Special Order: Find Miri!! (3)

What came down from the top of the stairs to the knights suffering from the brainwashing drug was a white ring.

The bullets thrown by Sentress rolled down the stairs at high speed and landed exactly at the feet of about 30 knights.

When the sound of something rolling and rolling along with an urgent voice was heard from under their feet, the guards looked at Danhwan who had fallen at their feet while gritting their teeth in pain as if their heads would break.

“This is…?”

“It’s an antidote developed by Her Highness Diane!! Swallow it quickly!!”

As soon as he went down to the basement, Sentress’s sensitive senses sensed the energy of the brainwashing drug wafting out, and he quickly ran outside and asked for help from the imperial palace guards who were surrounding the temple.

Unlike the Royal Guard Knights who went straight to the temple with Juno, the Imperial Palace Guard, who rushed with minimal preparation, even had the antidote that Diane had created, so Count Myer, who was in charge of the garrison, gave half of the antidote he had to Sentress. It was given.

“Hurry!! It is said to be effective if taken as soon as possible!!”

Viscount Amin and the knights of the Royal Guard who picked up the sweet pills hesitated for a moment at the strange smell emanating from the sweet pills, but thinking that this was a different story, they put the sweet pills sprinkled by Sentress in their mouths and swallowed them down.

Shhh!!

As soon as they swallowed the pungent-smelling Danhwan, the Knights of the Guard felt a refreshing sensation as if a refreshing wind was sweeping their bodies from within, and closed their eyes.

Then, a thick pink mist spewed out from their bodies, purifying all the energy of the brainwashing drug that had been eating away at the knights’ bodies and minds, and after a while, the knights opened their eyes again, regaining their sparkling light.

“Huuu~ The taste and smell are incredibly bad, but… the detoxification effect is so strong that it feels like it has burned off all the impurities remaining in the body… It’s better than any elixir I’ve ever taken! After things are settled, I will definitely have to say thank you to Her Royal Highness Princess Diane!!”

As Viscount Amin and the knights of the Royal Guard were inspecting the body, impressed by the tremendous effect of the single ring, Sentress shouted from behind.

“You can say that later!! We have to go quickly and find the saint!!”

Sentress swallowed a pill and went down the stairs and helped Viscount Amin up.

“I understand. Kid!! Knights of the Guard! Divide into groups of 5 and search for the saint!! When you spot a saint, avoid engaging in combat and blow the whistle to call me!!”

“I will follow the vice-captain’s orders!!”

After giving orders to his knights, Viscount Amin looked at the Sentress who had raised him up with admiration.

“Kid. Thanks for the advice. It is certainly worthy of His Majesty the Emperor entrusting him with such a secret mission. You take this whistle. If you ever need my help, just blow hard”

“Yes, I understand. Mr. Knight!”

Compared to before, the person had clearly changed, and Viscount Amin accepted it when it was judged to be right, even though it was an order from a commoner.

After receiving a whistle from the Sentress, Viscount Amin quickly ran away, and the guards quickly dispersed and searched the wide basement.

While the knights were looking for the saint, Sentress entered the penance room and was looking for the oak barrel where Miri was contained.

“That’s right! It was the barrel in that location!!”

Sentress used the crowbar lying in the corner to open the lid and look inside, but inside was a body that looked like it had been melted for quite some time, making Sentress gag.

“Wooweee!! Damn it… that skeleton… that’s definitely not Miri, right?”

Although the Sentress was so angry that she personally plucked out Heinrich’s eyeballs, she actually saw the corpse only a few times, and the condition of the corpse, with all the melted flesh dangling from it, was so terrible that the Sentress had to keep vomiting.

“Wow!! Well, we can’t just keep doing this… If Miri was murdered, we need to find the body at least!! That’s the request I received from Yuno…”

As if to somehow make Yuno’s wish come true, Sentress tightened her legs and stood up to look into the barrel.

“This is not Miri… The color of the remaining hair is black!!”

Sentress was relieved that the body was not Miri and began smashing the oak barrel with the crowbar he was holding.

‘I do not have time! If you open each oak barrel… you never know when Miri will end up like that! Then I won’t have the honor to look at Yuno-hyung!!’

