Chapter 47 – "The Fifth Companion"

  As they were about to leave, the priest suddenly spoke:

  — Wait. You won’t be able to make this journey alone.

  Leonel frowned.

  — And what do you suggest?

  — She will go with you, — he pointed at the temple attendant.

  You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

  Everyone turned to her. She looked slightly surprised but not afraid.

  — My name is Reyna, — she said calmly, folding her hands. — If my help is truly needed, I will go.

  — It’s dangerous, — Mirellis noted.

  — I know, — Reyna smiled. — But I am not just a temple attendant. I am the saint of this temple.

  Ethan nearly choked on air.

  — Saint… what?

  Reyna looked at him with a slight smirk.

  — In this world, a saint is someone blessed by the Light. And if you need to reach the Fracture… you will need the help of Light.

  Leonel, who had been watching her closely, finally nodded.

  — Alright. Then let’s hurry.

  But Reyna suddenly raised a finger.

  — Wait a minute.

  With those words, she disappeared into the temple. When she returned…

  Ethan blinked.

  Stan whistled.

  Leonel raised an eyebrow slightly.

  Mirellis looked on in admiration.

  Before them no longer stood a mere temple attendant in long robes but a warrior. Her light cloak shimmered with shades of gold and celestial blue. Wavy white hair, adorned with yellow and blue strands, was neatly arranged, and in her golden eyes burned determination.

  — Now I am ready, — Reyna said calmly.

  Thus, their party became five.
