Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 454: Chapter 182: Successfully Conquering the Saintess (Part 2)

At this critical moment, the Royal Knight Order actually chose the path of annexing the Holy Light Church.

If Duke Frost Wolf succeeds, the Holy Light Church will disappear forever, leaving only the Dawn Sect.

The Silver Moon Saintess began to ponder whether she should reach out to the Dawn Sect.

Duke Frost Wolf, who controls the Holy Scripture of Light, can indeed act as one of the agents of Holy Light.

This also left some bishops and priests of the Holy Light Church feeling bewildered, unsure of how to choose.

There are internal divisions within the Holy Light Church.

Some high-tier holy professionals believe that the Dawn Sect’s ideas are a betrayal of the Holy Light Church’s traditions and should be firmly resisted.

While others believe this is an opportunity, a chance to reform the Church to better meet the needs of the new era.

These enlightened holy professionals and believers think that the ideas of the Dawn Sect might represent progress.

They believe that properly handling the relationship between divine and royal power could bring more stability and prosperity.

These people began openly supporting the Dawn Sect and advocating for reforms within the Church, trying to find a new balance.

The Silver Moon Saintess understands Duke Frost Wolf’s power and ambition, as well as the growing rift between the Royal Knight Order and the Holy Light Church.

At this crucial moment, she begins secretly meeting with Duke Frost Wolf, trying to understand his true intentions and seeking ways to protect the Church’s interests.

She hopes to find a compromise that preserves the Church’s independence while achieving some cooperation with the Dawn Sect.

The future of Bright Continent is filled with uncertainty.

The rise of the Dawn Sect, the clash between divine and royal power, and the strategies of various forces are all affecting the fate of the continent.

Especially in this era of demon tide turbulence, every decision could change the course of history.

...

Inside the study of Frost Wolf Castle.

The Silver Moon Saintess and David sit facing each other, their gazes meeting in the flickering candlelight.

The Saintess’s eyes are filled with vigilance and scrutiny, while David appears confident and earnest.

The Silver Moon Saintess breaks the silence first:

"Duke Frost Wolf, you claim to want to merge divine and royal power, but can such a method truly bring peace and prosperity?"

"Or is this just an expansion of your personal power?"

David smiles slightly, his voice steady and powerful: "Silver Moon Saintess, I understand your concerns."

"But I assure you, my goal is the development of the entire Bright Continent."

"The Holy Light Church has existed for centuries, its traditions and doctrines bringing comfort and guidance to countless people."

"However, times are changing, and so is the world. We cannot cling to old models; we should seek new paths."

The Saintess fixes her gaze on David, her tone filled with skepticism:

"A new path? You mean merging the Holy Light Church into your Dawn Sect, making it a tool of your power?"

David shakes his head, his gaze candid: "Holy Light belongs to everyone; it should not be monopolized by any organization or individual."

The Silver Moon Saintess listens to his words, then suddenly stands up, exclaiming sternly, "Absurd! Holy Light belongs to the Holy Light God!"

"No, Holy Light belongs to each of us."

"It was the Holy Light God who stole the power of Holy Light; each person should have the right to grasp Holy Light."

As David holds the Holy Scripture of Light, the power of Holy Light surges through him, refuting the words of the Silver Moon Saintess.

He himself does not believe in the Holy Light God, yet he possesses the power of Holy Light.

This is most puzzling to the Saintess.

Everyone else believes Duke Frost Wolf is a believer in Holy Light.

But after spending a long time with Duke Frost Wolf, the Saintess clearly knows that he has never believed in the Holy Light God!

The Silver Moon Saintess’s gaze is tightly locked on the Holy Scripture of Light in David’s hand; the surging power of Holy Light feels both familiar and strange.

She knows this scripture is the Holy Light Church’s treasure, containing supreme divine power.

Yet the man before her, who does not believe in the Holy Light God, can wield it.

This deepens the mystery in her heart.

Is it possible that one does not need to believe in the Holy Light God to gain the power of Holy Light?

