After a night's rest.
Inside the room, the black armor began peeling away in sections from the middle of Lamias's neckline, then contracting piece by piece toward the back of her neck. In the end, only a fingernail-sized lump remained attached there.
She reached out and touched her abdomen and ribs. A trace of relief appeared on her face—only to turn solemn an instant later.
"The armor has finished repairing itself, and thanks to Eve's surgical skills, I used the healing spell built into the armor and recovered almost completely in one go. I can engage in high-intensity combat at any time now. It's just that..."
She had already attacked Father Stra once. Judging from the current situation, the Holy Church would definitely tighten its defenses... The Fallen Force Field of the Reversal Holy Relic had also been exposed. Next time, dealing with Knight Vasco would probably not be so easy.
Of course, Lamias did not think Vasco could develop a way to counter the Fallen Force Field in such a short time... She still had some time to use as a buffer—before the Holy Church's main forces arrived.
Actually, she had intended to succeed in one attempt, but she had never expected Father Stra to be completely unaffected by the Fallen Force Field.
"Could Stra's Holy Power be mutated Holy Power, which is why it isn't affected by the field..."
Lamias's thoughts raced. If this guess was close to the truth, then it seemed to explain why the quality of Father Stra's Holy Power was so high that it could be called the finest in the entire Holy Church.
This operation to capture Stra had been exposed. The Holy Church would surely investigate its own ranks—after all, Father Stra's seclusion in this seaside town was a highly classified secret
