Chapter 476. The Crumbling Line of Defense (6) (1/2)

Seo Yuhui fell to her knees.

She bowed forward until her forehead touched the ground, turned her hands over so that her palms faced the sky, and then slowly raised them to her temples.

Then she rose to her feet. Her hands came back down and clasped in front of her chest as she bowed her head.

She repeated this process over and over again.

Everyone looked tense as they watched her.

Currently, Seo Yuhui was a Level 9.

Luxuria granted a special privilege to Priests who, from Level 1 to Level 4, served her and only her without turning to other gods.

Through a Ceremony, a Priest could plead with her god to grant herself the right to use spells beyond her present Level.

Of course, the higher the Level of the Priest, the greater the effect of the Ceremony.

A Level 4 could use a High Ranker spell, a Level 6 could use a Unique Ranker spell, and a Level 9 could use a Level 10 spell, which was said to have reached the realm of Divine Beginning.

For that reason, everyone’s nervous faces showed a glimpse of anticipation.

What kind of spell would Seo Yuhui ask for? Could she really pull it off?

Amidst the gazes of everyone watching, Seo Yuhui patiently repeated the same movements over and over.

She knelt down, bowed, stood up, and then prayed.

Once, twice, three times, four times….

When she reached the tenth repetition, Seo Yuhui suddenly stopped.

Slowly, she tilted her head back and raised her chin. Her eyes gazed up at the sky, only slightly open.

Those watching blinked in confusion.

The Priest stopped, but nothing seemed to have changed.

But their confusion did not last long.

A Sky Fairy’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then suddenly opened wide.

Chwaaaaaaaa…

She saw the light of dawn shining down on Seo Yuhui from the sky.

This light was not as dazzlingly bright as her other spells.

In fact, it was pale, almost invisible.

Still, the light was so divine that it made everyone close their eyes in awe.

They all sensed an unprecedented amount of divinity in the air.

Surrounded by the pale light, Seo Yuhui’s appearance slowly began to change under the dawning sky.

Specks of light gathered on her face to form a veil.

A pair of earrings formed on her ears and a necklace appeared around her neck.

The light gathered around her arms became fluttering fabric, and a silky cloth covered her back.

Dressed in immaculate white, Seo Yuhui looked radiant and so completely pure that she stole everyone’s breath away.

It was then.

The ground under Seo Yuhui’s feet began to shake, and the Sky Fairy widened her eyes.

When the fairy saw the surging ocean of light rising from the earth, she finally became certain.

“Could that be…!?”

As the Sky Fairy recalled a passage from an ancient scripture, Seo Yuhui moved.

She spun halfway around and gracefully flicked her left arm.

And then….

Kwaaaarrrrrr!

Light soared, to a height of more than 10 meters, and then spread across the gray earth toward the horizon until it could no longer be seen with bare eyes.

“Just how far…!?”

Before the Sky Fairy could even finish her sentence, Seo Yuhui flicked her right arm toward the sky.

Light surged up again like a tsunami and devoured everything in the vicinity.

With her eyes only slightly open, Seo Yuhui curled her lips into an elegant smile.

Then she began to dance slowly.

Her dance wasn’t exactly entertaining, nor was it high on glamour, but people simply couldn’t take their eyes off her.

One small gesture of the hand roused light, and one flick of the arm gave birth to a miracle.

Soon, light consumed everything around them.

Amidst the blinding light, only Seo Yuhui was clearly visible.

‘Yes…. I’m sure of it.’

The Sky Fairy trembled with emotion inside the warm light.

‘This is….’

Level 10, Exquisite Dancer, Unknown — Miracle of Gloria Aeterna.

The myth of the distant past about a mysterious dancer who was said to have rescued Gloria Aeterna from the darkness with just one dance was now unfolding before their very eyes.

“Sea…!”

Suddenly, a voice shouted.

“It’s the sea…!”

Indeed, he was right.

The sea of light was rolling in and out around everyone.

As if pouring water into an arid desert, the surface of the sea quickly sank, breathing life into the corrupted soil and boosting its vitality.

The earth devoured the light like a baby hungry for milk.

After a while….

As the sea of light silently dissipated and the world regained its former visibility, the Sky Fairy raised her foot.

The texture underneath the soles of her feet felt both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

“Ah….”

Her eyes shook as she looked down.

The earth was no longer gray.

There was no grass or flowers yet, but… the soil was brown.

The corrupted soil had undoubtedly come back to life again.

Drawn by the smell of the fresh soil, the Sky Fairy fell to her knees.

She took a handful of soil and carefully rubbed it between her fingers.

It was soft and wet.

Above all, she could sense the enormous amount of divinity it possessed.

It even left a smear of sparkling grains over her palm.

“Yes! Yessss!”

The Sky Fairy exclaimed in joy.

All they wanted was soil clean enough for the World Tree to take root.

But Seo Yuhui did so much more than that. She created soil of the highest quality that any tree could hope for.

“This much divinity should be enough to…!”

The Sky Fairy raised her head and flinched.

Suddenly, the pale light around Seo Yuhui’s body disappeared, and….

“Ahaaak!”

She collapsed, blood spurting from every inch of her body.

The amount of blood pouring from her mouth was almost enough to fill a whole bucket.

The Sky Fairy rushed to support Seo Yuhui, appalled.

“Ji… Jihu….”
