Book 3: Chapter 30: Reignite

The golden flame continued burning, just like a dancing elf.

However, Lilith didn’t look as good. She was lying in a pool of blood. Her skin cracked like shattered porcelain. Blood seeped through the cracks endlessly, dying the ground crimson. She looked as though she was losing every drop of blood in her body.

Time passed as blood streamed out of Lilith’s body. Thea stood beside her, staring down at her opponent’s soulless body.

Her shimmering white wings flapped by themselves, and feathers fluttered in the wind like fallen leaves.

Although her entire face was concealed by a mysterious power and her emotions were suppressed by divine power, the bottomless sorrow that Thea was exuding could still be clearly felt.

After all, she had just personally destroyed the thing she cherished the most.

Just like countless times before.

The more she cherished, the faster she would lose them.Fiind updated novels on no/v/elbin(.)co/m

Perhaps, yearning for ‘ordinary things’ that were within the reach of ordinary people as the saintess of the Luminous Theocracy, was another form of blasphemy against the goddess.

Since it was a blasphemy, she must wipe away the sin with her own hands.

Thea raised the staff, condensing a mysterious magic circle at its tip. Light elements started gathering there, even distorting the space.

Let her at least be the one to end things.

However, even this humble wish of hers wasn’t granted.

Because...

“Don’t cry when you’re sending someone away. You shouldn’t let your sorrow be the last thing people see when they leave the world.”

Lilith snapped her eyes open, wearing a bloody and sinister smile on her face as she stared right back at Thea, looking like a ghost who had returned from hell.

“But never mind about that, I’m not kicking the bucket just yet.”

She clenched her fist. Her condition was perfectly restored.

Well then...

“Ding! Your hack has been activated. Please enjoy your game.”

Lilith had launched herself at Thea like a cannonball with an unprecedented speed while making a joke from her previous world.

In just the blink of an eye, she closed in on Thea and then whipped a leg right at her opponent’s abdomen without wasting any movement.

Not knowing any martial skills and only possessing the lowest first or second level magic spells, Lilith could only fight with the most basic movements.

However, even these simple attacks could have miraculous effects under some special circumstances.

And she was in one of those special circumstances right now.

Before this, Lilith’s attack would be intercepted by Thea’s magic in midair then forcing her into a defensive role.

But now, the black flame instantly swallowed Thea’s magic and amplified Lilith’s attack power.

Her leg swept across Thea, but the kick didn’t connect quite like how Lilith had expected it to. Thea dispersed like a wisp of smoke instead.

It turned out to be an illusion!

Thea then reappeared somewhere further away.

This time, she didn’t even give Lilith a chance to get near to her.

She slowly spread her sacred wings, scattering countless white feathers in their empty little world. The feathers glowed with soft golden light, looking like a rain of light that was ascending to heaven.

To Lilith, she just looked like some bird-woman that was shedding feathers due to some illness. But it was at that moment, those scattered feathers turned into little suns.

They grew brighter and brighter, until Lilith saw only gold in her field of vision.
