”{Hey, boss, are you seeing this?}” Fray asked through telepathy.
”{Who are you calling boss? And yes, I see it,}” Rakna's voice quickly responded while sharing the vision of the puppet he had made. ”{It has no real practical uses unless it's against certain foes but this Offering of Faith… is essentially a chance to borrow help from a God. It is definitely good.}”
”This is our Second Order Cross,” O'Gram stated. ”It is normally only given to the core members of the Basilica. Not all people can call for Eternal Night's assistance in the first place but something tells me that you have a very good chance of making it work.”
Fray nodded at that and stored the item inside the storage Rakna had temporarily lent him. Then it was Angela's turn to fish out something from her storage and it immediately stunned Fray and Rakna.
What Angela held in her hand was a one-handed double-edged sword with a groove at the base of the blade. The material was golden and white and the handle was silver-white. Additionally, there were several gems encrusted on the blade and even an idiot would have been able to tell that they were more than decoration based on the agglomerates of mana they represented.
All in all, for Rakna, it probably was the most beautiful sword he had ever seen in his life. When it landed in Fray's hands from a smiling Angela, the information made him even more shocked.

⠀
Designation: Blade/Double-Edged Sword
Name: Mirael
Rarity: Red
Attack Power: +750
Durability: 100%
⠀
Description:
One of the 106 Holy Swords, crafted and owned by the Church. Most of them are used by Paladins who have been rewarded for their faith and contribution, some remain stowed away, and the rest are said to be formidable blades that only accept the ones most worthy of their power with a rarity of one in a billion people.
Mirael ranks No.65 in overall capacity. But there are some swords with lower rarity and perks that have very specialized abilities more suited for other situations.
⠀
Perks:
⠀
- Holy Shield: Erects a golden shield that can resist up to 5 000 of damage value; both physical and magical. Last 10 seconds and can only be used twice every 12 hours.
⠀
- Holy Blade: At the cost of 1 (0.6) MP per second, the weapon will be imbued with the holiest of energies and deal 100% additional damage to Evil-Aligned Creatures.
⠀
- Crescent of a Falling Sun: At the cost of 300 (180) MP, a flying slash formed out of holy and solar energy can be launched from the blade. The damage will be equal to the sum of the user's MA and ATK multiplied by 2. Can only be used thrice every 24 hours.
⠀
- God Bless Us: If the wielder is near a sacred location with this weapon equipped, they will be granted a healing factor as well as an accelerated stamina and mana recuperation. If the sword is damaged, it will also repair itself.
⠀
Note: Holy swords do not all reject wielders like some may believe. However, they cannot be used to perform evil deeds; their power will be sealed and punishment will be dealt out.
