Episode 427 A saint’s duties (1)
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
My heart was beating rapidly.
It is not because I have met a godhead who resides in the upper world.
It wasn’t because I was facing one of the ancient dragons.
Even when he was surrounded by the primordial gods, he never felt this much pressure.
“Warrior Jinhyeok Kang?”
The damn tuna sushi kept pressuring me.
Brrrr… !
The little vampire queen in the ring also went wild with him.
‘… … It would be more comfortable to fight the Kraken.’
If you give in to one side’s demands, you won’t be able to handle the other side.
However, the option of staying still carried the risk of losing both sides.
In a situation of dilemma.
Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth.
“If I am judged to be worthy of being a true warrior… then, I will follow the mermaid laws as the queen said.”
Right now, we need to buy time.
The queen seemed crazy to want to marry under such a ridiculous law, but she wouldn’t ask for annexation right away.
“…You’re even humble.”
Fortunately, the queen accepted those words as a positive sign.
“I thought humans were a species faithful to their desires… Are you saying that your duty as a warrior is more important than your Majesty’s kindness?”
“Not all humans are bad.”
“It makes me look back at myself that I used to doubt.”
“Indeed, he is an example of a hero.”
There was also a stir among the ministers.
This is a life-threatening matter, but they seem to take it in a completely different way.
Still, we were able to overcome the mermaids’ situation.
the problem is… .
[‘Braham’s Ring’ is forcibly liberated!]
The other side was not convinced.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A red energy hovered inside Atlantis.
Ellis, who had gathered all the magical power that was not there, appeared in her original size.
“Hey, these… these sea anemone-like bastards, who is leaving a successor with so-and-so! I’ll turn you all into beanworms!”
Ellis started running wild.
“Ship, vampire?”
“It’s a high-ranking individual! No, how could a purebred species be here…?”
The SS immediately drew their weapons.
As various magics overlapped, the interior suddenly turned into chaos.
Naturally, the top suspicion fell on Jinhyuk.
“No way, the hero….”
“…….”
If things go this way, it will look like a righteous hero has joined hands with a vicious vampire.
Of course, the mermaids’ support will also go across the water.
That just has to be stopped.
Jinhyuk took out Barnard with a determined expression.
Activating ‘Star’s Protection’, which had a soft glow, was a bonus.
“This is your first vampire?”
Facial expression management and outstanding acting skills have been trained through countless practical training.
The point is to tilt your head about 7 degrees.
“Even the hero didn’t know.”
“Yes. Wow. Summer mosquitoes are vicious, but I never thought they would come all the way to the bottom of the sea. Let’s get rid of them quickly. You will be disrespectful to a good place.”
[Magic power is limited.]
Jinhyuk cut off all the magic power he gave Ellis.
“huh?”
hug!
Ellis’ body became smaller.
“It looks like even the evil vampire is very scared in front of the hero! Chase after him now!”
“Waaah!”
The energetic soldiers rushed in.
“Kyaaaah!”
Ellis began to run away from between the pillars.
“Then, you promised support.”
“Yes. We will gather the best warriors we have.”
To be honest, I’m afraid of the fallout from Ellis that will come later.
As for the aftercare, well… .
Let’s leave it to our future selves.
Jinhyuk tried to ignore Ellis’s screams of mixed sorrow and anger.

Pudduk… .
Aluti, who was watching the Pain Pirates turn into a wasteland from the sky, could not hold back her anger and randomly destroyed everything in the cabin.
“Squeak! Squeak! Aaaah! What the hell! How did this happen? Why! Why?!”
Expensive-looking pottery and antique wooden tables were turned into rags.
But right then.
Ugh!
A gate with a green light appeared inside the cabin.
This magical power… .
no way?
An earthquake occurred in Aluti’s pupils.
It’s definitely true.
A senior manager is coming here.
“…….”
Jerk.
Right away. A person appeared who was clearly showing his discomfort.
Hasting, a senior manager with the appearance of a goblin.
This was the end of the chain of command that ordered this incident.
“Snap! Snap! Oh, are you here?”
“Aluti.”
“yes!”
“Obviously, I gave you a lot of support. Not only did I connect you with the Gandhara guild, which has the support of Cheonsei, but I even went so far as to link you with the Pain Pirates and the Spear of Atlantis. If there is anything wrong with what I said, please point it out.”
“Uh, none.”
“Of course not. It’s all true. But….”
Hasting snapped his fingers.
Then I remembered the pottery fragments that had fallen on the floor.
“You handled things like an idiot. You couldn’t even stop the opponent!”
Puff puff!
Debris turned the wall Aluti was standing on into a rag.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! It’s a sin that will kill me….”
“No, there’s no need to be sorry. Fortunately, even you bastards still have their own roles to play.”
Cuckoo cuckoo!
The cabin’s floor began to disappear.
The ocean stretched out endlessly. And beneath the surface of the water, I could see a shadow with no end in sight.
“Snap! K-Kraken!? No way….”
“Yes. In order to end this guy before he does something again, we will have to hasten the apocalypse. You will become the sacrifice for the Kraken’s resurrection.”
Patter!
A dozen hamsters began free falling.
“Kwaaah!”
“Squeak!”
with a plop! with a plop!
A wave arose on the calm surface of the water.
He is finally about to wake up.
An apocalypse that can destroy one level.
* * *
Rumbling… Quang!
The sky is slowly turning black.
The sea was truly reminiscent of the calm before the storm.
“Almost done.”
“Push a little harder!”
The engineering leaders of each guild leading the combined fleet shouted at the top of their lungs.
It’s already been over 5 hours since we fought Gigantdalos.
The long fight finally came to an end.
