Leaving the dungeon, Richard met with the Red Cardinals of the Miracle Church.
These bishops mostly joined the Order as priests at the beginning of the missionary work. Both in faith and conviction, they were impeccable, which allowed Richard to breathe a sigh of relief.
Corruption among church members is a huge problem every religion faces.
Corrupt church members lead to a decrease in the number of believers, eventually making the church's reputation stink to high heaven.
Given the current state of the goblin world, if the church were to be corrupted further, saving it would be difficult.
Although Richard is confident he can kill the Great Demon, it will undoubtedly take time. And the Abyss erosion of the goblin world has reached a critical point. If the goblins cannot withstand it while Richard takes down the Great Demon...
Then not only Richard might suffer severely, but the world might irreversibly transform into the Abyss World.
