Chapter 699 Congregation of the Divine Senses! Part 6

The sudden turn of positions in her battle today had pissed Alina enough already, to the point that she’s regretting not preparing more against her opponents.

But even if she’s disheartened with what was happening now, Alina did not lose herself to panic.

"My opponents right now might be powerful... but I can definitely say that the power that they display is unnatural. And I can also sense that their power... has been augmented by an outside force."

"If that was the case, then there must be something that is making my opponents abnormally strong today! That should be the reason why they look stronger now!"

"But what could be making them stronger?"

As she dodged another elbow from Beatrice, Alina narrowed her eyes as she felt more and more convinced about her conclusion.

Something g must be indeed augmenting the power of Beatrice and her allies, and that something is the main reason why Alina and her own allies are having difficulties fighting today.

As for what this ’something’ could be, Alina realized that a simple observation won’t easily detect it.

"....I have been saving the use of this technique for later, but since I am in a pinch right now, I have no choice but to use this technique. Hmph, this better be worth it..."

Earlier, Alina said that she’s not willing to use any extra abilities in this fight in order to conserve energy, but the way that her fight unfolded made her realize that she cannot just let things stay this way.

If Alina wants to win, she has to spend much more than what she is willing to.

And if that requires Alina to reveal some of her secret abilities, she won’t hesitate to do it!

"Tsk, I am hoping to use this ability when I meet Alex, but it looks like I have to use it here. Well, this could be not bad, as I could use this opportunity to test out my new ability..."

Before Beatrice could send another punch coming her way, Alina suddenly took a deep breath as she closed her eyes. Power then rippled inside her body as countless light particles surged towards her closed eyes, soaking it up with golden colors that filled her eye sockets.

Now, Alina appeared to be a person with lanterns on her eyes, whose serene face and calm disposition made her look like a peaceful creature. Those who saw her glowing eye sockets felt peace, with the glow seemingly having the power to placate anyone who saw them.

"Hom~" The sight of these eye sockets and their calming effect had somewhat stalled the attacking Beatrice, but it did not deter her from fighting. Instead, this woman hastened her attacks, as she seemed to think that Alina’s act of closing her eyes made her more vulnerable.

"Swish!" Alina seemed to be actually vulnerable, as she appeared to have not noticed the incoming punch sent by Beatrice. She just stood still in her place with her glowing eye sockets, with the punch about to crash on her temple already.

But before the punch could actually touch her skin, Alina suddenly opened her eyes, an action which further complicated the already chaotic battle.

[ALL-SEEING EYES: EYE OF PRYING!]

"Hom!" Alina’s eyes let out two beams of gentle and all-encompassing light beams, both which quickly shot forward in speeds that normal beings found hard to comprehend. It was as if two divine beings as fast as light appeared, and nothing seemed to have the ability to outrun them.

This speed allowed the light beams to pass through the body of the nearby Beatrice, who wanted to dodge them but was unable to because of her awkward position.

These light beams did not contain any offensive or even defensive properties at all, but after they passed through Beatrice, the said woman stiffened as if she had felt something intrusive surging inside her body.

This reaction was caught by Alina, who only smiled as she knew that her activated ability had just worked.

"Now let’s see what could have been secretly powering you up right now... Is it a special artifact or could it be another hidden ally that I do not know? This is interesting...."

_______________________

In terms of detection of secrets, illusions, and hidden abilities, Alina’s All-Seeing Eyes are well-suited for this kind of tasks.

However, there are some things that even ALina’s All-Seeing Eyes could not detect. Such things can be related to extremely powerful creatures, whose power allows them to keep these things hidden, even from someone like Alina.

Some of these ’undetectable’ things might just have traits that keeps them hidden well, even under the penetrative ability of her All-Seeing Eyes.

These ’undetectable’ things are rare, and Alina was sure that she’s still powerful enough to deal with most of them given her current level of power. But she also knew that there might come a day when these ’undetectable’ things will be of danger to her.

Because of that, Alina had also spent her days formulating an ability that will improve the observation power of her All-Seeing Eyes.

This proved to be almost impossible to Alina before, as her eyes are already a special-type of object, one that is hard to improve already.

It was only when Alina had stayed here in the Church of Wisdom that she found a way to improve her All-Seeing Eyes, and the result of that was the ability that she had just unleashed now.

"By combining the power of the Church of Wisdom’s Eye of Wisdom with my Chronomancy and my All-Seeing Eyes, I was able to create an ability that only my All-Seeing Eyes can use...."

