Chapter 365 – #98. Warrior of Light (1).

#98. Warrior of light.

“A priest of light?”

I met the rear commander.
A nobleman is a nobleman, so he was dressed neatly compared to his soldiers.

“Yes, I confirmed the miracle through divine power.”
“Then there is no reason not to believe it.”

The knight threw me at the commander and left.

He said that only a priest could allow him to face a noble, and the other party decided to wait at the garrison.
So, I was the only one who entered the commander’s tent.

“Let’s call it Alveron.”
“This is Ryan. As you can see, I belong to the Church of Light.”

We shook hands briefly.
Since we are at war even in the rear, a cumbersome welcome ceremony is a luxury.

“Can I start with the main subject?”
“Yes, it is more comfortable than that.”
“… Why did the priest of light come to the battlefield?”

I couldn’t understand Alveron’s words for a moment.
Priests who can perform miracles are treated as more advanced personnel than other classes.
There is a reason why it is protected in the first place.

It’s not enough to greet me from Alveron’s point of view, but if I ask why I’m here, what should I answer?

“I came because I wanted to be of some help. A priest comes to the battlefield during a war. Is there a reason other than that? To defeat evil and restore peace…”
“I respect that will. But… I know this would be rude. Still… The Church of Light has no power anymore.”
“Yes?”
“There are already rumors going around. The Church of Light can no longer perform miracles. Saint Victoria of the Church of Light has lost her powers. What can the other priests do?”

Victoria has lost her powers.
What that means is:

‘The Church of Light will collapse!’

We do not know in detail how the structure of the denomination is formed.
In general, the pope, the saints, the saints, and the cardinals, the order of the Holy Knights, and the judges of heresy will support the denomination.

Considering the position of the saintess, Alveron’s words were not ordinary.
It means that the saintess has lost her divine power.
It meant that the current god of light did not even have the divine power to bestow on the saintess.

“You never know when that divine power will disappear. Maybe the miracle is lost now. If you went to the battlefield… It might soon turn into a cold corpse.”
“No.”
“The God of Light has no more mercy on us. Faith fades and naturally declines. Our generation will remember him, but that’s it.”

Alveron shook his head.
He looked at me and gave me a sad look.

It’s not a woman, but a man looks at me pitifully.
Unbeknownst to me, the words came out carelessly.

“It’s not, you bastard.”
“What? What did you just say?”
“I’m sorry.”
“You bastard… Was the priest right? It is hard to see him as a believer in God because his words are covered with thorns. Get out of here!”
“Ah, why would you do that?”

I clapped my hands.
Spreading Alveron’s gaze, he exploded the divinity.

Pure white light brightly filled the interior of the commander’s tent.

“This… ?!”

Alveron opened his eyes wide and looked around the inside of the tent.
Faced with a brilliant miracle, he couldn’t hide his feelings.

“Alveron! What’s going on!”

The guards and knights standing outside poked their heads into the tent.
The light was strong enough to reach outside the tent.
Seen from the outside, the light suddenly bursts from inside, so the soldiers came in, worrying only about their superiors.

“Ah, nothing… It seems my knowledge was lacking.”

Alveron kicked the soldiers out with a gesture.
Because at this point in time, she faced a divine power that was incomparable to that of the saintess.
You will have a lot of questions right now.

The soldiers rushed out.
One command went amazingly well.
In a tent with only the two of them left.

Alveron looked at me and asked.

“Is it the Church of Light?”
“Yes.”
“The Sealing Sword of Light has been stolen. With the sacred relic lost, miracles would be impossible with tolerable power, but why…”
“Because the God of Light is sending me faith.”
“You mean the light believes in you more than the saintess?”

Lie in agony
Lies not true.
Because it is a created world, my influence is controlled from the outside.

“It’s not something I’m going to say. It is for God to decide.”
“Ah, I see…”

Alveron’s eyes became more humble.
Trust was built between the two of us because of her divine power.

“Do you intend to go to the front?”
“I want to go as quickly as possible.”
“But… Even if you’re not doing rotations, taking care of the injured… Even staying here is a luxury.”

Alveron had no intention of catching me.
It was rather nuisance to hold on to it.

Although he commands the rear, a noble is a noble.
When the continent is destroyed by the demon king’s army, the tribes that suffer the most loss are the nobles.

Besides, Alveron is an old nobleman.
Why would an old aristocrat who had only his life to lose suffer here?
They are rolling on the dirt floor at the frontlines to fulfill their last wish of contributing to peace.

“Thank you for your patience.”
“I will give you a guide. So that I can go straight to the front without wandering.”

Thanks to Alveron’s consideration, I was able to start straight ahead.
I followed the article attached as a guide and moved on the shortest route.

“The priest’s power is strong. If we were alone, I think we would have been trapped for several days without being able to pass.”

Dylan murmured from the carriage.
Unless you are in the upper tier, your adventurer status is of no use to you at all.
Wouldn’t it be strange to write it as an adventurer and call it a wanderer?

Is it because
I could definitely feel the benefits of being a priest.

The wagon did not stop and headed for the forward area.
At the forefront where the war is in full swing, tension cannot be let go.

The air is dyed dark red.
The blue sky of the continent gave off a gloomy aura that felt like a lie.

Following the driver’s guidance, we arrived at the front area checkpoint.
The tension was different from the rear.
Even the sentries felt like high-level veterans.

