It was a figure entirely composed of pure, pristine light, the most flawless and untarnished of women.

 

Her body was translucent gold, radiating a radiance as if it could illuminate everything.

 

Every detail and feature, drawn from Violet’s body, was recreated with an uncanny fidelity, even when magnified three times. The world’s most exceptional craftsmen could not sculpt such a perfect work of art.

 

She smiled, unfurling the resplendent six golden wings behind her, then crouched down and tenderly embraced the black-haired girl from behind. Their wings intermingled, closed in, and transformed into a golden cocoon.

 

The profound force of death collided at the convergence point of the six luminous wings. There was no explosion, no piercing screech. It was as if a bird had struck water, a soft splashing sound, and in an instant, it was swallowed by the golden sea, turning into nothingness.

 

This was a 10th-level Holy Light spell – 【I Am Light】.

 

It was a comprehensive skill that considered all aspects. To learn it, the most basic prerequisite was to accumulate the use of Holy Light spells over a million times.

 

Yes, you read that right – over a million times.

 

From the most basic beginner healing spells to 10th-level and even higher super-advanced spells, every spell counted as long as it belonged to the Holy Light category.

 

However, even if you deliberately cast spells continuously, a regular player could use over a thousand spells in a day at most. After all, mana was not infinite, and people couldn’t spend 24 hours in the game.

 

It took Violet three years to complete the prerequisite for 【I Am Light】. This was the last 10th-level Holy Light spell she had mastered and also the one that took the longest to learn.

 

At least before coming to this world, she had never heard of another player who had learned 【I Am Light】. This showed how difficult the learning process was, and it could be described as inhumane.

 

But everything was worth it. This skill transformed Miss Violet, a priestess.

 

First of all, the moment she completed the prerequisite task, Violet received a hidden achievement and special passive called 【Luminization】. It enhanced the effects of all her Holy Light spells and reduced the MP consumption of all her skills by 50%.

 

【I Am Light】 was also the only 10th-level spell that Violet could cast instantly. In a sense, it had become a passive ability for her.

 

Its effect was to create an incarnation of light based on the user, assisting in combat, defense, and healing. The duration was unlimited, and it not only didn’t require mana to maintain but could even replenish Violet’s MP, accelerating her mana recovery rate.

 

The Light Incarnation had double the HP of the summoner. As long as the Light Incarnation was intact, the priestess Violet would not suffer any damage, effectively raising her HP to three times the original amount.

 

Furthermore, the Light Incarnation had a complete set of skills and combat styles that were independent of Violet, and its overall attributes were linked to the summoner’s intelligence. Its behavior was primarily controlled by Violet.

 

Although it was extremely challenging to learn, this 10th-level magic, known by the player community as “one of the most impossible skills to acquire in the Holy Light category,” was not inferior to actual super-advanced and secret magic.

 

The radiant light safely sent Violet off. Then she stood up, smiled, and grasped the magnificent golden holy spear, floating behind the priest.

 

Even though her size was only half that of 【Death Omen Star】, there was no doubt that this radiant and imposing Light Incarnation completely overwhelmed the opponent’s presence.

 

The Light Incarnation was a powerful holy spirit with both offense and defense, not the kind of makeshift fighting with a priest staff like Violet, who was far from a seasoned warrior at level 110.

 

Although it was just a summon, with Violet’s blessings, she could even engage in a head-to-head battle with Xiao Guang, who was a Holy Crystal Dragon, effectively making Violet temporarily switch to a close combat class.

 

“You… came out unscathed. Is this a Spirit? Why is there a Spirit stronger than a deity?! You’re not a deity at all, Violet… Violet! Where did you come from, you monster?!”

 

【Death Omen Star】, reconstituted into a large eyeball, seemed to be in extreme confusion. Unlike Violet, who remained composed, the Light Incarnation was unreservedly releasing the aura of a level 110, which instilled a deep fear in 【Death Omen Star】 from the bottom of its heart.

 

She couldn’t maintain her composure any longer, and even the black mist surrounding her was almost solidified under the pressure of her aura.

