Faith Life of a Former Scammer

016. If you do good things, blessings come.

The halo is not simply light radiating from the back of the head.

It has a special meaning for priests.

Those who use the sword get an ‘Aura’ when they reach the end of their swordsmanship.

The same goes for priests.

When faith reaches its end, priests gain a ‘halo’.

‘Mine is not a real halo, though.’

Before the regression, the ‘saint’ created by Leone was the only person with a halo.

‘The power of the halo during the trial was enormous.’

Aside from its performance, the mysterious atmosphere and sacredness, the power that allowed it to remain intact even when its secrets were exposed.

It was an ability that Leon desperately wanted.

‘This is what I got!’

Of course it was just a fake made from a soul tattoo, but that didn’t matter.

Anyway, the fact that there was a halo was important.

‘No one has a halo right now, so how are they going to tell if they’re fake or real?’

Even the high priest believed the halo as soon as he saw it. That’s why the halo is a rare and precious ability.

‘Thanks to that, I think the next plan will come a little earlier.’

Since he was enchanted by the halo, the next plan, which had been hesitant, would proceed quickly.

‘I’ve been tempted up to the blade of dawn, but not using it is stupid.’

It won’t take long to use them.

By the time he had almost finished organizing his thoughts, Leon arrived at the dormitory.

“Your junior has returned!”

Leon kicked in the dormitory door, but no one was inside.

‘ah. You’re training.’

The sun was still mid-height. There was no way the children would remain in the dormitory.

‘Shall we go sightseeing?’

I was thinking of taking a look to see if I was getting a good education, but I soon came up with that idea.

‘No. If you snoop around, your first impression will only get worse.’

The sight of him snooping here and there like an unemployed man was the worst first impression.

In particular, combat, treatment, and finance were the core parts of the church.

It was stupid to make the worst first impression on this side.

‘Well, there’s only one place to go.’

The only one among the reserve service priests who can visit without hesitation.

‘Is Seira doing well?’

I decided what to do with the other children, but Seira was an exception.

Just being in the church helps her a lot.

She was more like a ‘customer’ than a priest.

‘I have to take care of it on a day like today.’

Customer care is a law that does not get sick if you do it in your spare time.

Leone immediately left the dormitory and headed for the prayer room.

* * *

“Please help me overcome this darkness. Please save me, God.”

A desperate child’s prayer.

“scary. Help. There is no Lyon. How am I? please.”

anxiety and nervousness. I was earnestly praying to God to shake off these things.

Prayer was what Seira did every day.

She prayed every day to create a light that would not be swallowed up by darkness. Lyon also knew this, so he didn’t entrust her with a separate job.

“please. The darkness keeps getting bigger. God help me.”

The darkness that has settled in her is not a one-off. Despair settles in the mind and sows darkness incessantly.

It shrunk in size due to Leon, but it was in a state where it was restored to its size.

“So, will God help me with that?”

A voice that desperately wanted more than God’s help.

“Rion?”

I heard Leon’s voice.

“Did you wait?”

“Why are you so late?!”

Seira pretended to be angry, but her voice was filled with joy.

“I came to help people who are struggling like Seira.”

“Yeah, that was good.”

He was a really good kid.

It must be difficult for him too, but he said that he helped others, so he said he did well.

‘Anyway, I fell for being nice.’

A child who is helpful just by being in the church, is even this kind.

This is your best customer.

“By the way, juniors, where did the respect for seniors go?”

“Ugh. Leon… … Seniors.”

Seeing this, Leon smiled happily.

“Close your eyes and pray again. I will help you.”

“really?”

“okay. Wouldn’t God help us more if we ask together?”

“Rion is the best! no. Seniors!”

“I liked your attitude. Close your eyes.”

“Yep!”

Sayra closed her eyes. Leon put his hand on her head.

“Oh God. Your servant is enveloped in darkness.”

This is a prayer to God, but also a consolation to Seira.

[Trait: Priest’s persuasion is activated.]

The system also judged the same as Leone. Leon’s divine power reached Seira.

But it was a little different from usual.

[The body is in contact.]

[The connection is strengthened.]

Through the hand raised on the head, they were more strongly connected.

A stronger connection wasn’t a bad thing at all.

“This child is immersed in darkness. I’m lost and struggling. I know the pain.”

[Skill: Consolation is activated.]

[Consolation is maximized through connection.]

[Assimilate to the pain of the other person.]

[The connection has been strengthened.]

[I am immersed in the pain of the other person.]

Until Donghwa, it was a notification I had seen so far, but immersion was a notification I had never seen before.

‘Immersion?’

Doubts were immediately cleared.

‘crazy.’

It was a prayer room just before, but Leon was in a completely different place.

* * *

pure white space.

A place that reminds me of ‘purity’ or ‘purity’.

From somewhere in such a pure white place, a black mist was flowing inside.

‘What the hell is this… … .’

Leon looked around with a puzzled expression.

‘It was a prayer room until recently.’

Leon quickly grasped the situation.

‘Is it because of contact with the body?’

The only thing that was different from usual was that he put his hand on top of Seira’s head.

[The connection has been strengthened.]

[I am immersed in the pain of the other person.]

