Chapter 182 – 182. Pride
A woman who represents the opinions of beings in the sky.
Even though the being called God has taken away his power. Despite the cruel tragedy that came as a result.
As if repaying the faith that had not been let go, the power of pure white began to fluctuate according to Stella’s will.
Like the famous saint who rose from the grave after three days.
A saint who awakened from her sleep and returned to purify this place where evil and murderous intent run rampant.
Just like the biblical covenant that the saint would judge with flames on the day he comes again, the pure white flames that rose from Stella were ready to judge evil.
“Hey, this is dangerous.”
“Hi!”
“… … .”
Valkyria’s wings fold, and Faerun curls up and hides her nine tails in her arms.
Even Dune was sweating coldly as he looked up at the vast flame of God.
No matter how pitch-black the darkness is, it has no choice but to recede when lit by a small candle.
The appearance of Saint Stella was like the sun peeking out a little early in the late morning.
[Are you okay?]
“okay.”
Actually, of course.
Stella did not come back to life in the flesh like a saint in the Bible.
Just as I used Velika’s power through her soul.
Stella was also helping me in a similar vein, but I was responsible for supplying the mana to use divine power.
Of course, it was impossible without practice.
Just as I had practiced how to work well with Velika, improvisational techniques were not possible no matter how much the two people were in sync.
However, after Velika, I had already practiced linking up with Stella.
If you ask how this was possible.
A bit unexpectedly, this was an achievement achieved during the time that Deius had in control of his body for a longer period of time.
In fact, it may be considered useless for me, who has no divine power, to deal with Stella’s soul.
If it were possible to indirectly manipulate divine power using the Holy Grail, the story would be different.
Through Stella’s experience and skills, she was using divine power through mana extending externally, without touching the body.
[Because it is a power that is already not allowed to me as a soul.]
No matter how Stella you are, extinction will be inevitable the moment it touches divine power.
Also, since divine power is a very difficult power, it cannot be handled for a long time.
[A moment is enough.]
However, Stella was confident of victory with just a few minutes of time given to her.
The white flames occupying the central space of the banquet hall finally begin to move.
The flames, which were about the size of a human being, gradually expanded in size and were shot straight at the Great Demons.
The reaction of the nervous archdemons was so cruel that it was closer to flight rather than avoidance.
They show miserable movements, such as rolling on the ground in a hurry or barely flapping their wings to fly.
“uh? uh!”
“wait a minute!”
The ones who were in the place where the great devils were avoiding were the other party members who were arguing with them.
In particular, since it was a pure white flame with a very wide range, no one in the group was able to avoid it and was hit squarely.
“what?”
Findeneye’s vague voice informed her that she had suffered no harm.
Deia and Eleanor were looking around at their bodies that were gradually being healed in the flames.
Saint Lucia, who had collapsed, was looking shocked amidst the flames.
[Casting out evil.]
Stella slowly turns her head towards Lucia.
The old saint and the current saint make eye contact. To Lucia, her lips trembling as if she had so much she wanted to say.
Stella smiles as she teaches.
[Heals the wounded.]
“S-Tella… … .”
[That’s us, right?]
For the great devils, the power to kill with a single blow can be life-threatening with even the slightest touch, but for humans, on the contrary, it is a blessing that heals the whole body and boosts vitality.
This is a saint.
An existence reserved solely for humans.
Stella turns her head again and looks at the great devils. Lucia looks at her back in vain and sheds tears.
I’ve always followed that back.
In difficult situations, you may have wondered over and over again what you would have done if you were him.
A completed saint who fully fulfilled all the burdens she was carrying and resigned from her position.
Lucia looked toward a utopia and seemed to hope that one day she too would reach that place.
Stella, who once again showed her brilliance to her junior walking behind her, looks at the great devils again.
Like a field of reeds in autumn, the flames of divine power had already spread on the ground at an incredible speed, making it impossible for the great devils to step on them carelessly.
This is not simply about chasing away great demons or intentionally inflating one’s power.
I realize that it is Stella’s will to protect all the humans here.
Thanks to the flames of divine power spreading and seething in all directions, the other party members who were standing in its embrace were safe from the threat of the great evil.
‘That’s amazing.’
Quick decision in a short moment.
I feel sorry for Lucia, but I felt like I would have to work hard to catch up with Stella.

Stella not only had extensive experience fighting against demons, but she also skillfully knew how to protect others while fighting them.
Great demons looking down at the burning ground and gritting their teeth.
In the case of Valkyria, she had wings so she could run away at any time.
In the case of Faerun and Dune, they were either clinging to the wall or hanging with a lamp held in one hand.
