Chapter 223 – Escape From the Temple
Episode 223 Escape from the Temple
The transparent curtain sways violently in the wind.
Lesilia, who had been watching silently, takes her breath and takes off her veil.
The moment she takes a step, eyes are focused on her.
The eyes of the priests are full of suspicion and distrust, not respect or admiration.
Resilia straightens her back, her white blonde hair flowing.
“I hope the goddess’s prayers are answered.”
The high priest’s earnest voice is scattered in the air.
Her feet faltered as she took a step, but eventually she stretched out with strength.
Go straight into the main sanctuary, and you will arrive at a room where everything is white.
In the middle of her spacious hall there was plaster furniture so that she could fold her hands and pray comfortably.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been here.”
Angular and square plaster.
Scrolling with her fingers, it reminds her of old memories.
A saint revered in the human world. Her memories of being a saint were erased at some point after she met Ikarut. Resilia tucks her flowing hair behind her ear, blocking her view.
“Even if the world forgets me, you will still hear my prayers. Gaia.”
The saint whom everyone has forgotten quietly kneels on her knees.
She folded her hands together and closed her eyes.
[Take on the great sage ‘Delphine’ as your helper]
[I find an unexpected friend and start updating the scenario again]
An oracle message window where no voice can be heard.
Resilia holds her hands tightly as she prays to the oracle for the first time in a long time.
[Scenario re-update was successful]
[Congratulations. The scenario has been inherited]
[Enter to the ending ‘@#$^%&#$%’]
[If you die here, there will be no more resurrection]
“Ending…”
Before the ending, there were a lot of words that seemed like something was broken.
Raising her eyelids, Lesilia looked in all directions.
The heavy silence subsides, and even the sunlight coming in through the window becomes thick.
‘If I had Delphine as my colleague, I would be leaving here soon.’
It’s not a temple that people frequent in the first place, and the magic in the prison room is probably weak.
With the Great Sage’s magic, taking out the imprisoned Demon King was a piece of cake.
Resilia stood up, unfolding one of her folded sleeves.
She received the oracle.
It is not an oracle for a temple, but an oracle for a perishing world.
“If I leave now, it’ll be a little annoying.”
I could feel Arte loitering outside.
I was quite anxious, so my steps were moving here and there with urgency.
Resilia deliberately did not go out and waited for Ikarut and Delphine to come here quickly.
***
“Wow, it looks like I squeezed out a lot of semen.”
Delphine, who had lost her strength and lay down, pulled up the hem of her skirt.
Then Delphine’s eyes started to tear up, and she rolled her eyes at the liquid that came out and looked at Ikarut.
Even though he moved like that, he didn’t even break a sweat.
Even the way he cleaned up his wrinkled clothes was perfect. Delphine, tired of that perfection, clicked her tongue briefly.
As soon as she sits up again, a huge headache shoots up her backside.
Memories that were sparsely empty were reconnected through Resilia Arnel.
Only then did all the questions become resolved.
“It seems like the saint knows something.”
And another question arose.
From the point when Ikarut destroyed the human world, the saint before and after losing her memories have changed greatly.
“There must be a reason why you keep staying with her even though you are suspicious.”
“If you come to your senses, let’s go.”
Delphine became curious at his refusal to answer.
However, for a moment, I felt a presence entering the prison room, so I received no further response.
There was no time.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
When the knights attacked, Delphine quickly used magic.
The illusion was lifted in an instant, and the overlapping magic barriers were released one by one.
Click~ Click~
The lock-shaped magic was released one after another and disappeared.
The knights who noticed the escape drew their swords, and soon the shadows summoned by Ikarut attacked.
The attack was immediately suppressed.
“The magic startup speed has also become several times faster. As expected, your power is amazing.”
The mana circle moved passionately.
Delphine waved her wand, listening to the pounding of her heart.
Pillars of fire rose up everywhere and the knights, feeling the heat, stretched out their hands and blocked their view.
“There is a space control spell applied to the entire prison room.”
“Even though it looks like a temple that doesn’t exist, there’s everything there~ All I have to do is destroy it all!”
A summoning circle is quickly drawn at your feet.
Delphine swings her wand and sticks it out.
“Okay… Grrrr.”
“Ugh! It’s urgent! A ghost has appeared!”
“Hurry up and kill me!!!”
The monsters appear and attack the knights all at once.
Even if you pick up the sword that fell on the floor and swing it, it gets broken by the hard body of the lump.
The knight holding the broken sword looks at Chokgoe with a pale complexion.
“That’s it!!”
“Ugh! “Please save me!”
Feeling the fear of death, the knight ran away shouting, but was caught by the monster and eaten in one bite.
Delphine smiles like a villain and summons a huge fireball.
Kwaang!
The fireball glowed and spread widely.
An exploded prison room.
When a loud noise was heard and an earthquake occurred, the priests were frightened.
Arte, who had been drinking tea and waiting for the oracle, also looks up.
Just then, Wormslane burst open the door.
“What is happening?”
“Arte! We’re in big trouble! A man held in a prison cell exploded and disappeared!”
