=====================

A feeling of oppression that weighs down your entire body.

The fear of facing the bottom of an abyss.

It’s definitely true.

He was stronger than any godhead he had ever faced.

If the countless guns roaming the air start spewing fire, an infinite hell will unfold. The Paladins with their swords raised swallowed dry saliva and looked at their ‘worst enemy.’

“No, don’t back down!”

“We are the elite of the Holy Empire! Let us sacrifice our lives for the one great God!”

I shouted, trying to suppress my fear.

I took a step forward, struggling to move my stiff body.

It’s just a fleeting struggle.

As if to prove it, there was only deep fear on the Paladins’ faces.

Even though there were as many as 5,000 troops surrounding the area, they were swallowed up by fear. Although the numerical superiority was clear, it was useless in the face of overwhelming fear.

-I never told you to back off?

The apostle of war sneered.

And with a flick of his hand, he pulled the trigger of massacre.

────!!

─────────!!!

The guns burst into flames.

As the cannon fired the shell, projectiles emitting intense flames were shot in a straight line.

The sight of tens of thousands of bullets flying was as if fierce flames were covering the sky. The paladins who faced him forgot even the slightest hope and faced the inferno brought about by the misfortune of war.

“It’s an enemy attack! Quickly deploy the shield!”

“What are those things flying over there? ! Is this a secret weapon of the cultists?!”

The bullets and shells that dominate the battlefield are familiar.

However, the projectile that spits out flames and hits the target accurately was an unfamiliar weapon that had never been experienced on any battlefield.

Of course I couldn’t have seen it.

This is because the projectiles that create an inferno with overwhelming destructive power that surpasses artillery shells were weapons from another world that could not be reached with modern technology.

“Bar, the shield has collapsed!”

“Damn it! Those… How on earth were those weapons made?”

The extensive defensive formation deployed with divine power was torn apart like a piece of paper. The paladins caught up in the storm lost their minds as they let out deathly screams.

The divinity of the one God was destroyed.

Even the Holy Knights who had conquered the cultist forces were infinitely helpless in the face of the disaster of war.

-I won’t kill you, but… I will have to stay in a hospital bed for the next few months.

As the storm created by overwhelming firepower cleared, the fallen Paladins were revealed, looking tattered like rags. The Sanctuary’s troops were immediately neutralized by the bombardment.

Edanant sighed and looked at his only remaining enemy.

“It would not be an exaggeration to call him the destroyer of the world. What on earth are you?”

Querisa, who had witnessed the merciless feast before her eyes, shouted in a voice that was close to a scream.

can not believe it.

Even though I watched it all from beginning to end.

Beautiful dark green eyes were filled with wonder.

The projectiles that demonstrated destructive power comparable to that of flame magic in a short period of time were weapons that had never been seen anywhere else.

What structure is it made of?

It was clearly a weapon created by combining vast technological capabilities.

A perfect form that cannot be achieved through divinity and magic.

It was natural for the magic tower owner, who was fanatically obsessed with new civilization, to be interested.

“Haha! I was curious about what kind of person the fortune of Mugo was written in the prophecy… It was a real monster!”

-Anyway, they are magic tower bastards.

There is no fear or fear at all.

There was only an overflowing desire for knowledge that bordered on madness.

A monster of greed for knowledge.

Those are the wizards of the Magic Tower.

It goes without saying that he is the magic tower lord revered by all wizards. Despite witnessing the feast of destruction in which 5,000 Paladins were annihilated in one fell swoop, Querissa only pursued exploration.

“Seo, saintess!”

“This guy is a monster… ! You must avoid it quickly!”

Haven’t you fallen yet? It’s not tough either.

Edanant’s eyes were focused on the Paladins, who looked like they were returned corpses.

-hmm… .

Ordinary paladins do not know the inside story.

They did not know that the white dragon of the Holy Empire was the misfortune of starvation.

Therefore, even though the Holy Knights were seriously injured all over their bodies, they squeezed out their voices and ordered Zeveline to take refuge. It seemed like he thought there was no chance of victory even if the first saint of the Holy Empire came forward.

-I will take the beautiful saint of the Holy Empire with me.

“Ugh… ?!”

Edanant stretched out both hands and hugged Zeveline.

The girl with flowing silver hair stared at Edanant with a surprised reaction.

Hugging the princess-.

