When night comes, Lete’s ability will allow her to find Lisara.
Currently, the Prime Minister and the Paladins are searching for Lisara according to official orders, but ironically, Simon and Lethe are the ones who are at the forefront of the search for Lisara.
The two dispersed and moved, hoping that Lisara, who had escaped into the sewers, would not be caught at least until night.
First of all, the first place Simon went to was the Epenel Library.
‘I have to find out about that strange appearance of Lisara.’
Currently, all areas of Sky Island, where the order to subjugate demons has been issued, are closed. It was the same with the library, but Simon was able to enter without difficulty using the secret passage he always went through.
However, the unknown woman was not there today.
I was always sitting at the end of the day reading a book, but it didn’t seem to come out during the bright day, not late in the morning. Simon secured the archive key from among the books in a familiar motion and entered the secret archive.
‘The essence of a saint, the essence of a saint.’
Upon entering the archives, Simon’s eyes quickly scanned the bookshelf.
What I had to find out was which saint’s essence Lisara obtained and what power she possessed.
-no! I hate this look!
She couldn’t adapt to her powers and was suffering out of control.
If that grotesque appearance was really the saintess’ authority, there should have been a clue.
‘They said that the essence of a saint manifests different powers for each person.’
For example, the saintess of purification who caused the saintess incident in the 1st year in keyzen used a flame technique called ‘white flame’.
Lethe, who inherited that essence, uses the power of the ‘star’.
There is a commonality called ‘firepower’, but the form is distinctly different.
‘Lethe said that the nickname of the saintess who was killed this time was the saintess of the new mother.’
The power of that saintess is ‘hair’. Theoretically, she can extend her own gorgeous blonde hair indefinitely, and it is said that it extends from one end of the continent to the other. She didn’t break for a while, and her elasticity was so strong that she could bind her opponents, wrap around her allies to protect them, or use her hair as a medium to create a wide range of white magic.
If you use blessing magic while wrapping an ally in hair, all allies touched by the hair are strengthened.
In the opposite case, you can knock out all enemies that your hair touches.
In the field, it is said that she was a saint with unrivaled abilities in speed and range. It didn’t take a second for her to cover an entire town with her hair.
‘… … Listening to it, it’s a great power, but what does Lisa’s appearance have in common with a saint whose hair grows long?’
Simon’s eyes widened as he scratched his head and examined the bookshelf.
‘found!’
<The Record of the Saint>
It contained the names, titles, and abilities of the seven saints who had existed so far.
Simon looked into the ‘Saint of the Godmother’ in the last chapter.
(Currently) Ardi, the Holy Mother of God.
‘Because he’s already dead, this part needs to be updated.’
Simon’s eyes quickly scanned over them.
(Before) Ravana, the saint of stone statues.
(Formerly) Evelyn, the saint of wisdom.
(Before) The Saint of Wings, Virsunora
‘What is all this?’
The Essence Authority inherited from Lethe is the power to create flames and stars. In other words, there is a common point called ‘firepower’.
On the other hand, the saints who inherited this essence did not have anything in common. Simon quickly went through the list of saints.
‘… … .’
It’s only when you come halfway through that you catch your persimmon and put your finger on it! Bounced.
“okay! What these saints have in common is ‘body change’!”
Hair grows longer, skin turns to stone, the abilities of both eyes are strengthened, and wings sprout from the shoulders.
now I get it.
If so, the form of Lisara, who the Paladins claim to be a ‘devil’, also changes. It was the unmistakable power of the saintess.
‘This is an important basis for saving Risara.’
The only way for Lisara to survive.
After she awakens and proves herself as a saint, she has no choice but to be recognized by others.
He had to contact Lisa as soon as possible and let people know that she was a saint.
Of course, those who do not value the truth will close their eyes and ears and try to kill Lisa as they please.
‘A disgusting, disgusting appearance. To be honest, no matter who sees it, she’s closer to a devil than a saint.’
Simon flipped through the bookshelf.
‘Wouldn’t there be more hints?’

same time.
“Sorry for the sudden visit. professor.”
Lethe visited a professor’s house.
Healing Professor Verinity. She was the eldest among the many professors at Epenel. Lethe only took her classes until first grade, but she is now retired and staying at her house.
