Chapter 18: Trials part 6

Minerva's pov

Wait….. Where am I?

We got sucked up by the spatial crack after Norn answered all three riddles of Betal.

Where is Norn?

Congratulations challenger!!!

You had passed the trial of wisdom.

May you passed the next trial, goodbye challenger.(Said the emotionless robotic voice)

It was then a sudden realization struck her mind.Norn said before that I'm on my own in this trial.

Ding.....!!!!

The trait "Purity" is activated illusions are negated and ineffective to the trait holder.(Minerva heard an angelic voice inside her head)

Click!!!!!

Just as Minerva appreciate the usefulness of her new trait she heard a clicking sound and the landscape around her transformed.

She was now standing on space beside her are elegant cosmic stars,with bright shinning luminous starry sky stretching as far as she could see.

She was floating in space.

Minerva was surprised of how wonderful the galaxy could be. She tried to move her feet in the space and as if her movements is a trigger,she was pushed forward by a gentle force,then a blinding light suddenly swallowed the whole area of the space.

Zhinnnnnnng!!!!!

She was now standing in a throne room,with light gold artistic walls around and an otherworldly beautiful woman sitting on a golden throne.

The otherworldly woman stand up in her golden throne.She had long Sapphire colored hair that cascaded down her back and a golden yellow eyes.Her elegance,demeanor,aura and beauty is comparable to Goddess Wisteria.

Welcome beautiful young lady.

Congratulations on passing all the trials of the room of judgement.

(Said by the otherworldly beautiful woman to Minerva)

May I asked for your name?(Asked by the otherworldly beautiful woman to Minerva)

I'm Minerva Sainthill.(Answered by Minerva)

I am the spirit fragment left behind by the Goddess Clementia.(Clementia is the Roman goddess of mercy,clemency and purity)

Her golden yellow eyes had suddenly shone brightly.

From the moment she was blessed by the archangel of Goddess Wisteria up to the humanity's fall and her tragic end flashed into the spirit fragments mind.

Oh,my what a poor sweet young lady!

(The spirit fragment used a divinity to look on the life and character of Minerva.But what she had seen was the past tragic life of her)

You are blessed by the Goddess Wisteria to be her saintess but it seems like you are troubled.You are in need of strength to protect yourself from the hands of the abyssal darkness trying to catch,manipulate and devour you.

Unfortunately heavenly deities like the Goddess Clementia and Goddess Wisteria can't interfere in the world directly because they are bounded by laws that gave birth to their existance.

Despite the tragedy you had experience your heart remains as pure as the ocean blue.Heart that stands faithful to hope even against all the dark adversaries this world would face.

Minerva Sainthill,the saintess of Goddess Wisteria you are worthy and deserving.

Clementia spirit fragment stretch out her hand in the air and a golden grimoire slowly float into her arms.

Here,you go! This is the Havencraft grimoire.A mythical grimoire used by the very first saint Allus Lightborne.

Havencraft grimoire is a special holy attribute spellbook that enhance it's owner magical capabilities enabling it's user to conjure powerful holy attribute spells and arcane.

This grimoire holds immense power but you need to develop and grow your abilities to unlock the advance and ultimate holy magic.

May it help you to succeed in protecting and saving this world.

Farewell,May the blessing of the goddesses bless you...!!!

(Then Minerva was teleported to the room of judgement)

In a certain district located in the city of Dregunns stood a desolate building that was surrounded by hoodlums in black suits.Anyone could guess that this is one of the hideouts of the mafia group Black hands.

A man,wearing a black mask walked towards the entrance of the hideout.He was wearing a black hood while walking with a cane hiding his identity.

The Black hand members surroundering the hideout kept their distance since they knew who this masked visitor.

Cardinal Cayn! What a pleasant surprise to see the respected holy cardinal to visit this lowly one's mafia group.What do ya need? (Said and asked by Victor leader of Black hands mafia to cardinal Cayn)

Hmmmmmn? so what happen respected holy cardinal for you to need our assistance?(Asked by Victor)

Your foolish subordinate let Minerva escape with the help of an unknown young man.Now, that idiot is searching the whole Mirkwood forest.Do you want the lord to know your subordinate blunder.(Said by cardinal Cayn)

Alright,My men and I would go and search the Mirkwood forest.(Said by Victor)

You better take this seriously you fool.Dont ruin lord Sphinx grand plan or your life and soul wouldn't even be enough to compensate for this mistake.(Said by cardinal Cayn)
