“what… ?”
The embarrassment lasted only for a moment. Valerie soon frowned and chewed.
“I owe you a debt, so I will forgive you for your rudeness, stranger. But not twice. Go away. “You have no right to participate in a sacred duel.”
He looked down at Urd again without hearing an answer. And then he tried to hit him with his raised fist. Ian was still clutching his wrist, but it didn’t matter. No matter how good a monster hunter you are, differences in innate strength are inevitable.
There was also an intention to avenge the humiliation of just now by leaving the guy lying on the floor.
“… … ?!”
However, the fist seemed to go forward, but returned to its original position due to strong repulsion.
Absurdly, I couldn’t shake off this stranger’s hand.
“It’s like this… .”
Ian muttered softly.
Valerie’s face turned red with anger. The thought that I had to kill this guy followed.
Of course, I had no intention of fighting one-on-one. Even though he looks like he would be crushed if he was hit with a fist, he is the one who killed the white devil single-handedly.
However, this person was now ignoring not only himself but also tradition.
A cause enough for all warriors to rush in. Moreover, any warriors he knew would have already jumped up and grabbed their weapons.
First, I planned to give that arrogant face a punch and then make him pay for the insult.
“You really need to die… . … … ?!”
Until I saw Ian’s face again.
Valerie’s expression, which had been growling as she turned her head, became blank for a moment.
This is because a red light was shining along Ian’s eyes.
It wasn’t just about the eyes.
A red haze was rising like smoke all over his body.
Ian spat out.
“Your god says he can do whatever he wants?”
“… … .”
Valerie looked around with her mouth open in a daze. Finally, I saw the residents standing up reverently.
Some were sighing while looking at Ian and others at the statue.
“Carha approved… A true warrior… .”
“You are happy to participate in the Great Battle… .”
Their sighs finally reached my ears.
Valerie’s eyes turned blankly to the statue of Carha.
Just as Ian’s whole body was now, a red haze was rising from the icon. The great sword seemed to be engulfed in flames, and its red eyes flickered as if it were alive.
It was not difficult to guess that a stranger had just performed a ritual.
And Karha was proving his qualifications with clearer divinity and blessings than ever before.
“It seems like what the descendants are doing is quite pathetic.”
Ian let out a sigh and put down Valerie’s arm as if pushing it away.
He squatted down next to Urd, not even paying attention to the residents who were staring at him.
“I will decline your request.”
“big… Warrior… Oh my… .”
Urd’s bloody lips were sweet. Soon his eyes closed.
Ian gestured towards Charlotte.
She, who had been waiting with her body bent slightly so that she could provide support at any time, came running as if she had been waiting.
“Move home. “They even provide first aid.”
“i get it.”
Charlotte hugged Urd.
Ian looked back at the statue indifferently, and then he looked down at his hands again.
One corner of his mouth curled up as if he was clenching his fists.
“It’s just a barbarian blessing… .”
Valerie just stared blankly at that scene.
I couldn’t believe it.
A monster hunter from the snowy mountains, a great warrior who has not appeared even once in over a dozen years. He wasn’t even a northerner, and he didn’t seem to revere or respect Karha.
Rather, they were mocking his divinity. The power that all warriors so desperately wish to obtain.
Moreover, if the author was really the great warrior of Karha, it would be the same as losing all authority he had now.
The Great Warrior elected by the warriors of the village is nothing in front of the Great Warrior approved by God.
“… Can not.”
He let out a quiet sigh.
Ian’s head turned to him.
Valerie clenched her fist and stood up, glaring at him.
“I cannot admit it. … If you are truly a great warrior, prove it with your strength.”
I couldn’t lose everything like this.
So all I had to do was win it.
Just like Karha did.
Ian blurted out as he saw him raise his fisted arm in front of his face.
“I don’t need your approval.”
Valerie didn’t answer that question. He just lunged at his bastard with all his might, thrusting his fist out.
Sssssssssssssss-!
There was a sound of the air being torn from the outstretched fist. It was a fist that could knock out quite a few people in one hit and, if lucky, even kill them.
“… … !”

As long as you can guess it.
Valerie raised her eyes as she looked at Ian, who had dodged the punch by simply leaning forward.
Time seemed to pass slowly.
The image of Ian raising his fist and taking a step closer to her embrace was engraved in Valerie’s pupils.
“… “If you really want to become a Mormot.”
