Chapter 454: A Priest’s Actual Routine … Kinda. [Release Version]

“Wake up, little blessed!”

“Mgrrgh?” My head shot up from my soft, silky pillow, turning around as I pried my half-asleep eyes open. My instincts kicked in as my ears perked up and my tail quickly pulled my blanket off me without harming the fabric, readying itself to defend me despite my grogginess.

Sound continued stimulating my eardrums, jogging my head slightly awake as I drew my attention to the door where my cloudy vision visualized three figures. I took a q...

Going on Vacation Notice

Hey everybody,

I just wanted to inform you guys I will be going on plane to visit my grandparents soon. The flight will take a while, and I would also like to have some time for the family reunion, so the next chapter will take a while. I'll continue the chapter releases during my vacation whenever I can, of course.

In addition, this is also a good time to let my fingers rest. Book 2 should be almost finished and Book 3 Manuscript is currently been edited. Since I need my fingers ...

Chapter 453: Beasts Unwanted. [Release Version]

I rarely got the chance to appreciate the fur on my arms and legs, but along with my coat and my red scarf made from Hestia’s mana, they really did make me feel warm and cozy despite the shivering temperatures. Looking up at the clear afternoon sky and then back down to the mud-stained snow blanket around me reminded me a bit of our stay in Carine village. Being able to meet the villagers again after one of Hestia’s concerts made me feel nostalgic, and I could only imagine how Lorena and ...

Chapter 452: All Around Me Are Familiar Faces. [Release Version]

Not a song, but an instrumental version of "The Edge of Dawn" from Fire Emblem: Three Houses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQqZewq952c

“C-Champion Hestia!”

Both white-robes jerked back, instinctively moving behind their knights and grey-robe attendants—which also meant they moved away from Amadeus, and that was all that mattered right now. From a quick sca...

Chapter 451: Skipping the Dialogue Options. [Release Version]

Silence. Everybody inside the room fell silent at my statement. Looking between the knights standing inside the aisles and the priests looking at me with slacked jaws inside the crossing and chancel part of the basilica, I could only snort dismissively before I started walking forward, agitating the knights.

Seeing this, Tasianna, Ellaine, Yorshka, the twins, and Mirdirn flanked me like bodyguards, eyeing them with quiet hostility. The students then moved behind us upon Saori’s prompt...

Chapter 448: Haitiri, Ranger General of Saelariel. [Release Version]

“What the—?” My eyes were glued at the scene presented before me, where all I could see was just mounds of rubble and bodies—both from monsters and people. This blackmarket was just thriving a moment ago, but it had been decimated and left … lifeless.

“Don’t worry, Wisperia and I managed to get the slaves out before all of this happened. Avoided them all with my arrows.” The woman responsible scratched the neck of her treant owl, looking proud at her handiwork. “One ra...

Chapter 447: Information Trap. [Release Version]

<[Shadow Armament (Full Body)] [Various Spell Buffs] [Sacrilegious Master] [Bloodlust (1 kill)] inflicted on [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir], Saori Segawa]>

[“Sarasa, hunt!”] I called out.

“Whrooooh!”

As we jumped down into this hole, I summoned Sarasa from my shadow cast by Hestia’s [Sacred Field], giving my werewolf fenrir a chance to catch up with those fleeing scoundrels. With [True Wolven Instinct] merging both [N...

Chapter 446: Crimson Saintess Versus Fire Blessed. [Release Version]

When the music drops, start the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v-8Cch2kWg

“Woah!” I yelped as I felt [Foresight] activate once again, only this time it came from behind me.

My body fell backwards as I felt a foot sweep my feet out from under me, helping me narrowly avoid the arrow. Yet, as I was about to land on my back, I noticed t...

Chapter 445: Search for Our Prey. [Release Version]

“Wait, hold on, we shouldn’t?” I raised a brow.

“This isn’t Shaturein,” Vangrim answered. “In our undercity there are plenty of relatively innocent people; even those who steal to survive would be ‘innocent’ in my book. However, the Hirsana Marketcircle isn’t the same. This is a black market, where the only innocents are all slaves. Urchins? Dead, escaped, or enslaved; if they’re lucky, they are working for one of the gangs here and can survive as a ‘free’ pers...

Chapter 444: The True Reach of Shaturein’s Underworld. [Release Version]

Edit: Changes to Hestia's talk with Kushlek'zar, making it more clear what his goals and worries are and why he was against Hestia speaking up during the summit.

“So, you’re telling me—woah—that there’s the possibility that another Warbringer is coming at us?” I asked in exasperation as I parried a rapier thrust with my tail, giving me a window of opportunity to strike with my glaive.

So many annoying things! I co...

Chapter 443: The Envy Within the Cracks. [Release Version]

“My face!” Instead of worrying about his leg, the demonkin touched his face, staring down in disgust before his expression contorted from anger. “How dare you, Aurena’s dogs! By God Marsven, I am a—”

“A spy!” Ellaine shouted, ending his sentence for him.

By grabbing the mana thread holding the blades of her sword together, she used the leverage with her strength to pull the demonkin into the air before slamming him back onto the ground. As a dust cloud blew up, the...

Chapter 442: Griffonpeak Cathedral Revisit. [Release Version]

“There is nothing to congratulate me for.”

Eh?

Theodore laid down his book, sighed, and stood up. He held onto his amulet for a moment and looked at Fleindia and me, before bowing to the both of us. “Saintess Fleindia. Champion Hestia. I, Cardinal Theodore Samuel Sirius, welcome you to the Cathedral of the Goddess on this fine WaterDay. May your wellspring of life be ever filled with joy.”

Right, we forgot to properly greet him. In fact, as blessed, we weren...

Chapter 441: Cultivating the Idol Culture of Peolynca. [Release Version]

Edit: Emergency edit for the ending part, for the sake of flow. The new ending fits better with what was told in this chapter, so I had to pivot in the last second.
