122 – 4. Silence in the Helmet (End)

38.

Carl let out a rough breath and watched the scene in front of him.

From the moment the blonde swordsman cut off his body, he also noticed something strange. The demon he and the clergy were fighting over and over again disappeared and reappeared like a mirage.

Are you saying you’ve been messing with illusions so far? No, to say the least, the feeling of the spell being hit and the tension felt through the skin were definitely real. He vaguely noticed that all of this was a gigantic illusion caused by the devil.

But what does that mean? Their prayers and miracles still don’t work. Did the goddess really abandon them as he said? So, does that mean you have to let go of your hands and suck your fingers? There is no way you can tolerate it.

God is silent. All they give is a miracle. It is not their job to grant the wishes of humans. The world is full of chaos, and it is only up to the believers what kind of faith they will have in it. Carl, nonetheless, was the one who chose to believe. He is not alone, everyone here has lived by her teachings.

The anger boiling in my stomach fills up. Barely, barely because of one demon like that, her teachings couldn’t be wasted. In the name of order and justice, we have lived to defeat the chaos that stands in our way. I had to get out of this f*cking circle. I couldn’t just play around with the fool. Shortly thereafter, he witnessed a suspicious young man named Jin being pierced through his chest and killed by a demon.

He is not alone. Everyone witnessed his death. I saw clearly that those excessively large hands pierced the young man’s flesh and bone and took his heart with certainty. He was in the front row to witness as everyone who knew him contorted and a terrifying murderous breath welled up behind them.

The young man’s time has rewinded. No, it seems to be rewound. Something was bringing him back to his near-death state. The blood that had spurted out like a fountain and scattered on the floor suddenly turned dark red from the inside of his body and was slowly sucked into his chest, shaking off the devil’s hand and regenerating his flesh and bones, finally reviving his life.

A sight completely beyond comprehension. Could that also be the effect of the many ‘items’ he possesses? Carl noticed at once that it was not a simple spell. Not only the priests, but even the adventurers clearly knew that it was not a normal resurrection. There were countless people here who witnessed the scene of a person’s resurrection.

Karl, a man who devoted half of his life to worshiping God, ironically felt a certain destiny from him. A fate that even death cannot overcome. That terrible resurrection felt more like a curse than a blessing, ironically not letting death escape. Everyone present had a similar sentiment.

A fate connected to the future, that he will never die here.

Right after that, the young man pulled out his staff and swung a flame at the demon, who couldn’t hurt anyone, and the demon struggled and screamed. The scene spread like a fire of faith to everyone. The strongest enemy that regenerates infinitely has turned into an existence that hides the hope of being able to defeat it.

He was at the center of it. Carl didn’t like that. Shouldn’t those who worship the god of order be unable to deliver a decisive blow against the devil? He shouted angrily and brought the clergy together. At this moment, he became like a bishop who leads everyone, not a person who judges heresy.

“Hit!!”

Numerous miracles exploded towards the devil. A flash of light so dazzling that you can’t see properly. Having suffered an untimely blow, he was unable to regenerate infinitely in the illusion as before, and continued to suffer from wounds.

As soon as the devil lost control of the hallucinations that ruled the chapel, the knights who were fighting each other and confronting the adventurers woke up in confusion. It was already severely injured and attrition, so it was not enough power, but at least the conflict between the same believers has been lulled. Now, the power in Visiones’ hands was his body and only two cathedral knights in confusion.

The adventurers hurriedly broke through the battle line and quickly rushed out. Dozens of red adventurers, the highest peak of adventurers that the royal capital is proud of, surrounded the demons. Swords and arrows, all sorts of spells and miracles were directed at one devil, and at the moment of the clash, Visiones crouched down and stretched out his hideous body full of teeth and struggled to eat the wizard.

However, that blow did not reach. Turn up!! It was none other than the half-orc Alphonse who grabbed the demon’s open mouth and opened its yellow teeth. He had stab wounds all over his body and his blood was dripping, but his monstrous power was still exerted.

