Gracia could not believe that demons snuck into The Temple of Light and set up a trap on the seal. The words stuck in her mind that most likely there were more demons in the temple.

She wanted to deny it, but the words just won’t come out of her mouth. Not after seeing a demon in the most protected room in the temple.

“I will protect you, Sir,” Gracia nodded and replied solemnly.

Sir Tang Shaoyang put his hand on the seal as the black energy engulfed the seal. It looked like Dark Energy, but she could tell the difference. She did not feel the malice just like when she sensed Dark Energy. But she sensed it was powerful energy, more powerful than the demon’s dark energy.

Gracia trusted the seal on Tang Shaoyang and turned around. There was only one door into this room. The door opened as the two knights rushed in.

“What happened, Exalted Priest Gracia?” One of the knights asked in a concerned tone.

Gracia raised her right hand, “Stop! Don’t come any closer or I have to kill you!”

Despite her warning, the two knights still approached Gracia, “What are you talking about, Exalted Priest Gracia? We come to help, and we are The Guardian of Goddess Lunea. We are here to protect her.”

“And it was me who appointed you as the knights to guard this sacred place. But I am here to protect the seal. This is the last warning. Back off or I will kill you!” Gracia took out a white staff from her inventory.

She formed ten swords made of light, hovering above her.

The two knights halted their steps, looking surprised. But then they screamed, “Exalted Priest Gracia betrayed Goddess Lunea. She brings a demon with her into the Sacred Room!”

“Because you are not the Guardian Knight. I don’t think the Guardian Knight can be killed with such a simple attack,” Gracia really did not think that her sword would kill the knight. Follow current novls on ovl(ꜰ)ir(e).nt

If they were the same Guardian Knights, they would be able to block her spell. They were weaker than the original knight.

“Take his helmet!” Gracia told the priest next to the dead knight. A priest tried to heal the knight, but it was too late already. The priest was confused, but The Exalted Priest’s authority was rooted deep inside them. They followed the order and pulled off the helmet.

Several priests screamed at the same time, surprised by what they saw behind the helmet. It was not a human’s face, but the faceless demon.

“It’s a Demon!”

More knights rushed in with their swords out as they rushed to the wounded knight. There was no need for Gracia to tell them what to do in this situation.

However, something unexpected happened as High Priest Risty pulled out a sword from her inventory. She swung the sword toward the knights that rushed toward the wounded knight.

Her sword released the crescent black blade and cut through dozens of knights and priests.

“That bitch Estia, can’t she do something right for once!” High Priest Risty pulled off the hood and revealed her pretty face.

She was the same Risty, not a faceless demon. However, she was no longer Goddess Lunea’s follower but turned herself into a demon. The black eyes and the yellow irises were enough indication that she had turned into a demon.

A pair of bat wide bat wings came out from her back, licking the blood in her black sword, “It’s more comfortable that I don’t need to hide it anymore. It’s more comfortable this way.”

“You have become a demon!?” Gracia was shocked that Risty had become a demon. Risty was one of the oldest Goddess Lunea’s followers. Back before the Game started, Risty was already a High Priest for The Temple of Light.

“But why!?” It was hard to believe for Gracia.
