[The Holy light is supposedly fooling you——Completed]
[Unlock condition: Convince fifteen villains to change their minds (15/15)]
[Awarded Title: Super High School Level Priest]
[Do you want to equip the title?]
As soon as Derrick sent away the last villain, the system's prompt appeared.
"It's finally finished."
Derrick didn't hesitate and quickly chose to equip the title in the confessional.
[Equipped successfully!]
[Title: Super High School Level - Priest]
[Description: May the Holy Light guide you on your path][Characteristic: mana]
Suddenly, Derrick felt an obscure and mysterious energy springing up in himself, and spread all over his body.
Derrick's perception became more acute. It was as if there had been a thin veil separating him from the world before, but now that it had been lifted, he could feel all sorts of changes around him.
Derrick looked down and saw a translucent body emerging from the priest.
Derrick touched his chin, and suddenly had a guess in his head, 'Could this be the so-called soul?'
Upon close inspection, Derrick saw that the priest's soul was marred by black spots, as if his white robe was stained with mud.
Derrick stretched out his hand to touch the priest's soul.
The energy in Derrick's body rushed towards the priest as if it was being sucked by his soul.
Due to the infusion of this energy, the black spots that were visible on the priest's robe gradually cleaned until they disappeared completely.
"Well…"
The priest's face brightened, and it seemed that he was about to wake up.
Derrick was a little surprised. The dose of this anesthesia injection could knock an adult unconscious for four hours. It has only been a little more than two hours, how could he wake up so soon?
'It must have something to do with the mana in my body. Judging by the state of the priest, mana should not be the one like we see in fiction but rather, it has the ability to clear negative states, purify things.'
"These are the characteristics of divine power…could it be that I have supreme mana and can do anything? What about a fireball spell to test my magic?"
Thinking of this, Derrick couldn't help raising his hand to condense the fireball...
'By the way, what's the fireball spell?'
Derrick was stunned. He hadn't learned any spells, and the spells he knew were only those named in Harry Potter. Avada Kedavra.
Derrick looked at the priest who was waking up.
After waiting for a few seconds, the priest was no longer unconscious and slowly opened his eyes.
This time Derrick controlled the magic power to flow to his fingertips, pointing at the priest again and chanting.
"Uhh, mind control!"
"???"
The priest woke up, and he looked at Derrick with a terrified face, as he recalled what happened before he fell.
Derrick's eyes froze, he hurriedly took out an anesthesia gun and shot at the priest, "Let me complete what I was doing!"
Priest: "Ah..."
The priest fell down after losing his consciousness again, but it was important. There was a large black spot that Derrick missed previously and saw right before the priest woke up, thereby stealing the opportunity for him to heal it.
According to Derrick's guess, the dark spot should be from some other toxins left in his body.
'In that case, the priest would have to thank me later?'
As the priest woke up again after getting healed, he realized what Derrick did and instead of scolding him, he said, "May God bless you, boy."
After the priest finished talking, Derrick walked out of the confessional, only to see Matt standing outside with a blank face.
"You devil."
What happened in the confessional did not escape Matt's senses. He clearly heard how Derrick tricked those "faithful and innocent" believers, as well as the priest who had been knocked out several times.
Derrick said in a serious tone, "How can I be a devil? Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. I am a priest. You can't doubt me just because I am young."
Just when Matt was about to refute, a believer who came to the confessional happened to see them.
"You..." the man yelled.
Matt secretly thought something was wrong, the man must have spotted the mistake in Derrick's disguise.
But what he was worried about was not Derrick's identity being exposed, but Derrick's reaction after being exposed. Matt couldn't guarantee whether this guy would become angry or stay calm.
Matt tensed up. If Derrick made any abnormal movements, he would immediately stop him.
The believer looked at Matt, and then at Derrick who was wearing a robe. The man's expression suddenly brightened up.
"I'm sorry, Father, I interrupted your communication with a fellow believer."
"???"
Matt was stunned for a moment, this was completely different from what he thought.
However, what Matt did not know was that Derrick, who has a super high school priest title equipped at the moment, was a perfect image of a priest in the eyes of believers. His movements and smiles were full of piety and faith.
Derrick's whole body seemed to be surrounded by divine light.
The believer apologized devoutly, hoping to get forgiveness from Derrick.
Derrick drew a perfect cross on his chest, and smiled gently, "It's okay, child, you didn't disturb anyone."
Even Matt was able to feel it this time!
Derrick's voice seemed to have a special magical power. Hearing his words, Matt involuntarily became calm, and what was even more surprising was that Matt actually had a thought to confide in Derrick.
'What exactly is going on!?'
If it was not due to the past impression he had of Derrick, Matt would also believe that Derrick is a real priest like the other believer.
"Father, thank you for your forgiveness."
Looking at Derrick's face getting blessed in the sun, the believer felt as if his heart had been baptized. He couldn't help but want to confess his thoughts, "Father, I have sinned, I have too many sins to confess. Could I talk to you?"
"Sorry, child but we're closed now. Come back tomorrow." Ignoring the blank eyes of the believer, Derrick walked out of the church in the priest's robe.
Matt took a deep breath, and the shaky thoughts in his heart were instantly gone.
He faced the statue of God in the church with a sad and indignant expression.
'God, please come and save your poor believers, the devil has come to the world.'
'If you don't show up again, the devil might influence your believers and…"
