"Everyone! Stop! Cease your actions!"
In just a short while, Freya had also run out of the house.
The Saintes's petite body directly rushed in front of Reji, using herself to shield Reji from all the rcenaries.
"There must be so misunderstanding. I, Freya, swear on my na as the Radiant Saintess that I will ask him about it later and take him to see Earl Nicholas. I will resolve this matter, so please... go back!"
In this critical situation, Freya no longer cared about concealing her identity and directly introduced herself.
She tried to use her identity as the Radiant Saintess to persuade these rcenaries, but at this stage, the Radiant Temple was far from being as vast as it would be a thousand years later. It was still just an ordinary sect among the many fate-based beliefs.
Moreover... Judging from the rcenaries' reactions, they didn't seem to be very surprised by Freya's identity, as if they had already known.
"So you're the Saintess, hmph. I advise you not to ddle in other people's business!"
"Exactly. With such a delicate appearance, it wouldn't be good if you got hurt!"
"And you want to take him to see the Earl? Could it be that you've also accepted the bounty and plan to keep the reward for yourself?"
"That's right. If we let him go, what about our bounty? Step aside. We've got him this ti!"
The Black Lion rcenaries began to close in step by step.
The sharp blades in their hands glinted with cold light, and their fierce eyes were full of threats. So of them even had other wicked thoughts towards Freya's shapely and pretty figure, despite her casual attire, and showed lewd smiles.
All of this made Freya feel imnse pressure. She nervously clenched her fists, as if wanting to show these rcenaries a lesson. She directly chanted a spell, and soon, a large amount of light flickered in front of her chest. The thick radiance turned into a strong flash, directly causing several approaching rcenaries to hastily raise their hands to block it.
"I warn you one last ti. Stop and leave!"
Freya seed aggressive.
The surging power of radiance enveloped the girl's entire body, as if highlighting the Saintes's powerful strength.
But in reality...
"Hmph, don't be afraid. Have you forgotten what the informant said? She's just a figurehead! She doesn't know any offensive spells at all. Don't be afraid. Keep going!"
The leader let out a fierce shout. Those rcenaries who had been slightly intimidated by Freya instantly regained so of their courage.
They continued to cautiously approach Freya and Reji.
When they discovered that, just as their leader had said, the so-called Radiant Saintess had no follow-up after her previous display and didn't use that thick radiant power to attack them when they approached again, instead appearing even more nervous and uneasy, the rcenaries completely relaxed and beca bolder, increasing their speed of approach.
Indeed. Freya's role was that of a healer class.
She could only learn a few offensive spells in the later stages.
As for this early stage... It could be said that her attack power was practically zero.
Quietly watching from behind, seeing this scene that was exactly the sa as in the ga's plot...
Next, according to the developnt of history, it should be the turn for the official "battle segnt."
It didn't matter if Freya was a healer. Wasn't there still him, the hero?
In the normal plot, this was when he should step forward and engage in a fierce battle with those rcenaries. Just when he was outnumbered and about to be defeated, a holy light would shine down, directly restoring him to full health and allowing him to continue fighting.
Afterward, relying on the "battle-healer" combination of him and Freya, with their powerful healing and recovery abilities, they would forcefully repel these rcenaries and achieve victory.
"Freya, can you heal ?"
Freya, who was extrely nervous and had been seen through, her palms sweating as she racked her brain for what to do, suddenly heard the hero's voice from behind.
Freya: "...?"
"Oh, sorry. Can you use 'Light Healing' on ?" Reji corrected his wording and gave the Saintess a reassuring smile.
Although Freya didn't understand, she quickly did as the hero said.
Warm holy light instantly showered upon Reji's head, enveloping his entire body.
On Reji's status panel, a prompt window imdiately popped up.
[You have received "Holy Healing" from "Freya". Since your health is already full, the extra healing effect is converted to a temporary maximum health increase of 109.]
[Current Health: 8762839/8762839]
Although Freya's attack was very weak, in terms of being a healer, she was definitely the top 1 throughout the early, middle, and late stages of the ga. This was the treatnt of the female lead.
When Reji was first healed by Freya in the ga, seeing this extra healing converted into a health limit increase, he practically shouted "divine technique" on the spot.
After all, at that ti, he only had a total health of around 500 at level 20 or 30. This one heal was equivalent to a surge of one-fifth in his health.
But now...
"Thank you, Freya. This heal is crucial."
Reji wasn't joking.
Although the number 109 was negligible in the face of millions of health points, through this act of healing, Freya had also joined the battle and beco his ally.
This was exactly the sa as in the past history.
This was also Reji's goal.
"I'm going in."
Reji casually picked up a tree branch from the ground. Using it as a sword.
Before the rcenaries opposite him could even mock him, Reji had already reached the frontmost rcenary and casually tapped him with the small tree branch in his hand.
[Ding, you successfully dealt 109283 points of physical damage to "Wilson" using the "Small Tree Branch."]
This rcenary nad Wilson widened his eyes. His bones and organs seed to be instantly crushed by a trendous force, completely deford, turning into a puddle of flesh as he fell straight down.
Then, Reji had already flickered to the next person and swung the small tree branch.
[Ding, you successfully dealt 102832 points of physical damage to "Condren" using the "Small Tree Branch" and caused a knockback effect.]
Bang!
The rcenary Condren turned into a high-speed flying cannonball, directly crashing into several other rcenaries and smashing into the forest with them, stirring up clouds of dust. It seed as if the trees hit in the distance also collapsed with a boom under the imnse force.
Shock!?
If Wilson's scene hadn't been fully processed yet, then when Reji used the small tree branch to send seven or eight rcenaries flying with a single strike, even the dumbest person would understand.
"W-what is that!?"
"Run, quickly run!"
"The information was wrong! The information was wrong! With that kind of power, he... he must be an archmage!!"
"Damn it! Retreat! Retreat!"
The rcenaries thought Reji had used so powerful spell.
But in fact, Reji was indeed just using a normal attack.
However, it didn't matter anymore.
Seeing the rcenaries fleeing in a panic, discarding their armor and weapons, Reji could let the others escape. It was his intention to let them escape. But there was only one exception.
The burly leader of the Black Lion rcenary group from before now looked at Reji in horror, as if in the blink of an eye, Reji had appeared in front of him, holding that small tree branch that was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper.
Splat!
The small tree branch easily pierced through the leader's steel armor, leaving a large bloody hole in his chest. He died with his eyes wide open, completely devoid of life.
With the leader's death and the other rcenaries fleeing in a sorry state, this scene finally ca to an end.
And Reji imdiately looked at his right hand again.
He saw that the Philosopher's Stone, which had dimd considerably due to the "na change," seed to have collected a certain kind of energy again and had visibly brightened a little.
At this point, Reji finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appearing on his face.
As I thought. The thod to repair and maintain the Philosopher's Stone was indeed... "balance".
