The Rise of the Sword Expert
A Saintess

I just keep walking. But he stopped me with his bullshit.

"Isn't that poor Baron Sanktessy?"

I'm staring. God, can't I just calm down for a second? Why are there so many people like this in my life?

"Are you able to put money in here? Everyone knows how poor you are." He grins.

I took a breath as he paused his insults.

"Everyone knows that I'm a sowrdmaster and slashing your head is easy."

"Have you never read the news? That's definitely not possible, is it? Worth your hair like a shit mushroom." I glanced at him with contempt.

Tanka laughed beside me.

He the shit mushroom head can't retaliate. He just gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"It turns out your mouth is very smart to insult."

"I learned from you."

I smiled triumphantly.

***

The mat! The mat! The mat!

The typewriter around me. They seem very busy.

"So, your name is Akion Naal Sanktessy?"

He looked at me from behind the glasses he dropped a little.

"Yes." Yeah."

"What do you open an account for?"

Since Sanktessy never made an account, so naturally the middle-aged woman in front of me asked. Why did the Sanktessy family just open an account?

"To save some of my money."

I looked at him with a smile.

The mat! The mat! The mat!

He's typing again. The news about our business didn't make him confused about where I was getting the money from.

"Alright, Mr. Akion. Your account is done. Let's see how much you're going to add."

I put a medium-sized bag in front of him. She's staring. As I spilled the golden koi on it, its mouth opened wide. The splashing sound of the gold coins made everyone look at me in awe. Let's surprise them. That expression is great.

***

"Everything is a hundred thousand gold coins, Mr. Akion." That was the smile he didn't give.

A bank job even offered me a drink after seeing my gold coins. To be honest if I wanted to and brought more coins than this, I'm sure they could have worshipped me.

The coins that I save now are pocket money that I carry a little bit of the rest I still have, and there are still many on Mount Berk.

"Thank you, Mr. Akion."

I left the bank. One business is done.

"Where else do you want to go?"

I'm still thinking about it, that's why my head is moving to the left right. I'm still weighing where to go first.

In the end, I chose to come to the temple. From a distance the temple tower can be seen. The temple is on a hill not far from here. A very luxurious central temple, the Emperor provided a great amount of help since his beloved daughter was a Saintess.

He made the Emperor proud, a Saintess born from the imperial family was able to keep the power stable.

If Akiion wants to marry his daughter, then everything is complete. They will be an unshakable force.

I'd better move fast again by running on top of the building, if I take a leisurely walk, then the night will come.

Wush!

I jumped again and ran back.

"Tanka tell me how great a Saintess is."

The strong wind that hit Tanka did not make her retreat.

"It is said that Saintess is the strongest possessor of the power of gods existing in humans. They could purify any power, including magic and others. They can make a huge protective dome."

"In Caesar's era he could even create a protective dome of this kind. He's got all the attacks. But generally they are weak on the physical, the advantages, they can heal themselves quickly."

"I remember Caesar as someone who was able to make others faint while using full power."

I know about a god who entrusted his power to Saintess. But that power was no joke. If so, wasn't Saintess the strongest person in the entire continent?

The Emperor had something terrible in his hands. Even one of the princes had a mystical creature.

If they fought each other, then it was easy to destroy the palace.

Taps!

We have arrived at the temple gate. It's so broad and majestic. Naturally, his supporting funds were from the imperial side.

A priest greeted me kindly.

"Are you here to pray?"

"Yes, Pastor."

"Just go there, the biggest door is a place of worship." The pastor smiled, then I bowed and walked in the direction the pastor had pointed.

"Do you really want to pray, Akion? I've never seen you pray."

It was just an excuse to enter the temple. There's no way I'd say I'd be looking for information, or donating here. Wh why? I don't want my treasure to be in the wrong place. Is this just an ordinary temple? Large funds often control what path they will go through.

What else do I know of their cunning. So there's no reason to donate here. They are already very prosperous.

I found the big door the priest was talking about. When we opened the door, inside the place of worship was very quiet. There was a voice of praise to the god from a priestess in front of the pulpit. Then a priestess sat down and prayed solemnly. My footsteps did not make them turn away.

I sat at the front and prayed. Rather than praying, it is more like a complaint.

"God, why don't you ever answer my prayers and send me here? Then how is the real Akion? He replaced me or is he dead?"

I looked at the statue of the god in front. There's no answer. God has always been like that.

Will not give a definite answer. They always act as they please and are mysterious.

After a less solemn prayer, I came out of the prayer room. Surround this beautiful temple. Luckily I didn't come on a day of prayer, so there aren't many of them.

"How much money did they spend to make this one statue?"

In every hallway we passed at least there were always two statues made very luxurious and beautiful. This statue was different from a god, a statue of a woman who seemed to dance.

"It must be a lot, Tanka,"

I opened the doors of their library. The biggest temple must have a lot of books, right? When I entered, the priests in it looked at me in surprise.

"Who are you?"

"Good day, Reverend, I'm Akion Naal Sanktessy." I was being respectful towards the old priest in front of me.

I saw her lips move a little. "What's this business about?"

That's a weird question. I came to the library because I obviously wanted to read something, then they were too tense in a situation that even I did not put a sword to their necks.

"You can't be here,"

"Why?"

"We're cleaning up the library." His dark eyes did not make me believe.

"really? I didn't see the activity one bit." I looked suspiciously while smiling quite creepily. They must have known about the crazy rumors of Akion loving blood.

"We're just getting started, Mr. Akion,"

"Then start, I won't bother you." I just walked in, in the dark I ignored them. This library is open to everyone, why did they ban it?

I'm looking for an interesting book to read. Seeing her agitated and inevitably letting me make me smile.

"You want to find out about Caesar?"

"One of them."

Mostly I want more information about the Oracle. A clear note that says every future event.

I took the big brown book.

It is said that the oracle was a gate to the speaking god. God will give the Oracle to the person he loves, in this case he is the priest or Saintess. However, the great Oracle that was about to happen was always entrusted to Saintess.

The famous oracle was the Delp oracle that occurred eight hundred years ago, which was able to save civilization back then. The oracle could never be ignored, as it was thought to be certain to happen.

It is said again that in addition to Gods there will always be other false Gods who want human faith, until the belief in the original gods dims. False gods would give him his power, so they assumed a false god was the real god.

One of the famous false gods is Beill, he likes to blind man with his power.

A Saintess could tell Beill's deceit. The restless Beill would send others to defeat Saintess, silencing her to publish

his power. Beill would laugh big when Saintess lost and fell on the ground, when Saintess cried, her tears fell against the ground and the ground was glowing. From inside came a spear capable of injuring Beill.

Beill was hiding, some were saying that Beill had been destroyed, and others were saying that he was building up his strength and army.

Hmm, interesting. A story that makes me feel like I'm reading a novel. This was simply too incredible, if it was so supposed to be the princess that a Saintess had realized her heavy burden.

Does he often train his strength?

Clamps!

The library door opened, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard. They were a bunch of knights who were escorting their master.

With my hands resting on my cheeks, I saw a silver-haired woman talking to the priest.

The woman saw me calm but alert.

She came to me, her long dress dragged on the floor. The twists of the cloth in the hand were carried gently and a beautiful contortion.

"Akion, what are you doing here?"

My eyes are open a little wide. Jesus, she's the Crown Princess, the great Saintess.