Quang! Kwaang!!

Sentress’s arm, which was swinging the crowbar at the oak barrel, was filled with unprecedented power of unknown origin, and each time the arm was swung, the oak barrel shattered in an instant.

“Not this either!! This isn’t it either!!!”

The Sentress had already destroyed all the oak barrels placed on the magic circle, but there was not a single green hair visible on the corpses inside.

“Uh, what happened? It’s definitely supposed to be here… I heard the Archangel of Destruction clearly absorbs Miri’s power…”

However, even when Sentress rubbed her eyes, there were no longer any oak barrels left in the room, so Sentress tried to search for Miri in another room.

at that time…

fluttering~

A familiar butterfly caught Sentress’s eye.

‘uh? ‘Is that butterfly…?’

The butterfly fluttered its wings and flew around the room inside the penance room, landed in the center of the magic circle, and soon disappeared without a trace.

‘Did I see something wrong? No… this is a rescue signal sent to me by Miri!! Miri is in this room!!’

However, since there was still nothing in the room, Sentress closed her eyes for a moment and heightened her entire body’s senses to the limit.

‘I’m going to feel it… Just like Centuria has sensitive senses… I’m going to try it… Just like when I felt the energy of the Archangel of Destruction… I’m going to feel Miri’s energy!!’

Suddenly, Sentress’ ears could not hear anything as all the surrounding noise was blocked, and Sentress’s senses, which had become extremely sensitive, were searching for Miri’s energy.

‘No… not this either… not this powerful energy… the energy I was looking for… was an extremely clear and pure energy that helped me escape from here… an energy that seemed to symbolize nature… .. That’s right!! Like this energy!!!’

As soon as his eyes, which had been closed for a long time, opened, Sentress began to dig up the brick floor of the penance room with the crowbar that was lying next to him.

‘It’s down here!! Miri must be under this floor right now!!’

When all the bricks were exposed, a sandy bottom was visible.

As Sentress scooped out the sand with her hands, the wooden lid was really visible, and her eyes filled with joy.

“I found it!! Miri is in here…!! Please wait!! I’ll get it out to you right away!!”

When the lid was opened with a crowbar, bright green hair was revealed and Miri’s body was visible.

“Thank goodness!! Miri hasn’t melted yet!!”

Inside the oak barrel, a peculiar smell of brainwashing fluid wafted out, but Sentress, as if he believed in the antidote he had taken, put his hand in and pulled out Miri’s body without hesitation.

“Miri!! Come to your senses!!”

However, Miri’s breathing seemed to have stopped and her body was completely frozen, and Sentress tried to wake Miri up by slapping her cheek.

“Ah, no… am I late… no… you shouldn’t give up just yet!! Yuno-hyung also doesn’t give up and is fighting outside!! You can’t die!! Miri!! Yuno-hyung, who you were looking for, has come to save Miri!! Miri!!”

The moment the word Yuno came out of her mouth, Sentress felt Miri’s energy react, even if only slightly.

Sentress then instinctively took out an antidote pill from the pouch on her waist and put it into Miri’s mouth, and the pill dissolved like water and was absorbed into Miri’s body.

And a miracle happened.

“Cluck, crunch, crunch!! Really… he’s a very laborious kid. Still, I really appreciate it. Thanks to you, I was able to meet you again. I will definitely repay this favor”

“Miri!!”

Miri’s body was completely covered in blood, as if she had been assaulted many times before entering the barrel, and her body was emaciated due to starvation without any nutrition during her confinement, but the Sentress seemed to be very grateful that she had come back to life and went into Miri’s arms. threw myself away

“Cluck cluck!! Oh my… you guy! What are you doing to someone who just died and came back to life?… kekekekekeut”

No matter what she said, Miri patted Sentress’s back and praised him with moved eyes as if she was truly grateful.

But after a while, her eyes opened wide as if she had discovered something, and Miri grabbed Sentress’s body and tried to raise her up.

“Oops… I don’t think it’s over yet, so get up quickly!! Come on!!”

“Yes? What is that…. Huh!!”

At Miri’s words, Sentress turned her head and found the saint looking at them in front of the inner door of the penitence room.
