Chapter 264 – I’m Going to See You Now

“The righteous light has sent me here!”

Let’s put it roughly like that.

I could feel the bewildered stares from the other women, but my expression didn’t shake that much.

Wouldn’t it be okay to come to an agreement with the righteous Gwangmyeong himself later?

The clergy stopped at my confident attitude without hesitation. Still, for a while, I raised my divine power and glared at him.

“Um… ? That!”
“It’s new! It’s the sacred thing of our school!”
“Hurry up and reap the sword! I can feel his protection!”

Not long after, I noticed the shining lion dagger and the protection of the sun god dwelling on me, and immediately let go of my guard.

Hmm. Priests like this. As soon as you feel the energy of the god you worship, you immediately let go of your guard.

As I smiled and lowered the dagger, the priest who appeared to be the representative from the other side came forward.

A gray-haired woman who has passed middle age and is beginning to enter old age. She must have held a fairly high position, judging from the religious symbol embroidered with her gold thread on her priestly robe.

She greeted me first, crossing her last name.

“May the sun shine on your future. My name is Gertrude, an obscure servant of the righteous Gwangmyeong. Are you sure you are not Yandel-sama?”

“You’re right. If you know about me, the story will be quick. The Righteous Light whispered with light. Come here.”

“… Yes?”

Gertrude is bewildered, perhaps because she skipped greetings and went straight to the main topic, or because the story of righteous light came out.

She didn’t give what she thought and she took precedence over her words.

“Thanks to the saintess who opened the barrier at the right time, she is blocking it well… Cultists also have a trump card. At this rate, the barrier will be broken.”

“The number of spleens… You mean that tent.”

“You’re right. Reinforcements are on their way, but it will take some time. We have to stop the ceremony in it.”

“… Is it possible? Going through that monster?”

“Sure. Would I have received the protection of the righteous Gwangmyeong for nothing, even though I was not a church member? This is something I’ve done many times before. There are also operations. Can you help me?”

“…”

Even though there was not enough time to accept anything else, Gertrude kept her mouth shut and was silent for a while, as if she understood the last words properly.

After a while, he opened his mouth in a calm voice.

“We were also at odds over what that suspicious veil was, whether we should wait for reinforcements and join them, or whether we should somehow confirm its identity.”

Wasn’t that the sight of them arguing just a moment ago?

“Are you certain that the veil will break the barrier? Did the righteous Kwangmyeong-nim tell you that…”

“It is not. As for consciousness, that’s my guess. However, given the Fallen plan they had been preparing until recently, the reason they persisted even though they knew they couldn’t break through in time with normal methods, and the fact that they raised their forces properly rather than stabbing them once, I judged that it was highly likely.”

“Plan to fall?!”

I thought a high priest would have listened to the pope’s tip… I guess I didn’t know that reaction.

Gertrude, who quickly calmed down her embarrassment, glanced back. She and the other paladins and priests whose eyes met her nodded at her.

Gertrude, who looked this way with her eyes that grew even heavier, opened her mouth.

“It may be dangerous… That’s enough. We are happy to help. What are we going to do?”

“Thank you. I will explain from now on.”

***

Is it because of the gods and blessings? Or is it because the purpose is in line with their faith?

Paladins and priests listened to me really well. While Iris and Iona were setting up the magic circle, I checked it out a bit, and it seems that her skills are also good.

There was only one high-ranking priest, Gertrude, but as befits the righteous members of the Church of Light who are skilled in combat, there were more than enough for one person.

So, in terms of wizards, it feels like there are a lot of middle level wizards with one high level wizard? However, unfortunately, there were not many people who could follow me and Iona.

First of all, Gertrude, a high-ranking priest, had the ability, but the fact that he was a priest with an elderly body and relatively poor physical training was a hindrance.

Although it can be offset to some extent by applying a buff… It wasn’t enough to keep up with me and Iona, who moved with all their might.

For the same reason, the Priests decided to stay here to protect Iris, and all that remains is the Paladins…

Among them, excluding a few newcomers who lacked relatively experience and skills, there were only four people left.

Well, originally, Iona and Iona were going to charge alone, so even 4 of us could sense it.

By the time I shared the strategy with them and finished the final inspection. Slowly, the other side seemed to be ready as well, and Karla crept closer.

“Master. The installation of the magic circle is complete.”

“Okay? It’s perfect.”

