276 – End – 3
“Huh!”
Margarita cheered up and swung her mace. As the mace filled with his divine power was swung, the head of the monster hit by the weight exploded into pieces, scattering blood and flesh.
Dirty bodily fluids and flesh were smeared on the pure white armor. But Margarita didn’t care at all. She went mad even more, as if she wanted more blood, and she went on a rampage.
It wasn’t just Margarita. Everyone in the Holy Kingdom was rushing with their eyes on to kill even one more monster with their own hands.
The competition was fierce, to the point where humans looked more ferocious than monsters.
“The Holy Son is watching over us! For the sun! For the moon!”
With Margarita’s encouragement, numerous monsters were sliced, burst, cut, and changed their names.
The corpses piled up like a mountain all over the battlefield, but there was virtually no human to be found among them.
It was a simple reason. The saint told me to prove my faith, but if I die, I can’t do that. That’s why he never fights to the point of neglecting his life.
Those who were wounded and transported to the rear were quickly treated and immediately returned to combat. It was only natural that everyone except the combatants in the Holy Land’s population took on the role of healers.
On the contrary, there were so many therapists compared to the number of injured that there was a competition to heal each other. Because that was the only way non-combatants could prove their faith.
“The light is weak! Weren’t your faith and belief only at that level!”
Margarita’s voice resounded across the battlefield. Upon hearing those words, a brighter and purer divine power erupted from the bodies of the battle nuns and paladins.
This was also the reason why Seongguk became more fanatical.
Since Delta caused the miracle of the sun and moon rising in the bloody sky, the divine power of all the subjects of the Holy Kingdom has been strengthened by at least one level.
Because I witnessed the miracle of faith becoming pure, faith firm, and divine power strengthening in front of my eyes, and I was feeling the aftermath of the miracle in real time, I couldn’t help but go wild with emotion.
Of course, the reality was not Delta, but Eclipse, but no one in the castle knew the truth.
“Where did you get hurt?”
“I broke my arm.”
Margarita, who took the lead in cleaning her monsters before anyone else, was transported to the rear for a while, and calmly raised one arm.
Her monster’s attack was blocked by the shield on her left arm, but the impact was so great that even after blocking it with the shield, her bones could not be fully absorbed and her bones were broken.
“Okay.”
The two nuns clung to each other and skillfully took off the gauntlets. Then I saw the broken bone tearing through the flesh and sticking out. The area around her was covered in her blood.
It was a sight that would make ordinary people frown upon seeing it, but no one here was surprised. I’ve seen too many wounds to be surprised by broken bones.
Margarita calmly knelt on her floor and began her prayer. In response, she had the nun chant her divine incantation over her broken bone. She wrapped a golden light around her broken arm.
After being imprisoned in hell for hundreds of years, Margarita quickly adapted to the current kingdom.
Recognized for her skills, she was promoted to a fairly high position in the Order of the Holy Knights. Her former skills were not perfect, but she regained quite a lot of them.
‘The person who saved me was a saint…… Perhaps my being in hell was the sun’s great will to help his temple.’
With a very grand delusion.
The fact that Delta was taken to Caicilia and Hell went through people’s mouths again and again, and it was covered that he left the temple with the holder of the holy sword to purify Hell before he knew it.
Margarita was saved by the saint herself, and she even became an eyewitness to that grace.
Hundreds of years of living in hell have long since been regarded as the wisdom of the sun and moon to help the Holy Son.
Of course, there were a couple of odd things about actually going to purify hell, but Margarita had already wonderfully restored her faith, so she ignored all those ‘minor’ discomforts.
From noble mtl dot com
“It is over.”
The nun withdrew the light. Margarita, who had moved her arm a few times, where her wound had healed, put on her armor again and raised herself up.
“Why are their numbers the same! You mean that was all your faith!”
“No!”
And then, with a loud cry, she plunged back into her battlefield.
A pair of silvery-white eyes were all watching this state of affairs.
Nyx grabbed his messy head and stopped sharing his vision. Since Minerva has become a holy kingdom to his alter egos, he ordered them to examine the empire more carefully and then cut off their sight sharing.
“I wondered if I might need help, but it turned out to be a useless worry.”
“Because they had the momentum to push themselves to the end of the continent without any help.”
“…… What the hell did that kid do?”
Minerva leaned back on her back, the body she had unwittingly raised. No answer came back, but it wasn’t a question she was expecting an answer to anyway, it was just close.
I couldn’t even imagine what he had done to change the calm and gentle people of the Seongguk to such a state.
“Hey, do you know anything about why monsters have changed like that?”
“There is a reason for guessing. Not sure.”
