Chapter 297 – Chapter 297-the Guardian Saint

At first, Olivia was not dissatisfied with the fact that she was becoming a saint.

Rather, Olivia in her childhood was to the extent that she was delighted that the saintess from the children’s book had become herself.

Life different from other nuns.

Even if she worships together, later she remains alone and prays alone to increase her divine power in the saint’s hall.

While other children were helping the nun with chores or household chores, they received training from the Holy Knights at the training ground dedicated to the saint and trained to handle maces and bucklers.

Her lifestyle her has changed a lot from before.

But that wasn’t a complaint.

Because the childhood Olivia just became a saint! She was able to hold on with her mind her.

She, of course, was tempted by her friend her, an apprentice nun, to play with her, and got scolded while playing together.

Olivia, who sometimes slips away but when she does, is not dissatisfied with her role her and her own life her.

However.

Over time, as her body matured and her mind matured, Olivia developed these insecurities.

Is she really worthy of being a saint herself?
Is she really upright as a saint?
Is she really capable of defeating her demon lord?

She says she’s doing well around her.
She says that she suits her as a saint.

But every time she sees the literature in the cathedral.
Olivia couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Each of the saints in the literature was amazing.

A guardian saintess who protects the hero by his side her and creates an opportunity to subdue the demon lord.

She is the best guardian who blocks any demon lord’s attack and protects her comrades her.

Even if there are saints who have been defeated among the saints of the past.
Even that was unfortunately defeated, but she carved numerous achievements.

Will she be able to act like the saints of the past?
Will she be able to help the hero and defeat the demon king?

The more she learned about her saintess, the more Olivia’s anxiety grew.

She couldn’t believe in herself no matter how good she was around her.

And from that anxiety, Olivia devoted herself to training.

She also rejected her offer her to train with her champion her in the capital.

It was because she was ashamed to show her immature self to her warriors to her.
She can’t even admit it herself, and she has no qualifications to train alongside the warrior.

Thinking so, Olivia immersed herself in her practice without missing a single moment.

She prayed to the god Alteyla so that she could gain more divine power.
She dealt with a buckler and a mace so that she could show more skill.

However, the more she practiced, the more questions remained about whether she was doing well.

I want to do well.
As a saint, she wants to be a fit woman.
Become stronger like the saints of the past…… She wanted to protect everyone.

People who raised them.
Sisters who have grown up together since childhood.
She loves Alteilia’s.
She further thought that Olivia wanted to protect the people of this country.

The only time she could believe that she was her saint was during her subjugation mission her.

I was afraid at first.
For her, fighting monsters were scary even for Olivia, who had accumulated some skills through training.

What if I make a mistake
Will I be able to use my divine power properly?
Will I be able to properly protect everyone?

Fortunately, such anxiety did not happen in reality.

Her persistent prayers and her accumulated skills her did not betray Olivia.

Her monster’s movements her were slower than Olivia thought.
Her divine power was manifested when Olivia answered the call.

Blocks monster attacks with a buckler and protects people.
By adding divine power, it expands the range of protection and protects more people.

And wield a mace to kill the monsters that threaten people.

At first, the sensation of the mace crushing the monster’s skull was unfamiliar.

However.

“Saintess! Well done.”

“It was protected by the saintess. Thank you.”

“You are also a saintess.”

After her subjugation of her, the voices of people praising her made Olivia feel real.
She said that the act of blocking the monster’s attack was her own.
She said that she had been protecting people from monsters.

In this way, Olivia could feel her realization that she was proving that she was a saint while bringing people joy.

After that, Olivia participated in many subjugation missions in the name of improving her skills her.

Although she had a hard time meeting strong enemies.
Each time she blocks her monsters with her own shield.
Each time she gets hit instead of an attack that goes to someone else with her own body.

Olivia was delighted to realize that she was a saint.
She could believe that she was the unmistakable guardian saint.

But even that was nothing more than her little joy her as time passed.

To keep someone in the first place.
It was natural for a saintess to use divine power to protect people.

Very.
Something very basic.

While she was delighted with her basics, a new anxiety crept over Olivia.

To this extent, will she be able to defeat the demon lord herself? Called.

It was during one of her subjugation missions that she was entrusted with subjugating a high-ranking monster called the Big Ogre.

The Big Ogre is a gigantic ogre twice the size of a normal ogre.

It was a terrifying monster with such power that even a B-rank adventurer could lose their life in one blow if they were not careful.

And even Olivia couldn’t easily block the big ogre’s sincere fist.

– Whoaaaaa!

Aaaaa!

“Ugh!”

Using her divine power her, the shield that spreads a light curtain around Buckler was on the verge of breaking with a single shot.

“Shoot it!”

“”Holly Lane!””

After Olivia took her first blow, the battle saints of the interception unit used holy attack magic all at once.

The countless rains of light pouring down.

However, it was not enough to defeat the Big Ogre at once.

– Whoa! Whoaaaaa!

