138 – The Holy Knights and the Saint
Yes, honestly, I had expected this to happen since Goddess Neiros took away my divine power.
Since I no longer have the divine power of the Church of Neiros, if I find out that I use the same orange divine power as the warrior, even if excommunication is not achieved, I will not be able to maintain the position of a saint in the church any longer.
“Saint Prin, we have confirmed that you are using the divine power of a different god, not Neiros-nim’s, as rumored.”
But I never really imagined that I would make it this far.
Even with my poor common sense, I knew that the hero’s divine power was orange, so I thought he would listen if I told him to investigate the facts.
“As the pope ordered, I will execute you after interrogation.”
However, if there was one fact they had forgotten, it was the fact that the Pope of the Neiros Church was not a good person and that the priests there were crazy about the goddess Neiros.
The paladins and cardinals with half-dead eyes equally drew their swords and held out their swords to me.
“Now, former Saint Prin, if you will follow me for interrogation from now on, the pope will especially avoid a public execution.”
… Wake. Prin, this was to be expected.
It’s just that the Pope was a bit more greedy than expected, and the paladins were blinded by the words of the goddess like themselves in the past.
“hate… What if?”
“I can’t help it.”
As soon as the word of refusal came out, two paladins came out and rushed into the afterlife at high speed.
“Even if it’s not the divine power of the goddess, it seems to have divine power, so even if I take an arm or a leg, I won’t die.”
“Does it look like that!!”
Pew!!
Before I could unleash divine power against the paladins, Xenovia moved first.
I drew my sword, blocked the paladin who was aiming for my leg with the sword, and hit the stomach of the holy guru who was aiming for my arm.
There was not a single wound left on my body from the clean linking action, and rather, only the paladin was thrown far away and flew away. But no one showed emotion on their faces.
like a doll
“This is how it felt.”
Seeing it in person is an unpleasant sight.
A doll that carries out the goddess’ commands as if it has lost its emotions… One’s own image is projected into the past.
And the moment you think of such a past, of course, the feelings of that time come back.
“I… You won’t regret it anymore.”
As the divine power hidden inside the body bursts out, the attention of the surrounding paladins is drawn. Originally, I had never fought a battle like this before, so it was obvious that I wouldn’t be an opponent at all.
No, even if the hero’s divine power is compared to the paladins who have been honed and polished for themselves for years, even decades, even if they have returned, it won’t work for me.
“Whoa… .”
Take a deep breath and focus your holy power on your eyes, arms, and legs.
So what I do from now on is just struggling.
“Prin, accept it as soon as possible… .”
Paang!!!!
Before the paladin could finish his words, his hand struck the paladin’s abdomen with precision.
and flew away That paladin was flying far away by my hand.
“nice… ugh!!”
He lifts his head while quickly healing the pain and muscles bursting out of his skin on his arms and legs without a chance to rejoice with his divine power.
I lost my mind for a moment, but three swords are flying towards me.
Right foot, heart, left arm.
When I accurately grasped the target area of my strengthened eyes, I twisted my body to avoid fatal wounds and managed to keep my balance, but I couldn’t help it.
Awesome!
You have to give something.
The left arm cut by the paladin fell to the floor and the bright red blood tried to splatter, but stopped the bleeding with holy power.
Feel relieved after touching the cross section.
It’s good that the other person is a skilled paladin.
“ha… ha… .”
Wood deok! Awesome!!!
A new arm is constructed in place of the torn off arm.
Muscles attach to the pure white bones, and nerves are formed. If you create the shape of your arm by creating fat, cover the skin as it is and finish the minimum first aid.
“… Is such a thing even possible?”
“Yes, it consumes a lot of divine power to the point where I really sigh.”
Regenerate the arm around the bone. I studied a lot about the structure of the human body to do this from before.
“It’s all thanks to you.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
I don’t know about the other side, but I studied the structure of the human body not only officially as now, but when I was supported as a real saint within the church like Lian.
I studied by disassembling the corpses of death row inmates.
Perhaps the ones who saved those corpses are the paladins in front of me now.
According to the will of the Goddess, according to the words of the Pope who receives the words of the Goddess, I must have killed the person who was chosen as a death row inmate and brought it to me.
