Time passes in an instant. The sunset was burning hot as if the sun was about to set.

As I walked quickly, with minimal time to eat lunch, the sound of stepping on the crunchy grass filled my ears.

I caught up with the procession led by the goddess and walked to get ahead of it.

If you start rushing in from the same position as the goddess, the people behind you will hear the sound and block you, so it would be much better to go to the front first and then ambush her.

He walked ahead, panting and breathing heavily, and set up an ambush there.

There was nothing for me to do now. All Kylon, Linda, Agnes, and Flora had to do was destroy the Pope’s body, which was possessed by the goddess standing in front of them.

So, what should I do?

There wasn’t. All I had to do was hold the weapon given to me by Kylon here and protect myself in case someone else noticed me and approached me.

However, so many weapons were given that I thought it was too much.

“Veronica has this. I’ll go and come back.”

Even though I had three weapons in my hands, including the Morning Star I bought before, a dagger, and a knife, no one tackled me.

These kids weren’t interested in me in the first place, and Kylon had the personality of being overprotective of me, so I thought this was bound to happen, and I started sweating profusely.

After letting out a groan for a moment, I let out a sigh and just sat there, hiding my shoulders and watching them leave.

I also felt something was regrettable.

Even though I knew this could be the last time, I was just sad that there was nothing I could do.

If this were the case, I would have just asked to have sex yesterday.

No, am I crazy?

I express regret unconsciously, but why does that come out?

I felt resentful of myself for leisurely thinking lewd thoughts about those who were just about to enter a combat stance.

As I was moaning, “Ugh,” Kylon glanced at me and smiled.

Then he turned his gaze to the others and spoke.

“Linda are your fists and knuckles okay?”

“Ah, yes!”

Looking at the lively Linda, it seemed like she had no worries.

“What about Agnes? If you’re not feeling well, I’ll lend you a sword to cut with.”

“Oh, then let me ask you one in advance.”

“character.”

Kylon took out a sword in advance at Agnes’ request.

No matter how thin a sword is, if it can at least perform the sword’s abilities, its weight will be lost. But the fact that he was swinging another sword while wearing it on his belt made me wonder if he was a knight.

After all, he looks thin when you look through his clothes, so he probably has some sort of compressed muscle, right? I also thought about it.

“Does Flora have enough magic power?”

“Ugh, yes. It’s okay.”

Finally, Kailon, who had taken care of Flora, stared into space as if checking his inventory.

“You took what I gave you, right?”

“Canteen? Uh, yes.”

The others also nodded in agreement with Agnes’ answer.

“I’m injured and can’t move. Drink only when you do. Because it’s a recovery agent.”

As Kailon said that, he immediately lifted the sword in his hand and sighed.

After that, he threw what was a holy sword.

“Kylon?”

Kailon shook his head in response to Linda’s question.

“Anyway, this is not a good idea when there are a lot of people. The performance doesn’t feel good because the goddess has confiscated her power.”

He took out a new sword from his inventory and held an ordinary double-edged sword in his hand.

I took out the sheath of the sword and laid it down in front of me, then just held it tightly and looked at where I was going to run straight out.

“Go first and settle down for a moment. The signal is when I run out of the forest first.”

“Okay.”

Flora nodded and tried to take the lead first.

Kailon’s opinion was that if we go out as a group, we should go out separately because the noise may be too loud and may arouse suspicion.

Everyone walked away, and Kylon looked at the holy sword and scabbard that had been dropped below me for a moment, then sighed.

“I will win and come back.”

“Yes.”

Kylon told me so.

And I nodded and answered.

“I love you.”

“Yes, I love you too. Do you have to win?”

“Okay. I will definitely win.”

Kailon smiled and approached me carefully. Then, without even mentioning anyone else, he gently kissed me on the lips, then turned and ran away.

I just followed behind him carefully.

Knowing that the Holy Sword, which had lost its meaning, was now just scrap metal, I secretly followed him.

*

Pak, pak, pak, pak.

The forest road was always rough. It was not a road for people to pass through from the beginning, and there were no traces of people passing by, so it was inevitable that the road was untamed.

