Girl Paladin Jupiter

A suspicious shadow was quietly tailing the Blood Demon King’s party.

Jupiter quietly followed behind that suspicious shadow.

“Hayat!”

Jupiter blankly watched Yeon, the Blood Demon King, hunting.

Seeing her mow down a giant bear with clean and elegant swordsmanship, admiration came out involuntarily.

Indeed, she is the opponent I, Jupiter, have acknowledged as a rival.

‘If only I didn’t have this pain…’

Jupiter sighed in regret. If it weren’t for the white pain that was consuming her head, she could have had a good match with the Blood Demon King.

Jupiter gave a bitter smile and carefully watched Yeon’s movements.

It’s the optimal swordsmanship tailored to her small body.

Jupiter thought.

If I, Jupiter, were in that position, how would I move?

She draws a blurry picture in her head.

Overlapping her own figure over the Blood Demon King Yeon’s body, she recalls her own swordsmanship.

At that moment, the shape of the blurry shadow that had been on the hill began to become clearer.

Clad in blue holy robes, he had a dagger hanging from his waist.

A rogue user. As expected, a rogue user was using stealth to watch the Blood Demon King’s party.

What is a rogue? Isn’t it a job that hides in the shadows and cowardly ambushes?

Definitely not good intentions.

Jupiter carefully got up.

Although she might not be of much help in this state, she could at least send a signal to the Blood Demon King’s party that there was an enemy.

Jupiter drew her sword without hesitation. A Knight of Light never forgives an opponent once they’ve been defined as an enemy.

“Haaaah!”

Kung kung kung-!

Jupiter, running roughly with heavy footsteps, swung her holy sword at the rogue user.

Shwaaaak-!

The holy sword, imbued with golden radiance, cut through the empty air.

The full-force strike missed. Jupiter’s body swayed greatly.

“What…?”

The rogue user, having evaded Jupiter’s attack, tilted his head and looked at the staggering Jupiter.

It was a movement full of余裕 (yeoyu, composure). He didn’t seem to feel any sense of crisis at Jupiter’s surprise attack.

Her body is heavy. It doesn’t listen properly.

At that moment, Jupiter’s large body swayed greatly and began to fall down the hill.

“Kueooooh!”

It was quite a height. The fall damage would also be enormous.

Jupiter braced herself for the great impact to come and tightly closed her eyes.

Kung!

The moment she hit the ground, it felt as if a blunt weapon had struck her back.

The full health she had drops to the bottom.

Jupiter barely righted her dizzy vision and managed to get up.

“Hyeo, Blood Demon King!!!”

Jureureuk-

Blood flowed out from under her helmet.

But she didn’t care. She had to inform her only acknowledged rival of the enemy’s attack.

“Jupiter…?”

“Why are you here…”

“It’s an enemy attack!!!”

The moment Jupiter finished speaking, over a hundred pillars of light plunged down onto the pale rocky mountain.

Kugugugung-!

It was as if a rain of light was falling.

Jupiter blankly looked up at it. The pillars of light continued to fall. It must have been that rogue using a summons order.

“Summons order…?”

The moment Yeon muttered blankly while looking at the pillars of light, a blue flash was fired at her.

Taang-!

The flash, piercing through the pillar of light, trails a long tail.

Jupiter blankly watched the scene. She could see it. She could tell just by hearing the sound.

That the blue flash was aiming for Yeon’s head.

But-

Kaang-!

The quickly swung magic sword deflects the blue flash.

It’s the figure she’s always seen. Watching the brilliantly shining girl, Jupiter felt an unknown throbbing.

“Don’t give them an opening!”

Tang! Taang!

Tang!

Taang!

Along with the shouts coming from the hill, sniping began from all directions.

Archers and mages, and not only that. Rogues who appeared from within the pillars of light were using stealth and coming down the hill.

“Ee, eeeek!”

It’s not enough to block them alone. She needed a brief opening. An opening to use the summons order.

Jupiter got up from her seat. Vitality began to return to her body, which had been on the verge of death.

It was because of the great divinity that burst out from that body.

“Kill the fallen paladin too!”

“Uwoaaa!”

However, Jupiter couldn’t approach Yeon. It was because of the numerous spells that began to fall towards her.

Fire, ice, and lightning beat against her huge body.

All Jupiter could do was hold up her shield and crouch down as much as possible.

“Kueueuk…!”

If she can’t approach, she has to make them come over here.

Jupiter shouted, planting her holy sword into the ground.

“Blood Demon King! Come this way!”

Yeon’s gaze reached Jupiter and then fell away.

However, Yeon didn’t approach Jupiter.

Yeon couldn’t trust Jupiter, who had suddenly appeared.

She was grateful for the help she had given her guild, but they were rivals pointing swords at each other. It was hard to trust her easily.

But-

Jupiter was desperate.

“Blood Demon King! I, I’ll buy you time!”

Yeon couldn’t understand Jupiter’s actions.

Why on earth was she trying to help her?

As she was harboring such doubts, Helena, who had been hiding behind Yeon, moved.

She used Blink to move behind Jupiter.

“He, Helena!”

“Blood Demon King-isiyeo!”

In the end, Yeon had no choice but to move as well.

It was safer to have a large meat shield by her side than to protect Helena alone.

Yeon nodded and rushed towards Jupiter.

The quickly swung ominous magic sword cuts through magic and blue bullets.

It was a number of attacks that would have killed an ordinary user more than 10 times over.

The Exorcist guild members, who had been pouring out ranged fire, looked at the three below with tired expressions.

Looking at that, they are convinced. That they are not human.

They were definitely demons.

It was the moment when the Exorcist Guild’s belief became even stronger.

Jupiter, immediately after confirming that Yeon had entered her skill range, raised her shield high.

