Beatrice then turned back to the others facing her. "The evil goddess is a divine being. A weapon that carries no divinity shouldn't be capable of killing her."
"That is true," another man interjected. "But we already know the reason we're capable of contending with the evil goddess in the first place. She's at her weakest state."
He gestured toward Beatrice.
"Her reincarnation forced her into a human body. Regardless of whether the weapon carries divinity, a sufficiently powerful attack can still destroy that body and force her into another reincarnation cycle."
Beatrice turned toward him. "And on what makes you so sure?"
The man straightened slightly. "I am a Blessed of Harpalion, the God of Light and Fire. This is what his knowledge tells me."
The woman holding the lance then spoke. "I believe he is correct."
She looked down at the weapon in her hands before continuing.