Thanks to pushing with all our might, we were able to gain victory little by little.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Kwaaang.
All kinds of magic flew around in a dizzying manner.
“Keeeeee!”
A huge flame erupted from Gigantdalos’ body.
It’s ridiculous that even after being relaxed for several hours, he still runs wild.
‘It was a close call because of those damn murderous twins. How many ships sank?’
The fact that Maria’s European side and the enemy guild led by Oh Ji-won left the front line was one of the reasons that made the battle difficult.
The middle-aged man ground his molars.
‘Rotaine Felliani’ of the Knights of the Holy Cross.
He was one of the Holy Knights directly under the Vatican and was planning to imprint the name of the Knights of the Holy Cross in each country through this raid.
‘It’s fortunate that Teresa is doing better than expected. Of course, it’s the best card to use in moderation.’
In addition, they were promised support from the gods belonging to ‘Eden’.
This is a situation that cannot go wrong.
But right then.
Wooooow!
A strange sound penetrated my ears.
“Something just happened….”
Rotane walked to the railing.
Clearly, a voice like the howling of an animal was heard from the sea.
Although the battle was fierce, the strange feeling of discomfort irritating my skin told me that this was more urgent.
“Deputy Commander?”
“Is there a problem?”
The paladins next to him approached.
“You guys can’t feel this right now… huh?”
Doubt turned into astonishment.
Kukukukukuku!
I thought I could see a huge shadow under the water… .
Kwaaaaang!
Soon, a huge amount of spray came out.
“Gooooh!”
An octopus whose size was difficult to estimate immediately trapped Gigantdalos.
“Keeeeeeee! Keeeek!”
Gigantdalos, who had been running so wildly, disappeared beneath the waves without even being able to properly resist.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
In an instant, the sea turned red.
This happened in less than 10 seconds.
“Whoa! What is that?”
“Wow, it’s a Kraken!”
Shouts erupted from the fleet.
A mythical monster that has never been encountered before.
Even as a raid team that has been rolling from the tower and catching various bosses, we have never encountered such a monster outside the standard.
… Fighting?
That option should be abandoned.
My instincts were screaming like crazy.
I need to run away right now.
But, is that as possible as it seems?
If they ran at that speed, it was questionable whether 3% of the total would survive and reach land even if they ran away.
Scapegoat.
Yes. We need someone to take the time until all the fleets withdraw.
Moreover, it would be best if the value of the Knights of the Holy Cross could be raised through that person’s sacrifice.
The worries didn’t last long.
“Call Teresa.”
Rotane gave the command.
* * *
The sea where everyone has left.
There was only one ship floating alone on the ocean.
“That’s stupid. Are you really planning to die?”
Another personality spoke to me.
However, Teresa did not answer.
I just look ahead with a resigned expression.
“…If I don’t stay, thousands of people will die.”
You have to buy time.
Time for everyone to run away.
“And the Zion Guild and the Knights of the Holy Cross decided to take action.”
The advent of the Archangel.
If you can pull it off, you will have a good chance of winning even if the target is Kraken.
“You believe such a ridiculous promise. Sunding. You are the most idiotic person I have ever seen. Do you know that?”
“Yeah… I think so too.”
Teresa smiled weakly.
Parr.
The white armor trembled slightly.
I couldn’t keep my composure as I faced my approaching death.
Cuckoo cuckoo!
The mere movement of water is enough to cause a tsunami.
Before I knew it, the Kraken had approached about ten meters away.
Right then.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The sea split.
A huge bridge that rises as if to cover the sky.
Its size far exceeded common sense, as if dozens of towers had been created.
Suckers the size of houses continued to wriggle.
“Koooooo!”
I feel like my eardrums will be torn.
“…….”
However, Teresa barely maintained her balance and opened the subspace.
What appeared was a pure white flag.
It was a holy relic owned by one of the tower’s heroes.
[Relics are now open!]
With a dazzling light.
The memory of a hero seeped into Teresa’s body.
‘Joan of Arc’, the saint who saved the country.
An ordinary girl born in a rural village suddenly received a revelation from an angel one day.
No one can know whether that is true or not.
maybe… It must be false.
Rather than an angel appearing out of nowhere, the theory that it was an anecdote created by high-ranking nobles for new hope was more convincing.
But, the girl believed.
At least she herself received a revelation from an angel.
Whether it is the truth or a made-up truth.
Joan of Arc became the focal point of victory and recovered the lost territory.
A nameless girl from the countryside saved a collapsing country.
However, the end of this story is not a happy ending.
A saint who became more popular than the king was only dangerous as the war was coming to an end.
In the end, the hero who saved the country was reduced to a mere heretic.
that… . It’s a terrible story.
[The hero’s memories continue.]
The scene changes.
Firewood piled high.
A girl is seen tied up.
The girl is no longer a saint.
The girl is no longer a hero.
He is nothing more than a weak human being on the verge of death.
still.
And yet.
Until the very end, the girl maintained her life as a saint.
That is why I was called by a star.
[The hero ‘Saint of the Nation’ seeks permission for the special ability ‘One Body and One Body.’]
Therefore, ‘star’s protection’ is a kind of curse.
The divine power based on the caster’s sacrifice will eventually burn the caster himself.
All that remains is to ask whether the person who carries on the saint’s name will make the same choice again.
To that question… .
“I’ll accept it.”
Teresa unleashed her magic.
[Go Yoo Seong-chang (固有聖唱)… .]
There were no worries.
Even before the Tower of Trials appeared. And even after the tower appeared.
Because my wish for everyone around me to be happy has not changed.
[…] … ‘White Flame’ is activated!]
Grumble!
Holy fire.
A dazzling white flame began to fill the surroundings.
