Chapter 56 – No more playing with fire, Drake!
Episode 56
“Go!”
“Wow!!!”
As Abel ran out, the soldiers followed him. Celine was horrified to see the blessing placed on Abel.
‘Gaho’.
It is the most powerful blessing among the four levels of blessings, and a blessing that is extremely rare even in the entire world. Now that the ‘real saint’ had not appeared, it was a blessing known only to be used by the Popes of each denomination.
Of course, Celine couldn’t use it either. However, she was able to recognize that Estelle was using divine protection. It was because the amount of divine power dwelling in Abel was staggering when she blessed her.
Celine looked at Estelle with a bewildered expression.
“…Is the saintess truly the chosen one?”
Estelle answered Celine’s question with her soft smile. That alone was enough of an answer for her. Celine asked with awe that emanated from the depths of her heart.
“But how do you hide that fact?”
“…If you get known, you have a lot to do. I wanted to live as a priest for a while.”
“…Wasn’t there any resistance from the church?”
“It was something that His Holiness himself suggested. There was some backlash, but His Holiness resolved it.”
Estelle added a word at the end of her answer.
“…Still, these days I want to quit being a priest.”
“…Yes?”
“Nothing. We will also follow the hero.”
Estelle drove her horse, and after Celine thought for a while, she realized her true intentions and looked at Abel.
‘…It was as if the hero was loved by the goddess.’
#
Abel is heading towards the wave of monsters, and he watches the monster that looks like a crocodile in front of her.
‘Is it a high-level monster?’
The size was very large, and the sense of intimidation felt was hard to see as a mid-level monster. Seeing Abel, the monster opened its mouth.
Seeing her jaw wide open like a crocodile, Abel grabbed her holy sword with her right hand and drew runes in the air with her left hand and ran out.
The character he drew is ice (氷). Abel completed the runes and chanted an incantation.
“Ice Spear.”
A sharp ice spear appeared and flew between the monster’s jaws.
Hook!
“―――!”
The monster screamed as the spear was stuck in its throat. The monster began to writhe in agony.
“Oh, good.”
Seeing the gigantic body rampaging wildly, hurting the same monster, Abel threw a punch.
However, because of its size, the monster’s struggles were threatening even to the soldiers.
Abel jumped high to catch her breath. She intended to ride on the monster’s back.
“Huh!?”
But she jumped higher than expected. The body strengthened by divine protection had a much higher athletic ability than Abel had expected.
“Uhhhhh!!!”
Abel hurriedly thrust down the Holy Sword. Fortunately, the holy sword pierced the monster’s neck with a whooshing sound. Having stabbed the monster’s neck, Abel muttered as his legs trembled.
“…I have to run moderately.”
As Abel killed the monster in an instant, the morale of the soldiers skyrocketed.
“The hero killed Ager!”
“Follow the hero! He will lead us to victory!”
‘…Ah?’
Abel wondered if the name of the monster he had caught was ‘Ager’.
‘I’m not sure. It’s probably because it resembles a crocodile, so it’s called ‘Ageo’.
Abel pulled out the holy sword. Then blood splattered and stained his face and armor.
“…Ac.”
After roughly wiping the blood from his face, Abel again ran around holding the holy sword. Normally, the hero would aim for a strong monster or final goal while the soldiers were dealing with miscellaneous monsters, but Abel did not do that. As if he didn’t want the soldiers to get hurt, he slashed away at the monsters in front of them that were threatening them.
Abel, who received divine protection, was truly incomparable. The low- and mid-level monsters were no longer an opponent. Each time he swung his holy sword, one or more monsters fell.
“Oh, hero!!”
“Even we can’t lose! Fight with all your might and sacrifice your life!!!”
‘Are you really a berserker?’
He was fighting for the safety of the soldiers, but Abel shook his head when he saw the soldiers rushing at him with more enthusiasm.
Then Celine approached Abel.
“Hero.”
“Celine, why is that?”
“See over there?”
Following the direction Celine’s finger pointed, Abel’s eyes lit up.
“Oh, it’s a dragon!”
“It’s not a dragon. That’s a monster called Drake. As the hero said, it’s a monster that looks like a dragon, but it doesn’t have wings. If you see red skin, it’s a fire drake.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“It’s a wyvern-class dangerous monster, but if left alone, soldiers could be swept away by Drake’s ‘semi-breath’. Can you handle it?”
Abel swallowed her saliva at the word that it was dangerous as a wyvern. She said she did, but she realized that if she wasn’t herself, she wouldn’t be the one to call that.
“I’ll try.”
“Yes, please.”
As Abel ran out, Celine glanced back at her Estelle and asked.
“Are you really not going to fight?”
“…I’m just preparing for the unexpected. I’m not an ideal person like the hero.”
“…Unexpectedly, you are very calm.”
Celine commented that way, but she didn’t think that Estelle’s judgment was wrong. Celine saw warriors fighting Amon-class monsters from a little distance away.
If the heroes failed to subdue it, Estelle was the only one who could solve the situation. It was a natural decision to save strength for that time.
