‘Well, since it wasn’t a mask that was saved after anticipating this situation, I wonder if it would have lasted this long.’
It was simply a mask prepared to hide his identity while working as a sculptor.
The durability of the mask was not good enough to withstand the shock of a series of rough fights.
The torn mask falls to the floor, and the black tent that covered his head flows down.
“You… … ?”
Randaldro, who was nearby, recognized Ren and muttered.
Gray hair flowing down.
People far away couldn’t immediately recognize Ren because his face was covered with his sleeves, but given the situation, Ren couldn’t just cover his face either.
‘First of all, we have to catch that devil first.’
After saying that, Dean eventually lowered his arm and unleashed his divine power towards Retina.
‘If not now, it will be difficult to catch that devil.’
– All right.
From the past, the buildings of the Holy Kingdom were made from special materials.
Buildings are built using stones and stones imbued with sacred power. That long-standing tradition was continued in preparation for the devil who might attack at any time.
But now, it is common for the citizens and priests of the Holy Kingdom to not know the reason.
This was because hundreds of years had passed since the war with the demons ended and most of the past had been forgotten.
The fact that Retina’s bottom turned into golden thread and bound her was also a sacred magic performed using the sacred power contained in those materials, so Retina did not notice it in advance.
The demons of the past were reluctant to go to the Holy Kingdom because of this, but as time passed, they also forgot about it.
The characteristics of demons are pride and carelessness.
Dean had no intention of taking the easy way out.
A golden opportunity created by Retina’s arrogance. Now you can kill the demon without taking any damage.
“I will destroy you forever like this.”
Killing that body doesn’t mean the devil disappears.
Just throw away the shell, and the soul that returned to the original world will still remain.
But with this, it is possible to erase its existence right here.
“Let’s go! ᚱᛁᚲᚨᛁᛋ ᛁᚢᚾᚢᛏᛟᛋᛁ ᛒᚢᚾᛁᚾᚺᚢᛁᛋ.”
The language of God flowing from his mouth again.
The pure white clothes fluttered, and the sacred power flowed through the blood sword planted in the ground and spread out like a branch.
[Infinite World]
A golden circle is drawn beneath Retina, who is floating in the air, entangled in a golden thread, and runes are densely filled within it.
“Oh, no… Okay… … !!”
It was only then that she realized what kind of magic Dean had unleashed, and she convulsed and urgently twisted her body.
“Can not be done!! Let go! Let go!! “I will kill you!!”
How many demons in the past have disappeared from existence due to this?
The magic that I thought was lost forever was now being recreated here.
“no! Ah, ah, no… “It’s okay!!”
I didn’t care if my flesh was torn by the golden thread or if blood was pouring out, I tried to escape in a fit of convulsions, but it was already too late.
Before she knew it, the completed golden circle spun around and split in half, and pure white brilliance gushed out from within to cover her.
“help me!! please! please!!”
Little by little, she is sucked into the radiance and cries out earnestly.
A scream that feels too out of place to be the image of a devil who toyed with and toyed with hundreds of humans alone.
For a moment, people froze in place at the sight of her struggling so desperately that one even felt pity for her, and watched in a daze as she was swallowed up by light.
“… Within… go… , Wolf… “In vain.”
The voice, as if submerged in water, soon disappeared into the circle along with her appearance.
Weee!!
With a noise that seemed to indicate the satisfaction of eating the demon, the split circle closed and the light disappeared into it, hiding its existence.
As soon as her presence disappeared, the magic energy connected to her was cut off, and the Azazel covering Bastian began to scatter from the center like ripples.
It could be said that the battlefield was hellish, but the fight ended in an instant.
Silence fell on the battlefield, which was filled with painful screams, screams, and shouts.
At that time, when only people’s heavy breathing could be heard occasionally,
That… , that… … .
Dean walks alone in a world where everyone has frozen like stone and walks to the place where Retina has disappeared.
The stairs of a collapsed temple. Dean turned into a golden thread and approached the empty space in the center, flowing divine power into the underground cavity and pulling up Raman’s Spear inside.
Raman’s spear, which was stained with demonic energy and turned black, was engulfed in divine power and floated in the air.
Clear evidence that the holy relics were stolen by the devil and the capital of the Holy Kingdom was almost taken away.
The priests of the Holy Kingdom collectively sigh at the miserable sight of Raman’s spear, which remains as a stain and shame.
“In the past, I experienced even greater humiliation than this. “You shouldn’t be frustrated by just this.”
Dean muttered in a low voice that others couldn’t hear and opened the book again.
The unfolding bookshelf stops, and with the divine language engraved within it, divine power flashes and surrounds Raman’s window.
A dazzling white brilliance flows from Raman’s window.
“Ugh… … !”
The sword master who regained his senses frowned and maintained his gaze.
Not only that, but everyone present strained their eyes so as not to miss even a single moment of Ren’s appearance.
[purification]
Black magic energy gradually peels off from the tip of the sharp spear blade.
The demon energy that flowed from Raman’s spear disappeared like dust as soon as it touched the divine power, and the pure white sword body hidden within it was revealed.
“oh… … .”
“Oh God… … .”
The priests who witnessed the sacred scene held their hands and prayed with voices full of emotion.
Finally, after shaking off all the demonic energy and purifying Raman’s contaminated spear, Din slowly grabbed Raman’s spear and lifted it up.
‘Would you like to say something?’
– Dean does it.
‘Sure.’
Up on the stairs, close to hundreds of people gathered under his gaze.
A very familiar and routine situation for Dean.
