There was no free lunch in the sky.
When Kieran was in the orphanage, he deeply understood the saying.
Even though it was a orphanage in name, orphans like him had to work hard in exchange for food and a bed. Of course, it wasn't too harsh and was much better than some of the church's orphanages.
At least he wouldn't be punished because he didn't raise enough donations.
But if he couldn't complete it, his words and expressions would still carry the essence of harm.
Looking at the shining statue before his eyes, would she really give him the gift without holding back and asking for anything in return?
Kieran didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.
Although the situation seemed to be extremely dangerous, one of the Twenty Hounds of the Elder Council was closing in without limit and there were Marulyn friars dying every second.
But among so many Marulyn friars, why would she choose him?
Because he was stronger?
So she would grant an outsider like him to help her own?
It didn't make sense!
It didn't make sense at all!
After all, granting the gift to her own and working with him would be the most reasonable way.
Even though Sister Reid was a merciful and merciful person, she should know which choice was the best for her Marulyn Church.
Of course, there was another more important reason!
That elder who left!
He knew Kieran was in St. Reid Hospital yet he still walked into the trap set up by the Elder Council without any hesitation.
Then …
Did he foresee the situation before his eyes? During the most dangerous moment, the [Sister Reid Statue] would undergo such changes after the prayers of many Marulyn friars?
The answer was yes.
As one of the higher ranks of Marulyn, he must be the inheritor, it was impossible for him not to know.
Yet even with such knowledge, he still left.
Was it because he didn't like the gift?
Or would the gift have a hidden danger that was hard to be remedied?
Kieran's vigilance made his mind spin rapidly.
"Accept my gift and you will gain power that surpasses mortals!
You will be worshipped by mortals like a holy spirit! "
The statue's voice echoed in Kieran's ears.
It was merciful and soft.
However, it made Kieran's heart firmer.
"I …"
Kieran lengthened his tone.
The light on the statue became more and more dazzling, and a vast aura appeared on the statue. It seemed that once Kieran finished speaking, he would be able to obtain this power.
"Rejected!"
Kieran blurted out the latter part of his sentence.
At the same time, the [Interrogator Knife] in Kieran's hand mercilessly slashed over the thinnest and weakest part of the sculpture's neck.
Since he had already chosen to refuse, Kieran did not intend to have the possibility of peaceful coexistence.
Rather than waiting for the other party to turn hostile, it was better to strike first and gain the upper hand!
At least, when Kieran faced the High Demon outside, he had the confidence to pay a certain price and escape, but the prayed statue in front of him was something he had no idea about.
Therefore, not only did Kieran strike first to gain the upper hand, but he also went all out.
The [Interrogator Knife] in Kieran's right hand didn't stop there, it spun Kieran's body to the right while Kieran's legs kicked out.
Whoosh!
Pak Pak Pak!
The thin knife blade produced an unusual noise in the air, but it was quickly drowned out by the noise of cloth being whipped.
One kick followed the other.
One kick followed the other.
It was as if a raging tide was roaring, the waves were as loud as thunder, the continuous kicks drowning the sculpture completely.
The brilliance on the sculpture faded away, the cracks on the sculpture looked like broken porcelain.
Then …
The clay statue shattered.
Kak!
A clear crack later, the sculpture exploded, revealing the person inside!
The white-haired elder in a long robe!
The elder's eyes were filled with pain and disbelief as he looked at Kieran, who was attacking him. He didn't understand how his plan was seen through by Kieran at the very last moment.
Blood flowed out from the elder's fingers that covered his neck.
But what was even more fatal was his body.
His muscles, bones, organs.
His body was crushed into pieces by Kieran's stormy attacks.
However, the elder wasn't willing to let it end like this.
He glared at Kieran angrily, wanting to drag the hunter before him down with him.
"I want …"
“AIOPLDS！”
Kieran, who had been preparing for a long time, chanted the incantation loudly. He crossed his thumbs over each other and spread out his other fingers, both palms facing the struggling elder.
KABOOM!
A cone-shaped flame engulfed the elder.
The burning flame became the last straw that broke the elder's back.
"NOOOO!"
Amid the agonizing roar, everything around him started to shatter.
The darkness that Kieran saw, the hospital hall, the friar Marulyn and the Twenty Hounds of the Elder Council were all shattered.
BANG!
With a low explosion, everything in front of him disappeared.
Kieran was still standing in the corridor that he snuck in from the side door of the hospital.
The ambusher's body was beside his feet.
In front of him was a charred body, standing straight.
In his hand was the uncorked potion bottle.
However, the potion bottle was glowing with a golden radiance in Kieran's eyes.
"Illusory realm?!
Legendary rank item?! "
Kieran regained his senses after being stunned for a while.
He grabbed the seemingly normal potion bottle from the man's hand.
The potion bottle had a very simple and unadorned design.
It looked like a porcelain but it was actually made of metal. It was no taller than 4 cm and the width of a thumb but it was very heavy. Based on Kieran's estimation, it should be around 10 kg.

…
"So this is what he used to pull me into the illusory realm just now?"
Kieran recalled everything that happened just now.
He realized he couldn't differentiate the real from the fake.
Hoskin and Teresa were all so real.
The battle between the Marulyn Church and the Elder Council in the main hall of the hospital was also so real.
But in the end …
Huuu!
Kieran took a deep breath and discarded the experience out of his mind.
Holding [Shiriad's Sigh] in his hand, Kieran looked at the other two Magic rank items.
A dagger and a pair of shoes.

Whether it was an illusion or not.
The items before Kieran's eyes were all real.
After Kieran quickly equipped himself, he turned his attention to the [Sister Reid Statue] in the main hall.
Or rather, the person beside the statue.