Since we left early in the morning, it was now lunch time. In other words, it means close to noon.

This is the time when the protection of the righteous light, which is also the sun god, is strongest.

Blue sky. After staring at the sun floating in the center for a while, I headed towards the place where Iris was.

“O master. This one is ready.”

“Neither do we.”

I smiled and looked at the magic circle drawn on the floor.

The size was bigger than expected. Would it be about 7m in diameter? However, looking at the pattern tightly packed in that wide circle, my head naturally gets dizzy.

It was such a complex magic circle, but… It was intuitively clear that all of this was connected to the staff installed in the center.

After looking at the light of dawn that Rebecca had lent her, she asked Iris.

“When will it be operational?”

“I can do it right now.”

“Good.”

Gently stroking Iris’ hair, she looked at the two who were assisting her.

“Carla, Elisha. You too be careful If they knew that the bombardment was coming from here, they would come in droves.”

“The priests said they would set up a barrier, so don’t worry about this, Master!”

“Is it so. Isn’t it more dangerous for you to clear the road than here in the first place?”

“Well, this one is fine. You will know when you see it.”

I’ve been trying to get really sick of hunting greenskins.

Finally, they headed to Gertrude, who was huddled together with her priests and preparing for a joint sacred art.

“May I ask for your blessing before we go?”

“Of course. Here.”

Gertrude, who buffed not only me and Iona, but also the paladins. She’s not as good as the sainted Helena, but I think she’ll be just below that level.

The only thing left to do with this is to rush at the right timing. Just in case, Iona asked, showing the nape of her neck.

“Would you like to suck more?”

“Stop! Stop! Don’t flirt before battle! It’s okay because I have both my magic attribute and stamina! Instead, should I let them wash a lot later?”

“It seems like I usually drink as much as I want, but… All right. I’ll make sure you eat until your stomach bursts.”

“Omg! You just had a bit of a naughty thing, Yandel student.”

“… Where are you going?”

I smiled and looked straight ahead. The green wave still boasts an overwhelming amount.

But I wasn’t too afraid. Because there were things that bothered me more than that.

A huge divine barrier that covered the Great Hall. A red curtain has already covered more than half of it.

In the meantime, I watched the speed at which the curtain went up. It was faster than I thought. At this rate, it would have been completed in three days.

Of course, that won’t happen.

I took out an intimidating mask and an invisibility robe from my inventory and put them on and said to the paladins lined up behind me.

“Let’s go.”

Sereung.

The sound of a weapon being drawn. I also raised my physical abilities with Blood Force.

Pounding!

Enormous mana emitted from the heart extends to the extremities of the limbs. A sense that each cell is awakened.

Blood Force is magic that strengthens the body by dissolving mana directly into blood. Is that why? Now that the core is integrated with the heart, it is much more efficient.

I jumped off the cliff, feeling the vitality filling my whole body.

“Suck!”

Iona and the paladins threw their bodies at once after me.

It’s obvious, but I’m not trying to commit suicide.

“Levitation.”

Simple floating magic. However, the magic that has become much more delicate than before and can cover multiple people at once spreads around me.

Huung-

Those who had fallen as if they were about to crash into the ground at any moment stepped on the ground as lightly as feathers.

At the same time, a mighty flow of magical power felt from above, and the sound of reciting sutras. I guess that’s where it started.

But there was no time to listen to it. Because we were kicking the ground a long time ago.

Pababat!

Distance from monsters that are rapidly approaching. Their features, which were just like green waves, gradually become clearer.

Even the dullest Orcs would notice if they rushed openly like this.

Some guys in the rear opened their eyes wide when they saw this. The moment you want to shout out to those around you.

Aaaaang!

Suddenly, a ball of fire fell from the sky and blew away the surrounding area along with the quick-witted orcs.

An empty, open road. Dozens of pairs of pupils stare at me from behind the residual heat and black smoke rising like a haze.

Be brutal

… So you have to return the same.

Let’s blow a lot of mana into the mask, and the mana that spreads like a heavy force field oppresses them.

Thud!

Snow falling quickly to the ground. Not like a warlike Orc, trembling is not a normal state.

Obvious status abnormalities beyond simple hesitation.

Originally, it was a magic tool made to be used to set the mood… With magic power, this is possible.

He raised a smirk at the frozen guys.

“It’s all over.”

Infinite Stun Gaza!
