Hi, I'm Sin the Holy Knight.
My profession on status is still a knight...
In the Holy City of Sanctum, soldiers who protect the Virgin are given the title Holy Knight.
Sacred knights in status can easily be confused with their profession, but they can't be the first saints unless they're the brave ones from different worlds in the first place, so it's not a big deal.
Well, it's pretty hard to be a holy knight, a soldier of the Virgin's escort in Sanctum.
Combat ability, aptitude testing, loyalty to the Virgin and faith in the Creator God will be the subject of scrutiny. Besides, even if you passed the screening safely, the fucking tough training days that followed.
Through them, I can finally be your escort with the Virgin. And last month, I finally became the Holy Knight to protect the Virgin.
I was so happy.
Holy Virgin, she's so beautiful.
You've been admiring me since I was a little girl.
I swore to the Creator that I would protect the Virgin, even in exchange for this life.
Not only does the work of the Holy Knight protect the Virgin in the Holy City, but it's also an important part of her escort when she goes out of the Holy City.
The Virgin leaves the Holy City about once every three months, tours all kinds of countries, and saves people in her miracle business. I think it's a very honorable deed.
This is my first expedition escort for the New American Holy Knight. I didn't have any problems going and staying in various countries.
On the way home - we were already raided when the outer walls of the Holy City reached a far-sighted location.
About thirty bandit-like guys attacked us.
By contrast, there were ten Holy Knights to escort the Virgin, including me, but there's no way we'd lose if we were just bandits.
─ ─ If you're just a bandit.
Those bandits were unusual.
One of the bandits is not frightened of being cut off his arm in the attack of a senior saint, but is attacked by a senior saint, who bites him in the neck.
Five seniors were hit in the first clash.
The bandits don't seem to feel any fear, and even if they lose their hands and feet, they're attacking them like puppets being manipulated by something.
If you crush your head or chop off your neck, you won't be resurrected, so the four remaining seniors and I managed to bring down about twenty bandits.
There are eight remaining bandits.
At this rate, I can protect the Virgin.
That's what I thought. The arrowhead...
The seniors started falling one after the other.
Looks like the weapons the bandits were using were powerfully poisoned, and just cussing the bandit attack was out.
I'm the only remaining saint.
But I'll make sure only the Virgin protects her.
Me, I'd say it myself, but I'm pretty strong. Even if we deal with the nine seniors on this expedition together at the same time, maybe we can win.
Because we have the Devil's Eye where we can see their magic.
All the strong ones are going to attack by moving their magic inside their bodies. The magic of a strong man moves faster than flesh. In other words, if you can see the flow of magic flowing through your body, you know what you're going to do next.
It seems like a method that can't be used by those who attack without moving their magic, but most of them aren't strong enough, so we won't lose.
Because I've been training to die since I was a little girl to protect the Virgin.
That's why I didn't let them plunder the enemy attack, and I took out about ten bandits on my own. I couldn't afford to protect the seniors.
...... sorry.
There are eight more bandits.
Seven of them can be defeated.
The problem is the bossy guy in the deepest part.
That's the only one who didn't have the same level of magic as the rest of them. I've never seen anything like it - it was an impossible amount of magic in humans.
Maybe, but he's a demon.
I was asking, but it's a hell of a magic trick.
I've got ten of us, and I think I've managed to get to the right level with that boss.
I think this demon is manipulating the bandits. Because you saw the bandits' heads tangled with the magic of their bosses.
The boss used his men to attack us, and he hasn't moved yet.
Then I'd like to think of taking down all my men and then trying to attract the boss and get the Virgin to run away in the meantime, but...
"You go get the Virgin. I'll deal with him."
The boss got in front of me.
... nasty.
Despair like a human being is right in front of me.
Did the boss want to fight me? The magic around him was swelling up rapidly.
I can't take my eyes off the boss.
Maybe I'll die the second I look away.
I can't move either side of me, and the bandits slip through to the carriage where the Virgin is riding.
"Holly Lance!!"
Magic was unleashed from the carriage, and four bandits pierced it and vanished.
It is the magic of the Virgin.
"Sin, you run away"
At some point, the Virgin who got out of the carriage rushed up to me and said so.
