Episode 691: Lukewarm water and cold ice (2)
“sister!”
The remaining priestly sisters took note of Catherine flying so far away that she could not be seen with the naked eye.
“Uh huh. The girls there stay still. Are you planning to engage in sacred one-on-one combat?”
Helia, who had blown away Catherine, used phantom beasts to keep the priests in check.
Although she was saying it jokingly, Helia was sincere.
It’s hard to deal with Catherine, but if the priest comes in, you’re at a disadvantage. In that case, it would have been better to quickly kill the priests here.
The priests also felt it and stopped.
They weren’t weak, but they were no match for Helia, who could turn ancient monsters into reality.
“They are smart girls.”
After confirming that the priests would not intervene, Helia jumped on the back of the pterodactyl-like monster and flew after Catherine.
‘I wish I could fly to the outside of the island.’
At the moment when it seemed like it might have fallen somewhere, a golden ray of light flew from far away and pierced the pterodactyl.
“It’s a surprise.”
Helia escaped from the pterodactyl engulfed in golden flames and summoned a new flying phantom beast to mount it.
It was a large bird with a human face.
“It’s a shame. “I tried to finish it quickly.”
Catherine, who soon appeared with her golden wings wide open, smiled and said.
That wasn’t all.
In Catherine’s right hand was a spear made of light, and in her left hand a shield of light.
Behind her, a gigantic giant appeared, looking down at Helia.
“under. It really doesn’t make sense. Are you really going to use all the power that the priests have?”
Sacred laws and abilities used by priestly sisters.
Catherine covered it all.
How is that possible?
“no. I thought wrong. “The power of the priests came from your strength.”
Catherine smiled as if it was the correct answer.
Catherine did not use all the power of the priests.
Quite the opposite.
The priests were using Catherine’s power.
“And your power is actually a fragment left behind by Archenis, a saint from the distant past whose name has now disappeared.”
The church has worked tirelessly to make Archenis a saint after her death.
However, the lost power of the saint had no intention of returning to the church.
So, the church used the fragments of power that Archenis left behind in the church and used them to create a saint.
Children died from countless experiments.
At the end of the tower built through death, a finished product was born.
Saint Catherine.
She showed great fitness and the power of a saint, and although she was lacking compared to the real Arkenis, she gained tremendous holy power and strength.
There were other achievements besides Catherine.
Because the current priests were failures of the artificial saint project.
He was given the position of priest because he could control some, but not all, of the saint’s power.
Helia clicked her tongue inwardly.
‘If it only embodies a portion of the true power, how strong was the power of Saint Arkenis a thousand years ago?’
Helia knew that Arkenis was strong, but she had never fought her directly, so she didn’t know her true strength.
However, I only knew that Surna was defeated every time.
I had laughed at Surna at the time, but when I actually faced the saint’s power, I felt like a fool.
“Ugh it’s frustrating. “I have no taste for fighting to the point of exhaustion.”
The moment Helia faced Catherine’s strong force, she knew that this fight would not end easily.
The moment you don’t do this properly, you die.
Just looking at the golden giant that appeared behind Catherine was like that.
He seemed ready to strike down the large sword in his hand at any moment.
There’s no way we could have a half-hearted fight over something like that.
“I can’t help it. Then, let me be a little more serious.”
Helia activated her power.
Her fighting method has always been simple.
Using power to create illusions with substance.
In a way, it was safe to say that it went beyond fantasy and changed reality itself into something else.
A huge body appeared behind Helia, who was riding a flying phantom beast.
A large body covered with countless scales.
Sharp horns towering like a crown on top of the head.
From the long protruding snout to the vicious protruding teeth.
Pulp-luck!
Every time the large wings covered in film flapped, a storm-like wind blew around them.
dragon
An absolute and highest race from the distant past that is now completely extinct and only mentioned in myth.
Not one, but as many as three dragons with a length of over 100 meters from head to tail appeared.
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The dragons roared.

A noise tore through the air, pushing through it.
It was Helia who stood at the head of the dragons.
