It's Munchkin Healer

“What was that? Humans... weren't they? ”

“Aren't they monsters? You have weird horns and legs! ”

“But we saw it, too. About... a year ago. Right here.”

A voice echoes through the dark basement.

The underground shelter where Tartarus disappeared was as vast as a bomb shelter, and was able to accommodate all nearby villagers, including the priesthood's troops.

“The one I saw last time? ”

“Weren't you the only one in the priesthood? ”

“Maybe...... it was all over the world. You know, evil gods. Including all that. ”

Several gazes spilled beneath Senior Priest Yoon.

Yun breathed and looked around.

The saint who just came down was silent.

Pierdo looks around, touching his spear, but doesn't open his mouth.

“D-don 't you know anything? I think they're demons. You know, fake saints fighting trials, demons fighting volcanoes, whatever! Maybe he's here for payback? I think it's perfect! Isn't that right?”

Yoon Hah said to refresh the atmosphere.

But she had no answer.

Pierre coughs and whispers low.

“Just calm down. I'll wait for you. You asked me to do this for a reason. Let's trust him.”

“I'm just saying. You can't even talk? ”

“People around me are listening. They're shaking as much as we are. That's why she's staying still. Calm down, Yoon Ha. ”

“Oh, right…… yes. Okay, I'm sorry. ”

In Pierre's words, Yoon Ha reacted.

Obviously, the people around you were listening to the officer's story.

Realizing that his turbulence is spreading around, Yun ducks quietly.

“ ……. ”

But Pierre's expression was dark.

When Sid's orders were to evacuate the villagers, he saw flashes falling from the sky.

Although no player had come directly near the priesthood, this anxiety was clearly communicated to the indigenous paladins here.

The fear of the end of the world was like a calm but chilling silence approaching.

Hah... A festival? Is this how the festival starts? I thought this game was gonna get better! That's why I married the natives and stayed quiet! And suddenly it's a festival!

Ah. Is this your first festival? It's not a big deal. It'll be over in ten days anyway, so just hide in peace. Then your warrior can live. Some of them survive every time.

But……!

Hmm. What about me? I don't want to be quiet while everyone's having fun. Should I come down?

You're going down there and you're going to kill them all? You're the priesthood!

I didn't say that. Why are you so excited?

I hate this festival! It's a festival, not a fire pit for healthy friends! This is a massacre! Terrible carnage!

Why are you so overwhelmed....

Come on, take it easy. We're not fighting each other. I can't help it.

Don't fight. Sometimes there are players killing each other over the festival. I can't help it if I have a loincloth.

It's horrible... This is not a festival... This is ridiculous...

And it wasn't just the warriors who were excited.

Some of the warriors.

The same was true of the players above the warriors.

Moreover, from the time the announcement came, the limitations on this world had vanished.

As long as the limit was lifted, everyone could go down, and some thought it was foolish not to go down when everyone else was enjoying themselves.

The priests and bandits were the ones left behind by the election and selection, but in the end, these characters were everywhere.

Oh, I don't know. I'm done. Why do you care if it's over anyway? This is such a great game? You can enjoy it with peace of mind.

A player just announced his intention to go down.

Stop! Stop! What the hell are you talking about? You want to turn this place into hell? Can't you see they're scared?

Ah, there you go. I admire you, but you don't. You can't force me. There are no restrictions. Do you need a facilitator? Let's see...

Stop it!

The priest who was watching tried to stop him.

There's the blue scarf! It's that way!

Something flew in with the thief's voice.

Tsk, tsk... Tsk!

“Unh!”

Sid's red spear pierced his apprentice hiller's neck.

My warrior!

“Sh, it's a raid! Attack!”

“Huff!”

“Huh…? But this is Saint's spear? ”

“Saint? Why? ”

A brief commotion caused a ruckus.

Phew... Tongue!

Sid grips the back spear and frowns.

Even if it was a little late, the player almost came down as a warrior.

Dead Hiller was innocent, but the best for Sid.

It's better to kill a warrior than to fight a player.

Saint! You can't do this! If you kill my warrior, what am I supposed to do?

I'm sorry, not here. You won't be able to pick a new warrior, so you'll have to stay overnight for a while.

Aaaah!!! I gave you a plate. Can we play? You scared the shit out of me!

In your logic, so am I. Whatever you do, you're free at last.

Aaaah!!!

The thief's voice roars.

But there was no other way.

We were unable to select new warriors during the festival, and the body that was to come was already killed.

“W-what's going on?! Why murder……! ”

A confused priest rushes in.

Sid looks down at the dead hiller with a bitter face.

“I was going to bring one down with me. I'm sorry, can you move the body? Be careful, he's innocent. Please.”

“Oh dear…… yes, I understand. ”

The priest listened to Sid.

There is no guarantee that Sid's words are true, but he has decided to do so for now.

‘Phew……. ’

Sid looks around at the people in the basement.

