episode_0668

I see a sword flying through the air.

It was never within reach of me, but I raised my shield anyway.

My body is pushed backwards with a dull jolt.

Ah, really. You can’t predict the timing.

Even if you predict the foreshadowing from a third-person perspective, the moment the sword strike arrives is random!

“Hehehe.”

Frey smirks and swings his sword again. We see the signs, we see the trajectory of the sword, we see Frey’s intentions, and yet there is no refreshing sound from the shield.

“Hehehe.”

While I’m deliberately pretending to be at a disadvantage, Frey just watches me from afar.

I guess he thinks he can win if he attacks unilaterally from this distance.

I don’t like how Fray is so calm. I also don’t like how he smiles so casually!

I know you’re trying to make me impatient and break my defenses, but knowing that doesn’t mean I can do nothing.

Since they are the ones in control, holding out will only cause them to slowly collapse.

It’s just a simple sparring match. Let’s take a gamble.

If what I figured out is correct, then it’ll be okay.

And more than anything, I don’t want to see that stupid smile anymore.

Take away the fairy’s sight and lower the shield.

He provokes with just a smile, as if to say, “If you can, try it.”

Frey didn’t swing his sword easily, as if he was suspicious of my appearance.

“Are you scared?♡”

As soon as he saw the strength in Frey’s hand, he leaned forward and lowered his head.

I feel the sword slash cutting through the wind right above me.

“I was scared♡”

I take a step forward while listening to the fairies’ laughter.

Frey swings his sword again with a light step, as if dancing, but it doesn’t stop.

I follow my intuition and twist my body to the side, and the space right next to me twists.

“As expected, Lucy.”

After dodging two sword strikes, Frey was in front of me.

He spread the fairies around him again and opened both his hands.

Even if you pick up a shield and mace, you’ll just be repeating the same thing you just did.

So I have to lead them to a favorable battlefield.

It’s true that Frey is a genius with the sword, but I’m stronger.

As he spread his arms as if to show off, Frey instinctively bent down.

After confirming that, he squeezed Frey’s shoulder with a bitter laugh.

Frey realized he was trapped and belatedly resisted, but it was meaningless since he was caught by me.

“Kkeuhaaak!?”

You idiot dared to make fun of me. Are you ready to deal with the consequences?

I had been holding Frey back with all my personal feelings, and only after she let out a word of surrender did I let go with a smile.

“You even thought of rushing in with your bare body.”

Arthur, who had been watching the duel from behind, shook his head as if he was tired.

“I’m not like other cowardly people.”

“Who could it be?”

“Phew. You know a lot. Huh~ Prince.”

“…I don’t know why this brat is praised as the savior of the continent.”

That’s what I’m saying. In other places, I’m not keeping my mouth shut, but rather, I’m getting more vocal in my opposition, and the praise shows no sign of abating!

“Prince.”

As he was nodding his head, Frey, who had been resurrected, grabbed Arthur’s wrist.

“Dalian.”

“You just want to take your anger out on me, don’t you?”

“Are you scared?”

“When have I ever been scared and backed down? I just find your attitude unpleasant…”

“You scared me. You coward.”

“…Just try making excuses like you lost because you couldn’t rest.”

I prayed for the repose of Arthur’s soul while watching his back, and patted the heads of the fairies who were yearning for praise.

“That was a great fight, Youngae.”

It’s always the case that Faby compliments me, but today her eyes looked red.

Joy. You really aren’t.

“That’s when Lucy broke it! That was the end!”

“Then why is this landmine girl like this?”

“I was moved when I heard and imagined Young-ae’s wonderful appearance. I want to go to the chapel right away and pray.”

Can you play back images in your head just by listening to a story?

Faby, I hate to say this to you, but you seem like a real otaku.

It’s because her appearance is so good, but if you put on a glasses pig filter and look back on Faby’s actions one by one, you’ll get goosebumps, right?

“Haha. Sorry. I was so overwhelmed that I let out my thoughts that were inside me.”

“It’s a bit gross, so please don’t come near me?”

“I’ll take a step back.”

Faby took a step back without showing any sign of being dead and continued speaking with a smile.

“So, Youngae, why did you gather us here?”

“To harass the slackers who are stuck underground and waiting for me to wake up.”

There are many reasons why I should remain still, such as the full power of the power, or the influence of the Lord will increase because of my activities, or the fact that I will be more advantageous in the future if I accumulate achievements for many apostles, or my safety which is essential for the salvation of the world.

