Chapter 495 – Assassination Family Raven 5 (26)

***

When Xian fell asleep in Caderal, separating the space with a shadow from the space where no one would come, Yui continued to pray at the temple of the Goddess religion.

I prayed a quick prayer every morning to shake off the guilt that had built up in my heart, but I was a little concerned about Sian’s recent confession that he had a wife with a child.

Would it be okay if the person who was experimenting with contraceptive magic with Temple Master Gwen and his own body was a married man with a child?

If Sian is going to be the head of the Raven family, wouldn’t it be strange for him to have multiple wives?

‘But that doesn’t mean I’m in love yet♥ I’m not even thinking about having children♥ If the experiment fails, and I end up having children, I’ll have them♥’

As he held his hands together in prayer, Yui felt heat rising to his lower abdomen.

I felt like other people would think I had a stomachache if I stroked my lower abdomen over my priestly clothes, so I deliberately suppressed the urge and focused on praying to the goddess again.

May the sins committed be forgiven, may the continent be peaceful in the future, and may Xian be able to stop the descent of the Demon King.

At the temple of the Goddess religion, Yui continued to pray with priestesses who looked like her.

With a sincere wish that the goddess would listen to his wish and make it come true.

Forgetting the passage of time, Yui skipped meals and continued to pray to the goddess.

And then I felt her warm energy surrounding me.

It wasn’t the feeling she felt when Xian tapped her shoulder, but when Yui slightly raised her head when she felt his warm energy surrounding her body, her location had changed. 〉

From the temple of the Goddess religion in Caderal to a pure white space where nothing exists.

“Huh…? Did you fall asleep?”

Yui pinched her arm slightly, and she didn’t feel any pain.

But she didn’t wake up from her dream, so she turned her head and checked her surroundings, but she was embarrassed because she was the only one there.

(Sigh… I never thought the connection would be this weak…)

As Yui was trying to figure out her situation, she heard a very small voice.

When she recognized the voice, she saw the blurry outline of a woman taller than her, and Yui knew whose voice it was.

“Meet the Goddess.”

Her entire body was made of subtle divine power, and the part that was believed to be her hair was dyed pink, indicating that the owner of her voice was a goddess.

Her outline was blurry, but Yui replaced it with the image of the goddess she saw every day, and the shape of her goddess clearly emerged.

A beautiful woman covering her body with a white cloth.

Her body was covered with a cloth that left her sides exposed, so I could see the shape of her breasts, waist, and buttocks, and I felt she looked a bit like Gwen Temple.

(It just resembles the body of a beautiful woman you think of.)

“Oh. Is that so…?”

Yui bowed her head to her goddess who read and spoke her thoughts.

As the goddess approached Yui and placed her hand on Yui’s head, she felt her mind become clear.

(I had no intention of intervening like this, but I never thought he would make the saintess candidate his own.)

Yui blinked her eyes wide when she heard that she was a candidate for sainthood.

“Goddess, am I…?”

Yui Even in her opinion, there were many reasons for her disqualification.

She gave her virginity, which she should have given to the man she loved, to her Sian in the name of an experiment, and she seemed to work harder doing things she enjoyed than helping others.

As Yui was thinking about why she should not become a saint, the goddess gently stroked her cheek.

(You can say that fate has already changed significantly. Heavenly God was right to react quickly.)

Yui swallowed her saliva as she heard the story of her fate and concentrated as best as she could to perfectly remember the goddess’ words.

(Recently, the only oracle we have given to humans is that ‘demons are dreaming of the coming of the Demon King’, and that oracle was given through the Celestial Church when Cyan Raven defeated the demon. The Celestial Church quickly became a hero after that. Candidates were summoned, and the hero candidates who were summoned earlier that day became surplus troops.)

“Is that really all? I heard there was a lot more to the oracle.”

The goddess smiled bitterly at Yui’s question.

(Yes, that is the only oracle we have given. The words borrowed from the mouth of a broken angel wandering around the Holy Kingdom cannot be placed on the same level as an oracle.)

Yui still doesn’t know exactly what the goddess said, but she wonders if the Holy Kingdom is in danger.
She had an idea.

‘Because I am truly receiving an oracle…’

Yui looked straight at the goddess, realizing that she couldn’t believe it was just a strange dream.

‘As expected, Yui was the most suitable candidate.’

Gwenna was also a candidate, but for her own happiness she excluded her and the person she ranked higher than Gwenna was Yui.

