Chapter 167
Artificial Saint (6)
The time when Golden Sun had a decisive battle with Jack Daniel.
– Cheekyung.
In the hallway leading to the main building of the cathedral, Desiree poked her head over the curve and looked left and right.
The light blue moonlight coming in through the large windows between the white marble columns to the left and right illuminated the path ahead of Desiree.
“Whew, I’m glad… … . There is no one.”
Desiree, who had slipped out from behind a large pillar, hastened her steps.
Every time she moved her feet, the sound of the overlapping sabaton-iron battle boots-platforms slamming low in the hallway.
No one in the world would do that, but the battle on the way to the main building of the cathedral was only out of necessity.
Desiree shuddered as if someone had pricked her heart with a finger every time she threw a spear at someone.
-Geuggeuggeuk!!!!
“also!?”
Between walking on the road to the main building, an explosion accompanied by a leap hit her.
Stone shards the size of a thumb fell from the ceiling and occasionally hit the magic barrier she had spread.
“Taeyang-kun, please wait a little longer… … .”
Desiree herself knew Jack Daniel’s skills better than Geum Taeyang.
It certainly won’t be an easy fight.
No, maybe the Golden Sun might be defeated.
The pieces of stone falling from the ceiling are pieces of flesh that have fallen from his body, and the explosion that shakes the cathedral is his scream.
Power went into the hand that grabbed the spear.
Although they have requested assistance with the evacuation of citizens, there is no time.
He must save Elizabeth and return to the golden sun as soon as possible.
Bloodstains scrawled on the floor, red palms clearly imprinted on the wall as if he had touched his hand, and occasionally dented iron armor and bloody helmets.
The corridor leading to the main entrance of the cathedral was dizzy with the blood shed by the holy knights retreating.
Chasing after the urgency of those who lost the battle, Desiree arrived at the main building of the cathedral and was startled when she saw the knight sitting by the door.
On one side, a holy knight with the visor of his helmet pressed down deeply sits against the wall.
Desiree, who was walking away, looking around stealthily, startled and ran towards him, then stopped abruptly.
It was because there was a wide puddle of dark red blood in the seat where the Holy Knight was sitting.
The fishy smell of blood filled her nostrils.
I felt intuition that the Holy Knight’s body was already cooling down.
Elizabeth might also be cooling down inside right now.
Thinking of that made my molars clench on their own.
——Godfather, Godfather. my father. Maybe you were right.—
I closed my eyes and took my gaze away from him. Instead, he placed his hands on the massive wooden door and strained his hands.
‘Kikiiik.’ With the sound of hinges twisting, the thick, massive door that had been firmly closed slowly began to open.
─Saving everyone is a very difficult and difficult road.─
The path Desiree had taken now was the same as the path David and Elizabeth had taken ten years earlier to rescue her from the disappearance.
They, too, must have seen the same landscape that Desiree sees now.
A huge cross at the end can be glimpsed through the crack in the door.
Desiree pushed the door open with a little more force in her arms.
─It’s obviously hard on the body, colliding with countless people, and sometimes getting your hands dirty. There will surely come a moment when you have to do something against your convictions.—
The brown wooden door opened further to the left and right.
The statue of the crucified Jesus is now clearly visible.
It was as if a saint wearing a crown of thorns was looking down on her.
─Looking at it now, I don’t know how many blood is on my hands.─
Desiree did not avoid the adult’s eyes.
-Father, godfather. I am also a human being in the middle of the day, so I am afraid. I’m afraid people point fingers at my dirty hands, and I’m afraid to back away from my blood-splattered face. I’m afraid they won’t live up to their expectations, and I’m afraid they’ll be disappointed that I’m different from the saint they imagined.
At the unpleasant noise of the rusty hinges turning, the sacred knights waiting inside the main building turned their heads toward the slowly opening door.
─I am so afraid.─
‘Tung!’ With a loud noise, the door was thrown open.
Looking at the sacred knights drawing their swords towards her, Desiree gripped the spear with her right hand.
─However, I will not stop.─
“It’s a saint! A saintess has invaded-!”
“Don’t be rash! To the position of the former crew!”
“Never allow more intrusion than this!”
I can see [Paladin] pushing the knights.
He closed his lips tightly.
He raised his empty left hand and gently placed it on his chest.
A flash of blue began to leak through the fingers resting on his chest.
—Because I’m more afraid, because I’m more afraid of losing someone around me than being pointed at. There is nothing more miserable and devastating than the future me reminiscing about the present me and swearing and slandering it.
The blue light that had been shining brilliantly in Desiree’s hand began to turn red at some point.
What was held in her hand was the image of the [pain] of the person Desiree had saved.
Some of the wounds she has been carrying.
However, that part alone is enough to get through this place.
─All I had to lose was you.─
Wrapped in red magic power in her hand, she held onto the spear firmly with the light.
The red magic power that began to spread from her hand engulfed the entire spear, and soon began to burn at the tip of the spear.
The flames burning from the tip of the spear cast shadows on Desiree’s face.
“Godfather, I think I can understand now that you did not ask God for salvation.”
With a shaded face, she jumped among the knights.
The windows of the cathedral bathed in moonlight gave off a pale blue light.
From time to time red blood splattered inside the light blue glass window.