“Then I will fight hard.”
《 Divine Arrow 》
The whirlwind arrows appeared. The arrows flew through the air and pierced the monsters’ bones.
“…You are doing quite well.”
“I have my own title as a saint.”
It was a divine spell. Seeing that it was quite large, it looked like at least a bishop’s level.
《Divine Sword》
This time, the wind sword appeared and cut down the monster. The casting time of the s*xual act wasn’t too slow, and he was properly helping the soldiers.
‘That would be helpful to the hero.’
From noble mtl dot com.
Estelle turned her gaze to Abel. He was aiming for Drake before he knew it and dug deep into it.
‘…When did you go like that?’
The speed at which Abel approached Drake was so fast that even Estelle was a little surprised. She didn’t ignore the monsters that lined up in front of Drake, the key was to cut them all down and pass them by.
“…You have grown a lot, hero&”
#
Drake. When I saw it up close, it really resembled the dragon I was imagining. As Celine said, except for the fact that she doesn’t have wings… She’s cool.
“…Can’t you ride a monster?”
…This isn’t a game, so it won’t work. Drake spotted me and opened his mouth wide.
“Kooooo!!!”
Wow… That’s so noisy. Apart from noise pollution, this is noise terrorism.
“It’s noisy, so I’ll have to cut off the neck first.”
Drake let out a roar and held fire in his mouth.
“Is that what Celine said?”
Semi-Breath, it’s not a dragon, so the name came from using dragon-like skills. Seeing the raging flames, it seemed that it would be difficult to survive if hit.
I can’t make you open your mouth.
I immediately drew runes with my empty left hand. The Chinese character I wrote is bonghalbong (封).
As Drake was about to open his mouth, he immediately shouted.
“Shilling!”
As he shouted the chant, Drake’s mouth was sealed with rope-shaped mana. Drake’s mouth was forcibly closed, and I immediately swung the holy sword.
Hooung!
“Ugh!?”
What are these…Ah, paws.
Quaang!!!
I was struck by Drake’s forepaw, and I was blown to the side and slammed to the ground.
“Ouch…”
…I didn’t think of the forefoot because I paid attention to the breath.
Maybe it was because of the protection, it didn’t hurt too much. If I had been hit with my bare body, I would have left this world right away.
Fortunately, the effect of the magic has not yet ended. Drake scratched his face with his front paw and tried to peel off the rope.
“…Going again.”
Tap, he kicked the ground with his foot. I grabbed the Holy Sword with both of his hands and ran quickly, aiming for Drake’s neck, but Drake eventually pulled off the rope.
“!”
Scorching flames erupted from the drake’s mouth. I kicked the floor with my left foot and turned quickly. I avoided avoiding it, but it’s difficult to balance…
…Found.
I overturned and grabbed the holy sword. Then, he slammed it into Drake’s forefoot.
“Kwaaah!”
I twisted the holy sword that had pierced my forepaw and flipped my body backwards. Holding onto the handle of the Holy Sword, I was able to land on the floor in the correct posture.
…Mom, I did the back tumbling I’ve never done in my life.
Drake, who lost one of his front paws, was back in flames.
Don’t let me hurt you, you bastard.
I knew it when I saw it earlier. There was no need to avoid that. In the end, the breath comes out of Drake’s mouth in a straight line. That said, there was an empty space.
Drake released his breath. I immediately dug into the blind spot where the breath couldn’t reach.
The heat alone was quite hot, but it wasn’t too much to bear with a blessed body.
“Your playing with fire ends there, Drake!”
The hind legs were cut with the holy sword. The same right leg as the forepaw that was pierced earlier. Drake lost all the support to support his balance on one side, and the unbalanced Drake began to fall sideways.
I grabbed the holy sword with both hands and threw it straight up.
Kidduck!
The sound of bones breaking was heard. The holy sword pierced Drake’s backbone, that is, his spine. As I twisted the holy sword sideways, there was a sound of bones breaking. Blood and fragments of broken bones poured from the wound.
Drake’s nerves were shattered, and his body trembled, then the spasms gradually subsided and his movement stopped.
“Whoa…”
Looking at Drake’s dead body in my hand, I realized one thing.
…Guardian is a b*tch buff.
“The hero subdued Drake!!”
“Wow!!!”
I’m surprised, when did you get here?
Soldiers had pushed the wire up to the vicinity at some point. When they saw that I had subdued Drake, they screamed and rushed at the monsters.
“Kill! Kill or we will die!!”
“Wow!!! We can’t lose either! Fight with your life!!!”
…Really, why are all the soldiers here doing that?
#
“Hmm.”
Estel watched Abel’s battle with interest. It was a bit disappointing that he showed a gap and allowed a blow with his front foot, but it was good to see him identify and use the weakness of his semi-breath right after.
‘You’re talented, too. Because he grows up fast.’
At this rate of growth, maybe soon…
“…It won’t be long before I become the wonderful warrior that I want~&”
Abel suddenly trembled all over her body.
“…??”
With a sudden chill, Abel looked around her, tilted her head, and went back to fighting.
