Too ugly?
This reason caused Leo's and Thomas's expressions to darken instantly.
With their status, no one in the Kingdom of Morden had ever dared to say such a thing to their faces. After all, with their strength, anyone who appeared before them showed only respect.
With just one sentence, Olivia had provoked their resentment.
"Nun, do you have any idea you're bringing shame to the Church? Just because you wear the habit doesn't mean you can do whatever you want or say whatever you please," Leo said, his tone extremely hostile.
"Have you gotten so used to playing the bully under the Church's banner that you've actually started thinking you're someone important? Do you think you can offend anyone you like?" Thomas added, cracking his knuckles.
As for the two princes behind them, they both looked at Olivia with strange expressions.
They didn't believe for a second that Olivia actually had a way to beat them. They thought she was merely offending Leo and Thomas, and the final result would certainly not be in her favor.
Even if someone from the Church initiated the offense, they wouldn't have to worry about the Church holding them accountable even if they gave her a lesson.
"You bunch of eyesores, don't you think I can beat you? If you don't think you're about to get thrashed, then follow me."
With that, Olivia walked out of the shop.
Seeing this, Leo and Thomas snorted and followed.
Both held high status and were among the top figures in the Kingdom of Morden. Accustomed to a submissive environment, they had zero tolerance for such provocative behavior.
The group immediately followed behind Olivia.
"Are you looking for a suitable place to beat me? How laughable. I don't think that's necessary at all, because taking you down won't cause much of a stir anyway."
Thomas looked at Olivia's back and gave a cold smile.
He raised his hand, a few cards pinched between his fingers.
Then, with a slight flick of his fingers, a card shot out instantly, rapidly closing in on Olivia.
As the card approached, it suddenly expanded to over two meters in length.
The front of the card depicted a cage, emitting a pulling force clearly intended to suck the target inside and turn them into an image on the card.
In response, magic power surged within Olivia, and a domain was released.
The invisible domain expanded to cover the immediate area.
The rule Olivia established within this domain was that no cards could exist inside it.
The moment the domain formed, the card that had been attempting to pull Olivia in vanished with a soft "pop" where it stood.
Seeing this, Leo's and Thomas's eyes narrowed.
They knew Olivia was a Domainist because the nun habit she wore bore the insignia of an oracle nun.
Only after becoming a Domainist could one hold the position of an oracle nun.
They were surprised that Olivia's domain could eliminate a card so cleanly and decisively.
Although the characteristics of everyone's domains seemed similar, there were actually significant differences; some people's domains were simply much more powerful.
Olivia's ability to use her domain to directly eliminate a Skywalker's card was enough to prove she possessed strength far greater than that of an ordinary Domainist.
"No wonder you dare to challenge us; you do have some skill. But no matter how much skill you have, you're still just a Domainist."
Thomas gave a cold laugh.
Despite his words, Thomas didn't strike again.
He could see that while he could defeat Olivia, doing so without causing a major scene wouldn't be easy. They really did need to change locations.
Not long after, Olivia and the others arrived at a ruined park in the Main District.
This was the surface park of the underground ruins.
It remained unrestored, a scene of desolation, which made it a suitable battlefield.
Seeing Olivia stop, Thomas began to mock her without hesitation.
"As expected of a Domainist—such powerless and troublesome creatures. You have to find a specific field just to fight. If you were a Skywalker, you could just fly into the sky. How simple that would be."
"It can't be helped, Thomas. This nun can't fly, so we have to accommodate her," Leo added with a mock.
First Prince Stefan and Second Prince Gideon followed behind.
Second Prince Gideon immediately said, "This nun actually dared to call us ugly. You two should give her a good lesson and let her know that some things shouldn't be said lightly. She's just a nun from the Church; she doesn't have the right to say whatever she wants and offend whoever she pleases."
Mirabelle also followed, her expression filled with hesitation as she watched the scene.
She asked in her heart.
"Grandma Arilla, is it really okay for Olivia to face two Skywalkers? Even if she is the Protagonist of the Era, she's going up against two Skywalkers."
Although Arilla had described the power of a Protagonist of the Era to her, without seeing it with her own eyes, Mirabelle couldn't help but feel hesitant.
She hadn't witnessed the prowess of a Protagonist of the Era, but she had seen the strength of a Skywalker. Furthermore, there were two Skywalkers now.
"Just keep watching."
Arilla's mood remained quite stable.
Since Arilla said so, Mirabelle could only continue watching.
After all, she was only a Sensate and couldn't influence anything; she could only observe.
In the clearing, Leo and Thomas looked at Olivia with hostile glares.
"Let me do it. I need to properly educate this person and let her know that just because she's clinging to the Church's coattails doesn't mean she can offend anyone. Besides, we're technically on the Church's side ourselves, so there's no need to fear her background."
It was Thomas speaking again.
With a wave of his hand, card after card shot out, rapidly closing in on Olivia.
As for how Olivia would respond, Thomas had already made his judgment.
He believed she would definitely open her domain again to try and make his cards vanish.
So he was also prepared to open his own domain, waiting only to neutralize Olivia's domain so his cards could continue their path unimpeded.
Under such an onslaught, she would surely be flustered and cut a pathetic figure.
Thomas's plan was wonderful, yet just as his cards neared Olivia, her figure suddenly vanished from where she stood.
