Chapter 81: Chapter 7: Crushing Victory! The Super Rare Trait ’Saintess
"Give me three minutes to take care of them," Rosaline said coolly.
Su Xuan stared at her helmet. Though he couldn’t see her expression, he could picture it perfectly.
’Why does this feel like an expert taking a rookie under their wing...’
’Wait, am I the rookie?’
It made sense. He was only eighteen, while Rosaline had been in her twenties before becoming an Undead.
While Su Xuan was lost in thought, Rosaline raised her longsword and charged toward the rival Guild.
"Kill that Knight!"
The President of the rival Guild wasted no words, immediately ordering his five Adventurers to attack Rosaline.
As Pastor Tiriel watched the enemy Guild members charge, a cold smirk played on his lips.
’So what if that Female Knight is powerful?’
’We have more people, and our Levels are higher...’
However, before Pastor Tiriel could even finish his thought, Rosaline’s Oath Sword pierced the heart of a member of the rival Guild.
In a single instant, the Guild member became a cold corpse, collapsing into a pool of blood.
The swift and decisive kill left everyone at the scene utterly stunned.
’Was that for real?’
’An instant kill on the first exchange?’
"All of you, attack together! Go all out! Don’t give her a single opening!" The rival Guild President was panicking now, frantically ordering his members to attack Rosaline with everything they had.
However, in the face of absolute Power, all their efforts were as fragile as thin ice.
Rosaline’s figure danced like a phantom under the moonlight. Her six fluorescent blue wings granted her a speed boost far beyond any normal person.
Just moments later, another member of the rival Guild fell to her Oath Sword.
To Rosaline, cutting down Adventurers above Level 20 was as easy as slicing vegetables!
"ROAR!"
The highest-Level Adventurer in the rival Guild let out an earth-shattering roar, raised his Giant Axe, and swung it fiercely at Rosaline.
’A Beastman Warrior, Level 25 or higher?’
Su Xuan immediately deduced that the Beastman Warrior was over Level 25. His combat power was likely even higher than Pastor Tiriel’s.
But...
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
In an instant, brilliant flashes of her sword gleamed like moonlight.
After a brief exchange of just a few moves with Rosaline, the Beastman Warrior had his limbs precisely severed. The tip of her blade then pierced his heart, and he collapsed into a pool of blood.
"Anur!"
"How is this possible?"
The rival Guild President’s face twisted with anger and despair. ’How could his Guild’s strongest Adventurer be defeated so easily?’
’It’s over...’
A look of despair crossed Pastor Tiriel’s face as the fear of death crept into his heart. ’He never dreamed the enemy he’d provoked would be this powerful!’
"Three minutes. Right on time."
Rosaline deftly sheathed her Oath Sword and returned to Su Xuan’s side.
She was a woman of her word. If she promised to finish the enemy in three minutes, she wouldn’t be a second late.
"Good work," Su Xuan said with an approving nod. He was very pleased with the performance of his Guild’s strongest fighter.
’Looks like I can hang onto that Flame Ruin Edith gave me for now. It’s like getting an extra Elite-quality item. A massive win!’
Su Xuan gazed from afar at the rival Guild President, whose face was a mask of terror and rage.
The six Adventurers he had painstakingly trained had all been wiped out in an instant. For a Player, this was a despair akin to plunging into Hell.
But Su Xuan felt not an ounce of sympathy for this beast. He walked toward him and asked coldly, "Were you the one who brutalized those women?"
"Bastard! Do you know how much money I spent training these Adventurers? That was everything I had! You’ve destroyed it all!" the man roared angrily at Su Xuan. He had lost everything in this moment.
But the next second, a sinister smile spread across his face. "What? You want to get justice for them?"
"It’s just a game! I’m a Player, I can do whatever I want. What right do you have to interfere? That’s how this world works: with enough Power, you can do anything. You just haven’t seen real Hell! I’ve seen far more miserable sights than this on my quests!"
"Alice!"
Su Xuan ignored the rival Guild President’s tirade and decided to let Alice deal with him.
"Understood!"
Alice’s jet-black Big Scissors materialized in mid-air, locking onto the rival Guild President.
"You want to kill me? In your dreams!"
The rival Guild President immediately activated a Teleportation Array, attempting to escape back to his own Guild. According to the game’s rules, Players could only log out from within their Guild, so he had to return there first.
Of course, there were two other ways out: Player death, or being forcibly logged out by the system for excessive playtime.
So it was impossible for a Player to be trapped in this game world by any means.
However, before the Teleportation Array could fully activate, Rosaline appeared behind him like a phantom and sent him flying with a single kick.
His body tumbled several times across the ground before coming to a stop.
Just as he was struggling to get up and continue his escape, Alice’s Big Scissors descended without mercy.
"AHHH!"
A heart-wrenching scream erupted from the rival Guild President’s mouth, echoing through the dark night.
However, this miserable scream didn’t wake anyone, because Su Xuan had already turned down the volume beforehand...
Ahem... Actually, he’d had Ivsha use her Magic Power to create a sound barrier, ensuring the screams wouldn’t spread.
"Snip, snip, snip!"
