138 – Unforgivable sin, just punishment
“Umm…”
“Are you awake, Harold?”
The moment I came to my senses, the person shimmering in front of me was Marika.
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
He was in a pitiful state with rashes all over his body, but he was smiling without knowing why, so I could see his own happiness.
“Marika… How long was I asleep?”
He strokes my hair affectionately and smiles.
“About 10 minutes? It wasn’t much, so don’t worry.”
A strangely calm attitude… It was an atmosphere that did not suit the current situation.
“Less than that…”
“I don’t know if he’s alive or dead… But it’s clear that Harold saved me.”
When I lifted my head slightly to check, it was the same scene I remembered from my last memory.
The golden armor was lying helpless, as if it was about to melt due to the heat that the creature could not handle.
“I never thought he would subdue the golden god. As expected, Harold is amazing…”
I wonder if the opponent was God… He was trying to withstand Electro, so he was probably someone who could do that.
That magic was a large-scale magic that could have subdued Mir, the strongest and last ancient dragon, and even defeated the ancient god Luthria…
“Yes… But thanks to you, I can’t use my arms -“
Huh…?
When I checked my arm, which was obviously burned like ash, I saw that my body was fine… It had a normal skin color as if it had never been that way, and my senses were intact.
“hehehe…”
As she was taken aback by the incomprehensible sight, Marika instead let out a loud laugh and covered her mouth with her fist.
“Miraka… Is it really you who treated me?”
Then he nodded cheerfully and affirmed my question.
“Yes, I happened to have a good potion… I’m glad I saw the effect right away.”
How on earth did I have to eat something so luxurious that I, who had fainted due to exhaustion of magical power, would regain consciousness and my arm would be completely healed so soon…
It was completely healed without leaving any marks.
“What on earth did you feed me? How did you feed me when I was unconscious in the first place?”
“Um… Secret?”
Then suddenly a bad omen appears on both cheeks and he refuses to answer with a mischievous expression.
First of all, let’s put the potion aside and use the normal method… Right?
When I see Marika’s suspicious smile, I feel anxious for no reason.
And now that I look at it… I am now being hit by Marika again on her knee pillow.
“…….”
But is it because I overexerted my body from the beginning?
I’m so tired that day after day I feel like I want to rest rather than wake up in a hurry like last time.
“Anyway, I don’t have time to stay like this… Right now, nowhere in this kingdom is safe… So I need to join those I can trust as much as possible.”
As I get up, I feel like every part of my body is creaking… But I overcome the fight with myself that I want to keep lying down and get up.
“Yes, that would be good. First of all, let’s help Elbert, who’s fallen over there, to a safe place and then let’s go out of the castle. My brothers and sisters will take care of this castle somehow.”
Marika points into the rubble of the broken building and announces that Elbert is there. Did Mr. Elbert deal with that god first?
“Okay.”
I followed her words and took a step back, but a thought came to my mind… On the other hand, I had not even started yet, but with the final ordeal already feeling like an obstacle, I became anxious about the process ahead.
◆◆◆
The situation has passed… In front of Abne’s temple…
“Tch…!”
Abne is bothered by blocking the anxious light coming towards her with all her might.
“Abne! If it weren’t for you, we would have taken all the benefits you enjoyed!”
Other gods spewing harsh words at themselves and rushing at them with all their might.
The relatively miserable existence that was hidden by her becomes rampaged by her unleashed power.
However, even if it seems a little difficult, she avoids or blocks attacks, as if she knew all of these things.
“Aren’t you going to relieve me of the emptiness caused by your incompetence?!”
What kind of guts do you have in a situation that already seems to be at a disadvantage? Instead, you provoke the enemy and make the situation even worse.
“This…!!”
Then, the frosty spear blade dug into Abne’s arms, not through magic, but the end of that day did not reach Abne.
“As expected, the numerical separation is a bit annoying…”
She takes a big step back and mutters, shaking off the bitterness she feels.
It was possible to deal with just one entity, but being alone was a fatal flaw.
Currently, Abne is facing two people… At first there were four people… But Erina was somehow holding on against the other two.
Ting –!
“It is a power that is unimaginable even to human capabilities!”
The refreshing sound of metal rubbing against iron causes sparks to bounce off, further heightening the serious situation.
“You dare endure two gods at the same time, you are a being too precious to endure and kill!”
The people Erina is dealing with are sisters who really resemble twins.
“…..”
They remained silent despite the words of beings born in the same category as each other, waiting for an unexpected opportunity.
“That’s why I’m proposing…”
“Aren’t you going to just come to our side like this?”
