Chapter 236 – It’s a Ghost! (2)

“Kyaaaaa!! It’s a ghost, brother!!!”

Reflexively, Helena pulled out her mace and wrapped herself in plenty of divine power.

No, why are you taking up a weapon while being afraid?

Of course, Clara’s remaining thoughts are always inside the medallion, and the current translucent shape is just a reflection of her image with light.

Even if you get hit by the mace, there won’t be any damage… Even so, if a mace flew in front of her eyes, wouldn’t it be human psychology to be frightened at first?

– What, what ?!

Ugh!

As the medallion vibrated, the sacred power stored inside became a familiar form of defense.

Helena, who came to her senses on the way, broke Mace’s trajectory, but it was a slight accident at the tip of Clara’s shield because Clara put her shield on her generously.

Quaang!

… Although the collision sound was not a joke to say it was a contact accident.

For a moment. Crash sound?

I, Helena, Clarado, and everyone in this room looked at the defense barrier in amazement.

“Did Clara-sama just do that?”

-Oh, yes. Maybe… ?

“Ama is what else?”

She shook her head and carefully placed her hand on Clara’s shield.

The surface is soft, but when you apply force, it hardens in an instant. It feels as if it has embodied a firm will not to allow anyone to come inside.

It is certainly. This is a sacred art with substance.

“And. This is it.”

As I touched the barrier in admiration, everyone came closer and began to touch it.

“Ugh. How amazing. Priests say that they use divine power through faith, but after all, isn’t that also will?”

“Yes. However, there is no such will left in the residual thoughts. Just as you can’t generate great power with your feet floating, the output that a fragmented mind can produce in a state without a body or soul won’t be very high.”

“Elisha is right. However, isn’t there one thing I’m overlooking? We’ve never talked to each other, but I’ve seen Saint Clara’s battle from afar. It was amazing. He was such a great man in his lifetime, so I wonder if this much is still possible.”

“Well, well. I also think that Clara-sama in her lifetime was amazing. Aren’t mature apostles as strong as archmages and sword masters? But… Even taking that into consideration, I think there is a limit to the power that can be used in the form of residual thoughts.”

“… I’m not a wizard, so there’s a lot I don’t know, but there’s one thing I do know. Divine power is borrowed, not used. Of course, it is true that the stronger the faith, the better the righteous light will respond. However, in other words, if the Lord responds, I think Clara-sama will be able to use her full strength even with her residual thoughts.”

“Haha… It’s Helena. You’re right, but have you forgotten what the righteous light said just a moment ago? Since you said that the power of the circulating life god is intertwined, it seems to be a little more complex, including his power.”

The women who secretly fill my curiosity first in case someone is not a wizard. In response, Helena and Gilbert step aside and give some supplementary explanations.

Even Clara herself is amazed at how this is possible.

… Am I the only one in here who cares that Helena almost hit her ex-her saintess?

Her previous saintess was confused about where her god was, and the current saintess inadvertently swung her mace at her former saintess.

This… Am I right?

The scene of collective intelligence out of nowhere, and Clara who nods and accepts it with a serious face.

If I leave it like this, I think I’ll be talking in this hot desert for hours, so I sighed and intervened in the middle.

“For now, I’m just going to end here. It seems to me that everything is correct. In fact, it only vibrated a little until the first dew of the World Tree was sprinkled, and I don’t know the exact principle, but it happened like this after it was sprinkled, so it must be true that the circulating power of the Lord of Life had an effect. Of course, even so, Clara-sama is amazing for being able to handle sacred arts so skillfully.”

Then they all looked at each other and nodded.

“Yep. As the Yandel student said, we’ll talk about the details later… Shall we go back for now?”

As Iona lightly waved her arms, a large magic circle floated beneath her party’s feet.

After waiting for the magic to complete for a while, Clara quietly raises her hand and opens her mouth.

-Ah, I’ll stop going in now. I’m a little tired…

After saying that, Clara melted into thin air and disappeared. However, it didn’t fly away, it just stopped projecting.

The main body still remained in the medallion, casting soft light.

This would be nice as a mood light.

It took a while to think such extravagant thoughts. Her eyes met Helena’s, who put her hands together in front of her chest and looked at her anxiously.

He smiled and handed me the medallion, looking like a cat calmly waiting to be fed.

Of course, she didn’t forget to check her status window before that.

Tring!

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

【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.

Just remember this too.

That salvation comes to those who believe.

