She didn't want to dirty her eyes, especially when she was using Miss Moonlit's body.
"But if I kill them all, they won't dirty them."
With a shift in thought, the girl bared a terrifying smile. She had originally worried that if her target turned out to be a good person, stealing their Sacred Gear might not be right.
Now, Miss Moonlit had no such concerns.
Lost Priests—priests who had betrayed the Church and joined the Fallen Angels—could never be good people.
Even if they had once been good people, mingling with those Fallen Angels would surely turn them evil. The girl would feel no guilt toward people like that, nor would she show mercy when killing them.
It wasn't that Fallen Angels had no good people among them, but most Fallen Angels—especially those at the bottom—were rarely anything decent.
What good luck!
Not only had she found a Sacred Gear, but she could also complete the kill bounties for Lost Priests and Fallen Angels along the way.
This was truly a bountiful harvest...
The girl raised the chainsaw in her hand, walked step by step to the church's entrance, then violently kicked the doors open.
Bang!!
The enormous sound immediately startled the six people "playing a game" inside, scaring the four Lost Priests limp!
"Damn it! Who is it?!"
"How dare you offend the noble Fallen Angel ladies!!!"
The two Fallen Angels reacted first. They hurriedly stood up and glared furiously toward the entrance, already gathering Spears of Light in their hands.
Only then did the priests hurriedly dress themselves and grab the weapons beside them.
Though angry, they were not particularly afraid or nervous. In their minds, with the Fallen Angel ladies here, there was basically no need to worry about their safety.
Angels, even Fallen Angels, were not beings ordinary people dared provoke.
Back when they had been priests of the Church, they had spent their entire lives without ever seeing a miracle, much less beholding an angel's true appearance. Yet after joining the Fallen Angels, they had not only been valued... the noble Fallen Angel ladies even satisfied such desires of theirs.
Though they could only be passive during their games, while the Fallen Angels took the initiative.
Still, it was worth it. They had never enjoyed such benefits in the Church, where they were not even qualified to look upon angels.
Fallen Angel ladies really were the best!
"The banquet begins!"
Miss Moonlit neither answered nor paid any attention to the people before her. She merely fixed her crimson gaze on the seductive Fallen Angel, raised her chainsaw, and charged in to kill without mercy.
There was no need for so much nonsense. Killing them would settle everything.
"Damn it, it's only a vampire!!"
Seeing the girl charging at them viciously and noticing her fangs, the Fallen Angel sneered, her expression filled with displeasure.
Even ordinary Fallen Angels were usually lofty and superior.
Especially when facing humans and certain other races.
Vampires were even less worth mentioning before Fallen Angels.
Not only had she interrupted their fun, she even dared attack them! Unforgivable!!
The two Fallen Angels instantly hurled the Spears of Light in their hands. Their power of light naturally restrained demons and vampires.
The Prey Targeted by a Vampire Cannot Escape
Miss Moonlit did not care at all about the Spears of Light flying toward her. She simply slashed at them with her chainsaw, instantly shattering the Spears of Light.
"What?!"
Before the Fallen Angels could even recover from their shock, Miss Moonlit had already destroyed both Spears of Light and appeared in front of one of them in an instant.
This was Miss Moonlit's speed—a movement speed ordinary people could not comprehend.
The girl raised her chainsaw high and ruthlessly smashed it down at the target before her. The Fallen Angel, unable to resist in time, had her wings severed.
"Ahhh! What kind of joke is this? You're only a vampire!"
Blood blossomed. The Fallen Angel screamed repeatedly, madness appearing in her eyes as she desperately unleashed the power within her in an attempt to fight back.
However, Miss Moonlit did not stop. Her chainsaw hacked down at the Fallen Angel again and again as a yandere laugh escaped her lips.
This insane scene was even more terrifying than the Fallen Angels themselves.
In the blink of an eye, that Fallen Angel had been completely dismembered by the chainsaw.
When the other Fallen Angel saw what had happened to her companion, she was terrified. Even she did not dare resist such a brutal scene!
Without the slightest hesitation, she abandoned her companion and the Lost Priests. Spreading her wings, she prepared to flee. Too terrifying! This vampire was far too terrifying!
This was a true demon.
The Fallen Angel swiftly took off, intending to escape through a window above the church. Just as she was about to leave the church and fly into the wider sky, a terrifying voice sounded beside her ear.
"Where are you going? Prey targeted by a vampire cannot escape."
"How is that possible!!"
The Fallen Angel was horrified, nearly wetting herself.
Then, she instinctively tried to beg for mercy.
"Spare me, I can..."
But...
The chainsaw roared, and blood blossomed once again.
This Fallen Angel was also split in two, the terror on her face freezing forever.
How could the girl possibly let her go? If these Fallen Angels escaped, they would surely bring more people back to settle the score.
From what she knew of Fallen Angels, that would absolutely happen. Bullying the weak, fearing the strong, and being arrogant were the nature of most Fallen Angels.
They would do anything to achieve their goals.
