Chapter 1080 The Love Between Two People
Unicorns are the most sacred creatures.
As a mount that only the lowest cardinals are qualified to ride, it is basically the representative of the Theocracy - some poets even use the word unicorn to refer to the Theocracy.
It required at least the fourth level of dedication and the presence of a Pillar God. Furthermore, the woman had to be a pure young girl—even a cardinal who had mastered advanced divine arts would be rejected by the Unicorn if she was a man or a married woman.
Isabelle was pregnant, so she couldn't be considered a pure maiden. Aiwass wasn't even a woman, as the "number 14" within him had split off and become Aleister. Theoretically, he couldn't be touched by the unicorn, or he would be attacked.
However, during the wedding rehearsal, Aiwas accidentally discovered this - he still has not been rejected by the unicorn Pansy.
Not only that, he could even bring people who couldn't ride a unicorn with him. In other words, he only needed to stay next to the unicorn, and the unicorn wouldn't feel uncomfortable because of contact with any impurities, and he didn't even need to ride on it.
Pansy herself was also very curious about this.
But she did say that as long as she was with Aiwass, she wouldn't feel any resistance or discomfort - the unicorn's resistance to impure people was physiological. Not to mention contact with impure people, even just contact with dirty water would make them uncomfortable.
However, their ability also allows them to purify polluted water that comes into contact with them, which is why the rumor that unicorns can purify the hearts of others originated.
Although Aiwass wasn't sure why, he was certain of one thing: his reason for boarding the Unicorn had nothing to do with the existence of "Number 14." Furthermore, Pansy also said it had nothing to do with the Son of the Candle. As a Unicorn, she often came into contact with the Son of the Candle in the Dream World. The Son of the Candle, like her, didn't have this special trait.
The only remaining special feature of Aiwass is probably that he is a "divine entity".
Therefore, after testing it with Isabel several times, Aiwass decisively gave up his original plan of riding Pegasus and instead decided to ride a unicorn.
This will make this wedding a unique miracle!
——Unprecedented and unrivaled.
It will undoubtedly be remembered by the world—
As the unicorn flew, rainbow-colored wings bloomed around it. These wings, combined with Isabel's long skirt, transformed into the aurora on the horizon.
It didn't land on the ship, but flew slowly to the front. Then the guests boarded the Theocracy's warships, seven of which formed a cone, following closely behind the unicorn.
Isabel's long skirt seemed to transform into some kind of beautiful illusion, like the transparent wings of a butterfly. It grew longer and longer, not just a few meters, a dozen meters, or even dozens of meters - but stretched to hundreds of meters.
Like a glittering jellyfish floating in the deep sea, the skirt is directly superimposed on the colorful wings that emerge when the unicorn flies.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The fleet sails from east to west. At this time in the morning, the sun is right behind them.
The bright summer sun shone on them and on the wings of light, refracting and scattering them into a rainbow-like wonder.
The sky shattered like shattered stained glass on a church roof, and the entire sky before my eyes turned into a religious mural. But that mural was moving like a comic strip—
In the dimly lit sanctuary, a young girl knelt before the nine statues and prayed, but the gods did not respond.
The long and short candles burning around her went out one by one, and the already dim church became even darker. The expression on her face became more and more panicked.
And behind her, there was a blurry, hideous, indescribable monster that was getting bigger and bigger and getting closer and closer to her.
The candles were extinguishing faster and faster, and the monster was approaching her faster and faster.
But just as the monster was about to devour her, a white hand suddenly stretched out from behind her.
Like a god, it suddenly burst into light and dispelled all darkness.
The twisted and hideous monster stopped in its tracks under the illumination of the light, became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely.
The next moment, the girl who was holding her head with her eyes closed, waiting to die, raised her head and looked back in confusion.
The church had vanished without a trace, now nestled in the wilderness, drenched by the drizzling rain. The religious murals had been transformed into something resembling comic book art.
At this moment, an umbrella suddenly appeared above her head.
The blond boy in a priest's robe, standing behind her to dispel the monsters, wore a reserved and distant smile on his face and offered two-thirds of his umbrella to her, so much so that he himself got partially wet.
The girl turned around and realized something. Her eyes gradually became blurry with tears, and then burst into tears.
She suddenly hugged him, leaving the boy stunned for a moment. Even the umbrella flew out of his hand in the strong wind.
The next moment, new illusions appeared around him——
"—I will protect you. That is my mission."
A deep voice sounded, and two people with blurred outlines hugged each other.
Then, the two blurry figures came into contact with various enemies. They were either fighting side by side or one protecting the other. The figures gradually became clearer.
"Do you need... my help?"
Isabel's voice was so cautious and almost trembling that it sounded faint.
But soon, she lowered her head and said, "No, forget it... I'm a little worried that I might end up making things worse..."
"—I do need you, Isabel. Very much."
Aiwass interrupted her and held out his hand to her.
Isabel looked up in a trance and saw that his eyes were shining like the morning sun and his smile was gentle.
She watched Aiwass lecturing in the classroom, his face beaming with confidence, his spirits soaring, his gaze blazing; she watched Aiwass defeat the demon with the holy sword in hand; she watched Aiwass sitting in a wheelchair, smiling as he raised his pistol and, with a single shot, repelled the assassin lurking in the shadows...
She painted one picture after another, and each picture showed Aiwass's confident smile.
In every painting, behind him is a fiery red and purple sunset.
They soon covered the entire sky, and all the paintings, big and small, were of Aiwass, with no trace of Isabel.
But Isabel's eyes became brighter as she painted.
There was no more timidity or fear on her face. She went from curling up to sitting upright, and then to standing.
——The next moment, sharp claws tore apart the wall made of Aiwas's paintings, and the terrifying evil spirit attacked her.
But this time, Isabel, who had become a little girl, was no longer afraid.
She raised the gun and faced the monster that was attacking her, but she straightened her back, put the muzzle of the gun deep into her mouth, and slowly pulled the trigger.
--Bang!
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, followed by the sound of shattering glass. The entire illusion was shattered.