Therefore, I could feel with my whole body that I had expended a lot of stamina to follow and overtake this procession.

But what if we let them miss the timing and go to the eighth village like this, and if the number of people in this procession increased, it was clear that even if they were in perfect condition, they would not be able to win after that.

Hit this goddess first.

The world wouldn’t be ruined. Even if the Pope’s body is killed right away, the goddess will not be able to immediately destroy the world.

The Demon King was next. In times like these, the more I thought about it, the more difficult it became.

I wish I could catch the goddess and return to the original world.

“… I go first. Catch up!”

Just before leaving the forest, I shouted softly to my colleague who had settled down first.

At the same time, I noticed the silhouette of a person visible between the trees and ran.

The moment my body gained speed, I immediately saw a woman with blond hair, blue eyes, and a priest’s uniform, surrounded by people from the front.

“What are you doing, you bastard!”

“Are you a thief?!”

“Pope! Hide!”

A beat later, in this chaotic space, the Pope’s eyes caught my gaze.

And at that moment, the gaze I faced was not a benevolent smile, nor was it the gaze of a bewildered person, but the vicious look that I had made to drive me away someday.

“… … Tsk.”

There was no need for conversation.

It was clear that even if we talked anyway, we would end up dispersing without benefiting anything.

I only knew that I wouldn’t get along with that person, and I didn’t know that it would end, so I just clicked my tongue and rushed forward.

The last step, and the next step, was lifted wide and kicked the person in front of him as if he was pushing down.

Quang. At the moment of the loud noise, the shocked person flew over and rolled on the ground, then turned his attention to the next person running towards him.

What they were holding in their hands was a torch to light the night.

It wasn’t on fire yet as the night had yet to set, but it was able to function as a club just by its presence.

Still, since there were blades and metal here, there was nothing to deal with.

“You son of a bitch!”

In an instant, he dodged the club that was coming towards me to hit my head, twisted his waist, and plunged his fist into my face.

I felt very resentful of my body, which briefly stumbled when I removed one hand from the heavy sword.

But what can I do? Strikes with the back of a sword only work with single-edged swords, and I lack the skill to strike them with the handle of a sword.

After knocking them both out in an instant, I quickly rolled my eyes.

As planned, Flora took charge of the middle part of the procession.

He instantly broke people’s balance with earth magic, and drew a line to prevent them from approaching with lightning magic.

Linda and Agnes were in front of him, one by one, fighting off the people who were attacking me.

From the wide-spread view, the idea was that it would be easy to cut out the middle and attack the front row, rather than hitting the person in the middle, so the idea could be seen as correct.

Wow!

The reason they did not swing the sword even though they held it was because they were innocent believers.

How do we know that God is like that? It’s impossible not to believe it just because he was resurrected right in front of me.

If the result of faith was ultimately death, I couldn’t bear to sharpen my sword and swing it because I wondered what else could be so unfair.

Yes, in the end, it’s because I’m weak-hearted.

No matter how much of a game it is, no matter how much of a character it is.

There was no way I could immediately commit murder without any hesitation even after seeing people crying and laughing in front of me.

Therefore, everyone except the goddess was dealt with by incapacitating, not killing.

As people began to fall down one by one, centering around the goddess, the goddess’s expression became increasingly crumpled.

“… These useless things.”

That was what he said to those who believed in him and followed him.

Linda and Agnes were laying people down one by one. Flora was blocking the people from the center to the rear from coming here.

So it was a one-on-one situation.

I was able to fight comfortably and without worrying about anyone’s intervention.

“See you again?”

Hearing my provocative voice, the goddess gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand.

Kiiing, the sword of light was held in her hand, and at that moment, it drew an arc towards my body at high speed.

Kang!

I swung a sharpened sword for the first time.

The vibration of the hand that was raised like a gong was painful.

I frowned, looked at her face, and checked the mood. She just used her abilities with a peaceful feeling, without any feeling of burden.

After all, is the Pope’s body more relaxed than that of a saint?

Does becoming the Pope make you bigger?

After a moment of thinking about this and that, I just pushed the sword away and continued the fight.
