Claiming Emma[2][R18]

Altering the function of the divine mark had been quite difficult, but Liam managed to pull it off.

 The mark was like a small golden seed within Emma's heart, an unshakable link to the church's watchful eyes. 

 However, by surrounding it with his demonic authority, he managed to overwhelm it. 

 His power coiled around the mark like thick vines, pressing in, twisting, and distorting its original function. 

 Now, he could freely influence whatever it showed to the church, masking anything he didn't want them to see.

 The only reason this worked was because Tenny, the priest who cast the mark, wasn't powerful enough to resist Liam's authority. 

 Had it been placed by a grandmaster-level priest, he doubted he would have been able to override it so easily.

 He knew he was stronger than a master, but a grandmaster? That was still uncertain, since he had never fought one before.
