4 Not So Pure (2/2)
***************
In the pale of the moonlight, a blonde nun was praying to the god Emoliv. She was sitting on her knees, and even prostrating herself from time-to-time.
”Oh, my lord Emoliv, heed my prayers!” She cried out. ”Please give your love to me! Please give me the holy power that I deserve! I have served you for all my life; do I not even deserve such a petty reward?”
Her ivory complexion had glamour equivalent to the moonlight. Her sapphire-like eyes shone and her pink lips shaking with lust painted the picture of a demonic angel. Her rather mediocre stature assimilated well with the surroundings as well.
It would have been a bizarre sight if anyone saw it. But, she didn't worry as no one would.
The church's doors were closed at night and doesn't matter who it was, they wouldn't dare risk angering all the religious populous of the world by opening them. As for the other nuns and priests, none of them were allowed to live inside the church. Only she – the high priestess – could live inside the church. And so, she was alone and had the freedom to do whatever she wanted.
”Oh, my lord Emoliv, you have to choose me. You have to reward my devotion to you. You have to.” As if imagining Emoliv ravaging her body, she moaned.
For years, this lustful woman had acted like an oh-so-pure nun in front of the world while secretly praying to Emoliv to impregnate her.
It was considered a custom that the god Emoliv impregnates a nun of the Royal Church and she gives birth to a hero, a hero who could save the world.
This happened every single time when the world was in any danger, be it by an incredibly powerful demon lord or a natural disaster or something else. The hero would be born, possessing the skills needed to get rid of the problems.
Because of how valuable these heroes were, the nuns who gave birth to them, who had been chosen by god Emoliv himself, were treated as queens, or maybe even better than queens.
This woman wanted that for herself.
She was a greedy, lustful and beautiful woman with a perverted mind. In other words, she was the complete opposite of what an ideal nun should be like. And yet, her acting skills were good enough for her to be considered an ideal nun by the church.
”Ah! My lord Emoliv, if you do not choose me, I will lose faith and make sure others do so too.” Overcome by lust, she crawled towards his statue as she said, ”I am a high-priestess with a lot of influence, you see. I can change the minds of many. You wouldn't want that to happen now, would – who's there?”
Her voice turned stern and she immediately seated herself upright as she looked in the direction she had just sensed a presence from.
She stood up, adjusted her dress, wiped off her face and asked again, ”Who's there? Who dares come in-”
The answer to her questions came in front of her, making her freeze. It was a dark fox. But, it was different than a usual dark fox. Generally, dark foxes just look like black foxes. But, this one was exuding a vile aura, an aura of death.
”Don't tell me it's-”
She couldn't complete the sentence. The very thought of an undead being inside the church terrified her. The dark fox looked at her cautiously for a while and then ran away. She noticed that there was something in its mouth.
She quickly started to look around to see what it could be and then found the answer when she looked back at a particular glass tube.
***************
The undead dark fox of mine was more useful than I initially gave it credit for.
I had sent it to the church with this command. ”Sneak into the church, make sure you are not spotted, get the scrolls and bring them back to me. You can take as much time as you need to but make sure no one sees you.”
These were simple commands for a human but for a monster, they were complex. No ordinary monster could pull it off. But, a dark fox was basically fox 2.0. It had the cunning of the foxes found on earth and some more.
It followed my instructions to the letter, and bought the scrolls without letting anyone see it.
… Hah!
I only wish I could really say that.
But as soon as the dark fox entered through the windows in my room (which was on the ground floor), I felt an alarm going off in my head.
I quickly jumped away from the window and realized that if I had been even a second late, I might have died, again.
The whole wall that stood between my room and the house's lawn was blown to bits.
”You!” A blonde nun with beautiful features but an ugly aura entered through that large hole and said, ”You dare to steal the scrolls from the church! It is time for you to die!”
