Chapter 272 – Righteous Light (3)

The righteous Gwangmyeong and his followers slaying monsters while using their holy power.

Maybe it’s because all the cultists who are like commanders are dead? Attacked monsters rushed in disorder or, on the contrary, broke the formation while running away.

Thanks to that, I was able to break through much more easily and bring Iris and the others back.

But was it too much? The righteous light who returned with the party looked quite tired.

The others who followed were not killed, but they seem to have suffered major and minor injuries.

Even in the midst of this, when our eyes met, the righteous light smirked while still covered in blood.

“How is it? Wasn’t it cool?”

“It wasn’t a joke.”

“Then my apostle… No, do you want to be the Pope?”

“… That’s a bit.”

Righteous Kwangmyeong giggled once and then yawned when he was shyly rejected.

“I’m kidding. Anyway, I think I need to rest today, so I’ll go in first. I told you beforehand, so I’m staying with my colleagues in the VIP room I used last time. The next day… Here. Clara will do it.”

“Yes? Yes…”

After accepting the medallion containing Clara, I turned around and headed for the exit of the chapel.

Judging by the slight staggering of her steps, she must be going to rest right away.

Other believers also noticed this, but couldn’t bear to touch it. The old woman who came with Iris… Gertrude hurriedly supported the righteous light.

It seems that there is only one woman, Gertrude, among the high-ranking priests.

The righteous light who was about to return to Gertrude’s room, as if half-reclining, suddenly turned his head and looked this way.

“Right. Let’s do the rest of Yandel’s treatment when Helena wakes up. Shouldn’t I just say that her body is fine and rest quietly for a few days?”

“… Why is everyone looking at me like someone eager to buy me?”

There is no one with common sense and sense like me.

For some reason, not only Io, who was right next to me, but also the other women who were approaching me hesitated at my grumbling, but pretended not to see her and nodded their heads.

“Anyway, I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll be resting.”

“Kreung… Glad then See you all tomorrow!”

The righteous light that vanishes while waving its arms toward the followers. It looked very friendly, but the believers only politely crossed themselves.

It seems that my faith has grown stronger.

But. He came to the battlefield with the god he worshiped. Religion is enough to fill up.

However, the church members who did not try to raise their heads even if the appearance of righteous light completely disappeared.

Do you think this is enough? The medallion, which had been quiet until now, began to glow with a slight vibration.

As if she had been there from the beginning, Clara, who naturally lifted herself up, clapped lightly.

No, I couldn’t hear the applause because it was a welcome, but I pretended to be like that and shouted.

-Now! Just make it there. There are a lot of injured people, so we need to treat them first. Severely injured people are treated first, even if they squeeze out the remaining divine power, and the recovery of lightly injured people is…

“Oh, leave that to me. I brought a lot of potions.”

-Yes? But to restore this number of people, wouldn’t it be better to enlist the help of the priests who took care of the refugees?”

“Do not worry. Because I really brought a lot.”

I opened my inventory and poured out a full potion. To a certain extent, the pile of potions was piled up to my waist.

She shrugged at Clara, who opened her mouth and pouted.

“It’s an intermediate level potion, but since you said it’s a minor injury, it should be enough. Oh, and you might need this too.”

-Yes? What else are you trying to get out of here…

This time, I took out a box of advanced potions.

Clara stopped talking and kept her mouth shut at the design of the bottle, which looked distinctly more luxurious than the potion from earlier.

“For recovery, divine power is the best, but… Are you all tired now? If you use the potion together, you will be able to save divine power.”

-Uh, that… Thank you?

Oops. There’s still a lot left to bruise.

Then, he took out various special potions he had brought from Fay.

“This is a poison that works well for greenskins. It is also harmful to humans, so be sure to throw it out of the barrier. Orcs should be able to tidy things up.”

“The requirement is a medicine that makes the troll’s regenerative power go wild and turns it into a lump of pus. There aren’t many, so use it for mutant trolls, not just trolls. However, it is effective only if you feed it yourself, so either suppress your limbs and feed it, or aim well and throw it.”

