Chapter 26: Another Would-Be Saintess

The flow of magic in Jerry's body was as pure as water, like a trickling stream in his own senses.

But now, in the trickling stream, red lines gradually emerged, and if you looked closely, it was clear that wisps of flame were entwined with the stream.

Jerry didn't know what this change meant, but he could see that his mana flow was gradually growing, and the growth of mana flow originally symbolized the strength of the magic power, and the magic released would naturally be stronger.

Although he could not perform even the simplest of magic yet, he believed that he would one day be given the means to cast it, and then his more powerful stream of magic would be directly realized into powerful magic.

What is laid now is the foundation, and this foundation will surely bloom one day!

Jerry went from nervous to excited, and then from excited to calm, and he kept watching the flow of magic in his body change.

I don't know how long it has been, maybe a few hours have passed, but the flow of magic in Jerry's body has finally completely quieted down.

And at this moment, he suddenly found that the appearance of the mana flow in his body had completely changed. It is no longer a single color or form, but a combination of two ever-changing streams of magic that looks like a small but beautiful tornado.

It was a strange state, but Jerry wasn't sure if it was normal or not, as he had no experience with magic.

But he himself feels good, very good, and that's enough.

When Jerry opened his eyes, he had a vague feeling that something was different.

First of all, he could be sure that this change did not come from his fighting spirit level, he was still at the level of the warrior level. But his other aspects, from sight to hearing and smell, are all up a notch from before.

He looked at the wall, but he could see rough particles on the flat wall, and even the gaps between the particles that were not visible appeared in front of him. He listened attentively, and the sound like dismantling things came from afar, which was exactly what Lisa had told him yesterday, and John's people had grievances in their hearts, and they even wanted to quietly smash things to vent their anger.

This change in perception was amazing, as if a new world had opened up in front of him.

Jerry vaguely guessed that this was the change brought about by the change in the flow of mana, but he couldn't say why. Except for one point, he was originally particularly sensitive to the water elements around him, but now this sensitivity has increased a lot.

And it wasn't just the water element, he even roughly felt the existence of another invisible, living thing, and it was the same ubiquitous fire element.

"So that's what the fire elemental looks like!"

Jerry was mesmerized by what he had "seen".

Now he could "see" the water elementals without the help of a stream of mana, and they fluttered everywhere, in the air, on the land, and even in his own body.

The elements of water do not seem to be limited by their physical form, and can move freely through any place, seemingly blending into but in fact independently, as if they were located in another dimension.

And in this rich water element, a little red light is as bright and dazzling as the stars in the night sky, which is the fire element that he could only observe just now.

Although the number of fire elementals was far less than that of water elementals, it was not as rare as he had thought earlier, and would be restrained or even destroyed by water elementals with opposite attributes because of their scarcity.

There is no obvious discrepancy between them, and the fire elemental, like the water elemental, is free to move through any kind of matter, including his own body.

"It's amazing!"

Jerry was completely shocked, but his heart was even more determined, he only felt that his dream was not deviated, and the world of the priest was really extraordinary.

Now that he only has a preliminary flow of magic power, he can see such a magical scene, and when he really masters the skills of the priest, how wonderful should this world be?

Jerry clenched his fists, and the more he looked forward to it, the more it gave him motivation, and the achievements he had achieved now gave him confidence.

In the past, he had placed his hopes in the temple and on someone to teach, but now he is more and more convinced that he can achieve his dreams even if he relies on himself, with the book of destiny in his hands.

Jerry closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was back to normal.

He looked at the pile of demon cores again, according to his speculation, since the fire attribute demon cores could also be absorbed, there was no reason why they could not absorb the other two systems.

Absorbing one more Fire Attribute Demon Core made him change so much, and he couldn't wait to know what would happen to him if he absorbed two more Demon Cores with different attributes.

The earth-based second-order demonic beast Golden Crown Python, the wind-based first-order demonic beast Wind Blade Green Wolf, and the magic cores from these two types of demonic beasts were placed in front of him, and the latter was the one he had hunted with Lisa.

Jerry was about to try to absorb the two cores, when he suddenly felt a little dazzling, only to realize that the sunlight had penetrated through the cracks in the window, and the night had completely passed.

He thought it would only take him an hour or two to absorb the Fire Attribute Demon Core before, but in fact, it took a whole night.

Jerry was so bothered by the result that he wanted to continue trying to absorb it, but that would almost certainly be discovered.

