You are not even given time to catch your breath. As I stood up, my eyes opened straight to the sight of the approaching monsters.

I was shocked and trembled, wondering if the men who had dismounted were holding ropes in their hands rather than blades.

Kidnapping in a place like this? No, it’s strange. How could they know there were people in a forest like this and kidnap them?

If so, is it not an ordinary kidnapping, but something the king ordered?

As I thought that, a threat suddenly came to me.

I remembered something I had forgotten since I was next to Kailon.

Trauma tickled my neck. I was afraid that they would immediately put that rope around my neck and run.

However, it was clear that if I collapsed because I was scared, I would not be able to go back.

It was clear that I would be irreversibly dragged away again.

Even though there was a hero, the reason he asked me to catch him again was because he was saying that he would touch me without any hesitation.

no. We’ve come this far, and now we’ve only got two fights left to kill the monsters to get the Enhancement Stone, and three fights left until the final battle with the Demon King, and they’re suddenly telling us to go back to the Holy Kingdom?

That couldn’t be possible.

So I flapped my skirt and took out the dagger that was strapped to my right thigh.

I know it is a meaningless struggle. But it was clear that gaining time would also have meaning.

But how much time do you need to buy? Until Kylon comes back down from that high place? Until you come down and come here in the middle?

When I thought about it that way, I felt a little helpless because it seemed like it would take at least a couple of hours. I was hoping that I would find meaning, but the struggle turned out to be useless, which was not what I hoped for.

I chewed my lower lip and took a stance. In fact, I had never swung a weapon properly before, so I ended up in a hesitant position.

Even if you’re not a person well versed in weapons, if you look at my posture, you’ll wonder what’s so awkward about it. It looked like he might have squinted.

I know it myself. But even so, he was desperate, so he took a stance like this, and the opponent knew that, so he approached with a tight grip on the rope.

There was no ridicule between them.

The man standing in front moved his mouth covered with a cloth and spoke to me.

“Saint, have a good time.”

“… If I go fine, what happens to me?”

“It’s better not to know that.”

Hmm, whatever happens, they’ll try to kill me again.

I wouldn’t say it was the king’s order, but the thought that it must have been the king’s sent made me itch.

I felt uncomfortable as if there were bugs crawling all over my body. At this tense moment, the leader’s head moved.

Four men, excluding Pabat and the leader, rushed in at once.

crazy… ! Four people rushing in like this to catch one woman?

I was puzzled for a moment, narrowed my brows, and then held out the dagger I was holding tightly.

Boom, boom.

Even though the man was swinging hard to tell me not to come closer, he seemed to be hesitating at the point where the sword couldn’t reach and was looking at the angle to come in.

“… Don’t come!”

“If you grind it finely, it won’t hurt. I have already heard the story about the saint.”

“I, I… now… It’s not getting better… !”

“I know it’s a lie. How could you not know that you saw someone fall off that cliff right now? No one will survive there except the saint.”

Lying doesn’t work either. I hoped that I would be fooled, but I thought that the fact that the white saint’s clothes immediately turned bright red might have been one of the reasons why my lie was revealed.

As he approached me, I closed my eyes tightly.

God help me. I prayed so much.

And at the same time, I felt the same as before.

In order to overcome this crisis immediately, I knew that I had no choice but to do it alone, so I put my hands together.

The energy that erupted in an instant shook the pectorale on my chest.

“Wow!?”

“Saint! Anything more than this is a meaningless act! Just go!”

The men’s voices hit my ears.

“… What should I do?”

Golden eyes brightly brighten the future. At the same time, particles of light from an unknown source enveloped my body, and its power lingered thickly in my hands.

As I said, “Okay,” I held the power in my left hand, and it seemed like I could hold the bow that was most comfortable for me.

“I can’t go.”

Kiiing. I could feel my eyes sparkling.

He threw the dagger he was holding in his right hand at the men. It was to take time to prevent them from approaching, and with my empty right hand, I pulled the bowstring to prevent them from attacking right away.

The particles gather together to create an arrow.

There was no need to transform into a torch to easily catch monsters like before.

All I had to do was pull the arrow like this and pierce their bodies with my divinity.

