That pale hand grabbed the side of the coffin firmly. Black nails sparkled like sparkling steel nails adorning every tissue. As the figure in the coffin sat in the coffin, I was finally able to clearly see the figure.
His figure was a man with a pale face like a corpse. Her hair was long black like hair that had not been cut for a long time. Her lips were thin in purple, and her nose was small, making her face look beautiful like a woman. His left hand grabbed his forehead and put aside the long black hair that was waving on his face.
The man's eyes were straight at me. In his eyes there were absolutely no white sclera, all of them were just pitch-black eyeballs like a ravine. When he saw me, his thin purple lips were slightly turned upside down, showing a cruel and indescribable smile.
His body slowly floated above the coffin. As a black purple aura spread from his body, a powerful aura instantly suppressed everyone below.
Filia:"Tier four?!."
From the aura he exuded, I was certain that the figure possessed a bona fide Tier four ability. This surprised me a little. Dark Creature Tier four proved that Dark Creature never changes body due to greed for momentary power, but he is a Dark Creature who is patient and has gone through hard work from the beginning to break the boundaries of Dark Creature.
However, I sensed that his body was emitting an atmosphere of weakness that might be the effect of him being sealed for a long time inside that coffin. Such a thing was very reasonable and it took a while to recover it, at least to restore its combat effectiveness back to the top.
Even though his combat effectiveness was decreasing, but I could not be careless and started to prepare to fight him using all my abilities...

(Euriga Theocracy, capital of Grandnight)....
5 months ago...
The House of Starlight is a complex of religious and governmental centers within the state structure of the Euriga Theocracy, consisting of many Greek architectural buildings. One of the largest and spacious main buildings is dominated by white and blue gold looks luxurious and majestic.
The building looks like a temple of Athena worship in ancient Greece with many stairs and pillars of support that are large and towering, it's just that the House of Starlight building looks much wider and larger than the Greek buildings on earth.
Entering the main building is a huge chapel that can accommodate several thousand people. In this chapel there are no chairs, only a spacious room that is empty. At the end of the room was a wide platform with a small pond and a statue of a woman with seven silver balls floating around it.
This chapel room is very special because once inside, you will feel like entering a starry sky with many stars and galaxies flashing. The room was very dim with the soft light of the seven silver spheres and the light of the small stars flashing throughout the room.
Thousands of people who were divided into three lines knelt solemnly while reciting songs for the Goddess of starlight. The first row closest to the statue consists of hundreds of men and women wearing white robes with gold embroidery. Behind them were blue-robed, white-embroidered people who were more than three times the number of white robes, and the last line was the yellow robed men who numbered in the thousands to their knees outside the chapel.
From morning until nightfall, the men continued to kneel and sing with a soft and melodious music accompanied tirelessly. As soon as midnight time arrived, suddenly the sound of bells resounding loudly resounded throughout the capital of Grandnight. As soon as the bells are rung, the singing and music stop instantly, replaced by a quiet and solemn atmosphere.
Led by the white-robed people, everyone stood up as if waiting for something. From the side door, an extremely luxurious golden-white-robed woman appeared carrying a golden staff decorated with red crystals. The top of the woman's head was covered by a long veil until the tip was dragged across the floor.
The woman has a tall body of about 1.7m with smooth white skin. His dark golden hair was straight and long reaching the waist. Her face was very beautiful and delicate with a gentle smile on her face. The entire body exuded a noble aura that was graceful and hard to resist. The pupils of her eyes were very unique with her right eye being gold in color and her left eye being silver in color, making her look more noble. The curves of his body could not be seen clearly as it was covered by a long, multi-layered robe, but no matter how much the cover was, his proud chest could not be hidden under the layer of cloth.
Agnes Adelaide inherited the position of saint from her mother who was a former saint. The Adelaide family was a pure-blood noble family recognized as the purest blood of the Saint in the past who had freed the entire land from the clutches of darkness. Until now, the Adelaide family is considered a holy family who became the founder and leader of the Euriga Theocracy.
Behind him, seven people: three women and four men dressed in golden gray trench coats walked with upright bodies while carrying swords around their waists.
As soon as the group appeared, everyone inside the chapel immediately lowered their heads respectfully and shouted in unison:
"We welcome the Saint and the Seven starlight paladins."
The Saint smiled and nodded before the religious higher-ups. The seven paladin knights faithfully stood behind the saint with their upright posture and stern gaze.
Agnes:"Build the faithful worshipers of the dawn star Goddess. To welcome the starry sky day as usual, we will perform a blessing ritual for children who reach adulthood and are ready to serve the entire Theocracy."
Starry sky day only lasts once in three years. Called the day of the starry sky Karen all day and night the sky will look bright without clouds. In addition, the sunlight will become dimmer than usual and make the stars visible in the sky at noon.
When the stars shine all day long, they assume that it is the day on which the blessings of the stars can be bestowed upon man.
On this day, all children who reach the age of maturity of 9-12 years will come to the House of Starlight to receive the blessing.
Along with the sound of bells ringing, a group of children came escorted by a few people in faded yellow robes. The children were only wearing simple white gauze that covered their bodies.
Once at the chapel, the children went to the platform and knelt piously in front of the statue of the dawn star Goddess. They sang melodious prayers followed by religious leaders and various instruments.
Agnes, who was also singing, raised the golden stick in her hand, and then stomped it onto the floor, which resembled a starry sky.
Clang...!
The moment the tip of the stick hit the floor, a metallic sound instantly echoed throughout the room. The tip of the stick hit the solid floor and made ripples that spread throughout the room like the surface of water.
The stars reflected throughout the room shine brighter with the light of various colors. The lights gathered into hundreds of larger clusters of light. The group of light floated and fell onto the foreheads of hundreds of children who had experienced the baptism of starlight.
A beautiful light bloomed on the bodies of those children. No matter how long, the light began to fade and left a trace of silver specks on the children's foreheads.
Agnes:"The sign of the star has been imprinted on your forehead. The sign will continue to evolve according to your abilities and talents. By obtaining an asterisk, it also signifies that from now on you will be responsible for your own actions."
In Euriga Theocracy there is a rule that says that children who have not obtained «Star Sign» cannot be found guilty of all their actions. All wrongs will be borne by the parents, including any kind of punishment. However, after those children obtained the Star sign, the blame and punishment would be borne by themselves.
With this rule, parents will teach good things to their child from childhood to avoid their child making problems and require their parents to bear all the consequences of their actions. After the nine-year-old knows and is declared an adult, they will be accustomed to the education of their parents, so this rule has a pretty good effect, although not infrequently there will be adverse effects.
The children and everyone in the room cried out in unison.
Agnes:"With demik_"
Agnes' voice suddenly stopped. All the stars shone with golden lights, making everyone except a few high-ranking people bewildered by this strange occurrence.
Agnes's golden and silver eyes shone brightly with the stars and the entire expression on her face disappeared as if Agnes had turned into an expressionless umbrella with two shining eyes.
About a minute passed, all the light dimmed and returned to its original state. The light in Agnes' eyes slowly faded away. As soon as the light disappeared, Agnes' body staggered and was about to fall to the floor.
The three paladin knights behind him immediately went to Agnes' body and prevented her from falling. Seeing such a scene, everyone became panicked and the entire chapel became a little messy.
"His Majesty the Saint...!"
"Saint...!"
"..."
Agnes:"When the sky was dark and the face of the white clown laughed in the sky... Early chaos... The chaos of the entire continent will begin... Silver light... West..."
In the arms of the female paladin, Agnes spoke in a very weak voice with her eyes still closed. His voice was cut off along with his fading consciousness. Agnes fainted and the whole city panicked until the higher-ups calmed everyone down and Agnes was taken to her residence.