David notices the change in the Saintess’s gaze and slowly says, "I know this perplexes you, Silver Moon Saintess."

"But Holy Light should be a universal power; anyone with good intentions should be able to access and use it."

The Saintess takes a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil within her.

She sits down again, still scrutinizing, watching Duke Frost Wolf in silence.

"If you don’t believe me, I can prove it to you right now."

David’s gaze constantly roams over the Saintess sitting before him; he has never given up on conquering this Saintess.

"What do you need me to do?" the Silver Moon Saintess suddenly asks.

"I contain the power of Holy Light within me."

"As long as you combine with me, the Holy Light power within you can break through."

Upon hearing his words, the Silver Moon Saintess’s gaze flickers slightly, aware that Duke Frost Wolf has never given up.

Upon hearing this, David’s gaze condenses, and he steps forward, lifting the Silver Moon Saintess into his arms without comment, heading to the adjacent room.

The Silver Moon Saintess keeps her eyes closed, allowing Duke Frost Wolf to act.

Yet as a cultivation session concludes, she suddenly feels a Holy Light power from Duke Frost Wolf merging into her spiritual world.

This sensation is incredibly strange, giving her the feeling of touching the Holy Light Origin.

[You completed a cultivation session, Light Attribute Talent +8956]

David exhales slightly, glancing at the system’s prompt, slightly taken aback.

In this period, the Silver Moon Saintess has elevated the Holy Light power to Tier Six, and it is not merely just reaching Tier Six.

This immediately piques his interest.

Now his Light Attribute Talent is high, and it won’t be long before he reaches the extraordinary.

If he can condense the Heart of Light Attribute, his mastery of Holy Light power will surely be more convincing.

Moreover, if he can condense the Light Attribute Spirit, David feels he can rely on it for sacrifices from Holy Light Believers.

With this thought, he resumes cultivation with the Silver Moon Saintess.

He doesn’t know if she will agree to dual cultivation with him again if this opportunity is lost.

Thus, time passes bit by bit.

David’s light attribute talent experience continues to increase.

The Silver Moon Saintess feels the constant infusion of Holy Light power into her spiritual world.

As time goes by, the atmosphere in the room becomes nuanced.

The Silver Moon Saintess and David sit across from each other, Holy Light power in their spiritual worlds continually merging and growing.

This strange phenomenon fills the Silver Moon Saintess with surprise and confusion.

She distinctly feels the Holy Light power within her rising, typically only happening during fervent prayer and deep meditation.

Yet now, this growth occurs during the cultivation process with David, which leaves her dumbfounded.

Full of questions, she asks, "Lord Duke, does your body truly possess the most original power of Holy Light?"

David smiles slightly; this is the first time the Silver Moon Saintess spoke during cultivation.

He knows the Silver Moon Saintess’s heart has started to waver, beginning to seriously consider his previous words.

"Silver Moon Saintess, I believe it’s because our interaction touched upon the core of Holy Light."

"We are exploring the true meaning of Holy Light, which itself holds great power."

"The Holy Light powers within us resonated in this exchange, sparking our intrinsic Holy Light powers."

The Silver Moon Saintess frowns slightly, understanding David’s words but finding them hard to accept.

She has always believed that elevating Holy Light power requires strict religious ceremonies and devout faith.

Now, David’s words seem to challenge the foundations of her longstanding beliefs.

"The power of Holy Light does not solely belong to the Holy Light God; it also belongs to all who pursue the light," David speaks again.

The Silver Moon Saintess is stunned.

At the next moment, she suddenly feels another burst of energy merging into her body.

And this time, it seems some transformation is taking place in the Holy Light within her spiritual world.

The Holy Light within herself is evolving under Duke Frost Wolf’s assistance!

She begins to feel the Holy Light within her subtly changing, a new sensation spreading in her spiritual world.

The Silver Moon Saintess closes her eyes, fully concentrating on sensing this change in power.

She discovers the Holy Light gradually condensing, becoming more pure and bright, giving her the feeling of freely mastering Holy Light power!
