I know.
The important thing was taking down the guardian protecting the relic.
Id found the lead.
[Outsider]
[Fairy]
While I was getting beat by the guardian, I could get a glimpse of the orcs swordsmanship.
Pull a fantastical fantasy inside a fantasy, thats all!
If I emptied my head and didnt think too deeply into it, everything else was simple.
Flash!
[A certain god is bewildered.]
[A certain god widens their eyes in surprise.]
Hows this, god? Is this similar to that orc?
[A certain god asks if youre being for real.]
Of course I am. I practiced all day since yesterday.
I gave up counting after practicing exactly 10,000 tis.
[A certain god drills youre a pervert.]
*t/n: pervert is often used in Korea to describe soone abnormally good at sothing
How rude!
Ill take that as a complint.

Where was the safest place in the continent of Fantasia?
Nine out of ten random people would answer:
The Saintesss bedroom.
The story of a legendary thief who could break into anywhere getting caught trying to steal the Saintesss underwear was a favorite among minstrels.
Currently, the owner of that bedroom was staring at the alien backpack and books in front of her for hours on end.
Kang Hansoo
The na of a person shed never even t was completely engraved in her mind.
Taking the ti out of her day to speak with all of the Heroes was worth it. Thanks to that, she could safely gather information.
Know him a little. Yeah, right.
Shed only asked if he was her boyfriend to bait the teenage girl, but Hero Yoo Bora knew about Kang Hansoo a lot more than just friends would.
Hobbies, personality, talents, grades, looks
Yoo Bora denied it to the very last mont, but the Saintess did not believe the premature girls poor excuses.
Anyways
Kang Hansoo
Not even she knew how many tis shed muttered that na.
But what else could she do?
Even the Saintess, who had been through all sorts of turmoil, had never experienced gods lies before.
Imposing silence after breaking a promise to send him back to his ho?
That was sothing a demon would do. No, not even a demon would do such a thing.
Demons thought very highly of contracts; they only tried to trick people with clever word plays.
That was how shocking gods lies were.
If word of that spread out?
The Heroes who had been compliant that whole ti would start to beco suspicious and deny god.
That would be the end of the world.
Kang Hansoo
It wouldnt be a problem if he was already dead.
The evidence had already been collected, and the commander and knight who were the first ones to discover it could be trusted.
And none of the Heroesincluding Yoo Bora, who had given her his informationhad noticed.
But what if he was alive?
Kang Hansoo
Find him and kill him! Make him disappear from this world without a single trace of his bones!
If she could know where he was, it would be as easy as flipping over her hand as the Saintess, who was called humanitys greatest weapon.
But was that enough?
[A certain arrogant god of benevolence asks whats wrong.]
The oracle shed been waiting for broke the long silence.
Dear god. what did you do to the owner of these?
[A certain arrogant god of benevolence glances at the objects.]
[A certain arrogant god of benevolence frowns.]
Did you kill him?
[A certain arrogant god of benevolence is extrely uncomfortable.]
[A certain arrogant god of benevolence says it was a small mistake.]
A mistake?
The Saintess knew very well that not all gods were good.
Worshipped by demons, the demon god was the representative of evil, and there was the whimsical god of wind, who was unpredictable.
But they did not mistakenly trick people.
So did you kill him?
[A certain arrogant god of benevolence absolutely denies it.]
[A certain arrogant god of benevolence says he is still alive.]
She couldnt tell if that was good news or bad news.
Even though she easily took care of nasty political scenes as the Saintess, this ti she couldnt make a judgnt.
It would be a problem if he was alive.
It would be a problem if he was dead.
* * *
* * *
In fact, the fact he was still in the world of Fantasia when he was supposed to be back on his ho planet was the problem in the first place.
Where is he now?
[A certain arrogant god of benevolence screams for you to kill him fast.]
Where is he?
[A certain arrogant god of benevolence screams for you to kill him fast.]
Where is he?
[A certain arrogant god of benevolence abruptly leaves.]
so you dont know.
If the god of the Heroes, who knew the location of almost all of the Heroes with their Blessing, could not find him, that ant there was another god who was stopping them from tracking Kang Hansoo.
Things just got more complicated.
(Saintess.)
The voice of an attendant rang from the crystal ball used for external communications.
(I apologize for interrupting your rest, but there is sothing you must know imdiately.)
What is it?
Although the Saintess felt like her head was going to explode from a human shed never even t before, she still kept her composure.
The attendant replied in a very troubled tone.
(Hero Oh Hanwoo was beaten by another Hero.)
He is no longer a Hero.
(Thats true, but)
We cannot afford to take care of a scoundrels retirent that abandoned his obligations as a Hero.
Oh Hanwoo
Finally, she wouldnt hear that incompetent Heros na again!
The Saintess felt a weight co off her shoulders.
(I apologize. Ive troubled you for a minor issue.)
It is okay. That issue made feel better. Thank you.
(Im sorry?)
Its nothing.
(Yes, ma'am. Enjoy your rest.)
Beep-
The attendant hurriedly hung up the call so as to not take more of her precious rest ti.
