Chapter 421 – 421. Nosferad (2)
The battlefield where disease or plague began to circulate was chaos.
Regardless of age or gender, knights or wizards, the sight of people coughing up blood and complaining of pain was hell itself.
Nosferad’s ability reduces the human body’s immune function and spreads pathogens in the body, destroying the body’s internal organs.
It was impossible to stop the plague that spread through the air.
Riod realized that if Eunhyeon sees Nosferard in his original ancient demon sign language, he should run away unconditionally.
If there was a clearly material entity, it was very easy for Riod to raise his sword and stab and slash and kill that entity.
But if it’s a disease that doesn’t exist.
How on earth should knights fight with swords?
-It’s impossible for you.
Eunhyun firmly said to Riod.
-But if it were you, you would go even if I said this.
With a wry smile on his face, he looked at his friend, who was firm and honest, but foolish because he had no tact.
Lyod is such a man.
From the beginning, Eunhyeon had no intention of encouraging him to give up.
-Is there something I’ve always said before? What to do when you are in an extremely unfavorable situation in a fight. Remember?
-… I said that the standard of means is to devise a means to at least equalize that unfavorable situation, or to turn it into a favorable situation for oneself.
Riod was clumsy in finding a way out of this unfavorable situation.
It is always good to trust one’s swordsmanship and be full of confidence, but it was Eunhyeon and his teammates who always stood at the forefront and covered the knights who broke through straight ahead.
So, even after listening to his friend’s rude advice, “It’s impossible for you,” Riod waited for the next words.
His own friends were his guides, always suggesting breakthroughs in any situation.
-That’s right. So, if you encounter Nosferad, I’ll at least try to create a situation where you can fight on an equal footing. After that, it’s your role. Know?
-I get it.
Lyod took the advice of his friend, who always took on the role of a guide.

Kyaaah!
The intense roar of the Demonic Beast as if hitting the ground from above.
Eleanor, who felt a powerful sense of intimidation that made her skin tingle, instinctively stared at the sky outside the window of the aid station.
The appearance of the giant bat demon means that the worst situation that Eun-hyeon has already heard has happened.
Every time he flapped his wings, a gust of wind blew the ruined building of the estate down, and the dusty wind came into the building of the temporary shelter that was caring for the injured and hit them.
“… Calm down.”
Eleanor heard the roar of her Nosferard and seized her quivering arm, forcing her to calm her down.
Currently, she is the conductor who directs the priests who are in charge of caring for the wounded here and the knights who escort the priests.
If she is so confused that she can’t give any directions, the aid station will become paralyzed.
She forced her trembling body to calm down and gave instructions to her priests and knights in her high-pitched voice.
“Don’t panic! Check the condition of the wounded first! Knights, be extra vigilant against an unexpected vampire attack!”
The roar emitted by the Nosferad just now had such a strong sense of intimidation that it shook even Eleanor’s whole body.
It is impossible to predict what would have happened as the bodies of the injured, who felt that intimidation through their ears and skin, shrank.
“Ah, I see!”
In response to Eleanor’s instructions to quickly grasp the situation, the priests and knights continued their roles, suppressing the agitation in their hearts as much as possible.
“Miss Eleanor!”
“Miss Eleanor!”
Then, hearing the voices of two women rushing into her building and calling her name, Eleanor immediately turned her head to stare at her entrance.
Eira and Cha Hanseong came in together, followed by Erin and approached Eleanor.
“Oh, Miss Eleanor. A big, strange bat-like demon beast outside… !”
“Erin. I know. Calm down.”
Eleanor calmed the startled heart of Erin, who had an agitated expression on her face.
Erin hadn’t heard from Eunhyun about the existence of that demon.
Because she only told the story to Eleanor in order to give her a big role in what-ifs.
“… The worst he predicted has happened.”
“Uh? Are you Hyun?”
“… Is it him?”
Erin made a surprised expression that Eunhyeon predicted the existence of a giant bat demon currently flying in the sky.
Eira and Cha Han-seong also couldn’t hide their agitation and embarrassment with similar expressions.
“Huh.”
Eleanor answered briefly with a nod of her head, her firm expression, and then turned her back to the priests who were tending to her wounded.
“I guess I’ll have to go to the front.”
“That, like that… ! Dangerous!”
Of course, there will be an escort, but to jump into the middle of that battlefield where a huge beast is rampaging with the body of a weak priestess is no different from committing suicide.
“Eh, if Eleanor-sama isn’t there, who the hell will be in command of this place… !”
Eleanor had someone on her mind, so she looked straight at him.
“Mr. Merdin.”
“… Eleanor.”
With the role of leading the knights of Armitas, who were organized in response to the request for help from the Knights of Artia, Merdin, who was dispatched here, realized what she was asking of Eleanor and frowned at her.
“I can not. I’d rather go to another priest…”
“No. I beg you. There is no one other than Merdin-sama to lead the knights in charge of escorting this aid station.”
“But I…”
“I am… I have to go. I have a role that person has entrusted to me.”
Eleanor was determined to go to her front to fulfill the role her grace had bestowed upon her.
Really reluctantly, Merdin sighed and nodded her head.
“… Be careful. If something happens to you, you’ll have no face either with Alex or with that guy.”
