“Sir Rehelon, I am fine. Please wake up.”
In fact, Saint Nadia was more preoccupied with the fact that she had been subjected to a mad miracle ritual by Leon than with understanding how the current situation was going.
As soon as the hint was released, embarrassing memories came flooding back.
I'm crazy.
Maybe she's thinking like that.
“If you knew it now, that would be enough. God said that he would receive into his bosom those who repent.”
“Saint!!”
“Captain of the Knights.”
Then, the High Priest Diablo intervened.
“You are a sinner.”
Saint Nadia was startled by those words.
“Your Majesty the Dibble!”
“Even if it was an order, it doesn’t change the fact that he intended to harm the saintess. But, Commander of the Knights. You have work to do right now. Is that correct?”
"that……."
“You are a knight who protects the Holy Nation. You are also the leader of the knights. There are heretics in this Holy Nation who are trying to seize power by slandering the Holy Lady. Is that also true?”
At Dibble's request, Rehelon slowly lowered his sword and nodded.
“Yes, there is work left to do.”
His eyes sparkle.
“Even though I would gladly accept the punishment as a sinner, I swore that I would fulfill the duty given to me.”
Rehelon stood up from his seat. Next to him, the other Sword Master-level knights who had been attacking together just a moment ago were all prostrating themselves and maintaining silence.
Because they seem like strict gentlemen.
Unlike the other high priests, he was not a person who took the initiative to expel the saint, but rather a person who moved according to orders.
At least it seemed certain that a large-scale storm was about to blow within the Holy Land.
“I will give the order.”
“I will accept it!!”
At the voice of the frosty Rehelon, the other sword masters, and even the paladins and heretic inquisitors who were trying to pressure the saintess all responded at once.
“There are those who dare to betray the will of God and, in their greed for power, attempt to harm the saint. They are heretics. Does anyone object?”
The knights answered his quiet question in unison.
"doesn't exist!!"
“From now on, we will subdue the real heretics who gave us orders. Don’t leave a single one behind. Arrest all those involved.”
At those words, the knights and inquisitors moved simultaneously.
The first thing they did was to aim their swords at some of the Paladins and Inquisitors who were at a loss in the midst of this chaos.
“Wait a minute! Commander of the Knights! We… No, I, I didn’t know! I’m serious!”
“You’ll find out if you investigate. Take him.”
“This… let go of this! Please! Saint! Have mercy!”
Rehelon, who was coldly glaring at those being dragged away, was filled with anger that he would chew them to the bone if he was caught once.
A gentleman that old-fashioned would want to give up his position the moment this matter is over.
Of course, whether or not it will be repaired will depend on the will of Dibble or the Saintess.
It wasn't my part-time job.
The only things I was worried about now were my newly developed merging ability and Luna's condition.
“Leon… I don’t feel well.”
“I’ll give you a massage when you get to the hotel. You worked hard.”
Luna came up to me without saying a word and carried me on her back.
Do people know that she is the archangel who surprised everyone just a moment ago?
Diablo, the only one who knows the truth, looks at Luna with a bitter face.
“Luna Basilina, I’m sorry.”
“It was my choice anyway. I feel bad, but I don’t regret it.”
Diablo smiled faintly at her words.
“If I receive something, I will make sure to do it. Don’t worry. Since I have been asked to help the saintess, I will make sure to do it.”
It's quite funny how one small decoration can make an author who never intended to come to the forefront move like this.
Diablo left a message saying that he would send information if he found anything about Baril in the future and took the saintess into the castle of the Holy Nation.
Afterwards, I told Melissa what had happened there.
-This is really… … strange, you know you shouldn’t do this, right?
Melissa muttered as if she found it very mysterious.
-But you know, I feel good. Is it like when my siblings do really well, I get happy too? I'm starting to feel superior right now.
It's not that I didn't understand what she meant.
At some point, Luna naturally came into the family category.
“That’s right. I am useful.”
Those words secretly boosted my self-esteem.
-So, you take care of the internal affairs of the Holy Land, and what about the Hael tribe? We won't have any troubles because of this, right?
“Not on the surface. They haven’t revealed their identity. And the Hael tribe… Well, it’ll be resolved well. They’ve been blocking harmony with the Hael tribe all this time, but if they change hands this time, there won’t be anyone who can stop the saintess.”
Now that I hear it, it's not a wrong statement. In this situation, Saint Nadia wouldn't necessarily need our help.
The creation of the teleportation gate was also a plan to achieve harmony with them in some way, because without it, discord would have unconditionally arisen.
