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

I asked that person one day.

It’s so reckless.

What kind of determination can you have to be so desperate?

The sight of the man who jumped into a desperate battlefield without hesitation, even if he lacked ten lives, and saved countless people was enough to cause shock and trepidation.

I just got lucky.

How long can bad luck continue?

Nevertheless, that person headed towards death more boldly and courageously than anyone else.

The glory of victory is not important.

Glory and pride are but fleeting vanities.

In order to end the war that devoured innocent lives, we accepted the evils of war. The noble sacrifice he made to save the nameless crowd, even becoming a cursed being, deserved to be recognized by the one and only benevolent God.

“One God? I have no intention of being recognized by the lady who is still enjoying her leisurely tea time.”

“Boo, it’s disrespectful! The only merciful God is always taking care of us!”

Kaang-.

He hit the man on the head with his scepter.

Then, the person expressed his discomfort while rubbing his hit head.

“No matter how much I pray, the Earth Mother won’t listen.”

“It can’t be… ! You gave an oracle to save the countless people swept up in the disaster. Thanks to the oracle of the Holy Emperor, we came together like this.”

“ To be exact, the saint’s party was formed easily thanks to the girl who was granted the miracle of a saint and started a reverse harem at the Imperial Academy. I don’t think the Earth Mother has ever helped me.”

“Woman, reverse harem?! It’s not like that!”

Kaang-.

He struck again with the scepter of the Holy Night.

A lump appeared on the man’s head after being hit twice in the same place.

“Such profane remarks were made to the second saintess of the Holy Empire following Yu Ilshin… ! Hurry up and repent!”

“That’s correct. Reverse harem saint.”

Warrior. Sword Saint. Mercenary King. Wise man.

A greedy saint who associates with four heroes representing this world at the same time.

It’s amazing too.

How did they capture four men at the same time?

If you want to witness the essence of fishing management, have an audience with the second saint of the Holy Empire. Beatrice, who has conquered all of the world’s most beautiful young people with her pure charm, will be happy to teach you the strategy.

The person shrugged his shoulders and continued to laugh.

“No! No! It’s not like that!”

“Okay, I understand. So put down the damn weapon first.”

When I threatened him by holding the scepter of the Holy Night with both hands like a baseball bat, the man reacted in astonishment and waved his hands.

It is close to a conditioned reflex.

How many times would it take to be so beaten that one would be horrified as soon as one sees the scepter of the Holy Night?

“When will the war end?”

Can someone like me defeat the devil?

Can I, a mere country girl, end the war?

There was never a time when I doubted my holy faith.

However, doubts arose every time I recalled the oracle of the One God that He would be the savior who saves everyone.

Despite numerous victories, the Demon King’s army and the cultists’ forces were still powerful. No matter how hard I tried on the front line, I could not see any chance of victory as if I was blocked by dark clouds, so I showed my anxiety to that person like a child whining.

“It will end.”

“How every time… Are you sure? Even though the Earth Mother gave an oracle… .”

“I don’t believe in the Mother Earth’s oracle. I believe in you.”

“I am just an extremely weak and cowardly woman. Every time I think of the harsh scenes of the battlefield, my hands start shaking.”

scary.

And I was afraid.

Death is beckoning.

Every time I entered the battlefield, I was threatened with death.

The pure white saint who had been bestowed with miracles and the oracle of the one God was nothing more than a petty coward. Like Mangeun, he even implicitly harbored the cowardice of wanting to throw away the heavy fate and run away from reality.

Can you repay the Earthmother’s favor?

Can it properly live up to the expectations and trust of countless believers?

Every time distrust and doubt accumulated, I felt like my whole body was going to break. Every time I encountered believers who were hoping for a miracle of salvation, I felt a sense of contempt for my helplessness.

“Me too. You always say confidence, but it’s just bravado.”

“You are overly humble. So far, Edanant has saved tens of thousands of people. But is it just a bluff?”

“It’s a bluff. It’s just a struggle to jump in recklessly. So far, I’ve just been lucky.”

“… … .”

That can’t be possible.

Because Edanant is different from someone like me who is only half a penny.

I bit my lip and tried to swallow down a pessimistic answer.

