And the next day.

"I need more."

The saintess secretly asked for the healing stone again.

In the end, on the third day, the pope had no choice but to take out even the high-quality healing stone that was in his possession.


"Thank you for keeping your words that you support me with anything. I have to do my best, too."


As the saint said that and swept her glum eyes as if condescending, so he couldn't bear to say that it was more difficult to apply.

'I'm sure she won't use all the divine power inside that healing stone.'

That night, the Pope, who somehow went to bed with a bitter heart, woke up in the middle of the night, startled.

Whoops---!

It was because of the huge explosion that suddenly resonated outside the residence.

"Pope! An intruder appeared before us!"

Soon, pale priests came pouring into the Pope's residence.

"Intruder?!"

Quaang---!

This time, the sound of something collapsing shook the earth. The temple building was on the verge of collapsing, so the pope put on only his cloak and hurriedly escaped.

"Hey, that person!"

The pope was astonished. Not too long ago, Maurice, he was the new priest whom he had appointed as the leader...!

"How the hell did that evil thing break into the temple?! Even though the paladins are closely monitoring and checking their identities every time through the holy water!"

It was a very wicked demon. And Priest Maurice, who wore the demon's horns, was being beaten by the saintess without a chance to breathe.

In the first place, Isidore didn't like my trip to Helleia. It was because he guessed that if there were any remaining powers of the rebellious black wizards, there was a high probability that they would be in Helleia.


"It seems that there is a force in Helleia that incites the people."

"What kind of incitement?"

"The saintess should consecrate not only the capital city, but also to Helleia. There is a Great Temple in Helleia, which is also the hometown of Saint Nyla."

"Hmm..."

"It seems plausible at first glance, but there's an overheated part."

"To dare instigate the people by spreading public opinion like that..."

"Yes. Maybe he's trying to figure out how this side will react."

"Why?"

"This is just my guess, but the insider, who knew that the color of the holy object had become muddy, probably assumed that the state of the princess would not be normal either?"

"......!"

"Also, from what I've experienced, the black wizard have taken advantage of the dark under the lamp."

"The temple is a typical blind spot."

"Yes. It's an autonomous territory, so the empire can't send troops without a special reason."