At that moment, Bigiones noticed that the strength of the cathedral knights he ruled over had run out. Lord Pasquale, who had fought continuously while being hindered from using spells by the priests, was unable to overcome Alphonse’s mighty attack.

“Wooooo!!”

He roared fearlessly. The adventurers surrounding the demon felt a thrill. While he was blocking the demon, other adventurers hurriedly attacked the gaping mouth, but the demon did not give up and made huge mouths out of his palms and tried to bite Alphonse’s shoulders.

However, that surprise attack also did not reach. The devil’s thick wrists were cut in half and dangling in an instant, pointing down at him. With her murderous gaze, the woman raised her dagger and cut off both of her hands. The swordsmanship that had reached the level of Sir Baptiste, an old man with a hundred battles, collapsed after giving up both his arms before the sword of the thief who was swallowed up by madness due to the death of a man.

The only thing left now is two legs and a torso. The demon’s dominion is also gradually lifted. A knight walked in through a gap in the open crowd holding a weapon.

“Cardinal Baolof, no, dream demon.”

【Grace…… Four years! At least something like a knight!!]

To the enormous presence of her that she was emitting, Visioness involuntarily turned her face to face. A face full of burns, with a deep cut on one cheek. However, only those transparent eyes shone more clearly than anyone else.

“When I doubted him, you told me. Slandering his silence is proof that I am an apostate. By the way, the apostate who actually climbed up and deceived and deceived everyone was you.”

【Shut up!! As long as you receive the power again, you will all obey me!!]

The devil revealed his desire until the very end.

【Human beings are weak!! Everyone wants to live in illusion! Remember, didn’t you kneel in front of me after all? Sel-Lu is the true god. If the justice and order that El-Ra speaks of exist, why doesn’t she reach out to you to save you!? I feel sorry for you guys who have unrequited faith!]

“…… As you said, the Goddess did not give me any answers. Even at this moment, he remains silent. “

Soon, a ray of light, clearer than before, penetrated the ceiling in her hand. Everyone recalled the overwhelming sight. Could the giant Warhammer make an appearance again? No, no.

The shape of the weapon in its grip was smaller and lighter than before. Did the miracle eventually run out? However…… The priests watching closely noticed. Something that glows golden, not the rough material of the past.

“However, at least those who believed in him were not wrong. My father was not wrong. It is all thanks to him that I am alive at this moment. That’s all, many people gathered here are fighting you according to his teachings. My prayers have already been reached. That is my belief…… It is faith.”

【A pun…… !! Again, again, if my prayers reach you, I’ll immerse you in your dream from four years on and never let you escape!!]

“Then let’s try.”

Grace grabbed the hammer. The hammer is not from this dimension.

A treasure that is born when a priest’s prayer reaches God and the answer takes shape.

God’s weapon, Divine Hammer.

“If your faith is truly stronger than mine, you can dodge this blow with that proud vision.”

【Guaaa!!】

Grace tightly gripped the miracle she held in her hand.

From nob le mt l dot com

No, maybe the miracle that she was given might not be like this weapon. She looked at the crowd of people supporting her behind her last moments.

Suddenly, my eyes met with a young man who had been resurrected from the dead with blood on his lips. He nodded her head, and she twisted her back.

“Divine Strike [Divine Strike].”

Immediately, a brilliant radiance covered the chapel. The hideous figure that exceeded 3 meters disappeared as if the fog had lifted, revealing an ugly monster crawling on only the upper body with both legs crushed. A small devil whose size is not much different from that of a human, but whose eyes, nose and ears are rubbed and only teeth clash.

The illusion was completely lifted. The body was surrounded by numerous priests. He crouched down, hugging his body as if trying to hide his face.

This is his real face. She received the power of an illusion goddess or something and took on the form of a gigantic demon, but in the end she was a demon the size of a human. Nothing more, nothing less, in the end, a mere mortal creature.

His prayers did not reach him in the end. Even in the eyes of God, his bowl must have ended there. Then Grace approached slowly, holding a hammer as if to put an end to it. At that time.

“Ah, ah, ah.”

“Don’t fret, Baolof.”

