Chapter 227 – Scenario Dungeon (3)

A saint is a vessel that strengthens the spirit of God.

However, if God had already descended to the earth, what would happen to the spirit inside the saintess?

The answer is simple. Returning to her main body, the empty space is filled with divine power.

Since she’s still connected to God, she can give and receive messages whenever she wants, and even gives her extra strength, so there won’t be much difference other than a slight delay.

However, even so, the mind that was once in one body is separated.

“The evil spirits dug into this part.”

Atlantis, which was eventually destroyed under siege due to delayed support due to structural problems in the human union.

Taking this as an opportunity, the surging blue fell to heaven with a bent margin, and as a result, a large hole was pierced in the defense line.

It was not enough that one god, who could be said to be the greatest power and everything, turned into an enemy, and completely lost control of the sea.

The Union at the time was truly an emergency.

It was only natural that the righteous Gwangmyeong, who was at the forefront of the fight, would be busy… It would have been natural for the saintess to fight a little harder for her god.

“Lady Clara, who was a saint at the time, led the paladins to a different strategic location in order to lighten the burden on the righteous Lady Gwangmyeong… She was surrounded as it was.”

It’s not just surrounded by monsters. It was isolated in a true sense by replacing all kinds of sacrifices and even setting up a barrier that temporarily cuts off the connection with the gods.

The moment the connection was cut off, of course, the righteous light noticed this and tried to head to where Clara was.

There’s no way the evil god side would let this go.

The turbid unity, which is also the owner of the Chimera Corps, directly took hold of the righteous light and stretched out.

“Of course, it wasn’t that the righteous Gwangmyeong-nim just quietly suffered.”

He had sent reinforcements time and time again, though he could not go there himself. The problem was that she couldn’t break through the monsters surrounding her saint.

Ten days passed like that.

Clara and her paladins fought silently, even without any response from her gods.

But the world’s affairs are not solved by faith alone.

Paladins and priests fell one by one in front of countless claws of malice, and in the end, the saintess alone remained and began to endure.

Because there was nothing she could do, because those who died first wanted her life.

However. Clara’s divine power, which seemed to be limitless, even revealed her bottom.

Originally, the sacred power that should have been infinitely supplied through her connection with God was cut off, so it must have been inevitable.

So Clara made her decision.

There is no way that a corpse in the hands of an alchemist who makes chimeras or anyone else will be in good shape.

Clara raked in what was left of her divine power and cast her self-sacrifice spell.

The last miracle that burns the body as well as the soul.

The righteous light that came running belatedly found traces of great destruction. And it was only the medallion that Clara used to use.

Clara, as well as her paladins who followed her. It disappeared without leaving any remains.

Especially in Clara’s case, she couldn’t even find her soul because she used a self-sacrifice spell.

On the continent of Eurelia, where gods exist, heaven also exists. Of course, it doesn’t feel like an eternal paradise on Earth.

The soul disappears somewhere after a long time, and was it set up as a resort-like place where you can comfortably enjoy it until it disappears?

Mainly, the sanctuary where the main body of God resides is used as heaven.

Anyway, in such a world, the souls of those martyred naturally go to the sanctuary… Clara’s soul is already burned.

He could not be saved in life, and he could not be saved in death.

Isn’t it too pitiful to say that it was the end of a saintess who was no one else?

That is why this is the painful history of the righteous Church of Light.

“… That’s how it happened.”

A brief, abbreviated explanation for those unfamiliar. Helena and Gilbert, who listened earnestly to the end even though they already knew, nodded.

“You know very well, brother. You’re right. Clara-sama, the last of the saints, was transformed into light while embracing numerous enemies.”

“After that, they regained the Cassis Valley fort, but in the end, they couldn’t overcome the power difference, so they reduced the front line and gave it back. After that, I heard that it became the enemy’s forward base and sent them flying across the sky…”

Gilbert was speechless.

He must have never thought that it would remain as a dungeon, and that it was caused by Saint Clara’s lingering feelings.

In the slightly solemn atmosphere, Helena’s eyes began to twinkle.

Not a metaphor, but a really physically shiny gold eye. At the same time, light ears and a tail protruded from her head and buttocks.