Alice remotely controlled the Soul Cutter, snipping at the rival Guild President’s soul again and again. Each cut was met with a piercing scream, echoing in waves through the night sky like a chilling tide.
But what shocked the enemy Guild President even more was that despite the excruciating pain in his soul, his body was completely unharmed. In other words, his Life Value hadn’t decreased at all!
"Why? Why am I not dead?! What have you done to me? Why isn’t my Life Value going down?!" the enemy President roared in disbelief. He couldn’t understand why he was still alive after such an agonizing assault.
The pain was so intense his eyes became bloodshot and veins bulged all over his body, yet the system still hadn’t popped up a death notification. Just why was this happening?
The reason was simple. The body’s capacity to endure was limited, and while the soul also had a limit, it was far higher than the body’s.
This also meant that when Players faced death from a soul attack, the pain they had to endure would be much more intense!
"Alice, cut his soul to shreds!" Su Xuan ordered mercilessly.
"As you command, Master!"
Amidst shrill screams, the Player finally died because his soul couldn’t bear the excruciating pain, dropping a pile of trash equipment.
But even so, Su Xuan still felt this punishment was far from enough.
Of course, Su Xuan never saw himself as an incarnation of justice, nor did he even think of himself as a man of Kindness. He just happened to be standing on the side of justice this time and had a job to finish for his client.
"Next..."
Su Xuan’s gaze shifted to Pastor Tiriel, who was lying on the ground. The Guild President had paid for his crimes with the torment of his soul and the ruin of his Guild, while the other members had been ruthlessly slain by Rosaline.
Therefore, this still-living Priest would naturally have to answer for all these crimes.
"Talk!"
Su Xuan grabbed Pastor Tiriel by the head and demanded harshly, "Tell me where the missing women are! And confess every last one of your wicked deeds!"
...
「The next day.」
Pastor Tiriel was nailed up in front of the Bright Church, barely alive, left for the public to condemn. He was eventually taken to the gallows and hanged.
The Law Enforcement Knights also successfully rescued the abducted women. They had been hidden by Pastor Tiriel in the cellar of a manor.
Of course, Su Xuan couldn’t witness these scenes firsthand, because he was too tired after interrogating Tiriel and had to log off to sleep.
When he started the game after school and returned to Blue Moon City, he only saw a cold corpse and the residents who once trusted Pastor Tiriel throwing rotten eggs at it.
However, Su Xuan hadn’t come to Blue Moon City this time to spectate Pastor Tiriel’s miserable end.
He had come to Blue Moon City to explore the secret chamber beneath the Statue of the God of Light.
During his interrogation of Pastor Tiriel, Su Xuan had learned of a secret hidden in the chamber beneath the Statue of the God of Light. As for how he’d extracted that information? Su Xuan’s methods had been exceedingly cruel.
Soon, Su Xuan entered the Bright Church. Since the Law Enforcement Knights had already sealed off the area, it was now empty.
He led Rosaline and Ivsha into the hidden passage at the base of the Statue of the God of Light, following it all the way to the secret chamber.
Traces of the Law Enforcement Knights’ search were everywhere, but unfortunately, Tiriel had long since cleaned away all evidence of his sins.
The secret Tiriel had hidden here could only be accessed using the Divine Magic of the Bright Church Court, which the Law Enforcement Knights naturally could not do.
"Uhh..."
Su Xuan flipped through the Blue Scripture he had obtained from Pastor House, attempting to chant the Spell to unlock the secret, but...
For someone who was a beginner at Magic, this seemed a bit difficult.
’Whatever, I’ll just give it a try.’
"Makka Pakka~"
Su Xuan chanted the Spell from the scripture. He had expected to fail, but in the next moment, a Golden Magic Array suddenly materialized before him.
’Oh? It worked?’
Su Xuan was slightly taken aback, not expecting to succeed on his first try.
Rosaline, beside him, also showed a surprised expression, and couldn’t help but think: ’Could he be a genius?’
Only Ivsha’s eyes were full of adoration as she praised him in her heart: ’As expected of the one who wields the Holy Light!’
When the Golden Magic Array was fully charged, a wooden box appeared out of thin air on the floor of the secret chamber.
Su Xuan walked over, picked up the wooden box, and gently opened it.
However, when he opened the wooden box, he found a portrait inside.
The woman in the portrait was incomparably beautiful. A length of white gauze gently veiled her eyes, giving her an air of mystery and allure. Her snow-white hair cascaded like a waterfall, smooth and flowing as it spilled over her shoulders. She wore a Golden gown of exquisite make, its fluid lines clinging to her elegant form. The hem of her skirt was encrusted with glittering jewels that shone like stars in the night sky, so brilliant one dared not gaze upon them directly.
She also wore a crown upon her head, a clear symbol of power and status.
"Who is this?"
Su Xuan studied the portrait, confused and a little speechless. ’Why would Pastor Tiriel hide a painting like this?’
’Though this woman’s beauty could certainly rival Edith’s...’
Just as his heart was filled with doubt, a message popped up in his vision.
[Portrait of the Saintess (Epic): No effect.]
[Provides the Super Rare Trait "Saintess"! (Guild Level is too low; cannot be summoned at this time!)]
’Saintess?! A Super Rare Trait?!’
