Chapter 279 – The Turning Point (2)

Orcs have poor specs unless they are mutants, and trolls are cowardly guys… Ogres are different.

Because ogres, who can be said to be the pinnacle of greenskins, have all the strengths of other races.

The cunning of a goblin, the valor of an orc, and even considerable regenerative power, if not as much as that of a troll.

In addition to that, its enormous weight, immense muscle strength, and thick, tough leather were blessed with a reckless roar, and even equipped with aura resistance.

A monster that is the lord of close combat and the disaster of knights.

So what is that ogre doing now?

“Kwoaaaaa!!”

Are attacking in reverse

Unbelievable considering the ferocious nature of ogres. This wasn’t just an ogre thing.

Not to mention the orcs, who are said to be brave, but may actually have anger dysregulation, and the trolls, who never turn their backs until they feel threatened beyond their ability to regenerate.

Even the Cyclops, who has a bad brain but can’t match anyone in terms of strength, and even the Minotaur, who has a one-tool rushing but can’t help but admit one toughness.

They were running away without a single exception!

Everyone in this place hesitated for a moment at the sight of a green ebb tide.

“… I’ve spent my whole life catching and killing cultists and monsters, but I’ve never seen anything like this.”

A white haired old man. The Pope shrugged his shoulders at Albaor’s words.

“You will see it often from now on. As the Holy Father knows well, the nature of monsters is ferocious… High cultists close to evil spirits can enforce orders beyond their very nature.”

“I’ve never seen anything like that before…”

“Because I didn’t show it. It must have been intended to make it feel as if the evil spirit had been sealed away and the detailed control of the monsters had become impossible.”

“That sounds like they’ve been hiding their power all this time.”

“Yes. That’s right. For the past 300 years, I’ve been thoroughly hiding in the shadows and pretending to be weak… They’ve regained all their former powers long ago. No, it might be stronger in that we have planted Sejak here.”

“Huh. Then the reason they’ve been hiding all this time is…”

“Yes. As you might have guessed, they prioritized the advent of evil spirits. What matters to them is not their own victory, but the victory of the evil god.”

If an all-out war had occurred, it would have eaten half of the continent. Maybe even occupy more than that.

However, the human side is not stupid either, so it will not stand still. They will try to defend the seal of the evil god by replacing all capital and human resources.

Cultists and monsters are opponents that can be defeated no matter how overwhelming they are, but evil gods are an uncontrollable asymmetric force.

What if even one of the good gods succeeds in descending? Even if that’s not the case, what if you download the apostle?

At that time, the beginning of the counterattack will rise.

Evil spirits and cultists have been wary of this possibility and have been hiding their powers until now.

After winning almost all of them, they didn’t forget the past when they were sealed by Hero Rahim.

“… Then, the fact that they raised an army on a large scale means that the coming of the evil spirit is imminent.”

“Probably not.”

They say that they accelerated the plan, but they just quickly brought about what they had been preparing for.

The release rate of the evil god seal will not be much different. … Maybe.

In reality, it is possible to forcefully break through the seal even with a little bit of strength, and even if the power of the cult is reduced due to large-scale human sacrifice, the evil spirit can come out early.

I have to keep in mind that I know the scenario of H&A, but I cannot read the future.

What… The reason they showed up in such a hurry must be because of Helena and me.

Their plans went wrong several times because of me, and the existence of the saintess who appeared faster than expected must have made them impatient.

“But what is certain is that this Siege of Solaris will be a turning point of some sort.”

“Yes. Even if it’s not until the evil god descends, now that we’ve revealed our hidden potential, the cultists will start to stir in earnest.”

While Albaor let out a sigh. All of the Paladins and Combat Priests were gathering and forming a rank.

Albaor, who glanced at the figure, continued with a determined tone.

“However, even so, what we have to do does not change. To make the world a better place to live by punishing cultists, monsters, and evil. That is our Lord’s will and our will.”

Albaor changed his last name to say hello and headed to the head of the ranks.

It was a very cool looking back of the same man. … To the point where I inadvertently looked at Helena next to me.

Helena, holding the medallion with both hands, closes her eyes atop a makeshift castle made of shattered rubble and magic.

She had the appearance of a pious saint, as if drawn in a painting, but her lips, which were constantly moving, were not reciting her prayers.

Senses sharpened thanks to drinking a set of simple doping potions before the battle. A faint murmur was heard between them.