One of them removes her sword stance and the other nullifies the magic power she was holding in her hand, revealing that at least Erina has no intention of opposing her.
“We are twin sisters, gods of fate… I think it would be a waste to just throw away a talented person like you.”
The reason the four gods gathered together was to hunt the same divine beings… Rather, because they wanted to leave as many followers as possible and appease them to their side, they introduced themselves and offered an invitation, albeit late.
“I’m sorry, but the god you serve is hopeless. No matter how capable you are, you won’t be able to deal with four people.”
Now, while Abne is by her side, she is still doing her best to overcome her numerical inferiority… Erina’s side is strangely at peace, albeit for a very short time.
Erina received the transfer offer for a reasonable reason, but she shook her head without any hesitation.
“I refuse.”
A voice with clear true intentions…. The atmosphere once again turns into a brawl.
“Then there’s nothing we can do…”
“I need to collapse here!”
The gods of her relationship take her stance again, gather her magic power, and threaten her.
One of them had a sword, the other had magic… The sisters, who were good at cooperating and compatibility, even had the strength of a god, so Erina was going into an increasingly disadvantageous situation.
“By the light of the stars…!”
Meanwhile, Abne also begins to launch a counterattack of her own.
I finally tried to escape the situation of one-sided defense by throwing a spell containing the dreamy and vast light of the universe, but…
“With the power of moonlight.”
One of them cancels out that power with a similar but different power…
“Pierce through…!”
The other person also tried to stab her with a spear without missing the moment of opportunity.
“Beings who haven’t even fought in a long time are more savvy than I thought.”
However, Abne, who received nothing as the attack did not work, struck the spear with her bare hand, which was covered with something.
“Was it the Moon Queen and the God of Justice?”
Then, the identities of the enemies retrieved from the faint memories are confirmed.
“Isn’t it a little funny that you came here without finding your glory stolen from you?”
According to an anecdote, Abne was dreamy like a god called the Queen of the Moon, and there were times when she judged mortals by discussing great causes as if it were the work of a god of justice.
Isn’t it possible that the current situation occurred because Abne, who was more capable in such a similar way, took away their identity…
“….!!”
Shin, who thought he was justice, couldn’t stand the booing that he couldn’t bear and eventually kicked his way out of the ground.
At a time when the Moon Queen is not yet ready for her next attack…
“Wait a minute!”
The Moon Queen tries to stop the sudden leap towards the God of Justice, but…
It was already too late.
“As expected, this is why I feel comfortable with others who talk about justice.”
Abneh uttered a line that could sound a little evil depending on who he was talking to…
“Returning Light”
A solemn voice clearly resonates… It was a very short time, but for an instant, all sounds except Abne were blocked.
Quaaa!
Cosmic phenomena that penetrate the sky and extend into space…
“aaa!!”

In an instant, the world becomes dark and the light shines on the god of justice, who takes the brunt of her attack.
“Because they fall for cheap provocation and rush at it without considering the situation.”
The reason why we have continued to belittle our enemies even in unfavorable situations…
If you know the enemy’s characteristics well, there will be no opponent as easy as that.
Thump! Kugung-!
As soon as the light fades and the world becomes bright again, the God of Justice flies, bouncing on the ground like a giant rock tumbling down….
“Ah… Ah….”
Although he was still alive, further fighting seemed impossible.
“Huh… Is there only one person left?”
In a situation where the situation has turned in an instant, Abne lets out a slightly better breath and looks at her next opponent.
“Ugh…!”
At that moment, the atmosphere of the Moon Queen suddenly changed…
“I will make you regret this day.”
Abne, half confident of her victory, finally regains her easy smile.
However, unlike her, the temperature difference is so extreme that it seems as if it runs parallel to her…
Now Abne’s side is getting brighter, which is a good trend… But Erina is getting even worse than before.
“Huh…”
I’m trying to catch my breath and try to maintain the situation as my stamina is getting more and more exhausted…
“Give up now, enough is enough, right?”
One of her sisters, a sword-wielding being, tried to appease Erina once again…
“I refuse, Goddess Abne is taking her victory, so if you hold out, you will be at a disadvantage!”
He shows a firm will that no one can break, and holds the sword even stronger.
“It may be unfair, but we can just run away if we have to. They are just in a collaborative relationship.”
No matter how plausible the situation was, Erina’s heart did not waver.
So the method the two sisters chose was…
“And… I will target the one you love.”
“?!”
Instead, I chose to provoke her and provoke her.
“We are the gods of relationships… We can know who you have feelings for and where that man is right now.”
