165 – The Lost Lamb (13)
The sun went down and night came.
To the extent that I was instantly caught up in such an illusion, the war clouds that hung over the area contained an absurd ominous feeling.
”This is… alternatively…”
The man approaching me suddenly stopped walking.
Where is that?
She was breaking out in a cold sweat, trembling all over, and even backing away unsightly like a frightened beast.
Well, that feeling was understandable enough.
If I had been in his shoes, I would have reacted no differently.
no. Rather, it might have been a much uglier appearance than that.
black mud. A lump of wet tar. Muddy Swamp.
It was because something unusual, which I had no ability to explain except with such an ambiguous expression, burst out from the saintess’ small body and greedily devours the surrounding area under the sun’s bounty.
In this gloomy space, where no matter how you look around, there is only eerie darkness, and even the existence that scatters German light was quite far from the title of hope.
Red Moon. No, red eyes.
Like the compound eyes of a spider in a glass box, the creepy eyes that were plastered everywhere were watching the prey that their subject had their eyes on in perfect order.
”This is a temporary retreat! Those whose hands are empty, take care of the wounded right now!”
The man’s behavior was very cool and intelligent, even though it was an unprecedented situation in which a normal person would have gone mad instantly.
It seems easy to see, but not everyone can do it, to quickly determine the capabilities of the beings they are facing and then instantly determine that they have no other option than flight.
I had no choice but to admit that he was a pretty good commander when I looked at it from an objective point of view, taking out the circumstances.
But unfortunately, what that man was facing right now was not something that could be done with such superficial wisdom and common sense in this world.
”Hey! Can’t hear me! Get out of here right now…”
The man groaned annoyedly at his subordinates, who were busy standing in place despite his orders, but the words were not fully resolved.
The reason was no different.
because you were laughing
me and the saintess It was because everyone in this room, except for that man, was looking up at the sky and smiling graciously.
Among them, there were those with large holes in their bodies, and some werewolves with arms missing.
All of them were shedding tears much thicker than blood, as if they had been saved by a god, and they were admiring this dark world.
”Huh, huh!”
The man, who seemed completely overwhelmed by the foreign sight that aroused the fundamental fear of humans, turned around belatedly, perhaps to escape alone.
However, it didn’t take long for the man to realize that it was Marie after all of that was a pointless resistance.
”Creepy!”

Kwajik!
Blood pooled on the black earth along with moaning as the air receded.
Eyes were naturally wide open at the slaughter that took place without any precursory symptoms, and the self-consciousness that wandered without a place to go was all attributed to the life on the verge of fading.
”That, that’s…!”
A breath of astonishment escaped from the corners of my trembling lips.
A vast darkness that swallowed up both the sky and the earth.
Countless hands protruding from all directions wrapped around the man’s body in layers and suppressed it, stabbing a knife into his stomach.
But it wasn’t that part that really shocked me.
Unidentified beings who oppress every corner of the man’s body and try to cut off his breath.
It was because their appearance, like a marionette with rusty joints clad in black armor, was so familiar to me.
”The former warriors…”
The reality that I couldn’t easily accept even after spitting it out with my mouth cooled my thoughts.
The holy devotion of former warriors who willingly gave a part of their souls to the saintess for the sake of future heroes after subjugating the demon lord and establishing peace in this world.
A miracle of the highest rank by a saintess who brings out that concentrated power at least once.
Hero’s Call.
Because of the god’s holy power, which became absurdly powerful with each successive generation, none of the recent saints could use it, so a part of the myth that was dismissed as a lost miracle in the current era was being reproduced right in front of my nose.
”Kill it.”
After that stern word of the saintess, the movement of the black armor began to harbor a savage intent to kill.
”Come on, sleep! town! Turn it off!”
He was a man who tried to recite a song that was unknown whether it was negotiations or begging for his life, but such an attempt was ruthlessly blocked by the ruthlessness of the black armor that blocked even his breathing holes.
I inadvertently closed my eyes at the terrible tragedy that unfolded after that.
