Chapter 74 You Have 5 Years

"Our master is dying because of the surprise attack of Aros." The angel said, sadness was apparent in her robotic voice.

'That is rather unexpected.' I thought after hearing the words of the angel.

Because dying was close to impossible for the divine beings. They have near infinite vitality that doesn't even let them die even if their head is crushed to a pulp, so they can't even commit suicide after they got bored with life.

Only someone with greater power than the said divine being can kill them with very long battles that last months.

So it was surprising that Ilelia was dying even if she was ambushed by Aros, Devil of Death and Souls himself.

'She was probably in a weak state because of my saint transformation and Aros used this weakness to try to kill her.'

After thinking like this, the first thing that came to my mind was abandoning the saint position immediately. As I didn't want to trouble myself with the incoming chaos that will happen after a divine being died.

Though I didn't act immediately as saving a dying goddess would be more beneficial for me in the long run.

Thus I decided to listen first before departing from the bad investment of Ilelia church.

My expression paled and my lips trembled with worry while looking at the angel, then spoke with a shaking voice:

"Do you telling the truth? Is my goddess really dying?"

The angel didn't speak just observed me like a statue, as she was speaking to me via the statue.

After receiving no response from the angel I spoke again quickly:

"I know many things that can help a divine being…"

I began to say every ultra rare material that can help a divine being.

"Elven tear, An adult dragon's heart, Sacred fruit of heaven, Soul of a Demon or Demigod, anything… but I need to know my goddess's condition to help her. Please tell me with more details!"

My loud voice boomed in the empty room while a few tears escaped my jewel like crystal blue eyes.

It was my most touching acting and I was sure that it would work on the robotic angel who observes closely.

"You are more devoted than most like you are knowledgeable but still I can't tell you my master's exact condition, as it would be a disaster if someone read your mind. All you have to know is, my master's soul is in critical condition rather than her body. Do you know a way to heal a divine soul of the caliber of my master's soul?"

Well, I knew a few treasures and ways to heal a soul injury but I didn't know if it would work on Ilelia as she was a divine being, her soul was different than normal mundane souls.

But she didn't need to know this particular information, hence I spoke with an unsure expression:

"I certainly know many ways to heal an injured soul but I don't know if it would work on my goddess's divine soul, but if there is a chance of healing my goddess, I will do my best!"

A stillness came to the empty room after my speech. The angel didn't talk and I waited for the reply of the angel.

A while later, about 10 minutes, the angel spoke with a commanding tone:

"You have 5 days to prepare and say goodbye to your acquaintances after that you have 5 years to find the materials to heal my master. If you can't find the materials or heal my master, my master will die and you will die by my hands."

'What a murderous robot, or angel.' I thought but nodded, then said quietly:

"I will do my best to heal my goddess if I can't heal her then there is no reason for me to live anymore."

The angel looked at me with shining eyes and spoke with a slightly impressed tone:

"I will put a battle priest at your side for extra support. So, do your best, mortal saint."

After saying this, the angel left the statue and I coughed up the blood on my throat.

'Bitch if you are harming me like this, then heal me before going.' I thought and drank a healing potion that I took out from my storage artifact.

After healing my injuries caused by murderous pressure, I began to think about what this angel said.

I had 5 years to heal Ilelia or else that angel will kill me and I didn't have any definitive way to heal Ilelia.

'Should I go to the kingdom of elves? World tree is a sacred natural treasure that can be used for almost anything, so I can probably heal Ilelia with it. Though elves would torture me for an eternity if I harm the world tree, so it would be best to do something sneaky.'

'Though Mana Races Unity too is a very wealthy place with filled with very different species maybe I can find a young dragon that I can pull out their heart or a fairy that I can grind to dust.' I thought and began to think about the battle priest that the angel said.

'Why does that angel going to send a battle priest to my side? Probably It is to watch my movement through the battle priest and help me with the hard situations that I can't handle it.'

'Well, I should first say my goodbye to Lucy and do something to appease her hunger for me without giving her too much hope. Not seeing me for 5 whole years would make her crazy and although I don't think that she can forget me and go to another man. I think I can just order Yarin to kill every man who gets too close to Lucy. And there is the Katie whose contract will end while I am away, I should kill her too, I am lucky to have Yarin on my side if necessary she can kill Katie too.'

(Katie is Lucy's maid who can't speak or get close to Lucy because of the contract.)
