“What, what is it?”

“The author is saying something irreverent again!”

“You were so proud that you lost, so now you’re talking nonsense!”

“Listen carefully! In the duel just now, didn’t both sides collapse? But judging that Eksan collapsed is a completely biased judgment!”

Naturally, the referee was the one who immediately reacted to that claim. Benedict shook his head as if he could not refute it at all, and then solemnly declared:

“According to the dueling ritual of the sacred Airgrants doctrine, if both are down, the one whose body touches the ground the most is counted. Your representative was definitely down on the ground. Saint… Milicia Airgrants, anyone could see that she was riding on his ‘back’, and the only thing touching the ground was her arms and legs. Biased judgment is an argument that leaves no room for even the slightest possibility. ”

It was a very clear argument. But Opperspelle had not been looking for a rebuttal in the first place.

“That’s not all! There are more than enough things wrong with it!”

“I, I’m such a worthless bastard!”

“Stop being stubborn, Operspelle!”

“You guys. If you don’t do it properly, you’ll get a hot taste!”

The monks and parishioners could not help but be angry at Operspiel’s endless criticism. There were more than a few who openly displayed their jealousy and looked like they would run away at any moment.

Anyone could see that it was just a nitpick. Just after making one claim, he suddenly made another claim. There was a flood of protests, and Bronkhorst’s retainers also got angry and verbally threatened the monks.

Glenn glanced at Bishop Abraham, but the bishop shook his head. It was not yet time.

“What was the movement of Militia Airgrants just now? Didn’t someone who looked weak suddenly move quickly! This is clearly because one of your monks supported you with holy magic!”

“What the heck!”

“Show me proof that we used divine magic!”

“Where in this empty lot did such traces appear!”

The results of a duel that has already ended must be respected. However, Opperspelle’s actions, which did not even adhere to such basics, seemed rude and reckless to anyone.

However, the angry monks and believers had to give up such thoughts. The vassals brought by Opperspelle and Betrog began to gradually arm themselves.

These guys, do they really come out like this?

The bishop nodded quickly to Glenn.

“Evidence and such. This is how it should be done. Everyone, politely subdue the Air Grants. And, retrieve the Militia Air Grants. And that incompetent bastard, too.”

What? Recall? Glenn felt as if some string had snapped in his mind. He had already received permission from the bishop. He could not hear the anger and shock of the monks and the congregation.

Slowly, Glenn took a step forward.

It was visible. Two people were approaching their loved ones.

The Benedictine monk stood in annoyance, but the two rascals approached with the utmost impudence, pointing their swords at the unarmed man.

Yes, that’s how it is. Glenn realized that he had come to the saint’s side. The saint was lying on the back of the water tribe, still breathing heavily. It was obvious that she was extremely tired.

The moment I passed by, I heard a voice.

“Glen?”

Yeah, I’m here. Militia.

However, Glenn did not say those words.

Before he knew it, he had passed the Benedictine monks and was now standing next to two thugs brandishing swords.

Between the two of them. Right in the middle. The two thugs just realized it now.

The Benedictine monks were also like that.

“What the heck, you… Eww!”

“Cough!”

In an instant, the two thugs were launched left and right one by one. Only then did the sound of a fist hitting their sides resonate.

The two thugs were thrown to the other end of the vacant lot, their eyes rolled back and they were passed out.

Then, silence fell over the empty space in an instant. Opershpel’s face, which had been flushed with heat due to the sudden situation, instantly turned pale.

In contrast, Betrog gritted his teeth and muttered.

“As expected… Bishop Abraham… knew we’d turn out like this.”

“Wow, what just happened?”

“Two knights…flew away at once?”

“Just now, two Royal Knights flew away? ”

“Can’t you tell even with those eyes?”

Oh, those two scoundrels were members of the Knights Templar?

Now that I glance at it, I can definitely tell that the armor and emblem are those of the Knights Templar. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, so I can barely remember it.

What the heck. I haven’t lost my senses yet. To blow these guys away in one shot? No, could it be that the Royal Knights have become that weak? Well, they weren’t that difficult before.

Glenn, who realized that he was actually strong enough to surpass his limits, let out a hollow laugh and took off his hood.

“Oh, no!”

