Chapter 474: -14- The Great Priest’s Temptation

Gentle Holy Light spread outward from Charlotte as its center.

Holy, warm, intimate...

Though it was simply the projection of the girl’s power experiencing the "Eternal Holy Realm", the three Legendary Clergies were very certain. The brilliance emitted by the Divine Artifact "Eternal Day" was indeed the Holy Power of the Creator God.

Divine Lord above!

Her protective power is the Holy Power of the Divine Lord?!

How... How is this possible?

The three Legendary Clergies exchanged glances, their expressions animated.

Looking at the Holy Light surrounding the girl, they momentarily did not know whether they were hallucinating or if they too had been affected by the "Eternal Holy Realm"...

"Divine Lord above! Could there... could there be something wrong with the Eternal Day?" exclaimed the Demon Hunting Cardinal Joseph, his eyes wide with astonishment and doubt.

The expression of the Great Judge Bernard kept changing.

He stared intently at the functioning Divine Artifact Eternal Day and, after a moment, shook his head slightly:

"No, the Eternal Day is functioning normally."

Having said that, he hesitated and looked towards Great Priest Charles, who stood nearby, and asked tentatively,

"Your Eminence, shall we... continue to strengthen the Divine Arts?"

The "Eternal Holy Realm" could project out the hidden power of the Infected One.

While they still couldn’t penetrate the mysterious forces protecting the girl and enter her spiritual world, her hidden power had successfully been projected.

In other words, if they just wanted to use the "Eternal Day" to probe the girl’s secrets, their goal had been nominally achieved.

Great Priest Charles fell silent.

He frowned as he watched Charlotte enveloped in the brilliant light, then shook his head slightly:

"There’s no need to intensify it."

Hearing the words of the Great Priest, Great Judge Bernard breathed a sigh of relief.

The concealed protective power on the girl had manifested as the familiar Holy Power, indicating that the force sheltering the girl truly came from the Divine Lord.

As the Chief Judge overseeing the "Eternal Day" of the New Moon, he could track the source of power in the "Eternal Holy Realm"; he had even used the "Eternal Day" to slay a recently revived Old God, yet he dared not use this Divine Artifact to trace the Holy Power...

For that meant scrutinizing the Creator God.

No deity liked to be spied upon by mortals.

Using the "Eternal Holy Realm" to spy and pinpoint other deities was not something he feared with the protection of the Divine Lord’s power.

But spying on the Divine Lord...

Great Judge Bernard had never done that, nor did he intend to.

As a devoted Holy Believer, he feared such reckless actions might invoke the wrath of the deities.

He hesitated briefly and said:

"Since we have ruled out her involvement with an Alien God, I will not continue to maintain the Divine Arts."

Great Priest Charles remained silent for a moment, then sighed:

"Disengage it."

With permission, Great Judge Bernard again manipulated the Sun Base, preparing to awaken the girl enveloped in Holy Light.

However, before he could act, the halo of the "Eternal Holy Realm" flickered slightly and gradually dimmed.

Great Judge Bernard paused.

It was the "Eternal Holy Realm" deactivating automatically.

Yet, he was not surprised.

The "Eternal Day" was a Divine Artifact created by the Divine Lord and bestowed to the Holy Royal Court to counter the Pagans.

Now that the girl’s identity had been verified, it was natural for the artifact to autonomously disengage the Divine Arts.

The radiant Holy Power gradually dissipated, and the floating crystal mirror in the midair also gradually dimmed and returned to the Sun Base held by Great Judge Bernard.

Meanwhile, standing at the door of the Prayer Room, Charlotte also swayed slightly.

Her eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.

...

The stark white world shattered, and a strong sensation of dizziness and vertigo returned.

Along with the dizziness, the rapid resurgence of a "sense of reality" also emerged.

"Phew... I’m finally about to return to reality," Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the authenticity from her limbs.

However, she didn’t relax her guard but instead heightened her alertness.

She had broken the "Eternal Holy Realm" using "Divine Technique Counter."

But breaking the illusion was just the beginning.

She was about to face the Church’s Legendary Clergies.

Uncertain if her recent tactic had succeeded, she still could not afford to be careless.

With her perception completely restored, Charlotte opened her eyes.

The sight that met her gaze was still the prayer room of Lutecia Cathedral, and she was still in the position she had been when she first entered the room.

All the conversation with the Great Priest, the Church’s invitations, the banquet at Duke Gaston’s home... all were illusions.

From the moment she stepped into the prayer room, she had been subjected to an Illusion Technique Divine Art.

As her vision restored, Charlotte quickly locked eyes with three pairs of eyes.

One person she recognized, it was Diocesan Grand Priest Charles de Lorraine, whom she saw when she first entered the Prayer Room.

However, the other two were strangers to her.

Despite that, from their attire, Charlotte could guess their identities.

The clergy on the right, dressed as a Judge from the Judgement Court, held a mysterious crystal mirror that seemed to almost overflow with Holy Light.

Charlotte instantly realized that he likely was the Great Judge Bernard de Champagne using the "Eternal Holy Realm" on her, and the sun-shaped crystal mirror was probably the Divine Artifact "Eternal Day."

As for the one on the left... his purple-edged chief priest vestments clearly identified him as a cardinal, and the insignia of the Demon Hunting Knight on his chest likely marked him as Joseph de Mazarin, the Demon Hunting Cardinal in charge of the Demon Hunting Institute in the New Moon Diocese.
