I, who did not belong to any religion and did not even have a contract with God, was able to use divine power.

It was a pure white sphere of energy fluttering in the palm of my hand, the clear light of Praana, the goddess of light.

I was perplexed as to why the light of Praana was coming out of my body, but I had an idea.

From sleeping with Alaina to his teacher’s meaningful remarks.

Anyone who saw it could not help but see that he had gained divine power by mixing his body with the holy sword.

However, I am not sure how Alaina’s divine power flowed into my body.

“Surely just because I absorbed some of the divine power, it didn’t turn into an ordinary sword?”

As I looked at the silent Holy Sword without saying anything, I felt a little uneasy.

If you have absorbed divine power to the point that you have lost your sense of self, it will lead to a troublesome situation.

Isn’t it possible to explain to the priests, ‘I hit the rice cake and the holy sword lost its power?’

Moreover, although Alaina had announced widely that I was a hero, there was no formal ceremony.

If it were known that he mixed himself with the holy sword in that state, I think there would be a more intense pursuit than before.

I wish someone would come along and tell me that it had just gone dormant.

“Woo! I was working hard just a moment ago, but someone is sleeping peacefully!”

“Huh? Are you talking to me?”

“The only person sleeping at this moment is this guy, so what are you talking about?”

Stella pointed at Alaina, who was hanging on my waist, and pouted her mouth.

It was a coincidence, but Stella relieved my worries.

Thanks to this, I feel like I can take a breather and focus on other problems.

“It’s because I used up a lot of energy the day before. Please understand.”

“Then there is nothing we can do. Come to think of it, owner, since when did you decide to believe in God?”

“I never believed it.”

“If you don’t believe in it, how can you have divine power? Isn’t this a power that only those who believe in God can have?

“That’s right, but I don’t know what’s going on, so it’s a bit complicated.”

It was nice to have, but it wasn’t the power I was hoping for.

Rather, I felt strange because it felt like something was wrong with my body.

Still, I am confident that this power will definitely be helpful in the future.

“I have divine power, so I don’t need a holy sword anymore, right?”

“That’s not necessarily true. Compared to Alayna’s divine power, my divine power is only at the level of mana. What I can do with my divine power is that I don’t have to heal scratches or tear the undead body to shreds.”

In fact, it rarely hurts my body, and it’s nice that I no longer have to go through complicated procedures to kill lichs.

It was indeed simple, but the original divine power was destined to shine only through tactics, not individuals.

In the past, there was a legend that a great pope sacrificed his life and all his divine power to turn ordinary people into God’s army.

It was recorded that he did not suffer a single wound even when struck with a blade, had strength comparable to that of an ogre, and with his hawk-like eyes and strong leg strength, he chased down and subdued an enemy 10 li away in just one minute.

Of course, even without sacrificing the Pope as in legend, a powerful army can be created just by lowering the number of people blessed or the effectiveness.

Even though the territory occupied by a castle is small, there is a reason why it was not invaded by foreign powers.

“Anyway, there will be times in the future when I need help from Alaina when I need strategy, and moreover, I need a teacher who can help me skillfully use divine power, so I can’t say I don’t need the holy sword.”

“After hearing it, the value of the holy sword seems higher than I thought.”

“So, just because I gained divine power, it’s not something I’m happy enough to make a fuss about.”

If you improve your proficiency in using sacred power under Alaina’s guidance, the benefits will increase even more.

If his divine power fully blossoms, he may be able to become an immortal human weapon like the warriors of the beginning.

“Sojeo, is it still far from the end of the conversation with your benefactor?”

“Ah, that’s right! Owner! As instructed, I also brought the head of the Hui family, the So family head, and the people under his command!”

“Yes, you had a hard time.”

After patting Stella on the head for a job well done, I passed her and approached Hwi Chang-woon.

When he faced me, he immediately tried to get down on one knee, so I frowned and stopped him.

“Zi, calm down! I didn’t mean to harm you, I just wanted to express my gratitude and be polite.”

“Because I don’t really prefer being treated that way.”

