Chapter 142: Ada's True Face

After Virginia finished shouting, she wiped the blood from her face, turned to look at Silas, and grinned. "We meet again, Silas."

Looking at her blood-soaked appearance at this moment, Silas didn't feel any gloom or terror. Instead, he found her very bold, straightforward, and lovable.

He was not some sanctimonious "White Lotus." He had his own set of values.

Those who deserved to die should be killed in the cruelest way possible.

Lightly waving her greatsword, Virginia walked towards them with a smile.

Helles instantly stepped forward, shielding Silas, her entire body on alert.

"A Demoness?" Virginia was taken aback upon seeing her.

Immediately, an indescribable, intimidating sharp light burst from her eyes. She grinned widely. "Silas, I wasn't mistaken about you! You are like me, possessing values completely different from those ignorant people, and at the same time, upholding our own justice."

Silas was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

He hadn't expected Virginia, whom he had only met once, to see through him so thoroughly!

Helles moved slightly closer to Silas and said in a low voice, "Your Holiness Pope, I can feel that she… she seems to have a very strong liking for you."

"What? Love at first sight?" Silas's little heart suddenly became somewhat nervous.

Virginia gradually approached, smiling. "It's clear that your identity should be similar to mine. We are both the last hope in these corrupt churches."

"What last hope?" Silas felt he was somewhat unable to keep up with Virginia's thinking.

Virginia asked with a serious expression, "Are you not someone who has been persecuted by the Church, lurking within this Church, secretly developing your own strength, preparing to completely overthrow this corrupt and erroneous Church, letting your endless wrath, already transformed into a giant dragon, vent upon these sinful people, and then build a brand new order upon their corpses?"

Silas, listening to these words that were off the charts in terms of "chunibyo" (eighth-grader syndrome), repeatedly shook his head. "No, I haven't, I'm not."

Virginia suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Silas's hand, and said seriously, "It seems you haven't awakened your talent yet. You haven't seen the truth of this world yet. Don't resist your inspiration, chosen one. I can see that the light of the Goddess has already filled your body. True awakening is only a matter of time."

Then she turned her head, spread her arms, and said, "Do you feel it? The Goddess is feeling happy because of our meeting. An indescribably immense energy is filling my body. The dragon of vengeance is soaring, and the black demonic dragon burning with light possesses absolute divinity…"

Silas looked at the rambling Virginia with a strange expression. At this moment, he was completely certain that this was a standard chunibyo knight.

It was just that due to worldview issues, she was somewhat unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

"The ultimate justice will be thoroughly executed by my hands. The dawn that pierces heaven and earth will dispel all gloom in the world and sprinkle brilliance and purity upon mankind." Here, Virginia, having finished speaking, her eyes sparkled, her face flushed, and she panted slightly, looking as if she had just climaxed.

"Ahem, although I'm not very comfortable interrupting you, I still have other matters to attend to right now," Silas said, then turned to Ada. "Do you want to go back?"

Ada shook her head. "There's nothing left to hold onto here anymore. I have already experienced enough joy and kindness here. I plan to go elsewhere."

Silas fell silent upon hearing this.

"But I really can't bear to leave you," Ada said, then raised her hand and gently caressed Silas's cheek.

Hearing these words, Silas didn't feel any particular emotion, because he could no longer see the past concern and warmth in Ada's eyes.

"Why?" Silas asked.

The corners of Ada's mouth curled up slightly. "Because in these five years, you are the first person who could lie to me! Do you know how shocked and happy I was when you lied to me when you came back in the middle of the night?"

Silas's heart trembled upon hearing this, and he said in a low voice, "You know about my dealings with the Death Cult…"

Ada smiled even more brightly. "I know, but I didn't stop you at that time. To be honest, in these two years, I have already experienced enough joy and your kindness from you. I was already planning to leave you and find the next person. However, your sudden return showed me a completely different existence. Because of you, I saw that my Dharma still had flaws. I have been trying to remedy it these past few months, but because of your repeated lies, I myself fell into confusion. However, I just thought it through. The current world does not allow for perfect existence. So, if I want to manifest my Dharma, I need a weakness."

"So, my kind little fellow, just obediently become my weakness and hide here!" Saying this, Ada held Silas's neck, slightly tiptoed, and kissed him on the forehead.

"Receiving a saint's kiss is a blessing, you know!" Ada said, her body transforming into endless light, completely dissipating like countless stars.

Thud!

Faced with such a scene, everyone present, including Luke, all gained three points of Spirit Vision.

"Who on earth is she!?" Adeline's face was pale, and she fell into a huge internal conflict.

After coming into contact with Silas, she found that the things she encountered were increasingly beyond her imagination.

Helles reached out to grasp those rays of light and murmured, "I can't feel her heart."

"Wild Demon Dragon Emissary from the Abyss, your senses are not wrong," Virginia's voice suddenly came.

"Wild Demon Dragon Emissary from the Abyss!?" Helles blinked at her, her mind unable to process it for a long time.

Virginia was the only one among the crowd whose expression was normal at this moment. She looked around and said, "She told me a lot along the way. I felt her radiance, and afterward, I confirmed my determination and faith. At the same time, she also briefly told me about her existence."

"Ada, who exactly is she?" Silas turned his head and stared at her, asking.

Virginia didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "There isn't much I can say. Some things, with my current Spirit Vision, I can only listen to, not speak of. There's only one thing I can tell you."

"Speak!"

"She is a saint."

"A saint?" Silas was taken aback.

Luke, beside him, suddenly said, "Then that makes sense."

"You know?" Adeline asked hurriedly.

Luke stroked his chin. "There are many mystical professions in the world. Among this vast array of professions, there are some special ones. These professions represent certain people, or rather, the unique lineage of a single person. Such professions usually only have one person."

"I know, these are Arcane Professions," Adeline said.

Luke continued, "And above these professions, there are some extremely special ones. We all know that so-called professions are actually paths and methods for exploring knowledge. Ultimately, they can be considered tools for us to explore knowledge, just like a difference engine."

"But there is one type of profession that is not used for exploring knowledge!" Saying this, Luke's voice suddenly rose.

Silas's spirit was immediately drawn to it. "What profession?"

Luke shook his head. "That kind of position doesn't have a fixed name yet, because the number of people is too few. If you ask me what profession it is, I can't say for sure."

"Then tell me, what is that kind of profession used for!" Silas immediately pressed.

Luke took a deep breath, looked up at the moon in the sky, and murmured, "That kind of profession is used to achieve great deeds or legends."

"Great deeds and legends… Then that means Ada's mystical profession is Saint!?" Silas suddenly thought.

Adeline's eyes widened. It was the first time she had heard of such a thing.

Helles and Bernice were also completely bewildered. Ada is a saint!?

Virginia, on this side, affirmed, "That's right. Just like our mystical professions, Ada Newton's profession is Saint."

Silas murmured, "No wonder Helles couldn't sense her thoughts. Since ancient times, saints have always been selfless, taking the common people as their heart. Saint… Saint…"

After a moment, Silas collapsed to the ground with a thud and fainted.

The fatigue of this period, the series of emotional fluctuations and stimuli just now, coupled with the burden of increased Spirit Vision, had caused Silas's spirit to break down.