* * *
after a while
‘Tang, bang. Tang, Cheol Keng. Bang, bang.’
Chevalier, using the red-stained spearhead as a staff, walked to the foot of the cross and raised the spear held tightly in his hand.
-bang!!!
It hit the stone floor right below.
A dark cellar was nestled under the stone floor, which had been demolished at once.
Desiree stepped into the darkness without hesitation.
Desiree, who had been wandering underground for a long time with the twisted ironclad, came face to face with the cellar where she had been locked up a long time ago.
I don’t know who won the battle of the golden sun, but after entering the basement, the entire cathedral was shocked and finally calmed down.
“Elizabeth, we have arrived… … . Just wait a little bit.”
The moment she put her hand on the doorknob that looked like a thick metal pipe, she was about to go inside.
-Kwajik!!!
The basement door, which seemed like it would never open, was ripped open.
The hinge that couldn’t hold on eventually let go of the door.
“Ah-.”
-Quaang!!!
Desiree was shot through the wall while being crushed by the steel door.
What came into Desiree’s field of vision, behind the thick iron door, was Elizabeth, who was shooting a pillar of light made of magic toward the sky, emitting red flames from her whole body.
Looking at the large red scales all over her skin, Desiree lamented.
“—You’re late.”
Called.
She bit her lip.
* * *
What awakened my mind, which had been cut off, was the sound of a notification window popping up.
cold.
It’s so cold, it feels like my hands and feet are freezing.
My vision is blurry.
-The seed of Tam□ is □□□ Jun□Hab□□.
I raised my arm and tried to rub my eyelids to check the notification window that was not properly visible, but my eyes turned to the motionless arm.
I can see the scenery I made in the distance.
Part of the half-destroyed cathedral was unrecognizable except for the cornerstone, and it created a dreary atmosphere with a deeply dug pit.
The first thing I saw was the floor, which was twisted and splintered.
The body scattered on top of it was next.
It was only after checking his body once that he understood why he couldn’t raise his hand.
Oh, and I blew myself up with Jack.
Without hands, there was no way I could move them.
There was nothing below the elbow of the right arm. I stared blankly at the place where my right hand should be.
Perhaps due to the heat of the explosion, the ruptured area was completely charred.
Immediately after preparing to be caught in the aftermath, he squeezed all his strength and swung his sword at Jack.
I didn’t remember what happened, but I never imagined that when I woke up, an arm was missing… … .
I barely stood up with my left arm on the ground.
In spite of this simple act, he had to stagger for a long time due to dizziness, pain, and improper body balance.
After getting up, I used the Arondite, which was embedded in the ground nearby, as a walking stick.
It’s good that you lost your mind.
It doesn’t matter if your right arm is blown off.
Because they weren’t the first thing I had to deal with right now.
“jack… … , silver?”
He opened his mouth and muttered quietly. I felt my dry lips parting.
‘Tadak, tadak—tak!’
There was no sound, only the occasional sound of something burning on the fire.
“Have you done it… … ?”
He muttered in a weak voice, looked around, and sighed.
‘Tack, hit’
Yes, it’s a person with a name, but if you exert this much strength and don’t go to the yard flying up to your arms or die, is that a human being? it’s a monster
I lowered my right arm once and muttered.

I didn’t even have time to look at something right now, so I put my hand on the shiny blank space at the bottom.
-There are no products available for purchase.
Moment,
-Please check again that you do not have enough points.
I felt strange between the notification window and the shop of all things.
The lack of points could have been.
To restore a lost arm, you need something that appears in myths or tales, and the price can be murderous.
‘Tack, hit’
But why is there no change in points?
Obviously, what I just did was an act that would twist the story of the world unit.
The aftermath will not be light, so even if the remaining points are close, there must be a change in some way.
‘Tack, hit’
I hear only the sound of something burning.
The period became shorter and the sound gradually became clearer.
‘Tack, hit’
The sound of fire was coming towards me, constantly burning something.
– Chow!
At first, I didn’t even feel anything.
Soon your back gets hot.
For a while, I felt the warm liquid flowing down my back.
The reason I turned my head was because of the heat that followed.
Turning his head, Jack, with a hard expression, was waving his bloody sword in the air with a strong smell of alcohol emanating from his mouth.
Alcohol is an amplifying agent of emotions, and a bit of awkwardness passed across his face.
Ha, crazy boy.
Did you eventually grow up there? Just to block my blow?
‘Tadak, tadak.’
The uniform covering Jack’s upper body disappeared without a trace.
His sword and skin were burning in place of his uniform, but there was nothing else but a slight pain and guilt-like embarrassment on his face.
The fire was coming toward me, burning Jack’s body.
It was amazing.
The whole body lost its strength in an instant.
The body leans forward.
“Admit it, Golden Sun. You guys tried hard enough.”
I couldn’t control my body and fell to the ground.
The dust on the floor was blown away by the wind created by my body collapsing.
In the end I was defeated.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Jack pointed his sword at the nape of my neck.
“So, rest in peace now.”
He drew the sword to his chest, and to me it looked like a guillotine.
In France, beheaded by guillotine… … .
It’s the worst ending ever.
I couldn’t stay any longer.
So I closed my eyes.
“… … Your efforts were well worth it.”
The executioner’s guillotine landed on my neck.
