Chapter 271 – Righteous Light (2)

Right after the roar of righteous light.

The paladins and priests inside the temple began to gather one by one, as if that was a signal.

As if they were all waiting for this moment, all of them were emitting a shapely look, and at that appearance, the righteous light laughed in vain.

“I guess I underestimated my children.”

– Originally, in the eyes of parents, children look dissatisfied.

Clara shrugs.

I know that I am going to fight from now on. Even if it’s difficult to wipe out monsters with this much power, it should be possible enough to bring the isolated Iris party.

There was just one thing that bothered me.

“Excuse me… Righteous Gwangmyeong?”

“Ugh. Yandel? I know you want to fight with me… Is it really dangerous now? There will be many opportunities to kill monsters in the future. So let’s take a break this time. Huh?”

A troubled expression and a relaxed tone, as if exhorting a child. Do you really see me as someone eager to fight at all costs?

What the hell does this church think of me, from believers to gods?

He sighed lightly and corrected the illusion of righteous light.

“No. I know very well that I need to rest now. Just… I want to say hello to Helena before we go to fight.”

“Ah, um, uh, that’s it…”

Righteous Gwangmyeong scratched his cheek with an awkward expression and averted his gaze.

“I thought it was the last time, so I put Helena to sleep deeply by using some of her remaining strength so that Helena wouldn’t suffer? But I guess I slept too deeply…”

“When do you get up?”

“Three days at least?”

“…”

Sleep anesthesia will wake up sooner than that.

When I looked at it, I couldn’t stand it anymore, but the righteous light wagging its tail and shaking its head at the same time.

“I don’t know! I don’t know! I would have known it would be like this! Even if they are gods, they are not really omniscient?!”

– Lord. Nobody said anything

“Kreung… Oh, anyway! I’ll be back, so don’t overdo it and watch me bring the other kids over there!”

After saying that, yank! He bowed his head and headed towards the crowd of paladins and priests, the righteous light.

By saying a few words, the already fierce morale that was already piercing the sky began to be further encouraged.

As I stared blankly at it, I heard a familiar voice next to me.

“Also, too. Is religion great? When you see such an overwhelming gap, you don’t shrink, but when you see that you like it!”

“Professor Iona? Are you not hurt anywhere?”

“Yep. I got scratches here and there, but I’m a vampire! You’ve recovered a long time ago! What about Yandel students? Looking at it earlier, there wasn’t much blood and no fuss.”

“Fortunately, the righteous Gwangmyeong healed him himself. However, they say that it is not completely better, so you should rest now and receive proper treatment later.”

“Yes, yes? You mean it can be cured anyway?”

“Yes.”

“That’s it!”

Iona smiled brightly, then she took me in her arms and jumped all the way to the top of the rubble.

“Eww?!”

She dropped me off in shock and sat down in a suitable seat. Then she started pounding her own thighs.

“Ruler!”

“?”

“Lie down! Is it hard to stand up?”

“Uh… I’m fine, but will the professor be all right? You must be tired from fighting until just now.”

“Actually, this is a problem that can be solved immediately by sucking the blood of a Yandel student, but… You say you need to rest now? So I’ll be patient! Instead, there should be a reward like this!”

Ohna Lee taps her thighs again, saying that I am good and I am good Winwin.

No matter who destroyed the wall, the remains are large and neat, so it doesn’t seem uncomfortable to lie down. It actually feels like a stone bed when you lie down.

Malang.

Well, the pillow was soft and chewy.

As she lay down and took a breath, she felt the touch of a thin finger on the side of her head.

Iona was gently stroking my hair. She sometimes fidgets with her ears.

Indeed. Is this why she said she would enjoy it too?

She smiled inwardly and looked in front of her. Maybe it’s because I’m up high, I can see far away.

Thanks to that, Iris and the others could be seen fighting. To be more precise, I saw the magic they use.

Since you can draw out mana, they are all gorgeous and powerful magics. The problem is that there are more monsters than that.

Dozens of small monsters at once. Even the larger ones are wiping out three or four, but… The problem is the large monsters.

It’s only natural that they have thick skin since they’re big guys, and since they’ve received the protection of a reckless roar, there’s no such thing as a living tank.

Even from afar, it’s devastating to see a group of guys who can barely inflict fatal wounds if they hit it with high-level magic.