“I know very well that maces are more effective than sacred arts for me now. But what do you mean by something really difficult? Even now, the strength in the legs seems to be released. … Yes? How does Clara, who died as a virgin, know that? What about other people? But they didn’t do it with Brother Yandel, did they? Brother… It’s a monster. Monster on the bed. Isn’t the reason why I woke up so early right now because the righteous light completely fainted? … Huh! How can you say that my body is simply erotic? It’s not that I’m naughty, it’s Brother Yandel who is naughty! I’ll somehow let Clara-sama know… I beg your pardon? Is it sexual harassment? Clara-sama started first, right?”

Hmm. It’s nice to see that you and Clara are doing well. It might seem like you’re getting along too well.

After looking at Albaor’s short speech and explanation of the situation for a while, I headed to the place where Helena was with the party.

Helena hurriedly muttered an ordinary prayer as soon as she sensed the presence of this side. It was probably discovered by Elisha and Iris, though no one else knew about it.

The high elves’ senses are sensitive enough to be similar to mine in an enhanced state.

In fact, Elisha’s face was flushed red, and Iris was nodding her head as if she understood everything.

She tapped Helena on the shoulder and opened her mouth.

“Helena?”

“Crossing the dark valley… Yes? Brother? What are you doing?”

The corners of her mouth twitched at the sight of Helena acting as if nothing had happened. She barely contained it and pointed down at her.

“It looks like we’re leaving soon, so we have to go down too.”

“Ah, I must have been too absorbed in prayer. Thanks to that, my holy power has been completely restored, so I can fight anytime.”

Helena smiles and tucks the medallion she was holding into her dress.

As if Clara was trying to say something of hers, the medallion buzzed and vibrated… Helena tapped her and it quickly became quiet.

What. What happened between you just now?

Helena takes the lead in crossing me, who is bewildered. She turned in front of her steps and looked this way.

“By the way… How about granting wishes only for the first prize? Of course, on the condition that you can refuse really unreasonable requests.”

“Huh. Do you really want to bet?”

“Sure. Is there something I really want to ask my brother? Would you like to join us?”

At that, the reaction of the party was divided.

“Great! Sounds like fun! If I win, tell the master… Lol…”

“Oh? Are large-scale battles like this the main stage for wizards?”

“Um… I’m a bit attracted too…”

“Stop it, stop it. Kids are playing, but adults don’t get involved!”

Karla and Elisha were positive, but Iris and Iona were negative.

But. Kara, Elisha and I are still middle-ranking wizards, and Helena is also a saint, but she is just beginning to realize her power.

But in the meantime, a mature high-ranking wizard intervenes? Isn’t that a bit careless?

Iris blows a lot of air into her cheeks and inflates them. Poke Iris’s cheek and said.

“What the hell did you try to do for me to be so disappointed?”

“Geez. It’s nothing special, but I wanted you to make an elf-style oath the next time you sleep with your master.”

“An elven oath?”

“To put it simply, it’s a proposal.”

“Oh…”

I think you know what

Is that the line that always appears at the end of the elf heroine route?

Recalling the memory of the time, Iris nodded her head alone, wondering what she was thinking.

“Although it is an oath, there is no coercion! It’s even better because there isn’t…”

“Okay.”

“It’s just a simple romance… Yes?”

“I got it. Not now, but I’ll try it later when I get a chance. Instead, Iris, you should let me play the way I want… How is it?”

“Is that okay?”

“There is nothing wrong with it. But…”

“But?”

He smiled at Iris, who tilted his head, and nodded his head.

“Waaaaa-!”
“Kill the fleeing monster!”
“The Mace of Righteous Light!”
“The only good monster is a dead monster!”

Soon after, shouts and bloody cries are heard.

He said as he looked at the paladin, who ran out of the barrier and rapidly approached the group of retreating monsters.

“Let’s focus on the battle for now.”

Paladins who ran much faster than words, no matter what they did. It seems to be enough to catch up with monsters that have slowed down due to rushing by.

I didn’t expect you to run away already while we were talking about something else.

Anyway, since the betting has begun, there is only one thing to do.

“I’ll go first!”

I grabbed my body with psychokinesis magic and threw it at the greenskins who fled into the sky.

Even though it’s a bit stiff, it’s faster than normal flying magic.

Before I knew it, a belated scream was heard from the distant wall of the castle.

“Master! That’s a foul! Half profit!”

“You Yandel! I have to start when I’m bored. There’s no point in running out alone… !

“Brother?! I, the righteous Gwangmyeong! Anything please!”

Naturally, I was the winner of the bet.

Hi-Hi.