“Gratula mi kibilis. Please come in quickly, Saint Lethe.”
The old professor smiled benevolently.
“There was an uproar outside due to the demon subjugation. Did the saintess come because of that too?”
“Oh no! While walking around here for a while, I thought of the professor… … .”
Lethe hesitated, holding her hands behind her back, but in fact, her clothes and hair were stained with dirt from the battle.
The old professor just smiled as if he was happy.
“It is a great honor to think of this feeble old man. Anything I can help with… … .”
“The saintess of the new mother, Ardi-senpai.”
Lethe cautiously took her luck.
“Did the professor teach you? I wonder who it was.”
Hearing this, the old professor gave a complicated and subtle smile, and then walked with a cane and dragged his old equipment.

Seruk.
Then I picked up an album from the bookshelf in the house and listened to it.
“The saintess of the new mother was my most cherished disciple. I remember caring about her even more because she was the daughter of a friend from her hometown.”
She opens the album, and Lethe quickly follows.
“ah.”
The childhood of Ardi, the saintess of the new mother.
A seven-year-old girl with coveted blond hair was grinning and drawing a V with one of her front teeth missing.
“You’ve had pretty hair since childhood!”
“Whoops, isn’t it?”
Sarak-Sarak—
As she grew older, Ardi’s blonde hair grew longer and fuller, and her beauty grew more and more beautiful.
and 17 years old.
The point of wearing the Epenel school uniform for the first time.
“huh?”
Ardi’s style suddenly changed.
“Black hair?”
Where did the long blonde hair she boasted of go? It turned into black bobbed hair. Even as I was taking pictures of her, a few strands of her frizzy hair were falling on her shoulders, and at such a young age, there was a big patch.
His impression was completely different and he looked like a different person.
“What is this… … .”
“They said my hair changed like that without any sign of it. It was a symptom that no one knew the answer to, so St. Ardi suffered a lot. At her most sensitive age, her self-esteem plummeted, and she suffered from extreme depression. She was even bullied in class, she heard.”
After the old professor said that in a pitiful voice, he looked at Lethe.
“But it was probably around this time. The point at which I was chosen by the essence of the saintess.”
“ah! if… … !”
“Yes, Saint Ardi spent half a year not realizing that she was a saint. Then… … .”
The album pages fall over.
By the time she was in her second year, her dark hair had become glossy and longer.
A little later, it returned to a much longer, more dazzling blonde than before, rather than the dark black hair. It was evident from her expression that she had regained her confidence.
“After that, you ascended to the position of a saint. She has the most beautiful hair on this continent.”
Flipping through the album, there were many pictures from the time she became a saint.
The way she poses with her long hair flowing, the way she hugs her classmates and smiles brightly. Making her hair look like her hands, holding five of her ice creams at the same time and tasting them one by one.
In the final graduation photo taken with the magic camera, he was smiling broadly with his classmates wrapped around their long golden hair. Pretty flowers grew in her hair, and birds and animals came and sat there.
“Saint Ardi was a beautiful swan.”
Lethe was staring at the picture of Ardi with long hair.
Then, as if he realized something, his eyes twinkled, and he ran up to the old professor and hugged him.
“My curiosity has been completely resolved! thank you!”
“I’m glad I was helpful.”
Then there was a loud noise outside the window.
– Look there!
-We need to search the inside of the house, so open the door!
The order to subdue demons is given, and the Paladins are searching even ordinary dwellings.
Lethe strode forward, opened the third-floor window, and raised her foot.
“sorry. I must go! I’ll greet you properly after this is over!”
“Grattula mi kibilis.”
The old professor held hands and smiled.
“May the blessings of the goddess be with you in everything the saintess does.”
***
by the time the day goes down.
After completing their investigations, Simon and Lette arrived at the meeting place, a deserted forest.
It was right where Simon practiced Chaos and Void.
The two exchanged the information they had obtained so far and put together the puzzles.
“I’ll sort it out, Lethe.”
Simon continued, spinning the quill in his hand.
“Lisa inherited the essence of the saintess of the new mother. The power possessed by that authority is the strengthening and transformation of specific body parts. In addition, there are temporary side effects in the early days of receiving the power of the saintess, but there is enough room to overcome them if you put off the saintess case of the new mother.”
