75-075-The World of Colon's Belief

And here we are now.

"The 18th of the yellow moon in the year of St. King's Landing 128.

＜Saint Reginald's City of Platena, East Forest.

High Priest, how could you do this to me?

Although Colon appealed to him with a face that looked like he was about to cry, Zwei made an expression again and returned to a smile and replied.

''I'm not sure why you are asking. It's a foolish question like those foolish atheists asking us why we are praying to God?''

Oh, no.

"And the Saviour will be born, one by one, every few moments, and in time he will swallow up the whole world and purify it.

A giant god of destruction appears and swallows up the world in other ways!

Zwei's words stunned Colon, and the other believers trembled in fear.

''Vo-ooh-ooh!!!''

Without regard to the confusion of the people underneath him, the Savior raised his arm and slammed his huge fist into the ground!

D'onn!

The ground cracked violently with that blow, and the forest dragons, who had been hiding in the shadows to see what was going on, all fled at once!

'Come, all of you, pray. Follow your Savior's guidance.

When instructed by Zwei, many of his followers are confused, alternating between his smile and the devilishly strong face of the "savior".

It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

''........Oh?''

But there was only one person in the midst of all this who held his sword for the Saviour.

His name is Linus he is a prince of the Platenian nation and a faithful "God's Believer".

''Sword smite!!!''

When he slashed hard at the Savior's leg with his Sword Skill, a faint (faint) scrape was made at the point where the blade hit him.

With the appearance of the opponent who had shown clear hostility towards him, the Saviour's target was narrowed down to one person (Linus) rather than an unspecified number.

''Huh, to be snatched even with the sword of my full strength.... This is the very end of the world, to have this come rushing in in droves.......it was!

Before he can finish, Linus jumps to the side and a giant fist passes over the spot he was in just before!

Moreover, even though he wasn't directly hit, the people around him were blown away and fell to the ground by the tremendous wind pressure created by his fists and wings.

In the midst of all this, Linus immediately thrust his sword into the ground on the spur of the moment, maintaining his stance, and immediately unleashed his next sword technique!

Strike burst!

"Guhaw?

When he unleashed a thrusting attack aimed at the scrape on his leg that he had just inflicted, the damage went through, albeit only slightly.

If I were to compare it to a human, it would be "a pain of a stitching needle tingling on the tip of a finger", but it was still very uncomfortable for the Saviour, that's for sure.

And in order to eliminate Linus, the cause of the damage, the Saviour took a deep breath - and

.........

It could be called the Sixth Sense of a saint, if you want to call it that.

Having a premonition that the Saviour would do something 'incredibly dangerous' next, Colon, who still couldn't stop shaking, forced his own mouth open and spun a sacred art chant (word).

Sacred Holy Shield!

At the same time as the savior fired a breath at Linus, a huge rainbow-colored defensive wall unfolded in front of him.

It was a 'high-level defensive skill that only clerics can use,' and it was a foul thing that targeted all attributes, whether physical or magical.

The breaths that were flung by the powerful defensive wall were carried up by the wind, and the leaves of the trees that were exposed to them could be seen to scatter.

If this had been a direct hit, Linus would definitely not have been safe.

But--

What?

Before he could see the breath come to an end, Colon's eyes suddenly darkened before he could see it.

At the same time, from the large feeling that enveloped him, he understood that he was being held by His Highness Linus.

''La, Lord Linus!　What the hell are you doing?!

But I didn't hear a reply to that question.

.............

After a bit of silence, a large body fell with a thud beside him.

''Linus-sama!

Linus's iron armor, which had fallen beside the colon, had turned reddish-black, and his cloak, which had been colored in beautiful vermilion just a moment ago, was crumbling into tatters like a dark curtain that had rotted away in ruins.

''Utterly and ridiculously strong........''

As Linus looked up with his face contorted in pain, he saw the protective wall that had protected them just now crumbling and disappearing.

That was, in other words, proof that the Savior's Breath had the power to destroy even the strongest of the clergy's defensive walls with an easy blow.

''Heel!

The healing light from Colon's hand has healed Linus' lacerations, but the fact remains that the situation is still critical.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on the subject.

It's a good thing that even you, a supposedly saintly woman, refuses to be saved, let alone Linus-dono. In just a few more days, this world will be able to regain its former beauty.''

But Colon shook his head, showing his willingness to reject Zwei's idea.

'I ... the people of the present ... no, I believe that all the living can join hands and make a beautiful world a reality!

It's a good thing that she's a saint, because she's never afraid to hold up her holy wand, even though her legs are shaking with fear.

Ironically, to Zwei, she appears to be a mere apostate.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm a child. I've seen the beautiful world violated by the ungodly long before you were born," he said.

Nevertheless, Dr. Einz preached that all creatures were equal under God.

"The only people who have ever believed in that are the servants of the devil...

The way he shouted at Cologne with rough words, a change from his polite tone, is unmistakably that of a beast that reminds me of my boyhood.

Even in the face of hostility that would frighten even an adult, Cologne never turned away and looked straight at him to convey her intentions.

The image of Princess Priscia and Pete happily laughing at each other has flashed through Colon's mind.

Even if they are from different races, they respect each other's values and trust each other.

Just as Einz knows the dirty world, she also knows the beautiful world.

''Beautiful........!

'I don't care if you say it's beautiful!　I believe in everything that lives in this world!　So I........as a saint, I will save everything that lives in the present.......absolutely!

The girl called herself a saint for the first time, and with that, the trembling of her legs stopped with a snap.

And then--

I'm with Cologne on this one.

"Me too!

!

Cologne huffed at the lazy voice that suddenly came in the midst of the tension.

He turned around and found a simple, kind-looking man and a woman with long, light blue hair.......

-- without questioning a single thing about my sudden appearance, they offered to help me.

--and even tried to sneak into the church to help me, despite the danger.

--but because he tried to save me, he got caught, disappeared, and was all alone again...

..........

But you came back.........!

Well, I guess it's time for me to take up a fight with God for the first time in a while!