“A guess is fine. Please listen.”
“Probably because of that dragon. He was the one who informed the news that the Goddess was coming in such a hurry that she would come directly to his room.”
There was no particular reason other than that. In addition, if it is assumed that he is the one who mutated the monster, it even fits surprisingly well in terms of time.
“Still, something is strange.”
“What is strange?”
“If he was really the one who did this, there’s no way he’d just end up mutating monsters.”
There were a few things I heard from the goddess while reconstructing the body about the World Eater. Putting everything together, he was never the type to only strengthen and end monsters.
Minerva frowned and tried to question her, but a black orb appeared in front of Nyx’s eyes.
“This is a call from the former emperor. You must be ready to move on to the next step. It’s so much faster than me, it’s really ridiculous.”
Nyx stuck out his tongue. The pace of adaptation to memory was getting faster and faster. It was a very positive phenomenon, but strangely, it was hard to shake off the feeling of losing.
“We need to help Delta as soon as possible, so I’m going to leave. What about Minerva?”
“I will stay here. My body hasn’t fully recovered, and since the child said it was strange, I’ll have to keep an eye on the empire a little more.”
“Okay.”
Going straight back to the room, Nyx first checked the condition of Caicilia and Sister Pope.
Cayquilia was leaning back on the sofa, catching her breath, and her papal sisters looked just like Cayquilia, except they were clasped together. The rest hadn’t woken up yet.
“Have you recovered already? You are amazing.”
“…… Noisy. Go ahead and move on to the next one.”
“Next… ….”
Nix pondered for a moment. If it’s Caicilia, wouldn’t it be okay to start sharing real memories instead of tasting like this? It was a worry. Even starting now, she seemed to have plenty of potential.
“You are worried, short woman.”
Caecilia correctly read Nyx’s mind. The golden pupil shone faintly. Even though he gave up the position of emperor, Cacilia was still Cacilia.
“I am contemplating whether or not I can accept the requiem. If not, it would have implanted new memories as it has been. Am I wrong?”
“…… That’s right.”
Nix let out a small sigh. Since he was found out, it was pointless to hide him.
“Your adaptation speed is beyond my imagination. To be honest, I think there is a pretty good chance of success even if you start now. Of course, life comes first, so you have to be careful in your judgment, but—”
“Then do it. Right Now.”
Kai Killia strode over and met her eyes. Due to the considerable height difference between her, she was naturally positioned as Kai Killia looking down and Nix looking up.
“The fact that such concerns come true is the same as proving my potential. Isn’t Delta still fighting it? I can no longer waste time in vain. Can you hear me?”
It was futile, Nyx smiled bitterly. The moment something goes wrong, the soul can be broken, but such an attitude.
“Okay. If that’s what you want.”
“…… We also ask for it.”
I heard another voice right next to me. It was Floretta and Luna. Both of them stood up on their own. It’s a little slower than Caicilia, but the speed at which the two of them adapt was amazing.
“Are you all right, His Holiness the Pope?”
“Yes. The resolution is made.”
Floretta and Luna nodded with determined expressions. Nyx stared at the other six who bowed their heads in a daze, still unable to get out of the memory, and calmly prepared the magic.
“This time will be really different. It continues infinitely until the soul realizes its true nature, so if you endure it a few times, it will end. It will probably end before reading all the memories…… It’s individual differences, so I can’t cut it out.”
And he warned in a calm voice. It was a warning that might be the last voice the three of them would hear.
“So, bite your teeth and bear with it.”
Caicilia was standing in a mountain. It was in such a mountain with a moderate amount of grass, trees, and rocks.
“…… !!!!!!”
Before I could even figure out where I was, a savage grip grabbed my head. What she believes to be her thumb pricked her right eye.
A finger penetrated the lens at once, stirred the vitreous inside it, and plunged deep into the skull. Caicilia let out a silent scream.
The hand that was floundering in the air grabbed the arm holding the head. She tried to push her arm away somehow, but her grip wouldn’t budge.
This was not what Caicilia was doing. From the moment before her attack began until just before her death, during that time, she was just copying Delta’s struggles.
Of course, this was a meaningless action, as can be seen from what was stored as a memory of death. This time her right thigh was grabbed. Her knee joint reversed and she was crushed.
ㅡQuad Deuk!
Soon after, I felt a great pain and the feeling that the flesh on her side was being ripped off. Cai Killia looked down at her with her one remaining eye.
Her monster was eating her side.
Kai Kilia’s struggles, to be exact, her Delta’s struggles continued until her abdomen was almost completely eaten. Soon after, her upper body and lower body were separated, and her struggles ended together.
But her death was not over.