“Uh… ? Mr. Gwangmyeong? What is this…”

Embarrassed, Helena nodded her head to herself. Soon she said a short prayer reverently and then she slowly opened her mouth.

“Ugh… The righteous Kwangmyeong-nim says he wants to quickly release the last traces of St. Clara and the unfinished lingering feelings, brother.”

“Ah, it seems that you can hear everything even if you don’t have to use your strength. Then I’ll get right into the briefing. It’s important from now on, so please listen carefully.”

The story of the past ends here. Now is the time to talk about the present.

“The recurring period is the last day when all the paladins were defeated and Saint Clara was left alone. When it’s time to use the self-sacrifice spell, it counts as a failure and goes back to the beginning.”

“In the meantime, if you break through the Chimera’s encirclement and reach Clara-sama, is it clear, master?”

“No. You can’t just break through. After that, you have to work together to annihilate the Chimera in order to clear it. … Maybe.”

“Mum. But. The conditions for clearing the scenario dungeon depend on the mind of the owner, so it must be difficult for even the owner to be sure.”

Carla nodded her head. Actually, it’s not speculation, it’s confirmed… She’s vague to explain, so she just nodded.

“Anyway, now that we know our goal, we need to make a detailed plan. Look at this first You mean the terrain at the time was like this?”

She waved her fingers in the air, infusing her magic into the tips of her fingers.

Thanks to her excellent memory, the mini-map can be reproduced as vividly as if it were a moment ago.

A schematic that is completed quickly. The people in my party who knew about my setting as a secret organization looked like they would, but Helena and Gilbert, who didn’t know, had their mouths wide open.

Even if they are not related by blood, is it because father and daughter are similar? It’s oddly similar.

He smiled and continued his explanation.

“First of all, of course, the first thing to do is to join Saint Clara. So it’s true that we have to break through first, but this side has a lot of monsters…”

Two high mages, three middle mages, one high paladin, and a slightly immature saint.

With this amount of power, it would be possible to pour firepower from the beginning, but… The problem is that there are a lot of monsters.

There are really too many. On top of that, they were even specialized in defense and regeneration.

They’re determined and made with the intention of killing the saintess, so they’re not usually tenacious.

If Iris and Iona pour in high-level magic, it is possible to break through, but it will be difficult to annihilate the rest because they waste too much magical power.

So route selection is important. As long as you join Clara, you will be able to fight much more efficiently with some assistance.

He carefully explained the standard strategy to reduce the initial consumption.

A quick explanation to see if there are any major disagreements. All that was left was to actually do it.

Helena buffs everyone before entering the dungeon.

When I’m in a hurry, I’ll apply group buffs, but when I’m not in a hurry, individual buffs are much more effective and last longer, so I’ll apply them one by one like now.

It seems that she has already activated her Holy Armor, but it is quite cool to wear shining armor and a furry cape.

After appreciating it for a while, she whispered softly to Helena, who approached when it was my turn.

“Helena. Do you have the medallion I gave you?”

“Of course. Although I have heard of a mace, the sacred objects that the brother gave me are still of great help.”

“Never lose that.”

“Yes?”

“It might fall during a fight.”

Helena, who shrugged her shoulders and tilted her head, smiled lightly.

“Don’t worry. Instead of the Bible, I will hold it in my spare hand and fight.”

She looked at her boyfriend, anxious about losing the present she gave her.

What. Didn’t the righteous light tell you yet?

Lion ears sticking out and prickling. Seeing the strangely urgent movement, she nodded her head in agreement.

He focused on the medallion hanging around Helena’s neck.

======================

【Roaring Lion Medallion】

A large medallion carved in the shape of a roaring lion.

It has been neglected for a long time and has lost its original brilliance, but there are still things that remain.

Warm warmth that reassures those who touch it. And whose traces are the pale bloodstains?

Remember

The most desperate moment. People tend to cling to something.

… Even if it’s a prayer that doesn’t reach.

-Can charge divine power (current remaining 100%)

-If the health drops below 5%, automatically consumes the charged holy power to heal the wearer

-10% increase in holy power efficiency

-Once a week. All charged divine power can be released at once to cause a divine explosion.

======================

Well, Helena will find out soon.
