I really only stop

"Sure enough, just like the time under the World Tree, you didn't doubt the [correctness] that you were taught, but subconsciously stood in the position of [someone] to defend him—Yusia, it seems that you subconsciously I've been thinking about that possibility."

Smiling as expected, the woman gently held Miss Saintess's cheeks, and gently turned her in her direction:

"Answer me, as a saint, you have always taken it as your duty to crusade against the [Demon Race], right?"

Looking at the face of the empress that existed deep in her memory, Yuxia nodded subconsciously:

"……Um."

"You see, [disagreement] has arisen."

Under the horrified gaze of Miss Saintess, the woman with the face of a queen suddenly smiled happily:

"Isn't the person you love the one who is your enemy as a saint——[Devil King's Army officer]?"

--------------

"—!"

The moment the heart heard that conclusion, it seemed to stop beating for a moment, subconsciously took a step back, and Miss Saintess looked at the woman in front of her in surprise.

It obviously sounded groundless, but it was inexplicably filled with a kind of determination to state the facts—for some reason, the words spoken by the woman with the face of a queen carried such a special magical power.

【What she said is the truth】, 【What she said is correct】—why do I subconsciously think this way?

"I told you the reason from the very beginning, because I am your apocalypse and your [faith] all along."

Gently hugging Miss Saintess into her arms, the woman whispered in her ear:

"If you still feel confused, please call me by the name known to the world - [Holy Light]."

"!!!"

The pupil shrank suddenly when she heard this title, and Miss Saintess subconsciously clenched her fists:

"Nonsense. The Holy Light exists in everything, how can it be possible to talk to me directly like you?"

"Yusia, [Gods never prove themselves], [Gods don't claim their names]. Regarding the authenticity of my identity, when you wake up from this dream, everything that happens around you and your own heart will tell you. You answer."

Gently stroking Yuxia's long hair, the woman said:

"I know what you're thinking, 'I'm messing with your mind this way, trying to break things down with facts,' right?"

"..."

Yushia didn't make a sound.Even though her intuition told her that what this woman said was true, she was not ready to accept everything the other said.

Thinking about it normally, what happened in front of him may also be a conspiracy to sow the relationship between himself and Lu Xi.

That's right, no matter what I hear, I will maintain the highest trust in that person--

"Even if it's considered a deception and conspiracy by you, it doesn't matter, but what I want to tell you is [On the contrary, the demons are not your enemy]."

"—!"

Things were changing too fast, and Miss Saintess, who had just decided to be skeptical no matter what the other party said, had no time to keep up with the rapidly changing topic:

"The demons are not enemies? What does that mean?"

"The demons that invade this world every 300 years are just visitors from another world who were involved in [a certain event]. If you look at the previous wars between humans and demons, you can know that although they will bring chaos and war, they are also Someone to talk to—and the enemy you have to face is not so kind.”

Pressing Yuxia's shoulder hard, [Holy Light] said word by word:

"[Catastrophe]—a huge horror that actually destroyed the world once ten thousand years ago and almost wiped out all the brilliance established by intellect, Yuxia, you must remember that this is what you need The [enemy] to deal with. In order to destroy civilization, it does almost everything. It is precisely because it does not want the fact that "the person you love is actually a cadre of the Demon King Army" to be used by it to destroy your will at a critical moment, I It’s why I came here first. It’s better to be prepared in advance than to be attacked temporarily, isn’t it?”

"Calamity?"

Subconsciously, Yuxia thought of the mysterious woman who brought heavy losses to the elves and shouted the name of [disaster]:

"I heard that it was some kind of existence that led to the destruction of the Glorious Age, but it was annihilated by the brave and his party afterwards-could it be said that it will appear in this world again?"

"It's not [coming], in fact, it's already there."

Shaking his head quite heavily, [Holy Light] sighed:

"First there was the tragedy of the elves, and then the crisis of the sea clan—this is the harbinger of the revival of disaster in the world. You have witnessed the endless suffering it brings, haven't you?"

"...However, you, who also know all of this, did not respond in any way."

