Estelle's magic wiped out Crocodiles Rex, but we continued to defeat Crocodiles for some time afterwards.

The sanctuary of the goddess has also expired, securing a safe zone and protecting it with me and ester.

I also skipped a sentimental bra, stabbed Excalibur directly with a dimension bracelet, etc., and the guys around me cleaned up coarsely.

"Looks like you're done knocking down a street."

"Right. But that big crocodile is still gushing, and it doesn't look like it's healed."

The numbers are a lot less than they were shortly after they sprung up due to the activity of the Knolls, but then again, particles of light have gathered and one crocodile after another has been added.

Gigas, of course, is in a state where Rex even springs up. When the hell will you calm down?

There have been hunting grounds anomalies before, but this time the speed at which demons gush is unusual.

If left unattended, it will undoubtedly be a level of imminent crusade.

"Still, how did Estelle's scaffold suddenly collapse?

"Um, it could be caused by something the demon that was flying through the sky threw at me. It's not normal for a ground built to withstand an explosion to collapse like that. Have you been interfering directly with the residual magic?

A red demon that was flying in the sky.

Maybe that was a rare species because it looked similar to Diabolus.

It's not like they attacked us, but Estelle's scaffolding collapsed like sand in an instant.

It's a mystery whether that was the ability of that demon or the effect of what he's thrown at it.

While I was thinking about it, the Grets, who were out on offense and hunting both Crocodiles, came back.

"Shit, what the hell is going on? I don't care how many demons you knock out at once."

"Is this what you call an anomaly? Surely you can't leave me alone."

"We have to make a fundamental solution. I'm about to run out of magic. Cruise, how many arrows are left?

"... tough"

"If this were normal, we'd already be hit. I'm glad I'm with Osakura and the others. I knew you were strong, Mr. Knoll."

At the end of Mr. Azery's gaze is Knoll's figure as he jumps off the lake and ends one crocodile after another.

Knoll wore an air shoe, so he seems to be using it to successfully move to the scaffold.

Even the occasional Rex opponent is horrified because he's killed instantly by one knoll.

And the other, also the figure of a cleric rambling around on his Crocodiles opponent.

He's grabbing his tail and swinging, hitting other crocodiles as he is, blasting his hands with prominence fingers and blowing them up right after he hits them, and cleaving them with magic blades.

I was confused by the crunchiness of the riots and softened up again...

When I was so frightened, Sissha finally came back.

"Hey, that's a pretty affordable demon. He's a killer."

"Absolutely, it's time for you to be a big man"

"There are a lot of them, so why don't you give them a little bit?"

Has Sisha's fighting instincts been lit because of all that came out at once?

Well, even though we were fighting, let's just say we also played a solid recovery role near Mr. Grett and the others.

Satisfactorily Sisha was wiping the sweat off her forehead, but Mr. Mars, with his eyes like seeing something frigid there, called out.

"... are you really a cleric? Aren't you a swordsman or a martial artist in a cleric's clothes?

"What are you talking about? I'm a clean cleric. Wasn't it proper to recover?"

"Yes, but I... I'm not convinced of everything."

"Ugh, don't worry about the details."

"Oh... I'm sorry I didn't even fight directly."

Yeah, speaking of which, it's like you said that the first time we met.

Seeing plenty of Sissha's battles, there may have been things I thought were different.

Nor came back to us after defeating Crocodiles to some extent.

"Phew, it keeps gushing whether you knock it down or not. Isn't this going to heal?

"Maybe you can't just keep knocking him down. Surely there was something erupting out of the lake before this happened, wasn't there? Shall we raise the bottom of the water there?"

"Right. Even if we keep knocking it down, it doesn't seem like we're going to cut it."

The demons were gushing together and distracted you, but just before that, light was erupting from the lake.

Maybe something's sinking in the bottom of the water there, so it's worth checking out.

I calm down the lake and check, some of it is black and cloudy.

Maybe there's something within that range, and it's discoloring under its influence.

Earlier Estelle took out the yellow grimoire and began to raise the bottom of the water again.

And we'll handle the crocodiles we've launched together, and we'll split up and look for anything.

I told Mr. Grett and the others about the jewelry and anticipation from my previous experience and started looking for it as I asked Estelle to remove the mud, but the task was difficult to navigate.

When I began to wonder if I could really find anything out of this, Mr. Mars called out.

"Hey, do you have any idea what this is?

Mr. Mars had a black gotten stone gripped in his hand.

Yeah? I thought I told her what I was looking for was something like a jewel.

"It just looks like a stone's throw, but what's wrong with that?

"That's what I looked like at first, too, but I was curious. Just in case."

"Okay. I'll have them check it out."

Mr. Mars seems sharp. If this guy cares, maybe there's something.

I checked the stone I received first, but it's just a stone that's gotten sloppy.

... I don't think so. Looks like you should show these to Estelle and the others.

"Estelle, Sisha, do you feel anything from now on?

"Oh, what's wrong with that stone?

"What is that stone... yeah? Give me a loan."

Upon receiving the black stone from me, Sisha began her close observation with it flat on her hands.

Estelle's leaning her neck like she's not sure, but does this reaction of Sisha still mean it's not just a stone?

"This is the same sign of the patron saint you felt in the temples and shrines."