 

“You’re really out of line. Calling a girl a monster and all that. I never claimed to be any kind of fancy god. You’re the one who made strange assumptions about others, and now you’re getting angry after finding out you were wrong. 【Death Omen Star】, are you perhaps too arrogant?”

 

Violet casually twirled her staff, displaying a lack of interest. The Light Incarnation behind her also made a similar gesture, but in her case, it was her nearly ten-meter-long holy spear, which had an entirely different level of intimidation.

 

“You, you…”

 

“Aren’t you going to continue attacking? I was just getting ready to start. Don’t tell me you’re out of tricks?”

 

The Miss priestess, with her silvery-blue irises, showed a hint of disappointment.

 

Honestly, it seemed like she had overestimated this 【Death Omen Star】 a bit. She had initially thought that with its peculiar and bizarre appearance, it might be a formidable opponent that would require some effort to deal with.

 

While the Law of Death resembled the insta-kill effect in the game, Violet couldn’t be certain if they were the same thing. That’s why she decided to use 【I Am Light】.

 

As a result, even if the insta-kill effect had truly triggered, it would have been the Light Incarnation that was eliminated, but it turned out the worst-case scenario didn’t materialize. The Light Incarnation only suffered a fixed amount of damage, probably around a few thousand points. Compared to her nearly five million total HP, it was rather meager. Violet didn’t even feel like bothering to heal it.

 

She couldn’t help but chuckle. She felt like a bit of a fool for treating it as a formidable opponent.

 

“Go!”

 

Violet, composed of pure light, spread her six wings lightly, creating an ethereal afterimage, and instantly appeared just above the giant eyeball.

 

The holy spear danced a brilliant arc, rising high, extending endlessly until it was no longer visible at its peak, as if light pouring from the celestial dome.

 

Then, it fell at a speed that didn’t match its size.

 

Squish.

 

Like a hot blade cutting through solid butter, the giant eyeball was powerless to resist, and its entire body, including the black death light it emitted in retaliation, was instantly split in two.

 

And when the holy spear cut down the 【Death Omen Star】, the spear itself, which seemed like it would cleave the earth along with it, naturally dissipated in the air. It precisely cut through the enemy’s body without causing any unnecessary destruction.

 

The embodiment of light was half of Violet, and as a priestess, she never engaged in meaningless slaughter.

 

After the dispersion of the 【Death Omen Star】, countless streams of light returned to the heavens like reversed falling stars, creating quite a spectacular sight.

 

It’s a pity that those beams of light seemed to be in a hurry, as if they were being chased by something terrifying, and they no longer had the elegance of their initial descent.

 

The massive black sphere disappeared in an instant, leaving only a sleek, fox-girl falling from the sky, apparently in a state of unconsciousness.

 

“Huh…?”

 

Violet hesitated for a moment before realizing that this must be the summoner of the 【Death Omen Star】, the little fox named Mevis.

 

She reached out to catch the pink and white fox, preventing her from having an intimate encounter with the ground. 

 

Although the slightly slippery sensation on her fingertips made the priestess slightly uneasy, the furry tail of the little fox hung around Violet’s neck due to the fall, feeling a bit itchy but also comfortable.

 

Nevertheless, she decisively pulled a piece of white cloth from her backpack and covered the fox to hide its seductive charm. Even though they were both girls now, this level of exposure might not be a big deal, but Violet, who used to be a man, still felt a bit awkward.

 

It wasn’t until the white cloth shrank and automatically transformed into a clean and simple long skirt on Mevis that the embarrassment began to subside.

 

Violet then noticed what she had just taken out of her inventory. Yes, it was the equipment she had obtained from the two mummies she had defeated earlier. She remembered it was called the 【Robe of the Undead】, although it seemed a bit damaged, it should still be usable.

 

Speaking of which…

 

Violet looked around at the desolate ground turned into a “Zone of Death” by the 【Death Omen Star】 but found nothing of value.

