[One paladin has completely disappeared.]

I couldn’t help but wonder what she said.

“What?”

[One paladin has disappeared.]

Lena answered again.

I asked him again.

“Are you sure?”

Lena doesn’t call unless she’s sure.

Even though I knew this, her words were so hard to believe that I had no choice but to ask.

That’s because it’s impossible for a single Paladin to completely disappear.

Although I may say this, they are people who live with a sense of duty to assist me and serve me.

Therefore, even though they are scattered, they report what they are doing and where they are.

Otherwise, you can train within the sect.

‘Until now, the Paladins have never skipped it.’

The reporting interval is 14 days.

The report goes to Ilen.

Originally, it was normal for me to do the work, but since I was away often, it was normal for Illen to report on my behalf and report any problems.

‘I haven’t had a single problem, except when I dismantled the Paladins’ authority myself.’

Even when I disbanded the Paladins’ convening authority, they were thorough enough to report to Illen.

However, it was hard to believe even Lena’s words when she said that one person had completely disappeared.

[I’m sure. Ilen told me directly. There was no report for a month. He said he went to the place he used to frequent and checked, but found no trace.]

“… There definitely seems to be a problem.”

This was not a matter to be passed over in vain.

It was a problem I wanted to check right away…

‘The problem is that I have a promise with Lewen.’

If you tell me this situation, Llewen will definitely understand. Because she is that kind of person.

But that didn’t stop me from feeling at ease right now, and I didn’t like making her wait.

‘Anyway, there are many people you can find besides me.’

First, I wanted to leave it to Lena and others.

“Lena. I can’t go right now. I think it will take at least a week. So, tell them to find it with the other paladins.”

[all right.]

After that conversation, contact was lost.

Even before the lingering thoughts of the sudden situation disappear, Llewen comes to mind.

‘I guess I’m still trying to think.’

It wasn’t like this, but in the past, she often left alone like this when she wanted to think about something.

He usually came back in an hour, but seeing as he still hasn’t come back after more than two hours, he seemed to be thinking a lot about it.

‘I guess so.’

Other things are relatively ordinary, nothing special, but since this wasn’t the case, I had a lot to think about.

So, it is understandable that it takes a long time, whether it is 2 hours or 3 hours.

For some reason, a part of my heart remained anxious.

Is it because there are so many things that have happened to me?

I keep wondering if something has happened.

Even though this is obviously a place where something like that couldn’t happen, I inadvertently had that thought.

‘Let’s not worry.’

Even if something happened here, what else could happen?

I waited, thinking it was no reason to worry.

“… ha… ”

However, as I continued to worry, I used my divine power to find her location.

I thought she was around here, but I soon found out that she was in a village, so I couldn’t help but be quite embarrassed.

‘Going down to the village?’

It was quite strange to say that I went down to the village simply to spend some time thinking.

That was when my doubts grew even greater.

My mild anxiety amplifies like crazy.

Without thinking any more, I quickly got off the ground and headed towards the place where she would be.

***

Lewen quickly arrived at the village.

The sight I saw as soon as I arrived at the village was literally mind-boggling.

Countless people were screaming and running away.

And at the center.

Kkkk!

I saw a monster spreading magical energy and eating people.

The magical power it possessed was too strong to be simply called a monster or monster, and the pressure was strong.

Although its appearance was that of a simple centipede, its majesty was such that it could be called a mythical monster written only in ancient records.

Keekeeek!

A monster is out to eat people.

Looking at such a monster, Saint Lewen walked forward with cold eyes.

Every time Rwen’s steps hit the ground, a wave of divine power spreads out.

The wounds of those who were injured were healed, and those who were dying also regained their original state.

It was as if a miracle from God had taken place.

While many people were distracted by Llewen’s appearance.

The monster’s gaze turned to Llewen.

Kkkk!

The monster lets out a roar.

A more deadly force than ever before flowed from the monster.

This was because he realized that the woman who suddenly appeared was the saint mentioned by the being who had awakened him.

Those who heard her cry all cried out in pain and coughed up blood, but the flower of light she bloomed immediately protected them.

Sigh!

The monster rushed at Llewen, who had miraculously revived its prey.

The long body of a centipede sweeps the ground.

The moment he was about to pounce on Llewen to chew it up while hearing a very painful scream.

Light surged around Llewen once again.

The rising lights became a shield to protect Lewen and stood in front of her.

Keekeeek!

Quang!

The monster hit the shield made of divinity.

The shield made of divinity was shaken, but it remained firmly in place despite the monster’s attacks.

On the contrary, the monster was shaking its face back and forth due to the shock of hitting the shield, and was unable to come to its senses.

Lewen did not miss this and immediately activated her power.

Ugh!

A divine magic circle unfolds above her sky.

The divine magic circle that unfolded in an instant lost its shape and turned into huge weapons.

Everything that could be called a weapon, including spears, swords, daggers, batons, etc., were wrapped in divinity and emitting light.

Soon, hundreds of weapons wrapped in divine power poured towards the monster. The sight of hundreds of weapons pouring down from the sky like rain was very scary, but perhaps because it was surrounded by divine power, it was a beautiful sight.

Based on the momentum alone, it seemed like it would pierce all of the centipede’s bodies, but all the weapons bounced off easily.

‘It looks like something is wrapped around it.’

The weapons that struck the monster contained her maximum output of divine power.

The strength of Llewen’s weapon with its maximum power is so powerful that it once penetrated a church barrier that had not been breached even once for thousands of years.

