"Sister Vanya, your ceremony rehearsal just now went really well. I didn't expect that you could do it so well in such a short time. Were you really not good at ceremonies before?" Standing on the broad platform in front of the chapel, Aspare said to Vanya beside him, and Vanya responded with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment. I really only worked in the History and Classics Department before, and I really didn't have much contact with rituals. I was able to do so well this time, thanks to the training of Sister Grey."
"That Sister Grey... Speaking of which, I think he behaved a little bit..."
Walking on the wide platform, Vanya and Sipare continued to talk. At this moment, an invisible blood mist was lurking in the air, spreading around them silently, and no one at the scene noticed anything unusual.
Just when the invisible blood mist was about to touch Vanya, an inexplicable strong wind suddenly blew up at the scene, sweeping across the platform square of the church. While the guards of the pilgrimage group and Vanya had to cover their faces, the approaching blood mist was also blown away, preventing it from getting close to Vanya and the others.
"What's going on... this wind is..."
"There's something wrong with this gust of wind! It could be an extraordinary product! Protect Sister Vanya!"
After noticing the abnormality in the wind, Sipare was startled and shouted loudly. Then the guards of the tour group on the scene quickly gathered around Vanya against the wind and began to guard her at close range.
Then, they saw that in the air not far away, there were two balls of dark red blood mist rapidly condensing, and soon gathered into two human figures, one male and one female, with blurred faces shrouded in shadows, and wings on their backs, hanging in the dark night.
"There are enemies!"
Seeing this scene, Sipare could not help but shout, and then his guard knights took out the church standard spears they carried with them, pointed at the two figures in the sky, and pulled the trigger one after another.
For a moment, there was a burst of gunfire at the scene. Under the spewing of muzzle flames, countless bullets flew out and hit the two people floating in the sky. However, they did not cause any harm to them when they got close. Instead, they went straight through their bodies. If you look closely, you can find that their bodies have not been completely condensed into entities, but just a thick blood mist.
"What's going on with the wind? There shouldn't be any wind users here?" Looking at the guards who kept firing below, Boyard ignored the bullets piercing his body and said in confusion, while Gesmore beside him immediately responded.
"Take action! Those Preet Alert Factions who have been disturbing us here can no longer sit still and have to take action. Take control of the church and force them out completely!"
Board, who was half turned into blood mist, nodded, then he waved his hand, and in front of her, the blood mist suddenly condensed into several blood spears, which stabbed directly at the guards below at high speed. Seeing this, Spare drew out his sword and slashed in the air. Suddenly, a wall of flames rose from the ground in front of him and rushed into the sky, blocking the flying blood spears.
Facing the obstruction of the blazing fire wall, Boyard just waved his hand lightly, and those blood spears that had flown past him turned around one after another, bypassing the fire wall as if they had life, and continued to attack the guards. Seeing this, the guards put down their guns and drew their swords to fight back. As the elite of the crusade, they accurately cut those blood spears with their swords, and those blood spears were like ice cubes, shattered into countless pieces under the sharp sword blades.
The enemy's attack was resolved, and just when the guard knights felt relieved and were preparing to counterattack, an unexpected situation occurred. The blood spear fragments that shattered in mid-air suddenly grew countless spikes like sea urchins. These spikes spread rapidly in all directions and stabbed the guards when they were caught off guard. The thin needles pierced the flesh, and most of the guards were affected at once.
These bright red thorns are extremely tiny, and the damage they can cause is extremely limited. They should not cause too much harm to them, but who knew that these extremely tiny wounds would cause unspeakable excruciating pain!
“Aaaaaaah!!”
The intense pain that the guard knights had never experienced in their lives quickly spread from the mosquito-sized wounds to the whole body, causing all those injured to drop their weapons and roll around holding their bodies amid painful wails. If there had not been an ascetic monk on the path of the Holy Father in the team who used the precepts to maintain the mental state of the guard knights, most of them would probably have fainted from the pain.
"Ahhh...Sister Vanya...go!"
Wounded by the thorns, Sipare knelt on one knee in pain, holding the sword with both hands and screaming in agony. Because of the pain that felt like tearing his brain apart, he was no longer able to maintain the wall of fire. Vanya, who had just been protected by everyone and not been hurt, looked at the wailing all around and did not choose to escape immediately, but said worriedly.
"Please hold on for a moment, everyone. I will ease your pain."
As she spoke, Vanya began to use her abilities to provide group healing to the guard knights around her in order to alleviate their pain. When Board, who was suspended in mid-air, saw this scene, he condensed a thin blood spear in mid-air and controlled Vanya to stab. This time, without the fire wall as an obstacle, the blood spear didn't even turn.
Just as the blood spear was about to stab Vanya, an unexpected situation occurred again. There was a loud roar all around, and a stone wall suddenly rose up on the originally flat ground of the church platform. The blood spear hit the stone wall straight before it could react, and it shattered instantly. The subsequent fine blood thorns were also blocked by the wall.
Seeing this, Gesmore and Board couldn't help but pause. Before they could be too surprised, a gust of wind blew in from inside the church. The strong wind was so strong that it even blew them, who were half-blood mist, away for a long distance, and blew them away from the church in one breath.
"Those guys... strike again! Damn it, where are they hiding?!"
After being blown far away, Gusmore gritted his teeth and said after stabilizing his body. Just as he and Board were about to fly back to the church again, they saw an astonishing scene.
“Dang…dang…dang…”
The bells, the huge steel bell array on the church suddenly began to swing back and forth automatically, and a series of deep bell sounds spread throughout the entire Star Lake. Along with the bell sounds came an earthquake, a rumbling earthquake suddenly occurred in the huge cathedral in the center of the lake, and the entire floor of the church began to shake violently, and the vibrations were transmitted to the water surface, creating circles of waves that spread outward.
“This is…what happened?”
"The ground... is shaking!?"
On the platform of the church, the pain was slightly relieved. The guarding knights could not help but murmur in amazement after seeing the strange vision around them. What surprised them even more was yet to come.
The earthquake in the church continued to be strong. Amidst a violent roar, the giant building, which was more than 40 meters high and more spectacular than the Tivian Cathedral, began to slowly leave the water surface and float in the air. From a water church, it slowly became a floating church. This phenomenon even made Gsmore and Board, who were far away, widen their eyes.
"The church of the Queen of the Night Sky...actually...flew up?"
"Are you kidding me!? What kind of power is this!?"
Just when everyone at the scene was amazed by the changes in the church, at this moment inside the church, on a high tower, Aldridge in a gray windbreaker was standing on the top, with his hands behind his back, overlooking the huge church below, and speaking in a deep and old voice.
"Temple of the night sky... In the name of the Lord of Creation, I will build your knowledge and give you a form. Please appear as a guardian, perform your duties, and drive away the invaders..."
Aldrich made this declaration to the entire Mirror Moon Church, and then this huge church, which was gradually transformed into a golem, began to transform under the bath of moonlight.

Hmm…I should have finished coding by noon today, but I couldn’t help but overslept, so it was delayed until now. Now I feel like my work and rest schedule has been messed up again, so I’ll take a day off tomorrow and update as early as possible the day after tomorrow. Sorry, please forgive me.
