Chapter 236: 236 Dark Church's Symbol

Lith and the others were out of the obelisk after the war had ended. The trio had learnt a lot of things there and it was a fruitful opportunity for them to experience this.

They were now touring various different monuments. They were now actually touring Espat and sightseeing after being done learning. They spent the rest of the day sightseeing and went back to Lenz Tower, had their dinner and slept.

The next day.

So where are we going today, teacher? Dennis rubbed his hair with a towel and asked. He had just come out of shower and his hair was wet.

Different tourist spots we missed yesterday. Emilia said calmly.

Dennis nodded his head in understanding.

The four then had breakfast together and left to tour once again. This time they were sightseeing at various different places of worship such as shrines, temples, and churches.

Half of their day was spent looking at temples and shrines and now it was time to see the churches.

Their first visit was to the Dark Church. They were standing in front of it and were admiring its aesthetics. The church looked like it was taken out from the Victorian era of Earth to Lith.

There are a lot of dark churches all around the world. They worship the Dark element and also the seven sins and the Supreme Rank of the demons. The worshippers think of her as the goddess of the Dark element. Its not just the Dark Church, the Destruction and Death churches also worship the same people. Emilia explained a bit about the Dark Church to Lith.

Lith nodded his head. He looked at Emilia and asked, so teacher, if theres such a thing for these churches, the Light Church would have the worshippers worshiping the King of Angels and the Angel Kings right?

Emilia nodded her head. Thats right. Its the same. But the Demons have three different types of churches whereas the Angels only have twothe Light and Life churches.

Lith nodded once again in understanding. But soon, bells rang in his mind and he realized something. His teacher, Emilia, was probably an Angel King too. He knew that she was an Emperor Rank and all Angel Kings were of this rank among the Angel race.

He wondered whether there would be people worshipping her or not in the Light and Life churches. He decided to test it out later when they visited those churches.

Oh, by the way, teacher, are the Light and the Dark churches at odds with each other? Lith asked, a bit curious.

In his previous life, the novels he had read, all had mentions about the light and dark churches being archenemies and that they hated each other to the bone. He wanted to know whether that was true or not, now that he was here in this world where they actually existed.

Yes and no. Its a controversial topic but to tell you in short, they do hate each other a lot but not to the point of going to war. Emilia said with a smile.

What was this answer? Why is it so confusing? Lith couldnt understand what she had said at all.

I dont understand what you just said. Can you elaborate please? Lith asked.

Emilia smiled and ruffled his hair. Once you are out of the academy and out adventuring in the world, youll understand my answer.

Lith nodded and he along with the other two went inside the Dark Church to see what was present there.

As they entered inside, they saw an aesthetically pleasing interior. There were bright and colourful large windows in the dark environment of the church. There were two columns where many rows of seats were present.

At the end of the church was a large black cross around which there were seven beasts and a pair of black wings attached to it from behind. The seven beasts represented the seven sins and the wings represented Lucifer. Lith knew this much as it was general knowledge.

However, he and Emilia, or as a matter of fact, the entire world, except for a few individuals, had no idea why there was a cross present in the Dark Church. Crosses were a symbol of the Light and Life Churches as they represented hope, love, faith, finality, peace, and prosperity. They shouldnt be present in the dark churches as these churches were the exact opposites. But, they were there.

The reason for that was Lucifer.

The Dark, Death, and Destruction churches had different symbols before Lucifer was a Supreme Rank. Those symbols didnt represent any person and were simply there so that people can have something to worship to.

Lucifer was the first Supreme Rank of the Demon race and if a person of such rank isnt present, faith could not be sent out to anyone else of their race. Worshipping the symbols without the presence of a Supreme Rank was the same as worshipping a rock.

So, when Lucifer became the Supreme Rank, Alex was the one who asked her to come up with a symbol that people could worship. She didnt answer him right away as she wanted to relax. She didnt even want to see him either, since it was due to this hateful old man that she had to cultivate diligently for a lot of years.

Lucifer thus shut herself in her castle and didnt see the old man for many years. She became a NEET at this time and relaxed in her castle. Alex, however, didnt leave her alone as he knew that getting faith from the worshippers was very important. He kept pestering her even though she was locked in her own castle.

Finally, Lucifer gave up one day and decided to give Alex the answer for the symbol. Alex told her what all things are needed to be taken into consideration when making a symbol. Like the symbol should have something that will represent the Emperor Ranks of her race and something to represent her own self.

Lucifer was too lazy to think too much and so she decided to copy her grandfather. She chose a cross as a base but made it black in color. She then took the magical beasts present in the family insignia of the Emperor Ranks of her race and had it revolve around the cross. Lastly, to represent her own self, she had black wings attached to the back of the cross. These wings looked exactly like her own.

Alex at that time, asked her why she chose a cross but she didnt answer him and shut herself back in her castle. His curiosity was killed by his own granddaughter but since he had a lot of work to do, he didnt dwell much on it and worked to replace the old symbol of the dark churches to the new ones that Lucifer made.

After it was done, the faith of the worshippers was properly channeled to Lucifer and this had been continuing till the present times.

Nobody had any idea as to why the cross was present but nobody dared to question it either. The dark and the light church were always bickering with each other regarding who the cross actually belonged to and this debate was still going on.

Lith walked close to the big cross and so did Ralph, Dennis, and Emilia. No one was restricted from entering the churches, be it angels or anyone else. Even in the Light Church, demons werent restricted.

There was discrimination, yes, but nobody would do or say anything to a person in the church. They could do it outside but not inside. Emilia was thus allowed to be inside the church even though she was an angel.

When the four reached the cross, everyone could see the various types of beast on the cross. Dennis pointed towards a rabbit with wings and horns and asked Ralph with a smile, hey, that represents you right?

Lith looked at Ralph and waited for his response. He too was curious like Dennis. Emilia simply let them talk among each other and walked towards the seats present and sat on one of them.

Ralph shook his head and said calmly, that doesnt represent me. It represents my mother.

Oh. So uhh What if you say something to the insignia? Will your mother be able to hear it? Dennis asked curiously.

Ralph glared at him when he heard that. Why does this guy not mind his own business? And where does he get such stupid ideas from?

Lith looked at Ralph curiously too. Ralph looked at Lith and then finally said, why do you wanna know this?

Oh well, just curious. Lith said with a smile.

Ralph then turned to Dennis and he in return cleared his throat and said, ahem. For educational purposes. Nothing else.

Ralph stared at him. It looked very suspicious. Had he not known Dennis better, he wouldve already told him the answer. He was very wary of Dennis and Lith as these two had pranked him many times in the past and he was thinking that they were up to something now too.

Oi, oi, cmon tell us. Do we look like we would harm you or anything? Dennis hit his elbow to Ralph lightly and said.

Yes. Ralph replied without hesitation.

Such lies. Anywho, tell me, will your mother be able to hear us if we say something to the insignia here? Dennis asked again.

Ralph sighed and gave up. He knew Dennis would keep pestering him until he gave him an answer. Yes, she will be able to hear it.

Lith and Dennis smiled knowing it and looked at each other and nodded. They dashed towards the cross and when a few centimetres away from the rabbit, they said,

Aunt, Ralph does drugs!
