Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 440

Lady Deoni, who arrived with Priest Mender, was not alone.

Not only the four companions sent by Seneran, but also the four additional people who are presumed to be the heretic judges who were with us when we robbed the demon worshipers last time, so a whopping 10 people come pouring in.

Even though he wore a hood to cover his horns, because the horns of demon tribes are so diverse, the bulging hairstyle looked perfect to attract attention in many ways.

Thanks to this, ‘Is the border of Etisel really okay?’ A question like the title of the same article passed through my mind for a moment… But since perfect surveillance doesn’t exist, I decided to do it.

Right now, even in the western kingdoms up there, there are a lot of idiots selling weapons to the orcs.

“It’s been a while, saintess. Is this the time of the revelation you were talking about?”

I had an experience worthy of being a comrade in my own way, so when I warmly welcomed her, the saintess, who pulled back her hood to reveal her gorgeous horns in perfect symmetry, looked at me with a strange expression and replied.

“I don’t know yet. But… you seem to have gotten stronger. I can feel the divine power, but what the hell happened?”

indeed. There’s no way our saintess doesn’t know that even a crazy self-destructing saintess notices it. But now there are a lot of eyes to see, so I just laughed it off.

“Go and talk. I’ll follow soon.”

No matter how close to the house it is, it’s hard to go around unarmed, so I wore a needle bag around my waist, but other than that, I didn’t have any equipment, so I sent the saintess and the others to the demon temple and returned to the hut to get my armor.

At the word that the saintess had arrived, I finished preparing in Asili, and now I followed Laika, who had completely memorized the route and led the way, to the temple.

It was clear that Seneran had expressed that he wanted to talk only to the people concerned, as the men who escorted Priest Mender were also outside.

Now that I’ve become familiar with myself, I greeted them appropriately and entered the temple. The saintess and other people who had been inspecting the temple with serious expressions turned their eyes to me.

“I heard the story through Brother Mender on the way. Let’s go to the altar. If you do as you said, you will receive a revelation. But… I hope others will wait here.”

While receiving the revelation, the target becomes defenseless.

Even if she wandered around with her armor and weapons equipped, she would have no choice but to maintain security as strictly as possible, as she was a saint of one church.

Apparently, Priest Mender didn’t come along either. There was no reaction, probably because I had already talked with Master and Seneran before I came.

Ashley nodded as if she fully understood and sat on a suitable rock and picked up Laika, so I waved lightly and followed the saintess.

As I entered the corridor leading to the altar, two of the four who followed me like bodyguards stopped and blocked the entrance. The remaining two thought they would protect the saintess at the altar, but after taking about ten more steps inside, they turned around and settled down.

“Weren’t they going all the way together?”

When I asked a question, puzzled by the unexpected reaction, the saintess replied with a more curious reaction.

“As long as we received Epaga’s revelation, Eldmia is not to be wary of. There might be an outside invasion, but there’s no reason to divide our forces.”

Of course, I have no intention of doing any harm, but I never thought I would trust it without much verification.

“…hmm.”

After thinking about it for a second, revelation to her and the other Inquisitors is, to me, ‘You’re there, motherfucker.’ It’s a sure enough proof, so I think it might be enough.

Arriving at the altar like that, I recalled my last experience and stopped at the line where I was not affected by the divine power, and the saintess approached the altar and closed her eyes without questioning whether she had already heard the story from Priest Mender.

“It may be only our church, but the first thing you learn in the process of becoming a saint is to respond to and communicate with the divine power.”

Then, in a quiet tone, he started talking about things he hadn’t even asked.

“If there are saints and saints of the past, they need their help. If not, they go through the process of constantly developing their abilities through the knowledge left in the church.”
“You weren’t able to receive revelations from the beginning, were you?”
“I receive it, but… it’s not a revelation, it’s an oracle. An oracle that I’m a saint.”

I heard that revelations are flexible, but oracles are not common because they are immutable, but if the first oracle you receive is that you must live as a saint unconditionally, it will be confusing in many ways.

