Mirsha saw the miracle performed right in front of her without any illusion. The gaping hole closed, and when she turned to the little daemon that cured her husband, Mirsha was blinded.
Ack!
A light came directly from Lilith's body. The daemon's tiny frame overpowered the light of the moon and then shot up to the skies.
It was night, but through her figure, it was as though day had finally arrived for the survivors.
Mirsha was almost blown away by a massive gust of wind. She was being blinded, but as she held on to her ground, she stared dumbfounded at the Apostle's brilliance, "Wha—what is happening?"
Mirsha wanted to know, "Is it another Miracle?"
"I do not know; this has never happened before, but if it is the Boss, then it can be only good," Dhampy answered as she hid from the light with her cloak. She was not weak to light, but she was sensitive to it; even then, however, the Blood Lord did not leave, for she wishes to see the glory of her Boss.
From all corners, the light of the little Apostle spread. Her arms were small, but her reach was far and wide.
The thousands of survivors who could not evacuate all looked out of their windows to look at the light.
Looking out to the light, what the survivors heard were cheers. They did not know that it was from the Western Gate where the Gargankong's Carcass fell, but it became the applause of an Apostle's descent to them who saw the light in the darkness.
Fear had long warped their minds.
The higher she reached, the more people saw the light's glory, more people received a sense of relief. The glow of the moon was now overshadowed; only Lilith's brilliance remained.
"I-it is God… he had come to save us from doom!"
"We-we're saved!"
Many reflexively got on their knees. Those who survived were in tears, for their prayers were answered, "It arrived! Salvation appears!"
Those who prayed could not help but believe. God was indeed no lie. Some even cursed their waning belief.
They celebrated the light, not knowing inside its glory was a lass, downing Mana Potion like there's no tomorrow.
[Hurry up, Lilith! The light projection will drain more the longer it remains active! Dammit, you need to master Free Skills after this.]
'Shut up and focus on recreating my clothes and face.'
Lilith's figure flew up with what little mana she had, and as she hid her body in the light, she frantically bought Mana Potion to recreate her Kimono and heal her body. The Mana Potions weren't exactly cheap either; in fact, they were far more expensive than Health Potions for some reason.
But Lilith couldn't say anything and just chugged them down without hesitation. Lilith even bought someone called [Instant Body Cleanser], totaling a whopping 1,503,000 SP bringing her special funds to a depressing 700,000 SP.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
'My funds~ noooooooo~.'
However, she very well knew that keeping up publicity would take at least this much. After all, keeping a public face clean was more expensive than saving a life.
[Lilith, get ready, get ready, the light is about to subside… we are a go in… 3, 2… 1]
When Lilith's clothes and appearance were freshened up, the intensity of the lights began to lessen. Behind the light appeared a little girl, her clothes a beautifully crafted white Kimono adorned with intricate pink flowers. Her very image was that of divinity; the light around her no longer glaring to the eye existed only to accentuate the beauty and cuteness that she held.
From afar, no one could see the beauty the little creature held. It was hard to appreciate; however, Lilith's petite stature was enough to bring forth a calming sense to their hearts.
Many further lowered their guards seeing the little angel above them.
"I am the Daemon born of the lineage of Mawa and follow the Goddess Letza. I have been granted her light and powers to bring forth life, and the ever gracious and kind Goddess has led me to your land, where the [Monsters] of Chaos has come to wreak havoc."
Her words resonated thanks to the help of mana. With Alpha's help, the Apostle managed to stay afloat despite her Mana quickly leaving her being. Doing such an act as floating was taxing. She was more used to gliding along with the wind; however, Lilith had to grit her teeth for publicity's sake.
"The Goddess Letza is the creator of all life; she desires for me to bring forth peace; thus my people, the followers who have taken the oath to serve my Goddess and struck down the Beast that threatens to end all life. Now, the Gargankong has fallen, its blood nourishes the battlefield where our fellow risked their lives, the villain from the depths of Chaos has been slain, now I deliver the other Gift of the Goddess."
~Dhampy, I'm going to use Solar Healing; I suggest you hide for the time being. Take the Beast with you; we need to get it away from others before recovering fully.~
~Understood, Boss…~ Dhampy heard the orders and then turned to Mirsha, saying, "I'm taking the Black Spirit with me."
Bam!
Dhampy struck the Wendigo's head, knocking it unconscious. Though the potion it was forced to take healed its wounds was still in effect, losing consciousness was still possible. The Wendigo now in Dhampy's hands, something echoed in Lilith's head.

The tiny Apostle sneakily smirked at the thought of the Rewards, she and the System both salivated, ‘Hehehehe, just a little more, and I will be able to get that sweet-oh-sweet System Upgrade.’
Dhampy leaned in closer to Mirsha. She said something to her that caused the human to almost jump from fright.
~Dhampy, my mana will be fully depleted soon.~
~I’m sorry, Boss. Goodluck with leading the humans to the light of the Goddess.~
Dhampy fled the scene to recuperate someplace else.
[She’s no longer within range, Lilith—]
Pouring what little mana her frail figure had, Lilith poured everything she could in her hand; a giant Circle manifested around the Airport and beyond, and then, a light came down from above, “Solar Healing~”
A calm and gentle voice echoed and what came after was the darkness of the night being enveloped in those who had been beaten and injured. Those in pain only felt pleasure, and those who were tired felt refreshed down to their bones.
Even those who had experienced Healing from other Hunters thought that what they were being given was different from before—though it really wasn’t.
However, did it really matter? To these people, the light the daemon delivered and showed was hope and salvation.
From its light, they received warmth and the pleasure of retrieving hope. The Solar Element’s refreshing prowess appeared to bless those who stepped out into the light… many of the survivors shed tears—A Hero arrived to save them from the darkness of life.
Seeing their smiles from above, despite her plan not working as it should have, Lilith already knew that against humanity itself… she had leverage.
‘I am finally winning.’