“Ah, I understand! We will try to accommodate your wishes.”

“Okay, then let me quickly explain the situation.”

I explained everything that happened in this land where the Sen family was located.

Hwi Chang-woon, who heard my story, looked like he couldn’t believe it, but kept his mouth shut.

Of course, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to believe it.

Who would believe me if I told you that a duel between just two people, not even a war, led to the current result?

However, my teacher and I are beings for whom the established common sense of the world does not apply.

It may be a sparring to evaluate pure swordsmanship, but if you do it with sincerity, it is not strange at all even if not only the village but also the entire mountain is cut down.

“You can’t believe it, right?”

“To be honest, yes. I could never have imagined that a shaman so famous that it would be recorded in history would disappear overnight. However, when the once magnificent land of the Sen family turned into a wilderness, it was impossible not to believe it.”

“It is land without an owner, so you can take it if you need it. However, all the gold and silver treasures held by the Sen family have been destroyed, so even if you dig the ground, there will be nothing.”

“I will politely decline. How can you live with something bigger if you can’t even take care of the precious people who came into your arms?”

Hwi Changwoon shook his head with a bitter smile.

He seems to have become discouraged by the fact that he was unable to properly protect Mrs. Song and the children.

A wise Mrs. Song would not have told him that they were on the verge of death.

As a wife, it may have been a decision to build up her husband’s spirit, but as a man, it was a bad decision.

Only when you realize your shortcomings and overcome despair can the same thing not happen again.

So, I informed Stella of all the missing parts in Mrs. Song’s letter.

“This is a wise decision.”

Now that the Sen family has disappeared, what the Hui family needs is not to expand their power, but to strengthen their internal stability.

Mrs. Song’s incident was most likely caused by a traitor who was in secret with another family.

Since the inside is so festering that there are people who have leaked the information, that problem must be resolved first.

If they don’t correct the mistake, a second Sen family will appear and harass them again.

“Anyway, as you can see, the Sen family has disappeared, so there will be no forces threatening the Hui family for the time being. It would be okay if you took Madam Song back.”

“Great cooperation! Thank you so much for helping our Hui family! As the next head of the Hwi family and the father of two children, I will definitely repay this favor!”

The soldiers who followed Hwi Chang-woon began to mutter.

Executives of the Hui family thoroughly concealed the relationship between Hui Chang-un and Lady Song.

There is no way to publicly reveal that the head of the household fell in love with a maid and had a child with her.

Nevertheless, Hwi Chang-woon revealed the secret that the Hwi family had kept secret in a public setting like the present.

“Quiet! Don’t act bustling in front of our family’s benefactor!”

Hwi Chang-un scolded the soldiers and corrected their discipline to show respect to me.

This indirectly revealed to me that he had the power to calm the commotion right away.

“Are you okay? It won’t be an easy road.”

“Bio already prepared. Even if he falls like the Sen family, Soin will never regret his current choice.”

“I understand. There is no need to argue with a leader who has made up his mind.”

The news of his union with Lady Song will not only receive backlash from executives, but will also receive numerous criticisms from other families.

Since he said he would take on all such problems, he must have taken care of it.

I just do what I have to do and that’s it.

“You said earlier that you would repay the favor for this incident, right?”

“Of course! If there is anything you wish for, the Hwi family will fully support you”

“Then, please build just one house on this land.”

“Hmm? Are you really planning to rebuild the Sen family?”

“It can’t be. A thatched-roof house is fine, so I hope they build just one small building.”

“If you need lodging, how about building it about 20 ri away from here? The heroes of the Sen family are buried in this land. I’m worried that their vengeful spirit may harm the Great Society that caused the downfall of the Sen family… … .”

“It’s okay, that’s what we’re aiming for. I hope you spread the word that the person who destroyed the Sen family is building a house here and living here.”

The collusion between the Sen family and the Demon family could not be confirmed.

Therefore, I plan to use myself as bait to catch several people.

Hibana, demons, Black Death, other families, and the spirits of the Sen family, etc.

There were a lot of people brought into this place.