A terrifying melody in which the human body, with its balanced combination of bones and muscles, is pierced and displaced by something hard, twisted and squeezed at an impossible angle.
The man’s muffled screams, intermittently heard in between such voices, brought a disgusting feeling of nausea.
What was even more terrifying was that there was no end to the noise.
”live. and kill again Keep killing.”
The saintess’ low voice that came out of her arms made me realize the bizarre circumstances.
It must have been.
The saintess was constantly repeating the act of saving, killing, and reviving that man.
I had expected to a certain extent that the man who touched the saintess’ misfortune would not die gracefully, but I never thought that he would end up suffering such terrible pain without any promise.
If there is a hell, wouldn’t it be right here?
The melody of the massacre, which did not stop even for a moment even if I closed my eyes and ears, gave me such an illusion.
No. It shouldn’t be like this.
This shouldn’t happen.
I can’t let the saintess do such a thing anymore.
It was around the time that such a silent clamor echoed one after another in my thoughts, which were suppressed by primal fear.
Saaa.
A faint sense of incongruity radiated from the trembling arms like the trembling of an aspen tree.
When I slowly opened my tightly closed eyes and looked at them with difficulty, I saw that the divine protection, which had been exhausted from chasing with the mercenaries, was quickly filling up thanks to the saintess’ bloody spirit.
At that moment, a plausible plan to correct this miserable situation passed through my mind like an arrow.
The origin of the saintess’s actions.
divine power.
If I could just exhaust all of them, wouldn’t it be possible to put an end to this infernal hell?
There was no time to speculate on the possibilities.
Even at this moment when I was hesitating, the saintess was going the wrong way.
”Whoa…”
I took a deep breath with my eyes closed, and evened out my scattered thoughts.
And that which has been left to the realm of the unconscious so far.
In order to independently bring out the sense of sucking divine power from another person’s body, I refined my consciousness again and again, like sharpening a pencil with a cutter knife.
halfway point. A stupid optical illusion.
Whatever it was, it was good, so I had to hold onto it and hang on to it.
Because that was all I could do for her now.
”Welna…”
I put my arms around the saintess’ body with all my might, and I cried out her name earnestly as if crying and pleading.
However, despite such an attempt, the poisonous eyes of the saintess were firmly fixed on the scene of slaughter right in front of her, and she did not even flinch.
The saintess can’t hear me calling her name.
This was the first time in my life.
I was afraid.
I feel like it’s already too late
It seemed that she, who had been deeply immersed in the wrong path, would never be able to return to this place again.
what the hell maybe
maybe good
how can i stop her
A heavy feeling of helplessness and deep despair mixed together was slowly weighing down my thoughts from above.
“I’m curious?”
Strange yet familiar words that suddenly spread across my retinas.
From that moment on, the rich holy power flowed into my body.
Great! Blasphemy!
Immediately after that, with a strong rupture, the light of the sun came once again to the space where light had been lacking.
”Oh, brother…?”
The saintess hurriedly turned her head and looked at me.
The gracious hair that followed the movement of her head tickled the bridge of my nose for a moment, and the bright blue color that was dyeing the ends of her hair reached the place where her earlobe was located thanks to an unknown force.
It’s a bloody spurt. The sound of bones and flesh being mashed. screams of pain.
everything was clean.
The dazzling rays of light caressing my eyelids and the chirping of birds that sounded like a calm lullaby reminded me that this was a clear reality.
Did you do it?
It was the very moment when I was enjoying a feeling of relief or achievement, and proudly tried to wipe a single drop of sweat from my forehead.
”Yes·····?”
I inadvertently let out a muffled voice at the sudden sense of incongruity.
Why are your clothes so obtrusive?
No, more than that, my hands were originally this small and soft.
Why is your voice like this again?
If so, it’s like…
”Your brother has grown small—!”
The saintess’ voice filled with astonishment burst out of nowhere.
However, that desperate high-pitched scream was not as good as my scream that burst out late.
