Chapter 172
Artificial Saint (11)
-widely.
With light footsteps, 『The Saint Who Slayed the Seven Deadly Sins』 descended onto the battlefield.
* * *
The land in my field of vision grows bigger and bigger.
I, who was swimming in the air, ‘Tak.’ I stepped onto the battlefield with light footsteps.
I felt the proper weight through the sole of the shoe.
I savored the weight and raised my head.
unpleasantness.
Other than that, I couldn’t pick a word to replace.
What was originally a cathedral has been reduced to a wall.
Crushed and crushed stone shards were rolling all over the place to the point where it was meaningless to count them, and perhaps because they were grayish white, it felt absolutely desolate.
I saw the hardened knights.

Just as no human face is the same, the facial expressions were different, but there was one thing in common.
A full frown, legs stretched out in the direction the body was running, and even the head looking back – where the dragon’s breath collided with Jack’s sword.
urgency.
The obsession to get out of here quickly.
It appeared on the faces of the knights, expressing the emotions they contained.
When I put my right foot forward, I kicked a stone grain that could be called pebbles, and I inadvertently bent over and lifted it up.
A world where even light has stopped.
As long as I am stepping within the territory of the Cross Bridge, the world within a radius of 5 km operates according to my will and will.
There were no exceptions to this, and accordingly.
─Now the clock at Avignon Cathedral is running behind the clock at the Greenwich Observatory in real time.─
I have no idea how this is possible.
As far as I know, Taeyang Geum must have been nothing more than a talented swordsman.
“… … Really, that’s too much.”
When I remembered the end of the Golden Sun, I felt pain in my chest, in the area near the pit of my stomach, closer to my heart to be precise.
The spear that pierced his heart and the blood on his hands.
It all seemed like a dream.
no.
I wish it was a dream.
However, this is just a wish, and even if I turn the clock hands back with this power given to me, the result will be the same.
He has already sacrificed himself.
Like the godfather-David-, he left everything to me and disappeared.
– Perseok!
He clenched his fists tightly.
The stones he had lifted with his hands crumbled and turned into pure white sand that flew between his fingers.
The end of this story will not be the same as the end of The Godfather.
10 years ago I was just an incompetent child, but not now.
shifted the view.

Jack’s sword followed the beam of light cutting through it.
Climbing up the pillar of light split by Jack’s sword, you can see the firmament, the dark night sky.
The starting point was shining like a star in the night sky.
So much so that I want to pick it up and put it in my hands.
Gently, he raised his hand.
From earth to horizon, from horizon to sky.
My hand slowly approached the starting point shining like a star.
My heart is clearly pounding, but my body is uplifted to a level I’ve never felt before.
It felt like anything was possible within a radius of 5km around my body.
This is a disharmony between body and mind. I felt that way.
The Golden Sun’s sacrifice gave me, Desiree Chevalier, unbelievable abilities.
『If I had to put that power into writing, I could stop time with just one word, and even drop a flying dragon with a single gesture.』
I stared at the pillar of light extending from Elizabeth.
All of this must be his will that gave me strength.
“… … Get rid of that cheeky breath first.”
I waved my hands like a dragon’s breath, and the pillar of light evaporated without a trace.
It disappeared without leaving a trace.
As the pillar of light disappeared, Jack’s sword now seemed to cut through the air.
His index finger pointed at Elizabeth, who had become a star.
“… … That’s too high. I’d like to come a little closer.”
Dip your fingers inward.
It was a light act, a motion without any difficulties, but the aftermath was not light at all.
At one gesture-
His fingertips touched the hardened neck of Elizabeth.
With a ‘clear’, Elizabeth’s face appeared in front of me.
—The space collapses.
Ignored all the laws of physics.
The distance between her and me, which should have been several kilometers, has been reduced to a distance that can be reached with an outstretched arm.
Elizabeth’s mouth was wide open.
both eyes are goofy The red pupils, which were torn horizontally, stood out.
Compared to her sharp, soaring eyes, I almost burst out laughing at the difference, but I couldn’t help but laugh when I witnessed her change.
“Elizabeth, how did you get here… … .”
He reached out and gently stroked her cheek.
In the middle of her cheeks, there were scales whose hardness could be seen even through the gauntlet.
He sighed at the sight of her degenerated into a mere beast and began to raise the Golden Sun Sword.
The dragon killing sword, Arondite.

Just by holding it in my hand, I was able to know its tendencies and characteristics.
I don’t know why this artifact was in the hands of the golden sun.
However, what needs to be done right now is clearly this one first. I passed it on because the reason was not immediately important.
look at the root
Dragon Killing Sword.
A sword that kills dragons.
With the medium, the rest of the work will be easy.
Separated the dragon killing and the sword. All I need now is the word in front.
Temporarily kills the performance as a sword.
All that remains is the killing of the dragon. A sword that cannot harm people.
-Hook.
It stabbed Elizabeth in the heart.
To be precise, he pierced the dragon’s heart.
I glimpsed the sword that had pierced her and protruded from behind her back.
It doesn’t even bleed.
—With this, the dragon blood in Elizabeth’s body died.—
A bitter laugh came out.
At the same time as the corner of my mouth rippled, time began to flow again.
Elizabeth in the air fell to the ground with a thud, and the surroundings became noisy again as the knights scattered in all directions screaming and shouting.
I killed the dragon blood, so in a little while Elizabeth will rise again.
With that thought in mind, she is about to leave to take care of the rest of her business.
“… … What have you done?”
A strong British accent came from behind.
I turned to see Jack staring blankly at my face.
Oh, he was still there.
“As you see, I have killed the dragon.”
I answered his question. There were noises echoing everywhere, but Jack didn’t even notice them.
Instead, he carefully looked me up and down.
It wasn’t about coveting an outward appearance. It was to see through my roots.
Against him, I also glared at him.
The winner of the meaningless snowball fight was me. Eventually, Jack spoke first.
“… … Congratulations. You have obtained power that is infinitely close to god.”
I felt that his words were correct.
What I now have in my hand is a power imitating a god, even if it has restrictions attached, or can be called a god.
I nodded at his words.
“What you are looking for is no longer here. battle… … , Could you please stop the battle?”
“… … .”
“The obvious gap, the fixed ending, the drops of blood soaking the earth and the fading life only increase. Fighting more than this is pointless.”

