‘what?’

Hatun, a faithful follower of the Mercian Church, was now in a state of panic.

The cause is the gray-haired man right in front of you.

‘Lian Altane.’

An unpleasant man who had an arrogant attitude from the first time we met.

A person who attends the capital academy and volunteers to protect Elaine.

When Hatun first saw him, he didn’t think much of it.

He said he was in charge of protecting Elaine, but he was just a student who had just entered the academy.

It wasn’t even comparable to him who had trained in the church for many years.

That is why Hatun understood Allegri’s decision.

The place Elaine fled to wasn’t a foreign country, nor was it the academy right next door, and it wasn’t enough that she belonged to another church.

Next to him was a man full of pride who said he was an aristocrat.

If Allegri put his mind to it, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to bring Saint Elaine.

To them, the person named Lian Altane was just a normal student, or, to put it mildly, the name of a promising family.

However, the peculiar thing was that the saintess and the Altane family met again following the previous generations.

Altair, the founder of the Altair family, who was said to have had a particularly close relationship with the saintess in the past, and her descendants.

And Elaine, the successor to the saintess who reappeared after a long time.

It was too exquisite a situation to call it a coincidence.

Although Hatun did not believe in fate, he was able to think about fate for the first time.

“Well!”

He swung his fist, which was dark blue, several times.

The barrier created by Lian, who was just quietly running away, was blocking the attacks of Scarlett and Hatoon.

Even so, Hatun clicked his tongue slightly as he saw Lian not pulling out his sword until the end.

Not showing your opponent your weapon is an act of ignoring your opponent.

It’s Hatoon who doesn’t show much emotional change, but it wasn’t like that in terms of combat. Easily excited and easily excited.

For him, combat was the way to satisfy his few desires.

That’s why Hatun was very angry at being ignored by someone much younger than himself.

In addition, a question asking whether he knows the ‘Cult of Hellas’ he implied.

The man in front of him was by no means an ordinary academy student in the sense that he knew a word that only those chosen within the church could understand.

‘A member of the church? Or a renegade within the Church… .”

bang!

Nervously knocking on the barrier, but there is still no sign of it breaking.

bang! bang!

A stronger energy than before.

Then, pouring a lot of mana, he wrapped his fists with strong energy.

And then it was repeated hitting again.

“Your strength is good, but your brain is not good.”

Hatoon did not stop even at the annoyed nobleman’s grin.

With a roar like hitting a diamond, the inside of the church shakes and resonates with the protective film.

And finally, the protective shield started to shake.

*

no shit

what are you kid doing?

damn-

The protective barrier began to break.

He climbed on top of me like a madman and kept punching me, then finally broke it.

Hatoon is striking down his right arm with a frown.

How sincere he was, the blue river that wrapped around his fist was thicker than before.

I thought he was a guy who knew how to fight to some extent, but I didn’t know he was this crazy.

He is wielding a stronger attack than before as if he is not tired even after beating the defense wall made of Ishtar’s remnants dozens of times.

Scarlett has already stepped back and is talking to Allegri about something.

“Why don’t you stop now? You look exhausted.”

“Huh!”

don’t listen

is it a real beast

With each blow he struck, I could see the cracks in the defenses gradually cracking.

I thought I would get tired and quit if I kept it moderately, but I finally broke it.

I raised my hand and showed it in a posture to reinforce the defense wall.

As expected, Hatoon’s fist, which had been striking down the barrier, became faster.

By the time Hatun’s fist touched the barrier, estimating the interval of the vibration transmitted at regular intervals.

I disarmed the barrier.

“Ugh?!”

As the barrier disappeared and there was no wall for fists to touch, Hatun’s upper body, which had been knocked off balance by force, opened.

It was an opportunity that would never come again.

“Suck!”

I drained most of the mana remaining in my body into the dark sword and immediately jumped into Hatoon’s arms.

Even though he doesn’t have a sword, just wielding a scabbard becomes a tremendous blunt weapon.

Hatun took a defensive stance with his other hand in the blink of an eye, but it was faster for my black sword to be pierced into his abdomen.

A dull feeling was transmitted to the hand holding the handle with a pop.

“Heuk!”

A shockwave was instantaneously generated from the dark sword and Hatoon’s skin that was in contact with it, sending Hatoon to the edge of the wall.

thud-

With a heavy sound, Hatoon’s head bobbed down against the wall.

There’s no way I’m going to be alright since I’ve been hit in the vital spot with the biggest blow I can deliver.

It was an idea that came to me out of the blue, but I’m glad it turned out well.

Looking at Hatun’s behavior, I thought he would be rational, but he showed quite an emotional side.

I never thought I’d run at you without looking back and forth like that just because I’d giggled a few times.

“Hatun!”

“Miss Scarlett, stop him. We must not let them go back.”

“Chit!”

phut!

Scarlett jumped out of her seat and dashed at me.

The whip he had been wielding earlier had gone and the longsword was in his hand.

“Private sword?”