-Can charge divine power (current remaining 12%)

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

– Divine power efficiency increased by 20%

-20% positive correction to all sacred arts

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

-For a short time, you can borrow the power of the memory contained in the medallion.

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

A little bit of explanatory text added. And the efficiency increase option that jumped 2 times, and a new option called sacred art correction.

Above all, even the unusual last option of borrowing memories.

Quite a lot of reinforcement has been achieved for just adding one plus.

It’s because it went from being a good weapon to use in the early to mid-game, to a weapon that can be used usefully in the second half.

More than anything.

“Even if you don’t show up like before, you should be able to talk to Clara-sama. As a senior saintess, she said she would teach you this and that, so learn it well.”

“… It should be. I will cherish it because it is a relationship that my brothers have connected. And I will try to be a little more helpful in your cause.”

Helena said that with a determined expression. Then, he gently thrusts her head in this direction.

Are you just asking me to walk and not hold you? It’s not going to happen.

As if to hug Helena, he reached her arm behind her neck and hung the medallion around her neck.

As if asking what the hell this is, the medallion was flickering, but… Well, Helena will explain it well from here on out.

I accidentally tapped the nose of the lion sculpture engraved on the medallion and dropped my body.

Then, Helena, who was smiling gently with her eyes slightly lowered, was suddenly startled, and her face turned red as it was, and began to giggle toward the medallion.

I don’t know what the hell she’s talking about, but for a while she watched Helena’s complexion change from moment to moment.

Before I knew it, Iona’s magic was completed.

“Then let’s go!”

Hwaaak-!

A dark red flash staining the vision. When I closed my eyes for a while and opened them, instead of the desert, the vacant lot where we first started welcomed us.

In just a few minutes, it leaped that far and returned home. Also, magic is the best.

However, Iona was staggering limply as if she had exhausted her mana excessively.

“Are you okay, Professor?”

“Ugh… If you drink the blood of a Yandel student, maybe you’ll get better…”

Although she recovered with vampirism halfway through, in other words, she was able to recover, so she was Iona, who fought without sparing her magic.

In addition, teleport is originally a tactical magic that several wizards work together to complete.

Thinking that it was time to drink, she slipped her collar down, and Iona, whining like her child, clung to her quickly.

She asked Iris, who brushed off the sand from her clothes, thinking that there was no need to drink the potion because the sunlight was shining.

“Iris Iris.”

“Hmm? What’s the matter, Master?”

“Can’t you teleport or something?”

“I can.”

“Oh! Then, let’s take turns teleporting next time.”

“… But it takes about 30 minutes to prepare.”

“… Oh I mean she was 3?”

“That’s what Iona is weird about.”

With her cheeks puffed out, she resolutely shook her head, Iris. Well, that’s not wrong.

Even when playing H&A, using teleport lavishly has been possible since the Archmage.

As she nodded, Iona, who had been listening to our story, secretly pulled out her fangs.

“You know, you know. In fact, I just forcibly shortened her time by pouring more of her mana into it! After all, mana will recover quickly if you drink blood!”

“Ah.”

It would be most efficient to directly vampirize like now, but even if it wasn’t, a blood transfusion pack would be more effective than a lot of mana potions for vampires.

It was just pouring mana on the premise of recovering.

Iris, who has the classic magician’s way of thinking to minimize risk, opened her mouth.

Then she started trembling and making strange noises.

“I-I’ll be able to do it too if I suck the master’s mana!”

Saying that, Iris lifted one of my fingers and roughly inserted it into my mouth.

However, because of the slave imprint, she couldn’t bear to bite and hurt her, so she just started sucking her finger.

It was a while to play with the tongue that was flinching inside the desperate Iris.

Helena, who was talking with Gilbert, came over.

“Then first we will go to the Pope.”

“Ah, that’s right. There will be many things to report.”

“It is. Would you like to come with your brother? If you’re tired, it’s okay to just rest. After all, everything important is here.”

Helena smiles softly, waving her medallion around her own neck.

But. Clara is over there, and if you need to, you can summon the righteous light with the Spirit, so there is no need to go with a group.

“Then, I’ll go rest like this, relying on your consideration. If you need anything, please come to me anytime.”

“Yes. Then we’ll see you at dinner.”

“Good.”

After briefly saying hello to Helena, I went back to the VIP room with Iris and Iona hanging around.

Now that she’s come a long way, it’s her turn to give Faye her souvenir.

Looking at the corpses of each type of chimera in her inventory, she naturally smiles happily.

… To be honest, I’m looking forward to Fei’s bust morphing, which I like after receiving this.
