Chapter 147 – Hero, I did well!
Chapter 145
Haa, that’s good.
Looking at their perfectly fine faces, the worries that were filled with them faded away. Estelle and Celine didn’t appear to be hurt.
“Hero…!”
Celine clung to me with some tears in her eyes. I said while stroking her hair.
“Do you know how much I found because it suddenly disappeared?”
“Even we didn’t want to!”
“I was joking. Nice to meet you.”
As I was comforting Celine, I saw Estelle. When our eyes met, Estelle raised the corners of her lips and said.
“Why did you come so late~♡”
“I was a little lost. You know how surprised I was to hear that it was suddenly sent to Ephesus.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Oh, this was Ephesus~?”
“Didn’t you know?”
“I was only inside the building. Do you have to explain the obvious? Stupid♡”
Seeing that he has room to play around, it seems that nothing dangerous happened. I said pointing back.
“Still, Chloe and Alicia helped a lot, so she was able to arrive even now.”
“Yes? Are you Chloe?”
When I pointed back, Estelle seemed to see Chloe in her eyes. Chloe approached Estelle with her characteristic fresh smile.
“It’s been a while, saintess!”
“Chloe, why are you here…”
“I was on my way to Ephesus for work, and I saw a warrior desperately searching for the missing saintess. It was like a lost puppy.”
…When I. I put my bewildered feeling behind and looked at the front. A red-haired man holding a large sword. That man looked like the head of this place.
“Let’s say hello for now. I’ll take over there for a while.”
“…Wait a minute, I will bless you.”
“Oh, yes.”
A very powerful blessing dwelled in your body. Looking at Estelle, wondering if it was necessary to cast such a strong blessing on dealing with people, she explained why.
“That man knows how to use s*xual skills. He even blessed himself.”
“Really?”
“So be careful. It will be very irregular. If you act stupid, you might die~♡”
“…Yes.”
Blessed, I stood next to Elfriede. She looked at me, and a soft smile appeared on her face. It feels good to be so happy that laughter comes out naturally.
“You look like you’re going to die of hardship, Elfriede.”
“…What are you talking about, I’m just starting out. Abel, do you really look very tired? Aren’t you tired of dealing with the guys behind you?”
“Uh huh, I don’t get tired of that much.”
Of course, we were both joking. It’s true that I was tired from the number of guys behind me, and Elfriede also looked exhausted from a long fight.
“…There are two warriors. This must be a bit difficult.”
“What if I am in trouble? Is there any way you can escape from here?”
This is the top floor. I checked on my way in, but the windows were all blocked, so I couldn’t get out. Then there is only one entrance left. It meant that if this guy wanted to go out, he had to beat us.
“Couldn’t I… Have stayed here all the way without an escape route? Responsibility cannot be avoided, but I must save my life first.”
“With whom?”
I didn’t hesitate any longer, and immediately rushed at him. My body, strengthened by divine protection, sped up with unbelievable speed.
“…!?”
There was no way a human could react to such a speed that even Leviathan-class monsters couldn’t react, no matter how much the head of this place was. When he noticed, the back of my sword was already slashing down on his head.
《 Glory Shield 》
Kaang!
A holy shield dyed black appeared and instantly blocked the holy sword. Do you know how to use a real s*xual spell?
“Why did a priest who used to be a member of an organization like this?”
What’s good about doing something illegal? When I said it as if I didn’t understand, he said as if he was asking something obvious.
“When I sit in this position, you can’t imagine the astronomical amount of money I put into my hands.”
“It’s not even money that I can confidently spend anyway, so what’s the use of it?”
“You can say that because you don’t know.”
“Okay.”
Kagagak.
“…What.”
The bastard’s holy shield began to crack. Because the body strengthened by divine protection not only increases speed, but also increases strength tremendously. To the extent that it could compete with high-risk monsters.
“Elfriede!”
Elfriede, who ran like me before I knew it, raised his sword from under him. A situation of dilemma, with me above and Elfriede wielding a sword below.
There is nowhere for him to escape. Just when he thought he had caught it, the eyes of the slit guy suddenly opened wide.
“Mother of Chaos, save your faithful followers.”
《Chaos Area》
Kooung!
…What is it? I felt something pressing on my body.
And his movements, my movements, and Elfriede’s movements seemed very slow. As if it was taken with a high-speed camera.
…No, that’s not what it looks like. It’s really slow. Everything around here has slowed down.
“…….E.”
The voice is also slow to come out. Even the process of opening my mouth is slow, so I can’t speak properly.
Is it magic anyway? Isn’t this guy a priest? How magic…
“This…Isn’t magic. Do you have any divine powers?”
At that time, someone was talking normally. I didn’t even have to look away from her, I saw her in my field of vision.
He said that he had seen her too, unable to hide her surprise. Very slowly.
“How…how…”
“Huh? I’m a wizard. Magical power opposes divine power or divine power.”
Now that even Estelle is stranded, Chloe is the only one who escapes interference.
#
Chloe. She was a genius wizard who proudly took the top spot in her grade in the exam that was taken three months after returning from the Royal Academy of Magic in Athens, where all kinds of geniuses and talented people gather. She did not enter this first-class institution for nothing as a commoner.
When she was with Abel, Estelle noticed that her skills were not ordinary in casting magic by accurately embodying runes without using a staff, an auxiliary tool. I didn’t expect to be a rich wizard.
Chloe, a girl sorceress with her purple hair and amethyst-like eyes, walked casually even in such a dark and chaotic space. Seeing that, Estelle thought to herself.
‘…If I died as a monster, it would have been a huge loss in many ways.’