There is nothing to be nervous about or afraid of.
He lightly cleared his throat and shouted at them in a confident and firm voice.
“We escaped the attacks and temptations of demons, recovered the holy relics, and gained faith and salvation.”
The divine power that shimmered in Raman’s window emits light and shoots pure white flames into the sky.
Kwaaa!!
Azazel has disappeared, but the traces of the magic that covered the place still remain.
A pure white flame rises as if resolving past resentment, spreading like wildfire in the sky, igniting demonic energy and spreading in all directions.
“We won. But this victory is not the end. Like the demonic energy that remains there, there are still remnants of evil targeting the continent and the Holy Kingdom. Even more difficult challenges await us. So there is no time to be frustrated. “The Holy Kingdom I know has faith and the power to lead faith.”
thud!
Dean struck the ground with Raman’s spear and brought down the flames that had spread in the sky on them.
White flames fall from the sky like meteors, and startled people flinch and are engulfed in flames.
Hwaaa… … .
“uh… … ?”
“It’s hot… Don’t you?”
“W-what is it? “The wound is healing.”
Not only the priests but also the knights of the empire all surrendered themselves to the pure white flames that fell from the sky.
The crackling flame erased the traces of demonic energy that remained on them and healed their wounds.
A large-scale recovery spell that instantly restores hundreds of people.
The person who pulled off that incredible feat was none other than Len Argen.
“We will continue to overcome.”
At the same time as his final declaration, the priests of the Holy Kingdom, who were engulfed in flames, all clasped their hands and bowed their heads toward him.
Not only priests and paladins, but also high priests, bishops, and cardinals.
The knights of the empire, who were looking at him in confusion, also saw his recovered body and bowed to him, sticking the sword in the ground and holding the handle with both hands.
Wallenberg’s third child, Milo Wallenberg, who was mesmerized by the majestic sight, bows his head.
Platt and Rosent did not like it, but since it was their duty as knights, they lightly bowed.
“Is that the Ren I knew?”
Arhan Arjen watched in a daze as the long torn wound on his left arm healed quickly, and his pupils trembled.
Len Argen. A fool who had Arjen’s blood and didn’t even have the slightest talent for swordsmanship. So, the pathetic younger brother was kicked out of his family and ended up guarding a graveyard in a small country like Brilliant.
But the person he sees now is not Ren Argen, but the great hero who protected the castle. It was as if the Pope of a holy country, which had only been told in legend in the past, had descended.
“under.”
On the other hand, what do you think of yourself? It’s so shabby.
Arhaan gritted his teeth with the bitter sense of defeat he had experienced for the first time in a long time and disappeared through the crowd.
Lian Arjen, who was looking at Arhaan like that, could not erase the suspicion in his eyes.
The sacred magic unleashed by Ren was so vast that even the now-dead former Pope, Procopius Ducas, could not unleash it.
But does it make sense that Ren, who is not even a priest of the Holy Kingdom, would unleash such enormous divine power?
‘wren… ‘Are you really Ren?’
Meanwhile, the three masters in front were looking at Ren with different faces.
Basil didn’t know why, but he realized that he had made the right choice and that it was a huge success and he grinned.
The sword lord was frowning and suffering from the fact that he almost ruined the job by attacking Ren.
Randaldro was thrilled as he watched Ren’s feat.
“Rune. Huh… “I never thought the power of the rune language, the language of God, would be this much.”
Everyone present was experiencing waves of complex emotions that could not be expressed in words.
‘also. Ren was right.’
Karina, who was smiling shallowly at the sight of Ren as if he were the pope of a holy country, made eye contact with Ren and widened her eyes.
A long, long distance away. Was it true that he saw himself among all those people?
‘Was it a mistake?’
Ren soon returned his gaze. Is it because of my feelings that I feel regretful when I see Ren like that?
Karina worked hard to shake off the complicated thoughts in her mind and took care of those who had fallen around her.

Ugh- Ugh-
[Adjust the assimilation rate of the program.]
From Noble mtl dot com
When Dean’s assimilation rate was lowered, the consumption of spiritual power, which had almost reached the bottom, drastically decreased.
[You have solved 「Sub Quest – Prevent the destruction of the Holy Kingdom」.]
A system message that appeared when Retina was put into the infinite world and all Azazel were erased.
[「Reward – Strength +2, Dexterity +2, Stamina +3, Energy +1.5, Spiritual Power +3, Wheel of Fate」 are obtained.]
My throbbing head felt much better.
Surprisingly, there was no physical pain at all. Eliminating Retina and Azazel were all just using the power of the Holy Relic.
I was only mentally fatigued, but my body was still fine.
Moreover, I even received the reward for the quest.
– Priests from all holy countries are praying for you.
[The believers’ faith, faith, and prayers of gratitude are directed to the gravedigger.]
[God’s gaze comes down.]
Along with Dean’s words, a message I had never seen before appeared in the air.
This is the first time the system has sent me a message like this.
Huaaa…
Golden baptism poured down on me from the blue sky with dark clouds.
– It’s a revelation from God.
As soon as Dean spoke, the background changed and I stood in a pure white space.
“here is… … ?”
Something of an unknown shape appeared, waving in the pure white space where there was clearly nothing.
[Gravekeeper.]
A soft and sacred voice. They say it’s a revelation from God, but is it really God who appears and speaks to me?
“god… Are you?”
[Yes.]
At those words, I took a deep breath without realizing it.
[Nothing to be surprised. Both your ancestors and Din Athanakis, who resided in your body, have been here before.]
