Chapter 194

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dana was flustered, but responded as calmly as possible.

 

“Noah, are you okay?”

 

“…Do I look okay?”

 

Fortunately, Noah’s spirit wasn’t broken. Rather, he glared at her with resentment.

 

“It’s because of you. You’re too…”

 

“…”

 

Too what?

 

Noah made an expression as if chewing on his churning emotions, then blurted out.

 

“Have you kissed a lot of people?”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Why are you so…”

 

He seemed to want to ask why she was so good at it, but couldn’t bring himself to say it. He apparently knew enough to realize that asking such a thing would make him look pathetic.

 

‘This guy really…’

 

She bit the inside of her mouth to keep from laughing.

 

Noah really was just a kid. Only his body had grown.

 

“Noah, there’s a valley nearby.”

 

Dana suggested gently.

 

“Go wash off the blood there.”

 

And wash off some other things too.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

While Noah went to wash himself at the valley, Lete returned.

 

“Could you take Miona away? Just lock her up at your house for now.”

 

“Yes, Miss.”

 

“I’ll come to your house soon. When you get back first—”

 

Dana’s words stopped abruptly. Her head suddenly spun. It was a familiar sensation.

 

The aftereffects of overusing her purification power were hitting her.

 

She thought she was fine, but apparently the aftermath of using her power was unavoidable.

 

‘Still, this is pretty mild considering.’

 

Dana suddenly looked at her hair flowing below her shoulders.

 

When she had detonated the black core and made the ground rot, her hair had turned pitch black…

 

‘It’s turned white again.’

 

Her hair had returned to white.

 

“Miss. Are you alright?”

 

“Yeah, I’m just a bit weak…”

 

It was when Lete was helping her stand up.

 

“What’s this.”

 

Had he already finished washing?

 

Noah, wet from water, strode over.

 

“Why is that bastard here?”

 

He roughly grabbed Lete’s wrist and pulled it away as he spoke.

 

“You might not know, but that bastard is like a bat. He works under Elder Brother…”

 

“I know.”

 

“What?”

 

“I know very well what Lete does, Noah.”

 

Noah looked at her with an incredulous expression. After a moment, he slowly asked.

 

“You know what that bastard does?”

 

Dana didn’t answer.

 

She just observed him for a moment.

 

Noah was holding his wet shirt in his hand, his upper body exposed.

 

His body was like a beautiful weapon.

 

His firm chest beaded with water droplets, the distinct curves of his abs and thick arms gave off the texture of steel that nothing could scratch.

 

Yet to think that such a body had trembled as if it would break from just a shallow touch. It was hard to believe even now.

 

“Lete is helping me.”

 

Dana said calmly.

 

“You know too, don’t you Noah? That my body is sleeping somewhere around here.”

 

Noah’s jaw immediately tightened. Dana continued leisurely.

 

“Lete is helping me get my body back.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Hm?”

 

“What could he possibly gain from you that he’d betray Elder Brother and help you?”

 

Noah tilted his face and stared at her penetratingly.

 

“You don’t even have money anymore.”

 

“…”

 

“He’d gain much more staying by Elder Brother’s side than with you.”

 

“…”

 

“That bastard has some other scheme. Or you’re giving him something equivalent.”

 

Noah was quick-witted.

 

“But all you have left now is that body.”

 

Frighteningly quick.

 

“Did you sleep with him?”

 

“…”

 

“I asked if you slept with him.”

 

Dana held back a sigh. That temper really doesn’t go anywhere.

 

“No.”

 

“Ah. Right. But you’d sleep with him if he behaves well?”

 

“That’s none of your business.”

 

“How is it none of my business? You were probably thinking of doing the same thing with me.”

 

“…”

 

Dana was impressed. Noah wasn’t just quick-witted.

 

“You’re right.”

 

So she just spoke honestly. Since she’d already been caught, denying it would only create more resistance.

 

“I want the Key to the Holy Mother’s Chapel. And I want to meet with Brother Viego alone. I want you to help me get my body back.”

 

“…”

 

Silence flowed. After a moment of quiet, Noah’s lips moved.

 

“So that’s why. You deliberately tried to use me…”

 

Having said it himself, Noah’s eyebrows twisted as if hurt by his own words.

 

“Why didn’t you just be honest about it? I would have helped if you had.”

