Chapter 1772: This Does Not Stop Me From Killing Him
Irina looked at Josh with a frown. His attitude was a little abnormal.
She could ascertain that he had something to do with the devil, and that relationship was not built after he entered the cave.
If that was the case, why would Josh dare to ask her to use the Holy Light to cleanse him? Ferdinand had become almost a good-for-nothing after being cleansed by the Holy Light, and the damage to his body dealt physically and spiritually could not be healed.
“I know I’m not good enough and not strong enough. I just hope to maintain my innocence.” Josh looked at Irina, and said in a deep and gentle voice, “Come, take it as I’m begging you. Use your Holy Light to cleanse me.”
“Without preemptive caution, even a 10th tier could be easily controlled by this fellow.” Louis looked at Josh, and nodded slightly as he said, “This is a good child. Maybe he was targeted by the devil.”
As someone who had experienced it first-hand, he knew very well how scary the devil’s powers to spiritually control an individual were. Therefore, he thought that Josh’s explanation of being controlled by the devil at that time to cause the Exploding Fireball to diverge was valid.
“That is possible.” Krassu nodded. He looked at Josh. “He shouldn’t be that stupid.”
The two of them basically represented what the others thought.
Josh’s openness won everyone over, and some of them even felt that he was a true hero who was willing to sacrifice himself for justice.
“If you’ve only been bewitched temporarily by the devil, the Holy Light would be of very minute harm to you. It would only dispel the devil aura within you. However, if you’ve exchanged souls with the devil, the Holy Light would rip the devil’s soul out of your soul, and when that happens, you will turn into a dimwit,” Irina said coldly as she looked Josh in the eye.
“I believe I would not become a dimwit,” Josh said with a warm smile as he stood up tall.
“Irina, I’m warning you. If you dare to harm His Highness in any other way during the cleansing, I will never let you off!” Richard shouted as she stared at Irina.
Mag walked out from the corner, and stood beside Irina as he looked at Richard calmly.
The two people standing side by side were very eye-catching.
Many of them had forgotten how suave these two were when they roamed the continent. The Holy Light would guide them to where justice was.
Today, the two of them stood side by side once again, and they were still as dazzling.
Alex did not say anything, but his presence was enough to thrash Richard, who had just warned Irina.
No one was faster than Alex within three meters, and no one could stop him.
Josh’s eyelid twitched. He pressed his lips together, and did not speak further.
“In front of our enemy, we need to have trust in each other. Since Prince Josh is willing to prove his innocence, let’s have Irina use the Holy Light to cleanse him, and the truth will be out.” Michael, as the host, naturally would not let the situation continue growing tense. He calmly said, “At this moment, we have more than 10 10th-tier powerhouses watching to ensure absolute fairness.”
“Please.” Josh took a step forward, and stood with his hands behind him.
“Alright, I’ll do as you wish.” Irina raised her magic caster’s staff, and said in a melodic voice, “Holy Light, please listen to my command, light up the darkness and cleanse all evilness!”
A bright light shot out from the magic caster’s staff, and landed on Josh.
Traces of black devil aura rose from Josh’s head, and were disintegrated by the Holy Light.
However, Josh’s expression remained calm. He merely closed his eyes instinctively, and he did not appear to be in pain.
After less than 10 seconds, the Holy Light had no reaction to Josh.
“There wasn’t much devil aura. I suppose it was from the moment he was controlled,” Douglas said.
The various representatives nodded. From Josh’s expression and the amount of black devil aura, it did seem like what Douglas had said. Josh had not exchanged his soul with the devil. He had merely been controlled by the devil for a short moment.
“Indeed, His Highness is innocent. He’s a victim as well.” Richard and the knight smiled. At the same time, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
“How could this be?!” Irina frowned. However, the Holy Light did not detect any more devil aura from Josh’s body. Although she was bewildered, she had no choice but to retract the Holy Light.
Mag looked intently at Josh. He was not surprised by this result. Since he dared to take the initiative to receive the Holy Light’s cleansing, it meant that he was not afraid of the Holy Light.
After the Holy Light faded away, Josh opened his eyes with a smile, and looked at Irina as he said, “Irina, thank you. I felt as though I’ve been through spiritual cleansing. I do not feel clouded anymore. If you had not found out in time and cleansed me, I’m afraid there would only have been greater trouble.”
“No matter what method you use, this will not end like that.” Irina kept her magic caster’s staff, and turned to walk out of the cave.
Mag left a meaningful smile for Josh, and turned to follow Irina.
“Why did you smile just now?” Irina asked Mag.
“I was just pretending to smile meaningfully. That would often be enough to bring immense pressure to a person.” Mag smiled. “Actually, I have no idea why I smiled.”
“I must have made everyone worried,” Josh said apologetically to the various representatives. He looked at Mag’s back, and felt a little uncomfortable inside.
The smile the other party left behind before leaving made him uneasy, as though Alex had seen through it all. It was as if he had just watched a clown’s pathetic performance. It was driving Josh crazy.
“Prince Josh was not controlled by the devil. This matter will end here. Let’s return to the restaurant to discuss the plan.” After wrapping up the whole episode, Michael led everyone back to the restaurant with the teleportation portal.
“Er… I haven’t showered in days. Can I go back with you?” Babla quickly said. “I have already finished my job. I can’t help with the rest of the things.”
“Of course. You are a hero who has made an outstanding contribution. Follow us back to the restaurant and receive your reward,” Michael said with a nod. He knew very clearly what Babla had done to contribute to the repair of the spell formation.
“In that case, I want to go to the restaurant for a meal and visit my precious disciple,” Krassu said.
“You can’t visit her alone.” Urien followed them out.
“If you’re all leaving, I’m leaving too. The problem will usually always come when a person is left alone. It’s better to leave the spell formation to work on its own.” Novan walked over with a bunch of drafts. He had to make a trip back to the school to see if he could find some useful information in the hidden library.
The teleportation portal lit up, and the cave was soon empty.

“Something is definitely wrong with Josh. His issue is different from Ferdinand and Borg’s.” Irina told Mag, who was putting on his apron, on the second floor of the restaurant.
“He is smart.” Mag, who had already changed into his chef’s suit and apron, looked at Irina with a smile, and said, “But whether he has made a deal with the devil does not stop me from killing him.”
“Your smile is very interesting.”
Irina was slightly stunned. After that, she pinched Mag’s cheek.
