16 6 鮮血の結末




"[Acceleration].

 Shea murmured, and at the same time, his movement became an afterimage.

 It was much faster than the man from earlier.
 A speed like a flash of light that rivaled, maybe even surpassed, the hero class of Riot....

 Still, will he make it?

 Barnes is already a few meters in front of the portable shrine with Irina.
 Shea is about twenty meters away.

"No, I'll take care of her...

 I'll take care of her..." He stepped forward reflexively.
 But my weak legs are pathetically weak, and I can only move them slowly.

"d*mn ......!

 The desire for revenge that had been burning for two years.
 And it's so easy to lose it to another man.

 Maybe he's got a grudge against Irina too.
 He's probably got his share of anger, hatred, and despair.
 And yet, I...

I'll ...... him!
What's going on?

 What's going on?" Irina landed on the ground from the portable shrine.

 She's as beautiful as ever... no, far more beautiful than she was two years ago.
 She's as beautiful as a goddess, as pure as a goddess.

 A saint, indeed.
 ......, but only on the outside.

"Barnes, why are you doing this?

 I'm sure you're not the only one.

"Oh, you ...... are the one who did this!

 Barnes shouts, his voice quivering.
 He thrusts his sword in front of her.

I've given everything I have to you! I've done your bidding, I've done your dirty work for you! I've done all the dirty work you've asked me to do, and now when the position of Supreme Priest is up for grabs, you're just going to cut me off? Was I just a tool to you after all?

 He spoke at once.

 The crowd buzzed.

"Oh, come on, what's he talking about, ......?
The saint did such a terrible thing to ......?
No way. Look at Irina's figure. There is no way that such a godly and pure woman would do such a despicable thing.

 The voices of those who were upset by Burns' words were quickly silenced by those who spoke out against it.

In any case, the opposing forces within the cult are trying to plant a dirty image on the saint, right?
That's right. Irina-sama is a true saint who is merciful to everyone!
Saint! Saint!
Saint! Saint! Saint!

 The crowd immediately erupted in cheers.

...... Well, there you have it.

 I'm sure you're not the only one with a good exterior, Irina.

 The air around her was completely on her side.
 In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

"...... Shea, wait a minute.

 I called out to her.
 But before I could say a word to her, she had already read the air and stopped in her tracks.

 However, she seemed to be on alert so that she could stop Barnes if he attacked Irina at any time.

 I should get as close as I can while I can.
 I take a few feeble steps forward.

 In the meantime, the crowd's denunciation of Barnes had begun.

"You're a coward, trying to humiliate the saint!
Who sent you?
Go home!

 "Who sent you?

"d*mn it, ......!

 Burns was getting nervous.

 I guess he wanted to expose Irina's misdeeds in public.
 In fact, given what she had done to me, there was a good chance that Barnes was telling the truth.

 But almost no one in the crowd knew Irina's 'other side'.
 There was no way they would believe Burns.
 And.

"Please stop, gentlemen.

 It was Irina who won the crowd over.

"It seems he's under a spell. He is under the spell of an evil mind, which is the reason he has denounced me and made a fuss about an event that has no basis in fact.

 Irina held out her hands and proclaimed to the crowd.

"Oh, you poor thing! In the name of Saint Irina I will heal you now.
"How dare you!

 Burns screams in anger and slashes at her.

 No, no, no, he was going to slash.

 He stops moving.



"Ugh ......, I'm stuck ......!
"Yes, that's fine.

 Irina held out her right hand towards him.

God help his soul...

 Her eyes glittered as she said the words.

"That was...

 I gulped.

 What Irina had just cast was a higher level of priestly magic.
 And its effect is...

"Ugh ......, what am I ...... doing?

 Barnes's expression changed drastically.
 It's as if something possessive has fallen from his face.

 You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

"Have you calmed down?

 Irina smiles at you.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

 Barnes fell to his knees on the ground.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen! I said some bullshit that never happened! Master Irina would never do such a terrible thing!

 Barnes reversed his attitude and shouted at the crowd.

It seems that in a battle with a certain sorceress, she became trapped in a spell. ...... An abomination unbecoming of a holy knight. ...... Ah.

 He groans in anguish.

"Master Irina! I will pay for the sin of turning my blade against you with my own life!

 As soon as he shouted, Barnes...

 He put his sword to his neck and pulled it out at once.
 The young knight fell to the ground with a gush of fresh blood.

I'm not sure what to say.

 Irina screamed in grief.

 But I didn't miss it.
 You'll be able to see a faint smile appear on Irina's face.

 The spell she had just cast...
 It's a priestly forbidden spell that brainwashes the target and forces them to commit suicide.

 It is a very advanced spell that can only be used by Irina, a high priestess.

"At least, rest in peace.

 Irina murmured with a grief-stricken expression and cast a healing spell.

 The bleeding from Barnes' neck slowed slightly.
 But that didn't stop the bleeding.

 This is just a pose for the crowd.
 Barnes was mortally wounded, and no advanced healing spell could save him.

"Oh, ...... Gu...... Illy...... Nah...... I, of... ...

 Barnes groaned in a muffled voice.

 Did he finally come to his senses a little?
 Or...?

 His hands dropped weakly.
 He didn't move a muscle.

 ...... is dead.

 I felt a sense of relief that I hadn't gotten my revenge partner killed, and pity for him.
 Two emotions well up inside me at the same time.

 "Rest in peace, Barnes.
 I murmured to myself.

"You'll soon be redeemed.

 "by my hand.
