Episode 428. A Saint’s Duty (2)

The darkness lifts.

A ray of light shining through the dark clouds.

Even the rough waves calmed down.

Cuckoo Cuckoo!

The magic power that burned itself was incomparable to anything else in its purity.

thud!

Teresa erected the ‘Standard of Joan of Arc’.

[Hero-limited skill ‘Miracle of Orléans’ is activated!]

[The defense of the ship increases by 1000% according to the power of Mercury! (10 minutes)]

[Magic resistance increases by 100% and morale increases by 200% (10 minutes)]

A golden barrier spread over the ship.

The will to never back down no matter what happens.

“I won’t let you pass this place.”

Like a lonely lighthouse against the storm.

The last saintess stepped forward to fulfill that responsibility.

“Koooooo!”

The Kraken let out a wild roar.

A buzzing atmosphere.

The white light and holy energy seemed to bother her, and her legs fell to the surface of the water.

Wow!

A tremendous shock hit the barrier.

A crack along the wall.

As a symbol of the apocalypse, even simple attacks had different specifications.

but.

“…”

Theresa withstood the blow.

The ship was greatly shaken, but nothing was broken.

Of course, Kraken couldn’t help but dislike the rebellion of the small creatures.

Kukukukuku…

In an instant, numerous legs wrapped around the ship.

It is because of the idea of sinking the whole thing with light force.

Right then.

Took.

Theresa moved forward.

Theresa kicked off the boat and climbed onto the Kraken’s leg, quickly swinging her sword.

The subtle divine power that burns along the blade.

Puffer Puck!

Several lines of scars appeared on the leg.

Although the Kraken had excellent defense, it was difficult to completely block Teresa’s attack, which had activated ‘White Flame’.

A long stream of blood gushed out.

Theresa leaped toward the other leg with a slight movement.

fast.

It was because it moved, leaving an afterimage before the legs grabbed it.

fault!

[Lv19 ‘Holy Ho’ is activated!]

[Lv24 ‘Holy Ho’ is activated!]

Two energy formed on the sword.

The names of Teresa and Joan of Arc merged into one.

A pair of golden crosses appeared.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

“Gaaaa!”

One of the Kraken’s legs turned into a hive.

The wounds touched by divine power deteriorated even faster.

The Kraken twisted.

A scream full of rage.

It’s not because the damage was great.

That a human who thought he was less than a bug inflicted a small wound on himself.

The fact itself touched the planting.

crush and kill in an instant

Quadduk!

The sole of the boat was shattered in one blow.

It was impossible to protect the ship even with Orléans’ miraculous barrier and various magic.

[The deities of Eden are silent.]

Despite repeated shouts, Eden did not respond to Teresa’s call.

The reason is unknown.

For whatever reason, the angels were silent.

Theresa tried hard to make up her mind.

‘doesn’t care.’

In the first place, the purpose is to turn off time.

I didn’t even think about winning against this monster.

All that’s left now is to use the fragments as much as possible to get away and catch the Kraken’s gaze.

Theresa balanced on the rubble.

…come.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Beneath the surface, he could see the Kraken’s legs moving.

Each one was of ridiculous size, comparable to a building.

I felt like my whole body would freeze in fear.

fault!

It moves though.

Believe in Joan of Arc’s protection and the ability of the white flame. You must struggle until the end.

Because that was the only way he could do it.

* * *

“A saint… that’s definitely annoying.”

Hastings, who was watching everything from above, kept biting his nails.

We have to wipe out the humans right now and block the small variables…

Theresa was ruining the plan.

Of course, being recognized by Joan of Arc, which even the gods and administrators couldn’t deal with, was one of the causes that added to the stress.

“A combination of a idiot who succeeds in a troublemaker who is obsessed with heroism and sacrificing spirit…”

Now that every minute and every second is important, I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

furthermore. Jin-hyeok, whose whereabouts were unknown, was equally anxious.

At the point where the Kraken appeared, the result would not change no matter what method was used…

but why?

Why is my mind not stable?

I thought I would definitely take a leisurely look around.

I couldn’t possibly sit still.

This is because it was none other than Jin-hyeok who destroyed countless plans so far.

“Damn it, if only Tamia hadn’t been stranded… I wouldn’t have had to push myself like this.”

Ancient dragon bones.

It is a trumpet material obtained and prepared with Tamia and Exension.

If this was properly completed as a weapon, it would be the strongest card capable of killing opponents.

However, the plan was disrupted because the dragons of the upper echelons, including Tamia, were engulfed in a conflict.

It is because factions began to divide over the successor position as the ancient dragons and elders intervened.

at last.

For a while, it was difficult to move recklessly.

Tok… Tok…

Hastings tapped the windowpane with his finger, nervously.

Now that this has happened, everything should be finished well with Kraken.

