"How is that possible…?! Not a scratch on her?!"
Priest House stared in disbelief as Ivsha emerged from the holy radiance completely unharmed, shock and suspicion surging violently in his heart.
He simply could not comprehend it.
A demon resisting the judgment of holy light?
That alone shattered everything the Holy Church believed to be absolute truth.
"Ivsha…?"
Sister Moran was equally shaken.
Ivsha had grown up in the church—but that did not mean she should be immune to holy light.
She was a succubus!
Even her master could not withstand a Holy Light Judgment of the same tier… yet Ivsha could?
How was this possible?
…Was it him?
Sister Moran's probing gaze suddenly shifted to Akira, a flicker of astonishment flashing in her eyes.
However, Akira didn't notice her look at all.
His eyes were fixed firmly on Ivsha in the distance.
In a low, steady voice, he gave an order.
"Finish him quickly. The church is serving dinner."
"Yes~"
Ivsha answered softly.
The nun-shaped phantom woven from holy light shimmered once more—this time, several sharp blades of light materialized behind it, gleaming with blinding brilliance.
"Damn it!"
For the first time, Priest House felt a sense of genuine, overwhelming danger.
He frantically flipped through the blue tome in his hands, chanting spells without pause.
In an instant, golden blades reappeared in the sky, arcing through the air before crashing down toward Ivsha once again.
However—
His magic still had no effect on her.
Instead, the holy light mana was gradually being seized by Ivsha herself, continuously amplifying the power of her Fallen Radiance.
"This—this—!"
"How is this possible?!"
"No… no way!"
"How could a demon not fear holy light?!"
At this moment, Priest House completely lost his composure.
Even in his worst nightmares, he had never imagined the existence of a demon immune to holy light.
He wanted to run.
Run back to the church in Blue Moon City.
But—
Ivsha's magic had already locked onto him completely.
Sacred chains manifested from the void, binding his limbs tightly in place.
"Damn it!"
Priest House struggled with all his strength, only to realize how utterly insignificant his power was before Ivsha's magic.
Then, Ivsha's gentle voice rang out coldly.
"Any enemy who dares harm Mr. Akira… must be erased completely."
The moment her words fell—
The golden nun phantom in the sky raised its blade and thrust it mercilessly toward Priest House!
"AAAAH—!"
A shrill, agonized scream tore through the air.
His body was pierced instantly by the golden blade, blood splattering across his entire form.
"Bastard… I'm a Vice-Seat Priest of the Holy Church… how could I possibly die here—!"
Golden light erupted from Priest House's body as he attempted one final, desperate resistance.
And at that very moment—
The nun phantom exploded.
BOOM—!
A thunderous blast echoed outward as golden holy light mixed with dark-purple flames of fallen corruption, erupting from Priest House's position and spreading violently in all directions.
The dazzling magical brilliance lit up the night sky like daylight.
Throughout Silvermoon Town, residents stepped out of their homes one after another, witnessing what looked like a divine miracle descending upon the world.
Several seconds later, the holy light slowly faded.
Priest House's figure had vanished without a trace.
Not even ashes remained.
Only the blue-bound book lay on the ground, its pages fluttering softly in the wind.
"Completely… erased?" Akira murmured quietly as he watched.
Ivsha's Fallen Radiance was terrifyingly powerful—so much so that it annihilated a person utterly, leaving nothing behind.
"This…"
Sister Moran stared at the scene, disbelief written all over her face.
Her first thought was that this might be the power of her master's bloodline—but she dismissed it almost instantly.
Instead, her gaze turned to Akira.
In her heart, she was certain—
This was power bestowed by the Guild Master.
A force that transcended the very limits of succubi.
At that moment, Ivsha walked back to Akira and spoke calmly.
"The enemy has been dealt with, Mr. Akira."
Akira gently rubbed Ivsha's soft hair in praise.
"Well done."
Then he added, "But that made quite a scene. We should leave quickly."
"Okay~"
"Oh, and don't forget to clean up the bodies."
"Yes, sir~"
After the scene was cleared, Akira immediately left the area.
Before departing, however, his gaze landed on the blue book lying on the ground.
He bent down, picked it up, and examined it carefully.
[Holy Scripture of Light · Replica (Blue):A replica of the Holy Church's sacred tome.Type: Magical FocusEffect: Increases spell chanting speed and magic power.Restriction: Usable only by Holy Church classes.]
"Only usable by Holy Church classes…?"
Akira frowned slightly at the note.
"What's wrong, Mr. Akira?" Ivsha leaned closer, curiosity in her eyes.
"Ivsha," Akira asked jokingly, "what do you think about me becoming a priest?"
"A priest?" Ivsha blinked, then broke into a radiant smile."I believe Mr. Akira would become an exceptional priest. Your wisdom would allow the nuns to personally experience the true meaning of the God of Light~ to feel the divine presence up close~"
"Cough—cough…"
Akira was a little embarrassed by her praise.
Letting the nuns personally experience the true meaning of the God of Light…?
Why did that sentence sound… strangely suggestive?
After returning to the church, Akira and the nuns enjoyed a lavish dinner together.
Following the meal, Sister Kelly expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Akira.
Afterward, they discussed the pricing of the nun amulets.
When Sister Kelly heard that the market price for each amulet reached 40 silver coins, she was utterly shocked—after all, the church sold them for just 5 silver coins each.
However, even such staggering profit didn't make her greedy.
After discussion, they ultimately agreed on a price of 20 silver coins per amulet for Akira.
This way, Akira wouldn't need to invest anything and would still receive half the profit.
In truth, Sister Kelly had originally intended to sell them for only 10 silver coins each.
But for the church's finances, that amount was barely a drop in the bucket and couldn't resolve the crisis at all.
So Akira raised the price to 20 silver coins.
Only then did it meet the task's requirements.
After all, the production cost of each nun amulet was 4 silver coins—selling them for 10 was far too low.
Sister Kelly was simply too kindhearted.
That kindness made her ill-suited for business.
Yet it was also precisely because of that kindness that the church felt so warm—and why the nuns within it were so gentle and sincere.
For that, Akira expressed his thanks.
As for the deaths of Baron Noda and Priest House, Sister Moran said she would handle everything.
It seemed to be related to Idith's status—giving her complete confidence.
But when Akira tried to ask about it, he received only a single response:
"When Master wishes to tell you, she will do so personally."
As a white light flashed, Akira and Ivsha returned safely to the guild.
With this back-and-forth, the church's crisis was fully resolved, and Ivsha's hidden quest officially came to an end.
"Phew… finally done."
Akira let out a breath and submitted the task.
[Succubus Nun in the Church!][Quest Completed!][Reward: 1 Free Trait Reroll][Reward Obtained — Succubus Candy!]
"Hm? Succubus Candy?"
A pink candy appeared out of thin air in Akira's inventory.
[Succubus Candy: Ivsha's Ascension Material!]
Akira took it out and examined it closely—but found nothing particularly special about it.
Just as confusion filled his mind—
Ivsha silently appeared behind him.
She cupped her cheeks with both hands, heart-shaped sparkles shimmering in her eyes.
In a sweet, coquettish voice, she whispered—
"Master~ I want~"