Paladins in golden armor and priests in white.

Hundreds of people were able to mobilize for battle, and the rest were only villagers who rescued humanitarians.

They were all terrified and waiting for Sid.

“Did the story go well? ”

The girl in a stagnant mood asked.

Everyone, including her, waited for Sid's word.

It was all a question of why you came here and why you just killed Hiller.

“I'll tell you everything from now on. Gather around here.Residents, Elves. Everyone.”

Sid looked around at a lot of people.

The history of the priesthood that began with a bad story a year ago.

Pierre, Yoon Ha, and Chris noticed, Kona, the 'head of the Elven Queen,' and many other people, including Kona's guardian, 'Jang Minh’, 'Ian’ the young paladin, ‘Miriam’ and ‘Dragon Dragon', who remained in this position.

Hah... What should I do? I'm not in the mood for this kind of thing. Do we have to dive or do we have to dive? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I thought Chris was gonna be cool. I'm finally getting along with him! Ahhhh...!

And some of these voices were familiar.

He was Sid's first player, Granger, who was embarrassed and didn't abandon Chris.

Although he was shy of the social tribe, he was not cruel enough to enjoy this festival.

Now I feel thankful for even this voice.

Everyone who was left here had to help themselves.

There are no lowered players nearby. I guess I lost interest because the city is clean. But there are some players who come here. About three. Looks like they know where the basement is. We don't have much time.

Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk hears the situation quietly.

Knowing the existence of the underground must have been players from the priesthood, but some of those who had been kicked out before came here.

“Tell me. I'll be right here. ”

“Speak, Saint. I'll do whatever it takes. ”

“Oh, I wonder! Tell me quickly! I'm dizzy!”

Mathis, Pierre and Yunha await Sid's words.

“I guess I'm nervous. Not like you.”

I smiled, sticking close to the purpose seed.

Seed saw them all and swallowed his breath.

Then I started talking in a loud voice.

“Demons have invaded from the sky. Names and guardians familiar to people from Earth. ”

“The Patron Castle? The Patron Castle came down? ”

“Wouldn't it be nice if the Patrons came down? Will the training be over soon? Are you here to pick us up? ”

“Shhh! I wouldn't call it the Devil if it was good! Let's hear it!”

Sid's words make a loud noise.

Players are silent.

Everyone listens to Sid as the situation is unfolding.

Tell them that the limits are gone, which means that everyone's cognitive abilities are broken. Everyone will understand if they try. Lead them all. You can try.

The bandits quietly cheer for Sid.

The beginning of the ‘festival’ meant that the restrictions on the world had disappeared, meaning that the ‘restrictions’ had disappeared, including the warriors and the natives.

Of course, it was not easy to spit out the story.

Every single word would raise questions, and some would scream in extreme horror.

But I had to.

If I didn't know the truth, I wouldn't know why I was fighting.

“Dearly beloved, You've probably heard of it. The story I heard when I first came here. You heard the man. Earth will be attacked. We will train our warriors to confront them. You've all heard the story. Right?"

“Yes, but.... ”

“What are you trying to say? I'm a little creeped out. ”

“What are you trying to say! Speak freely! ”

“We're fine! Tell me!”

The massive paladins shout.

But some of them knew.

From the moment his cognitive abilities were broken, most of them could reach the truth.

“The invaders in that story are the Patrons. Earth has already been invaded. We've been thrown into this world for their amusement, and there's nowhere on Earth that we can go back to being destroyed. If you stay, it's not good. It's not the world we used to live in. You've seen it in the movies, the aliens holding you captive, making you film battle royalties? That's the truth of the world. We've all been used. ”

“Huh…? ”

“No way.... ”

“W-what are you talking about! The destruction of the Earth! The guardian castles deceived me! ”

“No... no!!! ”

Disturbance has spread to Sid's truth.

Even though I knew in my heart, the truth was terrible.

It was hard to accept, as Sid and I tried.

How did you do that?

The saint knew all about it? How did you do that?

Did you realize that as soon as the festival started? It's not gonna be easy.

Of course, the players couldn't help but get excited.

But I was surprised by this.

More truth had to be with them.

“I'm sorry for hiding it. But I had to hide it. I knew something like this was coming, but I had to hide it from you. ”

“What happened to the friend who went back two months ago? Where did he go? ”

“My mother! I wish I was the only one back. ”

“It can't be that bad... You've been good to me! He said he believed me! ”

“That's a lie! The saint is deceiving us! Earth can't be gone! ”

“Please tell me you're lying! Please, everything...! ”

Boom!

“Quiet!”

Pierre slaps his spear in front of him.

The ground shot by the spear sinks, and everyone is silent because of the loud sound.

Pierre meets Sid with his mouth shut.

Pierre was the first person to believe in Sid at the time of Tartarus, so he decided to trust Sid again.