“Fight with me. “Uncles.”
Before the world called her a devil.
A title held by Helia in a harmonious era where various races lived.
It was the Dragon Princess.
* * *
Since Catherine was away due to her fight with Helia, the remaining priests did not know what to do.
If they had been left alone, they would have gone to the fortress, but Liné was also there.
Catherine had asked her sisters to take good care of Line.
Because it was a request from their respected eldest sister, the priests could not leave Linne in danger.
So here’s where I had to make a choice.
Will you stay here until Catherine returns?
Or do you take the risk and head to the fortress?
What prompted that choice was the onslaught of plants that turned the ground upside down.
At first, I thought it was a ghost left behind by Helia, but that wasn’t the case.
The three priests moved with tremendous reaction speed without panicking in a split second.
“Camilla! “Take care of that girl!”
A colony of trees broke through the ground and quickly created a forest.
The tree moved and spread out its branches and roots, and the two priests stepped forward and raised their divine power to confront the forest.
Priest Ariel.
Priest Lucia.
The two immediately realized who was attacking this forest.
He was the one who summoned the huge tree that was blocking the castle gate that Catherine felled.
If we try to fight with a half-hearted attitude, we will lose.
“Let’s step back.”
Camilla, the last remaining priest, forcibly dragged Line away and retreated.
“Um, what about those two? “You have to go help!”
“It’s okay because my sisters are strong. What matters now is your safety. My eldest sister told me to protect you. So, I must protect you.”
The forest’s onslaught went beyond Ariel and Lucia and pursued Line.
Camilla and Line had to keep running to avoid the waves.
Camilla used holy magic to create a golden hemisphere around her.
The flood was blocked by the wall and could no longer push in.
However, Camilla was also tied up because she had to maintain the Holy Law.
Camilla spoke to Liné, who was shaking with anxiety, as if to reassure her.
“You do not have to worry. “I have the lowest combat power among the sisters, but on the other hand, I use sacred techniques that are specialized for protecting someone.”
That was why the other sisters entrusted Line to Camilla.
“I can last at least an hour.”
“If it’s one hour, then after that…” … .”
“If the enemy’s offensive continues, there is no guarantee what will happen after that. So, all I can do is wait for my eldest sister to finish the fight and come back quickly.”
At that moment, the tree that was knocking on the wall stopped moving.
The moment I wondered what was going on, the trees split to the left and right and a girl appeared beyond the barrier.
‘That child… … .’
Sedina Rochen.
Line immediately recognized her as Ludger’s assistant professor.
Sedina glanced sideways at the golden barrier and glared at Line with a cold gaze.
Although he didn’t say anything, his eyes seemed to be asking why you came here.
Priest Camilla was also surprised.
“… … “It could not be possible that it was a girl like that who caused this huge flood.”
Camilla sensed that Sedina was no ordinary wizard.
Manipulating wood freely to this degree was impossible unless you were a color wizard.
Although the priest was strong, he was not strong enough to fight a color wizard one-on-one.
“First of all, I need to get rid of it since I don’t need it.”
Sedina proclaimed in a cold voice.
As she held out her hand, the surrounding trees moved and snaked around the barrier.
Puddeuddeuk!
The trees surrounding the hemispherical wall gave strength and exerted strong pressure.
Camilla bit her lip as she felt the tremendous force exerted by the giant’s grip.
‘It’s too strong!’
The power of the tree that responded to Sedina’s sincerity was more than just magic.
Her protective holy law, which she was confident in defending, began to crack.
If things continue like this, they will get caught.
‘What do we do? First of all, let’s at least send this child safely… … .’
Camilla’s worries did not last long.
Suddenly, Liné came up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
“What on earth are you doing…?” … .”
The moment Camilla was about to ask something, the two people disappeared like a mirage.
It neither soared into the sky nor sank to the ground.
It literally disappeared.
Sedina saw that and opened her eyes wide.
‘That magic!’
Sedina has seen magic similar to that one.