“That bob hair…glasses?”

“Obviously, the one who was supposed to help the saintess train…!”

Well, it was natural for the church members to notice his appearance. Even if they had never seen him in person, they would have heard about him through rumors.

With that thought in mind, Glenn quietly walked forward. Towards the abominable Opershpel and Betrog.

A large number of people blocked his path. Behind him, an evil voice rang out.

It was the hateful voice of Operschuppel.

“Kill that guy! Leave the others alone, but kill that guy! Get the saint back! Quickly arrest the rest of the believers, what are you doing!”

“Don’t leave it like that, you idiot.”

Glenn said, raising his right hand.

Now, I will present to you a wondrous sight that has not been seen before people’s eyes for 1 year and 3 months.

Glenn concentrated his magic.

And those whose eyes were focused on the empty lot began to witness the true value of the red-eyed Glen.

Flames. Flames began to gather in his fist. Blazing, blazing. It was a ridiculous phenomenon that seemed impossible to fake, like magic, no, definitely magic.

The monks were shocked. So were the Bronchosts. Some of Bronchost’s vassals, the magicians, who noticed his powers, screamed.

“That, that!”

“The most difficult of all magics, body attribute enchantment! And it’s also fire!”

“I said that it was incredibly difficult to handle and learn. That young man already has that kind of strength!”

“Wow, is that really Red-Eyed Glen?”

Oh. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve received such praise. It’s a little embarrassing. Glenn, who had been thinking of a trivial fantasy, maintained the flame and thrust his fist forward.

In an instant, the enemies that had been lined up in front of me hesitated. Yes, that was natural. If you were to stand still while the flames blazing before your eyes, you would not be an ordinary person with courage. Or you would be crazy.

Okay, come at me, Glenn said, opening his fist and wiggling his hands.

However, despite the provocation, the other party showed no sign of moving. What, you’re already scared?

“Oh, oh, oh! First, catch the monk!”

“Yeah, yeah!”

Meanwhile, the other vassals of Bronkhorst were determined to attack the monks. The monks hesitated. No matter how much they practiced, their opponents were armed. It was clearly reckless to attack them with only clothes on.

Of course, it wasn’t Bishop Abraham who didn’t know that.

There were those who stood before Bronkhorst’s men, with their backs to the congregation. Like Glenn, they wore deep hoods.

One of them took off his hood, muttering as if grumbling.

“Oh my. If you scare me like that already, who would have the most achievements? Like that bad Glenn.”

“At the same time, it’s nice to see that guy back on the front lines after a long time.”

“Well, it’s better than just being engrossed in a book.”

Grimes with his greatsword slung over his back, Montaro with his proud longsword in his hand, and Briwen clenching her fists with a clanking sound.

They were the special means prepared by the bishop.

No, it wasn’t just them. Behind them, there were three more armed men with their hoods removed.

“I won’t let you get close to the church members!”

“Oh, this is so ungentlemanly. You guys, really.”

“Sa, this is your first time shooting at someone, so you can’t control it? But if you still want to get hit, then come at me!”

They were three rookie adventurers. Well, it was a bit odd to call them rookies since they had been adventurers for almost a year, but compared to the three veterans in front of them, they were no different from children. So, the three of them guarded the rear.

So the six adventurers and dozens of Bronkhorst’s retainers faced off. Glenn breathed a sigh of relief.

The reality of having to shoulder everything alone never came to me. The bishop’s foresight was excellent.

“That side is fine. Now, hurry up and attack. Okay? This magic, it’s almost the first time you’ve tasted it since you were a monster.”

“Ugh…”

“Hey, hey. What are you guys doing! It’s obvious that this is a bluff! Attack me now! Why are you struggling so much with that short-skinned brat!”

Opperspelle began to harass Glenn in a loud voice, seemingly frustrated. The underlings seemed to have some sense, but Opperspelle seemed completely blind.

Well, he had no intention of getting close to Milishia. Glenn decided to lighten the mood a little. He approached the man with the sword and shield nearest him.

“Oh, what”

“You are the first.”

Glenn’s fiery fist extended towards him. The first victim raised his shield in shock. It was useless. The flames flowed through Glenn’s fist into the man’s shield, and soon spread to the man. As if it had life, it began to move and burn on its own.

