Episode 34 The Saint and the Saint (6)
“Ughhhh…”
Along with the sound of bones, Pia let out a low voice.
Hitting the shoulder was excruciatingly painful.
No matter how hard it is, it is admirable that he endures well.
Ray looked at her condition even as they were shoulder to shoulder.
It is difficult to treat residual scars now, but it seems that first aid is needed for the sword wound on the side.
Without hesitation, he ripped off his sleeve and pressed it against his side as if he was pressing it.
I was going to use mana to do acupuncture, but it wasn’t right because it was a combat situation.
Her body has many residual scars, so she can’t do anything when the blood runs out.
Since there are no blood transfusion packs, you cannot receive blood from someone.
Because I don’t even know that blood type exists in the first place.
Seriously feeling the lack of information, Ray did the best he could.
Ira was relieved to see that.
When he thought that Ray, who had cured him, saw her, his worries disappeared.
Compared to her, Pia’s current condition was a skinned knee.
At that time, the saintess approached Ray.
Iriel said with a smile on his face.
“You must go to the holy kingdom. God is calling you.”
His voice was full of reverence.
However, the fact that her clothes were covered in blood was enough to make anyone see the difference.
Without answering, he stood up and looked at her, and he chattered nonstop as if he felt that his words were getting through.
“Since you have been nominated by God, it is time to make achievements worthy of it.”
“Achievements?”
“yes. How can it not be called a feat in doing God’s will? The great work we have to do is just beginning.”
“A great thing? Is this a great thing that you see with your own eyes?”
As he spoke, he pointed to the bloodstained bush.
Iriel also erased his laughter at the words that felt Ray’s anger.
“We made a clear request and offered a reward for it. However, the Elves refused and warned us that there could be a show of force as it is impossible to backtrack in front of God’s will. Besides, I didn’t even kill this elf because of them…” ”
So you’re going to invade the territory where they live without their permission and take me out by force?”
“It is unavoidable.”
“Then you think I’m right and I’m going to you guys?”
Iriel shook his head.
“…I don’t want to use force on the Holy Son.”
Aira, who had been silently listening to her last words, reacted.
“I can’t believe it. It’s not enough to make a fuss in front of someone else’s house. To say that you dare to point a sword at my benefactor… Then show it. It is the force you have been talking about so much.”
Iriel narrowed his eyes as he saw her suddenly intervening.
“The power of the Holy Kingdom is mighty… but can a mere elf be able to stop it?”
“Whether it’s courage or recklessness, it would be quicker to experience it with your own body.”
“…You don’t know the subject.”
Due to the slight height difference between the two, Aira looked up at Iriel.
However, Aira’s eyes overflowed with composure.
These are the eyes that one can have because they are strong.
Iriel frowned, perhaps because he didn’t like the way he looked.
Then, all of a sudden, their cries were heard all around them.
“How dare you, the saintess!”
“Which way is it foolish!”
Those who were full of faith lowered their swords at her for daring to speak out against the god’s representative.
As if they were crazy about something, they rushed at me with angry expressions.
The swords that were about to reach her neck in an instant stopped at her words.
“Hold.”
The crowd stopped at her words.
Well, something unbelievable happened.
“My body…”
“Saintess…! Help me…!”
“Keugh… Even the divine power is frozen!”
Their bodies as well as the divine power they could control stopped.
Still, they thought they had sealed Aira’s movements.
That would be the case, since the sword was frozen in the state of putting it around his neck.
If he moved even a little, the sword would slit his throat and he would die.
Aira smiled as if she knew what they were thinking and took a step forward.
Pakan-
Then, a sound that could not be seen as a sword colliding with the neck rang out.
The swords that touched her body were shattered.
The Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom, who used good swords in their own way, peeked at the fragments of despair as their swords broke powerlessly.
Is this really an elf?
no. Elves couldn’t show this level of confidence.
What exactly is the identity of the elf in front of you?
They trembled in front of Aira, who was twice as tall as them.
As they thought of what would happen to them standing still, fear came over them.
The primal instinctive desire to survive pierced through his faith and crawled out.
“Please save me! I just…”
“Aaaaaaaa! help me!”
I haven’t done anything yet, but the screams that burst out are spectacle.
Ira laughed mischievously.
“Are these the knights who will accomplish the ‘great thing’ you speak of?”
“…they are weak in the faith.”
“It’s really good. Do you think God gave you strength only? They didn’t even know that they were trapped in the frame of God’s standard…”
“That’s a long story.”
Iriel frowned and pounced on her.
No matter what the course was, as long as it was the elves who touched it first, they still had a weapon called ‘justification’.
The pure white light emitted from her hand squeezed Aira.
There was power in that hand, different from dealing with Pia.
As proof of that, isn’t the golden divine power turned white?
It even surpassed the Sword Master’s Aura Blade, and had the power to cut through the large-scale barriers spread by wizards.
It was a self-evident fact that Aira’s head would fall to the ground with this single move.