Jack’s eyebrows narrowed.
After thinking about something for a while, he must have come to a conclusion, and with a ‘click’ sound, he struck a sword.
“Saint, no, should I call you by a different name now? In any case, you are right. That is why I will give up this further battle.”
Raising both hands, he spoke calmly.
“I will surrender. Will you permit us to retreat?”
I nodded my head in response to the surrender obtained so easily.
“I’ll allow it, because he would have too.”
“… … I thank you for your mercy.”

Jack looked around the chaos, then turned to the half-bewitched paladin.
After taking a few steps, he paused and turned his head to me.
“What happened to the boy you were with? I must have suppressed it, but I couldn’t see it at all.”
“… … I’m sleeping for a while. I can’t tell you more than this, so I hope you disappear quickly.”
“i get it. I will not forget the debt I owe you.”
My answer to Jack’s question was bound to become rigid.
In any case, it was he who contributed to the death of Golden Sun.
I didn’t want to talk to him any more.
“It would have been better if it was in my hands, but it wouldn’t matter since the power of mankind has grown in the end.”
He left only those words and walked towards the darkness.
It was a bonus that he snatched the scruff of Paladin’s neck, who was on his butt on the floor in a state of fascination on the way.
Leaving Jack slapping him and telling Paladin to come to his senses, he lifted Elizabeth, who had collapsed on the floor, passed out, on his shoulders.
– I folded the space again.
The scene in front of my eyes changed.
The unsightly site, where pits were dug here and there and stones were flying, disappeared without a trace.
Instead, I stood in front of the one I wished for.
Golden Sun, lying leaning against a half-collapsed wall, had a comfortable expression that would have been believed by a sleeping person had it not been for the spear stick stuck in his chest.
After putting Elizabeth on the floor for a moment, she went over to him.
“Taeyang-kun… … . I’m done. Did I do well?”
“… … .”
I asked even though I knew there would be no answer. However, since I couldn’t hear the answer, one side of my heart felt empty.
The head is bowed in a bow.
“Elizabeth will return to her original form now that the dragon blood has been removed. Everything has found its place.”
“… … .”
“Thanks to you.”
He bit his lower lip hard.
“With this power, I can save anyone. No matter what crisis comes in the future, I will be able to overcome it.”
I could feel the fishy smell of iron in my mouth.
The skin was too fragile to contain my emotions, and the by-products alone were torn.
I bent my knees towards him.
The frizzy blonde hair came closer.
“but… … . If I can’t even save the person in front of me right now, how can I save everyone? I will never tolerate it. There is no such thing as salvation in a monumental tower built with the blood of others.”
If you use the power obtained through the sacrifice of the golden sun, you will be able to save anyone in any crisis.
However, there is a person who sacrificed to create this power right in front of me. He is lying on the rugged and cold ground.
Can you say that you can comfortably save someone else with that power?
Can I use this power comfortably?
I thought at first.
Wouldn’t it be possible to bring him back to life with this power?
However, the way I see the world suddenly changed.
If there was a higher dimension than the earth and I was that existence, wouldn’t I see it the way I do now?

Just savoring the events and emotions that are happening here as entertainment.
In the world, it was the same as the rise of ‘class’.
—For a moment, I became God’s messenger and agent.—
The providence of how the world works came into view, and what I could and could not do became clear.
And the result of peeking into the providence of the world to revive the golden sun.
it was impossible
This power is based on the crucifixion.
In the event of an act against the taboos, reverses, and order of the world.
─It is certain that he will lose all power, be demoted, and fall to heaven.─
I clenched my fists. The strength went into the tightly clenched hands.
Even so, I have already decided.
In the first place, I never wanted a power like a god, infinitely close to a god.
This power is only a means.
“It is not my goal… … .”
That’s why I brought my face to the golden sun’s forehead.
If you’re a true saint… … .
If you truly want to help others… … .
I quietly closed my eyes.
I kissed him briefly on the forehead.
… … You can’t accept an ending like this, can you?
It will definitely be inconvenient.
The moment when you feel sorry for the power to put it down now will definitely come someday.
but.
These are the wings he gave me in the first place. It was the position he was given.
To revive him, the pain of falling from the sky—
──I will gladly accept it.
There was a light on his forehead where my lips touched.
『Now, at this moment, the holy woman is dead.』
In return, I was able to bring one person back to life.
A person who is willing to lay down his life for others.
