The center of the denomination.

Looking at the burning place, Arina felt a feeling of joy.

“Finally… ”

It was long and long.

I sharpened my knife for 5 years.

I finally put my revenge plan into action.

For Arina, this moment felt like a dream.

When I heard the truth about my father’s death and vowed revenge, the day of revenge felt so far away that I wondered if I would ever be able to do it.

Carrying out revenge in this way gave me many complex emotions.

‘I’ll probably die when this revenge is over.’

She had her own death in mind from the moment she planned her revenge.

Even though she is a member of the Sun Clan, she has not reached the end of her realm and is still lacking a lot, so it was impossible from the beginning for her to attack this place full of strong people and live there.

There’s only one thing she wants.

Killing the prelate who killed his father.

That was the only goal.

As long as you achieve that, it doesn’t matter what happens.

When she heard of her end, she thought of Kael and Mule, who must have been very sad, but Arina bit her lip so hard that it bled, erasing the thought.

Personal thoughts had to be included.

Arina knew how much pain her decision would cause them. From the moment I planned revenge. He was no different from someone who was already dead.

Because feeling sorry now is no different from hypocrisy.

She suppressed her raging emotions and looked for her enemy.

I also heard what the priest looked like, so it wasn’t that difficult to find.

“It’s you.”

A priest looks at Arina in fear among the burning buildings.

The priest shouted as if he could not understand, unable to control his trembling body.

“Why the Sun Clan! I heard it was definitely taken care of!”

“As expected, it was you.”

Arina felt suffocating anger.

In a situation where hitting your head in plaster right now wouldn’t be enough, you’re saying something like that.

A priest who follows God.

She also felt deep skepticism when a high-ranking priest spoke like that.

Is that really a human being?

In fact, it makes you think that he might be a devil disguised as a human.

“Now I have to cut off all bad relationships.”

after that day.

I have never seen it comfortably before.

I had nightmares every day and only wanted revenge.

And now.

It is time to cut off the chain of bad relations.

Arina stretched out her hand.

Then the sun was created in her palm.

The priest shouted in horror at the power of the energy, which seemed to shrink the sun in the sky to a small size.

“Do you think you can survive this? This is the center of the denomination!”

“It doesn’t matter. Because I didn’t plan on living from the beginning anyway.”

Arina looked at the small sun created in her hand.

A power I didn’t even know existed until 5 years ago.

My happy life was destroyed by this unnecessary damn power.

So she will rest in peace with this power that ruined her life.

“Die.”

The sun leaves her hand and approaches the priest.

The priest tries to escape somehow.

It was difficult for him to move as he had just been seriously injured by the debris.

He could be cured with divine power, but he was in such a state of extreme fear that he couldn’t even think of such a simple thought.

“Please, please!”

The little sun got closer and closer to the priest who could do nothing.

The moment you almost reach it.

Someone flew in and cut down the small sun made of solar power in an instant.

‘Is it already here?’

I thought it would come already.

Still nothing changed.

I can deal with at least one person without much trouble.

The moment she made that decision and raised her strength once again.

Arina watched.

A being that suddenly appeared.

That it is the face of someone you cannot help but love.

“Ka… L… ?”

The identity of the being who appeared was Kariel, who is called a hero in the world, and who once used the pseudonym Kael.

***

Fortunately, I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that I was not late.

‘Luckily I didn’t die.’

If even one person had died due to her attack, the situation would have become irreversible. No one has died yet.

It was said that there was always a chance to turn back.

I said while looking at Arina floating in the sky.

“Arina.”

“Kael… What happened?”

She looks confused.

That’s right.

Because she doesn’t know who I really am.

The moment you take a breath and try to speak.

The high priest behind him.

The now rotten being shouted urgently.

“Yo, hero! How on earth did this happen?! Are you acquainted with that criminal?”

“Hero… ”

When she heard my identity, her eyes widened as if she was surprised.

His eyes narrowed as if he had regained his composure.

“You were a hero. I knew you were hiding your identity, but… I never thought he was a hero.”

She laughed as if it were meaningless.

It contained lament and absurdity about the current situation.

