----------
Outside Anvika, on the outskirts of the forest.
At so point, a grand and majestic silver-white barrier had appeared in the sky, enveloping the central area of the forest, rendering the interior undetectable from the outside.
However,
While the inside remained undetectable, the intense vibrations from Yumo’s earlier outburst of Shadow power had rapidly spread, affecting the surrounding area.
Near the edge of the forest, a Sunlight Division troop, close to the Forest, bore the brunt of the shockwave. Coupled with the previous terrifying beast wave, this group of about thirty mbers of the Sunlight Squad had lost their original grace and elegance. Their face and body were now covered in dirt, and their expensive attire was tattered...
The group lay or sat in the wreckage of their camp, gasping for air, occasionally casting frightened glances toward the central area of the dense forest.
Evidently,
After experiencing the two recent shocks, these mbers of the Church were deeply shaken.
These Sunlight Squad had co to the Forest primarily to protect the Girl of Destiny during her training. Strictly speaking, perhaps they were more there to serve the Girl of Destiny.
After all,
They had brought a multitude of cooking utensils and ingredients...
Moreover, more importantly,
The strength of the Saintess to be had now surpassed what it once was, making their protection unnecessary.
Their duty was to obey the Girl of Destiny’s commands and serve her well during her training.
Therefore,
Strictly speaking, ngxi wasn’t lying.
Her ability to quickly reach Yumo indeed had much to do with ’fate.’
...
As ti passed, the Church mbers, dazed by the shock, gradually regained their composure. A young church knight, nervously patting his chest, looked toward the distant sky canopy covering the central part of the forest:
"What’s that? What was that tremor just now?"
As he spoke,
The young knight looked to a blonde man beside him, Knight Commander Phillipe, for answers.
"That is the ’Radiant Sanctuary.’"
Facing his subordinate’s inquiry, Phillipe gazed thoughtfully into the distance, responding with so excitent:
"Radiant Sanctuary? What’s that?"
"Young man, you should pay attention in class. How do you not know such a famous technique?"
Phillipe glanced at the young knight beside him with a hint of disappointnt in his eyes.
The quality of new knights seed to be declining lately.
"’Radiant Sanctuary’ is a unique divine technique of the Holy Beast, covering several kiloters in its radius and creating a closed combat space. Inside this space, the Holy Beast and its companions significantly increase in strength. Additionally, the sanctuary has the ability to weaken the Shadow power. Back in the day, it was with this technique, along with the previous generation’s Saintess, that the Holy Beast managed to hold off Higanbana for so long."
"A skill of the Holy Beast? Does that an Miss ngxi..."
"Yes."
Phillipe nodded slightly, his eyes filled with excitent:
"Miss ngxi must have fully assimilated the Holy Beast’s power to use this technique."
Gazing at the magnificent light do in the distance, Phillipe was filled with emotions.
’ngxi…’
’Her growth is truly astonishing,’
’Not only breaking through to the seventh level so quickly but also gaining the recognition of the Holy Beast.’
More importantly,
ngxi, truly the Girl of Destiny, blessed by the goddess, even managed to receive the Holy Beast’s power! After the inheritance ceremony, ngxi will broke through to the eighth level, becoming one of the top powerhouses on the continent.
They had co to this remote wilderness primarily to help ngxi familiarize herself with her imnse new powers.
Phillipe always believed that ngxi was the savior prophesied, and seeing her rapid growth, his faith grew even stronger.
He almost felt like dancing with joy.
Of course,
Amidst his excitent, Phillipe was also puzzled.
"But, speaking of which... what was that massive tremor and beast wave just now?"
Rubbing his chin, Phillipe pondered aloud.
The frequency of ngxi testing her new skills was indeed high.
But,
Doing so suddenly in the middle of the night? That was quite unusual.
...
’Huh?’
’What’s that?’
However, while Phillipe was pondering, the grand light in the distance suddenly twisted and shattered into thousands of fragnts, scattering into the sky and vanishing with the wind...
"Hmm? Has the sanctuary been lifted?"
--
anwhile, in the center of the forest, as the brilliant light dissipated, Yumo regained consciousness, looking around in bewildernt and disbelief.
Honestly,
While Yumo’s mind had cleared, she still hadn’t fully grasped the situation.
The scene before her was beyond her expectations, incomprehensible. The events that had invaded her mind left her even more confused.
She had been consud by the Shadow power. Logically, the area around her should have beco a dead zone, devoid of life.
Yet,
The forest seed to have suffered minimal damage.
And,
’This girl, so close to , is unhard??’
After carefully sensing ngxi’s condition, Yumo was surprised to find that she hadn’t suffered any serious injuries. Her life force was still robust; she had just fainted from exhaustion. Seeing the silver-haired girl temporarily safe, Yumo withdrew her hand from ngxi’s forehead, knelt on the ground, and let out a relieved sigh.
"Phew... Good, she’s alright."
However,
Just after sighing in relief, Yumo crossed her arms over her chest, pondering a very serious question.
’When and how did this girl break through to the early eighth level?!!!’
’That’s too fast!!’
Yumo had already been shocked to hear that ngxi had successfully advanced to the saint rank. Now, just over a week later, ngxi had broken through to the eighth level?! Yumo was dumbfounded, continuously pinching her own face to make sure she wasn’t dreaming.
In Yumo’s original training plan for ngxi, breaking through to the saint rank was expected to take a year, and advancing from saint to divine being would take an additional seven years.
And now, ngxi had completed an eight-year plan in just over a week?!
"Oh my..."
Yumo blinked, feeling a mix of emotions.
Of course,
Not knowing about the inheritance from the Holy Beast, Yumo couldn’t comprehend ngxi’s miraculous progress rate.
She attributed it to ngxi’s status as the chosen one of this world.
"Is she really the protagonist of this world?"
’Such a rate of improvent and potential were indeed terrifying...’
’If this progress continued,’
’ngxi might indeed grow to my level and eventually kill to complete the trial...’
Moreover,
Thinking about the trial, Yumo frowned again. Regardless of whether she lived or died, she didn’t want ngxi to conflict with her dear children. Thus, Yumo was contemplating how to keep ngxi from targeting those kids.
And now, like a flash of inspiration, a bold idea popped into Yumo’s mind.
Although unsure how ngxi did it, her recovery of sanity was undoubtedly connected to her. Taking such a risk and expending her strength to help her, ngxi must truly like her...
So then,
"Let’s try this."
Yumo took a deep breath, making a decision in her heart.
’It’s like,’
’Rewarding her...’
’Of course!’
’It’s also for the greater plan!’
The next mont,
The black-haired girl, blushing slightly, clenched her teeth and nervously raised her hand, slowly unbuttoning her collar...