The current point in time when the primeval beings are upset due to successive failures.

Any more pods should be prevented from being caught.

“How did I come this far… I can’t do that. A single human being can’t bring down a tower that’s been built over a thousand years.”

You may even be stripped of the command of a senior manager.

In the worst case, even your life…

As soon as you thought that, you felt a cold chill run through your body.

* * *

Kwaaang!

“Aagh!”

Teresa’s body rose into the air with a violent spray.

I’ve been running as far as I can, but that’s it.

“Haa… haa…”

Breathing hard.

Joan of Arc’s flag also lost its original luster.

Still…

I bought quite a lot of time.

At this rate, most of the fleet would have gotten out to a safe place.

-Are you okay?

Another personality speaks.

“It’s okay. This is enough…”

There’s no way it’ll be okay.

How can you be all right?

But now everything is too late.

The bridges soaring high into the sky were poised to crush everything on the sea at any moment.

Theresa bowed her head resignedly.

Whoops!

The legs fell simultaneously.

But just then

Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!

A spectacular explosion occurred.

“Koooooo!”

A moan of a completely different kind came from the Kraken.

No way… support came?

An earthquake shook Teresa’s pupils.

No way.

I have already confirmed that everyone has fled to the other side.

I’ve lived to the fullest, so where would anyone dare to come back to the limbs?

But the other side…

‘It doesn’t make any more sense.’

I threw it away coldly. Saying we can’t be together anymore

He treated me so coldly in front of everyone, but there was no way he would come.

anyway.

Maybe…

Theresa slowly raised her head.

Jinhyuk was standing there.

“Why…?”

I really had to ask that.

Because I didn’t understand it at all.

“My company can’t go out on its own until I resign. Well, aside from that, there is also a relationship with Teresa since she went to the corridor.”

Employee safety is one of the most important things as a company representative.

Above all, I am able to copy the ‘White Flame’, a unique sacred spear obtained due to my high bond with Joan of Arc… I

can never make it fall victim to the lesser Knights of the Holy Cross or the rest of the large guilds.

Of course, I can’t say such things openly, so it would be best to mix in appropriate comments here.

A smile appeared to form on Jinhyuk’s lips.

Let’s be a little more diligent here.

“Theresa doesn’t have to be in charge of everything.”

The utopia of having to save everything is just an utopia.

It’s impossible in reality, so it’s just called utopia.

Above all, if you have to sacrifice yourself…

What happiness and meaning will there be in that life?

It was a short word, but the meaning of the words was by no means light.

At least that was the case with the saintess.

“A little…”

Theresa’s eyes reddened.

“…Can I put it down?”

overwhelming sense of pressure.

Just like you saved Amsterdam.

Just like we had to save Europe from the lich.

It was too much for me to have to save people from all dangers in the future.

“You can put it down. At least in front of us.”

It’s not a story about throwing everything away.

Theresa’s nature made it absolutely impossible.

Even if they are forced to abandon others, they will live with regret and suffering for the rest of their lives.

I just…

I just want to help with that burden a little bit.

“How dare you touch our temple on the subject of an octopus. Whether it’s Apocalypse or Nabal, you should tell them how stupid this is, don’t you?”

At Jinhyeok’s words, everyone on the boat spat out one word at a time.

“Bar, it wouldn’t be bad to leave a debt to the foolish saintess.”

Elise pursed her lips as if her anger hadn’t gone away yet.

“Damn it. You talk a lot in front of a guy like that.

Chun Youseong drew his sword.

“Give me orders, my lord.”

Wolyeong was also ready to jump on the boat at any time.

It’s finally starting.

The final raid that will decide the success or failure of the 29th floor.

Parts!

“Mooogiii!”

Starting with the sweet potato’s breath, the Goinmul Corporation’s attack began.

Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!

A tremendous magical storm struck the Kraken’s face.

It was so powerful that even the Kraken could not help but be shocked.

What followed was white phosphorus bombs dropped by Lee Tae-min’s drones.

Chunk! Chunk!

…kwakkwak!

A flame that burns even in water.

In the blink of an eye, thick steam rose over the sea.

“I’ll get out of here for now.”

A gap earned by colleagues.

Holding Teresa, Jinhyeok quickly flew toward the White Pearl.

Jinhyeok, who lightly stepped on the debris and accelerated, reached the ship that was over 100m away.

“thank you.”

Theresa smiled weakly.

It was a smile that seemed like it would break at any moment.

Things aren’t very good either.

It was because she used Jeanne d’Arc’s ‘White Flame’ forcibly, consuming too much life force.

If I continue like this…

I will lose my life.

It was then.

[Some deities of ‘Eden’ reveal their presence!]

As if waiting, the status window appeared.

Angels who had been silent even when Teresa had been in a situation of death appeared.
