“I understand the opinion that it would be better not to risk to protect civilians.”
People’s reactions to the first words spoken by the saint after breaking the long silence are mixed.
But the reaction is not disappointnt and joy. It’s more like accepting the result calmly. People seed to have already noticed the saintess’ intentions, but they seed to be waiting for a word that was persuasive enough for everyone here to understand.
“However, they are the young children of the Demon God, whom we swore to protect, and at the sa ti, they are also warriors who have decided to fight injustice by leaving their ho. Of course, there are children who know nothing. ”
It is true that we want to keep civilians as safe as possible. I hope there is not a single casualty. However, this place was still a Demonic Spirit, and not only was there a long way to go, but there were also many enemies.
“Yes, those in Leithor are just like them. I think… the only difference between them and those we embrace is that they are those who have joined and those who have yet to join.”
I hope it doesn’t co out, but there will definitely be casualties. However, abandoning Raitor to reduce the number is no different from arguing to use those who have not yet joined as bait to protect those who have joined, isn’t it?
With that in mind, my opinion was solidified in the direction of Raitor. This ti, it was a decision made with less self-interest towards the special operations departnt.
“Is that why? The idea of giving up Lightor for their safety… I thought it might have originated from the desire to avoid an uncertain crisis by using those who decided to join us as an excuse, even though it only seed plausible on the outside. .”
Fortunately, the saintess was of the sa opinion as .
“For that reason, it is hard to agree with the argunt that we should give up the uncertain lighter for their safety.”
If it was simply a move for survival, there would have been such an option, but it was not for such a simple purpose that we embarked on this long journey.
We shouldn’t make that choice now.
“If you turn your back on Leitor, we’ll have to gather what’s left, stand in front of him and say, ‘To protect you, we pretended not to see the imdiate threat to others who supported the Church and the Demon and sought justice.’ And in the hardships that will follow, we will always have to repeat the sa excuse whenever we are put at a disadvantage.”
The saintess, who calmly looked around and expressed her opinion, stopped in front of .
“Can we really be confident when we stand in front of the devil after repeating that excuse over and over again?”
Then, even the eyes that had been focused on the saintess were now focused on . Seeing that the saintess had no intention of saying anything in particular, it seed that the end was up to .
Pretending to be calm on the outside, but sweating on the inside, I thought about how to make it a finish that would convince them, and then I ca up with a line that fits the situation and put it in my mouth right away.
“Excuses are useless when Epa stands in front of you. Soone told her to do it, or she couldn’t help it at the ti… Things like that don’t work.”
Even Epaga-sama read her thoughts, so it wasn’t even wrong. It was the mont when I realized that one thousand and one Eldmia are working hard today too. I finished my words while looking at the eyes of the people who were getting bigger and bigger.
“Rember that fact.”
I felt a little guilty because of the proud gaze of the saintess who nodded vigorously among the admiring people as if she was impressed, but the effect was great.
The unanimous decision to go to Leitor was an instant. There was nothing I could do to help put together a specific plan, so I escaped for a while and took a breath. The saintess quietly followed after and opened her mysterious ax eye and spoke to .
“I’m asking just in case, but you haven’t lied to the demon, have you?”
Could it be that doubts that I hadn’t even thought of ca to the surface? It seed that if I hesitated, I would withdraw my unspoken praise and pride at any mont, so I instinctively felt a sense of playfulness, but since I had just made a serious decision, I decided to put it aside for a while.
“How could you lie to a mind reader?”
“Hmm, hmm. You answered so naturally, so I asked just in case. It was a really great statent.”
I didn’t bother to say that it was because it wasn’t entirely from my head.
“If there is a special operations departnt, we will fight.”
Instead, I decided to make sure my actions in Leitor were clear. Since she was a saintess who understood my actions to so extent, there was no need to elaborate on this or that, but I couldn’t help but worry about the situation that I might be in danger.
“…Soha Shinore earned the nickna Sinore of Extermination while defending the capital.”
But the direction of that worry was strange. It’s not like there was only him in the Special Operations Departnt, but I didn’t feel any hesitation from the saintess who pointedly ntioned him.
“It’s as if you’re sure he’ll be there.”
“That’s why only Soha Shinore maintains such high notoriety among the special operations departnt.”
