Why Am I a Priestess When I Reach the Maximum Level?-Chapter 147[Vol. 6] - You Remind Me of the General on Stage

[Vol. 6] Chapter 147: You Remind Me of the General on Stage

If [Dawn] truly considered the [Nameless Demon Sovereign] such a significant threat that she needed to suppress it at the cost of splitting her divine consciousness, why didn’t she take the extra step to eliminate it entirely from the beginning?

It didn’t make sense.

Moreover, this being’s flaws were glaringly obvious.

For instance, the scarecrow warriors encountered earlier were clearly created by the [Spirit Fox Shrine Maiden] as guardians, yet the white light claimed they were grotesque creations spawned by the demon’s power. The tone of this entity’s speech also starkly contrasted with the inscriptions on the stone tablet and the note left with the [Spirit Fox Pendant].

The [Spirit Fox Shrine Maiden], from what Violet knew, was a more free-spirited and playful figure, cunning yet laid-back, and certainly not someone who would speak in such a lofty and imposing manner. She wouldn’t present herself with this kind of old-fashioned dignity.

The most telling clue, however, was in the choice of words. The white light referred to itself with terms like “this one” or “this presence”. Expressions typically used by older entities.

The real [Dawn], on the other hand, preferred the casual self-reference “this lady” or “Miss Dawn,” which perfectly aligned with her self-proclaimed title as the “young lady.”

Wen Zhengyang, Murong Yun, and the others had never personally interacted with the [Spirit Fox Shrine Maiden], so they couldn’t discern these subtle inconsistencies. But to Violet, the disparity was glaring and impossible to ignore.

If the white light wasn’t the [Spirit Fox Shrine Maiden], and it was in conflict with the white-armored guardian meant to protect the temple, what could its true identity be?

The answer was becoming clear.

“…Violet.”

“Yes, I know.”

Violet exchanged a glance with the silver-haired Hen, who had suddenly called her name. Though their conversation stopped there, the priestess immediately understood Hen’s intent.

As the one chosen by the [Ancient Spirit Realm] and granted the guidance of [Fate], Hen had the deepest understanding of the tomb. It wasn’t Xiao Kong, who claimed a connection to the [Spirit Fox Shrine Maiden], nor Violet herself, Murong Yun, or Yazi. Hen had been the one consistently guiding them to this point.

If Hen had decided to speak up now, it meant the situation was more urgent than it appeared, and they could no longer afford to stand idle.

Violet raised her holy staff. At its tip, the brilliant gemstone began to radiate an increasingly dazzling light.

At that moment, an even more intense light suddenly erupted from the white-armored warrior who was battling the white light in the sky. This warrior, whose appearance and techniques closely resembled Lucas, unleashed a power that swept through the temple and the entire tomb, completely transforming the environment.

The previously stagnant and sealed space, locked down by the [Spirit Fox Shrine Maiden]’s residual power, was instantly altered.

A pure, gentle radiance, like freshly fallen snow, engulfed everyone present. This included the [Black Scaled] soldiers who had been preparing to attack, the two combatants in the air, and Violet and her companions. The light spread like layers of drifting clouds, cascading over the sealed tomb, washing everything in its brilliance.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, the surroundings were replaced by an endless expanse of blinding white, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

“Oh…?”

The black-haired priestess, also enveloped by the light, didn’t tense up or take a defensive stance. Instead, she looked around curiously, her voice tinged with mild astonishment.

*Interesting.*

The [Spirit Fox Shrine Maiden] certainly had a way of continuously surprising people with her unexpected and unheard-of methods.

This power was unmistakably divine, far exceeding mortal capabilities. It was clearly a contingency left within the guardian, meant to be activated when the situation spiraled out of control.

The composition of this energy was extraordinarily complex, blending incompatible elements of [Matter] and [Void] into a cohesive force. It carried strong SP properties and hints of spatial manipulation. It felt like a chaotic mixture, encompassing nearly every known type of energy, yet was perfectly balanced, creating something extraordinary.

It was a miracle.

Violet felt her previously stifled spiritual sense suddenly expand effortlessly, allowing her to perceive every corner of the tomb as if it had always been meant to happen.

Shattered stones from the battle flew back into place, seamlessly restoring walls and floors to their original state. Scattered straw warriors reassembled before her eyes, their armor and weapons gleaming as if newly forged.

The entire tomb felt like it had been swept by an invisible wave, returning everything to its pristine condition.