“No, no, I still…… aaa!!”

In an instant, the creature’s body was crushed beyond recognition, and before long, its soul soared toward the ceiling like a whirlpool, dissipating. Right after that, the dark shadow formed a single shape and began to swell in size.

I had a hunch. Something, something comes As if it was the same for Grace, who stood at the front, she hurriedly grabbed me with one hand and shouted at everyone. This posture is a bit embarrassing.

“Avoid everyone!! Something…… !”

Something is coming. Not a demon, but something higher than that. And, as expected, something took the place of Baolof’s soul, which escaped as she had said.

【Ah】

It was a body made of black slime, just like Baolof, but with a tail, wings, horns and claws…… No way.

【Mortals, you’ve done well.】

A monster in the shape of a dragon whose entire body is covered in shadow.

The shadow dragon uttered a thick voice as it clashed dozens of teeth.

“Prepare for battle!! Gather all those who can still fight!”

“Dragon…… You do all sorts of things!!”

“I’m going to die this time!!”

After Grace’s blow went through, I thought I had really killed it, but what the hell is this? I was still on her shoulder, shaking her head vigorously.

[Because I, the Goddess of Illusion Lord Sel-Lu, came by hand as his faithful servant in place of the stupid guy who tarnished his name. Everyone, bow their heads and risk their lives…… 】

“────What?”

At that moment, the dragon stopped talking, and soon a voice without tension resounded in the chapel. Everyone looked back at that sign. The dragon is right in front of you, but it has a presence that makes you subconsciously pay attention to it. What appeared was a blonde woman wearing a golden gauntlet, her curly gray hair, and a man wearing a long sword at his waist.

“I felt a huge presence, so I hurriedly came…… Isn’t the story different from what you heard? Princess Elena said she had a devil.”

“…… I don’t think it’s going to be any different.”

“Is that so?”

【…… Who are you guys?]

The dragon asked. The adventurers look at the two and become agitated. What, who are they? Gerald or Hilda is her face with her mouth wide open. In the first place, the dragon is here, so what is this strange atmosphere?

“That person, no way…… !”

As her crowd split to the right and left of her, her woman walked ahead of her man. She clenched and opened her fists with her gauntlets on, and walked as if she were taking a walk, blocking the shadow dragon’s path. Before long, she jumped up on her own and mercilessly swung her fist.

“Kumkang Nahanmyeong Seven Consecutive Strikes!!”

With a skill name that was too long to memorize at once, the dragon disappeared in an instant, and most of its huge body disappeared, returning to the shadows and scattering. I was bewildered. The power of the skill is also powerful, but where is a monk who is not a wizard and still strikes while saying the name of the skill with his own mouth.

【Keah!! … What is this…… 】

In an instant, a dragon pierced the chapel wall and flew towards the outer wall on the other side. The guy who was clearly more powerful than the Visiones lost half of his body in vain and was incapacitated. While everyone was paying attention to the absurd sight, the gray-haired man approached and walked past the woman towards her.

“Gregory, he looks like he’s playing!”

“Okay.”

As if indifferently, the man pulled the longsword from its scabbard. Everyone present knew it. A sword with no magical effect, just a slightly sturdy one. Her man rakes in the shadows and regenerates his body, holding her longsword with both hands against the charging dragon.

Suddenly. Do.

Cut.

Literally, cut.

A huge dragon, twice as large as Visiones, was split in half from the wings to the bottom of the body.

[I can’t do this, I can’t do this, to the goddess—–.]

I couldn’t even hear what he was trying to say, so I just put my head back. It feels like the blood is getting worse after hanging on for a long time.

Is it because he died and came back to life? My head doesn’t turn anymore.

Ah, I’m tired.

“Jin?”

Starting with Grace, who laid me on the floor, many voices surrounded me, but I had no more energy to answer.

Seriously, when I get home, they say I’m a high school student. Not a single word was wrong.

I want to rest now. I closed my eyes completely.

As expected, it’s dangerous outside the blanket.

When I go back, I must never come out of my room.

My consciousness was interrupted again…….
