943 Episode 0943



The moment something unknown spreads around him, Ray lands on the ground, uncomfortable with his body movements.
 Ray used Slapnil's shoes to jump through the air many times in what could be termed triangulation, square jump or pentagon, but an unexpected event stopped him as soon as he landed.

"What is this...?"
"Do you not know what it is? This is God's punishment. and enjoy the power of the Holy Goddess of Light."

 Vicente laughs at Ray's appearance.
 The tattoo on his right cheek is shining and he is asserting himself fiercely.

(I don't like a stigma.) I mean, that's the sacrament. Though there were some remarkable sanctuaries. Is that old man's tattoo on his hand the stigma, then, the effect of that stigma, which seems to have disappeared the moment my attack hits him?"

 Various thoughts pass through my mind, but Vicente doesn't have to bother waiting for them.
 His opponent was a great enemy, and he insulted the only absolute God.
 It is necessary to punish the crime accordingly.

"Now, my great enemy... reap the reward of your sins." administer divine punishment"

 When Vicente's declaration, the old man also nods with a sincere expression, erasing his usual gentle smile.
 Bicente clenches his fist next to an old man holding a cane in his hand as if it were an Estock... and kicks the earth the next moment.
 As Vicente moved straight toward him, Ray put his death size in his hand and arranged to attack him.
 Seeing Ray like that, Vicente puts a smile on his lips.
 The moment Ray saw the smile, he felt a bitter chill, as if he had an ice pole stuck in his back.

"What!"

 Encouraged by the chill, Ray flies right beside Vicente instead of picking him up.
 a reflexive movement rather than a thoughtful one
 But the moment he made the move, the discomfort inside Ray became stronger than ever.

(Slow!)

 Yes, you can only do what you normally do in an instant after spending a few times as much time.
 Of course it's quite a quick move for an average person, but it's still a slow move for Ray to call dull, and above all, it's so slow that he can't even pick up Vicente.
 It feels as if I'm the only one left behind by the flow of time, even though the other person is moving normally.
 Even if we keep defending ourselves, the action won't be in time.
 Immediately determined, Ray does not prevent Vicente's attack in death size, but rather uses his magical powers to prevent... by rapidly increasing the heat of the Flame Emperor's Red Armour.
 Fine heat adjustment has not yet been completely completed, but it is not difficult to choose whether to raise or lower the temperature.
 The temperature around him accelerates as he puts magic into the Emperor's red armor in an effort to burn up his fists.

"What!"

 It was Vicente who was astonished at this.
 There is a strong feeling in the voice that such a thing would never happen.

"Victim!"

 The old man's voice is that Vicente, whose mind has been completely blanked by an impossible phenomenon.
 His voice was sharp enough to convince him that he was a member of a stigma, rather than the old man's attitude.
 The voice brings Vicente back to his feet, giving up his attack on Ray.

"Why, old man, in the sanctuary where the stigma was activated?"

 Next to Vicente, who leaped backward, was an old man with a cane in his hand.
 Vicente asked the old man, but his answer was to shake his head.

"I don't know. The movement is definitely slow, so it's not that the sanctuary is ineffective. If that's the case, then... no, I don't have time to think about it now."

 The ambient temperature is rising rapidly, especially around Ray.
 It was winter... even though it was midnight, all the snow that had been around before the battle began melted into water.
 The water evaporates further due to the hot air emitted by Ray, becoming steam to increase the humidity around it, and moreover, the temperature also reaches nearly 30 degrees Celsius.
 Even the Vicentes away from Ray are this hot, so what happens if they get close to Ray?
 Vicente, in particular, was about to swing his fist to Ray, so if he had beaten him as he was, he would feel cold in the spine despite the heat around him.
 Of course, if it's to punish God against a great enemy, it doesn't matter what happens to your body or life.
 But I am a member of the Stigma, a chosen member of the Church of the Sacred Light.
 If the stigma was unable to do anything and, on the contrary, was seriously injured trying to attack, the religion itself could become a laughingstock.

"Old master..."

 I'd like you to give me some advice on what to do.
 When Vicente looks at the old man next to him, he thinks a little and opens his mouth with his cane in his hand.

"Well, let's try to touch it a little."

 As soon as the old man tells me, the figure disappears suddenly.
 Then, the next moment, Ray suddenly appears in front of him.

"What!"

 Ray gave a moment of surprise, but the next moment he was using his magical death size, as if he hadn't thought he would suddenly appear close to the temperature at which his body would burn.
 With the effect of the flaming Emperor's red armor, the instantly wielded death-sized blade, cutting the air to cut the old man's torso into two, as if it had left a sound behind... but disappeared the moment the blade thought it had touched the old man again.

"Well, I see," They react quickly."

 Ray suddenly feels uncomfortable when the old man mutters again next to Vicente.

(Isn't there anything wrong with that...?) No, it's definitely strange. Is it possible to metastasize so often, even if it's a metastatic stone created by the Empire of Bestia, there are many strict conditions... if that's the case, isn't it?)