“And since we have also learned magic for escape, we can escape this situation whenever we want.”
She is the only man she loves… She doesn’t know where she is right now, but she thinks of his face, who must be active somewhere.
“I’ll find him before you find him.”
“And… What if I seduce that man~?”
With a mischievous expression… Erina says things that cannot be tolerated or ignored.
Without knowing what consequences it would bring to them…
“What?!”
She says harsh words that break her sense of reason, and she finally reacts violently.
“We who have passed through countless relationships know… The truly painful moment for humans is losing a very precious relationship…”
“Perhaps the feeling of loss is greater than death?”
Erina becomes more and more anxious about the gods of fate… Her sisters mistakenly believe that they have finally got a chance to appease at such a sight.
“But if you take our side now, I’ll tell you something I never said before.”
Something inside her broke, and without noticing her eyes darken… She thought she had taken advantage of her anger and had a good opportunity…
“So, why don’t you stop this fight?”
The incompetent gods who had to take responsibility for their wrong guess for a long time…
“Being on the same side as us –
She had to meet that worthy end.
“Huh…?”
I was cut off before I could finish speaking…
“ㅇ…..”
Kwasik!
The sound of thunder ringing in a very short period of time, less than a second ㅡ
Kugugugugugung!!!
Soon the earth cracks and a storm rages…
“Sister?!”
The god using magic, who was far behind the god holding the sword, was pinned to the floor.
“Ugh….”
And standing above it was Erina, giving off a very different atmosphere compared to before…
“You…You…! Where did you get that kind of power…!!”
“Huh?!”
Once again, before I could finish speaking, I let out a voice of embarrassment.
Same situation as before… At the end of the last words of Shin’s sister, who was now alone… Erina suddenly disappeared, and by the time she came to her senses, the incident had already occurred.
In fact, it leapt at a speed so fast that even God could not perceive it…
“Wait a minute… Back?!”
Then, using his near-transcendent speed once again, he approached the God of Destiny who was holding the sword.
“Ah -“
The air splits without even being able to utter the last words…
Chaaa!!
As Erina’s power splits the air, The remaining one’s form disappears.
“”Kwaaat?!!?!!
And the believers and buildings behind were a bonus…
With just one union, whether it was a god, a follower, or a structure… It was divided equally, leaving behind only a plain.
“Ugh…!”
The battle ended faster than Abne… Erina, moaning like an animal from the anger that had not yet subsided, immediately shouted loudly into the air.
“Are people who should know better than anyone else playing around with other people’s relationships?!!!!”
Erina’s shout reaches high into the sky as the problem has not yet been resolved…
“It is a sin to take what belongs to others!! Listen carefully!!!”
I wonder if the words were really conveyed as no trace was left behind…
The battle ended much more smoothly than expected…
“Calm down, Erina…!”
Someone stops Erina, who is still full of anger.
“Ugh!!”
“Wait a minute, it’s me!”
Let’s look back with an atmosphere still full of life, a being in a hurry to regain control…
“I just finished it too. I don’t think there will be any enemies now, so calm down.”
The situation ends in an instant as Abne comforts Erina.
“Ah… Goddess…”
“Uh… Yes, it’s me… I’m later than you, but I just finished.”
When she pointed behind her, there she saw the Moon Queen and the God of Justice, whom Abne had fought, lying side by side.
Once we resolved the situation where we were separated in numbers, this fight ended quickly.
“Abne, Erina? We’re here.”
What kind of coincidence is this? Morione and his party arrived only after everything was resolved.
“A huge slash was just passed through, enough to split part of the royal capital… Could it be you?”
Lucria cautiously asks Erina, who is still a bit upset, as she walks away.
“It was just a purge of beings with bad taste… Even if it were a god, it couldn’t be tolerated.”
Erina takes a deep breath and puts the sword into her scabbard.
It was a truly ironic feeling that even though she clearly didn’t have a drop of blood on her, there were no people who could have been erased by her today.
“It’s a bit unnatural to say this right away, but… We need to move right away. I checked briefly with my powers that can now be used outside… But it would be better to join Harold where he is right now.”
Morione speaks as if he knows Harold’s location right now.
“….!”
Those words reminded Erina of her bad memories and she flinched for a moment…
“Ugh….”
However, it is unrelated to her and is due to her own feelings, so she quickly ignores it.
“Really… Just imagining it makes me gag.”
She mutters to herself about her tastes, which are more unacceptable to her than anything else…
“Harold… Where is…?”
I miss him especially and I want to move to a new location as soon as possible.