 

She should have done that.

 

If she had known that Noah had a one-sided crush on her, she would have done so from the start.

 

Noah let out a bitter laugh.

 

“Do you think I’m an idiot? That I’d willingly play along with such low-grade tricks even knowing about them?”

 

“You can refuse if you don’t want to.”

 

“Yes. I refuse. Who do you take me for, an idiot?”

 

Noah spun his body around abruptly. Dana watched his retreating back as he walked away.

 

What to do.

 

He’s completely sulking now.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

Dana didn’t return right away.

 

With Lete’s help, she obtained several Black Cores, and only then did she descend from the mountain.

 

‘I hope the day never comes when I have to detonate these Black Cores.’

 

However, if the moment comes when she must detonate them, she won’t hesitate. She must, if only to reclaim her body.

 

She became tired while descending the mountain, so Lete ended up carrying her.

 

“Still, your Recovery Ability has improved compared to before.”

 

“Hm?”

 

“In the past, didn’t you collapse for days after completing Purification? This is relatively good.”

 

“Right? It seems like Danae’s body was made better somehow.”

 

“…Of course, that could be the case, but.”

 

Lete hesitated for a moment before speaking.

 

“Miss, the source of your power is lust.”

 

“Hm?”

 

“Lust, meaning the stronger you feel sexual sensations, the stronger your power becomes. Especially after performing worship rituals.”

 

Lust makes the body stronger?

 

That was a story she heard often. It was a phrase the Diana Church had shouted until her ears were sick of it.

 

But.

 

“That wasn’t a lie but actually true?”

 

“Yes. It really does have an effect on Diana Church Believers who have consumed Holy Water. And….”

 

Lete looked down as if it was difficult to say.

 

“It would apply to you as well, Miss, since you’re the source of the Holy Water.”

 

“…So you’re saying the reason I’m in better condition than usual today is because I recently performed worship rituals?”

 

“Yes. You must have been strongly affected.”

 

“….”

 

Dana instantly felt intense revulsion.

 

She had thought it was the mad ramblings of a cult all this time, but it was real.

 

‘What is that? It’s disgusting.’

 

Though limited to those who had drunk Holy Water.

 

The Diana Church’s claim that the more Sacred Rituals one had, the healthier one became. That was the truth.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

After returning to the Grand Cathedral, she immediately went to the Bathroom to wash. Throughout her shower, those words kept circling in her mind.

 

The words that lust, sexual pleasure, would make her stronger.

 

‘Come to think of it, even when I was Danae Windsor, my power grew stronger as time passed.’

 

The great and small lusts she felt as Danae Windsor had gradually increased her power. Since she was human, she couldn’t help but feel sexual desires.

 

The stronger one feels sexual sensations, the stronger one becomes.

 

The theory that initially seemed bizarre began to feel ingenious the more she thought about it.

 

‘When I’m exhausted like now. If I feel strong sexual pleasure, I’ll recover immediately.’

 

This is quite unpleasant but… seems like a useful method.

 

Thinking coldly, she returned to the Bedroom wearing only a Bathrobe. And she was startled the moment she entered.

 

“Noah?”

 

Noah was waiting in her Bedroom.

 

Dana was a bit flustered.

 

She knew Noah would come. Still, she thought it would take at least a week, but who would have thought he’d come in just half a day.

 

“When did you come in?”

 

Noah didn’t answer.

 

After maintaining silence for a while, he spat out in a sharp voice.

 

“I have no intention of being used by you.”

 

“….”

 

“I’m the one using you.”

 

Dana almost burst out laughing.

 

How childish. Is that so important?

 

‘Well, for a prideful kid, that might be important.’

 

But Noah. If you wanted to preserve your pride, you shouldn’t have come running so quickly.

 

You should have waited until I came. But coming first yourself, even in the middle of the night, and saying such things is proof that you’re anxious.

 

―She had no obligation to tell him that.

 

“Okay.”

 

Dana simply smiled gently.

 

In the past, she would have given him advice. As a sister. To her dear Younger Brother. But.

 

That child was no longer her brother.

 

“Do as you wish.”

 

Perfect timing.

 

She had been wanting to test a new theory anyway.

 

“If you’ll help me even in that way, I’m happy.”

 

Then Noah glared at her with a stiff face. Dana asked kindly.