The dazzling effect of absorbing the core can be blocked by the room, but there is no way to solve the problem of timing. The boys saw that he hadn't been out of the room all day, and they would definitely come looking for him. Even if John didn't come to him very slowly, it was impossible for Lisa not to notice his anomaly, and then everything would be revealed.

"Let's wait until the evening. ”

Jerry sighed, and was about to put away the cores when he suddenly heard a rapid chime.

When!when!when...... While!

The bell rang non-stop, twelve times.

Jerry was stunned for a moment and frowned: "Is that the alarm bell? It rang twelve times in a row!"

He learned from the book Adam had given him that the temple had a large bell dedicated to warning. The bell usually only indicates the time quietly, and it is easy not to ring.

And once this bell rings, it means that something big has happened. If the bell rings more than nine times, it means that something is about to happen or has happened enough to affect the state and the temple.

It was clear that this big bell had just rang, and it had been ringing twelve times, which was the highest level!

"What the hell is going on?"

Jerry frowned and whispered as he looked in the direction of the Light's Palace, unaware that a large group of people had gathered in that place at this time.

The holiest place in the country of Edel is the Holy Mountain and the Holy City, and the holiest place in the Holy City is the Palace of the God of Light.

This is the holy place where His Majesty the Pope rules over all the earthly peoples, and it is also the place where the God of Light gives his parables.

At this time, in the Pope's Hall, except for His Majesty the Pope, who had not yet appeared, the most powerful people in the Temple of Light had already gathered.

Catherine was also in the crowd, and in a white dress, she looked like a hibiscus out of the water, and it was hard not to attract the attention of others.

But she wasn't the only one dressed like this, and just opposite her, under the gilded stone pillar stood a young girl who was also dressed similarly to her.

"Anastasia. ”

Catherine's face changed slightly, and although she quickly returned to normal, this trace of change did not escape the other party's eyes.

Both she and Anastasia were chosen by the temple as a saint-to-be at an early age, but only one of them could eventually grow into a saint, and the competition has continued since they met until today.

And there is one thing that is not known to ordinary people, but it is not a secret in this holy city, that is, the competition between the two of them is far more fierce than ordinary people can imagine.

The Holy Maiden had no real power in the temple, but her status was extremely high. Even if they are all quasi-saints now, they can still be ranked in front of the high priest, the presiding judge, the bishop and other giants, and serve on both sides of the throne.

It's just that their position is just opposite, and they will inevitably pass by.

Catherine's face was as usual now, and she didn't mean to greet the other party, but just when the two passed by, Anastasia's mouth quietly came out of her mouth: "Catherine, you are really fateful!"

Syllable!

Catherine's footsteps froze, and the cold gaze fell on Anastasia's face, causing the latter's smug face to stiffen for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Just over half a year ago, Catherine had been assassinated for the first time in her life, but there had never been one more angry and more painful memories for her.

The flames, the corpses, the burning and pungent smells, and the blood-stained arm that eventually came out of his arms...... At that time, she was only a three-year-old girl, but even after ten years, that scene would always come to mind clearly.

Seeing that Catherine's face was bloodless, Anastasia's face showed a touch of cruel pleasure, but before she could say anything, an ice crystal suspended in front of her eyes made all the vicious words in her stomach hold in her throat and could not spit out.

The two of them are both quasi-saints, and they both have extraordinary talents that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, but there is still an inevitable gap in personal strength, at least Anastasia is now very clear that she is much worse than Catherine in terms of actual combat.

If Catherine really wanted to kill her, she couldn't even hide from such a distance, but she quickly reacted, this was the Palace of the God of Light, how dare Catherine kill her.

The temple does not restrict the way the would-be saints can compete, but they are not allowed to fight to the death in person, and now Catherine is just scaring and scaring her.

As she had expected, the ice crystals were instantaneous, unnoticed by no one but themselves.

"Humph!"

Anastasia was about to taunt Catherine a few words, when she saw Catherine already walking forward, and at the same time, a steady cold word that made her pupils subconsciously dilate, was sent into her ears-

"Anastasia, I'm not going to let you die. When I finally become a saint, you will be relegated to the lowest prostitute in the company of the dirtiest and ugliest subspecies in the world!"

Anastasia was stunned, unable to believe that this was what Catherine, who was considered to have a weak character, could say, but just as she was about to fight back in a rage, the entire papal hall suddenly burst into light.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

The chant rang out, and Anastasia no longer had the courage to fight back, and she bowed down towards the source of light.