“That’s right.”
Lethe, sitting on the grass, brushed her forehead.
“Well, Lisara herself must have been shocked. When emotions run high, they turn into monsters and get out of control. Everyone in the Commonwealth regards being chosen as a ‘saint’ as a blessing from a great goddess, so they look up to and respect it, right? She has become such a saint, but she is like this. It must have seemed like the world was cursing him. She must have heard of the murder of a saint, so she must have desperately concealed her identity.”
Simon said with his arms crossed.
“No matter how important the symbolism of the saintess is, it is also a problem that the federation excessively controls and conceals all information. Neither the saintess of the new mother nor Lisa would have suffered if they had known this truth long ago.”
“I agree a hundred times.”
Lethe sighed deeply.
“Hiding is unnecessary. When I graduate from Epenel and become an official saint, I will change everything.”
“The ambition is great.”
“It’s okay to float it.”
Lethe snorted and crossed her legs.
“Oh, and I went to visit Aitula in the hospital, and I also contacted Berci from No. 4.”
“Bersey? why?”
“Now that the identities of the murderer and the saintess have been revealed, there is no need to be careful. She let it all blow.”
As expected, Lethe’s acting ability was amazing. Simon asked admiringly.
“Did you get any good information?”
“I openly asked Bercy why she was afraid when she saw Euclid suddenly pop out on the first day of the rookie worship service.”
Bercy says that when she was at Maewon, she witnessed Euclid talking and exchanging money with men dressed in black.
At first glance, those men looked like high-ranking people or people who were active in the shadows, so they desperately pretended not to know because it seemed like they shouldn’t get involved.
“90% of the murders of saints are power corruption, and this time, the assassin must be connected to the above. That expectation was not wrong.”
Lethe said.
“However, the identity of the assassin is-”
“I was Euclid.”
Simon pointed at himself.
“Euclid must have found out Lisara’s identity and tried to blackmail or kill her. Then, her saintly power ran out of control and, conversely, killed Euclid.”
“Yes, that’s how both the saintess and the murderer became Lisara.”
She got up and brushed off her skirt.
“Of course, it is still speculation. To be precise, you can find Lisara and check it out.”
she looked up at the sky
A night full of stars. she raised her arms.
“I’ll start the march of the stars.”

Epenel Library.
“… … .”
It was a deserted library late at night, but today, the pale woman with black hair was reading a book in the same spot.
In the stillness and darkness, only the rustling of pages could be heard.
Then.
again and again.
Someone was approaching in the dark far away.
“You were here too.”
The one who appeared with footsteps was the general manager of the Euclid incident, the general secretary of Epenel.
“… … .”
Despite the entry of a prominent figure of power, the woman in the library was just turning over the bookshelves casually.
In such a heavy silence without a word.
Suddenly, the Chief Executive Officer slowly lowered his body.
“Grattula mi kibilis.”
Then he knelt down in front of her and bowed his head.
“Meet the closest daughter of the Great Goddess.”
“… … .”
Sarak—
The woman said, turning over the next page with an expressionless face.
“What is going on?”
“I apologize. I know you absolutely hate having your personal time interrupted, but things are getting serious.”
Hearing the words of the general secretary, she slowly grabbed her glasses.
Then he took off his glasses and set them down.
“How serious is it?”
“I found out about the next saint.”
Having said that, the Viceroy lowered his stance even more and bowed his head as if he was sorry.
“He is someone who might become our enemy.”
drooling.
at las.
The dark-haired woman slowly stood up.
“I wonder who you are.”
Flash. Flash.
The dark lights in the library turned on and off repeatedly. The woman ran her hair through her long hair.
Every time her fingertips passed, the black water in her hair turned red, and she took out the lipstick she had stored in the table drawer and applied it thickly to her lips.
As the lights turned on and off repeatedly, she raised a divinity. Her dazzling light wrapped around her body and took the form of pure white armor.
As she moved, divinity spread out, and the entire library turned white as if time had stopped as lightning struck.
“I hope it won’t die in one hit, at least.”
The Holy Maiden of Judgment, Dana.
One of the largest forces of the Holy Federation began to move.
