Chapter 133 An Su's Divine Reward
"Ah?"
Enya stared at the Celestial Messenger, her eyes widening slightly.
This uncle looked like someone who'd been through it all.
The Celestial Messenger had stayed in the Astro-World for several centuries already, having encountered all sorts of characters. He had seen the vicissitudes of life and said reflectively,
"Ah, the youth."
"Could you elaborate?" asked Enya, her expression blank.
"Their relationship."
The Celestial Messenger's expression was inscrutable. He slightly bowed his head, maintaining a posture of great vicissitude. He gently stroked his beard, which seemed to be glued together by starlight,
"It's a connection of the heart, and what's more, that little girl owes An Su a debt of affection."
I want to understand him = connection of the heart.
I want to settle accounts with him = owes a debt of affection.
In the experienced brain of the Celestial Messenger, he had effortlessly decoded the Little Holy Maiden's words. He felt his analysis was quite thorough.
"You're too young, you wouldn't understand."
The Celestial Messenger thought the words he'd uttered were exceedingly profound.
So full of meaning.
As an absolutely neutral envoy, maintaining the dignity and vastness of the starry sky was precisely his mission,
But An Su had repeatedly disrupted his grandeur on several occasions, which troubled the Celestial Messenger greatly.
"And I have also penetrated this vast expanse of stars, naturally understanding more than you," he said, gazing into the starry sky with his hands clasped behind his back.

Enya fell silent.
"Don't mind it."
The Celestial Messenger, being an experienced elder, quickly perceived what was on Enya's mind,
"Your progress with that novice... An Su, has advanced a step further, hasn't it? The Little Holy Maiden is merely at the superficial stage."
The maid Miss grew even quieter.
What she and the Celestial Messenger discussed... was naturally her own artistic interpretation.
But not for Luojia.
Enya, unusually flustered, had always been known for her cool, undisturbed demeanor. Now, ignoring the Celestial Messenger who was pretending to be profound, she followed An Su out.
They had infiltrated from the Astro Church in the suburbs and now were leaving through the suburbs as well.
In the undefined border world, the flow of time did not match that of the real world.
An Su had stayed in the Chaotic Frontier for three days, yet barely a night had passed on the outside.
As the last star vanished into the pale mists before dawn, Farol awoke slowly after thirty thousand years. Golden sunlight streamed through Seven Gods Avenue and into one stained-glass decorated church after another. Farol was gradually being illuminated.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The blessings from the gods arrived swiftly this time,
Luojia received the blessings of the Radiant Goddess, with a celestial light swirling around her,
Truly worthy of being the Goddess's own daughter, her saintly constitution allowed her to rapidly gain bonus from the blessing. Her Rank progressed from the initial stage of Third Order to the intermediate stage, but the Holy Light hesitated, feeling as if its own daughter was being led astray...
Then came the bestowal of blessings based on performance in the Nether World.
Luojia received an intermediate-stage Legendary Magic, a level below the Epic Quality.
Common, Legendary, Epic, Divine - these are the known qualities.
Low Rank, Intermediate Stage, High-Rank, Saintly, Demigod-Level, etc... these indicate the user level of the magic.
Common Magic is obtained directly through faith points and isn't unique.
But Legendary and higher levels of magic cannot be obtained directly through faith points.
They're either self-created or personally bestowed by gods and possess uniqueness.
An Su's last "Holy Light Praise" was an intermediate-stage Epic Magic.
[Radiant Word-Spirit]
[Quality: Intermediate Legend]
[Mana Cost 3]
[Support Magic]
[Effect: Your words will be imbued with the power of Holy Light. If they are words of blessing, they will initiate a healing check on the target, if they are words of curse, they will initiate a damage check on the target, with the magnitude of the effect depending on the intensity of your emotions. The more tender the blessing words, the better the healing effect, the more intense the curse words, the greater the damage effect.]
[Note: When the red moon falls, the pure white girl's words are both a curse and a blessing.]
"…"
What on earth is this?
Luojia's eyes widened.
The more embarrassing the words she said while healing her teammates, the better the healing effect?
The fouler the mouth against the enemy, the higher the damage?
This god-given magic was too damaging to her perfectly cultivated image of the Holy Maiden!
Luojia absolutely couldn't imagine using this magic in practice, merely thinking about it made her blush with shame, she even wanted to protest to the Goddess of Holy Light.
She had made up her mind, she would never use this magic, nothing good ever came from An Su.
Enya also received a blessing, her overall rating was S+, because she entered the world as a quasi-saint, so she too received a Holy Light blessing.
When the Holy Light descended upon her, it hesitated noticeably more.
Why is there an assassin?
[Bright Stealth]
[Quality: High-Rank Legend]
[Consumption of Battle Ash Points: 6]
[Support Class Battle Skill]
[Effect: After stealth is discovered, speed increases by 20%, magic resistance by 20%, and strength by 20%, lasting for five minutes. If you return to stealth within five minutes, the duration is increased by one minute.]
[Note: As Enya is a Holy Knight and has extensive research into the path of light, for an assassin to kill enemies in broad daylight is also a kind of Holy Knight.]
The effect of this enhancement is not bad, but the duration is short.
Enya's thought process could actually keep up with An Su.
If she encountered the enemy head-on, first she could just crouch and cover her head, pretending to stealth like "ostrich-head-in-sand".
Instantly, this would trigger the 'stealth discovered' status, and after killing one or two people, crouching again and pretending to stealth would trigger the 'discovered' status again.
Kill one, crouch one, the duration could keep getting extended by +1 minute until all the enemies were slain.
Miss Enya quickly figured out a rather practical approach.
Lastly, it was An Su's turn to receive a blessing.
His blessing was the slowest to arrive.
An Su had been waiting for a long time, yet he saw no sign of any activity.
He felt that as a good mayor serving the people, as a dedicated saint committed to eliminating all kinds of discrimination and prejudice, he didn't deserve such a discriminating treatment.
The Chaotic Frontier was so harmonious now.
After a long wait, the dawn finally began to break, and the scattered Holy Light reluctantly gathered over.
Enveloping An Su.
More and more specks of light scattered above, the Astro Church was far in the suburbs, rarely frequented by people, and at this moment, the sparse local residents shifted their astonished gaze over, the Astro Church became increasingly bright, as dazzling as an incandescent lamp.
With this commotion, the divine magic An Su received this time was even more magnificent than the previous Holy Light Praise.
