Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 533 Saint
Outside the Val Fortress, above the river valley.

When the breeze blew, the girl in the pure white cloak had her hair fluttering. She gazed calmly at a place not far away, at the ruined outline of the Val Fortress.

The gauze edge of the cloak just covered half of her face, so her complete features could not be seen clearly. Only a delicate, porcelain-like outline was left, which made people think of something.

She was on the reef bank of a muddy river valley before the Vaal Rift Valley.

As far as her eyes could see, there were rows of tents set up by the expeditionary army. They replaced the fortress walls and formed new, most solid ramparts and barriers.

"…Prandall should be back soon."

The girl opened her thin lips slightly and murmured softly.

She spoke softly, but her face behind the veil did not change, still maintaining her usual coldness and aloofness.

She is the "Saint" of the Holy Court of [Glory", the "Saint of Glory" Freya Mayerling.

As she stared at the ruined city wall, she was quietly waiting for one of her personal paladins, the "Sunfire Paladin" Prandall, to complete his report with the garrison of the Val Fortress and return to her side.

……

And three days before the "Saint" Franya arrived at the Val Fortress.

She was investigating another "scar" that had appeared in Everett Territory, another border territory of the Dark Principality.

In recent times - especially in the past month.

It is obvious that the seal of the [Abyss] has become increasingly loose, and more and more abyss beasts and demons have broken out of the seal. The "Holy Court" has also received more and more clues about the emergence of the [Abyss].

In the core city of Everett, where Franya was previously located, Komodo City, the Empire's expeditionary force had beheaded the three executioners stationed there, and then captured and stationed in Komodo City.

However, due to negligence - or lack of key intelligence, the city collapsed on the third day after it was captured. Hundreds of "wounds" appeared on the ground of Komodo City, and countless abyss beasts and demons poured out, causing more than half of the expeditionary force stationed there to be killed or wounded in an instant.

This is a very serious and vicious incident.

Two "True Ancestor Demons" even emerged from the "Scar" of Komodo City. Within half an hour after the seal was broken, they killed and devoured a bishop and a high-ranking deacon who were stationed at the edge of the "Scar" in Komodo City.

The two "True Ancestor Demons" who had quickly recovered their strength immediately led the other Abyss Beasts and Demons that had "wounds" to attack the official residence.

The surge of the Abyss killed a Grand Inquisitor from the Supreme, a Knight of Divine Seal, and a Sage Attendant from Wisdom who were holding a military meeting in the official residence.

At that time, all the saints stationed in Komodo City of the expeditionary force were wiped out, and in the end only a few extraordinary people with the "quadruple destiny" escaped.

At that time, Franya was in the territory of Everett.

Half a day after the "scar" of Komodo City was broken and the "True Ancestor Demon" appeared, Franya received an urgent notice.

Originally, she was investigating clues about another "original demon" that she had killed before... but seemed to have new activities inexplicably. After receiving information about the emergence of "scars" in Komodo City, she led the Knights Templar named "God Hunter" to Komodo City.

And the "Saint" Frenya, with the cooperation of one "Eternal Knight", three "Sun Knights" and twelve "Shining Knights", defeated the two "True Ancestor Demons" and thousands of Abyss Beasts and Demons entrenched in Komodo City.

However, before she could deal with the "wounds" of Komodo City, Franya was greeted by "Senior Deacon" Hubert, who reported to her on behalf of the Songyuan Expeditionary Force.

The bishop whom he had met once...now the "Archbishop" Rossu Carlos, presided over the "Divine Revelation" ceremony, and saw that in the Val Fortress where the Songyuan Expeditionary Force was about to launch an attack, there would be two "True Progenitor Demons" and even an "Original Demon"!
For Franya, this is truly a case of one problem after another.

As soon as the Saint received the emergency information about the Val Fortress, she asked a "Sun Knight" and six "Glorious Knights" to stay in Komodo City to deal with the aftermath, and then took the other Templar Knights of the "God Hunter" Templar Order to the Fafnir Territory - Val Fortress. When Frenya first arrived at the river valley in front of Val Fortress, she was actually surprised at first - because she did not feel the strong breath of the [Abyss] dark erosion in Val Fortress.

She was still staring at the ruined walls of the Navar Fortress at the end of her field of vision.

"But... Val Fortress, Davild and the newly promoted archbishop seem to have solved the problem."

"What do you think, Mr. Monine?"

"..."

Franya turned her head slightly and asked softly to the golden-haired and gold-armored Templar Knight standing next to her - to the "Eternal Knight" Monine.

……

"..."

"indeed."

"Eternal Knight" Monine, leaning on the "God-forged" holy sword surrounded by the holy ring of inscriptions, which she held tightly in both hands, nodded slightly.

She is the ruler of the "Holy Court" - the "Holy Crown" Pope Lorend Mayerling, an eternal knight personally appointed to accompany and protect the saint.

She is also the strongest of the entire "God Hunter" Knights Templar, [Glory] Seventh Fate "Sword of the Holy" Monine Scardia.

Ever since the Saint returned to the imperial capital and the "Holy Court" from Songyuan Territory four months ago, Monine has been following her.

She witnessed no less than a hundred "wounds", and during the time she traveled with the Saint, she personally judged hundreds of "superior demons", twelve "true ancestor demons", and one "original demon".

The "scars" where these high-ranking demons emerged - the towns, fortresses or settlements where they appeared were basically killed or devoured by the horrible disaster. Only a few, like the Val Fortress, where the "True Ancestor Demon" appeared, did not cause large-scale casualties to the expeditionary force.

Monigne was grateful.

Out of the mercy and compassion of [Glory], Monine devoutly believed that the expeditionary force stationed in the Val Fortress was able to escape the devastating disaster because of the protection and blessing bestowed by the Sun in an instant.

And now.

Monigne really wanted to meet the "Archbishop" who was gradually becoming famous in the "Holy Court".

That "Roshu Carlos" - he must be the Apostle of God named by Da Ri Xuyou.

Because of his presence, and because he firmly adhered to the will of the "Divine Revelation", his fellow expeditionary forces in the Val Fortress were able to survive.

Moreover, because of his presence, he didn't have to face the "True Demon" or even the "Original Demon" again, which really saved him a lot of trouble.

"Eternal Knight", "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine Scadija thought this sincerely.

to be honest--

She really didn't want to... not even once, see those alien, twisted, and extremely blasphemous demons again.
