Saintess? Not Anymore! I'd Rather be a Destroyer-Chapter 320 - 257: Quartz

"Is it that late already?" Aurianna looked shocked. She didn’t know that the tour was as long as it was. When they started she was sure it was high noon or early afternoon at most.

[ Want to finally unlock a new skill?] The system asked.

’Yes,’ Aurianna nodded.

[ You’ve unlocked skill first servants Quarts! They are tiny little beings that follow your every command, you’ll get more powerful ones in the future.]

"Well then, due to the time you all can explore the rest by yourself. These little Quartz shall help you," Aurianna said as she condensed a bright white light in her hands which then sprouted tiny humanoid looking beings, not bigger than a person’s palm. They were essentially tiny humans, the main difference being their size and having white crystal-like bodies with white crystal-like bodies. The other big difference was their gender being undefinable since they had no private parts.

There were well over a thousand Quartz currently, all sprouting out of the white light before they dispersed.

They all went in separate directions, curious about the new area around them. They roamed around exploring all the various rooms and scenery in the church, one even climbed on Aurianna’s shoulder, rubbing its face on Aurianna’s chin affectionately.

"Every Gemaris has the ability to create a subclass, but since you aren’t strong enough you can only create a Quartz. In the future, you could create an Antarcticite and a Goshenite. Those two have the strongest combat capabilities. I’m sure the system already told you a bit of thus," Eva stated

"Yes it did," Aurianna answered.

After she finished her explanation she smiled, "What level must I be in order to make those other two?" Aurianna asked.

"Probably level twenty thousand," She answered casually.

".....Eva. Don’t give me such hopes and ruin it in a flash." Aurianna cried, clenching her chest.

At this point, Aurianna and the others were in the main hall once more. All were looking at her for guidance on what they’d be doing next.

"So, right now you all need to get some rest. Tomorrow you’ll be assigned your ranks and roles, so for now, everyone is sleeping in the rank 1 building," Aurianna motioned with her hands in an ushering way.

"Aurianna I know the building is big but would there be enough room for everyone?" Hotron asked. There were a lot of people and the church rank 1 building didn’t seem to be too big on first look.

"Yes they will, the rooms are much bigger than it looks on the outside," Aurianna answered.

"How? Through spatial magic?" Jude asked curiously.

"Yes."

"The White Gemaris goddess is truly generous," Dielle praised.

"Quartz could you please show everyone the way to the rank 1 building and for those who want to explore, do guide them," Aurianna asked as the Quartz who smiled happily and nodded, willing to help their master.

Aurianna smiled at them as she transferred the information to them through mind communication before they left.

Aurianna then disappeared before she reappeared in a huge room that had a beautiful bed which she immediately jumped on. The Quartz which was with her earlier stared at Aurianna, who was now snoring. She was completely tired out from the extremely eventful day. With a small waddle and a smiling face, the Quartz lay down to the sleeping Saintess.

And Aurianna had totally forgotten about a group of important people to her.

"Master, when I find you, you’re receiving a good beating," Boara grumbled as she stood next to Ostusi.

"Is the princess really findle?" Ostusi asked.

"Ofcourse she is and she forgot about us but I’m sure she’ll remember soon," Boara said.

In the rank 1 room, two children’s voices could be heard as they talked and giggled happily. One had rough brown skin and two long ears with a pair of green eyes, while the other had rough fair skin with a pair of green eyes and long ears.

The pair were sisters. It wasn’t clear based on their skin tone but they shared similar features.

The girls were currently in the bath, splashing water at each other as they laughed happily.

Meru, the brown-skinned elf, exhaled deeply, "I haven’t had a bath this peaceful in such a long time sister."

"Agreed sister, but I have a feeling our lives are going to be harder from here on out," Mash the fair-skinned elf replied, having a relaxed expression.

"Why do you say that?" Meru asked, tilting her head.

Mash’s relaxed expression shifted slightly, being replaced by a concerned one the more she thought about a good response.

There was silence for a brief moment before she responded, "My instincts are telling me that people like us who are desperate to survive would be placed through some harsh things. And after the tour that the Saintess showed, that training room might be that harsh thing."

