Chapter 132 Mission Update

"Let's go." Noel nodded to Anna next to him.

"Yes."

"By the way, do you have any idea about the problem that the Saintess currently facing?"

"You don't know anything about it?" Anna looked at him with a weird expression. Noel already knew about the location of the Saintess and even noticed the trick to get the Moon Blessing earlier, so she expected Noel to know the problem as well.

However, Noel could only shake his head since his mission only told him to go there. Because he was afraid of drought or something similar, he had been storing all the Honor Points he had gathered in the past two months.

After all, there was a case of the village he previously visited. So, he thought there might be a need to summon another water gallon to help them.

Meanwhile, Anna thought, 'Now that I think about it, I never paid attention in the past about what the Saintess did. All I knew was the fact that the Saintess always took a heavy job because that was where her power would work better.

'If only I was an information broker in the past Or at least someone who worked in espionage, I would have gotten many more information about things happening all around the kingdom. Albeit, my limited knowledge didn't have the information about the Saintess' job.

'When I subjugated her, I only learned that the Saintess had three main Spirit Abilities. The first ability was Moon Barrier. During the day, the demons would be easier to spot and defeat. But during the dark, people had limited vision, forcing them to stay closely and not do anything.

'The Moon Barrier is to erect a barrier blessed by the moon, allowing her to protect everything inside that barrier as long as the moon is still up.

'So, I had to fight the Saintess during the day when she got corrupted by the demon. Then, the second ability was Moon Tears. It was a dangerous Spirit Ability that almost killed me. But still, the most dangerous ability she had should be the third ability, Moon Recall. The ability to create a moon for herself. The Saintess was the strongest during the night, so creating the moon for herself allowed her to fight during the day with her strongest strength.

'Still, these three abilities didn't show much about her mission.' Anna thought for a moment before noticing something. 'Now that I think about it, the Saintess was supposed to be corrupted by the demon, right? Because her blessing was strong, she could fight against the corruption for a while, but when did the Saintess first got corrupted by the demon? If we could prevent it, wouldn't it mean we could fix the situation?

'But then again, is preventing the problem the solution? Noel wasn't supposed to be this strong in my previous life but because of my interference, he grew far faster If I stopped the Saintess' corruption, what effect would it bring in the future? I won't be able to use the future information anymore.'

Anna was in dilemma. Unlike Noel who was good at coming up with a solution of everything they faced, Anna's thought always wandered about her past life since that was where her advantages lied.

Anna had been considering about her action because she didn't want to get involved too much since she didn't know whether her action would bring good or bad to the world.

Noticing Anna's expression, Noel furrowed his eyebrows, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Ah?!" Anna was startled and immediately turned to Noel while fidgeting.

"I don't know what you're thinking, but it seems to be serious. So, if you're thinking about our mission, can you share that information with me?"

Anna scratched the back of her head. She hesitated for a few minute before asking Noel, "Do you know what it means a divine revelation?"

"Divine Revelation? As in a divination from a being stronger than us?" Noel tilted his head in confusion. Since they were talking about the Saintess, it was clear that her temple had a G.o.d that they wors.h.i.+ped, so Noel believed she was talking about it, not realizing that she was just camouflaging her knowledge about the future.

"Yes. If you have that kind of phenomenon and know the future and see there's a suffering in that place, will you go save them even if it means sacrificing everything?" Anna asked.

Noel's expression darkened. This was indeed a tricky question. On the one hand, if he didn't agree to go, he would be selfish. On the other hand, if he went there, he would lose everything.

After some contemplation, Noel opened his mouth. "If there's such a thing, I won't give up my life."

"Yes, I can understand that." Anna nodded her head in understanding, expecting this answer.

However, Noel also added, "Still, I won't run away."

"Eh?" Anna widened her eyes as if she understood something from Noel's words.

"You mentioned 'the future' specifically, so it means that it hasn't happened. In other words, you shouldn't be sacrificing everything right now. If that's the case, then there are many routes I can go like asking for help, more preparation, and other things Or in the worst case, I'll save them by making them run away as far as they can. If everything I've done has failed, then it's time for me to run away I am just a selfish person. I save people when I can, but I won't go all the way to sacrifice my life for them. For me, I think that staying alive is better because I can save more people with it." Noel shook his head, explaining his thought.

"Staying alive is better" Anna looked down as if she was thinking about something. 'Was that why you never killed me in the past?'

Anna wouldn't know the answer because that was the experience unique only to her in the past. But Noel's words were enough for her to steel her determination.

She looked at Noel with a solemn expression and said, "I don't know what the Saintess' problem right now, but I do know that she's going to be corrupted by a demon sooner or later. When that happens, it would be a nightmare that has to be subjugated."
