Quaaa!

Just one clash.

That alone causes a huge shock wave to explode.

Leaving behind the gusts of wind that swept around due to shock waves.

Kariel and Vermis collided.

Because it hit at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, the surrounding area was devastated and turned into a mess.

However, at this moment, the two were paying all their attention to each other, not caring about their surroundings.

If you let go of tension or lose focus even once, you get a huge critical hit.

Despite countless exchanges, the two showed no signs of being distracted.

At that time, we continued to exchange attacks without saying anything.

Vermis, with an innocent smile, stretched out his fist and said.

“Khehe… You have already surpassed the human category. It’s beyond imagination.”

Kariel responded after catching the outstretched fist.

“You are really strong against the devil.”

The two of them exchanged questions and answers with each other.

It was Vermis who showed surprise first.

The fist that was reaching forward dug into Kariel’s side.

The path taken before your eyes can properly perceive it.

The moment Kariel blinked once, Vermis’ fist had already dug into the side.

It is a bit too late to recognize and prevent it.

However, Kariel’s sword was already pointing towards the sword cutting into the side.

Coogung!

The magic energy surrounding the fist and the sacred power of the holy sword collided. The ground vibrated from the resulting waves. The wind blew like crazy, causing Kariel’s hair to flutter.

Kariel, who was momentarily pushed back by the shock coming from the sword, slightly twisted the holy sword and amplified its divine power. The divine power that began to consume demonic energy.

Vermis immediately kicked him in the stomach, but Kariel blocked that too with his left arm.

Because I couldn’t completely block it, I was pushed back quite a bit, but it didn’t do much damage.

Looking at him like that, Bellemis asked back as if he was dumbfounded.

“You’re obviously much inferior to me physically, but you’re still coping.”

Kariel could not transcend.

However, the devil before my eyes is a transcendent creature.

Naturally, there was a huge gap between the two.

Naturally, they are inferior in terms of speed and lag behind in all physical aspects.

Nevertheless, the reason Kariel was able to show a fight on par with Vermis was because of his senses.

Kariel has always had particularly sensitive senses.

Compared to the level he had, his ability to sense something was quite outstanding.

Naturally, we have now reached the point where we are on the verge of transcendence.

That feeling was even better than the state.

Of course, that alone cannot fully read the devil’s attack.

It was his unique ability that greatly contributed to being able to truly read the devil’s attacks.

As my level increased, my ability to detect magical energy also naturally increased.

As a result, I was able to feel the position and movement of the magic machine in real time.

It may not be a very useful ability for those who do not use magic energy, but…

That wasn’t a big problem.

The main enemy of the hero Kariel is a demon or demon that uses magical energy.

In the current situation, it served as a fleeting blessing.

Sensibility that was originally sensitive and the ability to detect only demonic energy.

As those two abilities came together while dealing with the devil, I was able to obtain a transcendent sense that went beyond cognition.

Although he may be inferior in terms of strength and stamina, all of that was resolved with his divine power alone.

Thanks to his overwhelming divine power, even if he gets hurt, he recovers as if it had never happened in the first place, and his stamina also builds up the more he moves.

That was the reason why Kariel was currently able to fight on equal footing with Vermis.

In fact, Kariel never thought that he would fight so equally.

Even though I was fighting inside, I was also embarrassed.

‘Still, I didn’t get a single wound.’

Vermis is in very good condition.

Of course.

Because I couldn’t hurt you.

On the other hand, Kariel suffered some injuries as she collided head-on with Vermis.

Although he recovered immediately, it was clear that he was still different from Vermis when he was injured.

‘You have to look at the variables somehow.’

I’m about to overflow with divine power right now, but I don’t know how long this will last.

Even though it was impossible to cause great harm right away, it had to be done somehow.

“Seup… ”

After taking a breath.

“Phew… ”

Kariel’s eyes sink as he spits out.

As we took up our fighting stance once again, Vermis smiled happily.

“Come anytime!”

