Archbishop Porsipia left the saint’s room.

She went straight to Archbishop Albert.

Archbishop Porsipia soon arrived at Archbishop Albert’s office. Without asking for any understanding, I opened the door to the office.

And he shouted in front of Archbishop Albert.

“I clearly warned you. Don’t touch the saint anymore.”

“You’re trying to catch a live person again. why… This time, are you trying to say that the Black Knight spread Count Luver’s illness?”

Archbishop Albert responded immediately, as if he knew what Archbishop Porsipia wanted to say.

Archbishop Porsipia was speechless at this. I gathered my thoughts again and spoke.

“… That’s not a black knight. but… It is said that Count Ruber met a woman before he fell ill. And that too often.”

“Aha… , Are you sure you want to say that that woman is also my subordinate?”

Archbishop Porsipia nodded quietly. I couldn’t figure out my affiliation at all. As if someone hid the truth.

Archbishop Albert let out a bitter laugh.

“Hahaha, really. You also have to tolerate delusions in moderation. Isn’t it because you’re getting older or something like senility? Now, I think he will slowly step back from the front line.”

It was an aggressive remark.

Archbishop Porsipia was taken aback for a moment by the rudeness he had never seen before. I soon came to my senses.

I once again urged Archbishop Albert.

“Be careful what you say. Now you’re planning to turn me into an enemy. And the reason I came this time was to declare war.”

“The enemy… Well, they’re trying to punish an innocent person like this, but I can’t just tolerate it. And you mean a declaration of war?”

“Yes. I’m here to declare war. You won’t be able to run wild anymore.”

“That’s scary. Do you plan to at least call the seniors in the back room and gather them together?”

“You should try everything you can.”

The two glared at each other.

Now the confrontation between the two is certain. Although there was a faint smile on each other’s faces, there was a bloody atmosphere in the air.

Archbishop Porsipia said.

“Now that I think about it, I am a paladin who teaches the warrior. That person was also your limb. Although my origins are ordinary… It was clear.”

“… Are you talking about Uliver? Well, are you really criticizing me just because I recommended it? I just recognized that his skills are outstanding.”

It was a sly attitude.

When Archbishop Porsipia saw Archbishop Albert like that, blood vessels appeared on his temples. I felt like I couldn’t control my anger.

All I wanted to do was try something right now.

I wanted to take off the mask hiding behind that sly attitude.

“Now, not only a saint, but a warrior… ! you… Are you really a priest who serves God?”

First was Archbishop Porsipia, who could barely control his anger.

And then she turned away with angry steps and walked away. Looking at Archbishop Porsipia leaving, Archbishop Albert muttered quietly.

“Hands on the warrior… I guess it’s necessary… ? I don’t pay attention to beings who are going to die anyway.”

last year.

In order to achieve the conditions set by Master Erikson, I devoted myself more to training than ever before.

but-.

There were no results.

Beyond the upper level, the highest level was like a solid wall. No matter how many times you try to knock on the wall, it looks like it has no intention of breaking.

Actually, I took Master Erikson’s advice to heart.

So stay calm.

I let go of my impatience and focused on training. But as time went by, my impatience grew. I know why.

A very faint hope that there is something to protect.

That hope made me increasingly impatient.

In the end, I decided. Although it was a somewhat unreasonable decision.

“… okay. Let’s collide once.”

The current level is upper level.

Even at advanced level, it would be enough to catch an ogre.

That’s what I thought.

At that time, the teacher was also going out.

The timing really worked out well.

I picked up my spear, grabbed some snacks, and headed to where the ogre would be.

Ogre.

Befitting its nickname, the Lord of the Forest, it was a monster that created its own territory in the forest. Therefore, it is a being that you will never encounter unless you invade its territory.

I walked along the forest path.

It was still far from its territory.

‘Surely Master Erikson… ‘

Southeast from the cabin.

They said that if you go up the valley, you can see it.

The sun was still up, but I felt the need to hurry a bit. The sun sets quickly in the mountains, and it gets dark in an instant.

First, I walked quickly in places where there was no threat.

Surrounding you are the sound of grass rustling, the sound of river water flowing, and the cries of animals. Several sounds rang out as one.

however-.

When I came to my senses, the animal’s cries had disappeared. To be precise, it was audible from far away, but not at all nearby.

I realized it right away.

That I have reached the bastard’s territory.

I stopped going up the valley and went into the forest.

I was tense and alert to my surroundings.

I reduced the sound as much as possible and walked away.

and-.

