pouring rain. And my prayers blooming there became a fire and soared without being quenched by the rain.

The blood I sprinkled everywhere was oil, and that was sanctification.

Holy flame.

Those who stay away from demons will be protected by warmth. Anyone who comes close to the devil will be reduced to ashes by this fire.

Being ignited by a prayer that pushes one’s back seemed to indicate that what is important is not what one believes, but what kind of heart one has.

Therefore, I created this flame, and the flame was enough to immediately attract the attention of that cavalryman, General Mine.

“!!”

Kailon’s attention was also drawn.

Even as red and white lights flash alternately, making you wonder if the world is about to end, dark clouds cover the sky, creating a gloomy atmosphere.

But if blue light and heat cover the ground.

If the light was continuous rather than a fleeting flash from the sky, it would certainly be enough to brighten the world.

The sound of thunder rumbled and roared horribly as if it was trying to devour the world.

And my body was standing upright underneath it.

“… Human, station, disgusting, human… ! The most unpleasant smell!”

“What?! Veronica!”

The sight of him pushing away Kylon and coming towards me like, “Fuck,” could be said to be scary.

Honestly, where else would you ever see a horse’s bones in their entirety like this?

Instead of muscles, the bones held together by dark green light were clanking and rushing towards me fiercely.

My body trembled at that sight, but I believed.

This fire will burn them all.

It was something that went beyond a firm belief and could be criticized as blind faith or foolish faith.

But still, still, I had to believe.

“Burn up, burn all the enemies in front of me.”

I looked at the approaching figure of Mine. And stretched out his left hand towards it.

The blood rose upwards and formed a fountain due to the sheath made on the left wrist.

I crossed my right arm over that wrist.

After forming the shape of a cross, he pushed his right arm towards the opponent.

The blood that had formed the fountain was squeezed by the hand and squirmed out through the gap.

And the overflowing blood was pushed forward by my momentum.

Blood splattered forward.

You might think it’s horror, but this was my way of fighting.

There are probably a lot of people lined up to criticize my fighting style, which is the only way I can fight.

Still, I just kept moving forward.

The horse’s bones cracked in the feast of blue light that obscured the front.

Dry shredding sound, crisp. At that sound, I opened my eyes wide, turned my body, and ran forward.

Crispy, crispy.

Ttuk, clatter.

The sound of the bones held by demonic energy cracking, moving out of place and rolling on the ground could make the demons panic.

Also, that fire will consume even demons.

It would be impossible to put out the fire.

Firewood is needed to start a fire, and that firewood was mine itself.

Still, I had no choice but to run because I didn’t know what kind of struggle it might cause if I left it alone.

I gave strength to my feet on the ground. After that, I strengthened my legs and ran forward.

“Huh?!”

Mine let out a groan. It could have been that he had just realized that his body was burning, or it could be that the horse’s body was collapsing and falling to the floor.

Huh.

The moment I jumped into the middle of the fire, I felt the flames being pushed around my body. At the same time, my vision opened, and beyond that, I saw the shape of a horse losing its body and falling to the floor in pieces.

He tightly grasped the dagger in his right hand and swung his hand towards the demon’s neck.

My brows naturally furrowed. I held my breath and only moved my body with the thought of swinging towards that place.

“… Wow!”

Mine let out a voice of pain and swung his left hand to strike my arm away.

Maybe it’s because it’s a dagger, but it doesn’t pose that much of a threat. Or is it just me, the person who wields it, that is the problem?

My right arm was throbbing.

The arm that should have stabbed his neck was thrown away and he returned to the right seat from where he started.

My body was pushed at the same time and I lost my balance.

“… !”

“Die!”

At the same time as Mine’s voice, a burning body came forward.

A fist came closer and hit me in the face.

I felt as if my eyes were spinning from the impact of the bang, and my body, which had lost its balance, rolled on the floor.

“Keup!”

My body, which had hit my butt, was showing dizzy vision as the shock had not gone away.

I felt dizzy.

“It hurts, it hurts.”

I raised my head at the sound of a distressed voice, but all I could see was two overlapping figures, so my right hand clenched.

I missed the dagger. You need to quickly take out the knife hidden inside your thigh. There won’t be time to pick up the dagger. They won’t even give you a chance.

The moment I swallowed my saliva, what came in was a lump of iron.

Greatsword with Kylon.

“… Huh?”

The moment I swallowed a groan, the sword drew a line from left to right in my field of vision.