Besides, it seemed certain, considering the last notice that appeared.

When I put my thoughts together, I got a rough idea of where this place was.

‘Let’s see. It should be nearby.’

Leon looked around to confirm his thoughts.

‘Right, right.’

In the middle of the white room, a girl was sitting curled up.

‘You mean something like this is possible?’

A deep smile appeared on Leon’s face as if he had been embarrassed.

There were countless ways to use this.

‘Let’s check how far it goes.’

As soon as Leon made a decision, he moved right away. Then he approached the crouching girl.

“Saira. It’s okay, I’m here.”

The crouching girl was Seira. This place seemed to be in Seira’s ‘heart’.

“tiring. sad.”

Even when Leon called, she didn’t respond. I just kept repeating that it was hard.

‘Is there no response when I call?’

If so, you just have to use another method.

“Saira. It’s me, I’m here.”

Rion put her hand on Seira’s shoulder.

The moment that ‘contact’ was made like that.

“Lee, Leon?”

Saira reacted.

“It’s okay, Sarah. No need to worry.”

“Leon! Where have you been! I miss you! I was scared!”

The dignified appearance from a while ago had gone, and Seira was spoiled to the fullest.

‘I must have been holding back.’

The idea that this place was in my heart added to my conviction.

“Is it because of this darkness?”

“yes. won’t go away It keeps getting darker and bigger.”

“If you make light, these things can’t come.”

“no. You can’t do that.”

“No?”

Seira nodded and put her hands together.

“Please help me. Give me the light.”

The light gathered in his hand, but the darkness soon consumed the light.

Faith was only a stopgap.

No matter how much light is gathered, it is quickly consumed by darkness.

‘It’s boring. I’ll have to change my method.’

It didn’t seem like it would go on like this.

Another way was needed.

“Saira. Shall we make something other than light?”

“Something else?”

“The light fades quickly. Make something else so it doesn’t disappear.”

“Like what?”

I didn’t have to think hard.

“What Seira likes. think of it like that Wouldn’t it be better if it was big so that you can find it right away if darkness comes and you get lost?”

“Mmm.”

The boy thought for a moment.

“tree! I wish we had a big tree in our garden!”

“tree?”

“yes! Not good?”

It couldn’t have been much.

“no. Good? If there is a big tree, you won’t get lost, and if you’re really tired, you can lean on the tree, right?”

“uh? Really?”

There didn’t seem to be any particular reason for thinking of it as a tree, but there are times when a rough shot is just right.

“great. Then, shall we make a tree?”

“Ugh. What are you made of?”

“It is made of light. Will it not disappear when it becomes a tree?”

“Maybe?”

“Then, of course not. Believe me.”

Rion boasted, but wasn’t sure. Right now, it’s just a matter of trying things out.

If everything is uncertain, ‘confidence’ is the most important thing.

‘Well, even if I fail, the darkness will be swept away at once.’

It will take a lot of divine power to make a tree, so even if you fail, the darkness will be cleared away.

“I will give you the materials to make the tree. Instead, it’s Seira who makes them.”

“how?”

If this is in your heart, it is an unconditionally possible way.

“Imagine. I eagerly imagine the big tree in the garden.”

“I am confident of that! Because I see you every day!”

That’s why I told you to choose what to make yourself.

“great. Close your eyes and think strongly of the tree.”

“yes!”

Seira closed his eyes at the same time as he answered.

Now it was Leon’s turn to move.

‘I can’t even use most of them anyway. Write a lot!’

Divine power that overflows the body thanks to the holy relic. It blew it all out.

The tree was made as I thought.

‘uh?’

The problem was that the trees were being made in strange places.

* * *

‘driving me crazy. Why is this for me?!’

Leon was in a very flustered state right now.

The plan was to create a big tree in Seira’s heart, but the reality was completely different.

‘Why do trees come to me!’

The tree was created in Leon’s mind, not in Seira’s.

‘I was wondering why the trees look translucent.’

The first time I saw a transparent tree, I thought it was because it was made of light. However, I realized when I saw that the divine power was not emitted and only gathered in my heart.

‘Ah, this is mine.’

This wasn’t something Leon could control. In the first place, they received too much divine power from the gods and were unable to handle them.

‘How did this happen?’

connected?

Even immersed?

The reason is unknown, but the tree was growing inside Leon’s body.

‘It’s fortunate that it’s divine power.’

The fortunate thing was that ‘sacred power’ was gathering in a tremendous amount in my heart.

There was never anything dangerous.

‘Why is it so unnecessarily big!’

The biggest reason for this was that the tree was too big even if it was big.

The big tree seen through the eyes of a child was not the usual size we think.

Colossal divine power was put into making the tree.

‘It really spread a lot.’

Thanks to this, all the divine power that only existed in Leon’s body and was not controlled was gathered.

After a while.

In Leon’s mind, a huge tree created with divine power appeared.

‘Wow, how do you use this? Can’t even move… … .’

At that moment, tremendous divine power emanated from the tree.

A huge divine power moved.

‘… … uh?’

When he focused on the divine power again, the enormous divine power that had been unable to move until now moved.

“… … honey?”

What I thought was the ‘worst’ turned into the ‘best’ situation.