In order to escape, you have no choice but to risk your injuries and run out of the building.
“I’m running away!”
This is Faerun, who destroys the wall. Having finally realized the danger of his divine power, he jumped out through the wall he had just destroyed, thinking that he had to save his life.
“Stop!”
“Payron!”
The two demons tried to dissuade him from his rash actions, but it was already too late.
Pure white flames pouring in through the hole made by Faerun, covering his entire body.
“Aaaaaaaaaah!”
The great devil holds his face with both hands while his whole body burns in pain. Unable to control his body, he eventually fell from the wall.
thud.
Living, breathing flames greeted Faerun’s fall and engulfed him.
The scream did not last long.
The Great Devil, who had tormented humans so much and was arrogantly worshiped by humans for having ten tails, met an end that was more vain than expected.
It wasn’t Payron’s problem.
This was the power of divine power.
It was an unprecedented power given by God to only one human being.
Valkyria and Dune swallow their saliva as they look down at Faerun, who left no body behind and even the soul has been destroyed rather than put to rest.
The threatening heat felt from outside.
The two demons already knew that Stella’s flames had spread like a net to the outer wall outside the banquet hall.
Also, they have become insignificant creatures in the hands of a woman who follows God.
They were the continent’s greatest apex predators.
The great demons, who had been flying endlessly as if they had no ceiling, only today realized how high the ceiling was above their heads.
Wow.
The shadow of defeat was thick and the feeling of defeat for the first time in hundreds of years seemed quite bitter.
Rather than that, it seemed unfair and unfair to be defeated like this without being able to put up any resistance.
As a race called demons, as a being that craves struggle and pride, they must have enjoyed a lot since they were born.
The name ‘Great Devil’ was like a black card and was used everywhere, and it was also a kind of right that gave legitimacy to all actions.
Now that is.
He was roughly grabbing the ankles of the two demons.
“Proud… … “Saint.”
Dune, who was looking down at Stella and me while hanging from the lamp, asked in a low voice whether she had finally given up on something.
If this is your final place.
At least as expected from a great devil named Pride.
I felt a desire to close my eyes while holding my pride in my arms.
“Show me your beliefs.”
Dune’s request is a request made by the urge to confirm once again that we are worthy of giving him death.
I wanted to make the gap clearly visible through my eyes and skin to the gentlemanly man who accepted reality and accepted death even in a hopeless situation.
[Deius, are you okay?]
If it was the old Stella.
If she had been alive, she would not have given the devil even the slightest chance.
From what I heard in the past, she was infinitely merciful to humans and was infinitely cold to demons, like a counterweight.
But now.
Since she has a deformed archdemon as her friend, she recognizes that they also have their own beliefs and ways of life.
“Yes, as you wish.”
After I gave permission, Stella calmly looked up at Dune and nodded.
[I will accept it.]
The moment that one word reached Dune’s ears. His body gradually begins to thicken.
The third eye on his forehead opened wide and began to shed bloody tears, and Dune’s whole body, which had been in the shape of a ram with only the lower half of his body, gradually began to transform into fur as rough as steel.
Kuoooooooooo!
The final roar of the Great Devil echoes throughout the night sky. It was indeed not enough to summarize a long, long period of time.
He immediately strengthens his legs, steps on the wall, and leaps towards Stella and me.
Quang!
Due to the impact of the jump, the wall he was stepping on collapses and the ceiling of the banquet hall begins to tilt.
Even as the delicately balanced banquet hall collapsed, everyone’s eyes were on us.
Pure white flames greet Dune, who flies in like a moth. Just by touching him, his body had already started to turn into black ash.
The momentum for the leap still remained.
It flies through the flames fluttering and engulfing itself.
“I have seen the pride of thousands and tens of thousands! “The faith shown by those who lived on this land was truly amazing!”
Both eyes were already closed and we couldn’t see, but the third eye on the forehead was looking straight at us.
“Dune, the great devil of pride, show your great evil pride here in return for your performance!”
The moment Dune gets closer to us, his back turns. The intention is to swing the right fist as is.
blow.
In today’s Dune, with just one hit, she could have brutally defeated us and made us her companions.
[I enjoyed watching the desperate yet noble beliefs of the people of the Republic.]
Stella bids a meaningful farewell to the man who is heading towards his end.
[Wouldn’t it have been an insult to the pride you had been shouting about?]
Dune’s right hand is no longer visible.
“ah.”
Dune, who looked down at her body that had suddenly turned into ashes, let out a laugh of realization and closed her eyes for the last time.