Vermis’ smile spreads, full of genuine joy.

Kariel rushed right in.

It was the start of the second round.

***

People inside the barrier who were kicked out.

Those who had been kidnapped, Garon, Paladin, and even the enemies were all driven outside.

The enemies tried to eliminate them as they were unnecessary since the demons were summoned, but Ares, who had recovered significantly thanks to the divine power scattered by Kariel, moved and dealt with them immediately.

After dealing with all the enemies, Ares immediately contacted all paladins and churches, informed them of the current situation, and requested support.

The opponent is an overwhelmingly strong demon.

I wonder what the request for support meant, but Ares still wanted to help his master, Kariel.

I can’t help in the huge fight taking place inside the barrier right now.

Because getting caught between them is literally no different from the death of a dog.

So, if Kariel was defeated in that fight, he wanted to stop the demon from destroying the dimension.

‘… ‘

It would be a dog’s death.

Ares also knew.

Because in front of the transcendent, numbers become infinitely meaningless.

Ares, who immediately witnessed that power, also lost his will.

However, Ares came to his senses after seeing his master not giving up and his words telling him to come to his senses. Because I decided not to give up no matter what the consequences.

He wanted to do his best until the end.

The appearance of a bard appeared in his gaze.

Both eyes are not focused.

It looks as if he has lost his will.

The brainwashing should have been lifted long ago.

Still, what is the reason it looks like that?

Any doubts about him were quickly resolved.

‘Feeling guilty.’

It was a loss of will due to a sense of guilt toward oneself.

Maybe it’s because I know how huge the disaster was caused by the score I made myself.

Ares looked at him and then looked away.

In that state, no words can be heard.

A situation where no matter what you say, it is meaningless.

Moreover, Ares does not have the gift of words to comfort anyone.

He simply sat down on the ground and waited for help from the church to arrive.

***

Garon was out of his mind.

My eyes couldn’t focus, and my mouth was wide open and wouldn’t close.

His saliva was leaking and he made no movement as if he had lost his will to fight.

“… ”

Looking at his current situation, it was a natural thing to do.

His dream is to create stories of the world’s heroes.

However, he was brought here and made a song about the story of the devil, let alone the hero.

Naturally, the score fell into the hands of enemies, and as a result, a devil capable of destroying the world descended on this world.

To summarize, a disaster brought about by one’s own hands is on the verge of destroying the world.

Who on earth could come to their senses even after knowing these facts?

99 out of 100 people will probably go crazy.

I can’t get over the feeling of guilt for what I did.

And because Garon was one of the 99 of those 100 people.

I couldn’t get my mind right.

‘I am… I am a sinner… ‘

I cursed myself.

‘I shouldn’t live. I have committed an irreparable sin.’

I was pessimistic and loathed myself.

‘I am… It shouldn’t exist… ‘

I couldn’t overcome the feeling of guilt that kept coming.

I couldn’t forgive myself for living like this.

I wanted to rip this hand off right now.

Rather than making a song about the hero’s story that I had longed for.

He cursed this hand that had brought about an irreversible disaster.

On a subject that has not done anything for 40 years.

Is this a punishment for presumptuously claiming to be a minstrel?

He knew it obviously didn’t make sense, but his mind pushed itself harder and harder.

His mind moved forward through the piles of trash thrown into the dump.

I was drowning in a swamp of guilt.

An abyss that cannot be pulled out unless someone pulls it out.

It was a time when Garon, who had fallen there, was gradually being eaten.

Whoa!

I saw light.

A ray of light appeared in the abyss of nothingness.

Garon looked at the light and thought.

Is it really okay for me to hold that rope?

Do you deserve it?

Because it was too bright and warm for me to catch.

Garon brought his outstretched hand again.

Does the rising light also know that?

The light began to fade, and Garon was about to fall into the abyss again.

Suddenly, a warm light enveloped his body.

As the light completely covered him, his vision was transformed.

In his view, a beautiful white-haired woman existed in front of him.
