There may be a TRIGGER, for those more sensitive people, in the last paragraphs. Only hint of violence.
To update more chapters, pay me a Ko-fi! Yes, I am being shameless, but the advertising continues. xD (Ko-fi.com/take_the_moon)
(....)
This jewel was of red and pulsating color, next to this seed was a white flower bud that eats a sacred aura and there was a beautiful bud of an unknown plant. This bud was green and looked very much lived, a soft green light floated around that bud.
"So that's how it is," Emery said, understanding a little how the energies in his body worked. The "heart" was not a heart, but a space to plant and develop the energies that were the laws of the world.
The small seed could develop over time, at least Emery thought so. The seed was small because of the contract, after all, although the manticore is a strong demon, it could not be compared to Emery's status as Bishop of the Church of the god of light.
Moving from Father to Bishop is not simply a status, but an evolution in the very foundation of the cultivation of sacred energy. A transition ceremony was held, which increases power qualitatively for the user.
Anyway, Emery Darcy took a deep breath and as he did with the other energies, he pulled that energy to circulate through his body. Now it was time for the truth to know if there would be the harm in your body because of this demonic energy.
The demonic energy was timid and fragile, so it was very slowly spreading through Emery's body. The demonic energy was of red color, it was not soft, but it seemed wild as if he were playing with a kind of mysterious fire.
Anyone who saw Emery from the outside would see him covered in strong and powerful fire, but he only felt slight warmth. There was also something strange about his skin as if he was too long in the sun, it wasn't unbearable, but it still gave some discomfort.
"At least I didn't explode" thought Emery a little amused by just having a slight aversion to his body. According to the romance of his past life, the laws of this world were quite strict, it was already a miracle he didn't have an adverse reaction and only a slight discomfort on the skin. Besides, he didn't feel a pain in his heart from the conflict of energy.
This all makes Emery Darcy's body much more than special. It was something similar there is a god or there is a monster, what weighed most on Emery's heart was to think that he was no longer a human.
"The body of the original Emery Darcy has this kind of secret... Was the end of it really a sad life as a sex toy? Or was there something else?" thought Emery Darcy reflecting on the memories of the original Bishop Darcy.
"Now is not the time to think about it, I have to find Giovanni. Then I'll think about it more calmly" Emery left this for later. Now the important thing was to find the MC, after all, they were still in the window of time when the MC could end up injured and almost dead, so he worries was not out of the ground.
"Bao, do I have something to ask?" said Emery materializing demonic energy into a small ball. The manticore Bao looked at this little ball of demonic energy with a lot of gluttony, he even seemed to salivate a little.
Going back to where Giovanni was being held.
The room had a few candles lit, which made everything a little darker, the silence seemed oppressive and Giovanni's heavenly blue eyes looked here and there from the room as if trying to know where he was locked.
"Judging by the things in the room, this must be somewhere on the first floor. This is not the clergy's room, so there is only one possibility this should be the building that travelers stay in when they move from one city to another" thought Yani a little worried. In his past life this kind of thing hadn't happened, he was too insignificant for anyone to bother kidnapping him.
"Unless they've discovered my real identity" Yani thought. However, he soon took it away from his mind. If anyone knew of his noble identity, he would not be treated that way, but the clergy would want to buy his silence and goodwill.
"Yani, what are we going to do?" Giovanni asked anxiously. He could be safe in space made by Yani's magic, but his body was not blessed with this kind of thing.
"For now, let's wait and see who's behind it" replied Yani to Giovanni, he had a lot of confidence that he could run away at any moment. Even if he later has to fall asleep for a week or more, since that would imply him using his mental power.
Unfortunately, time went by and more than 30 minutes passed, but no one showed up. Yani was getting cold and the chains were hurting her soft and tender skin.
Besides, he was just wearing a thin sweater. His novice clothes had been taken off and the weather was much colder than usual, because of the treacherous autumn that played with time as a tantrum child, where it was not known whether it would be cold or hot.
So, when Yani thought of using her powers to break these chains and escape the room, the door was finally opened. There was a group of younger men being led by an older man.
By the black clothes and rosaries that each one carried on their necks, you could see that the young men were the newly formed priests. The older man wore a different and exquisite outfit, the color of his outfit was violet, and he had a similar hat there a beret also of violet color. On top of his cassock, there is a type of white robe that has embroidery on his chest with the emblem of the Church of the God of Light. The white robe only reached half the trunk.
Unlike the priests who have their clothes with hoods, the bishops do not have this kind of hooded clothing, since they proudly exposed their faces for all to see.
Besides, the priests had simple jewels, such as a rosary and one or two silver rings on their fingers. The bishop had a rosary made of pearls with gold chains, thick gold rings with large jewels embedded and the bracelets on his wrists were also showy and expensive.
The jewels were proof that this old man was a successful bishop or that came from a wealthy family, of course, it was simpler for the bishop to come from a strong-background family. A successful bishop would not be in Matthew Abbey but in the capital. The case of Bishop Darcy is rather strange and special, probably temporary as well.
This group of men, a total of 11 men entered inside the small room where Giovanni was imprisoned. The room soon got warmer with so many people and also looked even smaller with so few men standing.
Yani looked at them all with a look full of surprise, he looked at all these people, but Father Rutger was not among these people. That's why he was surprised. Yani didn't know any of these people, neither in Giovanni's memories nor in the memories of his past life.
What the other way?
