A moment that should be said to be a scene from a myth.
After the moment when the giant who had lived since the foundation of the world was overcome by a human blow in the middle of the day passed, the subsequent events began to unfold so simply that it was ridiculous.
Terdan, who was destroyed by Bargo’s departure, fell asleep again on the spot.
The pursuers could not escape from Bargo’s attack and either perished or survived, scattered and fled.
Bargo saw the scene.
– Ew, ttt. Young people these days have no ambition.
After saying things like that, he went back to Seongguk.
It was just two days ago that Vera followed suit and returned to the Holy Land.
The infirmary of the high priest.
Vera sat down by the bed, brushing aside all the thoughts he had been holding on to, and looked at Renee.
Sleeping with a relaxed face.
It was the sight that Vera had been watching for the second day after returning to the Holy Land.
‘… Fortunately, there was no recoil.’
He had to pull himself out of the divinity for a while, but showed no other permanent damage.
Sleeping like this is also a phenomenon that continues due to the exhaustion of divinity and the fatigue from the last journey gnawed at the body.
Renee should be able to wake up soon.
As he continued his thoughts, Vera frowned as he felt a sudden force in his fists.
‘It’s because I don’t have enough.’
At that moment, she used her powers because she couldn’t protect Renee more clearly.
Because she looked precarious, she was still lying here.
I couldn’t move freely because I was holding Renee, and I had to match Norn’s pace.
‘… It’s an excuse.’
It was an excuse to cover his own shortcomings.
He had to be strong enough to ignore all those secondary issues.
If you were to protect the saint, you should have had that kind of force.
As Vera continued to think, the blow that Bargo had seen two days before came to mind.
A divinity close to wonder that the air from all directions is crushed the moment you unravel the divinity. A red mace made from him. The overwhelming ominousness that made me think of death just by looking at it.
I realized it the moment I saw it.
‘Can’t win.’
Even if he fights a hundred times, he cannot defeat Bargo.
A sense of defeat that Vera had never felt in his life.
Vera had never looked at anyone in his life and thought, ‘You can’t win.’
In addition, when I think of him, I have doubts that come to mind.
‘The death of such a human… .’

Old age. That was only six years later.
As he recalled the history of his last life, Vera continued his thoughts with a ‘buzz’ and snort.
‘It’s ridiculous.’
It didn’t sound like a word. No matter how impermanent time may have been, there was no way for a human with the divine power to stamp out the space and die in just six years.
Vera was convinced.
‘Information publicly known has been manipulated.’
I don’t know why. Why did Bargo die, and why did he announce it as an old age? There were not enough clues to know him, so it was natural.
However, Vera knew what would happen if Bargo died.
Vera’s gaze turned to Renee again.
‘… War.’
The Continental War that broke out at the same time as Bargo’s death.
A war breaks out over the entire continent to take possession of the saint.
The continent after the disappearance of the absolute who supported the saint is starting a long and long war to take possession of the divine object René that has appeared in the real world.
Vera continued to think and looked into Renee’s complexion with deep sunken eyes.
Hair falling neatly, or eyes closed tightly. It looks like she is sleeping peacefully while breathing a little.
Vera continued his thoughts, moving his gaze to Renee’s hand.
It was a war that was waged over this little girl’s little hand, and it was a war that only temporarily concluded a ceasefire after the demon king called out.
In addition, Vera knew what Rene would choose to prevent the war.
fake funeral.
Renee surrenders his powers, erases his existence, and hides in the gates.
Giving up on yourself to prevent that war.
Vera continued to think and put his hand over Renee’s, which filled his field of vision.
Following.
Kok-.
Strength entered his hand, entwining Vera’s crude hand with a small, callusless hand.
A resolve entered Vera’s mind again.
‘… It must be stopped.’
The war, the wounds she received from that war. Finally she gave up on her own life.
all had to be kept.
Warmth flowed from his little hand.
Vera continued his thoughts, feeling the warmth seeping into him.
What you have to do to keep this warmth. How to protect Renee.
The answer came out without any hesitation.
‘force.’
It was necessary. We need the force to make sure no one dares to even think of aiming at the saint.
In addition, Vera knew who it was to have such power.
‘Vargo St. Lore.’
A long breath escaped Vera’s mouth as he remembered him. His eyes sank deeply.
Holding on to his life was the surest way, but it would be foolish to bet on that uncertain possibility unless you know how his death will be played out.
Even if it was saved. Bargo’s time is different from René’s and his own time. He will also have to die someday, and that will be faster than René and his own death.
Vera continued his thoughts, shifting his gaze and continuing his judgment by looking at the hand that had been entangled until then.
‘… I.’
It had to be strong enough to apply.
In an instant, Vera felt a strife rising from the thought of surpassing someone he had never thought of in his life.
To be honest, I wasn’t confident enough this time.
It was right to say that it was impossible to say with certainty because the majesty Bargo showed was overwhelming.
however, nevertheless.
‘… Should be.’
You should do it, not do it.
It was enough to have that mindset to keep in mind.

