86 – so – 2

-Kurrr

When Veronica and Cecil came out of the ordeal, they were attacked by a giant pig-headed monster. I was fighting ‘chaos’.

The pig’s muzzle roared with both arms open, as if it was about to make a big attack.

great. Then I’ll join you…

“Where?”

-Kwueee

Veronica ran quickly and aimed her mace between Chaos’s legs.

– Brisk… Boom!

At the sound of something exploding, I unknowingly put my hand between my legs, and the chaos looked quite painful to the extent that I did.

No matter what, it’s like that, without any acknowledgment…

Even though it’s an enemy, it’s a pity…

The moment Veronica, who had made the trembling attack casually just by looking at it, stepped back, Cecil held the staff with both hands and aimed the magic stone at the end of the staff at Chaos’s head.

“Double Starlight Shot.”

Shooting from the jewel were two streams of starlight. The two lights that split the darkness destroyed the head of chaos at once, and its huge size collapsed.

towards Veronica.

-Roaring!!

Veronica, who glanced at the giant falling on her, grabbed the mace round and round. At the same time, a divine spark appeared.

At once, the flame of the Holy Spirit dwelt in her mace, and she rotated her body strongly while holding the mace with both hands.

-Puuu!!

Although Veronica seemed dwarfed compared to the collapsing giant, her strength, amplified by blessings and various buffs, was by no means ordinary.

The corpse of Chaos was thrown out of the body by the powerful blow that he swung while turning his body.

Wow. Anyway, they fight really well.

Even without saying a word to each other, our hands and feet fit well.

…is it a good fit?

“Huh? Are you out?”

I hurriedly lowered the moonlight that had turned into a sword. The nun’s uniform stained with the blood of chaos, the sticky blood dripping from her silver hair, soaking her face here and there.

And the mace in his hand was dripping with flesh of chaos.

Veronica’s charm was revealed in the irony created by the kind smile of a beautiful woman who looked as if she had beaten dozens of people to death.

“Uh. Yes. Hmm. Looks like there’s no problem?”

“There’s no problem… but the body is very dirty.”

The blood clotted in her long, beautiful silver hair must have been annoying. Veronica pursed her lips and grumbled.

I remembered the characteristics of Cecil’s Double Starlight Shot.

Double Starlight Shot is a magic that embodies the power of light and inflicts high penetration damage on the opponent.

However, there is a caveat when using this magic, and if there is a potential, there is a high probability of getting a status abnormality called ‘bloody’ due to a penetrating wound.

If you are caught in ‘bloody’, if you do not wash it off quickly, it will intimidate your enemies, but your party members will not like it that much.

…Well, let’s assume that it wasn’t on purpose.

“Come here. I’ll purify you.”

I turned the moonlight into a staff.

One skill related to purification among wizards, shamans, or priests will quickly remove the bloody status ailment.

So maybe I can release it.

“Yes! Thank you…”

“purification.”

When trying to use the skill, Cecile moved her wand first.

At the same time, the blood staining Veronica’s body disappears at once.

Veronica looked at Cecile and me alternately for a moment, then smiled.

“Thank you. Prince Cecil.”

It’s a face that doesn’t thank you at all.

“What. Both of you are working hard for me. Thank you too.”

Likewise, it’s a face that doesn’t appreciate it at all.

hahaha. Guys.

I’m good with you.

“By the way, Hyeonu. Are you okay? Recovery is…”

Just as I was about to say something, looking all over my body, Veronica came right in front of me.

“God. Hug your child.”

Veronica put her hand on my cheek and used the skill. The soft light of holy power covers my body.

But I’m not hurt, so I’m fine, right?

Anyway, I feel better.

“thank you.”

“I’m trying to fight the devil for the sake of the church, but I’m more grateful. Thank you, Hyunwoo.”

“…wasn’t it for me?”

Veronica smiled broadly as Cecile spoke in a voice full of timidity from behind.