"What, so you're saying this is Master Testudo's goddess?

"Probably...... but compared to what I've seen before, it's a lot of a disastrous mix of atmospheres. Let's just purify it."

Sisha wrapped her black stone with both hands and closed her eyes as she prayed.

Then both hands are wrapped in blue light, and objects like black smoke overflow from the gap between their fingers to extinguish them.

When it was over and opened the paired hands, the stone, which was black, was turning to gray.

"You could have done that."

"Ugh, about this time before breakfast."

"It's called the junction of the previous temple. You've made a lot of things called Sissha."

"Naturally. Isn't it! I'm a priest!

Sisha is bragging with her chest stretched.

If there wasn't even a place like this, I'd be a priest who seemed respectable.

"Osakura-kun, did you find anything?

"Oh, I found something that looks like Lord Testood's body."

"What! Was there such a thing!

I really don't know if it's Master Testudo's goddess, but if Sisha says so, it's likely.

But the temple was also like a black rock, but was it the effect of purification that greyed?

In the meantime, I found something that might make sense, so I decided to tell Mr. Grett and the others as well.

And also tell them that this could be Master Testudo's divine body.

"Speaking of which, when I went to the temple, I was prayed in front of a huge chunk. Is this part of that patron saint?"

"But why is there such a thing here? If that's what this has to do with, are those guys in the temple involved?

Hmm, like Mr. Mars said, it's a mystery why there was a part of your god here.

Mr. Estelle answered such a question.

"No, probably, but this is what we used to have at the temple. They could have taken it away without breaking it, but maybe they used it this time. I can't believe this is the way you use your gods."

What... I knew the monument in that temple had been taken?

And he said he used it to cause this abnormal outbreak of crocodiles.

If so, when the hell did you set this up?

Mr. Grett and the others found Diabols here about the same time we went to the temple.

Since there was a time lag a few days after the temple was attacked, did you take away your god in the meantime and set this up?

Were you wary that Mr. Grett and the others would find you after the installation and you would be in battle and someone might come?

If you think about it, you can see that there was that mysterious red demon.

But I don't know what I wanted to do by generating an anomaly here.

... Yeah, I don't know what I'm thinking, so I'll leave the discussion to Estelle later.

"We found out that this was the cause, and if Sisha purified it, would it be okay now?

"While defeating the springing crocodiles, we won't know if the discoloration of the lake will return for a while."

In the meantime, the causal deities were removed and purified, so whether or not the abnormal occurrence of crocodiles and the black-stained lake would return.

I was hunting Crocodiles for about an hour, checking on the lake... but the results were getting worse instead of healing.

The lake gets more and more eroded by black objects, and Crocodiles springs up even faster.

Looks like a hell of a picture of Rex springing up two at a time, too.

Mr. Grett and the others look anxious to see it.

"I'm not going back. Instead, is the erosion spreading?

"Oh, the clocodiles are gaining momentum fast, too. Are you sure you were able to properly purify your body earlier?

"You're rude. Even this persistent, oily curse on me can be beautifully refreshed."

Your body is undoubtedly purified by Sissha.

He doesn't seem like a cleric, but you can think of her powers as the highest of the clergy.

And if it doesn't heal... does it mean that the power of your divine body remains in the lake itself?

That's why it never stops, and the erosion may be continuing.

"Sisha, can't you even purify the black one that's eroding that lake?

"Oh, you had that hand. Shall we try?"

Having said that, Sisha prayed with both hands together, just as she had earlier... and began to squeeze her fists and beat her up.

And when I squeezed my sides tight, I screamed with an awesome voice.

"Ahhhhhhh!

It emits a blue light from all over his body, and its light converges on his squeezed right hand.

When I saw him, Mr. Mars called out to me.

"Oh, hey, are you really trying to purify this?

"Come on?

I don't care if you ask me... it doesn't look like I'm going to purify it.

Sissha, who roared as if she were going to transform, waved down its right hand whether the power had been saved.

"No, ahhh!

When you tap your fist into the ground, Dosun, makes a noise and rocks the ground, surrounded by a dazzling light.

When the light touches a black-colored lake, black smoke rises and turns into clear water.

Having seen the sight, Mr. Grett and the others raised their dismay.

"Wow... is this what purification is all about"

"I feel holy fluctuations... I've never seen anything like it"

"This is the power of the priest... wow"

"There's a mystery like you saw in the temple"

"No, that's something different..."

Only Mr. Mars has his face drawn.

Yeah, it's definitely a cleric's power, but I think something's different.

I prayed quietly when I was in the juncture, why do you yell up and punch me on the ground when you purify me... And it rocked a little.

Did you exhaust the power of purification, Sisha was exhaling with a feeling of doing it with her hands on her hips?

"Huh, it's been a long time since I've really purified you."

"Doesn't purification feel like praying quietly, like when you're a god? It's an attack now."

"Chip, that's sweet. Purification is the strength of absolute annihilation… it takes will. So, yeah, we need to do it and get in the mood."

"In a way, it's a Sissy Ha way..."

"Hopefully this will cure the anomaly properly later"

Then, safely, the power of Sisha's purification undone all the black lakes.

As always, there are a lot of penetrations, but only your power as a cleric is real...