After striking the priest who was shouting something to the head and knocking him unconscious, I turned to Anna and said,

“… I didn’t hide it on purpose.”

“I guess so. No matter what your identity is, what I saw of you was not a lie.”

Anna speaks refreshingly.

Soon her eyes became sharp.

“But Kael. Let me ask you this. Did you know? About my father’s death.”

I told the truth I knew without anything to hide.

“… I also knew that Master’s death was strange. This is not someone who will end up as a bandit. But I moved forward because of what Master said. I just realized this after reading the truth written about the Sun Clan.”

“I see. But you know what, Kael? The guy behind you is the real culprit who killed my dad. Although he didn’t kill me directly, he was the one who caused my father’s death.”

“… I know.”

In the first place, if this guy wasn’t the culprit, there was no way Anna would attack her, so it was something that was expected to some extent. But maybe he didn’t like my answer?

Arina frowned.

“Then why are you blocking it? He killed my dad. You took everything from me! and… You were my father’s student… Then shouldn’t you protect him? Aren’t you angry?”

“… If that happens, it will be irreversible.”

How can I not be angry?

If it were up to me, I wanted to tear my limbs apart right away.

Nevertheless, the reason I endured it was none other than for her sake.

“If I die here, Anna. You won’t be able to live.”

prelate.

That too if you kill him in the middle of the religious order.

It was a summary disposition without any questions or questions.

But if you don’t kill it, there is still a chance to live.

Although the fact remains that they attempted to burn and kill the core of the cult.

If I somehow used my strength, I could have easily blocked or covered it.

She must not kill the priest behind me.

Because there is a possibility of survival.

I had to stop her.

Even if that action makes her resent me.

And that wasn’t the only reason.

“Master… You don’t want it.”

“… I guess so. Dad won’t want it. He will scold you not to take your revenge unnecessarily. But… Kael. Not everyone in the world can live like you ask questions. I can’t move on! So I am so jealous of you. I am so envious of you, even when someone’s death is buried in your heart and moving forward.”

Tears welled up in Arina’s eyes.

Her eyes were similar to those of a person who had been robbed of everything and became empty.

If I wanted to, I would have moved out of the way, but I couldn’t.

Even for her sake.

Even for Mule, who will wait for her quietly at home.

Even for the sake of my teacher who is no longer in this world.

I couldn’t get out of the way.

Even if it means sticking a dagger into her chest.

“… You can’t get out of the way.”

Arina laughed and cried at my answer.

“I have always had nightmares since the day my father died. And when I found out the truth, I just held on and waited for this moment. But I’m blocking this moment. Do you know what that means?”

“… ”

Honestly, I don’t know.

Her and my positions were clearly different.

We have different goals and thoughts.

Unlike me, who thinks of burying Master’s death and moving forward.

Because she dreamed of revenge.

How can I, who are so different from each other, be able to understand what she is saying?

That was a false answer.

That’s why I didn’t reply at all.

Arina looked at me like that and smiled the sad smile she saw at the cemetery again.

“It was hell for 5 years. I ran only looking at the present moment. So no matter how much you are. I can’t forgive you for stopping me.”

With those words, flames erupted around her.

However, it is different from ordinary flames.

It was the fire of the sun.

Soon the flames formed into a single sun and rose above her.

‘This is the power of the Sun Clan… ‘

It was a force that made one understand why the Demon King was so wary.

The flames, which were closer to extinction rather than burning, were enough to chill even me.

That was the moment when I too took up my fighting stance.

“Cariel!”

Illen and other paladins approached.

They immediately drew their swords as if they felt threatened by the huge sun.

“Paladin Everyone, listen carefully. What you need to do from now on is control your surroundings. Don’t ask or argue why.”

Even in my opinion, it was a bit far-fetched.

It is clearly visible that he is the one who has blatantly caused confusion in the church.

Control your surroundings.

But they are paladins.

My commands were those who listened and those who believed in me.

“… I understand.”

The paladins immediately followed my orders and went to control the surrounding area.

As soon as we drew our swords, we moved without worrying about who would go first.