The plain sword, which can only be seen in games, has a unique shape that can be extended like a whip while taking the shape of a sword.

As before, he wielded it like a whip, or like a normal sword.

Although it was not used well because its attack speed and damage were not great, there is no doubt that it is a fairly unique weapon.

It’s even more annoying to meet you here.

Immediately, he swung his black sword and crossed swords with Scarlett.

“You use a unique sword.”

“Lee Nam.”

We dodged her kicks to hit my knee, squeezing each other.

After pushing Scarlet away with force, she immediately attacked with a black sword.

I cut it diagonally, stabbed it around the waist, cut it again, cut it again, and looked at Scarlett’s response.

She only accepted my sword and showed no reaction.

Even more so, there was also an action that kept looking down.

There’s nothing to worry about when swords meet… .

‘crazy.’

It was when I unconsciously lowered my gaze at the feet that were gradually getting colder.

damn-

A chilly mist rose and the floor gradually froze around me.

I got off center right away.

“You are quick to notice.”

“It’s so obvious, there’s no way I wouldn’t notice it.”

“I think I was surprised for something like that.”

Of course I was surprised.

It was a shame because it was warm indoors, but if it was winter or outside, I might have noticed it late or not even know it at all.

Even though the transfer of Allegri and me earlier revealed that she could use magic, I wasn’t careful dealing with Hatun.

He continued to wield the black sword, destroying the ice that immediately created mana and wrapped around him.

Scarlett’s magic could no longer continue, probably because she had used the power of the transfer that had just been activated.

He only frowned as he received my attack.

I sneered at Scarlett and pushed her.

“You seem weak, are you okay?”

In the middle, I could feel Scarlett’s breathing getting rougher as she wielded the plaintive sword.

‘I don’t think he’s the type to stand on the front line.’

Beads of sweat began to form on Scarlett’s pretty face and ran down Scarlett’s neck.

She’s a pretty bad-tempered woman, but in terms of appearance, she’s as pretty as most NPCs.

It is heartbreaking that such a person is in such a pseudo-religion.

I muttered involuntarily.

“You’re such a talented person.”

“Ah… Quiet!”

“Your movements are good, but your swordsmanship is a mess. It seemed like he was using some magic.”

“… Damn it!”

Kkang-

Once again, he deflected Scarlett’s sword, dodged the ensuing rounds kick, and kicked her in the side.

Scarlett screams and runs out.

“Why? Like a burden that can’t even fight without mana?”

“… Kut.”

“Miss Scarlett. It’s done, come back—”

“shut up!”

Scarlett screamed as she looked at Allegri, then rolled her eyes and unfurled her plainclothes sword again.

Of course, I was never beaten by such an honest attack.

It was a nuisance only when dealing with Hatoon, but Scarlett’s attack, left alone, was not threatening.

In addition, mana management was not properly done, and due to close combat with me, a lot of physical strength was consumed.

Allegri must have known this and summoned her, but her warlike nature is rejecting it.

All in all, these cultists have dirty personalities.

It’s even stupid there.

“Kyaaak!”

When Scarlett’s upper body opened wide from swinging the plain sword, I put the remaining mana on my feet and kicked the ground.

And immediately grabbed her arm and succeeded in subduing her with an overturn.

In an instant, I tightened Scarlett’s wrist under me and retrieved the Plain Sword.

Wearing a nun’s uniform torn in places, I turned Scarlett’s arms that were struggling hard behind her back and gently pressed them on top.

Then, Scarlett starts pouring out abusive words in spite of herself.

“Fuck, let go of this! Let go!”

After getting on top of Scarlett, who was spitting out double curses and going mad, she gave a rotten smile to Allegri, who was standing far away.

Your nun is dope.

“There are only three people in this large church. You caught your guard, Allegri.”

“Please let her go.”

“Isn’t it in order to listen to my request first? Aren’t you guys the first to hit it?”

I didn’t like the way Allegri didn’t lose his composure even when he was on the defensive.

“Let go! You son of a– eh!”

“Noisy. You don’t know what will happen to your nun if you keep doing that.”

“You do as you please.”

“what?”

“Do whatever you want. Whether I boil her or kill her, I will never give up on Miss Elaine.”

Allegri turned his head away, as if he was not interested, and went towards Hatun.

Scarlett’s body, which went mad at the sight, stopped.

“Abandoned.”

“Ugh!”

“Today, you will die. It seems that the effects of the curse have not been severe yet.”

“I heard you were going to kill me just now, but you said you were letting go easily? It’s contradictory.”

“Because it doesn’t seem possible right now. That’s why I’m sending you.”

“What if I don’t go? Rather, I came to destroy you guys.”

Sometimes the guy who is said to avenge the saintess suddenly sends her away?

Of course, what are you trying to do?

As with the girls in the basement, there were more than one questionable parts.

I couldn’t go back like this.

The moment I tried to capture mana so slowly,

Allegri’s words left him speechless again.

“Then I’ll give you Miss Scarlett.”