(Philia)
Regalia...
"How long is this. It looks like the decline and degradation has really become quite severe. All became much weaker than back then."
The voice of the man sounded slow and lazy. His eyes wandered around in curiosity. He pointed his hand to where several people were gathered. One of the men suddenly screamed and a white smoke floated from his head into the figure's hands. The one who let out white smoke instantly dried up like old wood and died.
"Haha.... Fuck Gavin, it turns out you're dead.... Haha...."
It was a very cruel and ineffective way of reading memories. A very retarded way. I only saw the appearance of that man who was laughing crazily.
St Gavin. Glorius was the first king of the Kingdom of St. Glory is often referred to as the ancient kingdom of light and a highly revered king after getting rid of the darkness throughout the continent of Eration. I don't know what happened, but from what the figure said, maybe he had something to do with the ancient kingdom of light that once ruled the entire land.
"With my current strength, nothing will ever be my match... Haha..."
That person laughed for quite a while and looked like a lunatic. After tired of laughing, his eyes finally returned to me. If I don't want to seek the thrill of battle, I've long since killed that fool who ignored the enemies around him.
"Hmph...!"
He snorted and waved his hand at me. Thick black smoke shot out from his hands towards me like a tsunami wave in the sky.
Such an attack on me?!. Snob...!
Clang....!
I stomped the stick in my hand and made a clashing sound in the sky, as if the tip of the stick hit a hard surface. Golden ripples appeared in the void and appeared to be extremely eye-catching in this gloomy sky.
As the black smoke approached towards me, the golden ripples met with the black smoke and eliminated it without a fight. The golden ripples were still galloping swiftly in the air towards the figure.
Bang...!!
The figure condensed a transparent black shield in front of him to welcome my attack. The shield instantly cracked and he retreated a few steps. The attack he launched was Tier two equivalent, while my attack was equivalent to a Tier two pinnacle that was twice as powerful that he who was unprepared had to retreat a few steps.
Without waiting for her, I took out my entire aura without restraint. From the start he didn't pay much attention to me because I hid my Tier four aura.
As soon as my aura opened completely, a slender wind blew and everyone below Tier four instantly knelt on the ground. The pressure of my aura was aimed directly at that figure, so he was the one who was affected the most.
"How is it possible.... This aura, this is more terrifying than Gavin...!!"
If I were to estimate precisely, that Gavin should be at Tier four early while that figure was at Tier four which was close to reaching Tier four intermediate. While I was, although I was in Tier four early, but I had a domain and with a Tier five soul, my aura was equivalent to a Tier four peak that was almost four times more terrifying than that figure.
Filia:"I'm really looking forward to this fight, so take it seriously..."

My great-grandmother became ill and died three days ago at the age of 116.
