Sacred Souls: Genesis - Chapter 378

Chapter 378: Chapter 365: Trouble Comes (1st Update) Chapter 378: Chapter 365: Trouble Comes (1st Update) “I am Fureya, the Servant of the Holy Spirit.”

Because of Jiang Qiao’s influence, Fureya, the Guardian Spirit, was learning about emotions at a rapid pace. Her emotional tendencies were now leaning towards a sisterly character.

Therefore, when confronted with the Calamity Lady’s questioning… Fureya did not show a hint of fear. Instead, she introduced herself very openly.

“Servant… I see more of a watcher!” The Calamity Lady raised the firearm in her hand and aimed it at Fureya, but Juan Canyun took his chance to stand in front of Fureya.

“Move aside! Kid… She is an incarnation of the Devouring God. Killing her would help you greatly in breaking free from the control of the Devouring God!”

In the mind of the Calamity Lady, since Juan Canyun had risked himself to save her, he had already betrayed all the Holy Spirits and the Devouring God… Yet the connection between Juan Canyun as a Holy Spirit and the Devouring God still existed.

Thus, the Calamity Lady had to find a way to cut through the ‘chains’ the Devouring God had put on Juan Canyun, and this mysterious puppet could very well represent those ‘chains’.

“Control by the Devouring God? What kind of setting is that? She is my… my friend.” Juan Canyun halfway through squeezed out this descriptor, “Madam, please put the gun down first!”

The Calamity Lady watched Juan Canyun standing in front of Fureya, clenching her teeth without saying anything, as scorching blood gushed up her throat and coughed out of her mouth.

She was beaten so badly by the Holy Spirit, and even though Juan Canyun had rescued her, the Calamity Lady was still afflicted with a multitude of negative statuses, her life steadily declining.

The series of negative statuses was so debilitating that she no longer had the strength to lift the gun, let alone aim; even the Calamity Lady’s brain was somewhat dazed.

“Healing… these should work.”

Juan Canyun took out a bunch of potent healing potions and powerful antidotes from his backpack and poured them all over the Calamity Lady.

The healing potions did not restore the Calamity Lady’s health, but the antidotes proved effective, removing all her negative statuses with the potent detoxifiers.

But the in-game negative statuses were gone, the injuries in reality still made the Calamity Lady look quite alarming.

“Why is it still bleeding?” Juan Canyun glanced at his palm, already stained with copious amounts of the Calamity Lady’s blood. He had never seen so much plasma playing as a Holy Spirit for such a long time.

“Please allow me to do this, Holy Spirit.”

At this moment, Fureya approached the Calamity Lady. Juan Canyun’s Fureya knelt in front of him and extended her hands to hold the Calamity Lady’s still bloody right arm.

Healing magic power flowed into the Calamity Lady’s body… Fureya and her kind were naturally skilled in a variety of healing magics, which players could use in times of low health within Fureya’s room for treatment, although this feature was not frequently utilized by players.

Juan Canyun had never used it before, and he had not expected Fureya’s first healing to be bestowed upon a… female pirate?

After the Calamity Lady’s injuries gradually healed, she suddenly awoke from her dazed state and immediately withdrew her hand that Fureya was holding.

“I have healing potions! Don’t come any closer!” The Calamity Lady looked at Fureya with constant vigilance, for in her eyes, Fureya was the incarnation of the Devouring God.

The atmosphere in the room became extremely tense at that moment. Yet this tension was broken by the sound of urgent knocking on the door.

“Open the door! Open up quickly! How can you dare to steal a woman but not dare to open the door? I know you’re in there! Open it now!”

The hurried knocking and shouting outside made the Calamity Lady immediately redirect her hostility towards the door.

“Kid! Where are we now?” Mrs. Calamity only just realized, she hadn’t even asked Juan Canyun where this room was located!

“We are in the stronghold of our guild.”

Mrs. Calamity was tense all over, whereas Juan Canyun seemed incredibly relaxed, as he had just received a slew of requests to visit his room, Fureya’s, from within the Dancing Nuclear Guild.

The one knocking on the door outside was a plush rabbit.

“The Holy Spirit Guild’s stronghold! Damn it! Is this another trap of the Devouring God?” Mrs. Calamity’s voice became somewhat distorted when she learned that the room was situated in the Holy Spirit’s headquarters.

She had thought that Juan Canyun had teleported her to a secret room on Biland Island!

“The chairman and others are looking for me, I… should go out and have a talk with them.” During that time, Juan Canyun saw a new status added to Fureya’s status bar – the protection of a Divine Fragment.

‘Protection of the Divine Fragment: When an outsider enters the room where Fureya resides, the Divine Fragment hidden within Fureya will provide protection. For twenty-four hours, Fureya will obtain an unbreakable shield, cooling down in seventy-two hours.’
This was also the reason why Juan Canyun felt at ease leaving Mrs. Calamity there alone while he himself left Fureya’s room.

“Wait a moment!” Mrs. Calamity tried to grab Juan Canyun, but as she reached out her hand… Juan Canyun’s figure had already disappeared within the room. “Damn it!”

This made Mrs. Calamity angrily knock her hand against the floor.

“You seem very worried about the Holy Spirit… going out?” Fureya, who was beside her, tilted her head in confusion at Mrs. Calamity’s agitated behavior.

“Because those Holy Spirits outside are here to catch him!”

“Why would they capture him when everyone outside is a friend of the Holy Spirit whom I serve?”

Fureya’s question… did it cause a sting of conscience in Mrs. Calamity?

“Because he betrayed all the Holy Spirits for me! You puppet, don’t you know anything? How do we get out of this damn place? The window?”

Mrs. Calamity hurriedly stood up wanting to leave the room. In her view, it was Juan Canyun who left the room alone to buy her time.

When Mrs. Calamity ran to the window of Fureya’s room, she saw the forces of the Holy Spirit surrounding Juan Canyun outside the stronghold.

“Dancing Nuclear, what exactly happened? You owe me an explanation.”

“Is Mrs. Calamity really inside?”

“We heard that Mrs. Calamity had been corrupted by the Abyss and turned traitor?”

Just then, members from the Abyss Temple, Cola Fanatics, Night Sprinters, and the Gray Eyes Association rushed over. The Cola Fanatics were there for the spectacle, while the Abyss Temple and Night Sprinters belonged to the planar pirate faction; their faction leader suddenly became a monster on the loose that was beaten half to death, and they still hadn’t figured out what was going on.

“Hey! Holy Spirits! None of this has anything to do with him!” Mrs. Calamity shouted out the window at the group of Holy Spirits outside.

At that moment, in Mrs. Calamity’s eyes, all these Holy Spirits had come to denounce Juan Canyun, the traitor! No… it was more like a trial!
