EPHS-CHAPTER 367 GRISELDA’S LAMENT (PART 2)

"It's all because of you!!!"

Filled with rage, Griselda summoned a blade of light and thrust it towards Tenraku.

It was all this person's fault. He had violated her body, he had tempted her into darkness and fallen, and if she killed him, she could finally find purification and release!

However, in the face of Griselda's fury and murderous intent, neither Tenraku nor Xenovia and the others seemed concerned. Griselda had already stopped before striking Tenraku.

The dignified and beautiful nun's chest heaved, her face contorted in pain and struggle, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Griselda, do you intend to kill your Gods…?" Tenraku gently caressed Griselda's face, wearing an expression of "heartbreak."

The sword of light slipped from Griselda's hand and fell to the ground. She covered her trembling lips and began to retreat.

"No… that's not it… I… I…" A powerful wave of guilt surged through her. She had actually considered murdering her Lord, murdering her Gods!

No, this person wasn't her Lord. He was a Devil!

No, he was her Lord!

Two entirely opposing wills clashed fiercely in her mind, and then…

Griselda completely lost her composure!

"Ah!!!"

She fell to her knees, clutching her head, and let out a loud wail of despair.

"Griselda…"

Seeing Griselda in such agony, Xenovia wanted to go to her, but she was stopped by a single glance from Tenraku.

Griselda was in a crucial moment of transformation now, and they couldn't afford to be lenient and undo all the progress.

The room echoed with the painful wails of the noble nun. Under normal circumstances, the clergy and nuns outside would have already noticed something amiss. However, an invisible barrier enveloped the room, ensuring that only Tenraku and the girls inside could hear.

The lamentation continued for a long time. It wasn't until Griselda's throat was nearly hoarse that Tenraku stood before her and spoke again.

"Griselda, you're in pain, and you're lost. I know, I know it all."

"You don't need to blame yourself for what just happened. No matter what you've done, I'll forgive you."

Caressing Griselda's cheek, Tenraku spoke gently. Gradually, Griselda's turbulent heart began to calm.

Holy Lord-sama was so merciful, yet she was so sinful!

With a slight smile, Tenraku continued,

"Griselda, you don't need to suffer, and you don't need to be lost."

"The great Lord has passed away, and I am the inheritor of his will. You haven't betrayed the Lord, you haven't betrayed Gabriel. You've simply found the true new Lord."

"You've always agreed, haven't you? You've agreed with my teachings, you've agreed with my ideals."

"Open your heart, liberate your true self, believe in me, follow me, serve me, and together, let's build the world of our ideals…"

Tenraku patiently instructed Griselda in a gentle and kind tone, and it was as if he was teaching a child.

As fervent believers of Tenraku, Asia and Xenovia were deeply moved, listening attentively to the teachings of their Lord, their faces filled with pure devotion.

However, unlike Asia and Xenovia, Irina turned her head away, unable to bear witness.

That scoundrel Tenraku, always deceiving people!

Well, Tenraku wasn't simply deceiving. Griselda was now on the brink of transformation, and Tenraku was igniting the final spark, giving her a reason to abandon resistance and fall completely.

Furthermore, to enhance the effect, Tenraku activated the Angelic Language, influencing Griselda's mind and will, imbuing his voice with an inexplicable magical power that was utterly convincing.

This Sacred Gear, which could manipulate the human mind, was highly valued by Tenraku and had been carefully developed. With his current power, if Tenraku wished, he could turn an ordinary person into his devoted servant and puppet with just a glance.

While exorcists as resolute and powerful as Griselda were not easy to control, after having the "Seed of Belief" planted within her and with it germinating and brewing for so long, Griselda's spirit had already been eroded and bound, teetering on the edge of collapse.

At this moment, Tenraku was merely guiding. The last line of defense in the heart of this noble nun had also crumbled…

"Holy Lord-sama…"

Griselda gazed at Tenraku with a dazed expression, the sense of sin in her heart gradually dissipating, replaced by an unprecedented warmth and tranquility.

Yes, she hadn't betrayed her Lord, nor had she betrayed Gabriel-sama. The man before her was the new Lord inheriting the will of her original Lord. Believing in him and following him posed no problem at all.

Looking up at Tenraku, Griselda's eyes gradually filled with the same fervor and devotion as Asia and Xenovia.

Tenraku naturally took in everything, a satisfied smile tugging at his lips. Another devotee was added to his ranks!

The delicious fruit had ripened completely, and now it was time for the harvest…

Lifting Griselda horizontally, Tenraku placed her on the bed. Although this woman had fallen, it was still crucial for both body and soul to be in harmony. He not only needed her soul to believe in him, but he also needed her body to submit to him!

Moreover, this nun, known as the Queen of Hearts, was also an exceedingly rare beauty…

"Griselda, offer everything of yours to me."

With great care, Tenraku slowly removed each piece of clothing from Griselda's body. The nun's body, flawless as jade, was soon exposed before Tenraku's eyes.

"Holy Lord-sama, I… I…"

Covering her body, Griselda's face blushed with a touch of allure. Although she was deeply moved and joyful to be able to offer everything to her Lord, experiencing such a thing for the first time still made her feel somewhat shy.

However, suddenly…

"No!!!"

As if awakened from a dream, Griselda jolted back to reality!

But waking up now was meaningless. Ah!

"HāHāHā!!!"

With a burst of maniacal laughter, Tenraku transformed into a wolf and pounced!

…

"Nun Griselda, are you there? It's Gerome." Outside Griselda's room, the young clergyman Gerome knocked on the door.

Having inquired about Nun Griselda's situation with the members of the church, they were all equally puzzled. They only knew that Nun Griselda had been confessing and praying in front of the Lord lately, often saying that her sins were too deep.

How could a living saint like Nun Griselda be deeply sinful? There must be something they didn't know about. Frustrated, Gerome ultimately decided to personally ask Nun Griselda.

However…

"Nun Griselda? Nun Griselda?"

Gerome knocked again, but there was still no response from inside the room.

It seemed like there were some strange sounds coming from the room, but upon closer listening, it seemed like there was nothing. Gerome couldn't help but feel puzzled. Could it be that Nun Griselda had already gone to rest?

Perhaps he was a bit too impatient. Disturbing Nun Griselda's rest wouldn't be polite. After some thought, Gerome ultimately chose to leave and planned to visit again early the next morning.

Meanwhile, inside the room…

"Wū wū!!! Wū wū wū!!!"

With wide eyes, Griselda knelt on the bed, struggling desperately.

Tenraku embraced the nun's waist from behind, thrusting forcefully into her body again and again. Xenovia tightly covered the nun's lips, ensuring that her sounds wouldn't be heard by anyone outside.

Such a fallen and wicked scene was unfolding in the sacred church. The young clergyman would perhaps never know. He had made such a foolish decision to leave…