"This ability allows my eyes to summon the power of Knowledge and Time to create an omniscient beam of light that will reveal everything on its path, even the things that are hidden by powerful existences!"

"This ability is called the Eyes of Prying, and with this, I can discover anything as long as I have enough Time Essence and faith from the worshippers of the Church of Wisdom!"

Just like what Alina thought right now, her newest ability, the Eyes of Prying, is an ability that utilizes the power of her All-Seeing Eyes combined with her Time Magic and the power of the Church of Wisdom to discover things that are not meant to be discovered.

Anything can be discovered by this new ability, which makes it an extremely useful technique especially against opponents like Beatrice who are using some undetectable objects for their advantage.

But even with this usefulness, this ability also has some disadvantages that Alina could not avoid.

One, there is a lot of energy that has to be expended to use this ability. One use is almost enough to drain most of the Faith Energy that Alina gathered from the Church of Wisdom, so using it has to be regulated.

Also, pain and temporary blindness will affect Alina after using this ability, as such it is something that she cannot use all the time.

"Argh!"

These side effects were being experienced by Alina already, as she was clutching both of her eyes while hissing in agony. Her eyes also bled golden blood as her body trembled, with the temporary blindness starting to take over too.

"Argh!" This pain made her want to wail and just claw her eyes out, and she could have done it if it were not for her fight right now.

"Argh!"

With this kind of terrible pain wracking her body, Alina should be feeling extremely pissed. But that’s not what had happened, as Alina was actually full of satisfaction at this point.

After all, Alina had just discovered what she had wanted to see in the first place.

_____________________

With her Eyes of Prying, Alina detected three invisible, angel-like beings floating above the heads of Beatrice and her allies.

Each of these invisible angels had their eyes closed and their hands clasped together as if they were in a prayer, with their skins and wings releasing golden dust particles that were sent directly towards Beatrice and her allies.

These golden dust particles might look only like decorations, but once they had touched Beatrice and the other two, these particles turned into extremely dense streams of golden energy which was then absorbed into their bodies.

Once absorbed, these streams of golden energy began to directly improve the bodies of Beatrice and the others, with aspects such as healing, speed, power, and also mental states all raised to higher levels.

"...."

This effect of the golden energy seemed to be temporary, as it only lasted for a few seconds before the improved states went back to normal again.

But because the invisible angels did not stop producing golden particles from their bodies, the golden energy just continued to be absorbed by Beatrice and her allies, resulting on them having an improved state that lasted for a much longer time...

"...." Upon seeing these angels, Alina resisted the urge to curse out as she now realized the orchestrator of this whole thing. She also became angry at herself, as she realized that even without her All-Seeing Eyes, the ones who assisted Beatrice should have been obvious already.

"Hoh... so it is the Holy Order Church that is boosting my enemies today. Why did I not even think of that? Of course it will be this church that will support them. After all, this Beatrice and her Traveler chose the Holy Order Church as their ally..."

With just one look at the invisible angels, Alina had already recognized them, and it was enough to make her scoff silently.

The angels floating behind Beatrice and her allies looked extremely similar to the Holy Order Angel that Alina had met before. The only difference was that these angels had lesser amount of wings compared to the one that Alina met, but aside from that, their appearances and auras were all similar.

With that similarity, it plainly what these angels were and why they were here. These angels from the Holy Order Realm, and they are present this place in order to assist Beatrice, who was the ally of the Holy Order Church...

This discovery made Alina both feel relieved and frustrated to herself. She was frustrated, as she knew that she could have deduced this without even using her All-Seeing Eyes. She was also relieved, as this discovery now gave Alina a method that she can use in order to defeat her foes.

"Sigh, since I used my new ability already, I can’t complain about it anymore. I already discovered why my enemies are stronger today, so I must focus on that."

"Yes, I must focus on them right now, especially those angels..."

"Hehehe, since these angels were boosting my enemies, then the only way to weaken my enemies is by removing these angels."

"If it were earlier, I will not have any idea on how to do this, since I can’t see these angels. But now that I can see them and the way that they move, I am sure that I can expel them!"

"I just had to use the power of the Church of Wisdom, which is the strongest in this area!"

Since her opponents had the courage to use the power of their allied religion, then Alina had no qualms on using the power of her allied religion too.

In fact, Alina was itching to have an excuse to use this power, and now that she had one, she’s definitely using it.
