156 – Last Conversation between Pope and Saint (Revised)
Another ship sank to the bottom of the sea.
As the golden light falls once again, the priests who had been smiling brightly look up at the sky with faces full of despair.
“Oh God… .”
The people of the Church of Neiros who saw the golden light thought it was another effect created by the sanctuary.
In fact, the golden light spread divine power similar to their own, and since the sanctuary had only been declared once in the past, they did not know what would happen.
So I thought this was also the new power of the sanctuary.
Even until that golden light wiped out a ship.
“What is this?”
Instantly seeing the facial expressions of the priests, who thought it was an abnormality in their eyes, Lian smiled at the pleasure he felt after a long time and once again gathered the sacred power overflowing on this island into the holy sword.
And it wasn’t until the second ship was destroyed without even leaving ashes that the people of the Neiros Church came to their senses.
What was in front of them was not a power created by the sanctuary, but a monster with the power to destroy them in an instant.
The problem was that by the time I noticed that, the third ship had already started sinking.
Also, in order for this attack to end, he must pray that he use up all the sacred power gathered by over 10,000 priests of the church just to create the sanctuary.
aaa!!!!
*****
“ha… ha… Damn you!!!!”
right under the huge ship.
The Pope, who has been moving his fat body, lets out a rough breath and runs somewhere.
“The Pope!?”
“Where the hell are you going!!”
I wanted to stop the pope from running away, lightly ignoring the words of the priests who were waiting in the boat, but they couldn’t move.
“Stop that bitch right now!!!”
Because I had to obey the pope.
While having doubts, the body obeyed the pope’s words and walked in the direction the pope had come from. A woman with white hair arrived in front of the clergy.
“… long time no see. everyone.”
“Saint?”
Is that the woman the pope told me to stop?
Prin smiled brightly at the cleric who was worried for a moment and threw a sharpened blade of magic at the agonizing priest.
“And goodbye.”
Along with the saintess’ words, the priests’ upper and lower bodies were separated and bloody winds blew on the vessel again, but that was only for a moment.
Hwaaak!!
At the same time as pure white light came out, the corpse was reduced to divine power.
“It’s a sanctuary… I don’t like the goddess Neiros, but one technique is really well made.”
The holy power flowing through the handmade rosary fills up the holy power even if you don’t pray.
It completely decomposes the body except for the soul that should normally die and meet peace, and creates it with divine power. There are still questions about whether humans can use this ability, but the foolish people of the Church of Neiros still don’t know about it.
Regarding the Sanctuary, Rian saw and recognized the magic circle when the Sanctuary was activated in his previous life, so Prin also knew about it.
They didn’t even know that it was replaced with the divine power they were using.
“By the way, Pope!! Are you really okay with letting the priests die like this!!!”
He shouted at the pope, but all that came back to Prin was a chilly wind.
Kwaaa!!!
“… There is no need for me to be afraid.”
Prin’s body shakes by itself at the sound from far away.
He knew well what the effect of the flash of light from the holy sword was.
When making the imitation holy sword, he talked to Lian and made a plan to engrave a magic that would have a similar effect on the imitation holy sword, but Prin himself decided that it was impossible to realize.
“Because this is the 7th time… There are only about 20 left.”
Originally, it was terrifying when a ship worthy of the name of a giant ship came with over 500 dogs of the church, but as soon as Lian appeared, the situation changed rapidly.
The ships carrying the priests all fell into good prey.
Cardinals and Paladins, who had been strong, lost confidence in front of Lian’s knife, and lost their lives.
“At this rate, the church will completely collapse.”
It was already collapsed, but I said it in the thought that it would not respond to these words, but the only thing that greeted Prinne, who had descended underground, was the sound of the Pope’s footsteps, which were getting farther and farther away.
That’s probably what the Pope is thinking by now.
“If I survive, I will be able to revive the Church again.”
“Or should I survive and live as a parasitic to the aristocrats who gave money to the church?”
“ah! You can think of living as a doctor for an aristocratic family.”
A word from Prin was slowly slowing the Pope’s steps, which had been waddling away.
The pope, who had been running away in a cold sweat like a person stabbed in the bone, ran with only the thought that he had to get on the lifeboat and escape quickly.
I didn’t want to do this, but I can’t help it.
I saw the warrior’s attack.
The ship disappeared in an instant with absurd divine power.