“It is the Church’s duty to oppose the devil.”

“Really? It seems like they’re working hard to curse the Claudia family. There are a lot of things prepared for them.”

Fighting here is for me.

But I wasn’t stupid enough to bring up such a thing here and make the atmosphere cheap.

I patted the shoulders of Veronica and Cecil, who were smiling wide at each other.

It doesn’t matter if I fight by the collar, but I don’t think there’s a need to be like this right now.

“If you have the strength to fight, save it and use it to fight the devil. Guys.”

Only then did the two look at each other and stop smiling.

“Okay. But what’s the next ordeal?? It’s over, right?”

“Yes. The last ordeal is the ordeal of discord.”

Actually, it’s an ordeal that can be skipped if you go alone, so it’s an ordeal that you can just skip if you’re in a hurry, but what if you’ve already come as a party?

“It’s an ordeal that causes discord among party members… Well, there’s nothing difficult. Come on. Let’s go.”

In the place where I went down the road, unlike before, there were two doors and one sign.

The door on the left is so gorgeous that anyone can think of it as gorgeous.

It was a door made of gold and silver treasures.

It was a nice door that made me feel comfortable just looking at it, but the other side was showing the complete opposite.

It was decorated with skeletons, knives, and screaming people as if they would kill you if you openly entered here.

“…what’s this?”

Staring at the sign in front of the two doors, Veronica was startled.

And Cecil, who was next to her, also sighed in amazement and bit her lip.

“Sage. You should come and take a look. This…”

“It’s okay because I know what it is. The left is the door of healing. The right is the door of penance.”

If you go through the door on the left, you can receive all kinds of entertainment and healing.

If you enter through the right door, you will have to go through all kinds of hardships and hardships.

And those who have entered the door of penance can see in detail how those who have entered the door of healing are resting.

“two…”

“There are two here too. Um. Okay. We can do it like this. Prince Cecil. You’d better go back.”

There were two patterns of shimmering on the inside of the open door.

This means it can accommodate up to two people.

No one here knew what this meant, and Veronica quickly came up with the smartest answer.

“That would be nice.”

Originally, my plan was to only bring Veronica with me.

Apparently deciding that it was better than causing trouble, Cecil stepped back and the patterns on each door disappeared one by one in accordance with her movements.

“…what?!”

“It’s not an ordeal if you can solve it that easily.”

The smartest answer is not the right answer.

Even in the game, there were times when I deliberately took an even number, or I dismissed one person by disbanding the party here.

However, after checking the door, the number of people allowed to enter has changed.

There is only one easy way to get through this place.

All you have to do is come alone from the beginning and enter the door of healing.

Is it because of the mood? The screaming skeleton engraved on the door of penance seemed to be laughing.

Everyone must enter through the door of asceticism.

I smiled at the empty eyeballs of the skeleton.

Don’t worry.

I will go even if you tell me not to come.

This is also a good opportunity for achievements.

“…That’s why it’s called the trial of discord.”

Veronica nodded and naturally headed for the penance door, and I grabbed her slender waist.

Move! This achievement is mine!

“Kyaaak?!?”

“Where?”

“Why! I’ve done a lot of penance while training!”

“Yes. Yes. Okay. Go and get some rest.”

“You!

where did i touch

I turned the struggling Veronica around and held her in the arms of the princess, smiling at her as she glared at me with a blushing expression, and dragged her toward the door of healing.

“You-you want to suffer alone again…!”

“Whoa. I don’t suffer this much. Then get some rest.”

“Kyaaa!!

sent one

I turned my eyes to Cecile. Should I force him in?

Was it because he saw Veronica enter? Cecile raised her wand as if she was quite nervous, and began to be wary of me.

who eats it?

“What if I refuse?”

“I think you decided to listen carefully to me?”

“…I don’t remember anything like that.”

“Really? Then let’s do something like that now.”

