I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

76

"Matheus, all preparations for Mass have been completed."

A priest approached Matheus as he was passing through the corridor.

Nodding his head while holding the catechism in one arm, Matheus walked towards the chapel.

There was no tremor in his silent, slow gait.

However, in his head, the story he had heard from Jimin, who had recently returned to the temple, was circling.

"... In order to save me, Lalisa went back to the Grand Duke herself."

The choice was compulsory, but Matheus considered that it was also Lalisa's decision. It was definitely a choice with her will.

So he wasn't too concerned about her current situation.

But...

The only concern for now was her health.

Lalisa's power, which had returned to him like a set procedure for a while, had been cut off at some point.

That meant she was holding up with little power left.

It was not strange if she lost all her powers and died a long time ago, but she was holding on for a very long time.

There were not many cases like Lalisa's where the power in the body was directly connected to the life force, but it was not impossible.

However, all of them were recorded to have lost their lives because they could not endure any amount of it. It was probably because after using the holy power only once, the power leaked out.

However, according to the information he has recently obtained, there has been only one exception.

That was hundreds of years ago.

There was a record that a person, who was on the verge of death because all of the stamina in his body had disappeared, miraculously survived.

The holy water of High Priest Kalosa, who was one of the gods' agents, absorbed it into his body just before his death, and completely changed the function of the body.

The high priests of hundreds of years ago in the records were those who had unparalleled power enough to be able to communicate directly with God.

In other words, they were divine beings that couldn't be compared with the current priests.

According to another record, it was said that the high priests, who had powers close to God, were all slain because their powers were restrained.

However, some priests had different opinions.

There were those who thought that those with near-god powers would not have been killed so easily.

They argued that there was a possibility that they were living in seclusion somewhere without revealing their power because they knew the fear of their existence.

Matheus was also one of those who expected that.

"Life expectancy will also be different from that of ordinary people."

So if any of God's agents were alive... It was a problem that could be easily solved without even thinking about it.

The problem was that finding them would be as difficult as finding a tiny needle in the desert. Still, he had no choice but to ask around as much as he could.

Matheus owed Lalisa a debt. He was obliged to do everything in his power to make sure she was happy.

After taking a deep breath, Matheus finally reached the front of the chapel.