“I must have lost my mind. Quickly catch that crazy woman and take her to the church.”
“yes.”
As the paladins stance according to the words of the commander of the Holy Knights, they raise their holy power again.
“Have I forgotten?”
“Xenovia?”
Thinking that she might be dealing with another paladin, Xenovia approached me.
Could it be that he defeated the paladin?
When I turned my head with a thought, there were two paladins lying on the floor with their whole bodies hacked to pieces.
“I can’t just be weak.”
“… Yes. We know that better than anyone.”
should not be weak
That’s why even if Rian accepted us, it would only cause him a nuisance.
“Are we sinners?”
“Yes, originally, it is a sin that has never been forgiven.”
If it wasn’t for Rian, neither I nor Xenovia would have been forgiven.
There is only one reason why we were forgiven.
It’s because the human named Ryan Primal is kind enough to be stupid.
“So… We must pay for that sin.”
You can’t get caught in a place like this.
If I get caught like this, it’s obvious that I’ll get in the way of Lian, who has come to take a break.
“… That’s not going to break your mind if you cut off an arm or a leg a few times.”
Having said that, the leader of the Order of the Holy Knights drew his sword and slowly walked towards me and Xenovia, boiling white holy power.
“From now on, we will subdue the fallen Saint Prin.”
“yes!!!”
*****
Red blood bursts toward the sky.
Prin opens her purple eyes wide and tries to dodge the attack, but as if saying that her body does not become a superhuman just because her body vision has improved, she sees only the attack that will come in with a fatal wound and narrowly avoids it.
heart, lungs, liver.
No matter how good the recovery by divine power is, if the vital organs collapse, it should be considered impossible to treat in a combat situation like this.
“Turn it off!!”
Pudeuk! Pududeuk!!
Originally, the regeneration of arms and legs was impossible in such a short time, but Prin’s divine power made it possible.
This is thanks to the knowledge accumulated over decades. As of yet, the method of strengthening divine power and effective treatment that had not yet been revealed clearly remained in the mind of Prin, who had lived as the only saint of the church.
“Wouldn’t it be strange if there was excessive bleeding?”
“ha… ha… .”
Prin looked around at the words of the commander of the Holy Knights, and a laugh burst out of his mouth.
Sisanhyeolhae was created. And only with his own blood and corpse.
“Eight arms, 14 legs… You know very well that normally, it’s a level where you should have been shocked right away.”
“Puhh… I don’t know because I’m so stupid that I don’t know that.”
The commander of the Holy Knights, frowning at the laughter that erupted from his mouth, raised his sword once more, but the charge had already ended a long time ago.
Awesome!!
An arm falls to the floor again, blood pouring out of it like a fountain.
and it plays
“ha… ha… .”
“Why don’t you die?”
At this time, blood regeneration through divine power was still known to be impossible.
There’s really nothing too difficult about doing it.
It just hurts terribly, and it just doesn’t work.
The whole body is hot because the blood vessels are overheated. It’s been a long time since my vision has been dyed bright red thanks to the rupture of the blood vessels in my eyes.
Maybe later, after this fight, if you check your whole body, you won’t know about the internal organs, but the blood vessels will be in tatters like rags.
“Still, the other one is down.”
“!! Zenobia!”
Hearing the words of the commander of the Holy Knights, he hurriedly called Xenovia, but there was no answer.
In a way, it is natural. Because Xenovia’s ability has been far behind that of other knights since before. No matter how much he regressed, he would be physically pushed back if he fought dozens of paladins.
“… I’m going crazy.”
The paladins who defeated Xenovia surround me.
At this point, I don’t think giving up arms or legs will be enough… .
“It’s over.”
When the commander of the Holy Knights raised his hand, all the Paladins grabbed their swords and came towards me.
will it be no, don’t worry
Further attacks are useless.
Concentrate your holy power only on your eyes and legs and prepare to dodge… .
Pew!!!
“!!!”
something fell from the sky
What was it that fell next to you?
“what the… .”
There was no need to worry.
The voice I heard among the dust and smoke was a very familiar voice.
“Are these bastards really annoying with timing?”
After saying that, Rian swung her black sword at the Holy Knights with her golden eyes sparkling.
