4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (68)
All of a sudden, forces were gathering on the battlefield.
Celine, who had jumped out long ago, was fighting a bloody battle with a lump of flesh and trying to break through.
Flesh and blood splattered every time the explosion sounded, but unlike Ian, her speed was sluggish. It was because the gap in skill was clear.
Even so, Celine still had a desperate look on her face.
Fortunately, Ian had already cleared the route, so Celine’s life did not appear to be in danger. However, the remaining enemies were only a little muddy.
On the other hand, Elsie had no reason to walk that far.
On the contrary, it was better for the mage to secure a wider field of view. It was because supporting firepower from a distance was the main role of a wizard in the first place.
This was no different for a battle mage specializing in high-speed chanting.
So far, Elsie has been responding to the rapidly changing war situation at close range. However, if given time, more powerful and extensive magic could be cast.
Even so, I didn’t know how well it would work for that ‘corpse giant’.
Elsie chewed on the potion bottle in her pocket while chewing her lips in anxiety.
Even if it was impossible, I had to do my best.
Because it was a fight that started with determination.
And there was a woman who ran out before Elsie, but was still confused.
It was a saintess.
Of course, this was purely due to the fact that there were people who persistently held her back.
After the saintess jumped out of her seat, there was a man who stopped and grabbed her again and again.
It was Yuren, the knight of the escort of the saintess.
In my heart, I wanted to ignore Yuren and leave, but the saintess was a priest and Yuren was a swordsman. In terms of physical ability, there was no jaw to compete with.
Eventually, the impatient saintess revealed her true nature.
“Yuren, won’t you get out of the way right now?! If this goes wrong with Ian, you will die and I will die too… … .”
“sister… Please stop now.”
However, Yuren blocked the saintess’s path until the end.
It was the attitude of never letting the saintess go.
That was natural.
He was an escort knight, and protecting the safety of the saintess was his top priority.
At first glance, it was impossible to send the saintess to a terrifying battlefield.
Of course, it was possible to transmit divine power even from a somewhat distant location.
It meant that it was not necessary to be close to the target for combat assistance.
But it wasn’t a cure.
The treatment was a meticulous task that required consideration of the detailed location and condition of the injury. It was impossible to do this from a distance.
And now, what the saintess valued more than anything else was Ian’s life.
The man she loved seemed to be out of breath right away, but the saintess didn’t have much patience to stand in the rear.
On the contrary, she was on the verge of going crazy.
“Yuren, this is an order. If you don’t get out of the way right now, we’ll formally refer you to trial later… … !”
“Yes, yes, refer me… Sister, don’t you want me to save Ian?”
As Yuren said that, he gave a frustrated look.
Regardless, when the saintess glanced at her and showed signs of devising a way out, he began to persuade with a more sorrowful tone.
“But we have different weights of responsibility. Everyone else says it’s okay when you die, but what if you die?”
Only then did the saintess flinch and show a slight reaction.
Light pink eyes filled with dissatisfaction stared at Yuren.
Yuren had to swallow a laugh.
To think that the arrogant and cold-hearted older sister could change to this extent.
I was confused whether to express respect or anger.
However, Yuren was only faithful to his mission.
“The political aftermath of the saintess’ death is beyond imagination. Of course, the followers of the Celestial Church will also have to go through a lot of confusion… How many people must be killed and injured in the meantime.”
“… … therefore?”
“It means that you shouldn’t be like this to your sister.”
Yuren’s words were logically correct.
Even the saintess just rolled her eyes slightly and couldn’t say anything.
Yuren let out a sigh of relief when he finally showed signs of communicating with the saintess. He continued his eloquent speech without delay.
“Sister, make a distinction between public and private… Originally, it was something my sister was good at. Calculating the profit and loss and making a political judgment.”
The saintess kept her mouth shut for a moment and averted her gaze.
Her eyes turned to the corpse giant in the distance.
There, her first love was still struggling.
The saintess bit her lip in silence.
Fearing that the saintess would shake him off and run away at any moment, Yuren had to risk his shame to summon a story from the distant past.
“You promised, to create a world where orphans like us don’t get sick… Sister, I still believe in that promise. Whatever you do to make that dream come true… … .”
“… … Yuren.”
It was a low word from the saintess.
Hearing that voice that wasn’t intimidated in the slightest, Yuren felt it.
oh, this won’t work
“What is the identity of that monster?”
“… … They are the family of the evil god.”
“By the way, the saintess of the Celestial Church and her escort knight are left behind, and a man who has nothing to do with the Celestial Church fights against that monster?”
Yuren tried to refute something, but he let out a deep sigh.
There was no way to break the saintess’ stubbornness any longer.
The saintess struck a decisive blow at Yuren, who had a troubled expression on her face.
“Be obedient.”