In the end, by resolving the problem of the Holy Land, the problem of the Hael tribe was naturally resolved as well.
-You've worked hard. At least I can stretch out my legs and sleep well tonight.
“Okay, take a rest. We’ll be back soon.”
As soon as I lost contact with Melissa, Luna sat up on the bed and pounded on it.
“Leon, hurry.”
“Complaining.”
She lay face down with her face buried in her arms as if she had been waiting, and I pressed her back with both hands and poured aura into her.
“Ugh… This feels refreshing.”
There were times when he would push his aura into her body to loosen up the knots, but today they were particularly knotted up.
“There are more people gathered than I thought. Is it because of the divinity or something?”
“I am a fallen angel, so using my original divinity is quite a burden.”
“For something like that, isn’t the recovery not very useful?”
“It’s a little different.”
She let out a short sigh, almost a groan.
“After being sealed for a long time, my body is not what it used to be.”
In other words, she also pushed herself too hard.
“What are the side effects?”
“I’ll feel better if Leon gives me a massage.”
“Don’t do that again.”
“If Leon needs it, he will do it.”
Saying more seemed pointless.
“This way?”
“That way.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Puhhh…….”
Luna wiggled her toes, smiling faintly as if she was in a good mood.
Meanwhile, I thought deeply about my newly developed power, the ability to merge.
It has never been activated before, but when I added the high circle command magic suggestion and word spell [Get caught], the first abnormality occurred.
The method was simple.
It was a method whereby an elemental magic such as a fireball would react explosively with an aura inside, causing changes.
Of course, I'm not sure if it's both, but in a way, it's close to power.
The machine god's heart is a borrowed power.
Thanatos is the power of death that resides within me.
Now, to the merge.
It feels like I'm being pickled, if I were to say that it was just a place where the Labyrinth flowed into by chance.
It's as if I have a combination window and I feel motivated to do something first.
At that point, a combination suddenly came to mind.
“Hmm…….”
“The hand stopped.”
“Ah. I’m sorry, sir.”
Luna closed her eyes and fell into a sleep, seemingly satisfied as she pushed the aura in again and massaged it.
Leaving her sleeping behind, I walked out onto the terrace and laid down in the rocking chair.
The night sky of the Holy Land was more beautiful than any other sky.
This is because the stars, planets, and moon in the sky appeared even more colorful when illuminated by the unique energy of the Holy Land.
I had been closing my eyes and feeling the night breeze in silence, and then I slowly opened my hands.
Blue currents gather above the hand and soon create red flames.
It was a basic elemental magic, a fireball.
I tried to manifest my will there.
[burn up]
Then the red flames began to slowly gather speed and then began to burn fiercely, like the flames of a gas torch.
Even the temperature rises incredibly quickly.
Yes, up to this point it is the existing magic that I knew.
The ability to merge was an ability that had different effectiveness when the powers of different factions were combined.
Let's activate the status window and press the merge ability. Unlike before, the strange letters change every few seconds and take on strange shapes.
“Sir, why is it like this?”
[Currently syncing information.]
I stare at the text like that. It changes quickly, but my visual acuity is not within the normal range.
Quickly strengthen your eyesight to see the letters that change from moment to moment.
It was a strange shape, but honestly, it was a character I couldn't understand.
As we were engaging in such a meaningless snowball fight, the words of the librarian came to mind.
[Synchronization completed.]
At the same time, letters began to appear.
[Merge ability is unlocked.]
[When applying a specific word to the power of each hall, it can be changed into a unique ability that is more powerful than the original result.]
[Once changed, the ability is stored in the slot.]
[Currently Available Slots 1/2]
One of the two slots is already occupied.
It was probably a strangely powerful suggestion magic that was a combination of suggestion magic and [Get].
To test it out, I lit a black flame, which is a suitable magic among the command magics.
After that, he planted a spell in the flames.
[Burn up.]
Then, a letter appeared before my eyes.
[The merge ability slot is empty. Would you like to register the merge ability?]
To satisfy my curiosity, I took a look at it.
Then, a black flame, strengthened simply by the word, rises.
Oh, is it like this?
I cannot use the merge ability until I register.
If the slot is empty, you can merge something new. If you add a word to the power of another hall except elemental mana, something new will be combined.
That is, this unique ability is quite free.
Since one ability has already been registered that uses suggestion magic and a syllable, the other one should be added carefully.
“Sir, is there a condition for this slot to increase?”
[It is judged that the ability can be used or expanded over time.]
[Also, judging from the suggestion magic you used earlier, it seems that its form changes according to your will.]