Cecile frowned. No matter how much she has the qualities of an archmage, that is only after the dragon’s curse is lifted.

If I fight head-on now, I have no choice but to win unconditionally.

How does a wizard with no vanguard fight a sage and win?

Cecile knew that, so she just bit her lip.

“Why do you dare to take the hard road? Isn’t the original purpose of this place to make one person the scapegoat after having them fight each other?”

“right.”

“But why are you…”

“It’s my business, don’t worry about it.”

“If we all go in, are there any monsters out here? Aren’t monsters appearing like last time and interfering?”

“Ah. It doesn’t come out here. It’s the last one, but there has to be a difference.”

“…How do you know that? Are you talking about a sage or something?”

“Why do you ask if you know?”

“…Ha. Really.”

I laughed at her as she let out a sigh.

“You keep going to the door of asceticism while doing useless repairs.”

Cecile, who had been moving slowly, clicked her tongue briefly.

If you say go the easy way, why do you bother going the hard way and disturbing others?

After transforming the moonlight into a shield, I stood in front of the door of penance.

“You can’t get past it!!”

“…I will definitely pay this debt.”

In the end, Cecil trudged toward the door of healing.

The moment she entered, a new message window popped up in front of my eyes.

[You have achieved the Sacrificial Lamb achievement.]

[Acquired skill: Pain Absorption as an achievement reward.]

The achievement that can be obtained when taking on the role of the scapegoat in this way is the scapegoat achievement.

I thought I was going to get it during the main story, but strangely, I didn’t get it because I didn’t get a chance.

But I’m glad I got this anyway.

After checking the achievements, I read the newly acquired skills.

pain absorption.

It is literally a skill that brings injuries, mental illness, or abnormal conditions of others to oneself.

Ah-oh. I finally got this honey skill that I should have acquired during the main story.

Even in the game, if you had this skill, you wouldn’t have to fear the abnormal status of your party members.

Of course, I needed a setting to absorb the pain, but it wasn’t particularly difficult.

I hummed as I recalled the skills I currently possessed and the equipment needed for setting.

How can I not be happy that I ate one achievement and one skill raw.

ruler. Then let’s go in.

After preparing to pass the ordeal of asceticism, I lightly jumped into the shimmer.

***

“aaa!”

It was a more splendid room than the one I had seen in Reidin.

There are beds and sofas that look very comfortable. Appetizing food was laid out.

When Veronica was moved to that room and was bursting with anger, Cecil entered through the door she had entered.

“Hyunwoo?!”

“There’s no way I can beat a sage.”

“Ugh… You idiot…!!”

With tears in her eyes, Veronica stomped her feet.

At one end of the room, Veronica, who vomited her worries out in such an annoyance, and Cecil, who had been silent with their arms crossed and making a bad taste.

When the antique door opened, I turned my eyes toward it.

“welcome.”

when did it appear A black-haired beauty in a black suit bowed her head respectfully to the two.

“This is Leia, who is in charge of this trial of healing.”

“… Hurry up and finish the ordeal. Rather than that, what will happen to those who went to the ordeal of asceticism? Will the ordeal of asceticism end quickly if we end quickly?”

To Veronica’s urgent question, Leia just answered calmly.

“If you want to end this ordeal quickly.”

Leia lightly raised her hand, and at that moment, gorgeous beauties in maid uniforms appeared.

“You must rest as much as possible during the designated time. If you want pleasure, I will provide you with a man or a woman…”

“…I do not need!”

“Me too. Okay. Then what should I do to end the ordeal as quickly as possible?”

In response to Veronica and Cecil’s question, Leia spoke in a blunt tone.

“Like I said before, you can get some rest.”

“…..”

“Very comfortable.”

– Knock it.

Towards Veronica and Cecil, who were grinding their teeth, Leia spoke calmly.

“To the extent that the colleague whom you have made a scapegoat undergoes the ordeal of asceticism.”
