Chapter 659: Chapter D240: That Blood Destiny
“…Are you planning to attend the selection like this?”
Upon seeing the heroine ready to depart in simple attire for farewell, the priest couldn’t help but ask with some concern.
The nun whom he recommended with a try-it-out mentality actually became a candidate for Saintess…
After a day’s calm, he woke up from yesterday’s exhilaration and finally began to realize the absurdity of it.
Indeed, theoretically, every church can submit an application for Saintess candidates, but submitting is one thing, being selected is quite another.
And selecting a novice nun who has been employed for less than a month, that’s even more of a wild tale.
Although, with his status, he couldn’t know the complete list of Saintess candidates, he could sense the weight of other competitors through scattered messages.
Those candidates heading to the Holy City for selection are either highly respected senior nuns or rising stars who reached the Legendary Realm at a young age. At the very least, they are the offspring of a prominent noble background or clerics with ties to a great cathedral.
When these candidates travel to the Holy City, they may not have a ceremonial entourage, but at least a team of Holy Knights would escort them.
After all, aside from being Saintess candidates, they hold significant positions within the Kingdom themselves.
These Saintess candidates’ travels may not be with ceremonial entourage, but at least a team of Holy Knights will escort them.
But as for the one before him…
He glanced at the heroine and the middle-aged housekeeper standing behind her holding luggage, hesitating to speak.
It wasn’t about his future or previous scoldings; he genuinely wanted to slap himself now. How did he get possessed to submit the girl’s name back then?
But since the heroine has agreed, he, as the instigator, couldn’t speak against it anymore, though his expression couldn’t hide the worry:
“At least let me call a Chocobo for you?”
“No need, it’s quicker if we walk there ourselves.”
Wearing nun’s clothes that seem entirely unsuitable for a long journey, the heroine only quietly smiled.
“My luggage isn’t just this; I’ll return to the city first to prepare. And I’m already used to traveling, no need to worry.”
Seeing the priest’s concern, the heroine comforted him.
Being comforted multiple times by the young girl, the priest could say nothing more and could only watch the heroine and her housekeeper slowly walk away.
Under the bright sun, he suddenly saw golden radiance, remaining in the girl’s footsteps.
In a moment of trance, he only felt as if witnessing the birth of something grand, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
Yet, after another blink, when he looked down again, there were no glowing footprints on the ground, only the long-familiar village scenery in sight.
“…Am I having a heatstroke?”
As a Second-turn Professional, like the heroine, the priest, who hadn’t felt the taste of illness for a long time, wiped the sweat from his face in confusion,
When he raised his head again, the heroine’s back had already disappeared at the end of the road.

D94. She plunged straight down like the Sword of Judgment descending from the sun wheel.
D137. “The rumors are true; this ceremony indeed has the Royal Family witnessing…”
D88. The heroine’s brows slightly furrowed, and just this minor change in expression made the kneeling cultist leader tremble.
D148. With strong perception, the heroine became very keen to sight, only feeling her hackles rise, instinctively straightening her demeanor, revealing some anxiety and tension amidst the excitement.
D135. Smiling and nodding to the patient, the heroine turned and exited the ward.
D10. But the current heroine is neither humankind nor a creature, but a Magic Power body constructed with spell-like abilities.

[The Heroine Acquires Legendary Skill: Soul Radiation (Integrated Skill: Blazing Heart Illusion Realm)]
The first to arrive is neither the fist nor the words, but the will.
The heroine can consciously accelerate her thinking operation and instantly spread her spiritual power through Magic Power.
Preemptive attack, if the target’s agility is no more than twice her own, it is considered a success by default and can cover group targets within the perception range.
After capturing the target, the heroine can choose to trigger the following three effects:
1. Conveying will, activating Ceasefire or other mind system skills, possessing probing effects.
2. Inflicting soul burning damage equal to D Perception/2, ignoring armor.
3. Two-way synchronization of status, when the opponent is in a normal state, can opt to reset her own spiritual state (requiring judgment).

“– Arrived.”
After bidding farewell to the priest and villagers, the heroine stepped on the ankle band that released a gentle breeze, traversing forests and plains, and returned to the city where she was born and raised in less than half a day.
With the reopening of the Kingdom’s air passage and the impact of the incident in the Capital, airspace near the city also began to strengthen its control, Griffins seen patrolling everywhere in the sky, their riders well-equipped.
Although the heroine is fully capable of bypassing these fierce-looking guards, she still chooses to land honestly near the city and follows the crowd towards the city gate.
Along the way, the girl in nun’s clothes attracted many curious and friendly glances.
Without encountering any accidents, she nodded to the familiar city gate guard, watched his eyes turn from confusion to realization, and the heroine smiled as she stepped into the city.
“That’s the young lady of Viscount Mansion, truly a stunning transformation.”
