powerful, but they were hard to guard against. Unless absolutely necessary, Loren didn't want to provoke them.

"Hmm..."

Loren noticed Movila's mood was very low, and he could roughly guess the reason.

The reason they were now in this predicament was because they went back to the village with her to check the situation, which led to encountering the God of Happiness and being targeted by the Church of Confusion behind the God of Happiness.

"Even if we've offended the God of Confusion in advance, it doesn't matter. We'll kill all the gods someday anyway; it's just a matter of time sooner or later."

Loren stroked Movila's hair, offering a comforting word.

Moreover, Movila had indeed saved Loren once. Although even if he had been attacked by the Pseudohuman disguised as Pastus, he wouldn't have been seriously injured, Movila still helped Loren significantly, especially since she even risked complete annihilation at that time.

"Hmm."

Movila responded, though it was unclear if she took it to heart.

"Master Mentor, we found nothing above ground, except for some corpses of sacrificial offerings..."

While reporting, Anna's mood wasn't very high. By now, she was seeing this insane world more and more clearly.

"The God of Happiness is backed by the Church of Confusion. The Church of Confusion is dangerous. Let's head back first."

Loren also briefly explained the situation, while also hoisting Scarlett, who was curled up in a corner, over his shoulder. Simultaneously, Starnight landed on Loren's head.

From the time they arrived here to resolving the situation, not much time had passed. If Loren left quickly, by the time the Church of Confusion realized what happened here, they would already be safe.

"Get in the carriage!"

Loren stuffed Scarlett into the carriage compartment and sat in the driver's seat himself. The two Magical Beasts pulling the carriage had been obediently waiting here this whole time. On the ground were remnants of some meaty bones—feed Loren had given them earlier. These horse-shaped Magical Beasts liked to eat raw meat.

"Did the feed we prepare come with bones?"

Loren took a closer look and noticed it seemed to be a human leg bone. However, Loren didn't pay it much mind, assuming the two Magical Beasts had casually gnawed on a corpse. With so many dead people here, it wasn't strange.