Even the [Black Scaled] soldiers wounded by the white-armored warrior found their injuries reversing, healing rapidly. One by one, they began to vanish from the scene, reappearing outside the tomb. The other intruders in the upper levels of the tomb, including the [Shocking God Sect] members, were similarly removed.

In the end, even the companions who had been by Violet’s side were gone, leaving her entirely alone in the vast expanse of light.

This extraordinary power seemed to spare only a select few unique individuals, such as the priestess Violet or the white-armored warrior who had initiated it.

When the miraculous light finally faded, even the white glow that had claimed to be the [Spirit Fox Shrine Maiden] was gone. The temple, now restored to its original pristine condition, fell silent and empty once more.

“……”

The white-armored warrior, steel wings still gleaming, slowly descended from the air. It stood motionless in place, gazing silently at the finely crafted statue of the [Spirit Fox Shrine Maiden] in the center of the temple, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, its gaze shifted sharply to the area where the [Black Scaled] soldiers had previously gathered. Its eyes, hidden beneath its armor, flashed with a brilliant light.

On the ground lay several objects that clearly didn’t belong there, the “stone tablets.”

As the warrior made this discovery, a light, ethereal female voice echoed through the temple once more.

“Hehehe, that was close. I almost lost everything. I didn’t expect that sly fox to leave you with such a killer move. That was truly terrifying~”

“Too bad you’re just as soft-hearted as your master. If you had ignored those insignificant humans and focused all your energy on me, I wouldn’t have been able to resist such a mysterious and overwhelming power. I would have been sealed away again.”

“But now… I’ve won.”

“……”

The guardian remained silent, its gaze fixed on the center of the temple. Slowly, something began to emerge from the statue once more. No longer obscured by the white light.

Violet, watching closely, could now clearly see its true form.

It was a massive white stone tablet.

The tablet was perfectly round, about a meter in diameter, and intricately engraved with complex patterns whose meaning and purpose were utterly incomprehensible. Yet, it was incomplete. Large portions of its surface were missing, leaving it resembling an unfinished puzzle.

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed through the temple.

“AAAAHHHHHHH!!!”

Suddenly, the fragments of stone tablets on the ground rose into the air, embedding themselves into the main body of the tablet in a flash of light. Simultaneously, several beams of white light shot in from different parts of the tomb, merging with it as well.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and by the time it faded again, the stone tablet was nearly complete. Only a few small fragments at the edges were missing.

Before it, a faint white figure coalesced into the shape of a woman, who stretched lazily, as though savoring newfound freedom.

“Locked away by that cunning fox for a thousand years… I thought I’d never see the light of day again. Hehehe, fate’s not done with me after all! A bunch of fools finally came along to help~”

“……”

The guardian raised its greatsword and pointed it silently at the floating stone tablet and the woman’s projection. Behind it, its steel wings flared wide. However, the woman smiled mockingly.

“Oh? Still planning to resist? Even your master couldn’t destroy me completely, and I’ve already stepped one foot into the true [Hidden Immortal] realm.”

Responding to the guardian’s hostility, the tablet began to pulse with increasing intensity. Blurred light and shadows swirled around the woman’s projection like venomous serpents poised to strike. Her tone grew cold and sharp.

“A thousand years… A whole thousand years! Every single moment, I’ve been reflecting on those battles, calculating and strategizing how to deal with you bastards. I’ve already mapped out every single one of your tricks!”

“You, a mere puppet barely stepping into the [Ultimate Transformation] realm, dare challenge me? Even if the [Spirit Fox Shrine Maiden] herself were here today, she couldn’t stop me from breaking free!”

But just as her arrogant declaration rang through the temple, a light, melodious voice, entirely different from hers, suddenly chimed in from afar.

“Oh my~ with all those flags you’ve raised, I suppose I have no choice but to make an entrance~”

“!?”

From the shadow of one of the massive temple columns, a figure slowly stepped forward.

She wore a red-and-white shrine maiden robe, its flowing sleeves rippling gracefully with her steps, as if performing an elegant dance. Her snow-white hair cascaded down her back, pure and radiant like a moonlit frost lotus.

On her face was a lifelike fox mask that concealed her features entirely, while a pair of triangular, furry fox ears sat atop her head. At her waist hung an ancient fox-shaped jade amulet, glowing faintly.

She looked almost identical to the statue in the temple.