At the sound that followed, the burning demon was cut in two and died.

“Veronica, are you okay?”

“… ha ha ha… I thought I was going to die.”

Even if I die, I won’t die anyway.

I smiled bitterly and finally found the dagger that was rolling around and took it in my hand.

As I stood up, shaking my butt, Kylon muttered.

“… Well, I’m glad though.”

“I need to help those around me.”

“That’s right, I still don’t know where the devil is.”

You won’t die anyway. I decided to join in with Kailon’s way of turning things around by not saying, and glanced around.

I really didn’t like the feeling of my body becoming wet and cool.

Even on normally warm days, it often gets cold when it rains.

Just as I was about to complain and go towards Flora, I heard a thud.

At the same time, there was a sudden, sharp cut.

“uh.”

The moment I fell, my face fell into the dirt.

It wasn’t a good feeling rolling on the wet, muddy floor.

“Veronica!”

The moment I heard Kylon’s shout, I couldn’t stop shaking.

“… They are nothing but rags to play in the hands of an ugly goddess.”

Even if no one confirmed what I heard in that creepy voice, I couldn’t help but raise my head and open my eyes wide.

I wiped my face roughly with my hand and stood up, regardless of whether my body was dirty or not, and the sight came into view.

A huge horn on the forehead.

Purple skin covering a huge, lumpy body.

The hideous greatsword held in that large hand was so terrifying that it evoked a sense of fear.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok… ”

I was out of breath.

You need to take a deep breath. There was nothing to be too afraid of, since it was not irreparable even if the leg was cut off.

As I waited for my feet to regenerate, I saw Kailon hesitating and trying to deal with the demon lord.

Going crazy. Originally, all we had to do was go to the Demon King’s Castle and face a certain enemy in a certain place and environment, but perhaps because of the goddess’s foolish behavior, it turned into a brawl, and it was just a headache.

“That ugly flame… It must be that seed.”

“ Sons.#◦

In response to the words directed at me, Kailon swore and ran away.

He took a shaky step and pointed his sword at the Demon King. The Demon King swung the huge greatsword he was holding as if it were light and struck the sword away.

A dull, yet clear sound rang in my ears.

“Light. It’s infinitely light! Has the guy called the hero been left behind?”

The Demon King and Kailon, who were more fluent in speech than other Demons, began to engage in battle.

After that, the sword split the air here and there.

Behind the sound of the wind cutting, the sound of metal clashing can be heard again.

I felt like my ears were ringing as I repeated that sum over and over again.

Kang, kang, thud! Kagagak.

Kylon could not receive the power of the holy sword.

But even in the midst of all this, he was struggling with only the strength he had in his body.

The great swords collide again and again.

I carefully got up while listening to the sound.

The pain was so bad that my eyes squinted, but now I was used to it and was able to get up right away.

The shoe was put on the severed foot, and I lifted myself up on the new foot.

I stepped on the mud and stood. Afterwards I saw them fighting with swords.

“Ugh… Kellogg! Kellogg!”

I coughed because I was cold, and then I spit a few times to get the dirt out of my mouth.

There were two men already engrossed in the fight as if they had no interest in me standing here.

It’s only natural that you can’t focus your attention elsewhere in a fight that will determine your death.

If so, now could be considered an opportunity.

All I had to do was pick up the dagger I had dropped when I lost my footing and fall, and then think about what to do next.

“… … .”

Shoot ahhh. I tried to make a fire again amidst the sound of pouring rain.

The blood that had been scattered earlier burned up and disappeared, so there was no choice but to start the fire again.

We have to help Kylon.

Even if we can’t fight directly, it’s good if we can help like this.

If I had known this would happen, I would have thought about putting blood on Kylon’s sword.

Why did I personally fight like this and become a burden and only think about such things?

I am a fool. Just as I thought about it, I heard a hitting sound.

“Wow!”

The moment Kylon’s scream was heard, his body flew several meters away, and the demon king’s red eyes flashed behind him.

“… No matter how strong you are, humans are still humans. This means that he is not an opponent that a human, not even a warrior, can attack.”

The Demon King kicked forward and rushed towards Kailon, who was on his butt.

You’re trying to wrap things up. At the moment when that thought occurred to me, my steps started to move on their own.

I hope that the moment you hit it with a thud, a shock goes through your body.

My body flew and flew towards the black Kylon, but was soon blocked by my body.

Crack.

The feeling of a huge sword piercing my body was absolutely terrifying.
