65 – lucky – 2

After the appearance of the Demon King, the damage caused by demons increased even more. As a result, many people on the continent were killed by monsters, and it had the same meaning as mass-producing numerous orphans.

Veronica was one of those orphans. Born in an ordinary village to ordinary parents.

If so, she had to grow up as normal as her parents and villagers did.

However, the attack of the monsters strengthened by the demon lord took away her ‘normal’ in an instant.

Many people were eaten by monsters and died.

And, ironically, the little girl who lost the ordinary became aware of the special by losing the ordinary.

The day the church went out to help save a village that was attacked by monsters. The church found out.

That the special chosen child saved countless people.

She used only her unique powerful holy power to pressure the monsters and prevent them from moving.

However, that child could not save as much as his own family in the end.

The child who was wrapped in brilliant light and saved his life with a powerful protective shield.

I realized solitude by becoming special.

Afterwards, the girl who lost her normalcy became a nun of the church and quickly revealed her strength.

And, while it strengthened the church’s strength, it also strained many priests. again made me wary.

When Veronica surpassed the holy power of a novice nun, the nuns who had trained for several years were jealous of her.

When Veronica surpassed the holy power of an intermediate nun, the nuns who trained for decades were wary of her.

When Veronica surpasses the holy power of a senior nun.

The upper echelons of the church felt the crisis.

and.

The day Veronica becomes an adult.

Having more power than the pope, the cardinals of the church and the pope felt uneasy about her.

Even the church that accepted her could not be her rest for Veronica, who became special and more isolated from the ordinary.

Many people worship her.

Many people adore her.

It might have been natural for Veronica, who could not stand outside in the eyes of envy, but behind the eyes of only those who were jealous of her specialness, to become a heretic inquisitor who often worked outside the church.

That’s why Veronica was very different from the priests of the church.

Because he was guarded and worshiped by the priests who were supposed to do good.

Rather than feeling vaguely good towards them, I only thought they were also human beings.

And, because I had no choice but to let go of my expectations for them.

So, she had no choice but to have expectations.

A being who will fight against the demon king, the evil of the world, and carry out good deeds under the protection of the gods.

About the warrior and the warrior party.

and.

That expectation has undoubtedly collapsed, and in an unexpected place

She came to meet a special line that even she could not help but admire.

that’s why i knew

Why did so many people in the church send such a gaze.

‘A normal me.’

to the ‘special you’.

It would have been a natural thing to be attracted to.

Ahh. okay. You were even more special in being special.

who did it A lotus flower blooms in mud.

The more you see the ugly side of the warrior party, which is special and special enough to receive God’s protection, the more beautiful you are.

You, who has only one single thought to defeat the demon king and bring peace to the continent.

He was more special than me, who only had strong holy power.

That’s why I hated the mud clinging to the special and beautiful flowers.

Like the people who tried to use themselves in the church.

The warrior party also seemed to be trying to use your specialness.

It was absolutely unacceptable to scold you, harass you, and not even save you on such a subject.

That’s why I wanted to save you.

However, you didn’t avoid hardships, and you silently walked the thorny road.

You are in a place where no one can help.

“……”

Veronica lifted her slowly closed eyelids and escaped from her thoughts. Soon the mud that was meant to stain the special will come.

So you have to take care of your heart.

This job is to do what Hyeonu wants.

At most, you might think you need help like mud, but since it’s the way he chose and decided, it’s only natural that you follow it.

However, I didn’t like the fact that ‘they’ approached Hyeonu.

Why is it you?

Claire, who doesn’t know what treasure is and can’t even manage it, becomes a hero.

Did stupid Leventiana and Evangeline, who were trying to damage the treasure, become members of the hero’s party?

if it were me

If I were a member of the warrior party.

If I was a member of the warrior party, who was evaluated as special by many people in the church.

would have protected you

Veronica clenched her fists.

“…You guys. You’re in luck.”

That’s why Veronica had no choice but to spit out a word, swallowing disgust at the woman who appeared in front of her eyes.

really.

You guys are really lucky.

***

While Evangeline was infiltrating, I couldn’t just play around.

Immediately out of the inn, I circled around the church. how much did it move

As I entered an alley with few people, I felt someone flocking here and there through the thief’s skill, Detection.

At least, it was at the level of a knight of a fairly decent order.

I still have it.

I continued walking, and when I entered a completely deserted alleyway, people in black robes appeared from a crevice in the alleyway.

They knew enough just by looking at them.

Assassins of the Black Rebel.

As soon as they saw me, the guys who drew their weapons without hesitation sent a sad murder, and I transformed the moonlight into a sword.

“Should we say our voice before the fight?”

Catching the Assassins of the Black Traitor does not mean knowing the identity of the rest. Still, in case you don’t know

That’s why I asked, but as expected, they didn’t answer.

no, that’s something you can’t do

– Booooong!!

The sword wind flew and stuck in Hannom’s head. It doesn’t seem to have suffered much damage, but the hood of the one who was hit was completely removed.

What was revealed was a half-rotten face.

undead

To be precise, the upper level undead, ghouls. Green poisonous smoke slowly spewed out from where the face was cut by the effect of the sword wind.

The moment when the ghouls, who were talking incomprehensible sounds instead of feeling pain, rushed at me at the same time.