But don’t worry. Support will come soon.

Looking down, I saw the members of the church, each holding a weapon and shouting.

No matter how you look at it, it’s too ugly to be a priest, but… I can’t be so reassured now.

“Let’s go!!”

As the righteous light shouted and ran out of the barrier, other paladins and priests screamed and followed behind.

Fanaticism with a different feeling from the cultists who sacrificed themselves without hesitation.

However, I was a little worried because the power difference was full… It wasn’t long before I realized that I was worrying for nothing.

The righteous light wasn’t stupid enough to repeat the mistake of saving power in front of enemies twice.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t distinguish kindness from heartlessness enough to disregard the believers’ resolve.

So what does this mean… It is said that the righteous light that focuses only on the enemy in front of you is fucking strong.

“Keuhuhhh-!”

A loud cry that can be heard from here.

In the past, he was called the King of the Mountains, and today he was so powerful that even the ogre, who is called the Knight Slayer due to his high Aura resistance, flinched.

Of course, the righteous light did not miss this.

Quaang!

An intense crash sound as if it had been in a car accident. It was the sound of the righteous light, which had accelerated at the same speed as the first run, or even accelerated midway through, as it shoulder tackled the ogre’s leg.

“Kwoaaaaa… !”

The guy grabs his leg while groaning in pain. The righteous light jumped without missing the gap.

Perong!

Mace swung with the sound of air bursting. The hamstrings on the ogre’s intact leg shattered, and pieces of bone slashed through the hide and protruded.

“Kaaaaagh!!”

Screams of pain in the world. An ogre with broken legs should be able to clean it up with just a few strokes of the mace.

However, the righteous light did not do that. I just slipped past him and ran towards the other monster that was running right next to me.

At first, the goal was to break through, so I wondered if it was to save time… I soon found out that this wasn’t the case.

It was because I had seen the Paladins who had been following me one beat behind me like a swarm of ants and hacking at the fallen ogre.

The defense of the evil spirit’s protection was easily pierced by divine power, and the vitality that came from its large size was in tatters in an instant.

Watching the decapitated ogre with his whole body covered in blood in that moment, admiration flows out naturally.

“And… It turned, really.”

“What. Is this the first time you’ve seen a Yandel student fight properly while being so close to the Church of Light?”

“Yes. I knew it in my head, but seeing it in person is no joke.”

In H&A, when you take refuge in the righteous light or increase your faction affinity and rise to the position of a major collaborator, events that fight with the people of the light church often occur.

Thanks to that, I’ve seen a few times how the members of the Church of Light fight when they get together, not just one of the party members.

Come over the monitor! Righteous Daguri! I was giggling at this… In fact, it’s pretty bloody to laugh at.

Is it because the momentum of rushing forward with eyes reddened is transmitted all the way here?

I don’t know if it’s after the physical strength and holy power are gone, but I don’t think the current righteous light and its church members will lose.

Since there are still civilians who have fled from Daishinjeon, the barrier is being maintained, so this side is also safe.

For that reason, I began to enjoy the righteous battle of light as if I were watching a movie after relaxing the tension I had maintained so far.

Like taking the head of a Minotaur rushing forward with its horns raised, stopping it, then turning it sideways and killing it instantly.

Receiving the Cyclops’ huge fist with one hand wasn’t enough, pulling the guy’s arm as it was and inserting a mace into his big eye.

At first glance, it may seem like a very ignorant push, but… This would be the most efficient way for the righteous light who decided not to spare their strength.

As a saint, Helena’s body can draw all the holy power of righteous light, but now that she is in a spiritual state, even her output has gone up.

And because her body strengthening using her divine power is a structure that passes all her burdens to the gods, there is no burden on Helena’s body.

In other words, if you put your mind to it, it is possible to deal with large monsters.

… I won’t be able to fight for long.

Since the spirit itself puts a strain on Helena’s body, it would be impossible for her to continue fighting with all her power for hours, unless it’s in everyday life.

But what… Looking at the momentum right now, as expected, it must be more than enough to bring Iris.

It took a while to cheer for the righteous Gwangmyeong by munching on beef jerky from the inventory.

Iona suddenly pinched my cheek.

“Aww! … Would you like one?”

“Yep. I’ll ask for something to drink.”

I gave him tomato juice and he was pinched once more.

Why… ?
