Episode 57
“…I will turn, really.”
Ryan scratched his head and looked at the situation unfolding in front of him.
shit.
I don’t know why on earth this kind of thing doesn’t stop when it comes to that guy.
It was the same this time too.
Obviously, he was going to wait until Mikhail arrived without any major incidents.
Cassandra had warned that something was going to happen, but I didn’t think it would happen right away.
‘Huh, how long has it been since he’s been away?’
It was really sudden.
A paladin came to the 1 temple they were in and found them right away.
No, to be precise, what he found was Cassandra, a prophetess.
-Where is the Prophet? I would like to see him
It wasn’t anything special.
In fact, it was not unusual for a person from the Church to seek a prophet.
However, Helen’s reaction was very intense.
-dare.
The moment he saw the paladin, Helen roughly drew her sword.
Clear hostility without even hesitation.
…And now this situation.
“How dare you do that!”
Helen gnashed her teeth and aimed her sword.
The paladin’s expression as she aimed her sword was very calm.
Armor engraved with numerous castle gates.
The divine power that raged throughout her body was also much stronger than hers.
Helen wasn’t too weak either, but that paladin far surpassed him.
“Let’s cool down first.”
With that, he stretched out his hand toward Helen.
then that moment.
“Keugh?!”
Helen’s knees were forced to bend.
She lifted her head with difficulty, with trembling eyes.
The paladin spoke in an emotionless voice.
“You know Sir Helen. It is meaningless.”
“meaning…nothing?”
haha.
She stumbled with a hollow laugh and barely got herself up.
“What is meaningless? You bring them in as you please, change them as you please… …!”
“It was God’s will.”
The paladin took a step closer to her without drawing his sword.
“The fact that the Prophet has returned doesn’t mean he understood that the will of the Church was right.”
“No no!”
Helen shouted and stood up with her sword.
“I’m here to not get in the way of that damn brother! You use Casa as you please and throw it away as you please… …!”
“I didn’t give up.”
Without expressing any emotion, he continued.
“The Prophet is a member of the Church. Of course, this is where he will be. rather.”
thud!
second step.
The advance of the paladin this time was qualitatively different from the previous one.
The floor I stepped on went into a hollow, and the momentum rose like an explosion around that place.
“Isn’t it wonderful to be wrong?”
“her.”
Ryan’s eyes widened as he watched.
This one was different.
An enormous force was about to be applied to her, as if it were going to put pressure on Helen for sure.
‘I can’t go on like this.’
He stepped forward right away.
I don’t know.
In the first place, he had no connection with the church, nor was he interested.
But anyway, isn’t it a colleague who has been with me so far?
“stop.”
With those words, Lian stepped forward and pushed back the paladin’s momentum.
“you…I could see Helen
‘s quivering eyes between the helmets as if they were passing by.
Ryan looked ahead with hard eyes.
The paladin frowned when he saw Lian suddenly intervened.
“Get out of the way.”
“That won’t work.”
“…Hmm, this is true.”
thud!
third step.
As if trying to put pressure on Lian, the paladin took a step forward with unwavering eyes.
Lian wasn’t standing still either.
He, too, took a step forward.
Momentum and momentum collided.
But the result was different from just before.
It was half a step, but rather the paladin side was pushed.
“…hmm?”
“Because they are colleagues. I have a fondness for coming here with you, but if you just watch from behind, Paslov loses face.”
“Paslov…Ah yes. Empire prospect. I know. There is a high possibility that he will take over the position of the Sword Saint in the future.”
Then he nodded as if he understood and drew his sword.
When the pure white sword body was revealed, Lian reflexively shouted.
“White Knight Habei!”
“You know.”
Looking at Lian with calm eyes, he aimed his sword.
White Knight Harvey.
A skilled person who has reached the advanced level of Expert, and the vice-captain of the Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom.
He was known to have the strongest military force in the kingdom, except for the head of the Order of the Holy Knights, known as the Master.
“I will say it again. Please get out of the way.”
“I said no.”
Lian also raised his sword without erasing his sense of admiration.
He himself was also curious.
How strong have you become during that time?
existence in a dream.
In the process of confronting him to death, Lian felt his skills rise faster than ever.
‘Honestly, all the beings I’ve encountered so far are monsters.’
The three coefficients or the Master.
Weren’t they opponents who are usually difficult to see once in a lifetime?
That’s why I didn’t know if I was strong.
But I guess I can figure it out if it’s interest.
The vice-captain of the Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom.
How far can one’s sword go against such an existence?
Didn’t he justify the cause of protecting his comrades just in time?
‘I heard that the prophetess doesn’t particularly have good feelings toward the church.’
It’s different from before.
Originally, I would have thought it was too soon, but now I think I can somehow reach it.
‘Compared to the absurd things he dealt with.’
Rather, I think it’s not a big deal.
At that moment, Harvey moved.
Tuuk.
With the sound of short footsteps, his new model arrived right in front of him in an instant.
However, Lian blocked it so easily as if he expected it.
Then, he immediately applied strength to one foot that was loaded with weight and immediately struck Habei’s sword.
A piercing sound exploded at the boundary.