“Quiet, everyone. So what are you saying? I followed the Saint and saw things, but now I'm not surprised. Has our world also been invaded? Gaian and the Elves were invaded a long time ago, right? ”

“Yes. I'm sick of this world and I'm going to kill us all. Killing us all and moving on to the next world. Defensive beings have been repeating this terrible game for thousands of years. I didn't realize this because of the cognitive abilities that they were blocking. ”

A commotion erupts from Sid's words.

It was not easy to calm them down.

The gods came down and killed them all.

It was a moment when the end that I did not want to imagine would actually come true.

“But I intend to fight. So I need your help. If we fight together, we can win. As we did here a year ago, let's face it together. ”

What the hell!

Such a plan……!

Ha, I didn't hear anything. I'm leaving! Don't let them get to you!

Players were also confused.

Resisting the game was an unimaginable story.

Sir, the saint is crazy. This can't be happening!

Sir! You can leave now. If we were with the saints...!

Calm down, everyone. We've been doing this terrible thing for a long time. I've watched countless worlds crumble and countless possibilities be trampled under the name Yuhui. We have a responsibility. I'm responsible for leaving the responsibility of the gods to protect humanity and paying for my sins.

Sir! Sir!

Even you...!

And there was a voice that agreed with this.

He was a ‘priest’ who always showed his personality.

Sid looks up at the ceiling quietly.

I've been hiding that I can hear voices, but now it's time to reveal everything.

“And I hope that the people up there can help me. Players, please. ”

What? What?

Huh...?

Can you see us?

You know us?

How...!

A lot of voices were embarrassed.

What the hell...!

Some of them were 'Granger’, Sid's first player.

I'm sorry to tell you now. The saint can hear us. From the moment I met you...... I wanted to end this game with the power of the saint. I'm sorry to break it to you.

The thief looks at the horse with a soft voice.

Sid watches everyone making noise.

The once-in-a-generation commotion did not calm down, and it was widespread to the public that they should flee alive rather than confront God.

“If it's the Guardian, how can you resist?" They're... gods! He's literally a god! ”

“We can't! Hundreds of people were killed by a Tartarus monster! We can't win if we all die! ”

“Saint! Don't let us die! ”

“Saint!”

“Saint!!! ”

“ ……. ”

Sid hasn't spoken for a while.

How do we convince all of them?

How do we get rid of the fear that's spreading across all of them?

Width…….

At that time, warmth spread with both hands.

Metis grips one hand with a worried expression, and Mirai grips the other with a round eye.

Dude, don't do anything! Usually, you're the one who's always bragging! Cut me loose! You've always been good at it! Show me what you can do again!

Tsk Tsk Tsk shouts at Sid.

At that moment, something came to mind in Sid's head.

What is the most important thing when fighting against God?

It was power.

He had to show that the same being was with him.

“The gods are with us! We will never fight amongst ourselves! ”

Sid's voice echoes through the square.

Then the noise subsided.

But the fear that spread among the people did not calm down easily.

“But our faith alone.... ”

“Fighting God...... is not enough to believe in God! ”

“Saint...! ”

“Saint!”

The voice grows louder and louder.

“Kana.”

Sid opens his mouth quietly.

I'm sorry?

“Come down to me. You come down here and prove everything. Priest, please come down and show us. Show them that we are with the gods. ”

Then I spit out what I was thinking about for a while.

The priests and bandits I had heard about were embarrassed.

What the hell?

Are you sure you're okay? But don't use the body of an attempt...!

But hope is the only thing that can calm things down.

Only visible hope was able to overturn the atmosphere.

Just like the ‘priests’ who reversed the atmosphere in the Battle of Tartaros, only visible hope was able to convince them all.

“Get down before I change my mind. I feel weird, but this is the answer. ”

“Phew…! Is she coming down?”

Mirai asked as if it was interesting.

“What? What the...? ”

Mathis muttered in a confused voice.

Good! A saint always has a good answer. If we go down there, everyone will be happy! You guys, you guys! Everybody down!

But this...!

Fight the Supreme Leader!

Ugh. I don't know... What the hell!

Thung!

Soon, light falls on the spot where Sid was.

Thung!

The second light fell to where Yoon-ha was.

“Ugh…! ”

Mirai felt that her hand had changed.

Mathis opens his mouth, feeling a different hand.

The first thing I felt was a strange fragrance mixed with perfume, but the unfamiliar but familiar feeling was the fragrance of a familiar woman I had heard from Sid.

“ ……. ”

The woman comes down to the ground, her eyes slowly open.

Woman with brown skin and deep eyelashes with a Middle Eastern feel.

Wigshakania swallowed her breath as she felt the throbbing of her body.

And the moment she came, all the priests lost their words.

At the appearance of the goddess, my faith suddenly spread.

“It's the Virgin... …. ”

“The Virgin came down...! ”

“Holy Mother! Mother's down!”

“Lady!!! ”

Although the name wasn't quite what she expected, of course.