The voice was shaking a little.
Maybe the Virgin also realizes that this bandit's boss is not the only one.
Still, the Virgin stared at the boss and pointed the rapier in her hand at the boss.
The fact that the Virgin remembered my name not long after she was assigned made me happy, despite this critical situation.
"Protecting the Virgin is my mission, isn't it? Running away..."
My demon's eye sensed three bandits with daggers walking behind the Virgin's back killing sound.
"No!
I slaughtered three bandits and lay low.
Thanks to the Virgin's gaze and Rapier's pointing at the boss, I was distracted from the boss.
This makes the war a lot easier.
All you have to do is let the Virgin get away with it.
I can never defeat this boss, the Demon Man.
There was a chance that the Virgin could defeat even the Devil.
If only the Holy Magic from the Creator had remained...
There was hardly any more holy magic left in the Virgin, who continued to use her miracle business throughout the world.
Maybe this demon attacked us in this place for it.
But I can already see the Holy City, so if the Virgin runs away, all I have to do is stop the Devil.
You can't beat a demon, but you can hold back.
Because we have demon eyes.
The ability of the Devil's Eye is not just to see the magic of others.
Another ability of the Devil's Eye - it's the ability to stop what you're seeing with the Devil's Eye.
Well, you lose ten days of life while you stop at one second.
My status board with this demon eye says the rest of its life.
Skill: Demon Eye Life: 3050 days
My life expectancy is about ten more years.
I've used the Devil's Eye quite a bit, so I've lost a lot of it.
Still, with all the remaining life expectancy, you should be able to stop the demon from moving for five minutes.
"Holy Virgin, I will stop the devil from moving. I want you to run as far as the Holy City as you can in that gap."
If you go into the Holy City, you won't be able to do much with the devil. Until the Virgin enters the Holy City, if she has a life expectancy, I win!
"Sin, you, no way..."
The Holy Knight cannot hide from the Virgin, so of course the Virgin knows about my Devil's Eye.
Sounds like you've probably noticed what we're trying to do.
"The seniors fought for their lives, but I'm the only one who survived - and you don't think it's a good thing about bugs. Absolutely, the Virgin protects you. Even for the seniors, I want Master Seira to run away!
I called you by your name for the first time.
Well, it's the last one... okay?
"Hmm, I don't know what you're going to do, but don't think you can get away from me (...), etc.?
─ ─ !?
Suddenly he called from behind and turned around surprised, and there was another demon there.
As far as magic is concerned with the Devil's Eye, he had almost the same power as the Devil from the beginning.
And there's only one object that can stop time with my demonic eyes. Besides, it takes a few seconds to switch subjects.
It's over.
I have two demons in front of me who can only hold back with their demon eyes in exchange for life expectancy.
"Sorry, call it in. The Virgin, who could be an obstacle to the coming Demon King, wants to make sure that it is erased here."
"Oh, I don't mind. You should get rid of your marionette as soon as possible."
"Right."
I pinched the Virgin and two demons started a conversation.
The devil said the demon king would be resurrected.
He's definitely going to kill us, so he's got a light mouth.
Well, there's no way to tell the Holy Capital about this.
Two demons began to gather vast amounts of magic in each hand. Enough magic to see without having to be a demonic eye anymore.
The magic became a bulbous mass over the heads of the demons. It's a mass of malice and death.
"Farewell, Virgin, and proud knight. Your loyalty and the strength of your soul, I don't hate it."
I wouldn't be happy to be praised by a demon.
Well, if it's enough to compliment you, don't miss it.
The demon's hand was waved down.
Death is imminent.
At the end of the day, he became a knight on the shield of the Virgin.
That's crazy.
There was a blast, and I'm pretty sure the magic the demon unleashed exploded...
I'm still alive.
And the Virgin.
When I opened my eyes, there was a translucent dome around me and the Virgin, which prevented two demons from attacking.
When I saw the Virgin, I shook my head sideways, so this doesn't seem to be the Virgin's union.
In the first place, no matter how much the Virgin can prevent two demons from attacking without the support of a cleric.
So, who the hell is this junction?
Actually, you already knew the answer.
Besides me and the Virgin, there was another young man with dark hair.