Sreung.

As I aimed my bow, the man behind him who appeared to be the leader took off his mask as if he was having trouble breathing and pulled out the sword from his waist.

Fortunately, the people who were faltering in front of me did not have knives at their waists.

“I have never heard of the saint holding a bow even once. Black, even if you don’t hear it, you can tell just by looking at your posture. Let’s not do anything that will weaken each other.”

knife? I have never swung it once. I bought a mace for self-defense, but it hasn’t been in Kylon’s inventory for a long time.

bow. Yeah, I’ve never pulled one before.

But it’s different now.

It is a bow of light that borrows the power of God. There was no need to calculate the wind or the falling angle to hit the target.

If you just had the will to annihilate the enemy, it was a sure fight, a sure kill.

I did not give in to what the gunman said. Knock knock, knock knock. Even though I knew my arms were shaking, I pulled the bowstring to its maximum and aimed it at the enemy.

Those who step back to avoid the moment they are aimed.

I repeatedly swung my aim back and forth to prevent others from approaching, and the moment I repeated this once or twice, when I aimed at the guy on the left, the guy on the right ran towards me with a rope.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to react because it happened so quickly.

My waist, which had spun in surprise, responded to the sound and flicked the bow with a thud.

It pierced the head of the assailant without any flames spreading like before.

“… !”

The gunman died without even being able to utter a single word.

My heart is pounding. My heart is pounding.

I killed someone.

The light that hit between the eyes dispersed and disappeared, but the hole did not close and blood only flowed out.

My mouth seemed to be shaking, but at this moment, I couldn’t stop if I wanted to escape the threat that was trying to kill me.

Again, the bow of light, which is nothing, pulls the bowstring and creates an arrow.

“God, please turn away the malice directed at me and pray that they seek justice.”

Clutter, clatter.

I’ve never heard of anyone pulling a bow even once, but when they showed off their skills, the backs of the three strange men, unable to hide their embarrassment, came into view.

And what remained in that place was the leader of the gangsters.

He raised his sword.

“Confession.”

Confess. Don’t forget that you have committed a crime and will have to pay the price for it.

So, don’t forget that you will speak of your sins and try to forgive them.

“Killed a person. And I will kill you.”

I thought that something like murder was actually an act that had nothing to do with me.

It seemed like even if I killed a monster, I wouldn’t kill a person, but in the end, I wondered if I couldn’t go back to being the person I was before.

“So please forgive me again.”

Ting. The moment I let go, the bow quickly slipped out of my hand and headed towards the enemy.

And at the same time, the sight of a monster-like leader striking it down came into view.

“… Holy woman, please excuse me for not being able to heal even if I get slightly injured.”

“God.”

His new type leapt forward as if triggered, and I quickly stretched out my hand and pulled the bow.

The sight of him somehow blocking the arrows being shot and running back with his arms instead of hitting them was truly scary.

With the distance narrowed so quickly, I felt that I would no longer have time to draw the bow, so I moved the hand holding the bow to where my right hand was.

The bow held in the left hand scattered as soon as the right hand held it together, creating the shape of a sword.

Kaang!

“… … !”

The man’s eyes brightened.

That was because I struck down the sword that was rushing towards me in an instant.

My nose is bleeding. It was because I was using too much force.

I could already see that the blood that had soaked my entire body was evaporating. But that didn’t mean I could stop.

If there is no price, if you can’t pay again, you can only compete with your mental power.

Thinking that I had to finish it quickly, I thought of a strong weapon I knew.

I tried to hit one more hit with the sword and push it away, but now the only thing left was the thought that even if I fought, I would lose, so I had to think of another weapon.

In an instant, the lich was holding up the longer weapon and swinging at it. The man blocked it with his forearm and barely managed to steady himself with one of his arms shaky as if he had broken it.

But even so, it didn’t stop coming.

I felt like I was going crazy.

The nosebleed kept flowing, and my vision was turning red little by little, and it was a very confusing moment as I wondered how long my monster-like stamina could endure.

“Ugh, huh… Oh God… ”

Even while I was out of breath, I sang to God to ask for His strength.
