126. A boat that runs on water with fire
126.
“Kyaaaaak-!”
It was a very sharp scream of a saint, but now, except for Death Knight, no one could hear her scream. Her screams were all drowned out by the sound of shells exploding in spray.
-Too kwaaaaang – !
The seawater groaned and poured out the flesh violently. Scattering sea water poured over the Death Knight. The saintess’ consolation did not pour out. Because her zerf ed was completely wrapped around her. However, the sound of flesh from the sea crashing onto the deck came to the saintess very vividly.
It was as she heard the terrible sound and gently opened her tightly closed eyes.
-Too kwaaaaang – !
Once again there was the sound of a large shell hitting the sea. She had to close her eyes again and let out a shrill scream. Perhaps it was a direct hit from quite close, the seawater roared loudly. The enormous shaking was transmitted to her saintess by boat.
“Huh…… ! Black…… !”
A scream like crying leaked out between the saintess’s tightly pursed crimson lips. The sight seen between the Death Knight’s large body was literally chaos itself.
In the roaring sea, unbalanced luggage was rolling around randomly. The box in which seafood such as fish was kept was smashed. A few mackerel, which had lost their original uprightness, vomited out their entrails through the broken parts, with their bodies bent completely.
A sharp fishy smell passed the tip of the saintess’ nose between the dripping organs. In an instant, her nausea rose. Her sour saliva of her own filled her mouth. At first glance, the eyes of the mackerel had no life.
It was just empty, empty, empty.
Isn’t it possible for him to become like that too? In the end, I was caught by the general church, and I couldn’t think of anything, and I couldn’t move. Couldn’t it just be that empty feeling in my eyes?
In an instant, all vision flickered. I felt sick to my stomach. Not by the shaking sea, but by myself being shaken.
…… Afraid. I have crossed the line of fire many times, but when I stand in the line of fire again, fear precedes me. I’m afraid I won’t be able to cross this line this time. I’m afraid I won’t be able to cross it and be swallowed up.
Her own life is just…… Because there is only one. Never…… ‘Cause she can’t come back
Her trembling body, Zer Pied gave strength to her grasping hand.
“Esilia!”
The saintess stopped her flinching body for the moment. She could barely keep her head up. While all vision was shaking, she could see. The sharp, sharp eyes of a Death Knight. Her eyes were so sharp, so sharp, that her blood-red eyes seemed to see right through her.
The saintess of innocence stared blankly at the bloody eyes she was looking at herself.
“I am holding on.”
Strength is added to the hand that holds you. A firm, strong hand. It’s the Death Knight’s hand.
“So, don’t be afraid.”
A low, low, and clear voice. It is the voice of the Death Knight. Sensing that, the saintess of innocence nodded her head. There was no trepidation in her movements this time. It was a small but clear action.
Jer Pied nodded to her face and called Er Ben Ong.
“Erben Ong! Are you okay?!”
Then, a voice like a moan came from the bottom of the ship.
“Ugh…… , What do you see me as… ?! I can’t nod like this, so don’t worry…… !”
Contrary to her words, at the sound of a voice that didn’t seem all right, the Death Knight hugged her saint and moved her body to approach her hinged door.
It was then.
-Quaaaaang – !
The sound of shells roaring beside their boat, right at close range, was heard. In an instant, the rolling waves swept over the boat. In order not to roll over from the rocking ship, the Death Knight grabbed her saintess with one hand and crouched down to balance her body.
As if the saintess was surprised, she felt that she was holding on to the Death Knight. Even her slightly trembling gestures. Death Knight also put a little more of her strength into the hand that held her, and it was when she slightly opened her lips to sing her Erben Ong.
“I’m fine… …. I’m fine…. Don’t worry…….”
I didn’t even call, but I heard Erben’s mumbling voice. It was a different direction from what I had heard before. It seemed as if the ship was rocking and shifting its position. She didn’t know whether she should be amazed that the Death Knight had been shaken so violently that she still had the strength to answer, or whether she should be worried that her voice had turned lethargic.
But soon his troubles were for nothing.
Zer Pied, who tried to move his body again and approach Erben Ong, stopped him. I couldn’t hear the gunfire that had been ringing ever since. Not only that, but the movement of the ship, which had been violently rocked, was also quiet.
With a strange feeling, he turned his head to the other side, where the holy knights of innocence sailed.
“Damn it… ….”
At the death knight’s low-pitched curse, Esilia opened her slightly closed eyes and looked at the same place he was looking at. The saintess could not stop her blue and red eyes from opening wide.
“…… There is no movement to surrender. Captain.”
A female paladin watching the ship lowered her telescope and spoke to Aevent. The paladin leader, who was crossing his arms, nodded her head.
“What should I do? The saintess may end up in danger if she fires more…….”
“I know. From here on, we will approach it directly.”
“Then… ….”
“Tell the small ships to unload. All but half of the people driving the boat are taken away. Eight in all. They approach from different directions and encircle them.”
“Okay. “Shadows”…… ?”
From noble mtl dot com
“I will take you. However, only those three of the higher ranks are taken. After all, there are not enough ships.”
Ah, the female paladin who nodded her head at the event’s command and immediately delivered his words. Immediately after hearing his command, the Paladins began to move in perfect order.
Watching the sight of small ships descending on a rope from the sailboat of the Holy Knights of Purity, Death Knight grinded his teeth softly. What they were aiming for was obvious to anyone. As soon as the small ships touched the surface of the sea, they started approaching the ship the Death Knight and the saint were riding at high speed.
‘Do I have to move this boat myself?’
Death Knight shook her head. Then he might be able to get out of this crisis right now, but considering his later activities, it was foolish.
The Holy Knights, who saw that only one person was ostracizing them, might rather endure the checks of other orders and announce the disappearance of the saintess. The saintess has now been kidnapped by someone. And that someone had the ability to stand alone against the Knights.
If it is announced extensively in this way, no matter how much other denominations try to contain it, they will not be able to openly put pressure on the denomination of innocence. No matter how much responsibility is placed on the Church of Purity for the saintess’ disappearance, if it is known that it is caused by an external factor, neglecting the safety of her saintess and prioritizing her control is like losing her justification.
And it will not be possible to prevent the transmission of the characteristics of a saint to all continents. The scope of their activities is also very limited.
‘As expected, I have to block it here.’
Death Knight muttered in a low voice.
“…… Erben Ong.”
“Keuuugh…… ! Oh, it’s okay! Never mind!”
“They are approaching.”
“What?! Fuck this…… ! Hey Sir Hooch! Hold on, it really only takes a moment, so hold on a little!!”
“I don’t know what you are trying to do…… If you’re going to do it, do it as soon as possible. They are all up already!”
The sound of the splattering and wet armor overlapped with the characteristic metallic sound, creating strange sounds. When I heard the sound of two conflicting notes mixed together, I felt comfortable.
Unless it’s a situation where dozens of knights board their ships at once. Their armor, glistening in the evening glow, seemed to bleed.
“It’s been a while, Saint Esilia. How have you been? And…… An unknown helper, you too.”
And more than that, I heard the low voice of Aevent that shimmered like a sword.
