To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Chapter 358

Episode 358 Choice as a Saint, Choice as a Believer, Choice as a Woman

“Oww…”

Iriel couldn’t stand it and let out a scream at the intense pain that seemed to tear her whole body to shreds.

The blood vessels in her skin were visibly swollen.

The blood vessels burst and the white skin turned red.

The old man giggled at him.

“Three hours. It is the time until the demonic energy planted in your body explodes. Struggling to live! And in the past, it gives me pleasure! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Iriel, who was about to say something, hurriedly shut his mouth.

Every time he moved his body, the speed at which demonic energy spread exponentially increased.

It was clear in my head what would happen if I forced myself to run away.

Even if it wasn’t, the pain made me die, but I couldn’t even move.

The swollen veins in her neck twitched with each breath.

‘Uh… I have to suppress it…’

I tried to release the demonic energy into my body, but there was no way I had the divine power to push it away.

Besides, the old man’s Magi was a little different from the one he knew.

It has the same unique wavelength, but when it enters the body, it feels as if it has become one with the body.

Even if he now had divine power, it was questionable whether he would be able to push it away.

The elderly man left his last words and disappeared with the corpses.

As a result, Iriel was left alone on the forest road.

I barely moved my body and headed towards the bush, but the monsters seemed to react one by one and rushed towards me, probably because of the thick scent of blood emanating from me.

“Kigeek.”

“Keeik…”

Three goblins surrounded her.

When the monsters holding clubs tried to attack, Iriel fought back with an immature body.

She has no divine power and is encroached on by demonic energy, but she is basically strong.

He rolled over on the ground and picked up a stone.

He quickly struck the goblin’s head with it.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

“Kieack!”

The goblin’s head just exploded.

The other two, frightened by him, fled in amazement.

“Cool!”

Iriel coughed up blood while holding the stone in his hand.

It can be said that it is good that the monster left, but the internal wounds became serious.

To make matters worse, two orcs followed the goblins.

“Chwiiik!”

It was the first time he had felt so much fear from an orc who would normally not have even looked at him.

Iriel squeezed the stone in his hand with a stiff face.

Now was not the time to be worrying about Margie.

“Ugh… If I had known it would be like this… I would have done well at least for the last time… Huhuhuhu.”

I smiled quietly and forced my arms that didn’t move any further.

want to live However, if it will be the last time, I want to convey my feelings without any delay.

However, the moment the words come out of the mouth, the ban will be triggered.

There was also a lot of heart that he didn’t want to betray Goddess Gaia.

Conflicts arose between herself as a saint, as a follower of Goddess Gaia, and as a woman.

Of course, the Orcs weren’t nice enough to wait for the answer to come out.

In the end, without making any decision, Iriel opened the leather pouch.

There was a potion that Ray had given him.

* * *

Ray pursued the direction of the troops of the Holy Kingdom with mana raised all over his body.

The distance that would take half a day passes quickly, so finding them is not too difficult.

However, the troops of the Holy Kingdom crossed the forest road to shorten the time.

It could be said that there was a slight difference in distance from where Ray was heading.

Searching around the village like a rat, he arrived at Frio Kingdom without even getting any information about the envoy to the kingdom.

The kingdom of Frio, which he watched in front of his eyes, looked like it could no longer be called a country.

The castle was razed in half and the village was so devastated that it could not even be set on fire.

The houses collapsed to the point where I couldn’t even recognize what shape they were in before, so I said that.

“What is all this about?”

Even if I wanted to ask, there was not a single person alive in this area.

What he could see was the ground dug up as if a large explosion had occurred several times.

It’s faint, but I can feel the remnants of magic.

At first, the randomly turned upside down land seemed to gradually lead to a single path.

Ray followed it.

The end of the ground, where bloodstains continued for a long time, was covered with demonic energy.

“…they went to the forest.”

An ominous feeling continued to overwhelm me.

I thought it was not because I was well aware of Iriel’s ability, but my steps were infinitely faster.

Iriel’s location was identified by detecting all the signs felt in the forest.

Then, after a while, the girl he had been looking for began to appear.