However, seeing as it bounced off without causing even a single wound, one had to assume that there was something special about the monster’s skin rather than just hard skin.

‘Then go for something else.’

Lewen immediately finished making her decision and stretched out her hand to the sky. The divine power gathered in her hands shot into the sky.

The divine power that Llewen shot landed in the sky and created a circle. Looking at the circle, Llewen quietly shouted.

“Pillar of Light.”

Quaaa!

The round circle created with Rwen’s cry poured out divinity.

The divine power poured out was directly pierced into the monster’s body.

Keekeeek!

It took the shape of a pillar of light, just as the name Lewen had uttered.

The monster whose middle part was crushed groaned.

At first glance, it seemed like the attack was successful, but Lewen noticed that the body of the monster that had been crushed by the pillar of light was still intact.

‘If it’s like this… ‘

There is only one way.

It was just a seal.

However, sealing is basically a very difficult task, and a lot of things were needed.

It was especially difficult for a monster this size, but it wasn’t that there was no way.

Basically, the saint’s power was focused on recovery and helping allies rather than combat, but she was also specialized in sealing.

The only drawback was that it took time to prepare, but it was very easy to endure that amount of time, so Lewen immediately prepared the seal.

Lewen quietly knelt down and put her hands together.

Looks like praying.

Then, small particles of light appeared around her, gradually creating a seal.

Seeing Llewen’s defenseless appearance, the monster went wild and twisted its body even more.

Then the pillar of light that was pressing the monster’s body disappeared, and when the pillar that was pressing the monster disappeared, the monster rushed towards Llewen.

Defenseless prey.

The monster made a quick attack to suffocate her in one go, but the monster was once again blocked by the barrier surrounding Llewen.

As the attack was continuously blocked, the monster seemed angry and did everything it could to break through the barrier.

I tried to get rid of it by hitting it and biting it, but it didn’t even think about breaking the barrier surrounding Llewen.

The monster gave up and looked elsewhere.

The monster also saw Lwen’s actions to protect others, so it targeted other humans, thinking that the human woman would not remain silent if it touched another human.

But that was also the Lewen that had been assumed.

She expected that the monster would target other people, so she set up a barrier around her, which left the monster unable to do either this or that.

Hehehe!

The monster continued to cry as if to express its anger at the current situation.

If he couldn’t cause damage directly, he planned to cause damage through crying, but even that was blocked by Reen.

While the monster struggles to escape somehow.

Before we knew it, the seal had taken its full form, and Llewen’s eyes slowly opened.

At the same time, the light emanating from the completed sealing formation covered the glowing monster.

The monster covered in light is sucked into the seal.

The monster that was sucked into the seal turned into a small bead and carefully placed it on her hand.

“Ha… ”

Only then did Lewen let out a long breath.

It was a relief that the situation was over.

Let alone why such a monster suddenly appeared.

She looked around to make sure no one was hurt.

Fortunately, no one seemed to have been seriously harmed, but there were traces of those who were one step behind and were eaten.

Lewen looked at those traces and closed her eyes again.

I put my two hands together carefully.

Looks like praying.

Although she was so tired that she felt like she was going to collapse at any moment, Llewen prayed for the sake of those who were lost during this incident, hoping that they would live comfortably in heaven.

After I finished praying, I opened my eyes and was about to get up.

Suddenly there is a vibration.

What’s going on?

Lewen, who had exhausted a great deal of her strength, had no choice but to react somewhat late to the vibrations echoing throughout the ground.

She belatedly recognized the situation and tried to turn her head.

Phew!

By the time she realized it, the monster’s legs had already protruded through her chest.

“Wow.”

Blood flows back down my throat along with the pain that builds up in an instant.

She had already exhausted a lot of her strength and was in no condition to do anything more.

Even if his chest is pierced, he can endure it longer than others due to his insane self-recovery ability.

‘at last… It goes like this… ‘

A smile coming out of the corner of my mouth.

As death approached me, I suppressed all my emotions and burst out laughing.

Lewen slowly turned her head.

The appearance of a monster identical to the monster he had faced just moments ago.

There was only one monster that could clearly be felt, but what happened?

As she continued to think as death approached her, she remembered the time she used the pillar of light earlier.

‘Obviously I didn’t get any injuries at that time… ‘

Now I see that the monster split apart and one naturally went into the ground and hid. What a cunning creature this is.

I couldn’t believe that a monster this size was around here.

“Cough.”

I am gradually losing consciousness.

My vision blinked momentarily, death was truly approaching.

However, Llewen was more worried about the villagers than her own death.

‘If I die, the village people will definitely die too… ‘

Unlike themselves, they are innocent people.

The will to not let those people die made her endure even more, but she could not live by will alone.

A time when the light of life was gradually fading out.

There was a person who filled Llewen’s mind.

The person you cannot help but love.

I thought of him who is called a hero in today’s world.

‘sorry… ‘

He will be sad to see himself gone.

It was heartbreaking to have to inflict the same pain again on someone who had only recently relieved the pain of a breakup.

I want to tell you that it’s okay.

I want to tell him that I am always by his side, so don’t be too sad.

But the fact that she couldn’t do that remained a regret for Llewen.

“… ah… ”

The frequency of blinking vision increased.

The situation is now difficult to endure any longer.

In such a situation, she said with a faint smile on her lips.

“Cariel… i love you… ”

With those words, she closed her eyes.

The world around her began to fill with light.
