***

– Our merciful God, look down upon us.

There was a person who came across the distant wasteland.

There was a lot of dust on the bottom of the woman’s clothes.

badlands. Yes, the fortress wasteland was increasing.

The grass had lost its color, and the plump livestock had become skinny.

The products of nature that could be seen in the green vegetation disappeared one by one, and ugly and grotesque creatures that survive in the barren environment took their place.

All these changes have occurred since that day.

[The day the light went out]

It refers to the day when God’s servant fell for the trick of evil and abandoned the path of light.

To put it in simple terms, it is the day when a rare witch appeared who broke into the execution ground, cut down the Holy Knights, and protected herself with an evil spell.

After that tragedy, famine began to occur in the world.

The Pope was unusually angry, saying that evil forces were at work.

He also emphasized the unity of believers, saying that if the children of light stick together, they can overcome this ordeal.

The external announcement was like that.

Of course, those who did not have the ‘same’ beliefs as them whispered behind their backs.

“Judgment has begun.”And….

– Burn down what is false and revive what is true.

The woman, dressed modestly, had a light load even though she had walked a long way.

Her possessions were a set of clothes covered in dust, something huge on her back, and her body.

The woman crossed the wasteland, chanting a prayer.

Her journey was like this.

Recite prayers and break down the things that stand in your way.

And then we hit the road again.

She crossed the wasteland barefoot.

The rough dirt, stones, and insects of the wasteland tore at my feet, but there was not a single wound.

Her pure white feet stepped on the green grass.

“…….”

As she stared ahead with empty eyes, light began to shine in her eyes.

“Ah… it arrived.”

A dry voice came out of her mouth.

An impregnable castle appeared before her eyes.

It was the last refuge where the Pope fled from her and built a nest.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the castle walls. I saw knights wearing white armor.

Tension, hostility and fear.

The emotions she had experienced countless times in the church basement came flooding back to her.

killer

apostate

heresy

evil woman

witch

devil

Although I couldn’t hear it, the sound of them speaking was carried by the wind.

She didn’t mind.

If she had had the will to be broken by people’s criticism, she would not have made it through the crowd that day and made her way to the execution site.

She unlatched something huge from her back.

The tightly wrapped bandage began to be removed, and her weapon gradually began to reveal itself.

A huge greatsword.

And the slender woman wielding it.

The people on the castle walls did not let go of tension due to the contradictory appearance.

“Look.”

The woman took another step, putting her weapon on her shoulder.

“There are so many sinners who have been deceived by lies.”

A huge wave of violence slowly begins to move towards the castle.

“…?”

A fishy, bloody smell entered the woman’s nose as she moved with her eyes focused on the castle gate.

The source of the smell was the castle she was heading to.

If it is so far away that the arrow cannot even reach it, why does it smell like this?

It’s not the bloody smell that comes from one or two people dying.

Hundreds of people died. just now.

The woman tilted her head.

Who but I condemn them?

Her steps, which had been slowly crossing the grassland, became faster.

She raised her head and saw the castle walls.

The troops on the castle walls began to move busily.

It was not reinforcement to the walls.

People began to leave the castle.

– Boom!

Before I could ask any new questions, a huge sound echoed through the sky.

The woman tilted her head again.

Black smoke was rising from the castle.

As if someone was using the castle as a beacon…

The smell of fire and blood began to vibrate the hot springs.

The woman crumpled her face from the heat and smell.

“I don’t know who it is, but I cannot tolerate arbitrarily laying hands on criminals whom I am supposed to condemn.”

Perhaps because she was displeased, her steps became faster.

“You think so, right?”

She asked someone, and naturally there was no answer.

But she smiled brightly, as if she had heard the answer.

“Saint.”