But she could not rest.
Kang Hansoo
Would she ever be able to completely rest until she found that human?
First, the most urgent business to take care of was launching a search network without letting anyone know.
Fwpfwp.
The Saintess started to write a letter to send secretly. Those who were in debt to her would be happy to help her.
Her plan was perfect!
[A certain god peeps at the plan.]
[A certain god quietly gets out of the bedroom.]
***
I wanted to train safely until I was certain I would defeat the guardian of the relic.
But I was forced to have a change of plans because of an attack from the goddess that ca out of nowhere.
[Na] Kang Hansoo [Level] 1 [Blessings] Outsider E, Fairy C, rcenary B [Curses] Hero C, Slaughter D, Massacre D [Dividend] 14.01
Thats just too far.
[Hero]
Id stayed at rank E ever since my first day landing in this fantasy world, but I suddenly jumped to rank C.
What did I do?
I didnt know, but one thing was for certain
Damned goddess!
There was no doubt the evil goddess noticed Id been alive that entire ti instead of having been eaten by a gnoll.
That ant staying in one spot for too long was dangerous.
The good thing amidst all the bad news?
[Outsider]
For so reason, my outsider Blessing ranked up one rank as well.
Respect, outsider god.
[A certain god acts smug.]
The Blessing effects activation period was shorter than when it was F rank.
In other words, my cockroach-like longevity was even more long-lasting than before!
The rhythm of being an F rank went sothing like this:
Peeew, peeew, peeew
But as I beca an E rank, it got a little faster:
Peew, peew, peew, peew
I almost died about thirty tis from missing this beat while adjusting to it, but that was a minor issue.
Alright! Shall we get going?
[A certain god says to teach that bad pig a lesson.]
Arent you excited?
[A certain god prays for the bad pigs soul.]
Youre very excited.
Bad pig
That was from a humans perspective. After all, orcs used humans as actual farm animals.
But was it okay for god, who was supposed to love all creations, to have such a biased thought process?
Ah, whatever.
The guardian had not moved an inch, protecting the relic.
But that orc wasnt attacking , even though Id co within his range.
His intentions were obvious.
Im not running away this ti.
Hmph! You think Im going to believe a cunning humans words?
So what if you dont?
Co in closer. Ill show you the relic.
Heh~
It was an unexpected offer.
But I could still see his intentions.
Since the guardian couldnt leave his relic, he was trying to pull deep into the relics territory to get rid of .
That pig really used his brain, I see.
Human. Are you coming? Or are you scared of leaving your hiding spot behind?
The guardian watched , using petty provocative comnts.
Im not saying no.
Hmph! Youll co to regret this.
Are you sure youre not trying to drag into your relic trap because youre scared?
Ha! Do you really think a great warrior like would rely on re traps?!
Well see about that.
The guardian, whod promised to show the relic, stopped in his tracks.
The giant doln
Its impression wasnt much different than when I saw it from far away, but it was purely a simple relic with no basents or secret tunnels.
The orc guardian stopped near the city exit.
Its here.
Thats it?
Would you co with if there was more?
No.
I didnt want to follow him any further, even if there was more to it. He could make a basent or building collapse and bury .
The fantasy natives watching from afar with worry were also bothering .
The guardian explained:
In ancient tis, this was the training grounds to safely train Heroes.
Orc Heroes?
Our species does not have Heroes, we were not chosen by god.
Oh, right.
Humans were arrogant. We took that as a chance to murder the Heroes and their affiliates and destroyed the training grounds, leaving only this relic.
Why?
To use it to restrict the strong from entering.
The rest of the story was simple.
The orcs, after taking over the relic, used the off limits to level 10 and above restriction to build their very own paradise.
Danger?
There were absolutely none.
The entrance of the city wasnt big enough for an army to charge inside, and a small troop wouldnt be able to handle a city swarming with orcs.
What if they were elite?
The strong ones over level 10 that orcs looked out for so much could not enter.
It was truly an impenetrable fortress!
Until Id entered, that is.
Sorry about that!
As long as youre alive, it will be impossible to recover our city, so it appears you will have to die for us here.
Before we start, I have a question.
What is it?
Are there any treasures here? Like a powerful weapon.
That was an extrely important issue. It would be aningless if I killed the guardian and there was nothing.
There are.
Ah! So good news!
Weapons given to rookie graduate Heroes are deep inside.
Well Ill be damned.
It looked like they gave out beginner weapons as graduation gifts.
Would I be able to cut the dinsion-traveling evil goddess with a tool like that?
Tears of disappointnt blurred my eyes.
Human! This is where I avenge the three hundred thousand brothers youoiiiink?!
Bam!
The guardians brawny body flew to the exit with my kick.
Pew!
And he vanished.
What was that? You can leave the relic site just fine.
[A certain god is dumbfounded.]
Why? Its all the better if we can solve this peacefully without a fight~
[Outsider]
I was stuck as a level 1 because of my Blessing, what would I get for putting in all that work to beat up the guardian?
All I had to do was get the treasures!
Grinning ear to ear, I entered the relic.
