Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Aisha said.

This is the truth. When she mobilized 50% of her strength, Elsa clearly felt the collapse and distortion of this space. Elsa could see the nothingness behind this space. There was nothing there. If she used a little more force, Elsa didn't know what would happen after tearing the space here apart.

She would never rashly attempt anything that dangerous.

Celisilda noticed Elsa's worried look and immediately understood that Elsa also had her own unspeakable difficulties.

"Let me put it another way," Serilildah looked at the seal behind her. "The demon general will soon revive. I've already set up a magic circle to control it for a while. When that happens, could you, Elsa, help me?"

This is also the only chance to get a glimpse of Elsa's true strength. Serilda really wants to know what level of power is above the saint, the hero, and the demon king.

She wanted to witness it with her own eyes.

Celisilda has already made up her mind that after today, she will let Elsa's name spread throughout the human kingdom. However, if Elsa wants to be accepted, recognized and valued by others, Celisilda's endorsement alone is still not enough. Elsa needs a sufficiently dazzling record.

This record was obtained from the Demon General Tobias.

83. They can’t come

"Notify me as soon as the people from the Empire and the Church arrive."

Cerrihilda said to Seaborn and Pittman.

She is waiting.

Wait for the people from the Empire and the Church to come here, and then witness Elsa's battle with her, and use this victory against the demon general as an opportunity for Elsa to become famous.

Elsa needs a record that can prove her own achievements. On the one hand, it is because Elsa's existence is so important. Celisilda has already decided that she must inform the Holy See and various countries of Elsa's existence as soon as possible.

Elsa's existence is far beyond the strategic level, and all countries should pay attention to her.

——This must form a consensus.

Although Celisilda seldom spent time on political social activities and dealing with the nobles, she was not completely ignorant of those people. Take the Empire as an example. The Queen was wise and capable, but there were many other nobles who were idiots with nothing to do except being high and mighty. If she did not notify the high-ranking officials of the Empire in advance and let them pay attention, Celisilda was afraid that those ignorant guys would do something stupid to Elsa one day in the future.

In short, avoid any accidents that can be avoided; this is Celisilda's principle. The simplest and most practical way to make Elsa immediately remembered and valued is to let everyone know her formidable strength—the people from the Church and the Empire will arrive soon, and this will be a rare opportunity.

Another meaning of this record is that Elsa needs an opportunity to recognize her own strength.

Celisilda understood that Elsa still didn't have a clear and intuitive understanding of her own strength. There was nothing she could do about it. After all, seeing is believing, and Elsa hadn't experienced it firsthand so far. Or rather, for Elsa, strength itself was something that was difficult to feel. Other people were too weak to be compared to her.

According to Serilihilda's estimation, she, as a sage, would have to work together with the hero, the saint, and the demon king to make Elsa take her seriously, but this was obviously unrealistic.

Therefore, Serilihilda had to settle for the second best and let the demon general Tobias be Elsa's opponent, and let Tobias become Elsa's first stepping stone. As an "immortal demon general", although it still did not have such qualifications, it was enough to be the first stone.

"The Immortal Demon General—it's not that it's truly unkillable, but it absorbs magic energy to nourish itself anytime and anywhere, so its recovery ability is relatively strong.

The demon generals are inherently unequal to this world's form. Because of this, their actions seem almost incomprehensible to us. If we let them escape, they will bring even greater disaster. They are already very weak, so this is the perfect opportunity to finish them off. However, while I will use a magic circle to restrain them for a while, giving you a chance to attack, you, Elsa, must not let your guard down.

Celisilda took Elsa around the platform of the sealing array for a full circle, while introducing Tobias' characteristics to Elsa, so that Elsa could have a deeper understanding of Tobias up close and intuitively.

It was ridiculous. A quarter of an hour ago, Celisilda was still worried about the appearance of the demon general, but now she didn't take Tobias seriously at all. Her entire attention was on Elsa. Her eyes never left her. She observed her in her own way, wanting to know more about her.

"To you, Elsa, Tobias's vitality is completely meaningless, because you can resist and dispel almost any form of magic, so you don't have to worry. - Oh, by the way, Elsa, do you know this yourself?"

Aisha was obviously stumped by the question.

Celisilda thought to herself, "As expected!" and at the same time, she was glad that everything she was doing now would, to some extent, bring her and Elsa closer together. What made her happy was that Elsa was not actively resisting the magic power, but it was an unconscious behavior. This meant that Elsa had the possibility of actively restraining the power that could dispel magic. If this was true, when Elsa truly mastered these powers, her strength would undoubtedly be further enhanced.

Serilda couldn't even imagine what that scene was like.