I summoned her spirit, erased all traces of her corruption from the space, made her head clean, and there was not a single complaint about her vision.

If she cursed and resented her Xian for deceiving her and taking her virginity, she was willing to make him her saint and give him strength, but such a future did not exist.

So, the goddess felt her deep regret towards Yui, who was able to look straight at her divinity, and she tried to hide that feeling and smiled.

(A broken angel will bring disaster to the Holy Kingdom. Even if it is broken, it can be said to be the worst opponent for angels and priests, so it will be difficult for Caderal, which has sent hero candidates to the outside and has greatly reduced the number of outsiders, to stop the angel. However, there is hope. If you use Cyan Raven’s power, you will be able to minimize the disaster.)

So, the goddess thought that the Pope’s judgment during the conversation between the Pope and the Holy King during the day was very good.

If the broken angel had been informed that Cian Raven had come to the Holy Kingdom and that he had killed four demons, the angel would have stopped mutating and looked forward to the next one.

Also, when Xian discovered the location of the angel while wandering around the Vatican, he returned without taking any action, which served as a clue to solving the case with minimal damage.

(It might be hard to remember everything I just talked to you about. So just remember. Yui, you are You must not leave the Holy Kingdom before resolving the disaster.)

The goddess held both of Yui’s hands, pressed her forehead against hers, and spoke as if engraving it in her mind.

Yui is used to keep Cyan Raven in Caderal.

“You must not leave the Holy Kingdom before resolving the disaster.“

(Then I will take off the shackles of sainthood that you originally had to carry.)

“Yes. Thank you, goddess.”

Yui thought for a moment whether shedding her saintly shackles would be good or bad for her, but she decided it was a good time.

When Yui blinked her eyes, having expressed her gratitude to the goddess, she was back in Caderal’s temple.

(You must not leave the Holy Kingdom before resolving the disaster.)

Something closer to a request than a trust was deeply engraved in her mind.

‘But the memories remain intact?’

Yui blinked her eyes and recalled what had happened a moment ago.

I really remembered everything from beginning to end.

‘Is it Xian’s influence?’

Yui knew that her sister-in-law had done something to her head, but she didn’t have much objection.

I feel a little sorry for being rude to Gwen when we have sex together, but I was able to have a very satisfying ‘experiment’ by being more honest about sex.

Survival Rules EX3. Choyulja

There was still no way for Xian to know that her skill, which allowed her to escape the interference of her fate and follow her own path, was affecting Yui, who was subordinate to her.

“This is a handwritten summary. I can’t give you any more information than that.”

I went to see King Seong at a time when I could use my full power, and King Seong handed me a piece of paper.

It was a paper listing areas where demons were suspected to have appeared across the continent, and looking at it like this, I was able to see how big the empire was.

It didn’t seem like it would take that long to travel from the Empire by taking a warp gate, but if you were to travel without a warp gate, you would have to plan your itinerary on a yearly basis.

“Shouldn’t I just watch it and memorize it right now?”

“There is no problem in taking it to the Raven family. Still, wouldn’t it be better to take it while it is up-to-date?”

It would be most efficient to send the Crow family’s intelligence agents outside the empire, but unfortunately, that method was difficult to use.

There were a lot of Hero candidates who had been dispatched to suspicious areas, and considering that they had just handed over what appeared to be a holy sword so that they could use it during the last fight, it seemed that not only the Celestial Church but also the Celestial Gods were not friendly to the Raven family.

Thinking that I would have to jump to my feet, I folded the paper and put it in my arms.

“Cian Raven, are you going to leave Cathedral now? We want to protect the oracle without any bloodshed.”

The Imperials will bring disaster to Caderal.

I hesitated for a moment to answer because I have a quest to destroy Godsworth and I know where it is.

I looked at the Holy King’s face for a moment and answered slightly late.

“… Yeah. Because there are a lot of places to go.”

He completely erased his appearance and presence with a shadow and escaped from the Holy King’s office.

Because of my momentary hesitation, it is clear that the Holy King will not believe what I say and will further strengthen the security of the place where Godsworth is.

If Yui wasn’t in Caderal, I would fight right now by attacking the sacred shield and recovering using the Yeonyeong Shinkuk (連影神功), but not now.

“Brother, I received an oracle. It says that we must not leave the castle before the disaster is resolved.”

“Really? Then I guess I’ll have to stay until then.”
