133 – Intruder (2)

Looking at it, it was a very familiar impression.

tanned skin. pure white hair. Even the eyepatch covering the eyelids.

An appearance that perfectly matches the montage in memory.

It must have been. He was a member of the group of assassins who attacked the hero the other day.

Kwak.

The cutlass he grabbed in reverse naturally gained strength.

Although the opponent is temporary, the person who was accompanying the person who had a history of pushing the hero.

It was because I didn’t have enough guts to tie the strings of tension loosely against such an unusual existence.

”Please be gentle. I already called someone. You’d better put aside the idea that you’ll be able to escape as easily as before.”

”Oh, yes? That’s a big deal ♪”

Cheerfully responding to my ridiculous bravado, she flashed a terrifyingly ominous smile.

It’s just that it’s been passed down through word of mouth, so it’s only a little weak, but the bluff I gave you a while ago couldn’t be seen as just a bluff.

Unlike before when I was attacked unexpectedly, even I, a substitute, had weapons like this, so we were in perfect condition now.

Furthermore, they even notified the fact that an intruder had appeared to a group of Heretic Questioners who were known for their quick feet.

It was obvious that soon all the Guardian Priests serving in the monastery would converge here to eliminate the unholy intruder.

It wasn’t me who was cornered, but rather her side. This in itself was an undoubted fact.

”Can you please stop staring at me so scary? I apologize for trying to kill the hero last time! huh? This time I just came here to have a chat! really! And unlike the other kids, I’m not good at fighting! I’m confident in running away!”

Pudeuk.

I inadvertently broke my teeth.

It was not easy to calm the rising anger.

Her self-righteous attitude, which took people’s lives lightly, also played a big part, but the fact that the target was none other than the warrior was indescribable.

”But how the hell did you survive getting hit by that knife instead? Did all the clerics in this system suffer and put a curse on a level that could not be healed even if they flocked to it?’

”I don’t think you have an obligation to answer.”

I reluctantly responded, as it seemed that if I left him alone, he would continue to make noise.

To be honest, I didn’t even want to mix a word, let alone talk.

”Ha ha ♪ You’re a colder man than you look! how is it? Shall I give you a hug?”

”I will refuse…”

”I didn’t say I’d hug you♬”

”!?”

Whoo!

I swung my sword reflexively at the unfamiliar presence that attacked the rear without warning.

Pacan!

The bloody noise of metal colliding with metal left a green tinnitus in my ears, but my body, fully prepared for battle, was already moving ahead before my head gave any command.

Before long, the blows aimed at my head came from two completely different directions.

After narrowly avoiding the unexpected attack by twisting his body diagonally, he put his elbows and kicks in turn toward the epicenter of the attack.

Fuck! Kwajik!

The sound of bones being crushed and walls being crushed came one after another.

But it’s still too early to be careless.

Because I haven’t dealt with the assailant who is stabbing me in the head yet.

”Sup.”

one breath. No, after taking a short breath, about half a breath, I grabbed the wrist of an unknown person standing behind me and pinned it roughly to the floor.

Quaang!

”Whoa…”

”Huiyu~♪”

The clumsy whistling sound behind the heavy punching sound was quite annoying, but it was a matter of no concern.

Because the biggest problems faced in front of my eyes have been taken care of to some extent.

”Hey, you weren’t a fan at all? I’m sure you’re a cute coward who won’t say anything even if you’re hit in the back of the head and just rip it off ♪ You’re so different from anyone I know!”

Seeing me subduing all the assailants who were my own limbs in an instant, the woman suddenly uttered words of admiration.

It was an undeniable fact that I was a coward who avoided quarrels, but even I knew how to cover the time and place.

Through his experience, he was clearly aware of how arrogant it is to try to preserve the lives of those who decide to take the lives of others and try to harm them.

”Anyway, this is really funny. Scarecrows who can’t handle even a few scoundrels with a single sword are set up as guards, and the clown priest alone easily subdues all those people. Seriously, is there a problem with the line? Or are you a bit special?”

