Miracle

Why? Why aren’t people coming to save you?

Were they already discovered and ran away?

No, no. There was no sign of that.

Then there was no one from the start… Why… Why?

Ah… I was foolish, Saint.

I forgot your teachings again.

Please forgive me.

Saving you, that mission is given to me.

Thank you for giving me that glory.

Then, I will pray.

Maria threw off her robe.

The woman in the Nun’s Habit, hidden inside the robe, was revealed.

The woman with a large scar on her right eye slowly began to walk.

Surprised by her momentum, the crowd naturally cleared the way, creating a path to the execution platform.

“She’s an escapee!”

A Holy Knight shouted.

“She’s a criminal, execute her on the spot!”

The Holy Knight Captain on the execution platform shouted.

Everyone grabbed their weapons and rushed towards Maria.

Maria slowly headed to the execution platform.

Someone’s sword pierced her stomach. Blood gushed from her abdomen.

Maria’s movement towards the execution platform stopped for a moment.

But only for a moment.

Maria, after confirming what had stabbed her stomach, grabbed the weapon and pulled it out.

The stabbed spot was clean.

“H… Huh?”

The Holy Knight, whose legs gave way at the shocking sight, collapsed to the ground.

Another Holy Knight stabbed her back with a spear.

The end of the long spear passed through her body and touched the ground, and Maria’s mouth filled with blood.

But only for a moment.

Maria raised her arm and struck down on the spear shaft, and the spear broke.

The stabbed spot was clean.

“What is this!”

The Holy Knight, who was holding the broken spear, muttered in disbelief.

Spears, swords, and arrows fell on her.

Even as her body was being cut, stabbed, and slashed, she did not stop heading to the execution platform.

A gruesome sight of blood and flesh splattering was created, but as if nothing had happened, Maria’s body was clean again.

As she headed to the execution platform, she continued to offer prayers to someone.

One step, one step.

Maria went to the Saint.

“What are you doing!!”

At the Holy Knight Captain’s roar on the execution platform, the Holy Knights, who were slowly moving away from Maria, snapped to their senses.

They grabbed their weapons again and tried to rush at Maria.

Thump, Maria, who was heading to the execution platform, stomped her foot hard.

With a loud noise, the ground shook, and the people standing in the square lost their balance and fell.

“S… Saniso…. The miracle of Saniso….”

It was a word that popped out from the crowd.

The spread of the word was faster than expected, and the murmurs of the crowd, who had fallen to the ground as if prostrating, grew louder.

“It’s Saniso!! Saniso has manifested!!!”

Saint Saniso, who single-handedly beheaded three hundred people.

The square became noisy at the sight of what looked like his reincarnation.

“Look at that body. There isn’t a single wound! That’s the miracle of Elnea!!”

Saint Elnea, who spent a week in a burning fire to prove her faith.

People who had seen the miracles from the Bible with their own eyes whispered.

While people were reciting the miracles of the Bible, Maria arrived at the execution platform.

“Y-You!”

The Holy Knight Captain rushed at Maria, who was looking up at him, and swung his sword down.

But his sword never reached Maria.

Maria’s palm grabbed his face and slammed him into the floor of the execution platform.

“Kuhuk!!”

The Holy Knight Captain screamed as the back of his head hit the wooden floor.

His vision was dark, because Maria’s hand was still on his face.

“Criminal, do you know your sin?”

At Maria’s question, the Holy Knight Captain struggled.

Like a bug crushed by a finger, he couldn’t move even an inch despite his desperate struggles.

At that irreverent movement, Maria’s grip tightened.

“Kk… A… Ack….”

The pressure on his face, the sensation of bones twisting and breaking, made him forget his dignity and scream.

His screams didn’t last long.

-Crack

With the sound of bones dislocating, his face became a mess.

Maria shook off her hand and stood up.

Blood and secretions scattered into the air.

At the Holy Knight Captain’s gruesome end, all the members of the Order who remained on the execution platform ran away.

Maria didn’t bother chasing them. What the Saint had instructed her was something else.

She reached out her hand to the Saint’s face that had fallen to the floor.

Carefully and with affection, she slowly lifted the face.

Hugging the face, which was peacefully closed eyes, to her chest, Maria smiled in relief.

She turned her body to the square.

The members of the Order who had not yet escaped, and the onlookers who had come to watch the execution, were prostrating in the square.

“Blind ones who cannot believe without seeing.”

Maria shouted as if rebuking.

“Repent your sins.”

“When that day comes, I will come to judge you. So repent.”

After speaking, Maria slowly came down from the execution platform.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she slowly left the square.

There was no one who could catch her.
