Chapter 55: Holy Kingdom
Iriel continued to speak.
However, Saint, you possess the Circle, so there shouldnt be any issues. Just remember that the existing mana will vanish.
So, if the mana in my body vanishes and is replaced by divine power will the mana never return?
Iriel wore a troubled expression at Rays question.
Should she tell him, or should she not?
Once the mana vanishes even the Circle wont be able to function properly
She repeated these words in her mind. The Circle filled with mana was forcibly purged and then replenished with divine power.
If the Circle remained completely unscathed during this process, it wouldnt make sense. The Circle, which would have sustained a significant hit, would function fine when using divine power, but if it attempted to use mana again, it would likely shatter.
How was she to explain this?
Observing Iriel grapple with a complex expression, Ray stated,
It doesnt return, does it.
It seems like if the mana didnt vanish, I could have harnessed the divine power What a pity.
Realizing that the mana didnt return, Ray understood that divine power must also possess a quality that couldnt be captured in the same manner.
He, who had intended to forcibly wield divine power at his discretion, had no option but to abandon the idea of using divine power.
He gazed at the sky with regret.
Of course, she, oblivious to Rays inner thoughts, could only assume that he was steeped in sorrow.
Iriel didnt know how to react.
St Saint, its still okay to use divine power.
As she spoke, she conjured a small, yellow light in her hand.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
I wont be able to cast spells, but still!
The more she spoke, the more she realized that magic was akin to omnipotence.
Divine power specialized in healing and fortifying, but to attack, one had to draw out aura from divine power like Iriel did.
On the other hand, magic was superior in various aspects, including attacking, healing, strengthening, defense, weakening enemies, and crafting magical tools.
Iriel was in awe. It indeed seemed like a technique that imitated the gods.
But she immediately shook her head to dismiss the thought.
What is the use of being in awe now?
Now was the time to console, not to be amazed.
In the worst case, the Saint might have turned away from this place.
However, Rays expression was calm. Naturally, there was no sorrow, so there was no reason for him not to be calm.
Unlike Iriel, who was fretting, Ray yawned widely and coolly.
It seems well arrive at the Holy Kingdom soon.
At Priest Geols words, Iriel tilted her head.
Shouldnt it take another day to get there?
To that, Priest Geol shook his head.
Weve come quite fast even while being chased by monsters.
Ray nodded his head.
They had run straight through the few villages without stopping.
Naturally, it was about time they arrived. If there was still a long way to go, he wouldnt have been able to sit still.
It seems we will arrive at the border in the afternoon.
Then, as soon as we arrive at the border, lets head to Selonia.
Do you mean to head straight to the castle?
The baptism ceremony has been delayed too much. We cant delay any further.
Was there a time limit for the baptism ceremony? Ray quietly listened to their conversation.
Understood. Then, we will head straight to the capital.
Please.
After Priest Geol lightly bowed and walked away, Ray asked.
What does it mean that we dont have time to delay the baptism ceremony?
Its as if someone is timing us.
Iriel replied to his words.
Take care, everyone. See you in two days.
Ray also greeted them.
As he waved and spoke, they answered loudly once more.
Yes!
Yes!
Iriel grumbled as she watched them.
I was the one who gave them a holiday, but why do they seem more thankful to the Saintess?
At her words, the dispatched soldiers quickly vacated the area.
Then, we took our leave.
We would see you at the baptism ceremony.
Iriel chuckled at their hasty departure.
We should go too.
Ray, who had been engraving the sight of the city into his memory, came to his senses at her words.
I would have to live here for several years.
Although he had just left the Kingdom of Sillia, Ray erased several faces from his mind as he stepped into the city.
After sending a messenger to the Pope and briefly reporting his return, Iriel continued walking down the hallway.
Was every palace like this? The extravagance was no joke.
The Kingdom of Sillia, the Duchy of Silos, and now the Holy Kingdom.
She didnt understand why they needed so many expensive jewels to serve God.
After passing several rooms and moving to the back, a building with a beautiful lake came into view.
Iriel spoke.
This is where the Saintess will reside.
Ray tilted his head.
What he saw was not a room, but a huge mansion.
He asked Iriel.
Which room is it among those?
Instead, she looked at him as if he was strange.
You can sleep in any room you want, but
Uh?
This mansion is the residence of the previous Saintesses. Of course, it is now the possession of the Saintess.
Ray swallowed unconsciously. It was hard to differentiate whether they were serving God or money, judging by the splendid exterior. It was beyond his expectations, and this was too much.
He had just received an enormous, luxurious mansion.
Unperturbed, Iriel continued speaking.
The mansion you see next to us is where I reside. We are both saints, so it doesnt matter, but normally even the Pope needs permission to enter the saints residences, as they are strictly controlled.
That made sense. How could the Pope, the representative of God, casually enter the residences of the saints?
The hired servants were all from confirmed and distinguished backgrounds, so you didnt have to worry about secrets being leaked. Ah, and for the next two days, education would be provided at the Saintesss mansion.
Education?
Ray asked, and she nodded.
First, you would receive education related to the baptism ceremony. After the ceremony, there would be training on etiquette and regulations, so please take note.
He nodded.
Studying had originally been his main major. Even in the modern world, his demonic memorization skills had made him an unparalleled genius in studies.
It seemed like it wouldnt be different in this parallel world.
But there was something on his mind.
He asked with a maybe-kind-of hope.
So, who would be educating me?
Iriel looked at him as if asking why he was only asking this now and puffed out her chest.
Then, she put on a very intellectual expression and smiled in her unique way.
Its me.
Rays expression crumpled in an instant.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
