Sins Paradise: Domination System

Garcia, Cecil, and Lisa actually returned that night after I finished talking with Alesia and Tristan. They immediately hit the bed, tired from the investigation. Lisa actually wanted to keep watch at night, but I forced her to rest.

As for Alesia and Tristan, they returned to their respective home after our discussion to prepare for tomorrow.

The headmistress would communicate with me through [Earring of Communication] to direct me toward the flower field, which was apparently located far away from Pleasure City and was close to the border between the Virtue and Sin Kingdom.

She looked at Tristan once again before leaving. I was curious about what she had in mind, but I didn't ask because I knew she wouldn't answer me.

The next day arrived. It was 2 days before the Annual Tournament.

Students from each academy were nervous, and the citizens were excited to see the tournament because it was the biggest event the Academy City had offered. They could watch it through a projector magic item which would be installed in the city plaza or directly in the location.

But for me and the church knights, it was the day of the raid to destroy the source of Sins. To march toward the Pleasure City, it would need us around 2 or 3 days. However, the matter of time was settled thanks to Alesia. She was kind enough to help us teleport using her <Space Magic>.

The raid team consisted of two knight squads only. It was my knight squad and Gerald's knight squad. He was the captain of church knights in Bluerose Duchy, and Ertha said he would help because Pleasure City was close to Bluerose Duchy.

Because she acted as the replacement for Archbishop in that city for a while, she developed some kind of relationship with them. For the record, the broken Adam had lost all his memory and was now serving as a church knight to pay for his previous Sins.

Ertha was the one who saved him from Confusion and a Controlled state with the help of the Goddess. He was still Fallen, but his heart was said to believe in the Goddess Teri. She was also the one who told him about Adam's state just now.

'It seems the Goddess still has her attention on Adam, probably thanks to his title as [Child of Hell]. The charmed state should still be in effect, so I am not worried that he would lose control. Beatrice can command him if he tries to do something to us.'

However, the fact that the Goddess pardoned Adam to the point she helped to lift his Confusion and Controlled state made me curious about what was so special about Adam's title.

'I will use <Appraisal> on it later.'

Anyway, he was Level 65 Devilkin, or rather Level 64, after I killed him that day. He would prove to be an extra power to destroy that factory.

"Are you ready?"

Currently, I was in the church training area with Ertha and Alesia standing beside me. I was wearing black clothes and pants, Level 60 equipment made from [Speed Lizard], with the effect of increasing my AGI slightly.

My knight squad was standing in front of me, fully in silver armor and the equipment I gave them that night, except for Tristan, who wore a white elf tunic, green leather armor, and holding a pure white bow with a quiver slung over her back.

Rania stood in front of them all while holding a silver sword, [Fairy Longsword], in her left hand. It was something I gave her to replace her broken sword. Sophia held her claymore over her shoulders. Lea pumped her hands in front of her chest. Natasha nodded slightly.

Tristan looked rather serious because she knew how dangerous Pink Faced Flower was and wanted to destroy it quickly.

They were all answering at the same time,

"Yes!"

"Great." I nodded, turning to Ertha. "Pray for our success, Bishop Ertha."

"May Goddess Teri's blessing be with you, Your Holiness." The Bishop put her hands together above her large breasts and prayed.

Somehow, I felt a bit warm, as if she used a buff. The other seemed to feel it too, and looked around in confusion.

I quickly took a glance at my status and noticed that I was indeed buffed. All my status had increased slightly by 5 points, and I looked at Ertha in surprise.

'Her prayer has such an effect? Is it because she's the Holy Maiden, One of Holy Bodies, and Half-Angel?'

This helped.

"Thank you, Bishop Ertha," I said, and she smiled in response.

Turning to the headmistress, she nodded before I could say anything.

"Anytime." She said shortly. A long wooden staff appeared in her hand. For her to teleport six people at once, equipment was indeed needed. "Join them. I will teleport you to Bluerose Duchy, near the church."

"Alright." I nodded and went over to my knight squad. Standing beside Tristan, I gave a sign to Alesia that she could teleport us anytime.

Meanwhile, I whispered something to my closest comrade's ear.

"Be careful with someone named Adam. If he tries to do something that's not in the plan, kill him."

Hearing my serious warning, Tristan glanced at me and nodded without saying anything. She understood that my warning had a reason behind it.

"I will teleport you now." Alesia raised her wooden staff, and light converged in front of it.

A large magic circle appeared under our feet. It let out a golden glow, different from the usual teleportation circle she used to come and go. I also held a [Teleportation Gem], which would take me near the Pink Faced Flower field after I introduced my knight squad to Gerald.

When the light shone brightly at the end, our view shifted, and we arrived in a training area of the church in the Bluerose Duchy. It was smaller than the one in the Academy City, and a man in silver armor stood in front of us.

He was Gerald, and he saluted and bowed his head deeply.

"Welcome to Bluerose Duchy, Your Holiness. And everyone else from the Academy City too, welcome. My name is Gerald. I am Level 43, a Captain of the Bluerose Duchy church knight under Archbishop Linza. He is currently in the Holy City and is unable to greet you. Please forgive him."

"That's not a problem, Sir Gerald. Please guide them and tell them about the raid plan. I believe you've been given an explanation by the shadow squad."

"Yes, precisely." Gerald raised his head and flashed a smile. "Best of luck to you, Your Holiness. May I speak with the Vice-Captain of your squad?"

"That would be me." Rania stepped forward and saluted. "My name is Rania Reynala, the Paladin squad Vice-Captain. Let's talk about the details of our missions."

"Rania Reynala…" Gerald muttered as his eyes widened in realization. He then quickly returned to normal as he gestured. "Please, this way. The other knights will join our discussion."

"Yes." Rania nodded and followed Gerald with the others.

I waved my hand at them, "Good luck. I am counting on you." I said.

They nodded with smiles on their faces, except for Lea and Natasha, who appeared to be nervous. This would be their second mission, but this would also be the most important one they ever did. I hoped their nervousness would spell no trouble for them and everyone.

"Now then. Let's destroy the field."

I raised the [Gem of Teleportation] and activated it. My figure disappeared and reappeared on the hill before a wide flower field.
