Capítulo 1078: Chapter 432: Love Tribunal
The following morning.
The Battle Nun rose from her single dormitory bed, her eyes still carrying a hint of daze.
Although she had hurriedly returned here just before dawn, took a quick wash, and slept for only a few hours, she should have been utterly exhausted. Yet the biological clock she had developed over years as a Combat Professional still woke her like precise machinery at dawn.
Recalling the events of last night now, a strong sense of unreality surged into her heart like a tide.
The previous Divine Knowledge Saintess had once asserted that there would never be a day when the Eternal Holy Sword would be unsheathed. Yet, Lady Saintess had nonchalantly drawn it from the swaying bloom at her waist.
When the rapier first appeared, it carried a hint of illusion. But as the Saintess infused her vast Magic Power, the illusion condensed into substance. At that mont, it seed as though the sky darkened abruptly and all light gathered on the dusky blade, akin to flowing clouds and twilight glow.
Though this sword was not recorded in any legendary weapon compendium, any Church personnel who had visited the Dusk Cathedral would never mistake its essence.
It was the Cross of Light sealed within the Dusk Crystal since the Church’s founding, destined to appear only at civilization’s end, the Sealed End of the World Holy Sword.
Then the Saintess did the seemingly natural thing and drew it, holding it in her hand.
Reflecting on it now, the Battle Nun regretted not pursuing cultural studies at the Holy City Academy back then. She lacked the vocabulary to fully describe the impact she felt.
However, despite the accompanying Priest having done Academy Enrichnt for missionary purposes, he too was left speechless, rely kneeling long on the ground, tears flowing.
It seed the inability to speak wasn’t due to my limited vocabulary.
After all, I’d once consoled the girl who was lost before becoming a Saintess.
And after summoning the Holy Sword, Lady Saintess gently pierced it into the towering crystal statue before her. As Magic Power infused, the statue’s aura beca deeper and more vast.
Finally, even the rapier that had been just crystal sculpture in the statue’s hand emitted a twilight hue identical to the Holy Sword, and only then did the Saintess, slightly fatigued yet satisfied, reverse her Transformation.
Having completed the statue’s creation, she invited the squad of four to pray beneath it.
This gesture was both a ans to leave humankind’s aura here for the Flower Field Master to reference and a reward for their steadfastness.
Is such an honor truly ant for to enjoy…
Though a fleeting doubt flashed in her heart, she knew this was an opportunity that must not be missed. Without much hesitation, she knelt on one knee beneath the Church emblem, as she had done countless tis before, offering her most sincere prayer to this newborn Holy Artifact.
And the result of that prayer…
Having washed her face with cool water, the Battle Nun deeply inhaled the crisp morning air.
Her Magic Power flowed through her body, and she looked down at her Second Transformation Stigmata.
The originally standard Stigmata now shimred with a golden Radiance and bore intricate patterns previously absent.
With just a single prayer, her Professional Mark had transford.
Of course, this isn’t an unprecedented phenonon. The Holy Artifacts in the grand cathedrals of the Holy City, steeped in centuries of faith, also have similar effects. This is why countless professionals flock to the Church.
The Professional Mark is a seed of Magic Power, capable of opening the Gate to the Extraordinary Realm for those born lacking magic.
Additionally, the mark is a treasure trove of knowledge, containing experiences of predecessors, combat skills, magic utilization thods, and knowledge essential to professions.
These insights aren’t re text or visuals but a form of “muscle mory” that through Magic Power flow, perates the professional’s entire being, enabling them to master complex skills at remarkable speed.
This is why the Kingdom vigorously promotes the guild system and why humankind has risen rapidly on a continent rampant with Magic Creatures.
The professional marks of the Six Major Guilds vary greatly, even within branches of the sa guild. They continuously evolve, guiding future generations towards easier paths.
Rumor has it that the Kingdom’s black market harbors illegal marks infused with evil knowledge, allowing Professionals to reincarnate into Taboo professions.
Thus, although the fundantal functions are similar, the actual value of Professional Marks greatly differs based on the amount of information.
Though the assistance provided by marks generally caps at Legendary, no matter the high-tier marks, there’s no guarantee a Reincarnator can reach Legendary.
But this doesn’t change the fact that so people start at different points in their reincarnation journey.
Of course, Professional Marks can be updated and modified post-acquisition.
However, the foundational marks promoted by Professional Guilds — like the one she possesses — receive Kingdom subsidies and are affordable.
For most, updating or modifying marks often implies high private customization costs, far less economical than simply going for guild enrichnt or striving for imdiate reincarnation.
Besides spending money, altering marks requires either reincarnation or the acquisition of rare opportunities, such as recognition by a Holy Artifact.