"You probably don't realize it, but you're actually constantly dispelling the magic energy that's approaching you—remember when I carved the magic circle on the backs of Sister Lisa and Sister Trawins' hands?"

Celisilda explained to Elsa in detail the phenomena she had observed and her own guesses, which surprised Elsa for a while because Elsa herself did not feel anything.

As she spoke, Celisilda gathered her magic power and asked Elsa to try to touch it. As Celisilda said, Elsa could dispel it just by touching it without any effort - this suddenly made Elsa understand a lot of things.

"Similarly, when you fight, these turbulent currents of magical energy protect your clothes and body, while also strengthening your attack methods, allowing your power to spread and propagate in the form of magic. This is the conclusion I've drawn from observation, but what puzzles me is... I've discovered that you seem to be able to use magic items normally, so I have a hypothesis. Perhaps you can control this ability through your own consciousness—for example, constrain it and make it change according to your will. If you can do this, perhaps you can directly 'fly'."

Cerihilda said with a smile.

As for magic, it was undoubtedly her field, and everything she said surprised Elsa but was reasonable and consistent with her actual situation.

This also answered some of the questions that Elsa had always had, such as why she could cause so much damage when jumping and falling despite being so light - according to Celisilda's theory, Elsa can actually actively control the release and control of this power. In other words, to put it in an extreme way, if Elsa can constrain this power in one direction, she can even fly directly into the air.

"Admittedly—I'm not sure what the difference is yet. I'll let you know if I find anything new."

Celyhilda smiled. She hadn't laughed so much in a long time.

Celisilda has many concerns about Elsa, which come from the imbalance in strength between the two sides. At the same time, because of the appearance of Elsa, Celisilda is full of longing, expectation, worry and panic for the future.

The longing and expectation are based on Elsa's unparalleled strength. Human beings need strong people. The stronger Elsa is, the more solid and peaceful the human territory will be. Even if Elsa does nothing, as long as her existence is remembered by this continent, she is enough to guarantee a long-term and stable future for mankind.

This is the deterrent power of the strong.

But because of this, Celyhilda was worried and panicked.

Just like the existence of heroes and saints, the birth of the strong people in this world is not without reason. Their appearance almost represents the will of the goddess.

So, what about Elsa?

Serilildah hoped that Elsa would step forward and contribute to the future of mankind. However, how could a person feel at ease asking for help from someone who was much more powerful than themselves? However, everything Serilildah was going to say next could not avoid this topic.

She felt like she was using a set of moral theories that she thought were self-consistent to threaten Elsa, but in fact, when a powerful person's strength reached a certain level, the original set of things would become ineffective.

But no matter what, Elsa's appearance is a foregone conclusion. What Cerihilda has to do is to unite all the human leaders, make a decision, and keep Elsa in the human camp.

At this time, Cerihilda received a call from Shibourne and Pittman, who looked extremely anxious.

"Sage, there's a problem... We've received calls from the Vatican and the Empire. We're wondering why our teleportation array can't connect... We've sent people to check and found no problems..."

Cerihilda was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Oh, the teleportation array was once crushed by Elsa - I'm afraid that at that time, although the magic energy that was dispersed after Elsa left seemed to flow back and re-light the magic array, in fact, the teleportation network connection had been disconnected because of Elsa.

Sighing, Serilildah shook her head helplessly. Elsa's abilities sometimes didn't seem to work so well. How was she supposed to get Elsa into the teleportation array? This was a problem.

84. The Names of Three People [Part 3]

The morning had passed, and the entrance to the underground palace was once again illuminated by sunlight. The dark cave entrance seemed even deeper than yesterday.

"Everyone, evacuate now!"

"Move quickly!"

The deep sound of the horn shook the gloomy air, and with a command from Hibern, the troops gathered in the central tomb moved like waves.

A serious-looking Sibbern stood aside, his hands behind his back, standing erect. His heavy gaze watched as teams climbed the elevator in an orderly fashion, each knight saluting as they passed. Beside him, Bishop Pittman adjusted his glasses, his gaze fixed on the group of church members—Vivian and Mary were there. Vivian looked worried, glancing back from time to time, while Mary was lost in thought.

"Tobias is about to wake up. Pittman, why did the sage ask us to retreat now?"

Hibbern's eyes darted over, looking at Pittman, waiting for an answer.

"Maybe he changed his mind."

Pittman didn't answer directly.

He naturally knew the reason: Elsa Faris. Compared to this "envoy," their presence in the underground palace was merely a nuisance. But Shibern clearly didn't think switching weapons was a good idea, and his brow furrowed.

