Chapter 798: Chapter 556 “Light” Saintess Shana’s Gift._2 Chapter 798: Chapter 556 “Light” Saintess Shana’s Gift._2 As for it itself, it felt a bit like a Bone Spur, and similarly came from female skeletal remains.

Colin, with his extensive experience, could even recognize at a glance that it should belong to the little finger of the left hand…

‘Is it the remains of Saintess Krixis again?’

The first thing that came to Colin’s mind was the saint from a century ago, but something didn’t seem quite right; this phalanx looked as if it came from an important figure but appeared new, not from the era of “Shang-Zhou,” but rather as if from last week.

And inexplicably, it felt familiar, as though he had seen it somewhere before…

No, more like he had seen it frequently?

Huh? Wait? Colin suddenly realized something, casting a glance toward Shana’s hand, and a bold guess formed in his mind.

Noticing Colin’s gaze, Shana subconsciously clenched her fist, hiding it beneath the long sleeves of her spacious Church robe, and unusually, both hands retreated behind her back…

At any other time, this gesture would have seemed quite natural, and unlikely to arouse any suspicion.

But now…

“Ah, yes, hmm hmm…”

Shana’s face reddened slightly, the leaping flames casting a reddish glow on her cheeks, as she stammered awkwardly for a moment, but she then composed herself and explained,

“Once before, during an incident, my entire arm got frostbitten. I concentrated all the contamination into one finger to save the hand, but the finger couldn’t be saved—it was frozen off…”

As she spoke, she seemed about to mimic Colin’s gesture of scratching the back of her head to ease an indefinable embarrassment, but seemed to reconsider, finding the gesture impolite to others, and dropped her raised hand back down before continuing,

“Logically, I should have completely destroyed it, but it seemed a bit… well, wasteful, so I purified it and kept it. I meant to use it myself as material, but there was never really an opportunity to do so…”

After listening to her explanation, Colin’s mouth fell open slightly, a complex sense of shock in his heart.

‘Uh, I feel like you should have been the ‘Flame Bearer’ Reservist. Maybe you’d have summoned the ‘Primordial Fire’ on the spot…’

Yet, in the face of the Saintess’s gift, he was deeply moved.

Not just for its effects, but also because of the immense risks associated with the act itself…

In the realm of the mystical, a single hair could lead to one’s demise.

How much more so for a phalanx that came from oneself, personally gifted without much alteration?

Especially the act of gifting itself.

In the realms of the mystical, the risk was exceptionally high…

And in the face of such a gift, Colin felt words of thanks were hardly enough.

Colin raised an eyebrow, “That thing that hurt you back then…”

“I’ve mostly taken care of it,” Shana began to say but then smiled and suggested, “How about we deal with it together when you return?”

That thing certainly hadn’t been completely eradicated; the place where it was located was an area of “descent” for missions, not easy to access, but if they really wanted to go, there was always a way…

“All right.” Colin nodded, etching the matter deeply in his mind.

“This domain, the believers here, and Little Red, or… many unrealized plans, they all need you…”

As Shana spoke, her figure grew larger, and huge pairs of pure white Wings of Light sprouted from behind her. They encompassed the entire hall as they flapped, before gathering to envelop Colin.

The sacred light feathers that filled the sky seemed to descend from heaven, with the sound of young children’s hymns echoing in the ear.

The soft yet icy feathers brushed his cheeks like hands…

In that moment, Colin almost seemed to see a majestic construction clad in white with generous adornments of gold, atop the clouds; at the end of a wide corridor, a blinding light as bright as the sun hung from the heavens.

And beneath this light, there seemed to be an indistinct glowing figure…

Yet, when Colin subconsciously tried to widen his eyes, urging flames within them, attempting to see the details of that figure, all the “illusion” had already dissipated.

Now he could only see Shana in front of him, dressed in a white and gold-edged outfit…

There seemed to be an overlap between the two, and yet not exactly.

And Colin felt as if he had just received a special blessing, suddenly filled with a sense of calm and tranquility.

He was snapped out of this indescribable sense of spiritual comfort when he heard Shana earnestly say,

“Anyway, I’m very strong, even stronger than you think. If you need help, remember, you must call for me!”

Colin blinked, the flames swirling in his eyes, and nodded, “I understand.”

Although he was still unclear about exactly what he had seen.

But he knew well that it must contain some of Shana’s greatest secrets as a Saint. Of course, much of it was also about making her capabilities known, so that if he needed her help, he wouldn’t hesitate.

The brief conversation came to an end.

There was still some time left, and Colin needed to gather the believers, to also give them some explanations.

Whether it was because of that “just in case,” or because he might not be able to return for a long time,

He felt he owed them an explanation…

Otherwise, Colin didn’t want to come back from Earth after clearing up an incident only to find that people here had started some sort of “God has abandoned us” scenario.

Oftentimes, conflicts arise from misunderstandings…

Colin had seen such things more than once or twice in other worlds.
