“—KREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!”

The monster’s roar echoed.

And the identity of that monster was an orc, but judging by its appearance, it wasn’t just any orc.

“Damn it! Its skin is purple! What’s a mutated orc, usually only seen in demonic regions, doing in the middle of the Imperial Capital!!!”

It’s a mutated orc with a high ratio of magical energy.

Orcs are powerful as mid-tier monsters, but they aren’t that ferocious.

So it’s possible to form a defensive line to some extent and buy time.

However, that’s based on the standard of a normal orc with green skin.

A mutated orc, an orc tainted by magical energy, is a different story.

Their belligerence is second to none.

The Bahad Special Defense Force troops couldn’t hide their horrified state upon witnessing their appearance.

“—KREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!” “—WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

—Thudududududududu!—Dudududududududu!!

“They’re pushing in!!!!”

There were a whopping two hundred of these mutated orcs.

Since each one is well over 2 meters tall, the perceived number felt even more extreme.

Those massive, belligerent masses charged relentlessly towards the hastily constructed wooden barricade.

“Aaaaaaa!! Mother, your son will soon follow!!!”

“Goddamn it, let’s just go all in!!!”

In contrast, the Imperial Provincial Special Defense Force’s side defense force consists of only about 300 soldiers.

Most of them lack combat experience against mid-tier monsters or higher.

They were terrified and essentially accepting their deaths.

Fwoooosh—!

At that moment, an enormous flash of light erupted from the side of the mutated orcs pushing towards the defense force.

—Shweeeeeeeek!—Shweeeeeeeek!—Shweeeeeeeek!!

It was none other than arrows emitting golden flashes of light.

—Fwoooosh!—Fwoooosh!—Fwoooosh!

“—Kwooooork!” “—Kweeeeeek!” “—Kwooooork!!”

The golden energy arrows, shooting out like streaks of light, all struck the mutated orcs in the head.

“What is it??”

The Special Defense Force members who witnessed the scene turned their heads to look in the direction the arrows had come from.

“It’s the Holy Empire’s Sisters!!”

There, sisters wearing Holy Empire combat nun habits were aiming ornate crossbows, emblazoned with the Holy Empire insignia, at the mutated orcs.

The golden flash arrows fired just now were arrows imbued with holy water from the Holy Empire’s Sisters.

Arrows imbued with holy water exert even more powerful force against monsters with high magical energy.

“Mid-level Sisters, please provide support from a distance. The senior Sisters, including myself, will stop them at close range.”

Thud, thud, thud,

The number of sisters carrying crossbows totaled about 40. They split to both sides, forming a battle line.

And in the middle of them, Bishop Sister Charlotte, including ten sisters, walked forward.

Mid-level Sisters are Runner level. It’s easier for senior Sisters and above to directly engage mid-tier monsters.

Therefore, Charlotte plans to have the 40 or so mid-level Sisters and below provide ranged support, while she herself will lead the senior Sisters and above to directly slaughter the mutated orcs.

Out of the nine sisters besides Charlotte, six are senior Sisters and three are Expert level chief Sisters.

Whoosh…! Whoosh…! Whoosh…!

The senior Sisters already held maces specially crafted by the Holy Empire in their hands.

And the three Expert level chief Sisters summoned warhammers similar to Charlotte’s from their weapon inventories.

Clang!

Although similar in appearance, Charlotte’s is slightly larger and has the Holy Empire’s emblem on top.

The so-called Goddess’s Warhammer,

A specially crafted warhammer from the Holy Empire that allows for a more explosive level of divine power projection than ordinary Holy Empire maces.

Bishop Sister Charlotte raised the Goddess’s Warhammer above her head.

Then,

“Glory to the Goddess for victory!!!!”

Despite her beautiful and benevolent face,

She declared war on the enemy ahead, emitting not only resolute but also belligerent eyes.

“—WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” “—KREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”

—Thududududududududu!!!

At that moment, the mutated orcs recognized the appearance of the Holy Empire’s Sisters and turned their bodies in that direction, beginning to charge.

“Victory!” “Victory to the Goddess!!!”

“The Goddess’s judgment upon the monsters!!!!”

—Dadadadadadadada!!

However, the Holy Empire’s Sisters fearlessly charged towards the mutated orcs, wielding maces and warhammers.

—Fwoooooooooooooooosh!!

Among them, Bishop Sister, a whopping Seeker level Charlotte Dessel Oblean, Bishop Sister, demonstrated a different level of mana footwork, moving her sacred body towards the mutated orc horde.

Then,

—Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!!

Headshot!

She swung the enormous and weighty Goddess’s Warhammer vertically, striking down the head of the mutated orc at the very front.

—Fshshshshshshshsh!!!

It was a one-hit kill.

Despite being orcs, mid-tier monsters with a fairly high tier in terms of durability, the mutated orc’s head was shattered like a pumpkin by Charlotte’s one warhammer attack.

“Oooooooooh!!!”

The Special Defense Force members who witnessed the amazing scene couldn’t hide their astonished exclamations.

Frankly, they were half-doubting even when the ten Holy Empire’s Sisters ran out.

The reason for that was that the Sisters’ stats tend to have relatively lower agility.

So, contrary to their momentum, their force seemed quite lacking from a distance.

However, Charlotte’s Goddess’s Warhammer strike deleted the head of a mutated orc that was over 2 meters tall and weighed hundreds of kilograms, so the reversal was even more impressive.

—Pshshshshshshshsh!!!

“The Goddess!!!”

