Girl Paladin Jupiter

“Hoo…”

Left alone, Jupiter took out the sculpture she had received before and placed it on the map, as the message said.

Then, the subtle divine power of moonlight remaining inside the sculpture began to envelop the map and draw a path on it.

“Oh…”

The hint is intuitive. No one knew what would be at the end of the path following the light, but Jupiter felt her heart pounding for the first time in a long time.

She felt something similar when she obtained this holy sword.

Jupiter immediately grabbed the map and left the city.

Trying not to be conscious of the gazes around her as much as possible.

As she started walking along the direction indicated by the light on the map, she passed by several places.

“Hmm…”

Jupiter followed the light on the map and looked around.

It was not suitable for party hunting, but she arrived at a decent hunting ground for solo players.

The light on the map told her to go straight across this hunting ground.

As she was crossing the hunting ground following the map’s guidance.

Jupiter felt something strange.

Clearly, it was a popular hunting ground, so there should have been many users.

But there weren’t.

It was hard to find users. No, there were users hunting here and there.

The problem was that they were all Humans.

Popular hunting grounds were places sought after by all users, regardless of race.

The fact that only one race occupied the place and continued hunting was a clear anomaly.

It was around the time she thought that.

From a slightly distant place, rough curses and the sound of swords clashing were heard.

“Die! You filthy demon!”

“Repent!”

Jupiter’s gaze naturally turned towards that side.

A group wearing blue holy robes was pouring out curses at a specific user.

Direct attacks were rare. It was as if they were only holding the user’s feet to prevent them from running away.

“Keueuk…”

“Evil demon. Acknowledge your mistake and kneel!”

“Then we’ll forgive you. For daring to hunt in our spot.”

As she got closer, their voices became clearer.

They were unforgettable users. Members of the Exorcist Guild were surrounding a Demon race user and forcing humiliating actions on them.

She could avoid getting involved. She could avoid getting caught up in troublesome things.

If she ignored it and passed by, if she followed the chain quest she had just discovered, it would soon be a forgotten scene.

But she couldn’t do that.

The Paladin of Light she had set up defined the Exorcist Guild as evil.

Jupiter slowly walked forward and drew her holy sword.

Seureureung- As the sword was smoothly drawn, golden divine power began to settle at its tip.

It wouldn’t be of great help. But it would buy her time to get out of the situation just once.

She didn’t even know the Demon race user’s nickname. The guild was unfamiliar too. It could be unnecessary meddling.

But Jupiter didn’t hesitate.

A huge shield appeared in her left hand holding the map.

Immediately after, she let out a powerful shout and charged forward.

“Hayaat!”

Although she was a small girl, the power contained within her was real.

Her stats, using the equipment transcendence system, far exceeded those of ordinary users.

Kung kung kung-!

As if a huge heavy equipment was rumbling across the ground, Jupiter emitted tremendous momentum and pushed away an Exorcist Guild member.

Kwang!

“Keu, keueok!”

As the Exorcist Guild member who had allowed a sudden attack rolled on the floor, all eyes turned to Jupiter.

Now is the time. Now is the chance. Jupiter shouted, planting her shield on the ground.

“Now! You Demon race over there! I’ll buy you some time!”

She didn’t utter words like retreat or escape. She didn’t know the user’s tendencies. If she touched his pride with the wrong words, Jupiter’s actions would be meaningless.

So. She’ll let him escape on his own.

“Heo…”

The Demon race user seemed a little surprised, then nodded and quickly retreated.

“Don’t let him escape!”

The Exorcist Guild was persistent.

A mage used a skill towards the escaping Demon race user.

The moment the mage user’s staff was swung.

A small girl holding a huge shield as big as her body stepped in front of him.

Jupiter realized as she moved.

Her body was lighter than before. It wasn’t the body that moved a beat late.

“W-Why… Paladin! Why are you protecting a demon!”

“Corruption! A corrupted paladin!”

They were the people she had been with just a few days ago, but they didn’t seem to recognize her.

Jupiter calmly took a breath and looked back.

Fortunately, the Demon race user seemed to have gotten away right away.

“Wait… that guy is…”

“Jupiter… the owner of the holy sword?”

The Exorcist Guild members belatedly began to recognize Jupiter.

The paladin who had a large build had become a small girl.

Even though it was in the game, it was hard to believe.

Soon, a dark malice began to swirl in the eyes of the Exorcist Guild members.

Jupiter calmly accepted their gaze and slowly opened her mouth.

“Why are you guys oppressing the Demon race user?”

“Why? You’re asking something strange. It’s because they are the Demon race.”

