The Devil's Cage Chapter 850 – Chance!
Kieran rushed to Sister Moni’s room.
A room that only had the basic living supplies and furniture, similar to an apostle’s room.
On top of the single mattress wooden bed, the elderly sister was laying down with her eyes closed. A doctor without his “crow outfit” was checking on her.
“Don’t have to worry everyone, she’s just a little bit overworked, exhausted, not infected by the plague.”
When the doctor provided the result, Acker and the other two school security members in the room felt relieved instantly.
As the main hand in treating the plague, if the elderly sister was infected, it would be a terrible thing to happen.
“But I hope everyone here will remember how old Sister Moni is, she can’t be running around and dealing with things like a young energetic person anymore. So, we should really share her burden more,” the doctor said.
Everyone around nodded as. Basically, those who were in the room were the ones who had a deeper relationship with Sister Moni, be it saving their lives before or previously receiving her teachings.
Just like the doctor who treated her, although they were not teacher and student by name, he did learn the art of healing under Sister Moni for almost 3 years.
Kieran slightly frowned after getting the detailed information from Acker.
Sister Moni passing out from exhausted at this particular time wasn’t a good thing but from a certain aspect, it might not be all that bad as well.
Things were like a coin with two sides, the good might turn bad and the bad might turn good.
After some thought, Kieran signaled Acker with a wave of his hand.
“Acker, I need you to spread the news this evening…”
Kieran whispered in Acker’s ear, while Acker’s face changed repeatedly following Kieran’s words but he didn’t reject it, because other than the fact Acker trusted Kieran, it was also because of his God’s Child identity.
While the elderly sister was in bed because of exhaustion and Guntherson was away from the school, it was natural that Kieran gained the acknowledgement of the St. Paolo security team.

The security team was different from the hired teachers, from a certain aspect, the security members was a sort of extension of the Church of Dawn, lingering in between believer and knight.
Of course, in terms of strength, Acker still had a wide gap to fill compared to a real knight yet his heart was devoted enough.
“Something happened?” Acker asked Kieran.
“Mmm. Nothing really important, I’ll deal with it myself, don’t forget about the things I’ve told you.”
Kieran then went outside after delivering his orders at the same time reminding Acker.
Acker nodded to express his acknowledgment as well.
Kieran walked non-stop towards the small chapel’s entrance, he went into it carefully and double the vigilance.
After the previous resonance, this was the first time Kieran entered the small chapel.
He was much more serious than he had ever been in scanning the entire church, he didn’t even spare the smallest corner and his mind was recalling the knowledge from Pro [Mystical Knowledge], hoping to find some leftover traces.
At the same time, Kieran didn’t forget to connect all the dots as well.
The conversation with Gateli before this had given him some important clues.
The baffling questions that he had for a while were all answered in an instant.
Compared to the whole St. Paolo School, the small chapel was the final goal of Gateli and the Revival Society, because the place was where the New God would be born.
“Around a thousand years ago, the Goddess of Dawn produced her miracles here and saved the people who were tortured by Ancilanco, at the same time destroying him. But Ancilanco would have left something behind including the Ancilanco Codex as his back up plan, hoping to be revived one day.”
“Time zips by in the blink of an eye, when the Church of Dawn had fallen, Ancilanco’s chance had finally arrived but He didn’t expect the codex would fall into Sister Moni’s hand, thus she had become the obstacle that was preventing his revival. This obstacle should also have some restrictions like, “unable to make the move himself” or “the related factions were unable to move”, something like that but, the dead were not restricted!”

“No, no, something doesn’t add up! If it was just reviving Ancilanco, they would have just called it a revival, why would they call Ancilanco a New God? Could it be?”
Kieran suddenly thought of something since he had quite the understanding of the mystical realm, he squinted his eyes unconsciously at the statue of the Goddess of Dawn.
His guesses were completely absurd but he couldn’t think of any other possibilities and in order to verify his guesses, Kieran stepped out of the small chapel temporarily and drew the [Seal of Dawn] on the ground outside again.
A faint light shined over the simple drawing.
Kieran’s Dawn Force in his body also accelerated and the small chapel behind him resonated with him once again.
[Energy resonance, Musou Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art acquired a certain amount of experience, leveling cost decreased by 10,000…]
[Energy resonance, Musou Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art acquired a certain amount of experience, leveling cost decreased by 10,000…]
[Energy resonance, Musou Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art acquired a certain amount of experience, leveling cost decreased by 10,000…]
…
10 more notifications popped up again and it was very much similar to the first time he resonated.
The first 5 notifications decreased by 10,000 Points and the last 5 decreased by 5000 Points.
The only thing different was, Kieran’s [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art]’s Points requirement already hit 0 and Golden Skill Points required another 17 more after the reduction from the [Unknown Remains].
When the required Points hit 0, the system even gave Kieran a new notification;
[Energy resonance, Musou Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art acquired a certain amount of experience, Points calculated into Golden Skill Points, fallen short of minimal value, accumulation begins…]
It seemed like, under the effect of resonance, there was hope for Points to convert into Golden Skill Points but the value required would be immensely huge, yet it was still good news to Kieran because no matter how much was required, he was getting all of it effortlessly.
As long as Ancilanco didn’t change his plans!
When the resonance effect faded away completely, Kieran drew the [Seal of Dawn] again, initiating the resonance process again.
[Energy resonance, Musou Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art acquired a certain amount of experience, level cost decreased by 0.1 Golden Skill Points]
[Energy resonance, Musou Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art acquired a certain amount of experience, Points calculated into Golden Skill Points, fallen short of minimal value, accumulation begins…]
[Energy resonance, Musou Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art acquired a certain amount of experience, Points calculated into Golden Skill Points, fallen short of minimal value, accumulation begins…]
…
Looking at the notifications, Kieran smirked, his finger was drawing non-stop after that, the [Seal of Dawn] was drawn on the ground one after another.
Countless white shines gathered around and it was extremely bright even under the day.
If the place wasn’t the deepest part of St. Paolo School, Kieran might have attracted a crowd.
Kieran was bathing himself under the white radiance, he almost burst into delightful laughter when he saw that the required Golden Skill Points to level [the Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] to Transcendence were decreasing gradually.
Everything was just like he had expected, Ancilanco had stolen a part of the Goddess of Dawn’s abilities.
How did he do it? Kieran has no idea, perhaps St. Paolo Church was originally his turf to begin with, or maybe some accident happened throughout the thousand years, resulting in this outcome but none of that mattered to Kieran.
All Kieran knew was this Ancilanco who was posing as the Goddess of Dawn and had tried to bring Kieran, the God’s Child under his control had given him a chance.
As for the chance presented to him, Kieran made up his mind that he would never give up!
Looking at the small chapel which was gradually showing a will of its own through the resonance process, Kieran quickly drew two more [Seal of Dawn] without a second thought.
Instantly, the required Golden Skill Points to Transcendence [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] was decreasing even faster.