From Charlotte’s perspective, it was her first kill on the battlefield.

In front of her, jets of the mutated orc’s crimson blood spurted out.

Charlotte, in order to steel her heart,

And to further encourage her comrades, she glared with eyes full of faith and chanted the Goddess’s name.

“—Waaaaaaaaaaat!!”

—Fwoooosh!!—Fwoooosh!!—Fwoooosh!!!

Following Charlotte’s chant, her nine comrades, who had arrived beside her, also began to smash the mutated orcs’ heads with ferocious shouts and brutal blunt weapons.

“I cannot forgive you vile creatures who steal the lives of good people! This Bishop Sister Charlotte will not forgive you!”

Fshshshshshshshsh…!!!

However, the one who inevitably stood out was Priest Seeker level Charlotte.

The reason is that the nun class, as mental ability users, ultimately overwhelms in terms of attack range with high tiers of divine power.

An enormous amount of divine power energy was injected into Charlotte’s Goddess’s Warhammer.

Wobble! Wobble!

At that moment, Charlotte’s huge breasts wobbled fiercely.

That’s why she’s the only one not wearing the nun combat uniform.

—Fwoaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!!

After that, a brutal warhammer horizontal swing was unleashed with a feeling as wild as her dynamically wobbling breasts.

—Fwoooosh!!!

The mutated orc’s massive head was mercilessly deleted.

“Lo, look at that!!!”

But that wasn’t all.

—Fwoooosh!—Fwoooosh!—Fwoooosh!!!

“—Krehhhhhhhhhet!!”

“—Kiehhhhhhhhhet!!”

The heads of the other mutated orcs near it were also shattered or suffered great damage.

They had been affected by the area-of-effect damage attack, one of the characteristic abilities of the Priest Seeker class.

“It’s an area-of-effect damage attack!! To see that incredible miracle right before my eyes is truly amazing!!!”

“Look at that! That incredible divine power explosion! Truly befitting of a Bishop Sister!!”

The Special Defense Force troops couldn’t help but be amazed and impressed by the incredible ability.

An axe is also a blunt weapon, and a greatsword is also a blunt weapon.

However, the blunt weapon attacks of nuns and priests who use maces or warhammers can inflict a broader area-of-effect damage. It can be analyzed that the reason is that a huge amount of supernatural energy is wrapped around and emitted.

Therefore, not only do multiple enemies take damage, but the divine power explosion effects created in the impact situation are also quite amazing.

“Kneel before God, you monsters!!! In the name of God, I will punish you cursed race!!”

—Fwoooosh!—Fwoaaak!—Fwoooosh!!

With such tremendous area-of-effect damage attacks and dazzling supernatural effects, Charlotte slaughtered nearly 200 mutated orcs with a ferocious momentum.

As the battle began in earnest, Charlotte exuded an explosive momentum that made one wonder if she was the same Charlotte as usual.

Originally, the mana of a cleric, divine power, is closely related to faith, so as their stats increase, they fall into a state of ecstasy and become unstoppable.

It can be seen as quite similar to a berserker.

However, the crucial difference is that

Unlike berserkers, clerics only exhibit belligerence towards monsters, and

They return to their original selves after the battle ends.

“What an amazing sight! It’s as if the Goddess has truly descended and is subjugating the monsters!!!”

“They said she’s the closest person to a saint since Grand Duchess Marianne, and it wasn’t an exaggeration at all!!”

The Goddess is by no means limited to healing people and performing miracles.

Basically, the one who protects people from monsters is the ancient Goddess.

Therefore, her other image is extremely tough.

The reason why Charlotte doesn’t bother to carry a nun combat uniform is also because of that.

She knew very well how powerful the psychological synergy would be when she went to the battlefield in a form most similar to the Goddess.

“Let’s do our best too!! Let’s help even from a distance!!!”

“Fire!! Fire the crossbows!!!”

—Fyuuuuuuaaaaaaa!!—Fyuuuuuuuuuuu!—Fyuuuuuuaaaaaaa!!

Charlotte’s self-sacrificing devotion properly resonated with the people, and

The defense force, filled with fighting spirit, began to fire crossbow support.

‘Blood…!!!’

Blood, thus, in order to save people, the monster’s blood, flesh, bones, and mutilated organs were rampant before Charlotte’s eyes as she wielded the Goddess’s Warhammer.

‘Goddess…give me strength, give me strength…’

Looking at them, Charlotte desperately murmured a prayer to the Goddess.

‘Damn it, are there monsters here too???’

Eugene Schneider, who had become Victoria’s temporary informant and was heading to Bahad, looked bewildered.

“—Kiehhhhhhhhhet!!!”

“—Krehhhhhhhhhet!!!”

“Kyaaaaak! Goblins! It’s goblins!!”

“Run away! We can’t handle that many without weapons!!”

‘Why are there goblins in the intermediate zone???’

A goblin horde appeared in the middle zone’s passage, not in the outer regions of the continent, where people pass by to some extent.

Dozens of goblins poured out from a small mountain next to the road, and people, witnessing their appearance, were terrified and began to run away.

“Priscilla! Protect the people, I’ll take care of the goblins.”

—Fwoaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!

“Okay, Eugene!”

Eugene asked Priscilla for cover and immediately rushed out.

“Get out of the way!!!!”

—Shwaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!

Eugene Schneider, dodging through the bewildered people with incredible skill, drew his greatsword.

—Fwoaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!

—Fshfshfshfshfsh!!!

He blew away the heads of many goblins with a single strike.