The other believers were talking nonsense because it was a miracle of God, but seeing the hero’s smile, the Pope knew that it was the hero’s work, and he knew that the hero had used killing magic against them.
so he ran away
He knew that if he stayed there anyway, the hero would shoot down that chunk of light at him.
Whether or not the church collapsed, it was not Al Paba.
Does the Goddess expect a real, sincere priest from a man who justifies running away by saying that he wants me to live too?
“Huh!!!”
No way.
Maybe even the goddess didn’t feel sorry for making this guy the pope?
The ability to roll the head is good, and the loss and gain are well seen and judged.
In terms of ability alone, he was a capable man. However, I forgot one fact because I only saw the world as loss and gain.
The fact that people sometimes don’t judge rationally.
bang!!
“Hee!!”
“You are disgustingly surprised.”
Shaking his head at the pope’s scream, Prin appeared and violently tore off the iron handles that were scattered on the floor.
Prin’s abilities, strengthened by the warrior’s divine power, were not enough, so the iron bar pulled out with the excess muscle strength flew off in an instant and was lodged in the Pope’s stomach.
“Kuhheh!!”
It was protected by holy power, but the holy power strengthened in the sanctuary was not only the holy power of the pope.
As the orange divine power that radiated softly suddenly attacked the pope, he slammed to the floor in a posture similar to that of a frog used in an anatomy experiment.
“Cool! Cool!!”
The pope spurts blood, but soon even that blood is replaced with divine power and goes to Prin.
As the pope who declared sanctuary, he knew some common sense, so he tried to draw the divine power to himself, but soon he just screamed at the pain he felt in his shin.
“No. If you struggle for nothing.”
The pope, who saw Prinne smiling softly, tried to shout something, but before that, Prinne grabbed the pope by the neck.
Kwak!!
“Quack… Queueek!!”
“It sounds like a pig being pulled.”
Prin, who said that, slowly poured holy power into the Pope’s body through her hands.
Since it was the hero’s divine power, Prin confirmed that it was well blended into the Pope’s body, which had Neiros’ divine power.
“What… .ha…kweg!”
“Ah, don’t worry. It’s just because I need to be prepared to return a little of what I heard from Rian.”
What Prin did was really simple.
While collecting divine power at random, gather a full amount of divine power in every bone in the body.
It was a skill that was possible because the sacred power overflowed in the sanctuary, but Prin’s eccentricity did not stop.
“Okay, now that the stock is ready, it’s time to finish it.”
Prin, who said that, calmly applied reinforcements to the pope’s body.
In particular, every time I cast an ability related to durability, I felt the desire to ask Prin what the Pope was trying to do.
At first, when dealing with divine power, I knew how to torture.
But what about strengthening the body?
why?
But regardless, Prin hummed a song and finished all the strengthening magic prepared, then grabbed the iron bar on his stomach.
“You know what, Pope?”
thump… thump… .
Prin, who lightly lifted the Pope who weighed over 100kg, moved slowly.
To the vast sea where nothing can be seen.
“Wait a minute!?”
The Pope, now realizing what he had done, tried to speak, but the Pope, who looked into Prin’s eyes, realized it all over again.
He’s about to dump me in the middle of the sea.
“wait!! Prin, there’s still something I can do for you!!! Isn’t it too wasteful to kill!?”
Watching the pope babble about his values, Prinne said, keeping a smile on his face.
“If you have divine power, even if you can’t breathe, you won’t die!”
“What crazy talk is that!!”
The pope shouted, straining the veins in his neck, but Prine only tilted her head.
“No, I just want to give the Pope a taste of it.”
chin.
Prin, who arrived at the prepared space at the back of the boat, smiled brightly.
That smile is so bright… It was enough to make the pope’s words come out of the mouth of a saint he would never have thought to be.
“M, crazy bitch… !”
“Yes, I am crazy. That’s why I betrayed the hero… But there is more trash than that, so I just want to get rid of it. I also wanted to completely cut ties with the goddess Neiros.”
Having said that last word, Prin stretched out her hand holding the iron bar toward the sea.
“Oh, sleep… !!”
“I believe you don’t need a will. It was the same for the warrior.”
with a plop!!!
So the Pope headed into the sea.
I arrived at the bottom of the sea without understanding the meaning of the last prin’s words… He has blown 2 holy power stocks so far.
There are now 204 counts left.
