Chapter 379 "Buzz!"

Ashif was very old, and old people like to doze off, so even in a setting like the Temple Council, he was half asleep and half awake.

After making the decision to "forbid Heather from wearing that new dress" today, he thought he could take another nap and the meeting would be over, but a "buzz" sound woke him up completely.

A pure, intense light, accompanied by a soft "hum," illuminated the hall, making it difficult for Ashif to open his old eyes.

The light was so dazzling.

Heatherine had already flashed in front of Elder Charles and grabbed his neck with an extremely contemptuous gesture.

"Heatherine, let go! Don't do this..." Sif was the first to react. When she saw Charles being choked, her natural reaction was to quickly try to stop him, without considering why a Saint-level expert would be being choked.

“Hatherine, you’ve gone too far! You’ll be imprisoned and never see the light of day again! You…” Paladin Paige was far more radical than Sif, but he didn’t finish his threatening words.

"Buzz!"

The light inside the hall grew even brighter, and everyone "heard" that "hum" sound again!

Sif and Paige both looked horrified, because they had both been momentarily distracted by that "buzz," and their minds had reacted in a way that terrified them. They finally understood what had just happened.

Light is silent, and the light emitted by Heather was also silent. But that "buzz!"... was the light's... brutal suppression of their own consciousness.

Whether it was Charles, Page, Sif, or Elder Ashif, they were all believers in the light. Their power came from their devotion to the light, and when the true light descended upon them, their own consciousness naturally felt... fear.

Fear made them hallucinate the "hum," and they knew all too well what that brief moment of distraction meant—what would have happened if Heatherine had tried to harm them?

Just look at Charles, who was being choked and thrashing about like a chicken, unable to break free from those slender, fair hands.

"Elder..."

"Elder, stop this heretic at once!"

In their desperation, Paige and Sif had no choice but to turn to Asif, the strongest in the temple, for help. However, they sounded somewhat unsure of themselves, because Heather was simply too powerful at that moment.

Ashiff had been staring intently at Heather, his eyes wide open, and even Paige's anxious shouts couldn't make him blink.

He saw it; Heather was completely filled with pure light. The light emanated from her, and after being refracted in a complex way, it passed through her body without any obstruction. At this moment, Heather and the light were one; she was the light, and the light was her!

“Your Highness Heatherine, please forgive Charles! The way you are now, you have actually lost...your dignity!” Ashiff finally spoke, his tone very complicated, full of helplessness and...excitement.

"Elder, how could you..." Paige was shocked when she heard Ashif's words. This was clearly a sign of yielding. If the Elder had to give in to Heather in this matter, wouldn't she be punished afterward?

Ashif glared at Paige and said sternly, "Paige, you should show due respect to the controllers of light!"

Page was stunned. Since advancing to the Saint level and becoming an elder of the Temple, he had never been scolded by Ashif again.

"The controller of light? Wasn't she already..."

Paige suddenly looked at Heather, carefully sensing the light emanating from her and the awe-inspiring power within her.

It was a power that subtly surpassed the power of the Holy Spirit within him; it was powerful because it was pure.

Finally, Paige looked at Ashiff and murmured, "The true... Master of Light?"

Ashif nodded, his expression complex and unreadable.

Heatherine has always been hailed as the ruler of light, and the temple has proclaimed her as the symbol of light, but several elders in the council know that it is merely an aura bestowed upon her to meet the temple's needs.

Heather could at best sense the light, far from the ability to borrow and control it as described in the scriptures. Most of the previous saintesses only reached this level; a true master of light, one who could merge with the light, had never appeared.

When Heather fought Isabel in the skies above the Baltic Sea, Elder Rhine immediately thought of the symbol of the master of light, "body of light," because of the powerful Isabel.

Paige and Sif didn't immediately consider that possibility; they simply assumed that Heather had used the properties of light to ambush Charles, leading to this awkward situation.

They still believe that Heather's realm is lower than theirs, at most only similar in strength to them, and that the fearsome light is simply a characteristic of the saintess!

"Your Highness Heatherine, put Charles down! The Temple's strength cannot be wasted on internal strife!" Ashif pleaded gently once more.

He addressed Heather as "Your Highness" again, which made Page, Sif, and Charles, who no longer dared to struggle, understand the huge change in Ashiff's attitude.

Heatherine's anger hadn't completely subsided. While pinching Charles, she said fiercely, "What I wear is my own business, and nobody can tell me what to do!"
