Chương 1059: Corrupted Maiden

Nyla's mouth opened in a soundless scream as more of her body began to vanish, but the expression on her face was strange, it was filled with happiness and pleasure. Even in the face of her incoming destruction, she had never felt so alive.

A Temple Maiden was expected to become the perfect vessel of the Wills of the Ascendants. They were to serve as watchers,  guardians, and witnesses, and they were never to falter in their duties. It was written into their Creed.

They could never know love or have a family, their duty was the first and the most paramount aspect of their existence, they could only find solace in the end when their task was complete, for they carried within them the legacy and the burden of all Temple Maiden that had come before them.

On whatever day in the future that this endless battle ended, either in favor of Calamity or Ascendancy, then a Temple Maiden would be there as a witness.