Maybe you feel something similar to the absurdity that Siegfried felt?

“It can be said that as a result, the innate talent blooms explosively and the foundation for grinding teeth is laid. When you are ready to receive the revelation for the first time like that, the body reacts to the divine power first.”
“It’s interesting because it’s the first time I’ve heard of it. What’s your reaction?”

When I asked with half sincerity and half pretentiousness for a smooth conversation, Saint Deoni turned her calm gaze to me and murmured quietly.

“Nausea or dizziness.”

Then, tilting his head slightly to the side, as if asking if he didn’t feel anything, he asked for my answer.

I tried to lean to the side just in case, but her eyes followed me straight, and it made me feel very strange.

“…Are you saying I’m ready to receive a revelation?”
“I’m glad you understand so quickly. Come ‘in’. I’ll help you.”

With a light nod, Lady Deoni’s hand reaches out to me.

“In the past, only magical energy was felt, but now the divinity that is clearly felt is proof. Oh, I’m not talking about the divinity felt in other deity possessed.”

Just in case, I tried to take out the seed of the World Tree from my bosom, but the saintess immediately spoke up and blocked the source.

“It seems that Eldmia-sama’s innate divinity was sealed for some reason. I’ve never seen or heard of such a case, so even if you ask ‘why’, I have nothing to say. What’s certain is… the help of another divine being. He received this and gradually became accustomed to the divinity, and in the process, the seal inside cracked and the divinity leaked out.”

I don’t know how much power it has, though.

As I stood dumbfounded and unable to react properly, Lady Deoni sighed deeply and approached me directly, holding my hand and leading me toward the altar.

“I understand. It must be confusing. Even I, who have served Epaga for half my life and acquired the knowledge of the church, do not know about such a case, so I wonder how the person concerned feels. Believe that you have no thoughts, and please follow my guidance. After receiving the revelation, at least you will be able to solve more questions than you do now.”
“…Is that true?”
“…although there is the potential for more questions to arise.”

I laughed out loud when I saw the saintess speak frankly with her eyes wide open without letting go of her hand.

Just taking three steps had already brought me dizziness and nausea, but it started to ease a little bit as unknown warmth came from the hands held together.

“I wish I could tell why you needed such a twisted arrangement.”
“I want to know too. So please let me know when you receive the revelation.”

It may be to ease my tension, but seeing Saint Deoni smiling for the first time, I took a deep breath, knelt down in front of the altar, and prayed as I had learned.

“…You must have been praying sincerely. Your attitude is set.”

I wanted to tell her my experience in the territory of the world tree to the slightly startled woman, but for now I just decided to focus on prayer and quickly clear up my doubts.

Fortunately, perhaps because I had experienced it once, my consciousness quickly stabilized, and by the time the saintess’ touch touched my back, only a very slight sensation remained.

“Epagai. According to your will, we have arrived here.”

While even the sense of being on the ground becomes ambiguous, the voice of the saintess is definitely pierced in the ears. It was a very mysterious phenomenon considering that even my breathing became faint and I couldn’t even hear my heartbeat.

“Please make arrangements for this person.”

At the same time as the short recitation, you can feel the intense floating feeling and the sense of falling.

What follows is the feeling that the field of vision is open and the world turns white even though the eyes are closed.

I thought that all revelations seemed to share the same senses and space, so I made up my mind to prepare for the shock that would follow, but unlike the World Tree, no voice came out.

…failed?

[No, it’s a success.]

Without any exaggeration, both eyes opened.

Then, in a pure white space, a woman wearing a white dress was sitting on a spot that looked like a white throne, staring at me.

[How can I say I’m not good at God right in front of me… Well, I’ve heard the fucker, but it’s a new quibble.]

Two dark red horns and long hair like ebony, pulled back and braided.

Epaga, who had never thought about what she would look like, was perfectly normal except for her eyes that seemed to be burning white.