“Ugh, euaaah!”

“Oh my gosh!”

“Dude, the flame is alive!”

“What a ridiculous power!

“Monster, monster!”

“Monster?”

Glenn tilted his head at those words. No, his expression distorted. He looked toward Opperspelle, leaving the man lying on the ground, groaning in pain, but not completely burned, thanks to Glenn’s mercy, but charred and burnt here and there.

And then he let out a scream of intense anger.

“If you’re talking about monsters, you’re a beast like you who’s trying to get a pure girl who’s lost her job as a saint into your grasp. Operspelle!”

“This, this damn adventurer! I’ll kill you with my own hands!”

Finally, it exploded. Operspelle could no longer endure it. He shook off the vassals on both sides, drew his sword, and rushed at Glenn. His huge body rushed forward like a wild beast.

Ah, then I should be grateful. Glenn raised both fists. This time, he gave them a new magic. It wasn’t fire. No, he didn’t need that kind of attribute.

I was waiting. Just this moment. The moment to smash him with the power of two fists. This moment to give that guy a proper blow. And…

“Come. Bronkhorst… I’ve put the grudge of the children who died because of you into this fist! ”

“This is nooo!”

Glenn extended his fist at Opperspelle, who ran towards him screaming.

.

.

Ah, me, I.

Only then was there someone who came to his senses and was able to pull himself together. No, rather than pull himself together, it should be said that he was barely able to recognize his own situation. Still, there was a woman lying on someone’s back, unable to move an inch.

It was Militia Airgrants. She had just come to her senses, having happened to catch a glimpse of Glenn passing by.

‘That illusion… no, Glenn!’

Quickly recognizing the situation, Milishia tried to raise her body. However, she had no strength at all. The arm around Eksan’s neck was also twitching and not moving properly.

Ugh! Aah!

He was in pain all over his body. It was severe. It was because he had overworked himself. As expected, it was obvious that his body, which had been overworked, was not listening. Clearly, he had exceeded his usual limits in the duel just a moment ago.

However, the trigger for it is none other than…

“What, are you awake?”

A startled voice came from below. It was his opponent, Eksan. Have you come to your senses yet? Milicia barely opened her mouth.

“You…”

“Ah. My body is not normal. Honestly, I came to my senses, but…ugh, well, I think it’s better to just lie down like this.”

As he spoke, he moved his hand and scratched his head. For some reason, the saintess was reminded of a dog scratching its head with its hind paw.

The Suin tribe, that’s what it was. Now that I look at it, I can see Eksan’s two ears. Cute ears that remind me of a dog.

Should I touch it? No, what? Am I suddenly having strange thoughts? I need to come to my senses.

“You were amazing. Honestly, I think it was because I underestimated you, my defeat. Ha… No matter how strict the conditions were, I was too careless. This is also due to a lack of training. I’ll have to train hard when I go back. I’ll talk about when I can go back…”

“What…are…the…conditions…?”

Yes. Milicia asked something that had been bothering her for a while. It was about the awkward appearance of Eksan that had made her wonder during the battle and given her a chance.

“Axan,” he said, his voice slightly stiff, his nose blew loudly.

“Well. It’ll be fine. Just avoid your face and lower abdomen where your uterus is, and attack them. Try not to hurt your arms or legs. Honestly, I was a little scared when you defended your abdomen with your arms. I thought it might break. ”

Now that I think about it, when I got hit, it hurt a lot, but my arm didn’t break or anything. The pain in my stomach also subsided somewhat. This man was definitely someone close to a master. From the way he looked to the way he controlled his power during battle.

If I had to pick a bad luck, it would be that I had to fight a woman who had only trained for 40 days, and I couldn’t even fight properly.

“Oh my. I was really looking forward to receiving such a sweet offer after such a long time… Oh, it’s not that there’s anything wrong with you. Rather, I’m surprised. I really didn’t know you could fight so well. I felt like it would’ve been more fun if you had sent a proxy. Like that guy, for example. ”

“Ah…”

Eksan pointed somewhere with his left arm while lying down. Milishia’s gaze followed him.

Ah, I saw him. Her benefactor. Her teacher.

And, a precious person who gave her a special experience.
