He was a jackass a long time ago, but not now.

For Elise, he was a person who was more respected and respected than anyone else.

He was betrayed in the North, and he was different.

Hunt the witch who spread the plague to the village.

You defend Lonia against the Earl of Vampires.

It has defended the capital city of the Holy See, prevented and integrated the Aslan War, and has also influenced many countries.

Now the Franz family has appointed a Savior to protect the world.

But he was too harsh.

No one supported him and tried to listen to his concerns.

He didn't even complain, and he didn't say his thoughts to others easily.

He only wanted to stand on the front lines and protect more people.

‘Again. ’

Ten thousand.

They are not giving up on an unimaginable group of refugees.

If we get all this back to the capital safely, it will truly be the miracle of Gaia.

I have performed many miracles to date, but the current situation has been a reckless adventure.

Obviously, if the Giant of Flame catches up to him this time, Holy Father Allen will choose to stay alone.

That's why Elise asked me to rely on him.

I thought I could share his burden.

“... Of course, I've always relied on you. ”

That's a lie.

He's been on so many adventures, he's been on his own.

That's what Elise said.

Alan looks surprised and says.

“Do you really think so? I relied on you for nothing but your help. ”

Elise frowns, and Allen clicks her brow.

“You just don't realize it. ”

“But.”

“Thanks to you, Brother Luan was able to live. ”

“Because you helped me, I was able to use my magic skills efficiently in the lands of Hilda. ”

Allen said, dressed in a funny suit.

“Aslan would have died without your help. Same thing happened to Qasim. He had a good time in Iceland. ”

Alan smiles and looks at her.

“Thank you. I honestly don't know how to repay that favor. ”

“I see...! ”

Elise shakes her head to the left and to the right.

That's ridiculous.

The help he gave could not have been so great.

He just happened to show up in front of him and happily answered the question.

I was only nearby when there was a crisis.

I never volunteered to help him.

As an Astorian family, I have never been of any help.

“That's what helped. ”

According to Allen, Elise has lost her words.

My heart was pounding and my emotions were shaking.

“If you feel that way, tell me a story. ”

“What…. ”

“Just like you used to be in the library. If you have any questions, I'd like you to answer them. ”

Allen says.

“That alone makes me rely on myself. Elise Astoria.”

Elise is stunned for a while.

She looks down and says.

“Of course. If you have any questions, I'll answer them as far as I know. Holy Father Allen Olfolds. ”

“Of course. About purgatory.... ”

Elise smiles.

She swore to herself answering his question.

As a family of Astoria, I will also assist him to the end as a saint.

I will stand with him no matter what trials may bring.

It really took me a long time to talk to him all night.

* *

Elise looks quite serious.

In a conversation, I was able to clear the air.

Was it that bad?

I'm just having a little muscle ache.

I felt something was a little off, but I wasn't seriously worried about it.

But the attending said nothing bad about it.

I took a rest in the wagon, following Elise's advice.

And I talked to her.

The march lasted for about five days.

Every time I talk to her until dawn, Elise naturally falls asleep. It was my job to blame her for that.

I looked up at the sky from the wagon.

The night was deep.

10,000 refugees sleep without a proper camp.

“Don't you want to rest? ”

Charlotte who was escorting the wagon told me.

Honestly, that's what I wanted to say.

“Don't you ever rest? I've never seen you sleep. ”

“You don't have to sleep this week. ”

“We need to stay in shape. ”

“I received the title of Sword King from Oskar. If your skills are this dull, you'll have to put down your title. ”

Amazing. The title of the Sword King.

I too had a superhuman body, but I was not confident enough to stay awake for a few days.

“The saint...”

Charlotte looks at the wagon for a while.

“I fell asleep.”

“I see.”

I looked at the refugees.

The Giant of Flame is asleep without even knowing it's coming.

“There were stragglers, right? ”

Charlotte, who was looking at the wagon, nodded, looking at me.

It seemed like an exaggerated march.

The stragglers happen, and they leave on their own.

It was a miracle that there were not more than 200 of them at most.

“I hope the deserters are safe. ”

“I'm sure he'll be fine. ”

Charlotte told me not to mind.

I don't really care that much.

I've been in a lot of battles, and I've seen a lot of death every time.

Mind your own business and you won't be able to stand it.

“What about the Giant in Flame? ”

“According to the Skirmisher, we've reached the edge. Maybe tomorrow morning. ”

“Yes."

I nodded.

Refugee formation will depart again in one hour.

And in a few hours, they'll catch up to us.

“Your Holiness, the decision is now... ”

Charlotte told me.

“If it's hard, I'll do it myself. ”

“I don't see their shadow yet, but why are you saying that? ”

Yeah, we're not there yet.

We don't have to leave anyone behind unless we see their shadow.

Charlotte also finds it difficult to die if she goes too far with me.

She won't stand a chance against the Giant of Flame.

“It's hot. ”

I fainted with my hand.

“I'll just summon the Holy Water nearby and take a bath. Elise said it would reduce your body's burden as much as possible. ”

Through Elise, Charlotte must have heard some of her condition.

Is that why?

“I'll escort you. ”

She didn't hesitate.

"... take a bath. ”

Charlotte tilts her head.

“It's okay, it's just a escort. ”

In the expressionless Charlotte, I found my forehead.

“I'm not okay. ”

“I'll do it for about an hour. That's how I know.”

“For an hour? ”

“Yes, Elise said it would take that long. ”

Perfect time for refugees to get up and march.

“Then, where you can see... ”

I clenched my fist and hammered her forehead.

"Charlotte Heraiz, this is an order. Stand by.”

