This ti, no one panicked when they saw the flas since they recognized them.
They knew that these were the flas that Joan had released into the ruin entrance that flowed down into the ruins.
However, there were still a few traces of worry that were on their faces when they saw this.
It was impossible for them to be completely alright with being bathed in flas like this, so it was only natural that they would have traces of hesitation when they saw the flas.
At least none of them dodged out of the way like before.
When I saw the flas, I focused on the flow of these flas.
I opened my eyes wide and carefully watched the flas as they flowed past us. I made sure that I was seeing exactly which corridor the flas were flowing down.
When the flas finally disappeared, I pointed in a certain direction and said, "We're heading in that direction."
There were a few strange looks as expected, but the popes didn't seem confused when they saw pointing in this direction. I knew why they were acting this way since when the flas disappeared, I had seen that they were looking in the sa direction as .
"You heard the holy son, move in that direction." The two popes imdiately gave the order to the holy knights and priests.
Even though they seed a bit confused, they still followed this order and started clearing the path in that direction.
I gave a nod of praise when I saw them taking the initiative.
There was a reason why they had been able to beco the popes of the Holy Council. It wasn't as if they had taken the position of pope by luck, they were smart individuals that had reached their position with their abilities.
Though their faith towards the gods also contributed to that.
But still, they weren't completely empty vases.
With the holy knights and priests clearing the way, we quickly moved forward down this corridor until suddenly we ca to a…
"Which way do we go now?" The leader of the holy knights asked as he looked at the three way branching path in front of us.
This was a crossroad with three different paths that were exactly the sa, so it wasn't as if we could just make an educated guess on which way to go. At the sa ti, after we had gotten away from the stairs, there were less and less corridors that were around us.
So even by looking around, we wouldn't be able to find anything.
It didn't seem like there were any clues that would guide us down the right path, but I didn't worry as I looked behind us as if I was waiting for sothing.
The two popes did the sa thing.
Seeing that none of us answered this question, all of the holy knights and priests suddenly turned to look in the sa direction as us. But it was clear by the looks on their faces that they didn't understand what was happening.
The only other person that seed to have a slight understanding was Klein.
He looked like he had an idea, but it wasn't there yet.
After a minute of waiting, the thing that we had been waiting for arrived.
It was another wave of flas.
This wave of flas took longer to reach us compared to before, but it was still going strong. Though if one looked closely, one would be able to see that there were less flas coming towards us.
That didn't matter as I focused on the flow of the flas.
I was looking closely at the flas as they surged forward along with the two popes.
The others could naturally tell that we were looking at the flas, but they didn't seem to figure out what exactly we were looking at.
It didn't take long for the flas to completely surround us once again.
When the flas disappeared, the captain of the holy knights suddenly said, "This way."
I imdiately turned to look at the captain of the holy knights when he said this and found that he was actually going down the right path.
There were so that were still confused, but there were also so that were confidently following the captain of the holy knight.
It seed that they had been able to figure out the flow of the flas as well.
None of the people here were normal people after all.
Those that could beco holy knights and priests were considered the elites of the Holy Empire. Especially when they were holy knights and priests that could follow two of the popes of the Holy Council.
So it was no wonder that they were able to figure out the flow of the flas that easily.
Since they knew the trick, there was no need to continue leading them.
Instead, I started focusing on the corridor that we were in.
I was carefully looking at every part of the corridor, trying to figure out if there was sothing special about this place. Only no matter how I looked at the space around , it didn't seem like there was anything that was different about this place.
It looked like nothing more than normal ruins.
The stone bricks that were around us seed to have so wear and tear to them, but there really wasn't anything off about them.
There were several more crossroads that were in front of us, but each ti we relied on the flas that ca to guide the way. Though as we progressed deeper and deeper into the ruins, it seed that there were less and less flas that were coming from behind us.
Whether it was because the flas couldn't reach this far or if it was because Joan was slowly running out of stamina, it didn't matter.
For now, there were still enough flas that we were able to continue progressing forward.
That was until all of a sudden…
