With a solid punch, Natsuki landed his right fist of justice deep into the Trork's buttocks, causing it to melt underneath the intense light emitted by Natsuki's blazing fists. Roaring in pain, the Trork leapt high up into the air, clutching his burning ass as molten, shadowy flesh dripped from the cracks in his fingers.
Clutching this instance, Natsuki quickly barrlee towards the veiled woman, who, shell-shocked, could only watch, mouth agape, at the brave (and completely suicidal maniac) man who had come and attacked a Silver level Trork with only a Stone level power. Though even she knew that his attacks were suicidal, she utilised this tiny crack of an opportunity to push herself and her last remaining guard to the side, going behind a large tree in order to catch her breath from the attack. "Damn it, why did that troublemaker have go and attack that stupid oaf a beast!? Can't he just stay quietly in one position and not poke his nose in affairs that are not our own, FOR EVEN ONE SECOND!? Sheesh..."
Though Celestina could feel the venom in her voice, the crazy looking woman (though she did not want to admit it, she looked far better than her...) began tending to their wounds, taking out what felt like magical bandages and holy water, for they cured their tiny wounds instantaneously (Shadow energy was still flowing through their large wounds, and only being back at the Central Church would Celestina be able to harness the complete power of Erudia and dispel the entirety of the foul,corrupting power of the Shadow Monarch.
But what awestruck her the most was that, despite being 3 levels lower than the Trork, the young man was easily able to counter each and every attack done by the damned beast. What's more, the green glow given by the young man gave her an indescribable sense of comfort...
A comfort she only ever felt when the great lord Erudia Himself selected her as the Great Saintess of the Church
Can it really be...
With hope in her eyes, Celestina could only watch silently as the young, bold man continued dismantling the corrupted Trork, bit by bit, until it slowly dissolved into a sludgy puddle...

It had been nearly two days since the youngsters left their nest and followed the quirky duo from Feonia into completing their new 'quest'. Sure, they were brought in to help them find and collect souls to hand over to the BOR, to further teach them the ropes (especially the newbie), but who said they couldn't have some fun?
But giving higher priority to the natives over their job?
Nah, he drew the line here
But what infuriated him the most was that the old man deigned it permissible for them to play around!
Okay fine, he couldn't argue here; half of the shit they brought to help them began malfunctioning, not to mention that this whole mission in on itself was a giant shitshow! I mean, quite a few Collectors themsleves perished here, and didn't enter the cycle of reincarnation!
But what worries me the most here is that the disturbance has increased, as if wee have entered theblair of the beast itself! The annoying thing is that I'm a master of machine, not magic! Why'd they send me of all people!?
Sighing despondently, he walked down the street, hands in his pockets. As he walked down the streets, he heard some somber music coming down one of the shops. Glancing there, he realised that it was safe funeral parlour, and today they were doing the last funeral rites for some rando who had kicked the bucket.
Though he initially deigned it useless, his curiosity got the better of him, causing him to veer off track, and head to the parlour. As an itch of his, he decided to take out the detector and scan the parlour, just for the heck of it, even though whoever they were inside did not have their name written on the list.
What he saw next froze his soul
Instead of the soul ascending into the atmosphere, it veered off track, where it was the seen heading straight towards the mountain...
Where the Church was stationed
What the heck on Aeronia is going on here!?