There was a sound like something was crunching and eating something obscenely. It’s like the sound of tearing off raw flesh and chewing it.

It was definitely him.

I headed in the direction of the sound.

And the source of that sound.

It was at the bottom of the hill.

down the hill.

There, a large, green-skinned monster that appeared to be just over 3 meters tall was eating a deer.

With a lot of blood on his mouth.

Protruding lower molars and muscular body.

Maybe it was because he wasn’t wearing any clothes, but he looked ugly.

and-.

There is an unbearable odor.

Even though it was quite far away, I felt terrible.

I took a deep breath.

And mana was loaded onto the tip of the spear.

One room.

In order to finish it once, I decided to do my best.

That’s why it’s an ogre that knows nothing and eats deer. I jumped down the hill and stabbed the spear into the top of the guy’s head.

however-.

Before the window even reached me.

I saw the ogre’s gaze focused on me. As if he had noticed my presence. He naturally dodged my attack.

And that’s just by slightly stretching your body.

The ogre that dodged the spear roared.

Perhaps he was upset because his meal time had been interrupted.

As soon as I landed, I stabbed the spear straight at the ogre.

Ogre’s heart.

I aimed for the left chest.

but-.

The tip of the spear seemed to have pierced the skin, but it was pale. It was indeed tough ogre skin leather. Is that all?

Instead, the tip of the spear broke.

The moment it broke, I jumped backwards.

Where I was.

On the spot, Ouga swung his fist.

Arms almost as big as my body.

The ogre’s punch was strong enough to dent the floor where I was.

Probably just one hit is enough to kill you.

I looked at the broken window pole and sighed.

“… They say you can’t cut an ogre’s skin with mana.”

It was true.

In fact, I said everything because the spear was broken when I hit it.

At least an Auror.

It was clear that even if it was an unfinished aura, it was something that could be captured only if it could be used.

“Kuuu.”

The ogre strode towards me. A look full of leisure. It seems he knows that my attack won’t work.

I can’t help but sigh.

It wasn’t called the king of the forest for nothing. When I actually found myself in this situation, I felt so much regret.

still-.

It wasn’t that there was no way. The broken spear was quite sharp. And although it is fatal for ogres, doesn’t it have weak points?

Right in the eyes.

It might be really difficult to match, but it was still worth a try. Since I trained with a focus on stabbing, aiming for a small target is not difficult.

“Now, let’s do it.”

An ogre slowly approaching me.

I ran towards the ogre with my body low. I swept the dirt off the floor with one hand.

And the moment I got closer to the ogre.

I threw dirt at the ogre’s eyes.

“Kuuu!!”

An ogre that looks very angry because it has dirt in its eyes.

I took advantage of that opportunity and caught up to the ogre.

The ogre seemed quite embarrassed, but immediately came to its senses and tried to turn its back.

At that time, I wrapped mana around my legs. And then I ran upward with all my might.

The tall head of the ogre met my gaze. Because I had just turned, there was nothing blocking my eyes.

I immediately stabbed the spear into the ogre’s eyes.

The ogre also failed to react to this.

Fuuk-.

The sound of digging into something fragile.

But I couldn’t go deep.

This was because the ogre caught the spear along the way.

despair.

I felt like I had that feeling. I also felt regret.

I should have followed what my teacher said.

Is it because I’m nervous?

I couldn’t let go of the window. No, it seemed like I was scared rather than nervous.

The angry ogre writhed in pain and swung its fist at me. And the fist hit my body exactly.

‘I mustn’t lose my mind!’

I was knocked out by the ogre’s attack.

And then I felt complete pain. Really, it hurt like crazy.

While I was bouncing around like that.

I felt a strange sense of déjà vu. At the same time, my eyes turned to the floor.

It was a cliff.

That’s pretty high too.

I can’t help but sigh.

Why is there a cliff in a place like this?

And then I realized.

The identity of this strange sense of déjà vu.

‘me… I guess this isn’t the first time I’ve fallen like this.’

It wasn’t the first time. Falling off a cliff like this.

Maybe I fell off a cliff before I lost my memory.

When I realized that fact, I couldn’t help but laugh and fall off the cliff.

Then, I made eye contact with the ogre who hurriedly followed me. It felt like he was regretting not being able to finish it with his own hands.

I urgently shouted at the ogre.

“If I come back alive, I will definitely kill you.”

plural.

If I were to survive this cliff again, it seemed like there would be someone I would have to take revenge on again.

So I-.

I fell straight down the cliff.
