Chapter 76 .
Yuriel’s eyes captured the whole scene clearly.
From the moment the Ain woman was resurrected, until Aiden embraced her and disappeared over the lake.
Uriel remembered each scene clearly.
The eyes looking at each other, the eyes intertwined in the air, and the voice whispering love.
and kiss.
Something snapped in Yuriel’s head. It was neither reason nor emotion, but the conscience that sustained her.
Uriel came to realize that God is not omnipotent.
I found the contradiction hidden in the teachings of God, and I was in a state of abandoning my blind faith.
However, she was still a saint.
He was an apostle who borrowed his divine power and was a believer who spread the will of God.
Uriel still served Bacheksar.
The still faith may have originated from the years of living a lifetime as a religious person.
Perhaps it sprouted from the brainwashing of those around you, or from the miracles that Bacheksar lends.
Even if God is not a perfect being, Uriel felt worthwhile preaching the gospel because his teachings had many beautiful values.
Rather, she harbored hope from the moment she realized the true nature of Bacheksar.
This world was not built by omniscient beings. In other words, it meant that there was room left to pursue the ideal.
Help the weak, be tolerant, and fight evil.
Uriel had only these three goodness in his heart.
They were the roots of the values she held dear.
Other teachings were excluded.
In other words, it meant that the Bacheksar served by Uriel was no longer Bacheksar.
This process could be seen as the starting point of all heresy and cheating.
And it was clear that Aiden had the greatest influence on her apostasy.
Help the weak, be tolerant, and fight evil.
If I had to pick a person who practiced that teaching, all the people of the empire would point to Aiden.
Uriel’s new faith was clearly looking at Aiden.
Of course she wasn’t aware.
He just had a rational crush on Aiden. I believed that and thought to suppress it slowly.
Because she was still God’s woman. Even historically, there were many saints who had such concerns.
A lot of people got through it, and they thought they could too.
but.
I just realized that it’s all bullsh*t.
Looking at the sympathy between the two, she was overcome with unbearable emotions.
Despair, envy, anger, hatred.
Yuriel already had no awareness that she was a woman of God.
She was no longer a saint.
An ordinary woman, deprived of her loved one, was only hurting in low feelings.
I hated Iden so much.
The man who took everything. He was relieved as he held another woman in his arms.
It was too hard for Uriel to bear that appearance.
It was miserable and hopeless.
Even the fact that she felt these feelings bothered her.
There was no more conscience left to support her, no more piety left.
Uriel was empty.
The feelings he had cultivated towards Aiden in his unconsciousness would no longer be able to be reciprocated.
It felt like the reason for my existence had disappeared.
Uriel wept bitterly, then confessed his sins to Shiron, who was very embarrassed.
It meant to be punished.
Ironically, Aspect Corps Chiron was unable to kill Yuriel.
To think that the saintess loved someone other than God. Since the Aspect knew that fact, summary execution was the natural order.
However, Shiron was nailed to his place and was in conflict.
Uriel could only admire the influence of a human named Iden.
so he threatened
Now I don’t know what to do.
After declaring that you would report your master to the Church, Shiron moved.
Under the moon watching, Chiron took out a halberd and held it up.
The drizzling blue day glistened in the moonlight.
Shiron said in a low voice.
“I will not accept confessions. So you cannot be pardoned by death, and your sins will be reported differently.”
A confession was a confession written by a death row in order to be forgiven by God.
Atonement by death. Shiron couldn’t even protect that right.
If Yuriel’s confession is submitted to the church, the damage will be directed at Iden.
Uriel didn’t want that kind of ending either.
Apart from the feeling of hatred, Uriel did not think that all of this was Iden’s fault.
At the thoughtless action, the woman who was mistaken and shaken by herself was none other than herself.
So I didn’t want to harm him.
Because Aiden was her only hope to make this world bright and beautiful.
The reason why Uriel wanted to die was to atone for himself out of self-loathing.
It wasn’t the resentment of being betrayed, the loss of the man you loved, or the revenge against someone.
Uriel knelt down.
He looked up at Shiron and said.
“······I hope he doesn’t know my heart. Please.”
minimal ego. Or maybe it was the psychology of not wanting to give Aiden even the slightest hint of guilt.
Chiron said.
“sorry. You cannot lie to your lord.”
Uriel had a bitter smile.
What will be Aiden’s reaction after hearing the report? The expression the blunt man would make. It was embarrassing because it was obvious without even thinking about it.
I had to accept one.
I closed my eyes.
Chiron bit his lip and strode closer.
Actually, she didn’t want to kill Yuriel either, but she couldn’t help it.
Because the character of a saint was an element of anxiety.
If Yuriel, who was kept alive, informed the Church of everything, Iden would not be able to escape easily.
Shiron said in the most calm voice.
“Saint Vacheksar, the saint of generosity has stepped on the wrong path. Unforgivable impiety, but she preached the gospel and did good all her life. Please, grant me a handful of mercy.”
From noble mtl dot com
Chiron raised his halberd.
