The saintess I possessed had a head full of nonsense.

With the Saintess's authority, she would have access to quite a few books.

The bishop's incident was just a side story. Li Xuan's goal was to manipulate the waves, taking advantage of Christine's spell activation period to try and master the "Wave Explosion" from the Bible!

He used his saintly privileges to enter the library, scanning the list of books on the light screen in front of him with Christine's bright blue starry eyes.

In her inner thoughts, Saint Christine clearly had ideas about [Volatility Burst], so why did she ultimately choose the "healer" route?

the reason is simple.

Because during the period of her magical seal's explosive power, Saint Christine quickly and easily obtained the [Blessing of Courage]. Then, under the guidance of the Church, she developed a system centered on the [Blessing of Courage], leaving her with no extra time to research the [Wave Burst], or perhaps she gave up after a brief and unsuccessful attempt.

It's like you applied for jobs at Tencent and Ali at the same time, but Baidu sent you an offer first, which already meets your job requirements. Then you never opened your email again because you know you'll most likely only see credit card payment notices and spam emails like "Brother, look at my profile, I can land anyone nationwide."

Li Xuan, on the other hand, wanted to try using Christine's talent.

"I've got it." Gazing at the list of books before him, his bright blue eyes suddenly sparkled.

Beauty is a woman's greatest asset, and Claire has known since childhood that beauty can be used to gain advantages.

At the same time, a sentence during her formative years had a huge impact on her: repeating simple labor has no value.

Joining the Church of Light, she and the other nuns repeated meaningless work every day. With her ordinary sorcerer talent blending into the crowd, she could not see any bright future.

So she didn't mind using her body to gain short-term benefits from Bishop Isaac—even though she knew that a scumbag like Isaac would likely kick her aside once he got tired of her.

Claire is also well aware of her strengths—adaptability.

Isaac liked beakers, and she didn't mind showing a more proactive side than a prostitute. When Isaac showed disgust, she dressed up as an innocent girl and even changed her demeanor again and again in front of the mirror.

Through such efforts, she endured her disgust and served Isaac for several months before finally securing a place in a new project—the Saintess Project.

Christine's appearance rendered all her efforts futile.

This village girl from the countryside did nothing but win the approval of the head of the Saintess Project simply by virtue of her superior beauty and her suddenly awakened talent, [Holy Light].

Why? Jealousy once made her feel like her body was about to break apart, but even with the softest whispers in her ear, Isaac still told her that he was powerless to do anything about it in the short term.

However, Claire had another plan.

Gunfighting

This is a skill that priests or healers will learn in the early stages of the mage realm.

Lacking offensive means, they often prepare a mage pistol for self-defense.

Practicing the [Gunfight Technique] allows one to condense incantations such as [Trajectory Deflection] and [Bullet Amplitude]. The former can make bullets curve, while the latter can make bullets more powerful.

As a spoiled young master, Isaac didn't follow many family rules, but he knew that taking precautions on weekends could effectively reduce a lot of trouble.

Claire's goal was clear—to break free of Bishop Isaac's bullets and then make precise adjustments to achieve a hit.

The "Lord" of the Church of Light does not prohibit marriage between men and women in the church.

Although a scoundrel like Isaac would never marry her properly, if she conceived his child, she could at least live the simplest kind of aristocratic life.

After today's prayers, she went to the training ground behind the church as usual. If all goes well, she should be able to obtain the [Gunfighting Technique] seal in the next few days.

"what!"

boom!

Suddenly, a woman's soft shout and the sound of gunfire rang out from the training ground.

Claire wondered, shouldn't the nuns be busy at this hour? She was only spared those tedious tasks thanks to Isaac's permission.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide. She would never forget that voice, even in her dreams. As she quickly approached the training ground, a few blood vessels appeared in her beautiful pupils.

What did she see?

Saint Christine is actually practicing [Gunfighting] here?!

"what!"

Her black stilettos pounded heavily on the training ground. Christine's body and wrists trembled rapidly. From behind and to the side, her stunningly beautiful face was like a painting, her long, fair neck undulating with each swing of her pistol.

Even the beads of sweat flowing down her face shone with a pearly luster. In terms of both beauty and figure, Claire was once again certain that she had been utterly defeated!

Why is she practicing [gun-fu]?

Christine is a saintess, and the mage pistol provided to her by the church must be the kind with the [Precision Barrage] spell mark. What is the point of practicing [Gunfighting]?

Claire suddenly recalled some uncomfortable things.

During prayers today, Saint Christine made an almost impossible mistake, and was subsequently summoned to Bishop Isaac's office for a reprimand. She must have just come out of there.

Is it

Claire's pupils instantly became bloodshot!

A bastard like Isaac couldn't possibly not be after that bitch Christine; something must have happened in the office just now.

Yes, even if she is a saint, she is just the protagonist of a project that the church suddenly started. Christine finally realized that rather than becoming a saint in the church like a puppet, she would rather take this opportunity to become Isaac's lawfully wedded wife!

I recognized her at first glance; she was in the same line of work!

He used the [Trajectory Deflection] and [Bullet Amplitude] of the [Gunfu Technique] to achieve a precise strike, and then threatened Isaac with the fact that he had defiled the saintess, threatening to inform the church and force him to marry Christine, that despicable and shameless bitch!

With the Saintess position in front and Isaac behind, does she want to take away everything she has been working so hard to covet?