 Perhaps the old man's ability is not metastasis.
 With such doubts in mind, he looks at the old man at the end of his gaze, keeping the heat of the flame emperor's red armor in his body.
 Isn't it strange that Stigma, who appeared very close to Ray, doesn't seem to have any sweat on his face.
 Once suspicious, doubts spring up one after another.
 For example, he disappeared when he avoided Ray's killing, but it was not different from before that the old man reappeared after the killing of the wall instead of the old man.
 Even if you use metastasis, it must be very difficult to appear in the exact same place.
 Of course, if you say you have that much skill, you may have to agree with it, but in Ray's eyes, there are still only doubts left.

(But the attack I had when I left the window was definitely real. Shall we try a little more? If possible, there would be no problem if I could touch it directly just before it disappeared. But I'll try... how, if I may, do I try it.

 It wasn't like the two stigma watched silently while they were thinking about how to defeat the other person inside.
 However, it was difficult even for Vicente to deal with an integrated skill that could damage one's own body if one approaches it.
 And most importantly...

(Why can you show so much power in the sanctuary?)

 Yes, that was Vicente's biggest question.
 Originally, the expansion of this sanctuary would have prevented everyone in that territory from exercising half of their power.
 The only exception is those with stigma.
 Only those with stigma can demonstrate greater abilities in this sanctuary.
 Nevertheless, even in such a situation, the great enemy at the sight of us was a decent one... and that was the only thing that left us strong enough to compete with each other.
 This was an impossible matter, and if it was not done well, problems might arise with regard to the doctrine of the Holy Knight.
 That's why Vicente can't understand what's in front of him...and therefore he can't tolerate it.

"He who opposes the power of the Holy Goddess of Light, you are our great enemy!"
"Calm down, Vicente,"
"But old chap!"

 The old man interrupts Vicente to calm him down, but Vicente immediately retorts to such an old man.
 The next moment, however, the gaze from the old man to Vicente turns into a penetrating one.

"I told you to calm down, didn't I?" Didn't you understand the word?""That's... yes." I'm sorry."

 Vicente can't say anything more in front of that gaze, just calm down.
 The old man returns to his usual good old face and laughs at Vicente's appearance.

"Huh! I don't mind if you're serious, but I don't think you're bleeding easily. You've said it over and over again."
"...yes,"
"Well, I understand why you care so much about him, but perhaps the problem in this case is not so complicated."

 The old man's semi-confident statement was both astonishing and respectable to Vicente.
 Why is Ray showing so much fighting power in the sanctuary? He already solved the question, though he didn't understand it at all.

"Why?"
"It's not that difficult. In the first place, there were many keys to solving the question. For example, his movements themselves have been slowed down by the benefits of sanctuary. I understand that."
"Yes, my response to attacks has definitely slowed down. But..."
"Don't rush to answer that question. In other words, as I said now, the slow movement is definitely beneficial to him. But that red thing doesn't have the effect of attenuation. -- at first glance it looks like that."
"At first glance?"

 At the old man's words, Vicente turns his eyes to Ray, who is invoking the flaming Emperor's red armor.
 an overwhelming amount of heat that can be felt even at such a distance
 Even if there were strangers here, it would be hard to believe that this season is winter.
 Spring... No, I recognize it as summer.
 If I had attacked Ray earlier, I'd probably... I'm sure my fist would have been burned up.

"Well, to be frank with you, he'll have that strength if he's too good to be damped by the effects of the sanctuary. 儂 decided so."
"Stupid!"

 Though it's from a respected person, the man still reflexively denies it.
 It's only natural that they have less than half the power of the Holy Goddess of Light, but they still have the ability to hurt themselves.
 It means that Ray's power is superior to ours, protected by the goddess of the Holy Light.
 I can't stand it, I can't stand it, I can't stand it.
 That kind of feeling fills Vicente's mind... and ultimately his absolute anger towards Ray fills not only his mind but also his body.

"Calm down! This must be another ordeal that God has inflicted on you and your lord. Only if they overcome the ordeal will they show a sincere prayer to God. Defeat him and show him the power of faith. I mean, that's what it is."

 The old man's words quelled the expression of Vicente's anger in an instant.
 If you defeat a great enemy at the sight of your eyes by your faith, it will show your faith, and at the same time it will be God's pleasure.
 When I heard that, it seemed to me that it was nothing but my immaturity that I had been mad for a moment.

"All right, old man. I was inexperienced. ...give him divine punishment against his great enemy. That's all you have to think about, isn't it? Then God will receive my faith and I will also be held in God's love. that all this world may be wrapped in the love of the Holy Goddess of Light, and that we may all live peacefully and happily."
"Yes, my heart is the same. Such men must not exist. In the name of the Holy Goddess of Light, divine punishment against the great enemy."
"God's punishment!"

 Screaming sharply, Vicente kicks forward in the ground.
 Ray also waits for Vicente, wearing the Emperor's red armor, to take action, rather than let things get rigid.
 Oddly enough, both sides made the decision to move things around.
