[Holy Power]
Scarlet takes advantage of the chance to open her inventory while she waits for Bishop Graham.
The [World Encyclopedia] she had brought earlier was there, and next to it was a rainbow-colored gift box with a large question mark in the center, which was the prize she had received after achieving a positive 100 percent love rate with her newborn son.
In order to finish this task, Scarlet had to use every resource she possessed, even if she had no idea what it was. Her intuition told her that this would be helpful.
Silently, she reads the description.
[Mystery Box
•Level: Random
Tip [!]
Try your luck and get a random SSR, SR, R or Normal rates items. ]
Scarlet's eyes brighten.
This reminds her of the gacha system type of games from her previous world.
She opens the box without delay and observes how it flashes dazzling rainbow lights and shakes violently.
In her past life, she was neither lucky nor unlucky in this type of games, but she still prays that she will get a good item that will help her finish the objectives, especially since she is running out of time.
Scarlet held her breath as the box stopped shaking and emitted a dazzling light. Then, the box abruptly disappeared, to be replaced by a little bottle filled with a golden liquid that was floating in midair.
[The Blood of the World Tree]
Level: SSR gradeDescription: The world tree discharges a modest amount of sap every 100 years, but not enough to fill a small bottle. Because of the World Tree's immortality, its sap has a potent healing effect and can even raise a person from the dead. This product can only be used once, and in order for it to work, the user must consume the entire contents.
Scarlet couldn't contain her joy; she never imagines that she is fortunate enough to receive this on her first attempt, and it is also of great assistance to her.

Looking at the interface she is in dire need of her MP and HP, but she is concerned about the consequences, which could irritate the [Mother Gu], cause chaos, and put the children in danger. She therefore made the decision to store it for the time being, hoping it will come in handy later.
Her happiness was short-lived, though, as she heard Ragna growling. She looked up at him and then turned to face the direction where he was baring his fangs.
And she was stunned.
She noticed a skeletal arm emerging from the circle of teleportation.
"Fuck." She swore as she quickly got to her feet.
'Why are they here? Did Moonlight failed to stop them. Isn't this supposed place filled with [Holy Power]? How they can enter this place without disintegrating.'
The skeleton completely emerged and dissolved on the spot, answering her sequence of questions. However, before she could exhale in relief, the skeletons began to stream out of the gateway in waves. Some of them were impacted by the [Holy Power] that surrounded the church, but others were unaffected and continued to flow out, with Ragna stopping them.
Putting Keira aside, Scarlet gritted her teeth and grabbed her blade from her waist. Ragna was pounding his skull against the skeletons, but the noise didn't even alert the others, which made her wonder. But she was too busy fighting the never-ending group of skeletons to think about it.
She was too preoccupied to notice that a skeleton had made it to Keira, but before the youngster was stabbed by the sword the skeleton was holding, a brilliant light burst into view, causing Scarlet to turn her head and comprehend what just had happened.
She knows what it is and rushes in the direction of the child who was engulfed in a dazzling, transparent light.
A [Holy Power] is what it is.
"The White Crow sings for the Queen, Cain the scorching sun, is here to serve, your majesty." A boy with black hair and dark brown eyes hidden beneath his white crow mask suddenly appeared bowing down to her.
"What's happening?" Scarlet asked abruptly.
Rather than responding, Cain composedly got to his feet and used [Holy power] to form a shield to protect the mother and daughter.
"Commander Kroft had already been informed and was in route to help, but as the skeleton's numbers grew, Moonlight and the others were unable to contain it. He also gave me instructions to keep you safe." He responded as he chanted a spell to blast four skeletons with brilliant light at once.
But before she could react, she felt a sharp ache that quickly rose to her chest until she found herself already vomiting a ton full of blood. She could hear Keira screaming next to her, and she could hear Cain asking questions, but she is too numb to respond.
That's what happened before to Bishop Graham's arrival.
"W-what i-is g-going o-on?" Maximus trembles as he asks, looking at the swarm of skeletons emerging from the teleportation circle.
Bishop Graham, however, is likewise in the dark. He sensed the skeletons terrible energy, but he was also perplexed as to why he had failed to recognize these monsters when they had arrived. He had many questions, particularly regarding the boy's [Holy Power], but before he could think about them, he heard his name called.
He shifts his focus from the boy to the one who made the call. It was none other than the Queen, and a child that was 80% like her was crying in agony in her arms. Upon closer inspection, he sees that the Queen has changed significantly; various flowers are sprouting on her skin, and her black hair is falling to the ground like petals.
Bishop Graham gasped.
Although he had heard stories about them, this was the first time he had actually seen a Fiora in her true form.
"Bishop Graham!" Scarlet once made a call that roused the elderly man from his reverie.
"Maximus summons all of the priests present, particularly the Templars!" Bishop Graham gave the young priest an order; Maximus trembles and rushes.
Not long as Bishop Graham was on his way to Scarlet he heard the church bell reverberating over the area.
A number of skeletons attempted to stop Bishop Graham from reaching her right away, but he raised the crozier on his hands. A number of magic circles then materialized, and a series of lights blasted out of them, shooting the skeleton.
While waiting for Graham, Scarlet decided to check the countdown and attempts to think of a strategy.

After fighting the skeletons in the sewer for thirty-five minutes and waiting for Graham for another twenty minutes, she had nearly an hour to complete the two objectives.
She never imagined things would turn out this way, and she is running out of time.
"Can you create a teleportation circle, Cain?" She questioned Cain who was fighting next to her.
He replied, "Yes, your Majesty," as he slashed the skeleton with his light rapier, which he had previously cast.
"All right, make a teleportation circle using the Secret Palace's coordinates.
Nodding, Cain created three huge magic circles. The skeleton attempted to attack, but Cain casually swung his rapier in their direction and kept casting the spell.
Bishop Graham also showed up at that time, and it was then that she saw the Templars and priests had also arrived and were engaged in combat with the skeletons.
"Your majesty, what are these creatures." Graham inquired right away, but Scarlet's response made him go pale.
"Demons." Scarlet, dreadfully informed him.
""This is not the time for you to joke around, Your Majesty," said Graham with a frown.
The Cathedral of Soliel was built in part to defeat demons, and the church takes pride in having the most advanced magic to identify them. Now the queen is claiming that not only one but a swarm had appeared under their noses. Unbelievable!
"I hope I am, Bishop," Scarlet replied gravely. As she glances down at the kid in her arms and wipes the perspiration from her brow, Scarlet remarked, "I am also in disbelief but I had seen it on my two eyes."
"I swear to God of Sun, Illuminus that the demons have entered the Garden, and they were able to conceal their presence so well that even the [Holy Power] could not detect them," she added grimly.
Bishop Graham is in state of shock, still skeptical since it's no other than the tyrant queen saying this but a part of him is starting to believe.
Necromancy is a type of black magic that can only be learned by demons, [Holy Power] can also detect necromancy —which it hasn't in this instance.
"Your Majesty, the teleportation circle is ready." Cain suddenly interrupts.
She then spots the big, golden teleportation circle nearby.
She sighs deeply and turns to face the confused-looking elderly man next to him. Ignoring his expression, she said abruptly.
"Please save my children."