This is a very embarrassing act of affection.

An unexpected situation unfolded at the site, which had been devastated by a large-scale bombing.

I ended up being embarrassed in front of so many people. Jeveline blushed at the sudden situation, but instinctively placed her hand on Edanant’s chest.

“Seo, saintess!”

“Coward! Are you planning to kidnap the saint?”

As the Disaster God’s Apostle hugged the First Saint, the Holy Knights cried out, spitting out blood.

It was natural for the Holy Knights to react angrily as a saint representing the Holy Empire was kidnapped in front of their eyes. Even though they suffered fatal wounds that would not have been surprising if they collapsed immediately, the Holy Knights tried to stop the Disaster God’s apostle by swinging the hilts of their swords.

“Ahh! I’m going to get kidnapped by a cruel villain like this! This is predatory marriage! Obviously, after being forced to get married, you will have lots of cute children!”

The first saintess sighed in a voice that tickled like a tragic heroine.

It was an awkward performance that even third-rate theater actors would not perform.

If you activate the protection, you will be able to escape from the kidnapper’s clutches right away. However, Jebeline did not offer any resistance while acting as a weak girl.

“Hmm? What is going on… .”

There was no way the magic tower owner, who had spent decades in the workshop, would have had the judgment to see through the skit unfolding before his eyes.

Why is the fortune of war trying to kidnap the fortune of famine?

It must be the same ally.

Even when Edanant used the explosion and left the scene, Querissa did not chase after him. The apostle of the God of Disaster, who boldly kidnapped the saint, passed through the outskirts in a split second.

* * *

Kwaang-!

Quagwagwagwang!!

The speed doubled as loud explosions continued. Only a blurry afterimage would be visible to the eyes of ordinary people.

No matter how good a magic tower master is, it would be difficult to keep up with a speed that even surpasses the speed of sound. However, since he could not let down his guard, he tried to escape the sanctuary by increasing his speed even more.

at that time-.

There was a sound that tore through the air.

It was just a noise that came for a brief moment. However, as soon as Edanant caught the wave sound, he forcibly twisted his body and changed his straight path.

-Pfft!

The sharp tip of the sword pierced the air with a sound.

If I hadn’t instinctively avoided it, my head would have been smashed.

-Hold on tight!

“Yes… !”

After several attempts to brake, I was able to stop.

Thick dust fluttered about.

Edanant, who confirmed the presence beyond, prepared for danger by deploying firearms in the air.

“Where are you going, hero and first saint?”

A middle-aged cardinal neatly dressed in priestly attire approached.

Is he trying to prove that he was the criminal who attempted a sneak attack by throwing a sword? In both hands of the cardinal, two swords were spreading eerie anticipation.

-… Damn it.

“Yes, Cardinal Nebiacus!”

I have encountered the most annoying enemy.

Edanant, who witnessed him, frowned and swore.

Zeveline’s reaction was the same as Edanant’s. She also had a white-faced expression, shaking her shoulders as if she had encountered a ghost.

“It was careless to entrust it to Magic Tower. I almost misspelled my lines.”

-The darkness has passed away.

A monster appeared who judged the powerful evildoers threatening the continent in the name of the One God. Facing the monster disguised as a benevolent cardinal, Edanant clicked his tongue and prepared to pull the trigger.

It’s just a moment.

The direction of victory or defeat will be decided in a split second.

Ilkeron Nebiacus was not only a ruthless hunting dog of the Holy Empire, but also a teacher who raised Maximilian, who was selected as a warrior, to the rank of the Seven Strongest of the Nation.

So, while breaking out in a cold sweat, I glared at the powerful enemy in front of me.

-ha… . The iljin is really fierce today. I keep meeting troublesome old people.

The opponent is a monster who has trained his swordsmanship to the limit.

There is no chance of winning in hand-to-hand combat.

I had to widen the distance as much as possible to prevent my head from falling off at once.

“As expected, Cardinal Nebiacus led the work. Cardinal Nebiacus would be the only person in the Holy Kingdom who would cause a tragedy that would bring innocent misfortune to the sanctuary where countless believers reside.”

“This is a decision for the continuation of the world, First Lady. Please forgive me.”

Decisions for the greater good always require sacrifice.

It was going to be like that this time too.

Ilkeron answered in a grave voice and looked at the One God’s natural enemies.