 

“Did you bring the Holy Mother Chapel Key?”

 

“Yes. I brought it. But I’ll give it to you depending on what you do.”

 

It was a voice trying hard to seem cold. Dana willingly pretended to shrink and approached his side….

 

She sat on his thigh.

 

“…!”

 

Dana let out a light sigh. Now she felt sorry for him.

 

“Noah, you didn’t wait in this state the entire time I was showering, did you?”

 

Then Noah’s eyes blazed with humiliation. Dana smiled while staring directly at that rebellious face.

 

Sorry to Noah, but she had no plan to give up control of this relationship.

 

She simply thought calmly.

 

Diana’s symbol, lust.

 

If that really makes me stronger….

 

Dana slightly raised her waist, then lowered it at an angle. Then Noah’s shoulders trembled finely. He said hurriedly.

 

“I, I didn’t come here for this.”

 

“For what?”

 

Dana whispered in Noah’s hotly flushed ear.

 

“What do you think I’m trying to do with you?”

 

Then she felt dizzying chills rise on his body. Dana coaxed gently.

 

“Don’t misunderstand, Noah. You won’t be taking off your Clothes.”

 

At least not today. Adding that, Dana was genuinely curious.

 

A being that considers burning one’s body with lust a virtue, is really a god?

 

Isn’t that a sin rather than a virtue?

 

…Look, like now.

 

“Ah, Nu— Dana, wait.”

 

Without principles, to grab hold of an innocent Man who loves me, to manipulate him, to test ‘that theory’, like this….

 

Rubbing and grinding heat against lust would be close to original sin.

 

Dana saw Noah’s face turn red. His focus blurred and his eyes became moist again. As expected, he was extremely sensitive.

 

“Ugh….”

 

Noah’s hands gripped her waist tightly. With his face buried in the nape of her neck, he whispered in a cracked voice.

 

“I want to touch you… Let me touch you.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Hands immediately burrowing inside her robe. Allowing the grip that clutched her flesh as if unable to endure, Dana thought about original sin.

 

Original sin.

 

Could it be this very moment?

 

The lust that consumed them now. The sensation that cut through and crossed their bodies like lightning with only thin fabric between them—that too must be original sin.

 

Moreover, wasn’t lust one of the seven sins that symbolize demons?

 

How was it different from Diana’s passion?

 

Suddenly Lyos came to mind.

 

The day of the first Divine Trial. What had he said while looking at the Seven-Headed Serpent Fresco sealed by Sun God Ramun?

 

 

 

“Pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, avarice, sloth. Which of these sins do you think you’re stained with?”

 

 

 

That bastard had condemned me.

 

Dana embraced Noah’s face pressed against her chest. Something moist and hot sucked at her. He was acting just like a newborn baby now.

 

 

 

“You’re stained with lust.”

 

 

 

Ah, but I can’t deny it at this moment…

 

 

 

“Ah, wait. I, I…”

 

The moment Noah let out a trembling voice, Dana pulled his neck tightly into her embrace.

 

Thought stopped there.

 

Pure white waves swept over all consciousness. Unable to hold back, it poured out past her lips like flowing water.

 

Slowly, she felt Noah’s pants changing just like that time. Like that day in childhood. Except this time, it wasn’t his responsibility alone.

 

Burying her face in Noah’s trembling shoulders, Dana concentrated.

 

Perhaps because she was focusing all her nerves on her body’s condition. Little by little, little by little, she felt her exhausted body recovering.

 

‘It’s real. I’m really recovering.’

 

It was so amusing that she laughed.

 

Fortunately, Noah didn’t notice. He was still letting out long, lingering echoes.

 

Dana slowly lifted her head.

 

Noah’s face was a complete mess.

 

Clouded green eyes, tears soaking his cheeks, drool at the corners of his mouth, even his gasping breath.

 

‘Cute.’

 

She carefully wiped Noah’s cheeks and chin with the sleeve of her bathrobe. Then she pressed her lips to his reddened eyelids with a soft kiss.

 

Just like Noah had done in childhood, like that.

 

“Thank you, Noah.”

 

That day Noah gave her many gifts.

 

Intense sensations and unpleasant realizations.

 

And even the Key to the Holy Mother’s Chapel and the meeting with Viego.