In contrast, why should I move?

Honestly, no.

If we prepare for the variables that the Pope will cause, people in each region will win, just like in the game.

I think it’s best to wait until then and just show up at the crucial moment.

Even if I have to intervene, it would be more rational to leave it to other powerful people besides me.

Knowing all this, I decided to take action myself.

I started to rebel because everyone supported me.

So I decided to see how far I could suck.

Imagine a girl who looks down on, ignores, insults and tramples on those who praise her, and worships a girl who runs wild in her magnificent armor.

Doesn’t that sound fun?

Plus, if I accumulate a lot of achievements, I’ll be able to ask more from you later.

Just thinking about making that guy who was bullying me get on his knees makes my whole body tingle with joy!

More than anything, I think my friends right now would be able to follow what I’m thinking in my head.

To try to set a fun record.

If you can find a new build and save some time, you’re a veteran who’s willing to try it.

right?

“Cooperate.”

“I would be happy to do so.”

“If Lucy says so, then of course I have to follow.”

“Me too. Me too. Because it’s fun to be with Lucy.”

Hey, Freya, what happened to Arthur? You came alone.

Weren’t we just sparring a little while ago?

I blinked and turned my head to the side to find Arthur with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and veins in his eyes.

“Freya Kenteee!”

“Wow. The prince is strong. If only he were a little stronger.”

“Play properly, you fucking brat!”

*

Elaris of Belheim.

It was conquered within 30 minutes of its appearance.

When those sent by the Pope arrived, the dungeon had already disappeared.

Seraph of Cardronia.

The area was ravaged by the Knights of Arlen.

Thanks to this, the various traps that had been set up in advance lost their meaning and the dungeon disappeared in less than an hour.

Lumiere’s Airin.

Rasha herself appeared, but several strong men, including Geomseong, blocked her as if they had expected her.

Meanwhile, the Lord’s apostle entered the dungeon.

The dungeon disappears before Rasha’s fight is over.

Rasha herself was satisfied, saying it was a good fight after a long time.

defeat.

defeat.

defeat.

defeat.

The Pope, who was checking the reports that had come up to him, groaned without realizing it.

This is difficult. I didn’t expect to be overwhelmed to this extent.

The Pope, who was grinning as he read the report full of failures, turned his gaze toward the map.

I predicted that the apostle would move himself.

He is a person who is willing to give up his life for others.

If a sacrifice is made, it is inevitable that you take action yourself.

However, I thought that since he was human, he would have limitations.

That’s why I remained silent even after seeing the apostle himself come forward.

When the moment comes that my pool collapses, I will rush in to seize that moment.

It was a truly arrogant way of thinking.

There’s no way that someone who carries out God’s work would suffer because of those guys.

Alas. The Lord’s apostle is so excellent that I, with my own wisdom, cannot predict the future.

“It’s a very, very enjoyable and happy mistake.”

Since that person has proven his greatness, I must also prove my evil.

Because it’s a fight between good and evil.

The more those who dwell on the continent hate us, the more fear they feel, and the more they express their heartfelt gratitude to the Apostle who saved them, the closer my plan will come to success.

“So I guess I should come up with a plausible story for the apostle.”

The apostle already has enough stories.

He was cursed from a very young age to be unable to help but taunt others, regardless of his intentions.

At a young age, when I should have been loved by others, I learned to hate others.

The mother who had loved her only died of an illness, and the father ignored his daughter due to the shock of losing his lover.

The girl born with that curse became an outcast.

People on the continent don’t know the whole story, but they have a rough idea of what’s going on.

Because the Pope spread it on purpose.

Thanks to his reputation as a hero who stood up for the world without collapsing in the face of tragedy, there are more and more people who find even his sarcasm pitiful.

But this is still not enough.

The past events serve as a great backdrop, but they fail to touch the heart.

The tragedy that has now occurred and the hero who has overcome it will move the people of the world and make them praise the great Lord and His apostles.

The Pope, recalling the image of the Lord coming down from the sky with light, wiped away the tears that were streaming down his face and turned his head toward the map.

The place where his gaze stopped was a remote place in the kingdom of Soladin.

“Let’s start with the small details first.”

I wish the apostle would cry sadly.

It would be perfect if I collapsed and locked myself in my room.

And if at the end you rise again for the world.

“Haaa.”

That is the image of a hero and an apostle chosen by the Lord.

I really want to see it from the side.