“Next is a flash grenade… Cyclops tend to hesitate when they are blind, so use them in case of danger. Conversely, the Minotaur rushes excitedly when it is dazzled, so be careful.”

“This is the last one… It’s not used for combat, it’s glue made by melting Trap Spider’s thread. First of all, if you roughly erect the collapsed wall with this, we will connect it with magic. Even if it is less than a proper repair work, it will fulfill the role of a windbreak.”

In an instant, Clara swallowed at the heap of supplies. There was something belatedly reminded of that appearance, so I opened the closed inventory again.

“Oops. I forgot this.”

Chin.

Five large sacks laid on the floor.

-… What else is this?

“Bread. I prepared because I thought I would not have enough food to accept refugees. First of all, I wiped out the bakery near the academy, but I only bought stock without notice, so it’s not that much.”

-But I can eat this for about four days?! I’ve heard that spatial magic has developed beyond compare to the era I lived in, but I never thought something like this would be possible… !

Clara was so moved that she put her hands together and said a short prayer.

Then, just like the righteous light did before, he jumped and jumped for joy.

-Oh my god! When you need it, it’s hard to bring the things you need! It seems that the face that I usually enjoy seeing is shining today! Can I give you a kiss now?

“What if there is no reality?”

Knowing it was a joke, we laughed at each other, but here’s one. There was a person whose jokes didn’t go well.

“Oh, no… !”

Due to the atmosphere, Iris couldn’t bring her words out, and Iris, who had just circled around me and expressed her delight, jumped up.

Then, while blocking my way, she waved her short arm and pretended to stop Clara from approaching.

“The owner… That is… Ugh… The owner… !”

But I guess I couldn’t think of what to say to stop it.

Clara shook her head with a gentle smile at Iris’s whining, to the point that steam came out of her hair.

-Don’t worry. I am the ghost of a past era that has already passed away. You may or may not be associated with a person living in the present.

“… Is it really?”

– Yes. There really isn’t any reality.

“But that…”

-Are you saying that you’re too pitiful for staying in this world at most?

“…”

Silent Iris. But this in itself was an answer.

– It is a miracle that I exist in this era in the first place. Wanting more than this would be greed. … Above all, there is a reason why I cannot intervene even if I am given a body. No, should I say it happens?

“?”

Iris, who was constantly tilting her head at the dubious answer, was lifted up and held in her arms.

These days, even if you hug it, it doesn’t resist, but it’s a small body that sag as if it’s been waiting. She patted Iris on the back and gently shook the medallion she had just received.

“Well, if she was happy with it, that was it. Anyway, since I’ve handed over everything I want to pass on, I’d like to take a break with my friends… How far is this range? Since the righteous light entrusted it to me, isn’t it a little too much to hand it over to someone else?”

-The radius of the medallion is a few meters. Still, you don’t have to wait for me. Coincidentally, I also ran out of divine power, so I had to give instructions and go back in.

“… Didn’t you fully charge it before going out?”

-That’s… Embarrassingly, I also got a little excited and let out a few light explosions…

“…”

Come to think of it, no matter how docile she may seem, Clara was also a righteous disciple of light. She is also a former saintess.

It was probably using the divine power explosion option attached to the medallion.

Like the story of the Ego Sword moving freely and cutting the enemy, does it feel like the Ego Medallion released divine power at will?

“Ah, I see. Then, I will wait a little longer, so please finish slowly.”

-Thank you. Then wait.

Nodding her head, Clara told Pope Albaor something of her story, and they crossed themselves and returned.

But. This is what the pope is supposed to do.

There was a god who descended on the saintess’ body, or an existence like the thoughts of the saintess from the past, so she took a step back, but Albaor was the undisputed leader of the Church of Light.

As soon as Clara returned, she entered the medallion, leaving her word that tomorrow would bring it to the righteous light.

We also exchanged simple greetings with Albaor and Gilbert, entered the VIP room, and fell asleep as if fainting.

And the next day.

As soon as I got the Medallion back from me, Righteous Gwangmyeong jumped out and ran away with the monsters.

It’s ridiculous.
