[E/N: Relic Stick will be changed to Relic Mace. I apologize for the sudden name change.]I looked around the room first. The room was decorated with antique ornaments, and it was as luxurious as befitting the room of the High Priest of the Rizes Church.

'Thanks to Terdius, I got a sweet deal.'

The work was very easy, so I might have gotten everything I wanted.

'There must be a secret space somewhere.'

I searched the desk and the bookshelf of the High Priest, but there was nothing special. So it was obvious that there was a secret space.

'There is only one thing that shady people usually do.'

Suddenly, the ornaments on the wall caught my eye. As I looked at them one by one, I saw an ornament that was unusually dust-free.

A small statue of a puppy. As if bewitched, I touched it, and the statue slid back without much force.

Trrk--- Creak---

A loud noise at the same time. I stepped back without knowing, and part of the wall slid back.

-Wow, amazing.

I smiled faintly. I didn't expect to find it so easily.

I moved my feet lightly to the space that appeared when the wall slid back. And then I exclaimed in delight.

In a space of about five pyeong (16.5 square meters), gold coins were piled up, and there were expensive items everywhere.

'I'll use these well.'

The High Priest had such a fortune.

I was smiling contentedly when a black bead in the middle caught my eye.

-My child, I can feel the snake's power from that bead. You have to destroy it.

I knew it even without Kyros telling me. That bead was where the blessing of the Maseen flowed from. So it was impossible to break it with ordinary power.

But,

I grinned and opened my inventory. It was time to use this.

'The Relic Mace!'

-Yes! Good idea!

It was the first time I held a weapon in my hand, but I just had to swing it roughly, right?

Kyros' power was pure and holy, opposite to the power of Maseen and Aksin.

So with a mace that contained Kyros' power, it should be easy to handle.

I swung the mace with a grin.

Clang!

With a clear sound, the bead with the blessing of Maseen, shattered.

Squeak!

I didn't know why a strange scream came from the bead, but the black bead disappeared without a trace.

'Good.'

I put the mace back in my inventory and looked around.

What I wanted was not the High Priest's wealth.

'It should be here since it wasn't on the desk or bookshelf.'

As I looked around, there was something that stood out among the valuable items.

An old box that didn't match the flashy space.

I opened the box right away.

At the same time, a system message appeared.

[You have achieved the achievement 'Destroyer of Maseen's Blessing'.]

[As a reward, you get the land and building of 'Rizes Church branch in Rovel'.]

[You have acquired the land and building of 'Rizes Church branch in Rovel'.]

[You can establish 'Kyros Church Temple'!]

[When you establish 'Kyros Church Temple' for the first time, you will receive 'Temple Master's Robe' and 'One-time Purification Right for Rovel Region' as rewards.]

[Do you want to establish a temple?][Yes/No]

I was a little surprised by several notifications that appeared in an instant.

It seemed that I acquired the land and building documents at once and got the message right away.

Interestingly enough, the land and building documents in the box automatically went into my inventory.

And what was left in the box was what I wanted.

The traces left by the rat who brought Rizes Church to Rovel. I put that in my inventory too and scanned the notifications again.

By the way, the 'Destroyer of Maseen's Blessing' achievement.

It was an achievement that I had never seen in HSAW.

The achievement was one thing, but...

'I didn't expect it to be this serious.'

Even if there was no alarm about the temple, I planned to build Kyros Faith Temple here as soon as I got the documents.

But, they even give rewards for establishing a temple?

'This is a must.'

I immediately pressed 'Yes'.

['Rizes Church branch in Rovel' has been converted to 'Kyros Faith Temple'!]

As soon as the notification appeared, Kyros' excited voice followed.

-My child, thank you. Finally, I have a temple! I will give you a relic.

Of course, the reward was a relic!

Then, a sphere of light appeared.

Just like the first time I received a relic from Kyros, it was a brilliant light.

And as if Kyros was about to manifest, the shape of the light gradually became clear.

I looked at him without blinking.

Kyros' appearance was slowly revealed.

He was floating in the air, looking down at me, and he was still beautiful.

His red hair fluttered in the space where there was no wind, and his golden eyes looking at me were full of mercy.

Although it was awkward to look at him every time he appeared because he was in human form, I couldn't help but admire his smile.

