The Unusual Champion of Death
Chapter 3.5 - Holy Maiden

Chapter 3.5 - Holy Maiden

I was startled when the clerk shrieked, "Is something wrong?" When the clerk heard me say that, it looked like he was ready to explode, he shouted as he said, "You're the Champion of Death! Champions aren't common, but when a Champion does appear, every faction, kingdom, and empire will goto war with each other to get the champion on their side." My expression changed to puzzlement as I said, "Why? That's quite stupid. I don't plan on joining any factions, I only want to strive to achieve my goal." The clerk gave a hallow life. Meanwhile the groups of adventurer were talking amongst themselves, "She's a Champion? So lucky." "Champion of Death? Is she going to kill the whole continent?" "Lets go tell the royal family in the capital that a Champion has come, maybe we can get a reward." I picked up my guild card as I turned around listening to the conversations, my eyebrow twitched as I listened to them. Just as I was about to yell that I'm not joining any factions, a girl in a white dress that gave off an aura of life approached me. She looked at me with unconcealed hostility before asking and the other adventurers started gossiping, "Isn't that the Holy Maiden of The Church of Life?" "Ya, are they perhaps going to fight?"

When I heard she was the Holy Maiden of The Church of Life, I looked at her with jealousy. After me and the Holy Maiden stared at each other for a minute, she opened her mouth asking, "What is your goal? To cause chaos and destruction or perhaps, destroy my Church of Life?" When she asked that, I was shocked by the conclussions she had thought of, I laughed before responding, "My goal is neither of those. My goal is to get revenge, and whoever stands in my way will be killed without hesitation." The maiden was cautious as she inquired, "Revenge on who?" I gave a sinister smile as I said, "The God of Death." The Holy Maiden gave a shocked expression before asking, "Are you trying to make a fool of me?" I sighed before showing her my information and told her to read my second title, she looked at me with a strange expression, "You're quite an unusual Champion of Death..." I shrugged in response.

We sat at a table and chatted for 30 minutes and started to become friends, it was awkward at first. When I told her I always wanted to embrace life but won't be able to until I first bring myself to accept death, she said, "Then why not embrace life and deny death?" I looked out the window, staring at the setting sun with a beautiful orange sky as its background before replying with a sad, troubled smile, "Because everything I love and cherish will come to an end by him..." "Sorry, that was insensitive of me." "It's fine." After the depressed atmosphere cleared over, we continued to talk about what we like and small girl talk until it became night time. I asked her before I went back to the inn to rest, "Would you perhaps join me in my journey of accepting death?" I hope she'll say yes, I had a feeling my path will be filled with blood and darkness. I wanted her to be that gentle light that would keep my heart pure. After a moment of silence, she said, "Sure, afterall, aren't we sisters now?" I smiled and said, "Ya."

When Aahna made a friend and skipped back to the inn she was staying at with a smile on her face, I was happy for her. But even so, I couldn't help but think of a worse case scenario. "If she is betrayed by those arround her, I'll personally vanquish them even if the universes were to punish my soul." The moment the system said those words, an extremely powerful aura leaked from his soul that was within Aahna's body. Every citizen felt cold sweat from that minute leak of aura and said to themselves, "Is the universe going to punish us?" They shook their heads and continued on with their lives as if what they felt was an illusion.