Fear is like a contagious disease.

I had no choice but to swallow my anxiety because I was afraid that my fear might be conveyed to Edanant.

“It’s okay, you’re doing well.”

“… Yes?”

You are doing well.

I heard what I wanted to hear most from the person I trusted the most.

Tears welled up.

Even though I know that these are just empty words meant to give me courage and confidence.

Did he see through the dark fear coiled in his heart? He was an all-rounder who acted without hesitation, like someone with clairvoyance who could predict the future, so it must have been that way.

“No matter how scared you are, no matter how scared you are, you will never run away. You always prioritized your duties as a saint and saved countless people. It is much greater than the one God who just stands by in the heavens.”

“Ugh… !”

The person said with a wide smile.

My face lit up at the gentle consolation that came with a smile.

I don’t know what to answer.

It touched my heart even more because it was sincere consolation from someone who usually only showed a mischievous side.

I became so embarrassed that it was difficult to look him in the eye. So, to hide his face, which was as red as a teapot over a bonfire, he turned to the side and made a groaning noise.

“Targeting Bea while she was away for a moment!”

“Edanant… ! A playboy who steals the hearts of innocent girls every time he stops by the village! If even Bea is targeted, I will never sit idly by and put the reputation of the Magic Tower at stake!”

As I was chatting with that person while looking at the bonfire,

The colleagues are back.

They were the mercenary king Felix and the wise man Madvei.

As the warrior and swordsman returned, the heavy atmosphere immediately became noisy.

Felix and Madvey grabbed Edanant by the shoulders and forcibly pulled him out. Maximilian and Regnas smiled faintly as they watched the commotion.

* * *

Although I was in pain due to the terrible war, the fleeting memories of being very happy thanks to my comrades who always stood by my side quickly flashed by.

The main light.

A reverberation of the past that comes down to the dead.

Beatrice’s consciousness, completely eroded by the ash of death, broke out with a faint smile. And a new personality took over the leadership of the body.

“Ethan… . Edanant.”

While feeling sorry, I repeated the name of the person I was thankful for.

At the same time, the witch with flowing white hair took a step forward, breaking the seal formed with the cold of death.

Damn it -.

Damn it. Blah blah blah-!!

Beatrice does not exist.

The same was true of death, which was mobilized as a necessary evil.

Third personality.

This is a miracle that was born when the miracles of a saint and the deity of death were forcibly combined.

A blackened frosty wind blew and shook the Demon King’s Castle. As if in response, the members of the saint’s party, who had been reduced to cursed beings, also let out a sharp roar.

“… You’re here.”

When a new god born from the god of creation and disaster was announcing the birth.

A vortex of magical power occurred.

It was definitely a place not that far from the Demon King’s Castle.

The beings of this world raided the demon world using ultra-long-distance transfer magic. As a torrent of magic struck the surroundings, demons and monsters from the demon world, liberated from the gray of the finale, flocked like a cloud.

“I have to let it go. You bastards.”

The reason why demons and monsters gathered together was to protect the Demon King’s Castle.

However, to the newly born Demon Lord of Death, such actions were nothing more than an annoying distraction.

Edanant.

I have to meet that person quickly.

All beings who stand in the way of meeting the person who comes to mind clearly are obstructionists, regardless of power or race. Therefore, it was decided to slaughter all the demonic forces that had gathered around the Demon King’s Castle.

“Distorted.”

The witch with flowing white hair stretched out her hand.

Her grasp was aimed at the seal of the holy sword that was tightly surrounding the Demon King’s castle.

Kwasik-!

A loud noise sounded like a lightning strike.

The frosty wind that turned into a sharp storm continued to pound the seal of the holy sword like a battering ram. However, the seal that squeezed out not only the divinity concentrated in the holy sword but also the person’s life force did not budge.

It can never be destroyed from the inside.

It would take hundreds of years for the seal to reach its full potential.

The Demon Lord of Death, who noticed him, gritted his teeth and cursed the owner of the holy sword.

“Maximilian… !”

The witch, engulfed in cold, sparkled her eyes.

The left eye is pure white, symbolizing the miracle of the saint.

The right eye was burning jet black, expressing the elixir of death.