“Huh, what…”
Arte is speechless and strokes his face with one hand.
As the oracle came down, I was anxious and distracted by the sudden incident.
“… “I have to meet that person.”
“Arte, I will accompany you.”
A nervous Wormslaine strokes the handle of the sword at his waist with his thumb.
He raised his furrowed eyebrows and immediately pulled out his sword, ready to cut down.
Arte stood up without a word and entered the sanctuary with Worm Slaine standing in front of her.
I felt a sense of déjà vu from her uneasy silence.
She walked a little faster and eventually looked at her hall.
“It’s gone.”
A room with no one in it.
But she stretches out her hand and touches the plaster furniture.
So clear and deep sacred power. Startled, Arte quickly removes her hand and covers it with her other hand.
“Are you okay, Arte?”
“Oh, yes. It’s okay.”
Arte’s wrinkled lips stiffened.
“Really… “It was a saint.”
“Yes?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
“Then I will go to the prison room first, check the situation and report.”
Whether Worm Slaine left her position, Arte’s interest remained in her sacred power.
She received her oracle directly. The oracle was a privilege that only saints could receive directly.
There were two saints in the world.
There could not be two suns in the sky, and the same was true for the saint.
If the rumor spreads that she is a saint…
And what if the new saint knows?
‘I guess I’ll have to pretend not to know.’
Death will be inevitable.
Wise Arte closed her eyes tightly.
The sacred power that remained in her hands was warm and beautiful, and ironically, it was a power that I wanted to keep.
***
Wow-
When this space opened, Delphine, unable to bear the dizziness, hurriedly went out.
After gagging one after another, she immediately vomited.
Resilia, who has already experienced this many times, quietly comes to her side and pats her on the back.
“Wow… ! Don’t act like we’re friends. “Saint.”
“It’s been a while since I heard this. Delphine.”
“Just like before, call me Great Sage.”
Delphine, whose memories returned, did not look upon her very favorably because she was branded as a saint who betrayed the human world.
But Resilia had a gentle smile on her face, as if she was glad that she remembered her.
Even though she showed her dislike, he approached me with a smile, and Delphine shook her head.
“Isn’t it too cold anyway?”
“It’s always winter in the Northern Temple. “If you don’t dress properly, you’ll catch a cold.”
“Etch! “You may be strong against the cold because you are a demon, but we are weak humans.”
The cold winter wind passed by my skin.
Delphine trembled, biting her pale lips tightly.
Resilia must have been cold as well, so she kept wiping away her skin.
When she arrived at this space, it was a forest without people.
The snow piled up so thickly that it was pure white everywhere you looked.
She didn’t even know where to go, to the temple.
[If you go between those trees, you will see a side road. If you go there, there is a village, so let’s buy clothes there and go to the temple.]
“Aaaaah! What a surprise! “What if you suddenly say that?”
[Even though I told you, what are you saying? We’ve been there once, Delphine.]
“I don’t even remember… “Are you really retina?”
[Shit…]
“Wow, it looks like this resurrection was a bit of a failure.”
[Delphine, shut your mouth.]
Once you are chosen by the Holy Sword, wherever you go, you will always be by the Holy Sword’s side.
I obviously left it on the street, but Ikarut was momentarily taken aback by the holy sword that was visible as soon as he entered the prison room.
He suddenly appeared and, familiarly leaving behind the admonishing Holy Sword, went out onto the side road.
“Master… There’s a girl.”
“A slave trader.”
They notice and hide their presence behind a tree.
Several slave traders passed through the street, followed by young girls and boys with their wrists bound.
[These bad guys captured the beastman children as slaves.]
“Hmm, judging by the shape of the ears, it looks like they are the same race as Nancy.”
Slavery of different races is illegal, but in places outside the eyes of the emperor, people of different races are secretly kidnapped and bought and sold as slaves.
The northern region is independent of the emperor and is not bound by the laws and systems of the imperial palace.
The temple was also located on an island off the mainland, making it difficult for even the saint to get to.
[Wow! If I had a body, I would have taken down those bad guys.]
“Isn’t it still your body? It will be a lot of fun if I defeat it with the holy sword.”
[Don’t tease me, Delphine. I’m serious now.]
Perhaps because of the warrior’s soul, the Holy Sword was bursting with anger that had never been seen before.
Resilia’s hands were also shaking as she watched in silence.
“Eggplant.”
The slave dealer passed by.
After checking, Ikarut inadvertently raised his eyes and said one word, receiving everyone’s attention.
[Her! You don’t even get angry after seeing this scene. Is it because you are the Demon King?]
“It’s not something we care about anyway.”
[… ! Tsk, you were that kind of guy.]
When the holy sword turned her body in displeasure, Resilia gently stroked her handle.
The holy sword quivered at her pat, but Ikarut lightly ignored it.
‘Anyway, you can’t waste time cheating in the game to see the ending.’
Ikarut walked ahead, and Delphine wiped her philtrum with the back of her hand and followed behind him.
And she engraves in her memory the beastman girl who particularly caught her eye.