“I will send the guilty to judgment.”
A huge blade falls at right angles.
The moment it touches the thin neckline,
Shiron heard Aiden’s cry.
I turned my head. It was right after I felt the taste of a hand digging into my skin.
Iden was nowhere to be seen.
The feeling in his hand was also strange. It’s not the neatness that cuts off a slender neck…
“Chiron.”
A voice from the feet. When Shiron moved his eyes, he saw Iden.
He pointed at the halberd embedded in his shoulder while holding Yuriel in his arms.
It meant to pull out.
Shiron was startled and immediately retrieved his armament.
Suddenly, blood gushed from the half-torn cross section.
Aiden asked Shiron without changing his expression.
“What are you doing?”
Shiron was so flustered that he couldn’t speak properly. The fact that the sword was placed on the master’s body was enough to cause such a shock.
Aiden frowned and looked down at Uriel.
A trembling saintess. The eyes looking at Aiden were confused and shook.
Funny enough, her hand was on Aiden’s wound.
Iden grabbed Yuriel’s wrist as he approached.
“Why are you like this?”
He had roughly listened to the recitation of Shiron’s punishment.
What crime was it that he tried to slit his throat without any formalities?
The Yuriel Aiden knew was not a person capable of committing such a crime.
I alternately asked Shiron and Uriel the reason, but the two couldn’t explain properly.
Ainden frowned and said.
“Bring me a confession.”
Shiron hesitated and opened his mouth.
“Bar, no.”
“what?”
“······sorry.”
Aiden started to get frustrated. I tried to lift the saintess from her knees first, but Uriel shook Aiden’s hand.
“Do not touch. And I was going to accuse you. He communicates with Ain woman.”
Why the hell is Uriel? There seemed to be no motive.
Aiden looked at her with a puzzled look.
“As promised, I will not use my mind’s eye on the saintess.”
Then he turned his gaze to Shiron.
“Answer me. Is that statement true?”
Shiron already knew his authority. Also, I had no intention of lying.
“… it’s false.”
“then?”
As she pursed her lips, Iden’s expression hardened.
“Valkyrie, Chiron. Report the treatment process.”
Shiron stood up straight. Then she opened her mouth.
A calm report began, and as time passed, Iden’s face grew embarrassed.
Yuriel’s head was lowered, so her expression was not revealed.
Finally, when God’s mouth shut, Iden felt dizzy.
It wasn’t just because he confirmed Yuriel’s feelings.
Iden couldn’t twist the development of the broken saintess choosing death.
The reason for the collapse was just different from the original.
If it was due to the mind and faith in the work, Aiden was taking the place of that role this time.
I immediately looked at Yuriel.
She would have lost all powers and divine powers.
According to the original, it was.
The moment the saintess who abandoned her faith is completely destroyed, she degenerates into an ordinary person.
A development that should never happen. I tried hard to stop him, but Iden couldn’t stop it in the end.
Aiden met the sobbing Yuriel at eye level.
I tried to make such a request to express my divine power, but I couldn’t bear to let go of my mouth.
It was because the crying face was so sad and resembled Saya.
I couldn’t figure out what the hell to do.
Aiden just patted her on the back and thought about it until she stopped crying.
To him, Uriel was no longer valuable.
A saintess who cannot handle divine power and authority is just an ordinary woman.
such a great loss. A shadow passed over Aiden’s face.
It wasn’t just the feeling of loss of power.
For some reason, one side of my chest felt cold and sore.
Iden didn’t quite know the root of this feeling.
Whatever it was, I didn’t want to treat her like a useless object.
Perhaps it was because he remembered Yuriel’s generous kindness and consideration.
Loyalty and morality. Friendship built from person to person. Even if it wasn’t love, Iden had to take responsibility for her.
I looked at Yuriel.
He said while wiping away the tears.
“If the saintess dies, I won’t be able to bear it. I’ve always been selfish, but I’m still going to ask you a selfish favor. Please stay with me as you are now.”
Since she must have lost her divine power, she couldn’t perform the saintess’s role.
I was determined to find another role.
Aiden put a steel plate on his face and stood up again.
“Forget about God. However, now you just have to look at my back and follow me. I swear on this spot. I will make this world the world the saintess desires so much.”
It was sincere.
Without answering, Uriel reached out to Aiden’s wound.
Aiden put on a bitter expression.
“Saintess, now…”
At that moment, I saw a pure light.
The divinity burning in Uriel’s index finger shimmered more noblely than ever before.
Aiden and Yuriel’s expressions changed at the same time.
Iden was perplexed, and Uriel was stained with wonder.
Her eyes were engulfed in numerous messages.
Uriel spoke softly.
“Human beings are beautiful because they can be hypocritical… this is what it is,”
Aiden’s expression twisted in shock.

At that time, the fishy smell of blood seeped into the tip of Saya’s nose on the northern cold wave.
The smell of Aiden’s blood. The blue pupils held a cold chill.
Saya took a step back.
A blue figure crossed the night sky.
