Her fiery mace lowered as sweat dripping down her forehead.
*Pant *Pant
No enemies in sight.
“Phew, purification complete!”
“Thank god it didn’t die first or all that effort would’ve gone to waste.”
‘Still not enough to meet the requirements though. I might have to go deeper if I don’t want to wait for another day…’
“Ehh, why not.”
She cast a sign, “Restore Vitality.”
Regaining her lost stamina. She’s rejuvenated once more.
Upon descending into the lower floors, there are less and less people as she goes further, and stronger enemies started to show up. Including minotaur, giant snake, and black slimes. She ignores all of them, keeping distance as she snuck deeper into lower levels.
Until she reaches the 8th floor.
A relatively small floor in comparison to other levels. It’s like the size of a football field. Just as flat and wide. But at the other end of it lies a giant skeleton with only its upper body. It carries an enormously large sword. And it is not alone.
“That’s a… troublesome one.”
Now she sees why there is nobody in here.
‘Two giant skeletons. And those skeleton warriors, are not the same as I’ve encountered.’
‘I don’t have enough MP to do it, and considering what it takes to take down a giant.’
‘Mage shift is out of the question.’
‘I wonder if… I can receive help again.’
She rested on both knees, “Please.”
“O Brilliant Light, thy servant has vanquished a great deal of dead in thine name.”
“I beseech thee, replenish thy servant so that she may purify them once more.”
The giant skeletons stopped moving, the world’s color turns black and white, and then a voice from the heavens.
“Not one day has passed, and yet, you have already purified many tainted creatures. And yet, it is not the end of it yet for you, it seems. You wish for more.”
“Child, the determination you have shown me, the strong will you have, and the act of loyalty of which you yourself have proven to me once again. It has moved me.”
“I can see the reason of your pivot from the destination of which I have set for you. The journey you have set out for yourself.”
“To prepare. To fight.”
“I shall make that journey lighter for you.”
The world returns to normal as shining golden light rouse her to stand.

She walks toward the two giant skeletons and the many warriors around them. They took notices and started to come at her.
Her eyes open brightly, “O Lady of Light, turn thy gaze upon those who defy thee.”
“Let thy wrath descend upon the unworthy.”
“As I call upon thy name, let thine enemies tremble and fall!”
“Burn them to ash in thy searing light.”
Siola opens her arms as golden light envelopes her, turning her irises into its color. Her body and arms burning in the fiery golden light flame.
“Holy Judgment.”

Powerful energy forms in the air like a turbulent wind, shining ever so brightly as it sends out wave to her entire surrounding. Purifying all the dead away, turning them into ashes.

Burning in the warmth of the golden light, a sigil appears on her forehead as her eyes radiating in the new color of flame.

“Amazing.”
‘So, this is what Armalia’s worshipper get after a rank up. It’s much weaker than what I’ve received when I turn to the End Kings, but it’s not so bad. It feels amazing too.’
‘No, hold on now. Think I might’ve missed something from the rank up.’
“Saint?”
“What a title, but I know my place.”
‘I know what saints do. How I have always wanted to be them. In any other game, I’ve achieved it but it never felt the same to the image of saint in my head.’
‘Never have I bothered to do a class change or upgrades back then. I already know my worth, my place, but now that I can’t even refuse this.’
“I’ll do my best.”
Brimming with her newfound power, she marches onward to the deeper levels. And there she found nothing but undead. A lot stronger than any she has ever fought in this world. Deeper and deeper into the underground until she reaches a large gate full of bones as its decor.
Opening the giant gate with her thin hands, it groans.
Her eyes widened to see an enormous dragon.
“You have come, Saintess.” Its voice, powerful, shattering.
The dragon lifts its body to stand, “Just as prophesied.”
Its body is all torn and decayed. When Siola approaches, her insight notices something odd about the decayed dragon. Not of the fact it can speak human tongue, but its body is unusual for a dead dragon to have. And that’s when she sees the sigil on its forehead. Although she can’t see it on herself, it is different than the one she has.
“Hellblade.”
The dragon’s eyes widened, “So, you know.”
“You’re not an undead.” Looking around, “You shouldn’t even be here.”
“Does it matter? Were you not looking for me, Saintess?”
“No,” raising her palm at it, the dragon startled until it heard, “Purification.”
Powerful light appears as it shines toward the dragon, it looks to the source and began to feel warmth in his body. It stops the decay.
“This is…”
‘A dragon that can speak human tongue. There’s no doubt about it that that thing is of a higher ranked dragon. And a Hellblade Follower too.’
‘Ranked second as a deity.’
‘I’m already exhausted after fighting those undead, best to avoid unnecessary fight.’
“You mentioned a prophecy.”
“!”
“Yes, I was once told that a Saintess and her companions will appear and slay me. You do not have companions, yet you have… helped me. Why?”
“Can’t I? Besides, I don’t have anything against—” her eyes shifted to her hand suddenly aiming to the dragon once more, “Huh?”
“Saintess?”
‘What’s happening?’
‘I feel…’
Her head slightly twisted and twitching, “Hnngh?!”
“Saintess?!”
Suddenly, her bright golden eyes turn black including her sclera. Her head lifts to greet the dragon and grinned. Chills coming down to his spine.
“You?! Impossible.”
“Heheheheh.”
She teleported to the top of its head and sit on it.
“Things that weren’t possible can now be a reality, Maradonma.”
“H-How?! You, you shouldn’t be able to walk on the surface.”
“And yet, here I am. Aren’t you happy to see me? Look, I even healed you.”
“Possessing a follower of Armalia shouldn’t be possible. And it shouldn’t be allowed!”
“Says who? Your god? Lehdrith? Replica?” lowering her head, “Ludwig?”
“Why are you here?!”
“Why? I don’t know. Whatever this vessel does, I do, wherever she goes I go, but since we’re here. Can I ask for your help, Maradonma?”
“Help? You?”
“Yes,” caressing its head, “See. It took quite a toll on me to have this vessel, and the Abyss is approaching closer and closer. I really need your help to make this vessel stronger. I can feel it when she gains power, my strength replenishes.”
“…”
“You want me to assist her in getting stronger?”
“Yes, and I need you stay still for a sec.”
She cast a sign, “Transcendental Law of the Omega…”
The dragon’s eyes widened, “You BASTARD!”
Roaring, shattering the surrounding walls as its wings expand. Falling rocks stuck in place as the world becomes black and white. Swirling energy swept everything inside in a turbulent spiral.
*Gasp*
“Haa… Haa…”
Siola found herself on the ground, black orb containing magical particles flowing within. When she stood to look around, the dragon is no longer there. Not even a trace of it left.
*Huff *Huff
“Did it do something to me or what…”
“And what is this thing?”
