Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun
Chapter 353 - 251: Really Falling for the Holy Light, Mastering Sun Divine Power'Saintess's Pure Blood?' Su Xuan caught sight of the sudden prompt, a flicker of confusion crossing his face.
'He clearly remembered seeing blood after Lucia got drunk that one time, so why now...?'
[Saintess's Pure Blood: You have touched Lucia's "??." The Golden Holy Dragon has developed a hostility toward you. Your affinity with the Light Element is increased by 50%, but your resistance to the Divine Element is decreased by 50%. (Effect lasts for 24 hours)]
"?"
Su Xuan glanced at the contents of the prompt and frowned, his mind filling with questions.
'What are those question marks?'
The mention of the Golden Holy Dragon immediately brought an image to Su Xuan's mind: the Golden Giant Dragon he had seen in a picture book. That was the one that had brought Lucia back to the Bright Church Court.
'But it seems to be hostile toward me now. That didn't happen last time when Lucia was drunk. Is it because the Holy Light bloomed inside her soul?'
'This was the first time he had... with Lucia...'
Ahem.
Su Xuan gave a light cough and rubbed the tip of his nose. 'Looks like I'll have to be more careful next time.'
Meanwhile, Lucia was in the bathroom, washing away the residual Holy Light.
"That guy... Honestly!"
She couldn't help but complain about Su Xuan as she washed off the Holy Light, which was rich with Life Magic Power.
'As the Pope of the Bright Church Court, I can't afford to get distracted by romantic matters right now. Unless...'
'Wait! Did he touch the restriction? Oh no!'
Lucia's heart clenched as she was suddenly struck by an ominous premonition.
She quickly closed her eyes and looked inward, inspecting her body to see if the restriction showed any signs of disturbance.
"Phew... It's fine."
After a thorough internal examination, Lucia breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves relaxing slightly. The restriction had only fluctuated weakly; the impact of the Holy Light hadn't broken through its layers of protection.
Even so, Lucia was still shocked.
'I never would have dreamed that the restriction hidden deep inside my body would react to Su Xuan's Holy Light.'
This restriction had existed since her birth, sealing a primal divine power that originated from the depths of her soul. Because this power was too immense, it had always remained sealed and dormant.
Even having reached the rank of a Demigod, Lucia couldn't wield this power at will. She would only resort to borrowing it when facing an enemy too powerful to handle otherwise.
As for the true nature of this power, Lucia herself didn't know. It didn't seem to belong to any known type of power on the Magic Continent.
Just as Lucia was lost in thought, she suddenly noticed a golden-red light shimmering on her fingertip.
'What is this?'
Lucia frowned, her eyes fixed on the glow at her fingertip.
She knew it wasn't her own blood, and it certainly wasn't Su Xuan's Holy Light, which left her confused.
"Could it be a byproduct of the Holy Light striking the restriction?" Lucia muttered to herself. She raised her finger and carefully infused a wisp of Magic Power into the golden-red light.
The instant her Magic Power made contact with the light, Lucia felt an immense power surge forth from it, as if it contained limitless energy.
Her eyes widened, glinting with astonishment.
"Sun Divine Power?" Lucia's voice was laced with disbelief. 'The consequence of the Holy Light striking the restriction... was the creation of a wisp of Sun Divine Power!'
'Most importantly, I think I can control this wisp of Sun Divine Power!'
This discovery made her tremble slightly, her eyes wide with disbelief.
'Just like Su Xuan, I can now wield Divine Power from the sun!'
'Wait a minute.'
Lucia gently stroked her chin, lost in deep thought.
'I'm certain that Su Xuan possesses Sun Divine Power.'
'But his Sun Divine Power is very strange. Not only can he not control it, but it also provides him with no combat assistance whatsoever.'
'The puzzling part is how Su Xuan's Holy Light, which contains Sun Divine Power, could generate a wisp of Sun Divine Power inside my body after striking the restriction.'
'Why is that?'
'Why would the mysterious power in my soul... resonate with Su Xuan's Holy Light!?'
"Lucia, are you okay?"
Just as Lucia was lost in her thoughts, Su Xuan's voice suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting her.
"..."
Hearing Su Xuan's question, Lucia paused for a moment before replying calmly, "I'm fine."
With that, she walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing Lucia had regained her usual composure, Su Xuan's worries eased slightly.
Lucia, however, shot him a cold glance and said in a low voice, "Your promise is as fragile and fleeting as a candle flame."
"Ahem."
Su Xuan coughed lightly. "I just received an invitation from the Star Kingdom's Royal Family," he said. "The final event will be held in the Royal City tomorrow at seven in the morning."
Lucia nodded.
"I'll come to the Guild early," she replied calmly.
After she spoke, her gaze drifted back to Su Xuan, a probing look in her eyes.
'She still couldn't understand why her soul would resonate with Su Xuan's Holy Light.'
'Should I... try it again tonight?'
'If I can make the power within that restriction my own, perhaps I could...'
'What am I thinking?!'
'Am I getting obsessed with his Holy Light?'
Lucia shook her head sharply, her heart suddenly pounding in her chest.
She then strode quickly toward the Teleportation Array, saying, "I'm heading back now."
"Okay," Su Xuan murmured, his eyes following her until her figure vanished completely within the Teleportation Array.
Only after Lucia had left did Su Xuan turn his attention to the other Guild members.
Although tomorrow's event had no combat planned, they still needed to be fully prepared for the unexpected.
"Regarding tomorrow's event," Su Xuan said seriously, looking at Ivsha and the others, "Alice and Viora will remain at the Guild on standby. The rest of you are coming with me."
Alice's Blood Soul Cutter could ignore space to attack from a distance, allowing her to provide powerful support even when not on the battlefield. Viora, on the other hand, was not yet strong enough to participate in combat.
"Understood, President!"
"If we run into any trouble, everyone must follow my orders."
"Okay!"
"As you command, Master!"
After giving out the assignments, Su Xuan noticed that Ailum wasn't in the Guild.
He frowned slightly, a little puzzled. 'Where's Ailum?'
Just as Su Xuan was about to get up and look for her, the bedroom door opened slowly, and Ailum peeked her head out.
She looked shy as she asked softly, "Master, were you looking for me?"
Seeing Ailum, Su Xuan's frown eased.
He smiled in response. "Edith just sent me a message. She wants you to come with me to the Royal City tomorrow. She's back."
Ailum nodded gently, a hint of joy in her voice. "Okay, Master. Can I... go back and rest in the room for a little while, then? Your bed... is very comfortable."
"Of course you can," Su Xuan replied.
"Thank you, Master!"
Ailum thanked him with a smile and closed the door.
"That girl..." Su Xuan murmured, then went about his own business.
What he didn't know was that Ailum had only just returned to the Guild. She hadn't even had time to wash her skin, which was infused with Holy Light, and had to hide her glowing body behind the door.
She had fainted earlier after depleting her Magic Power trying to preserve the Holy Light.
Upon waking, she had hastily and silently returned to the Guild using Space Magic.
