The larger wall that I created was too much for the corruption energy to completely wrap around at its current level of power.
But the fact that a larger wall had appeared seemed to incite the corruption energy.
It seemed to be gathering even more as it prepared for another assault.
It was to the point where it was even shrinking back as if it was compressing itself.
With the way that the corruption energy moved, it was almost as if it had a will of its own.
However, it was just too slow in gathering itself.
After all, it wasn't as if I was the only person that was here. There were others that were also here with me.
With a single thought, there was a mist that suddenly appeared in the air. That mist quickly spread out and went over to where the corruption energy was.
The moment that the mist made contact with the corruption energy, it immediately started to purify the corruption energy that it made contact with. With this corruption energy being purified, there was another reaction that came from it.
The corruption energy had been gathering itself, compressing itself to make itself stronger. But with the concentration lowered because of the purifying mist, it was as if it wasn't able to hold itself together.
During this time, I didn't waste my chance as I created even more walls.
With Joan lifting me up, I was actually able to see quite far and see just how wide the spread of the corruption energy was.
So using the wall that I already created as a base, I was able to create a giant wall of earth that completely surrounded the area that the corruption energy was in. With the way that the giant wall wrapped around the area filled with corruption energy, it really seemed like there was nowhere for it to run.
It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the corruption energy would be purified by the mist.
However, I wasn't just going to let this corruption energy have the chance to gather itself again. It might do something during this time and regain its power, so it was better to take it out in one blow.
That meant that it was time for Joan to make her move.
While floating there high up in the sky, there was a shining mark that appeared on her forehead. The light of this shining mark went from her forehead down to her mouth.
The light that flowed down seemed to be gathering inside of her mouth, just like the flames that she normally gathered.
Only it seemed that it wasn't flames that were gathering in her mouth. It seemed like there was something completely different that was gathering there.
Once she finished gathering that light, Joan lowered her head and pointed it at the ground just like she would shoot out flames. And when she did this, there were flames that came out of her mouth.
Those that saw this couldn't help being caught off guard and looking a bit worried about this. After all, these flames looked like they would destroy everything that the corruption energy had wrapped itself around.
But in the end, that didn't happen.
When these glowing flames made contact with the corruption energy, the corruption energy was the only thing that was destroyed. The glowing flames seemed to purify the corruption energy and the corruption energy alone.
Even though the flames covered these things, it didn't seem like they made contact with them at all.
It was as if these were ghost flames that just couldn't make contact with these things.
While Joan had been shooting out her flames, there were people that suddenly arrived.
The moment that they arrived, they all had stunned looks on their faces while watching her release these flames.
And when they finally came back from their shock, Chris said, "Holy flames…Is it a holy beast?"
All of the others slowly looked at Chris with the same shocked looks on their faces, but none of them seemed to be able to deny what he was saying. After all, they could feel the divine energy that was coming from Joan as she released this flame breath.
They knew that unless one was connected to the gods in some way, it would be impossible for them to release this kind of divine energy.
So Joan had to be connected to the gods in some way.
A holy beast was the perfect explanation of this.
After all, the holy beasts were the apostles of the gods that were sent down from the heavens to carry out their wills.
Once they came to this conclusion, there were some people that even started bowing their heads to Joan.
That made me feel awkward since I was still on Joan's head.
With the way that they bowed, it almost seemed like they were bowing to me instead of Joan…
I really didn't know how to feel about this since these were high ranking priests and holy knights from the Holy Empire.
If someone else were to see this, there was no doubt that rumours that weren't as kind would start spreading. It was just a good thing that everyone that was here was someone that could be trusted not to spread these rumours.
After releasing these flames for a while, Joan finally stopped.
That was because all of the corruption energy that had been trapped by the earth walls had been burnt to nothingness.
After she stopped, I patted her on the head and said, "Go over there and take a look."
Joan nodded without even asking me where I wanted to go.
She had also seen it while we had been flying above the area covered in corruption energy.
All of the corruption energy that had been there had been gathering in a single spot.
That was the center of the mass of corruption energy and where the thing that was controlling it was.
