Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Saintess of the Church of Light VS Ambitious Maid (Part 10) Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Saintess of the Church of Light VS Ambitious Maid (Part 10) City Lord Koman hadn’t finished speaking when a harsh alarm sounded, his expression changed, “It’s bad, the Demon Clan is attacking again!”
Gu Shengyin’s expression turned stern. Right before Carlos gave the order, she raised her scepter high, and a dazzling white light rose from the tip of her scepter, gradually spreading throughout Icefield City.
“Great Purification Spell!” Two Cardinals’ eyes brightened, looking at Gu Shengyin in shock.
The Great Purification Spell was one of the most powerful Forbidden Spells within Light Magic, beyond the ability of a False Saint to cast. Both Cardinals themselves could perform this magic, yet they couldn’t envelop the entirety of Icefield City with Light Magic like Gu Shengyin.
This indicated that the young Saintess, in terms of the depth of her magic power, had already surpassed them—two old hands who had been immersed in Light Magic for hundreds of years.
The two exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of astonishment and delight.
Regardless, as the Saintess of the Church of Light, Gu Shengyin’s power was undoubtedly a good thing for The Holy See.
Successive screams echoed; Gu Shengyin knew these were the death throes of the Demon Clan.
The Great Purification Spell was the most domineering of all the Light Magic Forbidden Spells. As its name suggests, all that is dark, unclean, and repelled by light would be dissolved in the radiance of the Great Purification Spell.
City Lord Koman watched as the black fog that had enshrouded Icefield City for months vanished into thin air under this field of white light, and the sky of Icefield City finally regained its former clarity, almost bringing him to tears.
“Thank you, Your Holiness.” He bowed deeply to Gu Shengyin.
The attendants behind him also followed suit, each performing a bow toward Gu Shengyin.
“There’s no need for thanks; eliminating the Demon Clan and vanquishing darkness is merely my duty,” Gu Shengyin said with a smile.
At that moment, Carlos suddenly spoke, “I wonder if City Lord Koman has prepared a place for us to rest? Her Holiness has been on a long journey and should rest first.”
City Lord Koman nodded repeatedly, “It’s already prepared; I considered poorly.” He quickly led Gu Shengyin and the others toward the prepared residence.
Carlos stood beside Gu Shengyin; she gave him a grateful look.
Only when the people of Koman had left did Gu Shengyin finally breathe a sigh of relief, sat down, and smiled at Carlos, “Thank you.”
Carlos spoke sternly, “Why did Your Holiness need to exert yourself earlier? The Knights of Light are well capable of dealing with a few low-level members of the Demon Clan.”
Gu Shengyin shook her head, “You should see, the people of Koman are like frightened birds. If I can’t convince them with strong power, I will likely struggle to gain their trust.”
Carlos spoke stiffly, “Still, you should not risk your own health. I am tasked with ensuring your safety, and it is my duty to ensure that you remain unharmed.”
Gu Shengyin appeared tired, “I’m just a little drained of magic power, that’s all. Now, go ahead, Carlos, let me rest for a while.”
Carlos seemed to want to say more, but seeing Gu Shengyin’s somewhat pale face, he refrained and quietly left.
The system spoke, “That human cares a lot about you, and you’re being rather cold.”
Gu Shengyin, eyes closed, responded, “It’s precisely because he cares too much that I must act this way.”
If there is no destined outcome, better to nip it in the bud.
