Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

251. Battle of the Saints (2)

I wiped the blood off my cheek.

The Dark Knights, who had been showing off their might until just now, had become pieces of meat. Their remains were strewn about, mixed with the corpses of mercenaries.

“…”

The mercenaries looked at me with blank eyes.

You shouldn’t have to match. I glanced at them and left the scene.

There were already battles going on everywhere.

“Ready to fire! Lower the goddess’s mace on the blasphemous heretics!”

The knight on the castle wall drew his sword.

At the same time, the archers pulled a demonstration in unison.

Papa papak!

Thousands of arrows pierced the plain and made mercenaries into skewers.

“launch!”

Pupperpuppung!

Cannons hidden throughout the walls popped out and spewed fire.

Pillars of fire rose simultaneously from the ground and sky.

“Damn it! Archers fight back! Raise your shields!”

“Kill them all!”

“Long live Her Highness the Princess!”

pop!

The corpses of the two mercenaries were thrown into the air.

I took a step to the side. Where I was, blood and flesh dripped down.

‘The church’s counterattack is strong.’

It feels different from the 55th floor, where the charter was one-sided.

The church guards guarded the ground and air by pouring arrows, cannons, stones, and magic into the fort.

The number of troops was large, and morale was not easy.

Kwaaang!

An arrow lodged in the cannon that was about to fire and the barrel exploded.

It was an arrow shot by Jenna.

bang! Pupperpuppung!

Countless arrows and explosives were exchanged between the two camps.

I walked casually through the battlefield where arrows and heat waves were pouring in.

[We’re meeting at the temple inside the city, right?]

Katio’s voice rang in his ears.

“Okay. This side has been dealt with as well. I’m going right now. Don’t worry about the janitors and move right away. Let’s meet at the entrance.”

Beep.

I cut off communication and kicked my feet.

I climbed the high wall like a flat land.

“What is this bastard! Porridge…”

The article, whose head disappeared in one punch, collapsed.

I passed the corpse on the wall and entered the fort. There, the battle between Taonian heroes and soldiers who had already landed was taking place.

‘There’s no need to waste time.’

I moved forward, taking care of only those who got in my way.

Whether it’s a conscripted soldier or a knight who’s been through training, the shot is fair.

Wherever I passed, only the corpses of the members of the Order remained.

“What, what… that guy…”

Crossed the outer walls where a fierce battle was taking place and entered the inside of the fortress.

The eyes of the soldiers who were preparing for defense turned to me.

I walked leisurely on the main street of the city.

“Heretic gnome! You will receive the punishment!”

A young knight jumped out to stop me,

but Puck!

In an instant, half of his face was sunk in, and he was splattered with blood.

“…”

The soldiers who were watching the scene hesitated and began to back away.

I smiled and passed them.

Those things can’t be my opponent even if a thousand people come.

I have no reason to deal with you.

‘I only need to deal with the saintess.’

Irene, the blind saint of the 60th floor and the closest aide to the prince.

By now you should have received reports that I was on my way to the temple. I became stronger than I was on the 50th floor. It would be better to wait while praying.

I moved my steps while killing every single member of the religious order blocking my path.

Red liquid dripped from his right hand, which was covered in blood as he walked.

[She seems to be on the top floor of the temple,]

murmured Halgion.

Looking up, the panoramic view of the temple rising without knowing the end came into view.

It was as tall as a high-rise building and as large as a large soccer field.

‘It’s built quite splendidly.’

At the gate of the temple were carved statues of twin goddesses holding hands.

I entered the plaza at the entrance of the temple with my hand on the scabbard. The Lucette had landed on one side of the plaza, and the 1st party members were waiting for me next to the corpses of the guards piled up like a mountain.

“Brother, here you are!”

Jenna waved at me.

I nodded and approached the members.

“The church’s officers must be gathered in this temple.”

“I will.”

“Go inside and clean it up. Don’t leave a single mouse behind.”

“What if there are civilians? They’re innocent.”

Katio opened his mouth.

I shook my head.

“There are no civilians here.”

In addition to soldiers and knights in armor, I was attacked several times by people who seemed to be ordinary citizens and housewives. As befits a city called the Holy City, the guys here are faithful followers of the Goddess Church.

‘We have to reduce the casualties of the mercenaries as much as possible.’

The troops here should be reused when fighting the prince later.

So there was no need to fight for time. Divide into groups and quickly sweep the inside of the temple to remove the saint, the head of the religious group.

“From now on, we divide into groups. Zena and Kishasha are group 1. Belqist and Katio are group 2. And I am group 3. Group 1 takes charge of the lower level of the temple. Group 2 takes the upper level of the temple. I will go to the top floor.”

“If it’s on the top floor…”

“There must be a saint.”

“Will you be okay alone? That person must be very strong.”

I laughed silently.

And then it kicked right into the ground.

Paperweight!

Lightning ricocheted from under my feet and covered my whole body.

I planted my feet on the wall of the temple and started running vertically up the building.

Looking down for a moment, I saw the faces of the members preparing to enter the temple.

‘…’

In the past, I would have been prepared to fight with formations in formation.

But now things have changed.

‘Team play.’

A bitter smile bloomed on his lips.

Now is the time to graduate.

If formation and cooperation were the fighting methods of the weak, then the strong had their own fighting methods.

[Don’t have any regrets. They and you have changed where you stand.]

“I know. I just saw that you are doing well.”

I moved my gaze upward.

A wall made of marble stretches endlessly.

I gained altitude by passing between the terraces and stained glass statues on the walls. A temple hundreds of meters high gradually revealed its top. like that.

Clink!

I broke through the glass on the top floor and entered the temple.

dark room. A faint light seeped through the stained glass.

In the darkness, the thick smell of grass stung my nose.

[It is here.]

