“Ugh… Ugh….”

Maria crawled on the floor, writhing in pain.

Lumen lifted his leg and kicked her in the stomach, causing Maria to roll on the ground a few more times.

Marian did not feel any pain in her abdomen.

The pain of losing an eye covered all the pain that followed.

“Saints must die.”

Lumen declared.

“Only when he dies will order be established.”

Lumen declared.

The woman in silver armor slowly approaches Maria.

“Ugh… Ugh….”

Maria, who had adapted to the pain to some extent, stood up using her sword as a staff.

Her hand holding the sword shook to a pitiful degree.

Maria held the sword with her left hand and stopped the blood flowing from her eyes with her right.

“Are you attacking me like that again?”

For the first time, regret appeared on Lumen’s face.

“…….”

“The will alone is amazing. It would have been nice to have shown that will to God.”

Lumen’s body shot again, and Maria grabbed the sword with one hand and swung it.

Normally, his body would have stumbled under the weight of the sword, but his posture was undisturbed.

Lumen ducked and dodged the sword that was swung sideways, and raised his ax upward from the bottom.

Maria stumbled backwards, and the sharp blue blade of the ax slightly cut her shoulder.

“Ugh!”

Maria moaned at the sensation of biting her flesh.

“The saint must die, you cannot stop it.”

Lumen changed his hands and struck down the raised ax.

Maria held the handle of the ax with difficulty.

Lumen’s armament, which had been falling down, stopped.

“You still have strength left?”

Lumen opened his eyes in surprise.

“Yes…thankfully.”

Maria laughed, her eyes bleeding.

“Then, repent more.”

The hand holding the ax takes strength.

Slowly, slowly, the ax blade falls into Maria’s shoulder.

The pain that was increasingly digging into my skin ran down my spine.

Maria thought.

Why is the saint a saint?

Maria steps forward and shoves Lumen with her shoulder.

It was a very small gesture, but Lumen’s posture slightly collapsed.

There is no evidence in the world that a saint is a saint.

Lumen’s kick hits her stomach.

Nothing in the world proves that he is a saint.

Maria grabs Lumen’s leg.

He puts down his great sword and slams his fist into her knee with his empty hand.

But I remember.

While letting out a small groan, Lumen swung the axe.

his voice.

He ducks, dodges the axe, and punches again.

his eyes.

I push her away while putting my foot down, and pick up the great sword that fell on the floor.

his smile.

Raise the great sword high. Suddenly, I feel pain in my back.

his body temperature.

Before I knew it, the swung ax was gnawing away at my side.

his body type.

Nevertheless, he lowers his great sword.

With a thud, the sound of crushing armor, one of Lumen’s shoulders was bent in a strange manner.

“You are a saint.”

Retrieving the great sword, Maria declared.

“There is no evidence to guarantee that.”

A posture with legs wide apart and the sword raised upward.

Mary believed that the saint was standing behind her.

I firmly believed that he was holding my trembling arms tightly and supporting my weak, weak legs.

One day, like what we did in the training hall….

“But it remains for me. The saint’s voice, eyes, smile, body temperature, body scent…”

Maria raises her sword high.

“Chief judge.”

Gather the remaining strength and focus it on your arms.

“I believe that the Holy Son is the Holy Son. I decided to believe that, so I don’t need any proof.”

He stares at Lumen’s eyes looking up at him with one eye.

“So, I question everything that persecutes the saint.”

Question everything that exists.

“All the doctrines of the world.”

Strike down the great sword. Twisted Lumen’s shoulder is torn apart.

“All the rules in the world.”

Strike down the great sword again. Lumen’s shaky shoulder flies off.

“All the testimonies of the world.”

Strike down the great sword again. This time the other shoulder is torn.

“Everyone in the world.”

Strike down the great sword again. The last remaining arm flies away.

“This world that persecutes the Holy Son is all heresy.”

After Maria finished speaking, Lumen’s knees fell to the ground.

“That’s… your answer.”

Lumen said calmly.

As if he understood everything, as if he knew it would happen.

“But, the saint must die. That’s God’s will.”

Lumen shook his head, spitting out blood.

Maria lowers her sword and catches it.

“Then, I will cut down that god as well.”

Maria swings her sword.

Lumen’s head flies off and crashes through the main gate of Solar Lucia.

“……”

Silence suddenly comes to a noisy place.

From afar, beyond the main gate of Solar Lucia, people with torches could be seen rushing in.

“Don’t miss it!!!”

Leaving behind the crowd of people, Maria fled into the grass.

***

Noon the next day, square.

Despite Solarucia’s commotion, the sentence was carried out normally.

The criminal, Kang In-ho, climbed back onto the execution platform in the same square where he first came.

Tightly tied to the rope, he did not offer any resistance and just stood calmly on the execution platform.

The execution was unusually carried out by the head of the Holy Knights.

This was because the Heretic Inquisitor had died, and there was also a bit of personal grudge from the Holy Knight leader.

Because it was the execution of a saint impersonator and a devil, many people flocked to the square.

Everyone threw stones at the devil, who horribly resembled the image of a saint they had never seen up close before.

Most of the stone slings did not even reach the execution platform, but several struck Kang In-ho’s body and head.

Thanks to this, he was already covered in blood before the execution began.

In the angry crowd, there was a woman who covered herself with a robe.

She looked around nervously, looking for the saint’s helpers who might be hiding.

They were so well hidden that they were completely unnoticed by Maria, which put her at ease.

At least I thought I was hiding well.

The leader of the Holy Knights recited the sins of the saint.

Maria looked around.

‘Should we move by now?’

The booing of the angry crowd is heard.

Maria looked around.

‘Where is it? ‘Why isn’t it moving?’

The leader of the Holy Knights drew his sword.

Maria looked around.

‘Now we really have to move. ‘Where are you!’

The leader of the Holy Knights swung his sword.

The saint’s head was cut off and he flew into the sky.

“Ah…?”

Mary saw the flying saint’s eyes looking straight at her.