Because that is the mission given by the heavens.
In the end, Yuren raised both hands as if to surrender and chanted.
“… … Emmanuel.”
“If you don’t want to see me die, then do your best.”
The saintess then hurriedly took a step.
Her nervousness reached its peak, and the blood vessels in her brain seemed to be tangled.
How, how can I save Ian?
It was a body that had crossed the threshold of life and death as if eating a meal.
Even though he was sick of it, he couldn’t think of a way to reverse a losing battle right away.
It was then that Yuren finally grabbed the saintess by the shoulder.
The moment the saintess was about to glare at Yu-Ren with her lifeless eyes.
“… … Do you want to save Ian like that? At all costs?”
The voice of Yuren asking such a question was so serious.
The saintess had to keep her mouth shut for a moment with a look of bewilderment.
Then Yuren asked the saintess again.
“Sister, every choice has a price… If you want to save Ian, you have to pay the price. Does your sister have such a resolution?”
“… … I have.”
It was an answer that came without even hesitation.
Yuren silently glared at the saintess, but the saintess’ pale pink eyes did not waver.
Finally he clicked his tongue and took something out of his bosom and threw it.
The object that the saintess accepted without hesitation was a blood-colored marble.
Realizing the true identity, the saintess let out an astonishment.
“Blood essence?! Yuren, if there was such a thing, you said it a long time ago… … !”
“Do you know how difficult it is to make them? Even now, I can only think of using it right now.”
The saintess was speechless for a moment at Yuren’s grunt, but then smiled with a smirk.
“… … Of course.”
Can’t stop the corpse giant?
The story was different if there was an offering that was about the size of blood.
Because she was the most beloved maiden of the heavenly gods and one of the best priests.
Ian can be saved.
The feeling of relief made the saintess feel like she was about to collapse from exhaustion.
Looking at the saintess, without even knowing that Yuren was grumbling.
“Oh, I really can’t… If this happens, the political position is at stake again… … .”
A thump, and the sound of the ground being smashed echoed.
Stepping on the shaking ground, the saintess’s devastated gaze turned to the center of the battlefield.
There, Ian was blown away by the shock wave and rolled on the ground.
The saintess immediately regained her sanity.
“… … Ian!”
And seeing the saintess running frantically, Yuren couldn’t help but click her tongue.
Sometimes you act like you’ll be single for the rest of your life.
There was a saying that late first love is scary, but it seemed to be true.
Yuren kicked the ground, and countless solid lines were engraved on the bodies of the two lumps of flesh that turned their heads after hearing the saintess’s screams.
And the flesh and blood that burst out like an explosion.
It was like a flash of light.

Just like that, another man began to carve bloody trails on the battlefield.
**
But not everyone grasped the situation.
Behind the corpse giant, it was difficult to grasp the details of the situation. It was because a huge body comparable to a small mountain was blocking the view.
So, the soldiers of the Yurnida family couldn’t properly grasp the situation.
I don’t know if it was a short procession, but it was a march leading up to 1,000 soldiers.
Even when marching at high speed, it took time to properly secure the field of vision.
However, it was a situation where commanders like Seria and Alex could not leave their seats.
If either Seria or Alex had jumped out first and grasped the situation, Seria wouldn’t have been so shocked.
As soon as she saw the center of the battlefield, she froze.
As if in disbelief, an unspeakable voice flowed from Seria’s mouth.
“Uh, uh, ah… This, Senior Ian… … .”
Seria’s index finger pointing to the battlefield was trembling.
Alex, on the other hand, only smiled with a look of excitement.
“You are truly a Confucius. When I was young, I didn’t even avoid such an impossible fight… … .”
“Senior Ian is about to die!”
Of course, Alex’s wild laugh did not reassure Seria in the slightest.
As soon as Seria found Ian in a state of disrepair, she immediately bit her nails.
But that wasn’t the only thing that made Seria anxious.
Signs of a strange change were being detected in the sky.
Woo woo woo woo woo-!
The corpse giant let out a scream.
The mouths spread all over the monster’s body opened their mouths in unison and let out a scream. It was an ugly enough sight in itself, but the results it brought about were even more devastating.
Staggering, torn corpses raise their bodies.
The parts of the body that couldn’t find their body fluttered and repeated pathetic self-expression. Most of them were eaten by chunks of flesh.
The chunk of flesh that had grown to a certain size was split in half with a scream.
Masses of flesh proliferated, and corpses that were once neighbors staggered away.
And they cried out to the sky.
Kieee
The corpse giant burst into laughter as if the roar were a symphony.
The core of the battlefield surrounded by hundreds or thousands of enemies.
There, a man was fixing his sword.
His golden eyes were proving his unfading fighting spirit.
Seria wanted to fall asleep like this.
The heat of the battle was finally reaching its climax.
