Chapter 507: Escalating The Conflict, Saintess Appears

⇐ ⇒

"Murder!" The cleric screamed hysterically upon seeing the Bishop sent flying by Yaeger's forceful punch.

"So annoying!" In response to the cleric's outburst, Yaeger manifested a tentacle that swiftly dealt with them, sending them crashing against the wall and sliding down to unconsciousness.

"Only I can scam people... No, nobody ever gets to scam me. Absolutely no one!" Yaeger declared, her focus solely on Bishop Eir, who lay injured on the ground. His nose was crushed, and blood covered half of his face.

"Do you really think I can't identify what I have?" Yaeger slowly approached Bishop Eir, her voice laden with killing intent. She was aware that even without life energy on the fragment, she could still verify its authenticity by checking the item description. The fragment she currently held in her hand was evidently not the same sacred item tainted by dark energy she initially had.

As Yaeger realized Bishop Eir had attempted to switch her item, her anger manifested in dozens of tentacles that furiously whipped the Bishop still lying on the ground. The cathedral was filled with his agonized screams.

"Stop!" The moment Bishop Eir seemed on the brink of being whipped to death, a loud voice resounded from a distance. Rushing footsteps followed immediately, signaling the arrival of someone else.

Yaeger ceased her attack and focused ahead, only to see a middle-aged man in luxurious robes and a Bishop's hat, levitating and approaching her with a face full of anger. The man stared directly at her, quickly closing the distance with a burst of speed, a powerful shockwave trailing behind him. Yaeger casually flicked her arm, effortlessly dissipating the shockwave, and they faced each other, eye to eye.

"Why did you assault a Bishop of our church for no reason?" the middle-aged man asked, his tone slightly subdued due to the sharp killing intent he sensed from Yaeger.

"No reason?" Yaeger almost laughed in response, recognizing his immediate accusation as far from kind-hearted.

"I only saw you beating our Bishop. No matter for what reason, you shouldn't assault him!" he stated sternly, pointing at Yaeger.

"Die!" The middle-aged man shouted furiously. Golden light erupted from his staff, signaling the manifestation of a devastating bolt of light.

Yaeger recognized that he was different from a typical Priest – he was a combat Priest. Yet, she still found him insufficient.

"Heh," she smirked grimly and stepped forward, her aura intensifying as she prepared for a powerful attack. Their energies clashed fiercely, enveloping the area in a terrifying aura.

Just as the confrontation was reaching its peak, a beautiful voice called out, "Everyone, stop!" A petite, blonde-haired girl in a white dress appeared, her holy power pushing them back several meters.

"This sacred cathedral isn't the place for you to fight. All of you, stop!" Her calming voice had an immediate effect on the enraged combatants.

"Your Highness, Saintess!" The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the girl as Irene, the Saintess.

Yaeger regained her balance and looked at Irene. ‘Irene, the Saintess,' she thought, familiar with her.

"What's going on here?" Irene asked, first looking at the middle-aged man, then turning to Yaeger. Despite her small stature of about 142 centimeters, Irene's strength was evident from her ability to separate the fighters.

‘Level Ninety. I obviously can't win. Fortunately, Saintess Irene is a reasonable girl. It should be fine once I explain the situation to her,' Yaeger thought, preparing to speak. However, the middle-aged man spoke first.

"Your Highness, the Saintess. This damned Black-hearted Princess wants to burn our cathedral! Blasphemy against the great Goddess of Light is unforgivable and a capital sin!" he accused.

Irene blinked, then looked at Yaeger and said sternly, "A Blasphemer must be killed."