How could I not know? It was like the space movement magic used by Ludger, whom she admired more than anyone else.
However, differences existed.
While Ludger uses the shadow as a medium to specify coordinates and moves, Line was able to move without such unnecessary restrictions and processes.
‘Did you run away? ‘Where is it?’
I never dreamed that Line would use magic like that.
Only then did I understand why the priests, including the saint, had brought Line here.
‘The ability to transcend space. This is too dangerous. You can send dangerous enemies straight to your side.’
Regardless of terrain, taking someone with you to jump over space meant having an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield.
You have to find it.
Sedina immediately read information from the roots of plants scattered everywhere.
The seeds she had planted had taken root in the ground of this battlefield, spreading out a wide, dense net.
Unless I left Bretus, I couldn’t avoid Sedina’s eyes.
‘found.’
Line appeared over 1km away from here. She was with Camilla, who of course moved in with her.
‘I can’t believe I moved that distance in a split second.’
If you put in a little effort, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to travel a longer distance.
‘We have to catch it now.’
Sedina immediately tried to chase after Line, but had no choice but to stop when she heard the news the plant gave her.
Ariel and Lucia.
Two priests were approaching Sedina, pushing away the dense forest like a bulldozer.
Because they showed up to capture Line, Sedina’s location was also pinpointed by them.
Sedina bit her lip as she watched the priest approaching at high speed, engulfed in golden flames.
“Don’t disturb the teacher!”
Trees grew thick around it, and flower fields were in full bloom.
* * *
The Crusaders pushed in like a flood.
Their advance was unstoppable.
The goal is to quickly enter the fortress.
Therefore, they quickly passed by the place where the fight was taking place, bypassing it as much as possible.
“We finally arrived.”
“Is it finally a fortress?”
When they reached the entrance of the fortress, they swallowed their saliva when they saw the enormous traces of destruction carved into the entrance.
The ground was soggy with a mixture of water and soil, as if there had been a flood, and the terrain was a mess, as if it had been plowed over again.
In addition, the forest grew rapidly and there were traces of burning the forest.
“What on earth happened?”
The idea of a holy crusade did not last long.
This was because the light in Galaharad Fortress grew stronger and a roar rang out from inside.
They had no time to be surprised or judge the situation.
“Everyone, move! “There is no time to mess around here!”
The crusaders swarmed into the fortress.
“It looks like it’s finally arrived.”
Surna felt a presence outside.
By the time the cardinals arrived, the entrance to the fortress had already been breached, but it was still faster than expected.
“Isn’t this already assumed well enough? “At least the structure of the fortress itself has changed, so their movements will be slower.”
“I’m glad if that’s the case.”
“The roads inside are narrow and complicated, so it will be easier to block than outside.”
Of course, separate troops were placed inside for defense.
“You said it was easy to block, right?”
“okay.”
“After going through all that, isn’t it too vain?”
It was a word without context, but Ludger fully understood it.
“This is natural considering the other person’s capabilities.”
Ludger muttered that and waved his hand lightly.
The wave of magical energy that followed the gesture scattered like powder and completely cleared away the water curtain in the air.
“this. “I didn’t know we’d already be caught.”
“It only happens once or twice like this, so why not change your approach little by little?”
“I guess I’ll have to do that next time. “Is there a good method you recommend?”
A voice that speaks slyly.
Ludger looked at Casey Selmore who had reached this point.
Beside her was Betty, ready for battle in case of any unexpected situation.
“Casey Selmore. “Have you come to kill me?”
“Thinking about the temple now, of course it is right to defeat the Demon King.”
Casey stared at Ludger without avoiding his eyes.
How long did they exchange glances?
Casey withdrew his magic.
“Right now, you don’t look like the devil that people say you are. At least that’s how I see it.”
“From what you say, it seems like you have another purpose.”
Casey obediently nodded at the words that penetrated the essence.
“Yes, that’s right. I need your help. “That’s why I came to see you.”
“To me, the devil?”
“My sister is coming.”
Casey’s simple words contained a lot.
“To kill you.”