Renee remembered her worries.
‘Should I say it happened?’
I was already awake more than ten minutes ago. As soon as he woke up, Renee, who had kept his mouth shut at the rough hand feeling he felt as soon as he woke up, felt that he was in trouble with the thoughts that came to him.
There was no question as to whose hand the entangled hands belonged. It was because I knew it just by feeling it.
It was Vera’s hand.
It was the rough and rough hand that he had been holding for the past few days.
Renee felt the sensation from Vera’s hand and continued to think about it, and then came up with the idea of figuring out the situation first.
There was a way to tell Vera that he had come to his senses and listen to him, but Renee was more accustomed to grasping the situation on his own, so he couldn’t make up his mind.
‘What is the situation?’
What is it about Vera holding his hand like this?
Rene, who was thinking about it, first looked at her own body condition.
‘I’m fine… .’
it wasn’t ok Much better than before departure, he was in the most energetic state in recent years.
‘Where you lie… .’
The next thing that comes to mind is the place where you are lying.
The feeling of soft cloth wraps around the whole body. Vera’s breathing was steady, and no other noises could be heard, as if he had come to a safe place while he was asleep.
perhaps the kingdom. Among them, it would be a place such as a bedroom or an infirmary.
Next, why are you here?
Renee pondered the question again and continued his thoughts.
Just before he fell, he had used his powers. What he wished for was that he, Vera, and Norn could all escape safely.
Renee, who had come up with it so far, was trying to put together the current situation and the contents of the wish he had made at that time.
‘ah… .’
I remembered the thought that the power that had appeared before I collapsed may have been working properly, allowing me to run away.
No, that would be correct.
It was certain that he felt something strange happening right before he collapsed.
Rene, who had even remembered that far, realized the whole situation properly.
‘You saved me.’
You saved Vera and Norn with your own hands.
bean. bean. My heart was pounding and I felt satisfaction in my head.
It was the satisfaction that came from the fact that I had saved someone with these hands.
It was the satisfaction that came from not being helpless.
Rene’s fists were clenched at the sudden impression.
Awkward-.
A movement that I did not know.
Vera’s hand, which had been entangled with him, trembled.
“… Lady?”
Such a sound echoed through the room.
Startle. Renee, shaken by the voice he heard, felt a feeling of embarrassment filling up inside, and began to raise his eyelids with clumsy movements.
“Uh, uh… .”
It was an awkward movement that was hard enough to tell that it was acting unless the viewer was an idiot.
“Are you awake? How are you?”
Fortunately, Vera, who had been clouded by his worries about René, did not notice him.
Renee let out a small sigh of relief inwardly at the response. It was a relief that emerged from the thought that it seemed that he had not been caught already awake.
Think about it, how shameful it would be to find out that you were awake and lying still and holding hands without showing him off.
Renee didn’t want to say anything like such a shameful experience, so he opened his mouth, spitting a small apology in Vera’s worried tone.
“here is… .”
“It’s a sanctuary. Fortunately, His Holiness was at the border, so we were able to get here safely. Are you in better shape than that?”
“Joe, I’m a little sore.”
The words stuttered. It was because Vera’s words were too much of a concern.
The shame that rises again. As Renee’s eyes closed at him, Vera, who saw him, spoke in a more worried tone than before.
“Are you not feeling well? Please wait. I’ll call the priest soon… .”
“no! it’s okay! it’s okay!”
Take out-. A loud groan escaped Renee’s mouth. Renee continued, feeling his heart pounding at Vera’s overreaction to even the slightest movement.
“Your body is refreshing! Ma, much better than when I was in town! Whoops! It’s cute! Do you have any secrets?!”
I am OK.
In order to make such an appeal, Renee spat out words one after another, and Vera, who took a long breath, sat down again and continued the conversation.
“It is only natural that I was healed by the priests. Healing with divine arts has the ability to revitalize the body.”
“Ah, ah… !”
Renee nodded slightly at the explanation he heard, and a smile appeared on his lips. His head turned in the direction he heard Vera’s voice.
“Ugh… How many days have passed since I fell?”
“Two days.”
Two days. At the answer she heard, Renee raised a look of surprise and continued.
“Is that so?”
It feels like I just fell asleep and woke up as usual, but has it already happened?
“Yeah, I’m really glad you woke up here in good health. The Holy Father and the other members of the church were all very worried.”
“Are you saints?”
“Yes, all the other apostles and priests in the Holy Kingdom were concerned about St.
“ah… .”
the words you hear. At that, Renee could realize that he had entered the Kingdom of God belatedly.
He had set foot in Seongguk, which he swore not to see even if he didn’t care because of his resentment against the gods.

Of course, a situation in which anxiety or discomfort should arise.
However, his mind was surprisingly calm.
“… That’s right.”
As Renee said so, he wiggled his entangled hands.
There was a feeling of warmth or a slightly rough skin.
‘Is this because of this?’
Is it because of this hand that makes me so peaceful? Rene, thinking of such a thought, quickly snorted and smirked.
‘What am I saying.’
What does this have to do with being at peace? Renee giggled at the thought he had come up with so funny that he quickly shook off his thoughts and spit out a question to Vera.
It was a question about what he should do in the future.
“What am I going to do from now on?”
“I think you should focus on recovering your body right now. Since then… First of all, we are recruiting manpower to attend the saint, so the full-scale schedule will start only after the number of people is confirmed. Sorry for the unsatisfactory answer… .”
“Don’t do it.”
“… Yes.”
What are you trying to apologize for again? Renee smirked at Vera’s attitude, and spit out the words as she recalled the thought, ‘You’re really becoming a saint now.’
“… Can you do it?”
It was a natural concern.
Can a blind man who has never left that small rural village in his lifetime, Mojiri, who has lost his powers and collapsed, can play such a great role?
Rene asked a question out of concern, and Vera answered it in a tone that felt even resolute.
“You will be able to become a person more suitable for the position than anyone else.”
“what if… .”
“There is no.”
In response to the rare answer he gets by interrupting himself, Renee added a question with a feeling of tickling in his stomach for some reason.
“Because the knight will do that?”
“That’s right.”
Vera’s answer was that he uttered with greater conviction than himself.
Renee thought about how he could be so sure, and he nodded slightly, thinking that his belief felt reassuring for some reason.
“… I should get well soon.”
The strength in his hand grew, and the warmth of the hand he had been holding until then grew stronger.
The warmth of someone who believes in me.
It felt like his anxiety had subsided a little.