Pittman said, "We must trust the Sage and her messenger."

"alright."

Shiburn waved and said nothing more.

Military supplies were transported out, and the sounds of weapons and armor rubbing and colliding, and iron boots stepping on the ground were heard as they moved in unison towards the entrance of the underground palace. The steps of the Knights and Magicians were vigorous and powerful, and they were so disciplined that they hardly made any sounds other than their movements. Their eyes were fixed on the front, but it could be seen that each of their faces revealed an unconcealable fatigue, and underneath the fatigue was a heaviness and solemnity.

Peace had been maintained for forty years, and few of them had experienced that earth-shaking war. But in this one night, all of them experienced a bloody baptism and tempering of blood.

The blood is cruel, but they all know that the battle is far from over and a more dangerous battlefield lies ahead.

——Because, the Demon General Tobias is about to be born.

This news almost made everyone's nerves tense, and the atmosphere was oppressive. And at this time, more bad news came - due to the attack on the fortress and the damage to the teleportation array, the aid from the Church and the Empire would not arrive for a while.

In other words, they have to fight alone.

Everyone was ready to fight to the death with the demon general.

At this moment, only Serilda, Elsa, and a crow remained in the sealed hall. As for Alman, Serilda had long since handed him over to the care of Sibern and Pitman. Serilda had no time to care for him for the time being, as she realized the seal was loosening and that the demon general Tobias might soon awaken.

So she notified all personnel in the underground palace to evacuate immediately.

"There's an aura within the seal that's corroding it. That's definitely not the power of Demon General Tobias himself. Clearly, someone is providing assistance to it. The person who attempted to awaken it sent something into its body and then left."

Unlike the tense atmosphere among the soldiers, Serilda remained calm, even a little excited. Forty years ago, they hadn't been able to kill Tobias, but what about forty years later?

The hero and the saint are no longer here, and the protagonist this time is not Cerihilda.

But it's Elsa.

The more she interacted with Elsa, the more Celisilda was impressed by her strength—and the more puzzled she became by her unreasonable strength.

At this moment, a slight vibration came from the soles of their feet. Celyhilda and Elsa raised their heads at the same time to look at the tumor, and dust and sand fell down.

"The seal is loosening. Listen, the monsters are starting to stir." Serilihilda raised her hand and stroked the light curtain surrounding the platform. "It seems the Holy Light Seal is growing weaker, even allowing Tobias's aura to leak out."

Elsa could also hear the screams of monsters coming from a cave somewhere.

"They sounded pretty excited."

Aisha said.

Unlike Serilindah, who was vaguely expectant, Elsa was still immersed in thought. The question of how strong she was finally answered by Serilindah, which made Elsa start to think about a question.

If everything the sage said is true, then... since Elsa already possesses power that surpasses the Demon King, the Hero, and the Saint, what exactly does the data on the panel represent?

Why is the panel capped at 100,000?

Elsa felt that the birth of a standard should always have a reference for measurement.

Elsa thought about it, then opened the panel and took a look. To her surprise, three people's names had appeared on the panel since she didn't know when.

【Elsa Faris】

【HP: 99999】

[Magic Points: 2]

【Strength: 99999】

【Spirit: 1】

[Unallocated points: 0]

[Idea (Vivian Trauns): 89]

[Idea (Patriculosia en Serilhilda): 74]

[Idea (Filia Livret): 77]

【-】

In comparison, Vivian's favorability increased by 6 points. As for why the Sage and Filia also appeared, Elsa had no idea.

Elsa was a little confused about what the name that appeared on the panel meant. She looked at Serilildah unconsciously, but just as she could not see anything wrong in Vivian's eyes, Serilildah's eyes were still dull and she could not tell anything.

"Because those monsters are particularly sensitive to the aura of those above them, they regard a strong man like Tobias as their 'king'—the sound is getting closer, and the seal is getting looser. It seems that we will soon face a battle. As agreed, I will use my magic to control him. Elsa, let me witness your power next."

Celisilda said, looking at the sealed tumor.

She had been waiting for quite a while.

At this moment, the crow suddenly raised its head and cried out, then flapped its wings and flew into the air, revealing its huge body. Seeing this, Celyhilda immediately drank a bottle of magic potion.

At the same time, Elsa also looked up and looked at the seal. The cross emitted a faint light, flickering like breathing.

85. The Sealed Hall is Collapsing [Fourth Update]

The sealing light curtain seemed to have not changed from the outside, but the dark red tumor inside suddenly began to beat violently, and layers of disgusting black meridians grew on its surface. Looking closely, it seemed to be flesh tendrils connected by countless tiny black roots.