A small garden was installed on the top floor of the temple.

I stepped into the garden entrance.

“That’s it.”

A middle-aged man in silver armor emerged from among the grass.

A sharp impression like a well-forged blade. There was no emotion to be found in the short hair and blunt expression.

[Danger!]

[President of the Holy Knights]

[Goddess Sword Dosmech Lv. 85]

The president of the Holy Knights.

I got a decent catch.

It seems that he is the one who supervises the knights of the church.

“You’re the one Israel. I’ve heard the reputation.”

The middle-aged knight slowly drew his sword.

A soft light emanated from his eyes.

“I am Dosmech Lyell. I am a paladin who dedicated his sword to Tell and Ikar.”

“Where have the other kids gone? Why are you alone?”

“There is no obligation to speak.”

“Did you hide it somewhere? We’re all going to die anyway, so wouldn’t it be better to stick together?

I said with a smile.

“You have no good intentions or duty.”

“It’s not something you guys will say. If you’re an aide to the saintess, you’d know what Tell did. But are you arguing that you’ll believe it?”

The knight lowered his eyes.

“If the saintess and I die… save my subordinates.”

“no.”

I stopped talking.

“Everyone with a cult label will die here. Not one is missing.”

“…”

“I don’t let the enemy live. It’s my iron rule. If you get stabbed in the back of the head, you’ll be in trouble.”

“Then… I guess I have no choice but to get you out of here.”

Dosmech lowered his sword.

A faint white light began to glow from the blade of the sword.

[Be careful. If it touches that sword, even the black dragon will take damage.]

Serung.

I pulled the bifrost.

He wasn’t a guy to fight with bare hands.

“Don’t take that head!”

A posture as gentle as flowing water.

Dosmech, who was aiming a sword, lunged at me.

and.

‘Before I got the Demon Dragon Soul, I must have suffered quite a bit.’

I turned the blade.

Red blood dripping down the tip of the sword stained the leaves.

The corpse of Dosmech, whose chest was split right in front of him, lay face down.

‘…’

I didn’t really feel it.

You’re just one of thousands of humans I’ve killed.

I swept the blood off the blade and left the garden.

I walked through a long hallway and arrived at a huge hall.

The left and right sides of the hall are lined with marble columns, and various forms of statues of goddesses are carved here and there.

[Danger!]

[Blind Saint]

[Irene Teralisa Lv. ???]

The far end of the hall.

On the terrace facing outside the city, a saintess wearing a pure white robe was showing her back to me.

[…Dosmech is dead.]

A voice pierces his head.

I feel bad whenever I hear it.

I approached the saintess frowning.

“Have you thought of your will? Don’t even think about escaping.”

[A sad voice. I had no intention of running away from the beginning.]

Irene continued.

[It turns out like this in the end. As the goddess predicted, we must have been born to be eaten by you. How is it. Will you become stronger if you eat me?]

“Well, I think you’ll vomit because it doesn’t taste good.”

[Isn’t it difficult to answer like that? It is the body that must prevent the destruction of Taonier in the future.]

Irene looked at the sky beyond the terrace where fire was blooming.

[I don’t even remember how long ago. Our church, along with His Highness the Prince, did their best to save Taonier. But it failed. very meticulously. I couldn’t even fight back. All we could do was run away and run away.]

“…”

[Do you think it would be different with you?]

Irene lowered her gaze.

The holy city of Delhive was burning.

The mercenaries entered the fortress.

[Really… I mean, can I get Taoni?]

“That’s not something you should think about.”

Irene’s back gradually moved closer.

There were no church guards here.

She was blood-single.

[You have fully awakened the power of the ancient species. If that’s the case, I won’t be able to defeat you by using the power of my eyes.]

“I know that.”

[But I have another method.]

I was blocked by a transparent wall as I approached him.

‘This is…’

Impassable zone.

The boss is right in front of you, but it takes a limit?

I wrinkled my face.

[Whoops. You know what? During the three years without you, I tried everything to open my third eye. Among them, there were things the devil would do. I took a bath in the blood of a girl and sacrificed countless believers.]

Irene turned her head to the outside of the city.

I followed her gaze.

There was Freea, who was trying to enter the Saints with Yoshu.

[I can only use this magic eye once.]

“…”

[This is truly the ultimate magic eye. It’s the evil eye that turns fantasy into truth… Where do you drill a hole? If that’s possible, it’s your victory.]

Irene laughed out loud.

followed by

[‘The left eye that ravages the heavens’]

Huge purple eyes appeared in the saint’s sky.

[‘Right eye that devours the ground’]

Next to the purple pupil,

a burning bright red pupil is engraved.

A pair of eyes looked down at the city.

[Danger!]

[Saint Irene’s secret technique, ‘Binocular of Death’ is unlocked!]

Irene’s magic eyes were only shining on one person.

‘Pria.’

bang!

I kicked the wall in front of me.

But it doesn’t even move.

‘…Damn it.’

This wall can never be broken.

Until I surpass the limits of a hero.

[Brother!]

Yoshu’s urgent voice rang out.

[The princess grabbed her chest and suddenly collapsed. What’s going on?]

“…Leave it alone.”

[Yes?]

“I’ll take care of it, so leave it alone.”

A hologram message appeared on Amkena’s control panel.

[Teeling!]

[‘Binocular of Death’ has been cast on the special NPC ‘Priasis Al Ragna’.]

[Her life is in danger. Drag and drop the screen! Please extend a helping hand to the NPC trapped in fantasy!]

Amkena vigorously lowered the screen.

[Slash!]

[The dimensional door connected to the fantasy has opened!]

Ugh.

A whirlpool of light appeared in the center of the hall.

‘Let’s do this with me.’

don’t hesitate

I firmly gripped the hilt of my sword and walked into the whirlpool.