“Are you okay. I am his wife.”
Eleanor smiled and she was confident.
“… Okay.”
Leaving behind Merdin, who saw her off with a bitter smile, Eleanor returned to Erin, Eira, and Cha Han-seong.
“Erin. I have to go to where Mr. Leode is. Can you escort me and… Can I ask you two too?”
In response to Eleanor’s question to Erin, Eira and Cha Han-seong, the three of them nodded with heavy expressions.
“Yes. All right.”
◆ ◆ ◆
-Is it possible for me too?
-Well. Could it be possible someday?
Despite Eleanor’s earnest question, Agnes put on a sullen expression.
-Still, Lord Vesta nominated you personally, isn’t there a reason for that?
Vesta’s intentions were clear.
It means to faithfully assist Eun-hyeon so that he can fulfill his mission.
In the past, he had only guessed, but he even confirmed Vesta’s will directly from Belldandi, who had manifested in the underworld.
Because of this, Eleanor was able to firmly establish her mission as the wife of Eunhyeon, the next saintess to succeed Agnes.
However, as much as her burden for him was not small, Eleanor also had a burden.
-What are you so nervous about? You’re already helping him enough.
-As a daughter of a duke’s family, it’s like that.
His father, older brother, and all members of the duke’s family, including himself, were helping him and acting as his shield externally so that he could move with his intentions.
Still, she was using her social status to support her Eun-hyeon, and Eleanor as her priest was not helping her Eun-hyeon at all.
It’s good that nothing can help her in the first place, but even so, Eleanor’s heart was complicated.
-For the goddess… Never once did you answer my question.
The goddess Vesta did not show her the way to herself, how she could further develop the qualifications of a priest, and how she could possess stronger divine power.
Belldandi comforted Eleanor with a wry smile, saying that the current situation was the best for Vesta, as there were restrictions on the underworld where the gods could not interfere.
-Joy. Don’t you know how easy it is? Even the prayers of all the priests in the world, the goddess does not answer in words. She only answers with divine power.
-But Agnes-sama…
-Okay. Because me and you are a little special
Anies and Eleanor, who receive enormous divine blessings, are current and next saints who receive the favor of the goddess Vesta.
Agies showed her expression as if she was troublesome, but she couldn’t leave her junior who would succeed her own, who neglected self-discipline to help her husband, her Eun-hyeon.
– Pray.
-Yes?
– I’m praying. With your earnest heart, tell Vesta what you really want. Yes, the moment when Vesta-sama answered that prayer…
Anyes slightly blurted out her words and smiled.
-It’s the moment when you are recognized as a saint at the same time as my retirement.
◆ ◆ ◆
“Turn it off!”
“Cool! Cool!”
Erin, Eira, and Cha Hanseong hardened their faces when they witnessed a large amount of blood pouring out of their mouths, and many people with blood flowing from their eyes, noses, and ears.
“This…”
Even after seeing the sight of many people complaining of pain, no one could not figure out what had happened here.
Escorted by her three men, Eleanor, who had arrived within the realm of disease spread by Nosferad, closed her eyes and quietly put her hands together.
Eleanor knelt down on her knees and started her prayer, gathering all her divine power within her own body and beginning to recite her one prayer.
[With my faith, with my faith, I dare to ask my Goddess.]
It was the only right granted only to the current saintess to make a request directly to the goddess.
[Blessed to protect the lambs who believe in you and serve you from the evil that disturbs the world.]
Without an inch of selflessness, he recites prayers filled with his devout and pure wishes.
The silver divine aura that flowed from Eleanor’s body gradually swelled up and wrapped around Eleanor’s body, forming a round sphere.
In her silvery, round orb, Eleanor concluded her own prayer.
[I beg my goddess.]
[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Kangshin (降神)]
[Whoops, really bold.]
As soon as she finished her prayer, a kind voice echoed in Eleanor’s head, so sudden that it made Eleanor’s body flinch.
[‘If you really intend to help me, please push my wife hard, right?’. What is it?]
Despite the rudeness of the half-god who boldly forced the goddess, she laughed as if the goddess was fun.
[Could you try your best?]
“Ah…”
The goddess who had never answered her own prayers had her own prayers answered for the first time.
Even if it was the result of being established because of Eunhyeon’s intervention and assistance.
What an honor it was for the goddess to give an answer to her priestess, Eleanor trembled with her joy.
Before long, Eleanor raised her knees from within her silver orb created by her divine power.
Her body, slowly rising, floated up into the sky.
A pair of wings full of pure white feathers grow on its back from the condensation of enormous divine energy.
“Wow… Like an angel…”
Erin, who was escorting Eleanor by her side, gave her a small exclamation.
The figure of the saintess floating in the sky with her pure white feathers falling was full of sacredness reminiscent of the angels in her story.
[Eleanor River God]
[Chief Angel Seraphim]
Eleanor embodies her angelic wings with her own desire, different from the golden lion, the spirit god of Agies.
The pure white feathers that fluttered in all directions whenever they flapped their wings purged the air full of diseases, and returned the bodies of those who vomited blood and complained of pain to their state before taking damage.
Soon after, Nosferard, who found an angel who was purifying all his diseases, found his nemesis and burned his hostility.
Kyaaaaagh!
