I had initially considered hiding somewhere to observe Mare and the activities of the Holy Church, but even if I disappeared, the angels would flock to me. Suspecting something, I used [Appraisal] and realized that apparently all angels have [True Eyes].

Whether they are prioritizing based on the abundance of LP or not, angels were approaching in the order of me, Mare, and Kerry. This wouldn't contribute to the Church's propaganda.

Since I could not help it, I decided to disappear and slowly evade, then let Mare wipe them out after casually gathering the angels. The scene of the beautiful character facing a large army of angels and sweeping them away with dazzling magic seemed vividly impressive to the city's residents, and cheers erupted from everywhere.

In terms of effectiveness against angels, it would seem that Dark Magic, Shadow Magic, and skill attacks that inflict poison or disease would work. However, as a saint, Mare couldn't possibly exhale poisonous breath.

In a saint-like manner, I allocated a considerable amount of experience points into Holy Magic and Light Magic. Other attributes were also acquired, similar to what was used in Neuschloss.

When Mare acquired Light Magic, Holy Magic appeared. Considering my own experience, one of the unlock conditions is likely to be a race of Noble or higher. Whether Dark Magic would appear if reincarnated as an Evil Human or Dark Elf, despite already acquiring Dark Magic, wasn't clear, but based on Mare's available skills, it seems unlikely.

In other words, to acquire both Holy Magic and Dark Magic, one would need to experience both righteous and wicked races.

I accidentally achieved this, and it's likely that Lyra did the same. Presumably, Lyra had already acquired as many skills as possible before coming to me.

I gathered the angels in the city, and Mare and the members of the Holy Church exterminated them on a prominent avenue.

The second day, probably the last attack, ended in this way, and one could say that the first impression of the Saint of Wells was successful.

Even the knights who should protect the city were praising the saint enthusiastically towards the end. They followed the angels attracted by me to the main street, witnessing the saint's battle prowess.

By tomorrow, the commercial guild controlled by Kerry would slowly spread rumors about this day, and in no time, everyone in the city would know about the appearance of the saint.

Even before that, the king and other rulers would be informed about the saint through reports from the knights. From what I observed, the knights seemed to be welcoming the saint. It was unlikely that unfavorable reports would reach them.

However, there's no guarantee that the king would receive the news as favorably.

If the popularity becomes too overwhelming and there's a risk of it destabilizing his power base, there's a possibility he might view it as a threat.

In a typical situation, if an exceptionally popular figure arises from the common people, as long as the nobility and royalty are determined by race, that person cannot shake the existing power structure.

However, Mare has already become a saint. If the royalty is composed of Noble Humans, she is an existence higher than them.

Whether there's a way for the country to know about this is uncertain, but this would undoubtedly be an alarming situation for the royal family.

But the reason for the royalty being royalty is not only their race.

The existence of artifacts stored somewhere is also a crucial support.