Having said that, the keen Miss Saintess finally caught a trace of the other party's loopholes:

"Since you call yourself [Holy Light], why do you turn a blind eye to those who need help? Even Lu Xi, who is not a priest, is willing to lend a helping hand to the Haizu in distress, but you who call yourself Holy Light and know everything Just watching?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"—that's just your teaching! Not mine!!"

Roared extremely rarely, and for the first time since appearing in the dream, the woman who claimed to be Holy Light showed a furious expression:

"Do you really understand what the so-called [disaster] is? Thousands of years ago, I witnessed too many brilliance being destroyed by him! I can communicate with you without barriers because I I have the same intellect as you, and since I have [intellect], it is only natural for me to feel—”

The following words were not finished, but the holy lady who was stared at by Shengguang subconsciously understood what she wanted to express——

【fear】.

The Holy Light system is just one of the many schools of thought that existed in the Glorious Age thousands of years ago. Since the so-called [disaster] can easily destroy others, it must be able to destroy the one called Holy Light.

As [Holy Light] said, beings with intelligence will give priority to the route that can protect themselves.This is the truth.

[Apocalypse], the unique talent of those favored by the holy light, proves that what the woman in front of her said is true.The feeling from her is indeed the belief of all the clergy—the most authentic [Holy Light].

"...Sorry, as I said at the beginning, what you see now is the [Holy Light] body, a humanoid combination of multiple existences including doubts and emotions, so I may not be able to control my emotions. "

Taking a deep breath like a living human being, although the woman's tone calmed down, it was no longer as soft as before:

"In order to avoid everything being destroyed by the disaster dragon again, I want to integrate all the forces that can be integrated. For you [my believers], what you are about to face may be a more painful choice. I hope you can understand. "

"... a choice?"

The bad premonition in my heart resurfaced again, and Miss Saintess couldn't help asking:

"what are you going to do?"

"Let the church abandon the previous activity policy, use the [original life] as the carrier, and get in touch with my power more than before."

The expression became serious, Shengguang declared:

"From now on, you will no longer be guided by your scriptures and teachings, but by the [Apocalypse] from the [Holy Light] body. In order to fight against disasters, I need your most devout beliefs."

------------

【"Believe in me wholeheartedly, all priests! Abandon everything compiled by ignorance, follow in my footsteps, gain the most real power through research and learning-then, fight against disaster together. If not, the holy The light will no longer shine on you!"]

——Following this silent but majestic announcement, countless dots of holy light suddenly lit up on the dark ground of the real world. go.

"boom!!"

Hit by this unimaginable holy light, the World Tree, which was silent in the Holy Land of the elves, suddenly burst into unimaginable light. In this silent night, it was as bright as the only light source in the world.

On the tall world tree, countless holy flames burn proudly.The two concepts of life and holy light reflect each other, bursting out with incomparable blazing brilliance.

There is no doubt that it is a [beacon]—a beacon that symbolizes the beginning of the battle.

"...As a declaration of war against [disaster], I am afraid there is nothing more appropriate than this."

At the end, the woman who claimed to be Holy Light only left a lonely sigh:

"Forgive me, Yushia."

"The Holy Light is not as beautiful and flawless as you imagine, and this is not a war determined to save the world."

"In the final analysis, including me, all intellectuals in this world are the same."

"Desperately, just trying to survive."

Chapter 812 Holy Light Belongs to the Divine Body

That night, Lu Xi didn't sleep well.

Not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by the hand of the holy lady who was firmly grasping him. When he finally fell asleep again, the dream that appeared in front of his eyes was also very chaotic and strange.

They are all intermittent memories.There are materials I have seen in Osiris, there are conversations with Tiamat, there is an iconic laugh of a certain predecessor, and there is also the night sky that flashes past in Little Garden.

In the end, what appeared before his eyes was the last gift of the first saint.

Not only [Blessing of the Holy Light], but also a series of tests he had to accept before meeting her.

In the drowsy sleep, these pictures kept jumping and changing in Lu Xi's mind repeatedly.It seemed to be reminding him of something.

