Our airship had just landed on the tarmac when suddenly, I noticed a large cluster of red dots on the small map.

"Oh~ It looks like we have quite a grand welcoming ceremony awaiting us. There must be around 20 people, resembling a team of Saints."

"Oh?"

I turned to Dale, gazing at him curiously.

"What's the matter? Is it strange to you?" Dale responded with a smile.

"Most people wouldn't understand this kind of thing, right?"

"Of course, once the Church started using the terminals we produce, it's no longer a secret. Their battle formations, types of weapons used, skills employed, and background information of each person are basically all in the terminal network. Of course, the information about the Pope and some bishops is not as complete; according to the data, their information is kept in their databases. It's all written."

"Sounds interesting." I nodded.

"I think that information must be quite important."

"Hey hey hey, are you thinking of stealing something now? We're surrounded by a bunch of Saints, and if we were to fight them one-on-one, their combat power should be about the same as ours, right?"

"Should it be?"

Dale shrugged.

"I mean in terms of rank."

"Well, maybe we should cooperate a bit."

"True."

The door slowly opened, and Dale and I walked out of the cabin. However, what awaited us was a large group of Saints, the Church's powerful guardians.

It seems the Church's strength is quite formidable; with just around 20 people, they could take down a military legion of thousands, no joke. I know this because if it were me, I could do it too.

"Lin Fir?"

A middle-aged man in a white robe stood at the front, looking at us.

"That's me, what's up?"

As I said that, I already had the edited magic skill bar open.

These guys always have a reason for doing things, and it looks like their target is me, and the only trait about me that could lead to this situation is that I am an Undead Holy Angel.

So, even though I'm a human, in essence, I am considered a demon.

"ultimate·Holy Sword of Light!"

A huge magical light appeared directly behind him, and then the entire magic circle rippled before countless light swords shot out of it, raining down towards me.

"Electromagnetic..."

I stopped Dale with a hand gesture and then waved my hand, causing a huge light shield to appear in front of us.

"ultimate·Shield of the Angel!"

The light swords landed on the shield, which flashed intermittently before absorbing all the light swords.

Hmm, the effect is better than I imagined.

Just as the book describes, light magic has an overwhelming advantage over darkness and undead, while against other elements... well, how should I put it, if someone shines a flashlight at you, besides potentially blinding you, it probably wouldn't have any other effect.

Perhaps, sunlight could cause skin cancer, considering some attacks may cause the skin to heat up.

And when it comes to light magic against light magic, well, I don't know whether the god of light created these spells to prevent his own people from killing each other, but when two light magic spells collide, the stronger one absorbs the weaker one.

It's really convenient and simple, the law of the jungle. I like it.

"Well, it really left a strong impression. I thought only people over the age of 50 would attempt to use this move."

The middle-aged man chuckled, then spoke.

"Upon meeting you today, it's evident you're not ordinary. Not only did you earn Yabber's admiration, but you also prompted Gabriel to leave the church. It seems there is something quite remarkable about you."

"You, too, must be extraordinary. Attacking someone with a lightsaber upon the first meeting... Well, forgetting about everything else, you must understand that a lightsaber carries some heat along with it, and could be quite stimulating to the skin. Certain nobles might even sue you for endangering their health."

"Suing? I doubt anyone would go to such lengths."

The other person looked innocent.

"Besides, we don't usually resort to using lightsabers directly against regular people."

"Well, it seems the two of us are indeed exceptional guests then... Let's get back to the point. Are you planning to welcome us or drive us away?"

"Well, that's still under discussion among us, but seeing your fearless reaction to the lightsaber and effortlessly using light magic, I believe you are now our guest."

"That's quite an honor, then."

I could only force a smile, the church sure knew how to make an entrance with a magic attack as a greeting.

"I told you earlier, this guy is the real deal. I said that when I first met him several months ago."

At that moment, someone walked out from the group of saints behind him. Ah, I vaguely recognize this person, because I've seen him appear with Yabber before.

George Bayer

LV66 Swordsman LV42 Light Mage

Neutral · Seasoned · One-hit-kill Specialist · Sword Technique Expert · Saint · The Church's Shadow · [The Backside of Light] · Former Bishop

Previously, I couldn't see all the information, but now I can see it clearly, which is great.

"You seem to have strengthened even more. So, what do you say? Is the invitation still valid for you to become a saint, as I mentioned before? Are you interested?"

"Old Bai, you're not a bishop anymore, do you really need to keep recruiting people like this?"

"What's the harm? This guy knows quite a bit of light magic. If we don't recruit him, he might soon be at a wanted level."

"Well, that's true. Ah, it's really troublesome."

Blame me, huh?

"Alright, you two. I didn't come here today to talk about my employment. I'm here to find Yabber. She hasn't been at school for about half a month now, right? I heard she went to the Abyss, and after I received a message from her return, there has been no further news. Do you know where she's gone?"

"Didn't she go to the Abyss because of you?"

"Well... yes, that's true. But I did return later. When my friend went to the Abyss to get me, the other party had already released me, so I returned."

I won't mention that we just survived a great battle with Abyssal demons, or else we might end up as long-term specimens in a laboratory collection.

"Well, we did receive reports from Yabber upon her return from the Abyss. They found out that the Abyss war had ended, so they gathered some intelligence and came back. But Yabber has now been sent to the Tsurugihama Shrine in the Eastern Continent to hunt down a demon, and it might take a few months before she returns."

"Is that so..."

Somehow there are copies without informing me, if we go, it will probably only take a day or two,

I can't handle this guy worse than the abyss.

"Ah, that's really troublesome, I was hoping she could help get her cousin out of the church."

"Hmm... cousin?"

George paused.

"You mean Sally?"

"Yeah, do you know her?"

"Yeah, compared to Yabber, this little guy is quite something," George said with a bitter smile.

"Isn't that right, Taylor?"

His conversation partner was the middle-aged man who had just spoken to me.

"Something? I think that word isn't accurate," Taylor said with a wry smile.

"It should be terrifying, right?"

"Terrifying? This to me is a new version of powerful, what exactly does it mean?"

"She... must survive under God's light, that's why she always crouches in the church, right?"

"Then what's the point of her coming to school?"

"Hmm... Because that's what she thinks, but it's actually unnecessary."

I was getting confused, what on earth was going on?

"So, what's the deal?"

"That child... is extremely pure, the magical element in her body is five times that of an ordinary person. But there's a problem, the magic she uses... becomes related to evil powers."

"Huh?"

"She can summon a special race."

"What is it?"

"Fallen angels."
