Humans, when confronted with beings superior to themselves, would instinctively feel admiration or jealousy. Just like Mai at this moment, her eyes couldn't help but show a hint of admiration as she looked at Susan.
If joining this Saintess religion could make her as outstanding as this Saintess San, then it seemed like a good idea. Such thoughts arose in Mai's mind.
"I... I am willing to join you to believe in the Holy Lord-sama."
Out of impulse and under the pressure of her parents, Mai made a decision.
With Mai's answer, a smile appeared on Susan's face.
Maybe this girl in front of her was just testing the waters and any unexpected events could make her change her decision. But Susan didn't care. As long as she joined them, she would definitely become a devout follower of Holy Lord-sama.
Susan was very sure of this!
In addition to Mai, many other parents also pushed their daughters to join the Saintess religion. However, as Susan had said before, not everyone was qualified to join. After a selection process, only fifteen girls were deemed eligible by Susan to become members.
Under the envious eyes of the others, Susan gathered the girls together.
The entire city was now under attack by monsters. Although they couldn't perform the Baptism ceremony for these girls yet, it was still possible to explain some basic rules and knowledge of the Saintess Religion to them. Plus, with more and more refugees entering the church, organizing them could help maintain order.
Seeing the eager expressions of the girls, Susan's mood was also very good.
Although she had only recruited a dozen or so believers for Holy Lord-sama now, once this disaster passed, their sisters would surely grow tenfold or even a hundredfold...
…
Under Susan's organization, the newly recruited fifteen girls, along with the original dozen or so faithful girls in the church, kept order inside the church and provided some water and food for the refugees to rest on the spot.
Outside, various explosions and the roar of the monsters were incessant, and from time to time, other survivors also sought refuge in the church.
"Incoming! The monsters are coming!"
"Help us, save us!"
"Ah!"
A sudden commotion outside the main hall made Susan, who was tending to some of the wounded, frown.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"Master Susan, more and more monsters are gathering outside. Other survivors can't get into the church. Just now, some survivors were attacked by monsters outside, and the people inside the church are very worried," A believer girl who had rushed in from outside quickly reported to Susan.
"I will go out and take a look," Susan said after a moment of thought, and then went outside with several other believers.
Seeing the situation outside the church, even Susan couldn't help but look solemn. There were already dozens of monsters and evil dragons gathered outside the entire church.
These monsters and evil dragons were blocking the other survivors who came to seek shelter and were constantly attacking the church's barrier.
This couldn't go on. Even though the church's barrier was very strong and could easily block those monsters, the survivors outside couldn't get in, and the people inside became more and more restless and frightened.
People could do anything out of fear. If the refugees inside the church were scared into rioting, it would be disastrous.
Those monsters outside had to be eliminated!
Thinking it over, Susan spoke up:
"Everyone, please stand back a little. I'm going to use the power given to me by the Holy Lord Sama to eliminate those monsters.
The refugees were puzzled, but the other devotee girls were eager to see the scene.
Is Master Susan finally going to use the power given to her by Holy Lord Sama!
The devotees drew a line, and the refugees inside the church gradually retreated, clearing an area for Susan.
Then, under everyone's eyes, Susan placed her hands on her chest, closed her eyes, and assumed a praying posture.
"Holy Lord Sama, please give me strength."
The girl prayed silently in her heart and then activated the power that Holy Lord Sama had left in her.
The magical tattoos on the back of her hands emitted a blinding light, and a huge shadow unfolded beneath Susan's feet, from which giant demonic beasts emerged, roaring as they broke free from the darkness.
"Mon... Monsters, more monsters have appeared!"
"Run! Run!"
Seeing the demonic beasts emerging from the darkness, all the refugees were almost scared to death. It was unclear who was shouting, but then everyone panicked and scattered in all directions.
"Everyone, please don't be afraid. These are not monsters, but god beasts summoned by Master Susan. They are the power given to her by the Holy Lord Sama."
The faithful girls shouted loudly, trying to calm the refugees, but the panicked crowd, already scared to death, couldn't listen to reason. They only knew how to flee in panic.
Some people who accidentally fell to the ground were trampled and cried out in pain. Some who were pushed into the corner of the wall were hit and bloodied.
Some panicked people even ran through the barrier of the church and out, only to be torn to pieces by the excited evil dragons and monsters outside.
Seeing those people running around like headless flies, the faithful girls couldn't help but feel annoyed. They had done all they could. Let these people do whatever they want!
The chaos continued for a while, but when everyone saw the fate of those who had fled outside, they all became frightened. No one dared to run out again, and the panicked rioters gradually calmed down.
Of course, the main reason was that they also realized that the demonic beasts that Susan had summoned did not attack them, but obediently stayed around Susan.
"Y-Yukiko San, what's wrong with those monsters?"
A bold middle-aged man cautiously approached and asked a devout girl named Yukiko.
"They are God Beasts, not monsters!"
"Just now, didn't I tell you? Those are the powers given to Master Susan by the Holy Lord Sama, allowing her to summon god beasts to protect us," Yukiko corrected the middle-aged man with a calm tone.
"So they are all god beasts..." The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and the others also showed embarrassed expressions.
They had indeed been scared to death by those monsters outside. Jumping at shadows like a bunch of clowns.
Just because of their riot, several people were trampled or crushed to death, and over a dozen who ran outside were killed by the monsters.
But at that moment, everyone was just relieved to be alive. As for those who died...
They just consider them lucky!
On the other side, Susan stopped summoning demonic beasts after summoning a hundred of them at once.
It was the first time she had used the power given to her by the Holy Lord Sama, and Susan's face was pale with a slight wheezing.
But the girls were extremely excited at that moment!
"Great God Beasts, please eliminate our enemies for us."
Without hesitation, Susan spoke.
Upon receiving Susan's command, all the demonic beasts roared and then rushed out of the church barrier to fight the evil dragons and monsters outside.
Each Demonic Beast summoned by Susan possessed the strength of at least a Middle-Class Devil or even a high-class Devil.
They were fierce and powerful and they immediately forced the evil dragons and monsters that were unbeatable to ordinary people to retreat one by one, and they all eventually fell under the attacks of the demonic beasts.
The refugees hiding in the church were also excited and cheered loudly one after the other. For them, this was nothing less than a miraculous event.
In just ten minutes, all the evil dragons and monsters outside the church were gone. Although some demonic beasts were lost, it was still within an acceptable range.