Finally, this dream, which cannot be called a dream, was interrupted by a violent movement of the person around him. He barely opened his eyes, and Lu Xi looked at Miss Saint who was sitting on the bed and staring blankly at his hands:

"...Yusia? What's wrong with you?"

"me……"

Looking back and forth at his palm like a newborn baby, Miss Saintess replied in a daze:

"The holy light...disappeared from my body?"

--------------

[The holy light possessed by the priests has all disappeared. 】

In just one morning, the originally peaceful city of Rhine boiled over because of this news.

It started when a team of hard-working adventurers accepted the first mission in the guild today.When they went out of the city to collect materials, they were suddenly attacked by monsters that jumped out from the roadside.

After some hard work, the team members who cooperated tacitly solved the wild monsters.Wiping the sweat from their brows, the shield hand and swordsman routinely walked up to the priest for treatment.

Everything seems so normal, because of the presence of priests, the wounded soldiers in battle can heal quickly.As long as they regain their spirits, they can continue to embark on the road of adventure without returning to Rhine City to rest - priests who can heal can greatly increase the team's endurance time, which is a consensus recognized by all adventurers.

However, a problem arises at this moment.

No matter how hard the priest tried, the healing spell that could be released by raising his hand was still gone, even if it was changed to another holy spell.

It wasn't that there was a lack of magic power or skill CDs. From the perception of the priest, the sacred art he had learned so hard seemed to evaporate overnight, and the surrounding environment was also terrifyingly empty. Obviously, other elements were as usual. Active, but the holy light element disappeared as if it had been emptied by something.

The flustered priest asked something unusual, and the captain of the adventure team quickly announced that he had given up on the mission, led the team back to the Rhine City guild, and reported the situation to the guild superiors according to relevant regulations.

At first, he thought that his party had encountered some special monsters. However, while waiting for the results, the captain met more and more colleagues who gave up the mission.

There is no need for extra thinking. After exchanging information and successively attracting several clergymen to confirm, the rumor of [all clergymen have lost their abilities] spread like wildfire in the city of Rhine, bringing unimaginable sensation.

"...According to the information obtained so far, the content of the rumors is true. The relevant personnel of the guild specifically contacted the church stationed in the city of Rhine. Although they did not give a positive response, they revealed that the sanctuary already knew about this. We are waiting for further reply."

After refining the thick information in his hands into two sentences and reporting it to the president, the vice president of the guild, Mr. Yin Ren, had a frowning expression on his face:

"Without the participation of the clergyman profession, it will be difficult to carry out various tasks of the guild. Mr. President, what should we do?"

"What time is it, why are you still thinking about mere tasks?"

Compared with Silver Blade, President Fallon frowned even tighter:

"What about the scope of this anomaly? It would be fine if it was Rhine City and its surroundings, if..."

"—It's not good, my lord president!"

The door of the office was opened with a bang, and Ms. OL rushed in hastily:

"The front desk received several contacts from other adventurer's guilds! In their jurisdiction, the priests have lost their abilities!"

...I'm really afraid of something.

The pen that had been swirling around broke crisply due to the unconscious increase of force in his hand, but President Fallon didn't care about this idle time.

He had a bad guess when he heard [Sanctuary already knew about this].If this anomaly only appeared around Rhine City, the Sanctuary should have sent someone to investigate this widespread and dangerous situation.

However, the reply there is only 'waiting'.

The reason for this situation can only be because this anomaly has affected [the entire world].Even with the wisdom of the old men in the sanctuary, he couldn't take care of himself - and the emergency contact from other guilds also confirmed his conjecture.

"—In short, any priests who have lost their abilities are temporarily prohibited from continuing to participate in the mission."

Knowing that he, the guild leader, cannot be messed up now, Faron hid his astonishment well in the deepest part, and made arrangements in an orderly manner:

"For adventurers of other occupations, the requirements for performing tasks are increased. If they want to perform tasks that previously required five people, the standard will be increased to 15 people, and everything will be tripled."

"three times?!"