I unknowingly opened my mouth slightly. Kyros handed me the sphere of light.

As if enchanted, I reached out and took it, and a notification appeared.

[You have acquired the relic 'Kyros Faith Temple Master's Robe'.]

[You have acquired the relic 'One-time Purification Right for Rovel Region'.]

At the same time, Kyros opened his mouth.

"Thank you, my child."

With a warm smile, Kyros turned into dust and disappeared.

Kyros' voice sounded the same as when he spoke in my head, but it was much sweeter when I heard it in reality.

Maybe it was because Kyros manifested and spoke to me directly. He felt like a real 'God' to me.

I smiled and muttered.

"You're welcome."

I looked at the sphere of light that he gave me on both hands. The light automatically changed into the shape of a robe. And I couldn't see the other item that Kyros gave me.

I opened my inventory just in case, and there I saw the 'One-time Purification Right for Rovel Region'.

'I'll check this out later.'

For now, I didn't intend to wear the Temple Master's Robe right away, so I put it in my inventory. And then I checked the item information.

[Kyros Faith Temple Master's Robe (Relic)

Grade: Mythical Item

Description: A robe given by Kyros. When wearing the robe and preaching, the probability of the other person becoming a believer increases by 30%.]

Wow. Is this option real?

If I wear the robe and wink, will the probability of making someone a believer be 40 percent?

The probability-type items in Usebeop were mostly applied by addition, so it was reasonable to think so.

'This is cheating.'I wanted to try it on right away, but it was too bothersome to change clothes.

'Hmm.'

But when I played HSAW, set items could be changed automatically by clicking on them in the inventory. So maybe...

I tried putting my hand over the robe in the inventory, and a faint light came out of the clothes I was wearing. And soon, the outfit changed to the Temple Master's Robe automatically.

"Wow."

I exclaimed softly and looked at my inventory. The clothes I was wearing were neatly stored in my inventory.

However, unlike the robe that took up only one slot in my inventory, the clothes I was wearing before each took up a slot.

It seemed that the robe was a set item.

'It's a bit annoying to change back to normal.'

It was the same in HSAW.

I turned around and looked for a mirror. There was a full-length mirror in the High Priest's room.

"The clothes have wings."

The Kyros Faith Temple Master's Robe was mostly white, and it had a uniform-like shape. The top and bottom, as well as the gloves and shoes, were all white.

On top of that, there were fine ornaments made of gold.

-You look very good, my child! You are as beautiful as me, my lamb.

'Really?'

I shrugged my shoulders and looked at another relic in my inventory.

[One-time Purification Right for Rovel Region (Relic)

Grade: Mythical Item

Description: An item containing the power of the god of beauty, Kyros. When used, it purifies the evil aura in the Rovel region once.]

This is...

-My child. There are still people here who are oppressed by the snake. I want to save them.

That's what he meant.

Maybe if I use this purification right, the people who were addicted to 'Happy' will get better.

That's so like Kyros.

'I understand, Kyros.'

There was nothing left for me to do here.

I wondered if I should take the High Priest's wealth, but I decided to leave it for now. I needed money for the temple anyway.

-My little lamb. Now that this place is my temple, I have to plant my power here.

'Like Maseen's blessing?'

-Yes.

As soon as Kyros answered, a white light flowed from my body.

And then a bright light beam burst out, and I felt the power that wrapped around me escape.

I tightly closed my eyes because of the strong light that made it hard to open them.

A few seconds later, when I opened my eyes, I saw that the bodies of the people who were addicted to 'Happy' were clean.

"...Huh? My head doesn't hurt."

"My thirst is gone too."

"Th-the blue spots are gone too!"

The people who were surprised by the change made a noise in my ears.

But, what surprised me was something else.

The blood and corpses that filled the underground prison were all gone.

-I took the souls who obeyed the evil snake. Their souls should have returned to the snake, but then they would not have been saved. So, I purified their corrupted souls and took them in.

Kyros really...

"Excuse me, what happened?"

One of the people who looked older than the others asked me.

"Did you save us? From the endless pain?"

I couldn't answer right away.

There was another new notification in front of me.

[The citizens of Rovel witnessed an amazing sight!]

[Now they will focus on your words! (For 10 minutes, the probability of everyone here becoming a believer of Kyros Faith increases by 50%!)]

This is... crazy!