 

Hey, isn’t this guy supposed to be an elite monster at least? Did it really not drop any equipment?

 

After all the fighting, the only thing she had gained was this furry fox, but what use did that have? She couldn’t just take her as a pet, even though she looked quite beautiful.

 

Well, forget it. It was originally part of the job she agreed to with Lilya, and that thing called the 【Death Omen Star】 provided quite a bit of useful information.

 

As for the 【Robe of the Undead】, let’s consider it a creative use.

 

Since she had already put it on the other girl, Violet had no intention of taking it back. After all, it wasn’t anything particularly valuable, and maybe it could create some goodwill.

 

Although she and the little fox were technically on opposing sides, there was no real animosity between them. Even the [Death Omen Star], which Violet had beaten up, felt more like another consciousness that had gained access to Miss Mevis’s memories. Mevis herself had probably fainted at the beginning of the summoning.

 

After all, the massive hole in her chest was real, and just surviving that was already impressive enough…

 

As for putting equipment originally worn by a mummy on a delicate little fox, Violet could only say that in the game, there were several pieces of equipment taken from monsters, and using what you had was the most important thing!

 

Moreover, the 【Robe of the Undead】 seemed to match the theme of the [Death Omen Star], so it was all fate. It wasn’t because she found it a bit distasteful.

 

She gently placed the heavily wounded fox-girl on the ground but intentionally didn’t use her healing abilities on her.

 

After all, both sides were still in the middle of a battle, and sparing the fox-girl’s life was already a questionable decision, considering the circumstances. As a priestess, Violet couldn’t afford to be overly kind. And if she healed Mevis, there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t continue to pursue Lilya, so it was better to let her rest for now.

 

The golden-haired dragon girl appeared by Violet’s side, pouting in a dejected manner. As a guardian pet, watching her owner fight alone while she just stood on the sidelines was undoubtedly a bit uncomfortable.

 

“Master, why won’t you let me join in…?”

 

“I can’t rely on Xiao Guang for everything, especially since she’s not too weak or too strong. Using her to practice is just right. So that in case we encounter a really tough opponent in the future, we won’t be lacking in combat experience. Good girl, I know you care about me, be obedient~”

 

As she spoke, Violet skillfully used a head-pat technique, raised herself on her tiptoes, and pressed her own pet’s soft, pink cheek against hers, gently caressing it to comfort her.

 

The cunning priestess had completely grasped the dragon girl’s lifeline, and with a few strokes, she coaxed her to the point where her tail started wagging back and forth. The dragon girl had a satisfied expression and didn’t care about what happened earlier.

 

“Mm-hmm… Since Master says so…”

 

The dragon girl nodded obediently and stopped throwing a tantrum. However, after they separated, she still couldn’t help stealing a few glances at the smooth cheeks of the black-haired girl, and for some reason, she subconsciously licked her tongue.

 

Violet didn’t notice this minor detail. Rarely getting a break from work, she wasn’t planning to immediately go find Lilya. With Xiao Guang by her side, that girl should still be safe.

 

“So, as compensation for your hard work as my substitute for so long, how about Xiao Guang transforms into her true form this time, and we fly around in the sky for a bit?”

 

“Roar! Really, Master?”

 

Her dragon tail started swaying.

 

“Of course, when has Master ever lied to you? Let me think… What was the name of that lake Lilya mentioned…?”

 

“Well, forget it, it doesn’t matter. Xiao Guang can just fly to the east! We can’t lose track with so many troops, right? Let’s go!”

 

“Let’s go!!”

 

The dragon girl excitedly leaped in place and transformed into a graceful white-gold dragon dozens of meters long. Violet also dispelled her embodiment of light, spread her wings, and landed on Xiao Guang’s back, grabbing onto one of her scales.

 

“Roar! Master, hold on tight!”

 

A strong wind blew, and the dragon took to the sky. Only the poor little fox-girl was left behind in the chaotic battlefield that followed the battle.

 

The beastman army would soon find her, but at least Mevis probably wouldn’t have a chance to participate in this war again.