Even during this time, his voice pierced my ears clearly.
Only then did Valerie realize that Isa, too, was feeling the passage of time the same way she was.
Kwaaaa-
Ian held out his fist. Red divine power swirled like a fire following the approaching fist.
Valerie hastily took back her outstretched hand and covered it in front of her face.
Instinctive behavior.
Ujik- Quang!
Valerie was thrown backwards by the tremendous impact sent to her arm.
Shock as if hit head-on by a charging wild boar.
Clap, clap, clap.
Valerie rolled on the floor and barely stopped. He forced his trembling arms and raised his head.
Sigh-!
Ian’s face was right in front of me.
“… … !”
Valerie raised her eyes and raised her arms. But Ian’s fist was faster than hitting him in the side of the face.
Tsk-!
I didn’t feel any pain.
For a moment, my vision went dark, and when I regained consciousness, I was rolling around on the floor, vomiting blood.
Ian rushed in again.
Valerie couldn’t even resist.
My limbs stopped responding.
Kwaduk-!
Ian grabbed Valerie by the collar and slammed her down on the floor.
Black eyes with a flash of red filled Valerie’s blurry vision.
“I already know you’re a stickler, Valerie.”
Ian’s low whisper pierced his ears.
“I also know that the reason I am opposed to immigration is because I don’t want to give up that fragile power. It’s so obvious to my eyes… .”
Sighing, Ian pressed down on Valerie’s collar.
“There is no way Karha wouldn’t know.”
“… … !”
Valerie tried to say something.
But the blood filling my mouth blocked my voice. Broken teeth rolled around with blood.
“Now go back to your original position.”
Ian spat out and slammed his fist down.
***
“… Phew.”
Ian put down the unconscious Valerie and stood up.
My fists were numb. I was secretly amazed at the tenacious vitality of that barbarian warrior and not dying even after being hit by something like this. Anyway, it would be difficult for me to eat hard things for the rest of my life.
‘When will this blessing end… ?’
Ian looked down once again at the divine power surrounding him.
Hum, the sword of condemnation cried as if it was unpleasant.
Ignoring it and closing his eyes, he opened the status window.
It was to check the ability level that had been raised through blessings, but before that, a new category caught my eye.
divinity.
“under… .”
Now there are skill categories for other jobs?
Ian let out a laugh and opened the window. In the midst of the emptiness, only one skill came into view. Blessings of struggle.
It was not a skill that could be used.
A passive skill that activates with a low probability when a battle begins.
I wasn’t sure how low the probability was, but the performance was certain anyway.
It has greatly increased strength, and has also raised agility and stamina to a significant level.
‘At this level, he would be stronger than any barbarian warrior or knight… .’
Ian’s grin grew deeper.
Karha was also Karha, who gave these things on her own, but it was because the first divine skill that was created did not actually increase any of the abilities necessary for a wizard.
but. In the first place, the wizard was a profession that had nothing to do with divine power.
Holy skills are also only suitable for barbarian warriors, knights, and acolyte priests.
‘… Well, it’s better than nothing anyway.’
Ian quickly shrugged his shoulders.
Anyway, he was still lacking in one ability or skill.
‘At least while this is activated, there will be no one in the world.’
Just because there were no restrictions or penalties, there was actually no reason to be dissatisfied.
“… … .”
Instead, it seems a bit annoying in another way.
When Ian opened his eyes, he realized that all the villagers were still staring at him.
Some of the warriors even looked impressed, as if the fact that he was standing there with his eyes closed meant that he was enjoying the afterglow of the duel.
Before I knew it, the divine power that had surrounded my body had disappeared.
Karha’s icon was also silent, as if wondering when it had burned so brightly.
‘You’ve finished shopping, right?’
Irresponsible butcher.
Ian looked indifferently at the residents waiting for him to say something.
He made eye contact with Askel in the meantime, and then he tilted his chin.
“Let’s go in and finish eating.”
***
“Umm… .”
A moan spread from Urd’s mouth.
The old man’s single eye narrowed.
He stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment, then woke up with a groan.
“You finally woke up. “Young man.”
Askel’s voice continued.
He was sitting on a chair with a sore expression.
“Do you know that you slept all day? “Daejeonsa told me not to come out until the old man woke up, so I was locked up all day.”
“… “Okay, that wasn’t a dream.”