Chloe walked away and stood in front of Calvados.
“How can someone who is not a saint borrow the power of a god? Does Goddess Adelia lend her power to anyone, unlike other goddesses?”
Chloe’s guess was roughly correct. The followers of the Church of Adelia were able to receive some of her goddess’ power by offering something of their own to her goddess.
There were various types of offerings, such as offering goods, offerings, bodies, divine powers, and even her own life.
Now Calvados borrowed the power of her goddess and slowed down the time in the entire space in that way. He had previously offered many goods and offerings to the goddess to receive her powers, and he wanted to use it in a moment of crisis to overcome the situation.
Her own body also slowed down, but because she was her user, she was able to move faster than others. All she had to do was return to her room and run away using the transfer magic prepared for escape.
But this was unexpected. A high-ranking mage from the Mage Tower didn’t even come, so you’re walking around in this space?
Calvados looked at Chloe, the girl who stood in front of him with an expression of curiosity as to how he had borrowed divine power, with surprised eyes.
“…First of all, you’re the caster, so I have to defeat you to unlock it, right?”
Chloe stomped on the floor with her staff. Then, a huge magic circle appeared under her feet.
The magic circle reminded me of very large runes, ‘Good Cell (强)’ and ‘Chilta (打)’.
“Smite.”
Above Chloe’s head, the shape of her huge fist rose. A mighty fist made of magic headed for Calvados’ nose.
Boom―――!!!
“Kuh…Billion…!”
At that blow, Calvados’s nose was completely down, and his concentration on divine power control was also disturbed. The impact was so powerful that his brain was shaken for a moment, so it was inevitable.
And if that happened, it meant that Abel and Elfriede were free from this beggarly space.
Puck! Baek!!!
“Keah…!”
Elfriede’s sword from below and Abel’s holy sword from above hit the chin and back of the head with their backs. He had received a strong shock from the magic, but after two consecutive hits, he received more shock, so even he, a key executive and powerful man, could not withstand it as long as he was a human being.
Unless it was a monster, it was actually a strange situation to endure. Eventually, Calvados’ eyeballs flipped over, and he lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
“…Uh…Uh…”
“Whew.”
Abel and Elfriede averted their eyes to look at Chloe. Chloe said, extending her index and middle fingers, showing her V.
“Hero, I did well!”
“…Yes, well done.”
“Ehehehe.”
Seeing Chloe smiling cutely, Abel also smiled. However, Elfriede looked at it with a slightly different gaze. She was not a cute girl, but the gaze of a great wizard.
“…Looks like you’re still a cadet, you’re amazing.”
“Yes?…Oh, no. What am I… More than that, you’re Elfriede’s hero, aren’t you? Nice to meet you.”
“You know me.”
“Everyone who knows, knows. You have been active for a long time.”
Abel put her holy sword back on her back and said.
“Thank you, Chloe. Now, let’s go practice. It’s okay if you don’t help me any more.”
“Yes~? You were supposed to go on a date with me!”
“…What, Abel?”
Elfriede looked at Abel with eyes that said, “What did I hear?”
“Hey, Chloe. I’ll be in Ephesus for a few days anyway because of the regular briefing session. Any time…”
“Oh, really? But I don’t have to go now anyway. As I said, you should come with plenty of time, and even if you go, you have to leave in about two days.”
“Uh, is that so?”
“So let’s go on a date tomorrow!”
“…….”
Abel glanced over. She towards Estelle and Celine. Then, Celine’s eyes said that I didn’t care. It was because she had already heard of Chloe’s existence.
The key was Estelle. However, Estelle looked at Abel with eyes that understood her rather than her jealousy. She seemed to be saying this with her eyes.
‘Are you paying for helping me?’
I think that’s what I was asking, so Abel nodded her head, and Estelle nodded her head as well. It meant permission. If it wasn’t for Chloe, the situation would have been difficult.
Abel felt slightly at ease. But next to her, Elfride shouted.
“Ah, Abel!! What the hell are you doing to a little girl…!”
“…Chloe is an adult, Elfriede.”
“…Ah.”
Her entry into the Royal Magic Academy was proof that she was an adult in the first place. It was a higher education institution where one could enter at the age of majority.
Although Chloe knew she was a cadet, she forgot that she was an adult when she saw her size.
“And in a way, he was the first person to confess to me…”
“What…”
“Right~! But the hero told me to wait while saying, ‘He is weak, so he can’t do it, so blah blah’. Anyway, go out with Saint Estelle!”
“I heard that the same goes for Chloe.”
“But is she the only Saint Estelle? She’s all women here….”
“…Hey Celine is also my lover.”
As Abel spoke candidly and pointed at her Celine, Chloe deliberately blinked her eyes slightly and looked at Abel.
“…Does the hero have a clerical fetish?”
“…No.”
“Isn’t it? Well, if that was the case, I would have been attacked the last time I went wearing a nun’s uniform, right?”
“Why am I attacking you?!”
As Abel retorted loudly, Chloe chuckled and said,
“Still, I’m glad. I will be the third.”
“…Heh heh. It’s not even Chloe yet, is it? There are two years left until graduation.”
“Don’t be mean~! And now we have a year and a half left!”
“Now, wait a minute, Abel.”
At that time, Elfriede called out to Abel in a puzzled voice. Abel looked at Elfriede with her eyes asking why.
“So, even if you accept me, I will be the fourth…?”
“…Is that it?”
When Abel brought out her affirmation, Elfriede felt her head dizzy. She thought she’d be third though, but she’s fourth. Suddenly, one of the rumors about Abel came to mind.
‘The rumor that Abel is a womanizer must have been true…’