“Light!! Unclean things will be tied up here!!”

I raised the Divine Mark. It is the rope of the Holy Spirit, a priest’s skill that inflicts great damage on the undead.

Ropes of light appeared on the bodies of the five undead and tied them up, but the two destroyed the ropes of light and attacked me, as if they had succeeded in resisting. Sharp claws aimed at the head and chest. It seemed clear that if the rotten blood dripping hit it, it would be poisoned.

That means you should avoid it.

“Aww!”

After lightly stepping back, I rolled on the floor. No fancy skills were required. Because it only takes one roll. Covered in dust, I lightly dodged their attacks and blew off one of the ghoul’s heads with a swing of my sword.

As before, green poisonous smoke rose and his stamina decreased.

“Fire bolt!!”

Control Hannom’s approach with low-level magic. I cut off the ghoul’s body with another blow and stepped back.

“hahaha! Hello!”

Even if we catch all the ghouls here, it won’t be the end. The real one is a necromancer who controls those ghouls.

This city is the city where the main body of the church is located. Let alone the undead, even necromancers couldn’t enter.

But what was it that allowed him to come in?

The answer was very simple.

According to Tau, the head of the Church, it is because the Pope and some cardinals have allied themselves with the Black Traitor.

Evangeline should be fine…

-Kurrure!!

When I started to hear the cry of an animal in the alley, I turned my eyes towards it.

There was a group of large dogs with black fur and flames in their mouths.

They were evil monsters called Hellhounds.

Wow, I didn’t know you were going to send that out. Unlike a ghoul, that openly uses evil energy, so the church will notice it, right?

– Curry!!

With a fierce roar, a hellhound lunged at me with its mouth open. The moment sharp teeth made of flame aimed at my neck.

-Pur!!

“What? Isn’t it a hellhound? Why is it here?”

“You mean that? Huh? You’re… a wise man, aren’t you?”

It was the faces I knew who shot shadows, blasted the hellhounds, and walked out of the darkness.

S-class adventurer Baltin, a lion beast with a handsome mane.

his wife, Lukendy.

and…

“Ah-oh.”

“Huh?!

“Haa. Hey. Cyron… Please wear some clothes. Really.”

“Ha ha! What is this about!”

“If you get exhibitionism, wear bikini armor!”

“Bikini and armor are just equipment for the weak, worn by children and old women!!”

She had short dark sea-blue hair and many accessories all over her body, but nothing to cover it up.

It was Cyron, a dark elf sorceress with an elastic body.

Out of all the exhibitionists I’ve ever known, she was really the best exhibitionist. As if she wasn’t ashamed of a single point, she chuckled, sticking out her breasts that covered her nipples with two jewels like nipple patches.

That confidence is really cool, but I would like it to be a bit more restrained.

“Human males die of joy when they see me.

“…Ha. That’s it. Hey. The jewel pierced the bottom.”

“Oops.”

The jewel cover barely covered only the important parts, skillfully covering the private parts.

It’s really amazing every time I see it. How do you cover it up?

-Krrrrr…

-Kwajik!!

The moment I smashed the staggering Hellhound’s head with moonlight, the ghouls chasing me appeared. Upon seeing them, Valtin, Lukendi, and Cyron began to wonder even more.

“Here… the undead come out?”

“why?”

“Why?”

You must be curious. But now is not the time to deal with it.

“You guys! Grab those.”

“Huh? Okay.”

I was curious, but the undead are the enemies of the living anyway. So, it was not surprising that they caught the living.

While they were catching the ghouls and hellhounds, I used my detection skill and sensed something escaping from the roof.

“Suck!!”

As I kicked the wall and jumped up, a necromancer in a black robe started bouncing. However.

“It’s late! Man!”

I converted the moonlight into a bow and fired an arrow of magic. The arrow that flew in the form of a beam of light pierced his leg in one blow.

“Kwaaak!!”

I grabbed him right away. great. obtaining additional information.

When I came downstairs with him, things were sorted out. Well, that’s a natural result.

Like Baltin and Lukendi, even that serious level of exhibitionist elf was an S-class adventurer anyway.

Of course, having a few ghouls or hellhounds doesn’t mean you have to suffer.

“What else is that?”

When Cyron approached me without any shame, I took off his hood and checked his face.

Hmm…

It’s the first time I see your face

“Huh? You…?”

“A familiar face?”

“uh.”

Fortunately, Baltin seems to know about this guy. As I looked, he shrugged lightly.

“A messenger from the pope?”

“…Ohh.”

Tau didn’t lie.

I looked at the man with a frustrated expression and hit him with a blow, knocking him out.

Now we just have to wait for Evangeline to come. It seems like the time has come…

“…Hyeonu. Here. Yes, I found what you said…”

Then Evangeline stepped out of the empty void. What was in her hand was a small trinket, and when I received it, it was exactly what I was looking for.

work is still good

“…Evangeline? Why are you here?”

“…Cyron.”

While I was checking the tribunal, Cyron tilted her head and called out to Evangeline. Evangeline, who had not expected her to be there, took a light breath, and silence settled in the alley for a moment.

Evangeline and Cyron.

Of the two, the one who broke the silence was the exhibitionist Dark Elf.

“He competed with me and became a member of the warrior party.