"Hmm well your instincts have never been wrong before." Meru’s expression was slightly troubled, however once she noticed how bothered Mash looked she quickly stuffed her worries down. She smiled warmly at Mash, hugging her tightly, "Don’t worry. No matter what happens we’ll be together. I’ll always fight by your side."

Mash returned the hug, wrapping her arms around Meru, "Thanks. I love you sister."

"No problem. I love you too."

Once the morning sun started to pierce through the windows of the rooms in the rank 1 buildings, the Quartz appeared, flying around to wake up various people.

The Quartz would point towards the cupboard which the people opened to discover either a beautiful white dress that sparkled like a gem or a white top and trousers. The clothes were their new church outfits.

A table then appeared in the middle of the room with delicious pastries, fruits, and cool drinks upon it after a person finished bathing.

Some people who were bored strolled through the farm of the church that seemed to be more like a dense forest.

They would stop from time to time to listen to the music of the singing mushrooms or even rest under the shades of the beautiful trees while others ran around the church laughing as they enjoyed the beautiful sights they saw on their screens yesterday.

Aurianna woke up to a pinch on her cheek, seeing a little Quartz puffing its cheeks at Aurianna. Unlike first assumptions, Quartz still had a level of strength. Evident by the one who woke her by pulling Aurianna by her dress. She was walking groggily but thanks to the guidance of the Quartz, she arrived safely at a lavish bathroom, where her clothes were taken by another Quartz.

Once Aurianna was done bathing she ate her breakfast that appeared in her room, opening up a screen once she was on her bed. The screen was completely blank, being white with no specific image being shown.

"Jade and Dielle," Aurianna called out. The second she did so, the screen which was blank before, flashed, now showing an image of Jade. They were dressed in the new church’s clothing. Dielle stared at the screen in confusion while Jade was calm. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Yes, I’m talking to you both. You can see my face right?" Aurianna squinted at him.

"Yes, I can...." Dielle responded. He didn’t know what to say in this situation. From the sudden image of Aurianna being on a screen before him to her casualness with spying on him he was dumbfounded.

Jade was still calm.

’Do I not have privacy or something?’ Dielle thought to himself.

"So Jade, Dielle, in 30 minutes do bring me the former priests of Paige that are capable and hardworking. We shall meet in the council room."

There was a brief silence, "Alright. One thing though, I can’t easily find them with all these people," Dielle scratched his head.

"Ask the little Quartz beside you. He’ll show you how to find people with the screen," Aurianna stated.

"Aurianna you’re forgetting something important," Jade said.

"And what would that be?" Aurianna asked.

"Boara and the others," Jade said and Aurianna stared at him agape.

"Oh yeah," she said nervously as she scratched her head.

"Let’s allow the other’s to settle down a bit so that we can properly handle the people under Boara and Vatium," Aurianna stated.

"Alright then," Jade said before ending the call.

"Your church design is much better than I thought," Aurianna complimented, a grateful smile on her face.

Eva appeared out of thin air before her.

Eva shrugged, her face having smug plastered all over it, "Hahaha, such a small insignificant design. I could do better but you can’t afford it."

Aurianna shook her head and sighed, ’Humbleness would look good on her sometimes...’

Eva clapped her hands, "Well chop chop, you better get going,"

In the council room there sat 31 people across the long table, 19 men, 11 ladies, and 1 teenage girl whom everyone had their eyes on. The most notable seated at the table, at least to Aurianna, were Jade, Avriel, Jugi, Hadina, Yui, Deprixon and Dielle, who sat beside her on both sides.

"Thank you Dielle for gathering everyone here," Aurianna glanced toward him. He simply nodded in silence.

"Saintess, if I may ask what was the reason that you called for us?" Malik, a young brown-skinned woman with silky black hair and a pair of deep orange eyes asked. Her looks were average and she was more on the flat side in terms of body type.

Aurianna waved her hand dismissively, "Of course you could ask such a thing. I gathered you all so that you could ask important questions as well as discuss who would be the next leaders in this church."