Even so, he was a living corpse waiting for the day he would die on the battlefield.

“Who are you?”
“I brought Baron Alveron’s knight, the Priest of Light.”

Some procedures are cumbersome.
A series of trivial processes of exchanging introductions with each other.
Fuck it all.

I exploded my divinity brilliantly.
He radiated divine power to see as far as possible.
The knight who guided us looked at me in amazement at the effect, as if a god had descended.

“Yes, priest… ?”
“I thought it would be a waste of time to search and explore, even though we were both busy. This should prove it, right?”

I asked the sentry.
Perhaps it was because he faced the halo right in front of his eyes, but the soldier stared into the sky with a stupid face.

“What’s going on!”
“What the hell is this light… !”

Someone rushed out from inside.
Judging by his handsome appearance, it must be the commanding officer in charge of this area.

I got off the carriage and greeted them.
Divine power was flowing softly from my body.

“A Priest of Light? How is this possible… ?”
“Obviously I lost my strength. Even Saint Victoria exhausted her strength and retreated from the front line, but why… ?”

The commanders giggled in front of me.
The look of embarrassment is clear, so I can’t really bet anything else.

“Hmm, hmm. Welcome, Priest of Light. Please come inside.”

As per my plan, several steps could be omitted.
Because overwhelming divine power is more useful than anything else.
You wouldn’t want to waste your time on them either.

Even while moving, we had a short conversation.
I asked for information about the front line, and they responded wholeheartedly.

“If it’s a divine power that’s about the same as the priest of light… It will be a great addition to the allied forces.”
“The reason Saint Victoria’s divine power disappeared. She must have been selective and focused.”
“Come on, a battle may have to be fought right away. Miracle…”

Because it was a unit stationed near the front line, there were many wounded who looked like defeated soldiers.
They were not healthy, and were moaning and suffering.
Overall, there were a few priests, but the number was lacking.

Divine power is not infinite.
Priests also have energy such as physical strength and mental strength, and if they use up all of them, they will inevitably collapse from exhaustion.
So, through the concentration of divine power, the depth of faith and the level of the priest are measured.

“Priest… ?”
“A Priest of Light? Why do you still stay? Didn’t everything go back?”
“A while ago, divine power exploded from afar. No way…”

The wounded soldiers looked at me and whispered among themselves.
When I focused my mana on hearing, I could hear their voices as if they were speaking right in front of me.

The glance of hope passing by at first glance must be a reminder of the possibility of recovery.
Even if it were me, it would be like that.
If I could attach my limbs that were blown off, and if my friends who had lost their minds could come back.
I can only think of hope.

“The light is not dead yet!”

Clap your hands and join hands vigorously.
A cry like a lion’s roar burst toward the garrison.

Standing at the center of the subordinate units of the 3rd Division of the Allied Forces, I demonstrated my divine power.
How far can I go?
I also have a mind to satisfy my curiosity about him, so I did not put any restrictions on my power.

Light spreads in all directions.
It wasn’t divine magic like healing or recovery, but the miracle itself spewed out.
It was a power higher than that of the saintess.

“Ooh, oooooh! Healing, par. My arm is healing!”
“Thank you. Thank you, priest!”

The light enveloped the wounded soldiers, the commanders, and the sweating priests.
Accumulated wounds are restored and accumulated fatigue disappears.
The miracle passed through every nook and cranny of his body.

“Ah, ah…”
“With this power, the allied forces will be able to win. We can sortie right away tomorrow morning and destroy the Demon King’s army!”

The commanders who struggled in defeat saw hope.
It seemed like they were going to advance towards the Demon King’s army at any moment.

Supreme Commander, an old man with gray hair and a grown beard.
I don’t even want to remember the name.
I only knew that he was from the Reinhardt family.

Reinhardt came to me.
He turned his head around and seemed to be examining my complexion.

“Are you okay? Doing miracles like this…”
“Fine. I’m fine.”

Seriously fine.
Even if I improve the condition of everyone around me, I can afford it.
I think we can have sex all night.

“I wonder if God really sent the priest down…”
“Not to that extent. It’s just being rewarded for your trust.”

Slowly getting annoyed
I put on a show because I didn’t like the cumbersome procedure, but I thought it would be annoying in a different way.

“Ah. I must have held onto the priest too much.”

It seems that he is not the supreme commander or commander-in-chief.
Anyway, Reinhardt looked at me.
Since I was frowning, I couldn’t help but feel awkward.

“I am a little tired. If I compete tomorrow, I think I need to take a break.”

Quite a bit of time passed while moving.
The sun began to set.
Around 5:00 PM in midsummer.
Because of the influence of the frontline demon army, there is no darker feeling.

“All right. We will inform you after going through a meeting about whether or not to participate. As for a place to rest…”
“I have a tent that I carry with me. I think you just need to make space for it.”
“Yes. All right.”

Everything is in order
In a war that is extinct if defeated, individual interests and pride are useless.
For the sole reason of having overwhelming divinity, he was treated like a state guest.

An empty lot was created almost in the center of the unit.
Feeling like you just hurried away.
Everyone is looking this way.

“Lina, install it.”
“Damn…”

I didn’t care and pampered Lina.

“We will help, priest!”

Although the soldiers who had grown up would not let them go.