It was the most powerful protection skill she could currently use.

[Holy Shield]

Kwang!

A giant shield of light that fell from the sky surrounded Jupiter and blocked all attacks coming from around her.

“Now, now is the time!”

The maximum time she can block is limited to 3 seconds.

Jupiter bit her lip, looking at the faintly shimmering shield of light.

3 seconds is a short time, but it was an adequate time to use the summons order.

Yeon nodded and took out the summons order.

3.

2.

1.

The shield of light begins to scatter.

Jupiter looked at Yeon with eyes full of anticipation.

Soon, with a confident expression, she would summon her subordinates to this place.

Because it was always like that. That was the Blood Demon King’s 모습 (moseup, appearance).

However, the pillar of light she had been waiting for did not fall.

“Uh…?”

The emotion that appeared on Yeon’s face was embarrassment.

The summons order held in her hand was scattering unstable light.

“Yeon-a?”

“I, it won’t activate!”

It won’t activate, could it be the summons order?

Jupiter bit her lip and raised her shield high. Attacks were flying in again.

Kung-! Kwagagagang-!

“Eeeeek!”

Just as Jupiter was using her shield to block the attacks, Yeon also began to swing her sword and deflect the attacks.

“Why, why won’t it activate!”

“I can’t use it! It said I can’t use it because of a strange magic!”

The chance for a comeback was gone. Jupiter looked at Yeon, who was swinging her sword, with a pale expression.

The demon wings spread behind her were shaking precariously.

“E, eeeeee!”

Jupiter felt a strange sensation while watching Yeon’s actions.

Right-

Kaang!

This time, left-

Kaang!

An attack that bends from the very center to the right is coming.

The moment she thought that, Yeon’s magic sword bent at a strange angle and brushed away the curving magic.

Kaang!

“Hyeo, Blood Demon King-isiyeo!”

“Don’t talk to me! I’m busy!”

Could it be.

No. She can’t be sure yet.

To be talking and moving like that in that white pain, there’s no way.

Wasn’t it as if she was freely manipulating that white pain?

But…

Maybe…

At that moment, something blurry began to approach from afar.

The rogues who had entered stealth mode had begun their actions.

At this rate, everyone will die. Jupiter slowly opened her mouth.

“Blood Demon King-isiyeo. Do you perhaps know about the white pain that consumes the head?”

“What…?”

Why are you able to move?

How can you maintain that state and have a conversation with someone else?

“How can I…”

“What are you saying!”

Kaang!

“How can I do that?”

If Yeon, she, is suffering from the same illness as herself, if she can perfectly control that illness unlike herself.

No, maybe it wasn’t an illness at all. It might be a vain hope.

“Blood Demon King. Just once. I can open a path. Witch of Fire-yeo, you must help me.”

“Wh, what…? Witch of Fire…?”

“I ask for time acceleration.”

The GM handed Jupiter a transformation item.

Saying that she could return to her original form whenever she wanted.

Helena looked at Yeon with a complicated expression.

In this situation, the only person who can create an opening is Yeon, no matter what anyone says.

With her talent, if she used time acceleration for a momentary acceleration, she could open a path.

However, if that happens, Helena and Jupiter will be left behind.

Not everyone can get out.

“Blood Demon King-isiyeo, enter that time.”

The moment Jupiter finished speaking, her huge body began to shrink with a faint light.

Her huge height of over 180 became the figure of a small girl.

“Wh, what is it…?”

There was no time to answer the Blood Demon King’s question.

Jupiter strongly suppressed the faintly rising medicine.

Kung-!

Her heart beats loudly, and hotly heated blood rushes over her head.

Soon after, the white pain came.

Jupiter’s gaze quickly scanned the surroundings. From right to left-

The shield she was holding in her hand went down, and the sword that had been drooping went up.

Kwagang!

The sensation transmitted to her hand is heavy.

Jupiter frowned and threw off her helmet. Her attack range had gone awry because her vision was limited.

The pain becomes clearer. The moment the pain, as if her entire head was being dyed white, crossed the line.

The sound becomes infinitely distant, and all senses expand.

1 second becomes 10 seconds, and those 10 seconds become 20 seconds again.

Time begins to stretch.

She finally reaches that time.

In the gap of stopped time, Jupiter was always the only one who was free.

But it’s different now.

The moment Jupiter’s eyes met Yeon’s, she could be sure.

There’s no mistake. She is sharing the same time as herself.

As expected, she is the rival I, Jupiter, have acknowledged.

Jupiter swung her sword slowly, very slowly, but quickly.

She wasn’t afraid of the white pain that was consuming her head. It was because she realized she wasn’t alone.

While Jupiter was feeling the white pain, Yeon was also feeling the same white burning pain as Jupiter.

Jupiter follows. She sticks close. No, she even goes one step ahead.

Yeon watched Jupiter’s actions and blankly opened her mouth.

In the stopped time, after the two exchanged glances, the girls holding the holy sword and the magic sword began to fend off all attacks as if they were one body.

It’s a flowing connection. It doesn’t stop. The smoothly connected movements were full of 여유 (yeoyu, composure).

Now is the time. Yeon winked at Helena, who was standing behind her.

At that moment, Helena’s staff strongly struck the ground, using time acceleration on Jupiter.

The balance that had been running similarly is tilted.

The white cloak flutters and scatters like angel wings.

The words that she would open a path were true. A white path unfolds behind Jupiter, who quickly ran out.

Kwagagagang!

Now is the time.

Yeon put her hand on Helena’s waist, who was standing behind her, and rushed forward.

She can’t escape from this place with ordinary methods.

Yeon threw herself down the rocky mountain without hesitation.

Behind Yeon, Jupiter also threw her body down.

Along with her white scattering hair, her white cloak spread out like angel wings.
