The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

They looked at each other, both seeing confusion and shock in the other’s eyes. They hadn’t mistaken the examination room, had they? This was supposed to be the exam for advancing to Deacon... not for Priest, right?

The previous Druid World had a difficulty of Fourth Tier, which was already considered part of the first batch of tests in difficulty. This Holy Light room directly raised the challenge to a Holy Tier, an entirely different leap in quality!

All the prospective Deacons attending the exam, aside from Prince Cersei, held Ranks of Third or Fourth Tier. How could they possibly pass a room of Holy Tier difficulty...

They then noticed another strange detail: the difficulty level of other saints’ Radiance rooms hadn’t reached Holy Tier; only An Su’s was this exceptional.

"Please, do not be surprised... this is a normal difficulty adjustment...." The Radiant Deacons hurried to explain, not wanting Bishop Merlin to blame them. They indicated that only An Su and Prince Cersei were special cases. As compensation, they would be able to score higher in this room compared to the others.

The common Holy Light room had a maximum score of ten points, whereas An Su’s room allowed a maximum of twenty points, fully double the amount.

With this explanation, the nobility somewhat retracted their surprise.

But they still found it unbelievable. Prince Cersei receiving special treatment was understandable, but they hadn’t expected this frontier youth to be granted the same privilege.

Why did Bishop Merlin favor and hold such high hopes for this young man, and why did he specifically test An Su along with Cersei... Numerous conjectures arose in their minds.

There was only one possibility: An Su’s talent was no less than that of Prince Cersei.

Perhaps the rumored wager in Heaven was indeed true.

Compared to the shock stirring in the hearts of the general public, An Su himself quickly regained his composure. He didn’t need to think too hard to guess that it was old Bishop Merlin causing trouble on purpose.

Instead of cursing his fate, it was better to focus on the present enemy.

An Su’s expression grew solemn as he intently watched the other, the dust raised gradually settling. The assassin’s form slowly became visible. Even though his lungs had been filled with smoke-laced Holy Water and he had taken a direct, full-force blow from An Su, it hadn’t caused any damage, indicating that its Rank was far above the Blood Servants in the Alchemy room.

The dust cleared completely, and the cool moonlight streamed in, revealing the black robes covering the assassin had fallen away, exposing the horrifying torso beneath. It wasn’t human at all; it seemed to be a malformed body stitched together from countless lives, its body swelling and sprawling on the ground, its face a patchwork of stitched seams, with over a dozen arms extending from its back, each holding a weapon such as knives, spears, swords, or even fully drawn bows.

[Stitched Life]

[Fourth Tier]

[Affiliation: Life Esoteric Church]

Stitched Life...

Life Esoteric Church...

An Su’s face was lined with incredulity; such a monstrosity was top-tier dross among all monsters, a creation that could only be inspired by a planner who’d been chased by dozens of dogs as a child, had fallen from a twenty-story building, and had been stitched up with over a dozen stitches in the forehead.

As An Su faced off against the Stitched Life, detailed information about this world and the room’s task entered his mind.

[World Background——]

[At the end of the Third Era, Druid Sorcerers in the north attempted to solve the Chaos Virus. Meanwhile, in the Radiant Holy War along the southern front of the Human Empire, a critical moment had arrived. Led by their Saintess, the Life Esoteric Church launched a major invasion of the Human Empire. They obtained power through extensive sacrifices and collected human limbs to create forbidden life forms. The Radiant Holy See suffered defeat after defeat, with most areas falling into darkness, losing the protection of the Holy Light.]

[Identity Introduction: You are a Radiant Holy Knight, your comrades have all been sacrificed, and your church, the Dawn Cathedral, is the Radiant Holy See’s last military stronghold in the south.]

At the same time, you have a secret mission: tonight, you must protect the only hope for turning the tide of battle—the Radiant Holy Saintess. You must ensure her prayer ritual is completed before dawn arrives, before your dawn comes.]
