Book 3: Chapter 36: Body And Soul

A huge magic circle covered the sky above Aeria. Like a setting sun, it dyed the city crimson.

Several figures exuding powerful aura flit across the sky above the city, seemingly searching for something.

The church’s most elite Judgement Army gathered in the most prosperous area of Aeria. Commoners stood outside the cordon, pointing and whispering at the street that was once a representation of prosperity. Fear started spreading among the crowd.

Not only the commoners, even the silver-armored knights of the Judgement Army had never felt such chill before. The scenery in front of them chilled everyone to their core, like the cold wind of the tundra.

The liveliest and busiest street in Aeria had disappeared.

It all happened so abruptly and mysteriously. It vanished under the gaze of millions of people in the city, tens of thousands of guards, thousands of Templars, hundreds of magic priests, dozens of saint-level experts and the Pope.

Anyone looking at the huge sinkhole in the center of the city would feel chills all over their body.

The most terrifying part was no one noticed how the street had vanished and been replaced by the huge sinkhole. It was as though the Goddess had quietly erased everything here with a wave of her hand.

This was also the reason why nearly all the vital forces in Aeria were mobilized. The church was already alarmed by the desecration of the goddess, and now someone had wiped out a lively street right under their noses. This was no different than slapping the Luminous Theocracy across the face!

Whether it was caused by the same person or not, the criminal must pay the price!

And the culprit behind all this was now sitting in a restaurant on a street that wasn’t far from there, wolfing down the store’s signature beef noodles.

The empty bowls were already piled up as tall as a person.

Lilith then finally patted on her belly and sighed in satisfaction, “I guess it’s a must to fill your tummy right after a strenuous exercise.”

Sae waved and a waiter came over to clear the table. His movements were rather stiff, like a puppet being controlled by strings.

In fact, not only the waiter, but everyone in this small restaurant was controlled by Sae’s spiritual magic. Only God knew how much of a commotion would be stirred up if someone found their saintess enjoying a peaceful meal with the person who just attacked the priest to intervene in an execution earlier.Diiscover new stories at nove/lbin(.)c/om

“So what’s the matter with you, Sae?”

Lilith asked while picking her teeth with a toothpick.

“Hm? Lady Lilith? Are you listening?”

“The body affects the soul... and not the other way round...” Lilith lowered her head and mumbled to herself, as if thinking about some matter that had shaken her to her core. She didn’t even respond to Sae who kept waving her hands in front of her.

“Lady Lilith, if you keep spacing out like that, the saintess is going to run away.”

It was only then that Lilith suddenly snapped back to her senses and grabbed Thea who kept suppressing her presence to look for an opportunity to escape.

“My dear friend, where are you planning to run off to...?”

“I... I’m not running anywhere.” Thea waved her hands, at the same time glaring at Sae who told on her. “I was just thinking of going out to get some fresh air.”

Naturally, Sae wouldn’t be intimidated by a little girl like her. “I thought you would kill her, Lady Lilith. In the end, you’re still too soft.”

“Do you have any problem with that?”

Lilith also shot a glare at her, but the effect wasn’t of the same level as Thea’s. Sae quickly admitted defeat.

“I don’t have any problem with that, but I just kind of feel like I have sacrificed the body that I finally got for nothing.”

“If you don’t have any problem then just shut up and rest up. We still have another tough battle to fight next.”

Sae jolted. “A tough battle...?”

Lilith drained all the tea in her cup in one go, then shook her little head. “It’s nothing big, I just want to reason with that old Pope. If the old man is reasonable, we might be treated to some good food and tea.”

“What if the old man is unreasonable?”

“...” The air was strangely quiet for a moment.

Lilith then took out an item and said, “No worries, it’s all in my calculation. If he’s unreasonable, then I’ll have to talk some sense into him.”

The sight of that item shook Sae’s soul to her very core.
