He even had a strong intuition that if he had just one thought, that powerful monster could tear through space, appear beside him, and fight for him.

That's pretty cool.

This sorcery is truly amazing!

Lynn wasn't the only one in a good mood at that moment.

Lisa, standing to the side, instinctively used her Appraisal spell on herself the instant the illusion collapsed.

She was completely stunned when she saw the data that appeared on the panel.

Name: Lisa

[Level: 38]

[Occupation: Punishing Nun]

【HP: 66%】

[Rationality: 63-91 / Your mental strength has frustrated the evil god's minion, causing it to abandon its hunt.]

My sanity level... jumped from 63 to 91?

It surged by 28 points in one go!

Lisa stared blankly at the string of numbers, her mind completely blank.

She stood there, stunned, muttering to herself.

"I need to go and tell Princess Anna this news."

Chapter Eight: A Late-Night Visit

"I need to go and tell Princess Anna this news."

Lisa, distraught, dropped those words and, without even tending to her wounds, turned and stumbled out of the room.

Lynn sat cross-legged on the bed until Lisa's footsteps completely disappeared before he slowly looked away.

He raised his hand, and a golden panel quietly appeared.

Name: Lynn

[Sanity Value: 117+/-]

[Upward fluctuation: 3 points]

[Sinking Points: 57]

really.

The number of points for rising and sinking can be increased through specific actions.

Enslaving a level 30 crippled angel increases the floating points by three.

Although the sinking points appear to have changed, the reason for the change is simply that the 17 points that rose were added in.

In any case, this time, Lynn was truly honest.

Before you truly mature, you really can't just randomly adjust your sanity points.

I was too careless the first time.

Anna told him that lowering his sanity would be risky, so he did the opposite and directly increased his sanity.

It seems that having 100 points of rationality is the safest option now.

Based on this, both increases and decreases are accompanied by unpredictable risks.

trouble.

but……

Lynn's thoughts raced.

Given Lisa's personality, she will definitely tell Anna everything about encountering the monster today, without missing a single word.

And Anna, after learning this news, is highly likely to take the initiative to come to him.

If we could get help from this saintess, perhaps... we wouldn't be unable to deal with monsters that appear due to changes in sanity.

Thinking of this, Lynn's tense nerves relaxed a little.

He glanced at the two booklets on the desk.

"The church should have a library or something, right? It seems I really need to find an opportunity to learn more about this world."

Although she said that, Lynn had no intention of leaving the house immediately.

The safest option right now is to stay in your room and meditate.

If nothing unexpected happens, Anna will come to find him soon.

He just needs to wait patiently.

……

Deep within the church lies a hot spring perpetually shrouded in warm mist.

This place was reserved for the holy maidens of all ages for their practice and rest; no one was allowed to approach without permission.

Anna quietly soaked in the spring water, the water level only reaching her collarbone. The thin white gauze she wore was already soaked through, clinging tightly to her perfect curves, appearing and disappearing in the misty steam.

She closed her eyes, seemingly meditating, with the holy light surrounding her gently, healing the hidden wounds she had sustained from her long struggle against the evil god's minions.

"Your Highness!"

Lisa's urgent voice broke the silence of the place.

She jogged over and suddenly stopped by the pool, her chest heaving violently from running so fast.

Anna slowly opened her eyes, her golden pupils showing no sign of displeasure at being disturbed.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, I have something important to report regarding Lynn!"

After listening to Lisa's excited and somewhat incoherent account, Anna's perpetually frozen, beautiful face revealed a look of surprise.

She stood up from the spring, letting the warm water slide down her white veil, and walked barefoot to the shore.

She reached out her hand to Lisa.

"Identification Techniques".

A blue light screen appeared before her eyes, and even Anna was stunned when she saw Lisa's sanity level.

[Sanity Value: 91]

A value that couldn't be healthier.

This means that I am not the most special one.

Perhaps anyone in this world whose sanity has been damaged can regain their sanity if they receive Lynn's genuine gratitude.

This discovery left Anna with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, she was delighted by this possibility.

If Lynn's abilities could be applied more broadly, then many of the church's predecessors, who were on the verge of collapse due to their fight against cults, might be able to find salvation.

On the other hand, Anna is very clear about the state of the world today.

Human hearts are unpredictable.

If others were to discover Lynn's special abilities, he would not become a savior; instead, he would be captured by greedy nobles and fanatical mages, imprisoned, studied, and drained of his last bit of value, just like a rare material.

In that case, how can we expect to benefit ordinary people who truly need help?

“Oh, right, Your Highness,” Lisa added as if she remembered something, “I just saw Lord Hayes, the chief mage advisor of the royal city, talking to Lynn.”

Hayes?

That old monster in the Royal City Mage Tower?

Anna listened without any further reaction, simply letting Lisa leave first.

"Go back now and keep a close eye on Lynn's movements. Report any suspicious activity to me immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Lisa respectfully withdrew, Anna returned to the hot spring, letting the warm water envelop her.

Her figure appeared somewhat lonely in the pervasive mist.

……

The feeling of meditation is wonderful.

Once his mind was completely absorbed, Lynn almost forgot the passage of time. He could clearly feel the active elements in the air joyfully flowing into his body, slowly circulating throughout his body, nourishing his somewhat frail physique.

"Dong dong."

A soft knock on the door roused him from his meditative state.

Lynn opened her eyes and instinctively looked out the window.

It was completely dark outside.

"It's dark already? So fast?"

He actually meditated for an entire day.

I don't know what my current skill level is, or if I can try to learn some basic attack spells.

Lynn knew very well that he was able to successfully release the [Bound Codex] not by relying on the elemental power within his body, but by another power that he couldn't explain.

He could only temporarily attribute this situation to the peculiar nature of evil magic.

He got out of bed, stretched his slightly numb legs, and went to open the door.

Anna was standing outside the door.

Instead of wearing her usual pristine and elegant white dress, she changed into a very simple light-colored casual outfit.

The clothes were loose-fitting, but they still couldn't completely hide her amazing figure; her breasts, bulging like a Mongolian yurt, stretched the fabric tightly.

Lynn's eyes lit up instantly.

It's not because of her beauty, well, it is because of her beauty.

There's really no way to deny this.

It looks so tempting.

The large saintess robe she wore before had completely covered everything up, making it impossible to see anything.

Lynn quickly composed herself and snapped out of her daze.

He stepped aside and gestured for him to enter.

"Your Highness, please come in."

Anna entered the room, and a faint, sweet fragrance wafted in with her.

The door was closed gently.

The atmosphere in the cramped space became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Lynn looked at the stunningly beautiful saintess who had come to visit late at night and broke the silence by speaking first.

"I wonder what brings Your Highness here so late at night?"

Chapter Nine: The Saintess Barefoot

"I wonder what brings Your Highness here so late at night?"

Anna did not answer immediately.

She simply watched Lynn quietly, her pure golden eyes shining brighter than the candlelight in the dimly lit room.

The momentary silence made Lynn somewhat uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to say something to break the awkward silence, Anna finally spoke.