Miss Moonlit naturally did not fear ordinary Fallen Angels, but she was worried about drawing the attention of those eight-winged and ten-winged Fallen Angels.
The girl had not yet grown strong enough. It was best to avoid enemies of that level whenever possible.
"So... I'm stronger than I imagined."
Miss Moonlit looked at the falling corpses. She had killed those two Fallen Angels so easily that even though they were merely the most ordinary two-winged Fallen Angels, she was still somewhat surprised.
She had thought it would be troublesome, that they would at least exchange a few moves.
After all, her level was still quite low. She was only level a few.
She had underestimated her own power, underestimated Miss Moonlit's power.
After killing the two Fallen Angels, Miss Moonlit returned to the church. Next were the remaining four Lost Priests, and the Sacred Gear... was with one of them.
At this moment, the four Lost Priests had not fled, or rather, they had not had time to. Everything that had happened before their eyes was too fast for them to believe.
In their eyes, the lofty Fallen Angel ladies had been killed so easily.
Fallen Angels were still angels! Mythical creatures, beings on a higher level.
And they had simply died like that?
When the girl landed before the four men, they trembled in fear and instinctively tried to run.
"Now, it's your turn."
Miss Moonlit approached them step by step, dragging her inactive chainsaw behind her... Fallen Angel blood still dripped from its blade to the floor, making the girl look especially terrifying.
"Spare... spare us! Don't kill me!!"
The priests fearfully begged the girl for mercy.
But the girl did not stop. The terrifying chainsaw continued smashing down toward them until... an intangible shield blocked her attack.
"Found it. Looks like it's on you!"
Though her attack had been blocked, Miss Moonlit did not care. She had already guessed this would happen and had not even used much strength. She had done it precisely to make him activate his Sacred Gear.
Looking at the intangible shield blocking her, its defense was much stronger than she had imagined.
"Hahahaha..."
The girl continued smashing the chainsaw against the intangible shield. The force was so great that even the ground shook continuously.
Yet even so, the intangible shield remained undamaged. However, the priest using the Sacred Gear had turned pale, blood flowing from his mouth.
He could no longer sustain the Sacred Gear.
Finally, the intangible shield vanished, and the priest collapsed to the ground, unable to hold himself up.
Seeing this, Miss Moonlit finally stopped. She casually sent the other three priests flying, then stepped on the Artifact Wielder's body.
"Sacred Gear Extraction!"
She reached into the void toward the priest beneath her. The Artifact Wielder let out an incomparably agonized scream, and then a jewel-like black jade orb emerged from his body.
This was the form the Sacred Gear took outside the body. It was not a traditional weapon, but a companion entity residing within the human spirit.
At this moment, the Sacred Gear seemed to struggle, trying to escape.
But the girl seized it tightly in one hand...
"This is the Sacred Gear? Shield of Protection?"
The girl looked curiously at the thing in her hand. This was only a B-Rank bounty Sacred Gear, yet it possessed such excellent defensive power!
She really wondered what kind of power and effects the Sacred Gears from S-Rank and SS-Rank Bounties would have.
"Ai-chan, how much can this be sold for?"
The girl kicked away the half-dead priest beneath her foot and asked Ai-chan while holding the Sacred Gear.
She had no need for this Sacred Gear. It was not worth wielding. At the very least, it had to be a Sacred Gear worthy of residing in her body—and one she actually liked.
Sacred Gear "Shield of Protection" can be recycled by the system. Value: 280 Crystals.
"280 Crystals? Exactly enough for one supply pull?"
Tsk...
That little? What good could one supply pull give her?
Unless a miracle happened, only ten pulls guaranteed one piece of equipment, Stigmata, or an A-Rank Valkyrie.
Compared to one pull, wasn't this Sacred Gear's ability better?
But after hesitating for a moment, the girl still sold it. She truly had no use for the thing. It would be better to save more Crystals and raise her Valkyrie rank to SSS.
System Notification: Recycling successful. Congratulations, Captain, you have obtained 280 Crystals.
Seeing her Crystal balance rise, the girl's mood improved considerably.
The reward for recycling the Sacred Gear was much higher than the bounty reward itself. Together, it was equivalent to an A-Rank bounty. More importantly, the Crystals gained from recycling Sacred Gears did not take up bounty slots and had no limit on the number of times they could be obtained.
Including the Crystals gained from killing the Lost Priests and Fallen Angels, what she had already received, the Sacred Gear's value, and the Monthly Card income, her balance had now reached 1010 Crystals, plus 60 future Crystals from the remaining 28 days of the Monthly Card, and 500 Crystals in the middle of the month.
A Glance That Lasted Ten Thousand Years!
Miss Moonlit sat in a room at the town inn, quietly staring out at the moonlight beyond the window as she blankly lost herself in thought.
"Another full moon night."
After leaving the church, the girl had not hurried to leave the town. Instead, she rented a room at the inn. Well, she had money now!
It was not much, but enough to live on for a few days.
As for where the money had come from?
Naturally, the priests had provided it. Fortunately, electronic payments were not common in this place or era, so people carried cash with them. Otherwise, she really would not have found any money.