A clash between aura and aura.
Harvey and Lian moved before they could even get into their stance.
Quaang! Quaang! Kwaaang!
Hundreds of battles went back and forth between the two until the floating stone hit the ground.
without pushing either side.
The tips of each other’s swords trembled and aimed at the other.
And the moment when an unknown number of workshops were about to continue.
“Please stop it.”
A voice interrupted the two.
Harvey’s gaze turned to it.
Cassandra was looking at them.
prophet.
“…Miss Cassandra.”
“Even if you’re the vice-captain of the Order of the Holy Knights, you have to keep the case. An impolite visit like this.”
At those words, Harvey’s shoulders twitched for a moment.
Harvey, who was watching her with cold eyes, dropped the sword that was raised to his waist.
“I apologize for that. However, as Cassandra-sama knows, the existence of the Prophet… …“
I have no intention of going to Archbishop Killian, Lord Harvey.”
After Harvey had stopped talking, Cassandra answered firmly.
“He refused to understand the prophecies I had been given. As you know, it’s not just about refusing… …“
The Archbishop regrets what happened then. It will definitely be different this time, so let’s go together.”
“I refuse.”
She shook her head and looked around. There is no one around except for themselves.
It was probably all exported in that short period of time.
‘The author must be sympathetic to Archbishop Killian.’
I have no intention of ever going along with it.
But Harvey seemed to think otherwise.
“Cassandra-sama, I am here as the vice-captain of the Holy Knights. To ask the reason for the prophet who left the church without permission.”
“…Are you saying you’re going to take me by force?”
“If it is necessary, then it is. I swear there will be nothing else.”
well. Is it really so?
Cassandra snorted inwardly.
Archbishop Killian has never been so docile.
I’m sure if I’m taken away this time, I’ll never be able to leave the country again.
Archbishop Killian’s shadow has already grown too thick.
“Then let’s go together.”
As if he would make it himself if it didn’t work out, Harvey began to pick up his momentum again.
Lian also frowned and tried to prepare to face Harvey again.
But then.
“Who is going with you?”
With a cool voice, a pillar of fire rose in the place where Harvey had been.
Reflexively, Harvey moved away from the spot and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
“you are…”
“Hero candidates.”
Mikhail answered simply.
“He’s also the guardian of that prophet whom the Lord wants to drag away.”
* * *
Somehow it seemed like this.
Damn Killian.
I laughed at Habei, who was brazenly raising her head in front of me.
It’s not a very nice face.
The reason is the same as Siegfried.
He was the one who left this world as it was after only shoveling before returning.
“…This is Mikhail.”
“Oh right. I’ve decided to protect Miss Cassandra, so don’t worry, Sir, do your due diligence.”
“Even if you have the qualifications of a hero, this is a matter for the Church. To Michael, who is qualified to stop the Holy Knights’ event… …”
“Ha.”
Habei’s words were funny, so I laughed out loud.
“Has it been so long since the hero appeared that his memories are fuzzy? Under the laws of the kingdom, the hero would never be an existence outside the kingdom, right?”
“…!”
“If you want the Lord to give me the correct laws of the kingdom, I can recite them to you. do you want that?”
They probably thought that I didn’t know the details about the hero because I was a newcomer to the religion.
In fact, the laws of the Churches regarding warriors were not well known.
But what can I do?
I remember everything.
“Cassandra-sama left without saying anything to the Church…”
“So.”
I emphasized again.
“She was with me, the ‘candidate for the champion’?”
Habei’s brow furrowed.
I didn’t care and continued.
“It is not that he disappeared for something unrelated to the religion. I don’t know what the hell he’s trying to drag her away for, but now he’s saying that he doesn’t have a great cause.”
At my words, Habei didn’t like it at all.
It’s like I didn’t expect it to come out like this.
Perhaps Harvey would have made a justification if he had endured without giving a reason, saying he was simply displeased.
However, with my words now, he has lost the cause of leading Cassandra.
“Rather, it seems that Kyung tried to suppress her by force. Do I really have to complain directly to Archbishop Killian about this?”
“that…”
“Or just go. Don’t do anything stupid.”
At my words, Habei looked worried for a while, but eventually put the sword in.
He must have thought that there would be nothing to be gained by being stubborn here.
“I’ll just go for today.”
“What about today? I have no intention of seeing more of you. If you are going to come, tell the archbishop to come in person.”
“….”
Harvey’s eyebrows twitched, but he didn’t open his mouth any more and went outside the first temple.
All that remains are traces of the battle.
“Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue and used some simple magic to clear up the traces and then looked back at the three of them.
First, I asked Ryan.
“Why do you look like you chewed shit again?”
“It’s been a while since I wanted to meet someone I was capable of, but I had a fight.”
“Even if you look at Pato anyway, he’s the vice-captain of the Holy Knights, so if it was longer, it would have been more of a headache.”
The guy also kept his mouth shut, as if he had nothing to refute to my words.
I turned my gaze to both.
Cassandra and Helen.
Either way, he was looking at me with a complex expression.
“Okay then.”
I looked at the two and said.
“Can we talk?”
Great mage who transcends by regression
