Sacred Knight (Rewrite)

"So, mister Elias, why have you been snooping inside our territory for months?" Esther asked, her star-like eyes glowing inside the dark chamber.

"Won't tell you, child. Get an adult so I can negotiate my release with them." Elias answered.

"Hoo, and why do you think you can leave, I can't remember telling you that you even have the option to leave?" Esther questioned with a creepy smile. It really pisses her off if someone calls her a child.

"You don't have a choice, I act on behalf of Mister Gausling. Either you let me free, or you will provoke the ire of Mister Gausling and that will be the cause of your death. You don't know who the true mastermind really is."

"Oh wow, I truly didn't think that fatty and his unholy friends of the Ambrosius Church would make a move so soon. Mind to tell me, if fatty lost some weight, after I stole his food?" Esther smirked.

"W-Wh-What?? You stole the food some months ago? And you even know that the Ambrosius Church is responsible for the situationin the Slum?? How -no, why the fuck are you not afraid and still act like you are not afraid??" Elias was baffled.

"Why should we be afraid if we have the backing of a real God? I thought you gathered Informations about us? And you don't even know that?" Esther was surprised.

"Naturally, I know that you believe in some new God, but that is all bollocks. Gods don't exist, or the Ambrosius Church would never be able to kill, rape and exploit innocent!" Elias became furious.

"Well, it looks like you have the same opinion as us. So why do you still work for them if you don't support what they do? But first, let me show a fellow comrade that we truly believe in an existing God." As Esther finished her sentence, she activated her condenser and the same szene unfolded itself that already convinced many people that Kami truly exists.

Esther closed her eyes, focusing her energy on the men's body. Soft white light emanates from the silver crescent in her hands as she channels the healing abilities.

As the sacred light intensifies, his frail form, caused by extensive malnutrition, began to regain strength.

Tears streamed down his face as he never thought he could feel this warmth again. He lost every hope to reunite with his wife and little girl long ago. But after witnessing how his frail body regained his strength, how his bones vanished beneath his skin, Elias could only cry. "Finally," he thought. Finally, there is hope, hope to reunite with his family and to get back at Old Man P. and the Ambrosius Church for what they did to him and all the innocent.

Elias fell to his knees and could only beg Esther and whoever God she is worshipping

"Please, Miss, please help me rescue my family. I only work for Mister Gausling because he is holding my family hostage! I will do anything for you! So please, I beg you!"

While Elias continued to beg Esther to help him, Kami, who had been watching the conversation the whole time, has been wondering since the moment Elias entered the Cathedral why a very faint, barely noticeable light surrounding him from the moment he entered the building.

As a last resort, without being able to find a plausible explanation even after many minutes, Kami tries to find something in his status.

"System, what's the difference between Sacred Knights and Holy Knights?"

*ding*

[Sacred knights possess unique powers or abilities granted by their deity or their association with sacred objects. They might wield divine weapons, possess healing capabilities, or have mystical defenses.

Holy knights, in contrast, may be characterized by their exceptional moral character, righteousness, and unwavering faith. They display extraordinary courage, display strong leadership qualities, or possess advanced combat skills.]

"I need to have him at all costs! A Knight with Magic! He's just like a Melee Battle Mage! He will dominate the battlefield for sure!", Kami thought and wanted to turn towards Esther, before remembering again that he is a real God! A God doesn't just have small talks with his believers. Even not with Esther who can see him. Gods don't interfere in the affairs of mortals, so neither should he!

He was so blinded by his newfound power and influence that he wanted to do everything himself, even tough he has a follower who can see sacred auras!

So, Kami chose to stay out of the trivial affairs of his believers and chose to trust in Esther's abilities.

Naturally, Esther already saw the faint golden light surrounding Elias and knew that he was special. She decided to recruit Elias first to buy herself time to figure out what's so special about him.

"You are lucky, my Lord ensures you that we will do everything to help you reunite with your family. In return, you will be eternally loyal towards him and will serve him as a knight of the God of Salvation! You will either fight in wars or secure our borders. Understood?"

Elias stood up and bowed to Esther

"Yes, your Holiness. I will be eternally loyal to the God of Salvation and will do anything you command me to do. Even if I have to kill someone."

"With all due respect, your holiness, how did you know that I was a spy sent by Mister Gausling?" Elias asked, because he still couldn't figure out, how they knew that he was a spy.

"You are truly hopeless. I hope you won't be as bad as a knight as you were a spy... Okay, listen:

First, do you really think that if you question everyone for 3 months about facts that even babies know in our territory, you will remain undetected? Second, every resident in our territory is a believer in our God and goes to the Cathedral to pray every week. And you? You came near it for the first time after 3 whole months! And third, as you may have already noticed, our Cathedral is truly sacred and connects us to our God. Our Holy Knights could easily sense that you share no connection with our Lord." Esther answered honestly.

"You opened my eyes, I was foolish, your holiness. I beg your pardon, " Elias bowed again.

"As long as you know"