”under····.”

It wasn’t even worth replying to, so I just let out a sigh.

that i am special It was an absurd remark that even a passing dog would laugh at.

”Again, please be gentle. If not…”

It was then.

Right after I insinuatedly confirmed the face of the assailant beneath me, my lips, which had been silently proclaiming the notice, froze in an instant.

”May God… smile at you…”

”····!”

The identity of the stranger who kept repeating the same sentence over and over again like a broken music box even while blood was pouring out of his mouth was the Heretic Questioner I had a conversation with just a moment ago.

Of course, we didn’t meet face-to-face, but it was clear from the Heretic Questioner’s unique demeanor and familiar voice.

”no way!”

I hurriedly looked around to confirm the dark red suspicion that passed by suddenly.

And that suspicion was resolved at once in a form I did not expect.

”I told you. I can’t fight♪”

The woman’s mischievous remarks added to the conclusion I had reached.

A monster who attacked me out of nowhere. All of them were Heretic Questioners.

Furthermore, the woman in front of me was manipulating all of them like my own limbs.

”This····.”

As if trying to stop the astonishment leaking out from the edge of his lips, his hand, which had risen spontaneously, cupped the corners of his mouth.

It was because I felt a terrifying sense of deja vu.

From the time I first encountered this woman who identified herself as Beta, certain assumptions that had floated and subsided in my mind instantly dominated my thoughts.

This is like a saintess…

”Cool!”

It was someone’s painful groans that brought my consciousness, which had been immersed in thoughts for a moment, back to reality.

When I moved my gaze to the direction I heard the sound, dark red blood was leaking from the mouth of the Heretic Questioner who had been knocked out by my kick.

I adjusted my strength to the point where I didn’t die, but since I was the one who didn’t lose my original body in my martial arts, I couldn’t be certain if the addition or subtraction was really accurate.

The internal organs may have been injured by fragmented bones.

Although he had already used the miracle of healing once, at least he had to perform first aid.

hurriedly threw herself away.

What I realized was that the vigilance that had been aimed at the suspicious woman in front of me had softened a little bit because of that.

”It’s foolish~ Really~”

It was the moment when the woman showed a sinister smile like the Cheshire Cat in a fairy tale, with her index and middle fingers pinched together with her thumb.

Right.

It was right after that resonant sound rang.

Paji Jiji!!!

The Heretic Questioners who were rolling on the floor. Fierce ice bursting from their bodies engulfed the area in an instant.

”hahahaha, got it!”

”Quit!”

When I came to my senses, my limbs were already deeply buried in the bloody ice pillars that rose from the bodies of the Heretic Questioners.

”What do you think? Are you willing to talk now?”

lightly. Before I knew it, the woman approached right in front of me, gently lifted my chin with her index finger and forcibly met my eyes.

The despair of not being able to save a life that could have been saved.

Intense disgust towards those who regard human life as just a tool.

What uttered the clearest voice in my mind, where thoughts were jumbled together, was the word the nun had just given me.

‘It is clear that one of the bandits who raided the monastery the other day performed some kind of trick on my body that takes effect with a time difference!’

The sudden silence did not last long.

”It was your fault…”

”Oh, then who did you think it was? Fuhahahaha ♪”

behavior. thought. behavior.

All of that was embarrassing and unpleasant.

I’ve seen many wicked people who couldn’t be rehabilitated, but I’ve never seen a single person who was so deviant.

Her very existence aroused a primordial disgust in me.

I couldn’t quite define the reason, but it was clear that the fact that she was so much like someone I knew was a big part of it.

I wanted to deny it as much as possible, but at this point, I had no choice but to admit it honestly.

Yes, she resembled a saintess.

I wasn’t talking about appearance or personality.

Something resembled It was a crude expression, but my lack of vocabulary was the limit to describe it in this way.

Still, if I tried to make sense of it, it was like this.

ruined her

It was like looking at a broken saintess.