Fortunately, I didn’t misunderstand her intentions. The saintess looked at for a mont with eyes filled with confidence, then moved her gaze to the moon floating in the sky and continued her explanation.
“He is always active in large-scale events within the Demonic Territory. Since gaining the nickna of ‘annihilation,’ he has beco the surest ans of intimidation. Even the attendants who accompany him for this purpose are organized around wizards specializing in space movent. He said.”
I was surprised by more information than I thought, but soon realized that it was obvious and stopped asking questions.
As Count Timshive said, he was once even said to be a hero. If the church hadn’t investigated, it would have been dereliction of duty. So what I want to ask you now is about the character Soha Shinore.
“The spear that was used to destroy the rebels, was it a holy spear?”
Judging from the information I’ve heard so far other than when he first appeared, he wasn’t very old. At best, it was on the sa level as Siegfried or sowhere around it. maybe it’s like
It is by no ans a common case that such a guy had the power to unilaterally blow 80% of the army at a ti when it was not even a few years after the outbreak of the war.
I’m sure I’m a guy who can’t be fooled by nonsense wherever I go, but I think it’s possible because I was a warrior, unlike the way I knew myself to be a mutant hardworm until I knew Epaga-sama had arranged it. If it had been an aura rather than magic right now, I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish even half of the things I’ve been doing so far.
Even now that I have a limited wide-area weapon called Este Beam, there is no way to blow 80% of the troops in one shot when facing the demon army.
Even if he has the qualities of a genius archmage, it is absolutely impossible at the age we expect. Sungchang naturally cos to mind.
But the saintess just shook her head.
“The church directly investigated the traces, but could not find them. Rumors that he was not a hero only spread from the civilians, so even if he requested cooperation in the investigation, it was only rejected. Called.”
I couldn’t even feel the remnants of the evil spirit, so I had no choice but to leave it alone. However, the saintess explained that various news flowed in because they did not let go of their hands, but there was nothing specific.
“However, from common sense, it makes no sense to exert such a power other than the Holy Spear.”
“Do you have any reason to judge that?”
“At the ti, I looked at the site with the investigation team to find out the traces of divine power. The aftermath was so great that even I, who was still young, could feel the unusualness and even changed the terrain. No one has it.”
Even the demon king couldn’t do that.
That’s why the saintess was suspicious of the misuse of the Holy Spear. It was because it was the most realistic way to use the holy spear and erase the traces rather than guessing other variables.
“If what Soha Shinore used at the ti was really the Holy Spear Esthe, no one would know what tricks he would have done with the holy relics recovered from the church and the power of the evil spirit. Perhaps it has recovered to the level where it can re-erge the power it showed when it first appeared. It might have. Soha Shinore has no reason not to use that power against the hero.”
It would never be a situation where I could hide my strength and fight, so there was a high possibility of confronting the enemy while preparing for a surprise attack from nowhere without knowing who Soha Shinore was.
In that state, assuming the worst situation of a guy who inferred the situation after seeing using magical powers, surprise with a holy spear, I looked at the saintess who showed a sign of concern, but my gaze suddenly turned to her horn.
“…Hero?”
“It’s grown so neatly that you wouldn’t even think it was cut.”
Apparently, the saintess’ horns, which had not yet grown when they t near her hotown the other day, were now equal in length on both sides. It was a change that reminded of a lot of ti that had passed since the day I first t the devil’s head, and thanks to that, I was able to realize that I also went through a lot of changes.
Having calculated my change and the Demon King’s move that only moves the guy nad Soha Shinore inwardly with a calm head, I briefly spoke to the saintess who seed as concerned as Asili.
“I have a lot of tinnitus.”
If the use of the Holy Spear is correct, it may have restored its power.
If there was a way to abuse the holy spear even though he wasn’t a hero, he might have gained extraordinary strength in a way we don’t know.
However, no matter how much he was a human child, it was clear that he would not have reached the level of transcendence called a master. If he had reached it, he would have appeared in front of us right away and showed off a ‘quick handling’ worthy of the special operations departnt’s notoriety.
“I can’t lose to a guy with only one tinnitus.”
If so, it’s a fight worth fighting for.
Seeing the saintess’ expression distorted in a subtle way at the joke thrown here, I smiled slightly.