"... I understand. ”

She shrugs slightly.

The grass is dead.

It was also a reaction I wouldn't know if I hadn't been with him for a long time.

“Thank you.”

I said so and went into the woods.

You dug a pit using a skeleton and summoned Holy Water there.

And using the branches around it, the skeletons made a model like a doll and put it in holy water.

You turn the robe over, write a letter, and drop it near the Pool of Holy Water.

Okay, that's it.

About 10 hours from now.

After that, the Giants of Flame approach.

So...

“... let's play the bait. ”

Let's buy some time.

Summoned Von Wyvern.

- Don't overdo it.

I remembered what Elise said.

The attending may be angry, so you'd better slow down.

I smiled lightly and climbed the Von Wyvern.

* *

“It's time to get ready to go! Everybody up!”

Charlotte's mighty voice echoes.

Elise dozes off and opens her eyes slowly.

In the faint vision, you see an empty spot across the street.

“Alan?"

Since it was convenient to mention the name in a private space, it was a title I took the liberty of using.

She rubs her palms against the dazzling eyes.

I gently wiped down the messed up head.

She looks over at Mofo and smiles softly.

It's like this every time.

For some reason, it's a time to be nervous, but it's fun to talk to him every night and look forward to that time.

She writes Mofo deeper.

When you open the door, you see the busy refugees moving.

Elise slowly steps down from the wagon and looks around.

I don't see Allen.

“Holy woman, are you awake? ”

Charlotte bows her head to Elise.

Elise also bowed her head and said good morning.

“Al…. Where is His Holiness? ”

“Your Holiness, you are bathing with holy water. ”

According to Charlotte, Elise was pleased.

There was nothing better than a patient who received good opinions and practiced.

“Is that so?"

“Yes, I've sent soldiers. Since you soaked yourself in holy water for about an hour, fatigue is somewhat... ”

“An hour?”

You said 30 minutes would be enough.

It doesn't get any better after an hour.

Elise tilts her head and pales.

"Really?"

Elise hurriedly boards a horse nearby.

“Elise?”

Elise looks around.

I never saw Allen again.

‘Again...! ’

That's why the Pope people...!

Elise grips.

I was filled with disappointment and betrayal.

I told you to count on it.

Why do you renounce your faith so much?

Elise looks at the refugees.

Mostly exhausted.

There are many patients.

We must not stop them from marching.

You must return to your home country as soon as possible and seek medical attention from the priests.

But Alan...

“Earl Charlotte. ”

Charlotte stops.

Elise told Charlotte.

“I want refugees. ”

I noticed something strange about Charlotte, too.

“Your Holiness... ”

“The bait I mentioned before, I'll do it. ”

Elise grits her teeth, twisting her words.

She's a saint, of course.

She has been training for a long time, and has also grown up with Allen's influence.

I also took the elixir and have been preparing for this day.

So...

“We can do this. ”

This time it will help him.

Elise sprints on her horse.

* *

A huge body that is 30 meters tall moves.

The earth echoes, birds in the forest rise.

You look at the flying birds of Shurt, the Giant of Flame.

At that moment, the bird's wings burn and fall.

The ground he treads on melts into a lava zone.

The forest is on fire.

The 70m is dragged to the land of the long flaming whip.

Giants surround themselves with hot rock armor and march forward with fire-covered weapons.

“Hello, there. Flame Stones!”

A new covenant with the Holy Spirit rang out.

Shurt reacts and looks to the right.

Above a hill in the forest about 200 meters away.

There is someone sitting on something big with a cloth.

Strangely enough, there are frosts.

Shurt narrows his eyes.

What is it? That little creature?

Shurt tilts his head.

You don't have to worry about it.

Those bugs will burn to death if they pass by.

What he wants is to kill Blur.

And it had to be somewhere far, far away, where there was a lot of life.

The goal is to make him regret it.

It will inflict burning pain and consume even the soul.

Shurt walks away, ignoring him.

“That's too much, don't you think? I'm a saint.”

Allen shouts.

Even Shurt's eyes were about to leave for Allen.

“Shurt!”

Shurt stops.

You got a name?

I looked at Allen with interesting eyes.

“Finally. ”

Alan leans forward with something wrapped in a cloth.

- I don't need worms.

“Bugs, I've got a gift for you. Are you gonna break my heart? ”

- A gift?

Makes me curious

I can't believe the bugs got beat up looking at themselves.

Alan points to something covered in cloth with his fingers.

“Do you know what this is? I kept it fresh for you in the item window.... ”

Allen pulls out the tent.

“The head of an ice giant Blurry. ”

Huge chunks of ice.

It was a blurry head with frozen tear marks.

Shurt's sweet-eyed eyes shake when he sees it.

Lava hits your cheek and spills out from under your eyes.

- Dare.

I hope so.

You stir the impression as you exhale a choking heat.

- You killed my brother!

Flames spread around him.

Burning stones fall from the body and explode.

I sprinkled black smoke and turned this area into a complete lava field.

Allen swallows a nervous, dry saliva.

‘Was he a brother?’

But I got good information.

Who knew there was brotherly affection between the yotoons?

Thanks to you, things have become easier.

We have a condition to taunt him.

“Were you a brother? I'm sorry about this! ”

Alan looks artificially sorry. And I clapped my hands as if I had an idea.

“Oh, well, here's the deal, Shurt. ”

Allen says in a playful manner.

“I'll send you to hell. Then there will be a brother-to-brother meeting in hell? My goodness, what a touching reunion. So Shurt.”

Alan shakes his head.

“Do not resist, but die with me. ”