However, her hand also stopped along with the paladins scattered around.
“Hold.”
It was just one word.
Even though there was an opponent he wanted to kill in front of his eyes, he had no choice but to stop at her single word.
I tried to break it by injecting divine power, but I didn’t listen.
It is as if time has stopped in the body that is oneself.
Aira slowly approached Iriel, who was trying to move her body.
And then he sang quietly.
“How does it feel when the power of the Holy Kingdom, which you so much believed in, is blocked by ‘one’ elf?”
“This is not the end of the Holy Kingdom’s power!”
“This is serious.”
Iriel gnashed his teeth at Aira’s gaze as if he was looking at something pitiful.
she cried out in anguish.
“Adduk! We will take you to the Holy Land no matter what! Even if only the body is taken,
the horse…” Voila-
she couldn’t get the words out.
It was because Aira had a straight face and slapped her on the cheek.
Cold blue eyes looked straight at Iriel.
“Don’t make fun of that mouth. Because the saint you want to take away at least his body is more precious to me than his life.”
The blow was so hard that blood flowed from Iriel’s mouth.
Even so, Iriel couldn’t say anything.
I could tell because the eyes that revealed life in the silence were staring at me.
If I said anything more here, I could really be killed by her.
She trembled with fear in her body.
She pretended otherwise, but she didn’t want to deal with the elf in front of her either.
It was an elf with terrifying power that made me wonder if it was really possible to be an adversary.
She doubted that the high elf she had heard of might not be the elf in front of her.
Ira lifted her chin with a small hand.
She knows that Ray will go to the Holy Land.
It seems like they don’t want to go, but they try to go of their own will to get something.
When she thought of dragging him away like this, she naturally felt unkind feelings.
Emotions aren’t good, so my hands went into strength.
“You are so shameless taking other people’s things. I want to erase your disgusting country right now…”
He flinched.
Iriel reacted to Aira’s eerie words.
Even if you don’t know about destruction, it will be self-evident that you will reach a half-destroyed state.
That’s because he couldn’t even move his body with a single word.
But can you kill her until it reaches a half-destroyed state?
The answer to that question was negative.
Aira will destroy the Holy Kingdom in half and quietly disappear.
She had that level of skill.
Ray, who had left Pia lying on a tall tree nearby, approached Iriel.
and said lowly.
“I will go to the holy kingdom.”
In that one word, joy and sorrow crossed.
Even though she knew that Ray would go to the Holy Land, Aira was heartbroken.
Even if you don’t leave right away.
On the other hand, Iriel’s expression relaxed slightly.
It was because he was certain that he would come to the Holy Land.
Ray continued, not paying attention to the situation around him.
“There are conditions instead.”
“Conditions… you mean…?”
“First, I am not being a saint for God. I became a saint by my will, and quitting is also my heart.”
No matter how cool-headed and proud she is, at this moment she opened her mouth.
oh my god. what does saint mean
Isn’t it a place to be chosen by God and do God’s will in a sacred country ruled by God?
But would you like to stop doing that?
He must have been out of his mind or not sure where he was as a saint.
However, he continued as if he didn’t care about his reaction.
“second. I don’t know what will happen if something like this happens again.”
He points to the blood-stained grass.
“…what kind of situation is coming?”
“Because I don’t know. Well, I might leave the castle country and become the saint of the enemy country.”
“…”
The saintess wondered if the saint had turned properly.
It is because they are going against the Holy Kingdom and threatening God.
If this happens again, I will choose a country other than you.
However, Iriel did not know about the first condition, but did not worry about the second condition.
If the saint who received the divine power betrays, the divine power will be returned to the god.
But that was because she didn’t know Ray.
Even if he had no power, that knowledge and skill itself was already a power.
Even after coming to this world, he had raised the dead, so he couldn’t even know how much synergy would occur if the knowledge of this place was added.
Steal the divine power from him? It was clear that Ray would be rather excited that it went well.
Mana was more comfortable for me.
Iriel said in a tense voice.
“if… Is there a third?”
“Yes.”
His expression, asking why he asked for something obvious, made me feel snarky.
“The third is my right to use all library facilities in the Holy Land.”
“…That’s easy.”
The third clause was like an option that comes naturally with becoming a saint.
A saint or saintess has the right to use all facilities in the Holy Land.
“fourth.”
“…”
I couldn’t believe it, but there was even a fourth.
“I will pay my wages while I work. Of course, food, clothing and shelter are provided by the Holy Land.”
“…food, clothing and shelter?”
Oops. Food, clothing and shelter seems to be an expression not used here.
Ray explained.
“It means that the Holy Kingdom provides clothes to wear, food to eat, and a place to sleep.”
After thinking for a while, she asked curiously.
“What do you mean by pay?”
He answered Iriel’s question with curiosity.
“Of course it is money.”
This, too, was unbelievable, but it was money.
It was the moment when Iriel’s illusion of being a saint itself was shattered.
