42. The Renown of My Mary Sue is Unmatched

My body fell like a broken doll, rolling out. Although the fairy’s full power was unleashed this time, it was not as strong due to the user’s influence, resulting in more superficial injuries like “clothes being torn” on Urasiru. Yet, Urasiru was already sufficiently shocked and fearful.

After all, if the user of that ice fairy had been either Kephiel or Nilu, the outcome at this moment would not have been so narrowly avoided.

Urasiru, who had rolled to the ground, finally came to a stop when she collided with the foot of the goddess statue. The scars etched by magic and gravel beneath her tattered clothes didn’t elicit even a hint of pain on her face. Instead, she awkwardly propped herself up, silently gazing at the unexpected guest who had attacked her at this coincidental moment.

At the moment she confirmed the figure before her, a flicker of change crossed Urasiru’s expression, surprise washing over her features.

“You are… Mary Sue Ice…”

“It’s Mary Sue Snow… Ah, never mind, Miss Nun, you don’t need to force yourself to remember, because honestly, I can’t recall it a second time either. And besides, it’s not needed now.”

The new candidate for the saintess, Mary Sue—no, it should be referred to as Oghilid—smiled with a slightly unfamiliar beautiful girl’s voice.

“Surprised, Urasiru, that I would be here, rather than hiding in another town while being hunted by your people?”

“!”

“Blade of Order, Eye of Order, right? The goddess’s belongings don’t always seem that useful, do they?”

Taking advantage of the moment Urasiru distanced herself from me, I moved closer to Nilu and Kephiel. Watching the expression of Sister Urasiru shift from surprise to “delight,” I guessed she finally understood why I was here.

The reason was simple: as the big villain Oghilid, who could be “scripted to die” at any moment, I was certainly afraid of death! So… how could I not stick close to Kephiel!? Thus, while it was a good plan to let Nilu and Kephiel infiltrate the church to deal with Urasiru while I hid in a safe place, I still had no choice.

From the very beginning, I had already been involved! When Nilu participated in the selection for the new saintess, I had already used the identity of “Mary Sue” with the help of the magic sword Alsas to join the selection, all to stealthily accompany Nilu and Kephiel.

However, I had also experienced Sister Urasiru’s skills, and to successfully deceive her, I needed a bit of “real substance.” Therefore, regarding that church faction member, the father who wanted to undermine his own daughter, Nilu and I didn’t make him forget everything outright. On the contrary, we “commanded” him to reveal some information related to Nilu, disclosing her existence to dispel Urasiru’s suspicions.

Moreover, at the same time, I deliberately revealed information like “Euklid alone,” so that the overwhelmed Urasiru would send her subordinates to “kill me.” This way, the Urasiru nuns in the church would have no help for a while! To put it simply: it’s a classic strategy to lure the tiger away from its mountain.

And now it seems my plan has succeeded for the most part. Urasiru’s words just now indicated that she had sent her subordinates to hunt me and Ikusis, and to “judge” Kephir and Nilu, she had come here alone. At this moment, I am safe and sound, and Kephir and Nilu have no worries behind them. The combined strength of these two big shots is definitely enough to give this nun a run for her money!

I handed Alsace to Kephir, and dressed in women’s clothing, it’s better to stay in this beautiful girl form for a while longer to avoid looking like a pervert. Moreover, even though my plan has succeeded for the most part, I still do not feel at ease. After all… the script at this moment is a blur, which inevitably makes me anxious. Even at this point, with Kephir and Nilu joining forces against Urasiru, do we… do we not have any guaranteed victory!?

As my gaze fell, the scarred Urasiru slowly stood up, leaning on her scythe and looking over. The expression on the nun’s face was clearly much richer now, but… this only made me feel more tense.

Originally, my plan was to have Kephir and Nilu defeat Urasiru, and then use Jias to “command” her to completely forget about us. As long as the command was perfect, we could smoothly have the queen come to take over the church, and everything would be resolved. However…

Would this “script” really develop as I envisioned?

Because…

“Ah… ●●● ah, even as time flows and things change, you remain so perfect…”

Urasiru mumbled strange words, and I could barely hear them! After all, even I could feel the hostility radiating from this white-haired elven nun at this moment!

Kephir pushed me back, and together with Nilu, they shielded me!

Accompanied by the emergence of the script!

【Urasiru continues to execute ‘Judgment’!】

Resisting stubbornly? No… I should say… she has never feared Kephir and Nilu at all!

“Indeed, only you are worthy of ●●’s favor!”

Urasiru swung her scythe, and in an instant, the light swords we had seen before surged forward in rows! At this point, I had no time to consider what the nun had just said! Immediately, as Kephir and Nilu charged forward, I turned my attention to the script!

I couldn’t help, but at least I couldn’t be a burden!

Unlike the last time I faced Urasiru, when my first reaction was to escape with Ikusis upon encountering her power, this time, we were genuinely here to deal with the boss before us! Although I had worried whether Kephir and Nilu, these incompatible foes, could cooperate, the scene before me made me feel I had worried too much.

Kephir cleared the obstacles in front of Nilu, blocking the falling light swords, while Nilu boldly entrusted her safety to Kephir, quickly reaching Urasiru’s side!

“Nun, didn’t you find his gaze a bit strange just now!?”

Even as she spoke, Nilu’s movements did not falter at all. As her blade clashed with Urasiru’s scythe, the dark fairy Ignis immediately transformed into a long whip, wrapping around the blade! In the next moment, the blade of the scythe scattered like dust, and the weapon in Urasiru’s hand seemed to transform into a spear, but as it thrust forward, Kephir saw through it and stomped it down!

“Eugene said she knows many ‘secrets’ that can be asked later!”

Taking advantage of Kephir’s moment of speech, Urasilu also withdrew her long spear, jumping back a distance! Facing two opponents, especially at the level of Kephir and Nilu, was incredibly disadvantageous for Urasilu, who was more like a “mage”! Even if she kept dodging, there would ultimately come a time when she would be defeated.

I… was still thinking this just a moment ago!

However, what seemed to me an utterly predictable situation, at the moment I glanced at the script, instead…

Revealed content that filled me with dread!

The future in the script was a chaotic blur, as if… nothing was certain! Looking up, I wanted to warn the two women to be cautious, but at that moment I discovered: Urasilu had already come to a stop after jumping back a considerable distance, and then, facing the advancing Kephir and Nilu…

She leaned on her scythe, turned her body, and slowly spoke.

“Ladies, have you heard the legend of the ‘Saint’?”
