Immortal Creed
Chapter 89: Divine Art
"Do you think this can be mortgaged?"
Seeing the nun's speechless expression, Liens reached into his Pouch and pulled out the wooden Card, handing it to her.
This was probably the most valuable item he had on him.
However, since it was just a freebie anyway, he didn't mind selling the alchemy wooden Card issued by the Glenbagen Family on the spot.
"Hmm? You're an Dark Guard of the Glenbagen Family? No wonder you're dressed in black and look so murderous."
"It's just, shouldn't your job make you very rich? How can you not even produce a single gold coin?"
"And this thing isn't worth much… Never mind, you seem to be in a hurry, so let's just do it."
The nun picked up the wooden Card, examined it for a while, and then said.
"Follow me."
The nun waved her hand, signaling Liens to follow her, and then she stepped towards the back room of the church.
Liens gripped his longsword slightly tighter and followed the nun's steps.
Although the nun's attitude was very good, he was still unsure if this was just a delaying tactic on her part.
Knowing a person's face but not their heart, he didn't yet have the ability to see through people's intentions.
Perhaps her previous words were just to lure him to a less crowded place before dealing with him?
Therefore, he couldn't relax his guard; a battle might still occur later.
The nun and Liens walked one after the other towards a certain part of the church, and along the way, many nuns and priests cast curious glances at them.
Before long, the nun led Liens to a quiet room.
The quiet room was not large and had no windows; the lighting inside relied entirely on a magic stone lamp to provide soft light.
Mysterious-looking circular magic arrays were also drawn on the floor of the quiet room.
"Don't look, that thing is just decoration; its purpose is to make you Adventurers feel like your money was well spent."
"Uh… I spoke out of turn, never mind, you're not an Adventurer anyway."
The nun saw Liens looking curiously at the "magic array" on the ground and explained to him impatiently.
"Sit in the middle of that 'magic array,' I'm going to start 'exorcising' you." Enjoyingthestory?Findmoreat*.
The nun urged Liens.
Upon hearing this, Liens obediently sat cross-legged in the empty space in the middle of the "magic array."
Seeing that Liens was ready, the nun placed her hands on her chest and began to pray.
"God, please bestow the radiance of evil expulsion."
The nun whispered.
As the nun's words fell, a dazzling white light began to emanate within the quiet room; the white light gradually brightened, finally appearing like a high-powered light bulb in the quiet room.
Because it was too dazzling, Liens had no choice but to close his eyes, no longer observing the nun's prayer.
Then, he felt something warm pass through his body, and subsequently, his body seemed to lighten a little.
Soon, the ritual seemed to end, and the white light in the quiet room also disappeared; Liens opened his eyes and looked at the nun, who had finished her prayer.
"I didn't expect you were really just here to experience it; I thought your so-called friend was just an excuse."
"Isn't there a saying, 'I have a friend,' which refers to oneself?"
The nun looked at Liens, who was sitting on the ground, with a surprised expression.
She hadn't expected that someone would actually waste a gold coin just to experience the effect of a "divine art."
"Are you an Extraordinary One?"
Liens looked up at the nun in front of him and asked her in a calm tone.
"We are merely followers of God; how can there be talk of being Extraordinary?"
The nun responded with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, Liens's gaze towards her became even more serious.
This was the first time he had seriously observed the nun's appearance; before, he had only generally noted her figure, looking for vulnerable spots to attack.
She was very beautiful, and her smile was very approachable and sweet; her amber eyes were like gems.
She wore a nun's habit that was predominantly light white, and her long, tea-colored hair flowed down her back.
She was very young; if Extraordinary Ones didn't have any age-preserving abilities, Liens estimated she shouldn't be over 25, possibly under 20.
Hmm… her figure was also very good; although the nun's habit was very loose, it was still clear that she was well-endowed.
Of course, appearance was only key to remembering a person, but it was not Liens's main focus.
"Are you very strong? I want to know what your strength is like?"
Liens issued a challenge to the nun.
After speaking, he drew the longsword from his hand, looked at the nun, and waited for her reaction.
Kara City is indeed a big city…
He had only been back for less than a day, and he had already encountered two Extraordinary Ones; he was truly lucky.
However, she also probably understood why that "exorcism ritual" was so expensive.
To ask an Extraordinary One to act, there must be a starting price.
"It seems that even if you haven't been corrupted by an evil god, your mind isn't very normal."
"Indeed, engaging in work that takes other people's Lives, an abnormal mind, might even be a very normal thing."
"But… please calm down."
"Imprisonment!"
The nun showed a helpless expression regarding Liens's behavior.
As the word 'Imprisonment' fell, four white pillars of light appeared around Liens, striking at his limbs.
And before the "divine art" was even activated, Liens, instinctively anticipating danger, quickly jumped away from his original position.
As the pillars of light appeared, Liens swung his sword at one of them.
Without surprise, he didn't hit anything; the longsword passed through the white pillar of light as if it were passing through air.
Seeing that his probing had no effect, Liens was not discouraged; he changed his strategy, pushed off with his legs, and rapidly approached the nun.
The quiet room was not large, and Liens's sprinting speed was extremely fast, so almost in the blink of an eye, his longsword was about to strike the nun's body.
"Sanctuary!"
The nun stood quietly in place, chanting softly.
"Clang."
Liens's strike hit a light white translucent barrier, emitting a sound like metal colliding.
"Multiple Imprisonments!"
The nun again uttered a short phrase.
As the words fell, pillars of light came at Liens one after another.
Liens dodged, but the continuous pillars of light kept pursuing Liens, constantly falling within the quiet room.
Finally, because the space in the quiet room was too small, he couldn't completely dodge all the pillars of light and was struck on his left arm by one of them.
Then Liens felt a tingling sensation in his left arm, and subsequently, he couldn't control his left arm.
He could still feel the existence of his left arm, but he could only let it hang down and swing naturally.
Like a pendulum, it swung from side to side with his movements.
As the "Imprisonment Divine Art" ended, Liens stopped attacking because he realized he was completely helpless against the nun in front of him.
Unlike Adonis…
When facing Adonis, he could still fight him with real swords and spears.
But with the nun in front of him, she just stood there and said a few words, and he felt completely unable to resist.
Can't hit, absolutely can't hit…
"Mr. Dark Guard, have you calmed down?"
The nun smiled at Liens, seemingly completely unconcerned by his previous attack.
