"Here, drink this. This will heal the injuries in your body, Don't worry, it's not a poison or anything, in Chinese term, it's a godly dicine."
After saying that, Sheila gives the health potion into Angelica's hands while the latter was still confused about how the potion suddenly appeared in Sheila's hands before it was given to her. Looking suspiciously at the bloody red potion in her hands, Angelica couldn't help but thought, Is this even drinkable? Will I get poisoned if I drink this? I an, it looks bloody red, it's just a fruit juice, right? I don't see anywhere how it can be a godly dicine...
Though Angelica had her suspicion, she still opened up the cap and drink it due to the pain has beco unbearable for her. She will die, either way, be it by poison or the injuries on her body, so why not be brave and give it a try? If it's truly like what Sheila stated, that would be great. With such thought in mind, Angelica gulped the blood-red water down her throat. And not even a second passed before she could feel a heat spreading all over her body, especially on the injured part. With a stunned look on her face, Angelica stares at the injured part of her body speedily being healed as if she was watching a ti being rewind as the injuries slowly closing up and then, nothing more need to be said as her body is now fully healed.
"This is...simply impossible. The process can't be this...fast."
Angelica softly muttered to herself at how ridiculously fast the healing process goes, she had never seen such a magical dicine like that in her entire life, not even in her family's treasury that's for sure. The scene that Sheila had shown previously was truly an eye-opening to her, and now this, Angelica feels like it won't be a surprise if Sheila told her that she can even bring the dead back to life, so long as she had that godly dicine.
With her body now fully healed, Angelica materialized the handgun before seizing it in her hands as she looked at her surroundings cautiously. And before she noticed, Sheila had already equipped the mask back to her face with also a handgun in her hand as the latter opened her mouth and muttered.
"Are they your companions?"
"How can that be when their killing intent is so strong that even I can feel it?"
"Well, you know, it's possible that you did sothing that makes them mad, like a friend fighting with each other from ti to tis, is that not the case here?"
Right after Sheila finished her words, a group of n suddenly appeared and surrounded the two while holding onto a white cross in their hands. It was clear as day where they ca from just by judging from their church-like outfits, and though she was surrounded, Sheila couldn't help but make a joke about it. Thankfully these n appeared after Angelica was fully healed and if they were a few seconds faster, they would have seen what happened to Angelica a mont ago. Though Sheila already knows about it since she could feel their presence miles away before they get closer to her.
"Don't joke around, there's no way that these people are my friends, though I do know who they are."
"Angelica Ernest, the daughter of Milan Ernest, and a friend to our Saintess."
Suddenly, a man who seed to be in his 20s, with a clean-cut hairstyle and eyes that was as sharp as a hawk, walked from behind the surrounding n before interrupting in their conversation.
"Ehh, Saintess? You are a friend with one? Then are we good?"
Angelica looked at the masked person next to her with a visible confusion on her face for a mont as the voice coming from Sheila sounds so different than her real voice, but then a thought entered her mind before she put a smile on her face as she answered her question.
"I do, indeed. But these people didn't care about that at all, I don't think I need to tell you that. Anyway, I thought that the mbers of The Church are mostly killed after that one-sided massacred a while ago, but it appeared that you still have a few back-ups you left behind, huh?"
"Ah, that is partly our fault that we misjudge the creature's true capabilities which ended up in a humiliation defeated. That is indeed the case, though I can't help and wonder, why an important person such as you were around when we were attacked by that creature? Were you following us? That isn't the case, is it? I don't think Ernest Family would want to wage war on the Church, am I wrong?"
"Of course I was simply passing by on my tour trip, but you caused too much 'noises' deep within the mountain that I can't help but to check it out myself. But even so, waging a war, huh? I don't want to sounds like a jerk but, I don't think you have the power to mutter such a word to , after all, you are simply a priest and nothing else."
The Priest's face twisted when Angelica ntioned one of the things that he hates to hear the most. He was indeed just one of the many lowly priests within the Church but, that didn't an he didn't have any power at all. When he was sent into this far away region following after the Saintess for a 'mission', he had thought he was sent here was for babysitting the Saintess. And when his subordinates found out the target of their mission before the Saintess, the priest was elated and thought, If I can kill this creature without the Saintess's help, I would definitely get promoted higher into hericachy, and what cos with that didn't need to be said.
But when the battle truly begins, his greed was shattered to pieces by the ruthless reality in front of him. Even now, the priest was still fearful of that huge creature deep in the mountain and if not for wanting to know why Angelica was here, he would have already left the mountain long ago. Even more, the masked female next to her, after all, this person was the one who ca to rescue Angelica and used the chance to retreated while his subordinates were massacred by the creature. Before he leaves, the priest wants to know the identity behind the masked figure standing next to Angelica, no matter what.