Urd, who was looking at his grumbling grandson, eventually muttered.
Askel snorted.
“Of course not. It is said that the great warrior even beat up Valerie badly. He should have seen that.”
“So, what are you doing now?”
“You’ve been here all day, how should I know?”
Askel sighed and got up and headed for the door.
“Let’s go check it out together. “Thanks to you, our wish came true.”
“… … !”
Urd’s eyes finally widened.
Forgetting the muscle pain all over his body, the old man stood up straight away.
“You decided to move?”
“He told me to get ready to leave if I don’t want to become food for monsters here.”
Askel said as he went out into the street.
Urd slowly took in the panoramic view of the village that he thought he would never see again.
Residents moving around in a hurry. The young warriors lightly nod their heads and say hello when their eyes meet.
It was definitely a different atmosphere than before.
Everyone was packing up their belongings, and their eyes were full of life.
“The great warrior of the North appears in our village… .”
“Strictly speaking, it’s not from our village, is it? “I’m a foreigner.”
“What does that matter? “It was recognized by the statue of our village.”
“Well, well. okay. Strictly speaking, we are the only ones following the Great History of the North right now.”
The voices of the warriors talking reached the old man’s ears.
Beyond the square, warriors were seen coming in carrying cut down logs.
It was clear that they were trying to build a carriage.
To move this many people, several wagons were needed.
“Words may not be enough… .”
“In the morning, several warriors set out for the Wall. He said he would borrow a horse from the fortress. “It’s not something that will be over in a few days anyway.”
Charlotte was seen chatting with some residents.
The talking beast, once mistaken for a demon, was silently listening to them, even though it had a very annoyed expression on its face.
“Master Daejeon, are you sleeping?”
Askel asked, standing in front of the door.
The door opened with a squeak of old hinges.
“Don’t call me that. “Because Karha gave the blessing on his own.”
Ian exclaimed harshly, and eventually found Urdu and chuckled.
“You’re awake.”
“For you to become the great warrior of the North… .”
Urd stuttered and opened his mouth.
Although it was unlikely, it was because I felt a sense of awe when I saw Ian, who had been chosen as the Great Warrior of the North.
Ian’s brow furrowed.
“I don’t want to hear that backstory, so if you don’t want to be kicked out of the door, come in quietly.”
“… yes.”
Urd entered the house.
“See you again, old man.”
Tessaia, an unknown fairy, greeted them with a flick of her finger.
“I would like to start by saying thank you, Daejeon, no, Ian.”
Askel said condescendingly.
Ian burst into laughter.
“Enough of the greetings. Rather… .”
Ian looked at Askel and Urd alternately.
“We will leave as soon as the carriage we are riding in is completed.”
“You’re leaving right away like this?”
Askel raised his eyes.
It was the same with Urd.
Ian snorted.
“Then, did you think I would wait until you were all ready to move?”
“of course. “I thought Ian would lead us.”
“I don’t like such troublesome things. Now and in the future. So, if there is something I need to decide, you make it for me.”
Urd frowned.
“I am… “You mean?”
“Agent, well, agent, call me whatever you want. “Please take care of everything from preparation for relocation to relocation.”
“… … .”
Urd fell silent.
Ian snorted.
“You should be thankful that I didn’t slap you, Mr. Young.” It’s a request and you’re leaving a will. “Do you remember what I said about refusing the request?”
“… yes.”
Ian held out the long sword that was lying next to him.
“Take your compensation back.”
“no. Please accept it.”
Urd shook his head and said.
“Please think of it not as a request, but as a reward for saving the village.”
“… Well, if you really have to give it to me.”
Ian shrugged his shoulders and stood up.
“I’m done talking. You will have a lot to do from now on, so do whatever you want. Stop treating that guy with respect. “Because it’s uncomfortable.”
“egg… “I will.”
At that time, the door of the house burst open.
Charlotte frowned and looked at Ian without even looking at Askel or Urud.
“Some people keep saying crazy things like you can’t leave the sacred statue behind. I don’t know what to say. “I just want to cut out my tongue.”
“Appearance… ?”
Embarrassment flashed across Urd and Askel’s faces.
This was a problem that even those who wanted to emigrate were always concerned about.
But Ian didn’t even worry.
“Then tell them to move the icon too. “Put it on a wagon, or if it doesn’t work out, cut it into pieces and take it with you.”
“… … ?!”
