Chapter 74: Intercession (2)

༺ Intercession (2) ༻

Lucia spoke while taking a deep breath.

"...Yes, by changing the order of the Prayer a bit, the effectiveness of the Grace becomes significantly greater. It might be a bit challenging, but with some practice, you'll get the hang of—"

"Like this?"

"..."

Lucia fell silent as she saw a two-colored divine barrier appearing before Dowd.

Internally, she struggled to suppress a scream.

Anyone would harbor such feelings upon witnessing Dowd immediately putting into practice what she had just taught.

'You said it's your first time...'

She looked at him while hiding her tearful expression.

Back when she started teaching him, she was really enthusiastic about it.

After all, it was her one in a thousand chance to correct this man's 'attitude'.

While she didn't want him to treat her with reverence like what other people did because she was the Saintess, she at least wanted to prevent him from whimsically involving her and Yuria in various matters and just disappearing afterwards.

To put it simply, she didn't need him to treat her like a Saintess, she just didn't want him to treat her like a slave!

'This is definitely supposed to be challenging though...'

Among all Special Powers, divine power was a power that was possessed by everyone, but it was clearly the most unpredictable and volatile out of them all.

In essence, it was easy to start learning it but difficult to master it.

In the first two days, her prediction actually seemed accurate.

When Dowd struggled to memorize any Prayers and couldn't even correctly implement the most simple of Graces, she inwardly yelled in delight.

'I knew it, this person isn't perfect!'

'I finally found his flaw!'

That was why she decided to help him with his divine power study, to make him realize how important she was and to prevent him from leaving Yuria behind while casually playing around with other women. Also, she wanted to make him more dependent on her in the future.

Once upon a time, she dreamed of such a scenario.

But all those hopes and dreams had vanished today.

"..."

He was learning fast.

Way too fast.

He was undoubtedly a beginner when it came to 'handling' divine power. However, once he grasped the core of the matter, he absorbed all the knowledge she taught him like a sponge.

She could not even begin to fathom how much he had learned in no more than half a day, from lunch to dinner.

Even she had struggled for at least a week to master the 'Intercessory Prayer' she had just taught him!

'No wonder he set such an unreasonable condition...'

Suddenly, realization struck her.

The goal that he had set when starting these lessons...
