108. An Easy to Understand Dummy (Part 2)
Actually, it took Reina a long time to accept the fact that “Little Cal is Calysia.”
The so-called system, Little Cal, had been the Dragon King, secretly monitoring her all along.
But what was interesting was that Reina found she wasn’t angry.
Every time she entered the [Place of Prayer], Calysia would appear expressionless.
She wouldn’t even react to Reina’s scolding and complaints, answering each of her questions one by one.
So, Reina suddenly found Calysia quite cute.
Moreover, she had almost never deceived Reina… even when she was “Little Cal.”
What a poor, love-deprived little dragon.
Meanwhile, Little Cal… or rather, the incarnation of Calysia, blushed and looked away, not daring to say anything, her words faltering. She blinked and stole a glance at Reina, and was caught red-handed.
“Master~♡”
Reina said with a mischievous smile.
This was Calysia’s most irresistible move!
But Calysia didn’t look shy. A single tear rolled down her cheek, and then a purple light flashed from her body. When the light faded, she had vanished from the bed.
Reina sat up, looking around, but couldn’t find Calysia. Remembering the tear she had left behind, she looked at the scenery outside the window with some regret. Besides the lingering scent of Calysia, there was only the gentle breeze.
This was the first time she had been in the [Place of Prayer] without Little Cal.
Was Calysia angry?
…
Reina returned to the real world.
As soon as she returned, she was annoyed by the commotion on her clone’s side.
After transferring her consciousness, Reina discovered that the theocratic nation was in an unprecedented crisis.
The city was in turmoil, smoke rising everywhere. Unfinished houses were abandoned, and the cries of humans could be heard from time to time.
Reina’s clone was wearing a standard nun’s habit, a black shirt and a white sash with a cross pattern forming her top, her lower body covered by a long black robe, her white stockings and absolute territory faintly visible beneath the fabric.
Reina left the church.
“Lei, something’s wrong! Something’s happened!”
Before Reina had walked fifty meters, a nun with glasses caught up to her, shouting.
In the human world, she went by the name Lei. This glasses-wearing nun was her classmate, and they had been promoted from trainee nuns to official nuns together, working in the same church.
They had a decent relationship.
Reina nodded and continued walking forward.
“Lei, where are you going? We… we need to take shelter!”
“Why do we need to take shelter?”
“The theocratic nation is under attack by orcs!”
Reina’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Without another word, she continued walking forward, her expression grave.
—The orcs’ actions were faster than she had imagined.
The blood race and the dragon race had already formed a united front, an undeniable fact that the orcs couldn’t interfere with.
If they wanted to deal with the blood race, they would also have to face the dragon race, and vice versa.
So their target naturally shifted back to the humans.
While the orcs were attacking the blood race, the humans had been constantly reclaiming their territory from the orcs. And now that the orcs had ceased their hostilities with the blood race, their attention naturally shifted back to the humans.
This was all within Reina’s expectations.
She had originally thought that the Saintess would negotiate a peace treaty with the demons in the next few days and join forces against the orcs, but the Saintess had taken no action, pinning all her hopes on a non-existent Goddess of Light.
The orcs’ actions were faster than she had imagined—they had attacked before the wedding.
And humanity’s actions were slower than she had imagined.
Thus, the current predicament.
But Reina already had a “Plan B.”
This way, it would be simpler and more direct.
Reina walked against the crowd, all the way to the city gate.
“Hey, Lei! Don’t go! What are you doing?!”
The glasses-wearing nun was still chasing after her.
Reina just glanced at her, didn’t reply, and with a light leap, jumped onto the city wall, dozens of meters high.
She stepped over the broken wooden stakes on the incomplete wall, looked down, and once again witnessed the scene of the orcs at the city gates.
—As expected, it wasn’t their main force.
To dispatch their main force to attack humanity, they would have to be wary of the dragon race taking advantage of the situation.
Therefore, it would take at least a month to prepare.
It seemed the Beast King wasn’t that stupid.
But when Reina learned that humanity was so terrified by the orcs’ non-main force, panic-stricken and in disarray, a surge of anger welled up within her.
She didn’t want to waste any time.
“The orcs are so bold. Don’t they know what elegance is? My wedding is in less than a week, and they’re making such a fuss.”
She muttered to herself, full of resentment.
More importantly—Calysia was angry.
According to her original plan, Reina would wait for the Saintess to handle the situation herself.
But she really wanted to know why the Dragon King was angry, and the longer she delayed, the more restless she became. Therefore, she decided to use the simplest method to end this battle and prevent any possible accidents.
“[Blazing Sunfire]”
Reina raised her hand.
Then she quickly lowered it, jumped down from the city wall, and walked away leisurely.
The orc army below was completely clueless. Suddenly, someone felt the intense heat in the air and pointed to the sky, shouting:
“Look at the sky—!”
“What is that, damn it!”
“Is it the Goddess of Light again?”
A fireball descended from the sky, emitting a dazzling light like the dawn.
And as it got closer, the fireball became hotter and larger.
A few seconds later, the fireball suddenly exploded above the orcs’ heads, and a golden flash instantly lit up the night sky.
Then, countless small fireballs rained down, exploding like cannonballs in the orc army. Cries of agony filled the air as they were blown to pieces, a scene of carnage. Wave after wave of shockwaves sent them flying into the air, and flames and explosions spread throughout the orc army.
The orc army was caught off guard by this sudden magic attack. Without a competent general to lead them, they lost their will to fight and fled in disarray.
Just then, the glasses-wearing nun, who was still looking for Reina amidst the chaos, suddenly widened her eyes, staring at the spectacular scene in disbelief.
“Light…”
Soon, she bumped into the slowly descending Reina.
She was about to say something when she suddenly realized an important fact.
She looked at the approaching blue-haired nun, surprised and delighted:
“Lei, could it be… you… you’re…?”
Before she could finish, Reina patted her shoulder, her expression cold, but a smile appeared at the corners of her lips:
“Don’t tell anyone~”
…
Five minutes later, the Holy Knights led by the Saintess arrived late.
She looked at the remaining light fire in the sky, a look of shame on her face.
She walked alone onto the scorched earth, lowered her head, and said:
“I’m sorry, Goddess of Light, for letting you down.”
“This must be your reminder to us…”
“We will act according to your will and never disobey again.”
Just then, the Saintess suddenly remembered something.
Since the Goddess of Light could react faster than her and end the battle in just a few minutes,
Could it be that her true form was within the theocratic nation?
No…
Perhaps she was hidden in the church.
But there were many people there, a mixed crowd. How could she possibly find the Goddess so easily?
Just then, the Saintess recalled an important figure.
—The newcomer, Miss Lei, who had requested permission to access the forbidden library.
“I understand, Goddess of Light…”
Agnes stood up, clasped her hands together, and looked up, her golden eyes shimmering slightly.