Jealousy and hatred clouded Claire Goss's judgment, and a surge of anger welled up in her heart.

If [Blessing of Courage] is suddenly cast behind Christine, her magical power and physical strength will suddenly experience a huge boost.

hum!

A pure white halo, filled with numerous biblical symbols, rippled around Claire's body, enveloping Christine's body within it.

"Yeah~"

Just then, Christine fired another shot. The sudden increase in power caused her to shatter the ground with her foot, and the violent swing of her right hand made her slam her uncontrollably onto the ground!

Seeing Christine fall awkwardly, Claire revealed a cold smile from an unseen angle, and said casually, "Oh, I'm sorry, Your Holiness, I was practicing [Blessing of Courage] here, and suddenly broke through, so the range has increased a lot."

She quickly pretended to help the woman who had fallen to the ground, but found that the woman was not moving at all.

Claire sneered inwardly, "Go ahead and kill yourself, you bitch!"

Just as she crouched down to help Christine up, the other woman's body suddenly erupted with a terrifying wave of energy, crushing down on every inch of her skin and sending her flying like a cannonball into the wall!

Ignoring the excruciating pain that felt like her body was being shattered, Claire's blood-red lips curled into a look of shock and anger. Her blood-red pupils were fixed on the figure slowly rising to its feet, and a mixture of horror and almost twisted jealousy welled up within her.

"This is a [Surge Burst]?!"

(End of this chapter)

8. Chapter 8: To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit; if you possess the "Mind's Eye"...

Chapter 8: To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit; if you possess the "mind's eye"...

[Ouch, that hurts like hell! I was wondering why my back was suddenly so hot—turns out someone's on fire! Ha! It's a [Surge Burst]! May that bitch die!]

[Oh ho ho ho, this saint's figure is indeed the most voluptuous in the church! Damn it, someone has taken over my body!]

Li Xuan scrambled to his feet somewhat awkwardly, while Saint Christine's little mouth continued to chatter incessantly.

Unexpectedly, "insight" could also be considered a "benefit" of the [Insatiable Greed] seal. The heavy blow from the fall caused the waves to surge like never before. In the instant when the saintess used her clever little brain to gain a lot of insights from the Bible, [Insatiable Greed] triggered a multiplier of about 30 times!

Desire is the beginning of misfortune. Greed is insatiable, but God will satisfy it. The Lord is merciful and equally gives every believer one chance to satisfy their desires—each person can only find one opportunity to satisfy their greed in the Bible.

As the one-time spell seal [Insatiable Greed] disappears, the spell seal [Wave Burst] also solidifies!

After falling, Li Xuan fell into deep thought and didn't notice Claire's approach. He excitedly used [Wave Burst], just like a primary school student using his grandmother's face to unlock the anti-addiction system and continue playing the game. Of course, even if he had noticed Claire, he would have used it anyway.

Fluctuations can actually erupt.

We skirted the edges as much as we could, and I knew I hadn't misjudged our company!

[Fluid Explosion]

Limitation: Fluctuations must be detected.

Effect: Unleashes an invisible wave of magical power, covering all directions of the body, at a rate of 130%. Cooldown: 10 seconds.

[No way, no way? Could it be that blind old man Chris is really teaching Sister Monica about the mysteries of wave energy?]

[Impossible, absolutely impossible!]

Is the Bible such a filthy thing? This should be a shortcut, just like...

Just then, Li Xuan looked at Sister Claire, who was still coughing up blood, with Christine's bright blue starry eyes.

[Just like Claire, who used her body to take a shortcut to Bishop Isaac—everyone knows that, right? Maybe she's the only one unaware that it's out in the public eye. After all, who would talk about these things in front of the parties involved? Ha!]

[Heh, I heard the spot for the Holy Maiden was originally hers. Looks like she has some resentment towards me?]

Miss Saint is good at using metaphors.

[Help Saint Christine retaliate against Sister Claire for her "heartbreaking" actions. Completing this event will reward you with a random status seal from the Bible.]

Miss Saintess is also very vengeful.

But that is exactly what I meant.

Da da da da!

Her stiletto heels clicked on the floor as Saint Christine swiftly ran to the wall of the training area, saying casually, "Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Claire, I was practicing [Wave Burst] here and suddenly broke through. It seems to like moving on its own."

Wow!

Claire spat out a small mouthful of blood, a hint of resentment flashing deep in her eyes.

I was just treating her the way she treated me, so why is she angry?

"【Wave Burst】is one of the rarest hand seals in the Bible. Once mastered, it is enough to prove a sorcerer's talent. If that's the case, does Christine still need to curry favor with Bishop Isaac?"

If she maintains this talent, she will become a true saint, not just a mascot.

Claire noticed that Christine was neatly dressed, which meant that nothing had happened between her and the rude guy.

She forced a smile: "My breakthrough affected the Holy Maiden, but I didn't expect it to help her break through instead. This is wonderful."

"Huh?" Saint Christine covered her mouth with her slender hand and said seriously, "The initial range of [Blessing of Courage] should be a distance that every priest should remember and control at all times. Miss Claire has not broken through it."

This is knowledge that Miss Claire must have reviewed countless times. If Miss Claire is so forgetful at such a young age, then I suggest you abstain from sex.

“Your skirt is all wrinkled, Your Excellency is so rude.” Christine straightened her skirt, a hint of undisguised mockery in her bright blue starry eyes, and a shadow seemed to fall over the smile on her beautiful face.