The sight of Iriel sitting leaning against a tree was truly pitiful.

Blood was constantly spitting out of his mouth, and there were wounds all over his body.

The upper part of the upper arm was damaged beyond sight, but looking at the unkempt wound, it was the monster’s work.

In the future, several dead monsters caught my eye.

Ray hurriedly approached her.

“Iriel!”

When I called her name, Iriel responded.

As before, the lively answer looked at the source of the sound with eyes that were clotted with blood, unable to open well.

“Ray…”

“Wait a minute! Right now…”

Ray, who was about to speak, frowned at the strong demonic energy emanating from Iriel.

As soon as I felt it, I knew that it was not an ordinary demon.

‘It’s mixed with magic.’

It can be solved, but it will take some time to solve.

Iriel shook his head slowly, perhaps realizing his thoughts.

“In the future… not long… It will be impossible to tell…” “

….”

The words came out of her mouth, not from anyone else.

That would mean that time is running out.

She cupped Ray’s hand carefully with her hand, which had swollen blood vessels.

“Since I’ve done your favors so far… for the last time… at least for this moment… can you… listen to one of my requests… can you?”

Even talking seems difficult.

As I nodded without answering, Iriel smiled faintly.

“I have lived all my life as a saint… as a believer, but in the end I want to become a woman…” “…”

“

…Maybe I can’t live any longer. Will you accept my insignificant heart that can neither stay with me nor utter it out of my mouth…?”

As she spoke, she handed over a rugged necklace that had faded to gray.

The necklace he gave you earlier. And now it was a necklace that would be returned.

Ray took it with trembling hands.

All of a sudden, there were tears in my eyes.

Tears also flowed down Iriel’s cheeks as he gazed at it.

she said with a small breath.

“…thank you.”

Squeezing out the last of her strength and courage, she put her lips on Ray’s.

The fishy blood and her tears were reconciled to his heart and passed on to him.

Tears fell one by one on his trembling shoulders.

Along with him, a meteor shower began to fall through the dark night sky.

– In the Empire, it is said that those who share a meteor with someone will die a happy death.

These were the words Iriel had said in the past in the Duchy of Silos.

Is she really happy now?

Iriel smiled briskly with a face full of tears.

“…the rumors were true.”

“Iriel…”

She covered Ray’s mouth as he tried to say something.

“You don’t have to tell me. But… no matter what happens… even if you swear to someone else for a hundred years… don’t forget that I existed… can you promise me?”

Ray looked at her with sad eyes and nodded again.

“…I’ll promise.”

“…thank you. And… I loved her so much that even if I gave her all, I loved her… more than the goddess… more

.

Small yellow lights wrapped around Iriel.

Goddess’ prohibition.

As soon as her affection beyond divinity was conveyed through her mouth, the restrictions were activated.

When Iriel’s body was filled with beautiful lights that a meteor shower could not even see.

Her body had already disappeared there.

Bright yellow petals were in full bloom all around.

The dark night sky was already dyed with the color of Iriel.

* * *

Ray carefully put the necklace in his hand around his neck and stood up.

She took a look at the tree she was leaning on, then turned her back with a cold face.

The whole area around here was engulfed by demons.

That means that the beast is also still nearby.

Raising his spirit, he found a path that led in the thick demonic energy.

There were traces of numerous demons moving there.

The mana around him was assimilated into his emotions.

Word Spirit is the power of the will.

Since he was determined and had the intention to kill, the terrifyingly sharp air waves turned the surroundings into hell.

The trees crack open and the earth trembles.

It seems like he won’t allow anything to come around. The only place his heart passed through without being cut was the one place where Iriel stayed.

As we walked at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, an old man with a strong impression appeared on a rock in the mountains.

He wasn’t surprised at all, as if he knew he was coming.

The old man, who sensed the death of the saintess due to the disappearance of the planted magic, snorted.

“I ended up capturing both the saint and the saint.”

As he spat out a short word and gestured, an uncountable number of corpses appeared behind the old man.

A considerable amount of demons and magic circles were hidden in the corpses.

There is no laughter either.

Did you dare to play a prank like this?

His eyes sank quietly.