The Big Ogre resisted fiercely and repeated the attack countless times.

And Olivia blocked and blocked and blocked those attacks.

“Kyaaaaah

There were limits to her physical strength her and her divine power her.

Olivia is blown away by the ogre’s attack when the divine shield is broken.

Fortunately, she was n’t seriously injured because of the divine power that was wrapped around her body, but that was n’t what was important to Olivia.

“Hey, everyone!”

-Ougagaaaaa

Big Ogre slams both hands into the ground as a last resort and swings upward.

Numerous showers of soil and stones hit the battle nuns and paladins.

“”Ahhh!””

“”Kyaaaaa!”

“No dear!”

In a fit of emotion, Olivia spread her wings and flew straight at the Big Ogre, brandishing her mace.

Aaaaagh!

The ogre, who was so exhausted that he had no choice but to make a final effort, lost his life with that one shot.

And because the last outburst couldn’t contain much strength, people who were caught up in the baptism of earth and stone did not lose their lives.

But I couldn’t help but get hurt.

Some broke his arm.

Some have thin abrasions here and there.

Some passed out after a stone was hit on his head.

Those who participated in the subjugation of the Big Ogre did not blame the saintess.

Rather, they expressed their respect and gratitude to Olivia for enduring the attack until the ogre gave its final blow, and lamented their own helplessness in not being able to defeat the big ogre until her holy maiden’s shield was broken.

But Olivia herself was not like that.

She completely failed to keep everyone.
She hurt everyone.

Olivia thought that this was something that should not have happened to a patron saint.
At the same time, Olivia was overcome with fear.

The Big Ogre is definitely a strong monster.

However, there are countless monsters stronger than that in the world.
The Demon King is said to be the strongest among them.

She couldn’t completely block the Big Ogre’s attack, and instead, she was attacked and flew away.

Will she be able to fight against a demon lord stronger than this?
She wondered if she had the qualifications to be a saint, and she was overcome with anxiety and fear.

And those fears and anxieties always clung to Olivia, even recently.

Even when she listens to the advice of other nuns.
It’s not her specialty of her, but when she uses her divine power to heal someone.
Even if she blocks monster attacks and gets hit, at least she feels like a saint.

Although she herself is currently a saint, her anxiety and fear her about whether she is truly a saint suitable to defeat the demon lord never faded.

‘Performance… It’s not enough. I must be a little stronger. I’m more…… ! For all… !’

An almost obsessive thought.

Every time I see people’s happy smiles, I want to keep them.
Every time I hear the news that the warriors and their colleagues in the capital are active.
Every time I hear bards singing that the devil will come soon.

Moreover, her obsessive compulsiveness that she had to acquire the skills appropriate for a saintess intensified.

That’s why Olivia always devoted herself to practicing asceticism when her daily routine was over or when she was alone away from others.

On the surface, it was the efforts of a pious and sincere saintess.

For Olivia, she struggled desperately to train herself, who was not yet qualified to be a saint.

And one day

Olivia heard a rumor about a saint.

The adult’s name is Marne.

A cleric who believes in the god Qil of the neighboring country who is called a saint of healing and is said to heal people with endless divine power.

‘Endless divine power… Different from me…….’

The amount of her divine power was one of her troubles her for Olivia.

Her divine power increased significantly compared to when she was young and increased compared to others.

However, Olivia always thought that that alone was not enough to confront the Demon King.

That’s why Olivia wanted to see the adult Marne.

‘If you get advice on how to further increase your divine power through an encounter…….’

Olivia asked the pope to summon Saint Marne and his companions as saints.

“Oh, hello. My name is Marne!”

And Olivia couldn’t help but be surprised to see Marne.

She was told by her title of saint and endless divine power.
Olivia had thought that Marne was a saint or saint from a neighboring country with a middle-aged or old age.

But Marne was a young woman who didn’t look much the same age as hers.

“Hello, Saint Marne. I’m Olivia, who’s in charge of her saintess in this Alteilia.”

“Yes, yes! Ha, but that… It’s embarrassing to be called a saint in front of a real saintess… Aha, ahaha…”

“Yes? Marne-sama… Isn’t she officially appointed as an adult?”

“Ah, no! It’s completely different! That’s just because I’ve been treating a lot of people, so that’s what people called me that. I-I’m an adult! You, I’m so sorry!”

“That’s right.”

Marne’s reaction did not disappoint Olivia.
Rather, Olivia felt inferior and respected.

Because.

No matter how well she hid it, she could be known to the saintess Olivia.
Marne’s body contained her enormous divine power in her, to the extent that it could be said to be endless.

She is no match for herself.

Marne had her divine power in her, which would leak out quickly and show off a brilliant light if she did not deliberately suppress it.

She looks no different from her age her.
Even so, as a saint, she possesses enormous divine power that she is no match for.
And even though she hides her divine power her, her actions her make her recognized as a saint by those around her.

Olivia couldn’t help but think that she was inferior to Marne in every way she was.