“Is that your personal opinion? Or the guild’s opinion?”

“We all share the same opinion.”

Jupiter nodded calmly at the answer.

The holy sword, emitting golden light, was aimed at the Exorcists with an unwavering and firm intention.

“I asked for the reason. Why are you protecting the Demon race user?”

“That’s right. Owner of the holy sword. It’s not too late, repent for your mistake and…”

“Because you guys are the Exorcist Guild.”

“… You’re not making any sense.”

The numbers are 5 to 1.

It’s a clearly disadvantageous fight.

The conversation between them disappears. A grim atmosphere descends immediately.

A situation where it wouldn’t be strange for anyone to move first.

It was the Exorcist Guild who attempted the first attack.

“Repent!”

The paladin on the Exorcist Guild side swung his sword.

Jupiter followed the attack with a calm gaze.

The stinging pain in her head worsened. It meant that it was getting close to the time to take her medicine.

If it were the usual Deron, Jupiter wouldn’t have even tried to avoid this attack.

She would have crouched down and blocked the attack with her shield.

But, if it’s now.

Seueuk-

She takes a step forward. It was a really light movement, but with that one move, she was able to deflect the opponent’s attack to the side.

The moment she avoided the attack, an expression of astonishment appeared on the opponent paladin’s face.

His upper body was wide open. He hurriedly tried to cover his body with his shield, but Jupiter’s hand moved faster.

There is not even a moment of hesitation. The command that started in her head is quickly transmitted and makes her body move.

Chwaak!

The brilliant golden holy sword executes the paladin defined as evil.

The expressions of the Exorcist Guild members were revealed beyond the long golden afterimage.

Everyone was blankly opening their mouths. They had an expression that they never thought their paladin would die in a single exchange of moves.

Jupiter frowned. The pain in her head was getting stronger. The stinging sensation began to spread like a white haze, stimulating her entire head.

It seemed like she needed to move up the time to take her medicine.

She had to quickly sort out the situation. Jupiter moved quickly and swung her sword.

“Eut! Keueuk!”

The Exorcist Guild members facing Jupiter felt a slight surge of fear.

As if she knew their actions in advance, all attacks were blocked.

After covering her body with a huge shield, she moved quickly and swung her sword.

Each time the long golden radiance flashed before their eyes, a guild member fell one by one.

“I-Impossible…!”

Jupiter slowly gasped for breath. The pain consuming her head intensified.

As if time had slowed down, everything seemed slow.

“W-Waaait-!”

The opponent’s words stretched out long. Time wasn’t actually slowing down.

It was because Jupiter’s thoughts were moving faster than others.

The pain spreading out in white became more severe.

Now is really the time to end it.

Jupiter swung her sword slowly.

The opponent seemed to be trying to avoid it, pulling his body away, but the holy sword wielded by the Paladin of Light pursued the evil she had defined to the end.

Chwaaaak!

She cut down the last opponent.

Jupiter immediately turned her body. She didn’t have time to be doing this.

The white pain spreading in her head was intensifying even at this moment.

Jupiter, who had arrived at a safe place, immediately logged out.

The small girl, Ellie, who opened her eyes with a bright light, slowly moved and crawled out of the capsule.

Ellie’s gaze checked the clock.

The clock was pointing to 6:30 AM.

The time to take her medicine was moved up by 30 minutes.

Ellie slowly walked towards the place where her medicine was prepared.

The speed at which she walked out of the capsule felt slow. It wasn’t just a simple delusion.

Even now, that speed was continuing to slow down.

As if the second hand of the clock had stopped, it moved very slowly.

One step at a time. It was painful to move forward.

How long did it take? Not much time would have actually passed.

3 minutes.

That was the perceived time Ellie felt while moving that short distance.

In reality, it would have only been a few tens of seconds, but it felt that way to Ellie.

There was prepared medicine on the small table.

The medicine that relieved the white pain spreading in her head. The medicine that allowed her to live a normal life like ordinary people.

Ellie’s small hand moved slowly and poured the pure white pill into her mouth.

The medicine soon began to take effect. Ellie collapsed to the ground as if she had crumbled.

The pure white pain that had been stimulating her head slowly subsided.

The slowed time began to return to normal.

[Ellie. The medication time is earlier than usual. Could the symptoms have worsened…]

“Shut up. I told you to mute.”

[But…]

“Be quiet. Don’t tell Dad.”

She didn’t like the AI ​​that was talking on its own.

Ellie frowned and took out a new medicine on the table.

It’s not a terminal illness, why are you making such a fuss.

Ellie muttered in a small voice.
