Chapter 1444: Chapter 105: The Statue Opened Its Eyes

The Governor was indeed a female Elf, her right half-face still quite beautiful, but the left half-face and neck destroyed that beauty, with a series of bulges covering all her exposed skin, some of which were ulcerated, while others were just bulges, reminding Anthony immediately of Xi.

The ulcerated ones were external injuries, easy to heal, but the intact bulges were not, they were skin mutations. These skin mutations had become fixed and become part of the body; the Healing Spell could only heal the bulges.

Meaning, even if you cut off the bulges, they would grow back after treatment because for the body, the bulges are normal. This kind of thing that can mutate normal skin, Healing Spell can’t heal, it can only be dealt with by the Goddess of Beauty Fist.

The Governor’s expression darkened, she wrapped herself back in the blanket, becoming entirely despondent: “Don’t bother with me, just let me die.”

The Great Speaker ‘angrily’ said: “I knew you couldn’t do it.”

“Who are you saying can’t do it? I mean this illness I can’t handle, it requires the Lord himself to come.” Anthony replied.

“You yourself said the Lord of Light has fallen, that means no one can handle it, don’t even mention the Lord of Life, I know very well whether that guy can handle it or not, you’re just a liar.” The Great Speaker ‘angrily’ said.

Anthony scoffed: “Hmph, you probably don’t know yet, I am also the spokesperson for the Goddess of Beauty, my Lord’s Divine Power is boundless, ever-changing, the Power of Light can also manifest the power of the Goddess of Beauty, look at this ugly woman.”

Saying this, Anthony grabbed the Maid named Erik, he could guess why the Great Speaker suddenly became ‘angry’, this guy was clearly shirking his responsibility.

He brought Anthony here, raised the Governor’s hopes, then said it wasn’t possible letting the Governor down into despair, he was afraid of being blamed, so subconsciously wanted to shift the blame to Anthony.

This kind of behavior shouldn’t appear in someone like the Great Speaker, probably the Governor was raised by him since she was young, treated like a daughter or granddaughter, afraid of being blamed so he acted this way.

Ugly woman? Erik, who was at first indifferent, was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened looking at Anthony as her anger surged, did he just call her ugly?

However, before she could react, Anthony summoned the Holy Light and wiped it on her face, rubbing a few times, saying: “How’s the power of the Goddess of Beauty?”

Erik couldn’t even be angry anymore, she hurriedly touched her own face, and at the touch of her fingertips felt something unusual, why was it so tender?

“Hey, it’s a lot more beautiful, can the Power of Light also be used for beauty? That’s amazing.” The Great Speaker was also surprised, Erik’s skin obviously became whiter and softer, and the acne marks on her face also disappeared, the change was very noticeable.

Erik touched her face in disbelief, even the Great Speaker said so, did she really become beautiful? However, she didn’t quite trust men’s judgment, and subconsciously looked towards the Governor.

The Governor, who had already become despondent, wrapped herself up in the blanket again, driven by curiosity by the Great Speaker’s words, she peeked over here under the blanket, and after seeing the changes in Erik, she couldn’t help but ‘exclaim’ too.

Wrapped in the blanket, the Governor walked over, touched Erik’s face, and asked in a trembling voice: “Can the Goddess of Beauty really cure my disease?”

“Of course, my Lord’s might, even if you only had a strand of hair left, could still bring you back.” Anthony said with a face of ‘devotion’.

The Governor gritted her teeth, saying: “I believe you, do I need to make any preparations?”

Anthony ‘awkwardly’ looked towards the Great Speaker: “You don’t need to make any preparations, but to use my Lord’s might, the power consumption will be massive…”

The Governor looked pitifully at the Great Speaker, who furrowed his brows: “You’ve emphasized the compensation and the consumption many times, are you afraid I can’t pay? What do you really want?”

Anthony said: “Chaos Mist.”

“Hiss–no wonder, you really have a big appetite, why would you think I have Chaos Mist?” The Great Speaker gasped.

“You are the Great Speaker of the Divine Light Alliance, if you don’t have it, then I’ll just have to find someone else.” Anthony shrugged.

Everyone understood the subtext Anthony implied: If you don’t have it, I’ll just have to find someone else, to heal someone else, then it won’t be possible to heal you.

The Great Speaker looked somewhat conflicted at the Governor.

Anthony quickly upped the ante: “And also heal all those injured by the Light Disaster, besides those with this kind of mutation.”

The Great Speaker gritted his teeth and waved his hand agitatedly: “Alright, alright, heal her first.”

Anthony nodded, turned to the Governor and asked, “What is your name?”

The Governor replied, “My name is Leia.”

“Don’t move, Leia.” After instructing her, Anthony inwardly cried out: Lord, help me!

The Divine Soul projected over, Anthony reached out and pulled a shadowy figure from Leia’s body, punched it, and sent the shadow back.

Having cleared the mutations, what remained were external injuries; a Healing Spell smoothed the swellings on Governor Leia’s face visibly, halted the festering, promoted healing, scabbing, and falling off.

There would typically be some scab marks left, but as the surrounding skin turned white, those marks became less noticeable.

Governor Leia touched her smooth face and started to cry silently, she would rather die than live on, unwilling to survive hideously disfigured.

“This child…” The Great Speaker sighed and shook his head, then turned to Anthony and said, “Come with me.”

As Anthony was about to follow him out, he felt a tug on his arm, and Erik squeezed out a smile, pulling on Anthony and said, “Lord, I am an ugly woman, could you give me a punch too?”

Being called ugly meant nothing if she could become beautiful.

Anthony kindly nodded and punched Erik right in the eye socket, then slipped away amidst her cry of pain.

This time, the Great Speaker walked a bit further, leading Anthony through twists and turns, down away from the ‘tabletop’, arriving at the edge of a vertical pit.

Winds howled out from the pit, dry and piercing.

The Great Speaker jumped right in, and Anthony followed, descending hundreds of meters. As they neared the bottom, Anthony began to feel his body stiffen.

Wind stiffening? Creatures in the Resting Abyss often suffer from a condition called wind stiffening, caused by the toughening of skin due to exposure to the Resting Wind – the wind in this pit was no less forbidding.

Of course, such damage could no longer affect Anthony; he had dozens of ways to mitigate the effects, smoothly reaching the bottom without any fuss.

At the bottom of the pit was a thick layer of Breathing Soil, stepping on it felt like stepping into volcanic ash, but this ‘ash’ was heavy, not lifted even by the fierce winds.

There were also several horizontal passages at the bottom, some of which were wind tunnels, but one had no wind; the Great Speaker led Anthony into this windless passage.

As they entered this passage, the sound of the wind immediately decreased, and the Great Speaker led Anthony into a vast space.

This space was filled with various statues, each connected by thick ropes, lifelike in appearance, differing forms, and dynamic poses as if they were living beings instantly petrified.

As they walked, the Great Speaker asked, “Who are you all really? Knowing about the Chaos Mist, your Master God is certainly not a fallen deity.”

Anthony didn’t quite catch what the Great Speaker said because his attention was captured by the statues around him, closely examining a shield warrior statue.

This shield warrior seemed familiar to Anthony, similar to one he had seen in Orgal.

Just as he scrutinized the statue, it suddenly opened its eyes.
