Raising Paladins - Raising Paladins chapter 134

Episode 134. Pinas Revolution (2)

“Mayrium’s Sacred Tree must have blossomed.”

A knife sitting askew on a large rock in the backyard.

In his eyes, he could see the divine power Meisa possessed.

The sun god dwelled in her body.

“I-really?! Then what I saw on the island was really… … ???”

“Yes, it is divine power. The sun god has chosen you as the next priest. congratulations.”

“Ahh… … !”

overflowing with joy

Power entered Meisa’s tightly clenched fists.

“Pull out the rapier.”

“yes… … ?”

“I have to check. Go ahead and pull it out.”

Sureureung.

Meisa drew her rapier.

Because I always pay attention to maintenance, the blade was alive despite frequent use.

“Do your best to attack me.”

“… … ?”

“hurry.”

Meisa notices that Carl is not joking.

She quickly stabbed her in the front.

The attack was so bloody that if there were anyone watching, it would be like a murder.

It was a simple standard thrust, but its speed and power were amazing.

self!

Carl bent his head slightly, letting go of the tip of his rapier aiming at the human.

Maysa turned with a gentle, graceful motion.

Pingrr.

The rapier that had gone backwards was already in Meisa’s left hand.

“Hoo.”

Transition from right sword to left sword.

It also achieves a natural transition during battle.

A change in the hand holding the sword means a change in the form of attack, and in order to do so freely, the body had to be fully mastered of various fighting styles.

The ensuing slash attack took the knife back a few steps.

“It was a good attack.”

Carl said with a smile on his lips.

“ah… … !”

Meisa, who has had a lot of sparring with Carl so far.

However, the tip of the sword did not even reach the edge of the sword.

Carl avoided Meisa’s attack by knowing the route in advance, like an adult accepting a child’s prank.

But this time it was different.

After all, I couldn’t reach Carl’s body, but it made him take a step backwards at the moment.

It was a huge growth.

“You have already received divine power into your entire body without even knowing it. His attacks are light and accurate, and his eyes to see the opponent’s weaknesses have definitely improved. You have crossed the wall.”

Nod.

Meisa’s eyes were filled with emotion.

“But you are unable to draw out the true power the sun god gave you. It is a natural force.”

“A natural force?”

“Look at this.”

Carl spread his palms.

Immediately, white energy rushed in from all sides, and white flames rose on the palm of my hand.

“omg!”

The miracle of making a fire without flint or firewood.

Meisa was startled by the flames that burned on the palms of people.

“It’s a white flame. It is the power I received from the sun god. It is a technique called natural force substitution, which converts divine power into pure white flame. Each battle priest has a different natural power, but in my case it’s the flame. It is much hotter than normal flames, but those who have faith in the sun god do not feel the heat at all. Conversely, it is fatal to those who worship the moon and death.”

“Ahh… … .”

“I feel that within your body, Meisa, there is a divine power that has already been replaced by natural power. you have to pull it out Only then will you be able to use the true power you received from the sun god. Only then will you become a true battle priest.”

Carl approached Maysa.

“Tell me, what kind of natural force did you see?”

“It was clouds and lightning. A small cloud floated, and lightning passed through it. When I first touched it, it was thrilling as if I was electrocuted.”

“Lightning?!”

This time, Carl was surprised.

Lightning was the power of one of the four knights who faithfully followed the sword in their past lives.

He was innately crippled with divine power, so he didn’t feel divine power at all until he met Carl.

However, through sword training, he became the number one person in the part of substituting divine power into natural power.

The power of the knight, named ‘Angel’ and whose hometown was Meirium, was the power of lightning.

“The sun god gave you the power of lightning… … .”

“Is something wrong?”

“No, I was just a little surprised.”

A knife that reminded me of old memories.

He spoke of the lightning that was Angel’s power.

“It can be said that replacing divine power with lightning is the strongest blessing among the blessings the sun god bestows on the battle priest. Fire and lightning are the natural forces closest to the divine power. If you master that power, even if you are surrounded by tens of thousands of enemies, they will rather fear you. That’s a lot of power.”

“ah… … .”

Angel, who was one of the commanders of the 4 knights.

It took him a long time to convert divine power into natural power and put lightning in his weapon.

Although Meisa was gifted and received systematic training from a young age, she accepted the divine power later than the other disciples.

Angel and Meisa had a lot in common in many ways.

“I will start training today. It is a special training to bring out the substitution of natural force.”

“Special training!”

Maysa’s eyes twinkled.

Even the big men find it difficult to overcome Carl’s training, so when the word training is mentioned, they quickly turn their tails and run away.

But Maya was the opposite.

The more hard the body is and the more calluses are on the hands, the more thrilling the personality.

Besides, I thought I was falling behind Tirana Hansson.

Meisa was very happy with Carl’s special training.

“Usually, it is standard practice to slowly learn the divine power application class and try the natural force substitution at the end. But we don’t have time. You must have seen the sorceress Helena, too, right?”

“yes.”

“The fact that Helena appeared means that the return of the Lich King is not far away. As soon as we arrive in Meirium, we must immediately send a messenger to the capital and prepare for a massive battle. Meisa’s divine power replacement must also be completed before then. Only then can you face the enemy. The enemies we will fight will not compare to those we have faced so far. So, take heart.”

“I understand, chief.”

“Okay, then let’s start right away.”

Carl picked up a stick from nearby.

“The first is to block 10 of my attacks.”

***

“Captain Si-eon, are you okay?”

Si-eon lies in a shabby tent.

A tall man came in from outside and asked anxiously.

Sigian also plays the role of an executive of the Pinas Pirates, but the tent was too old and shabby to be called a residence for an executive.

All that was inside was simple bedding, a table for a dining table, and a chair.

I felt at once how Sigeon was being treated in the Pirates.

“How are your wounds?”

“It’s okay, Keynes. Lower your voice than that.”

Keynes, also a member of the militia.

He remained with the pirates to assist Sigian.

The other pirates didn’t know that Caynes was a militia.

“I think the wound will heal soon. He is a great priest.”

A knife wound wrapped in bandages.

It was a wound inflicted by Meisa’s rapier.

At first glance, it looks very injured and there is quite a bit of bleeding.

However, the internal organs were accurately avoided, and the wounds did not tear or spread because Meisa skillfully stabbed her with a very sharp rapier.

If I applied the medicine well and recuperated, I thought I would be better in a few days.

“That priest clearly grasped the captain’s intentions. I just needed to be hurt enough not to be suspected.”

“Keep your voice down, Keynes. Who will listen?”

“yes.”

It’s a tent of Sigian, but ears are everywhere.

Harpy Island is where spies planted by Henry Morgan are secretly moving everywhere.

As warned, Keynes lowered his voice.

“Letters have arrived, one from Lieutenant Gillian, and one from the inhabitants of another island. What would you like to see first?”

“From the second.”

“Read it. It is said that there are many people on other islands in the archipelago who want to rebel against the tyranny of the harpies. I’m going to rally them and start a revolution. The Wine Smugglers Association has also promised to contribute to our militia.”

“How likely are they to be double agents?”

“It’s not like I wasn’t worried about that either, but I think the chances of that happening are remarkably low. Wine smugglers are also forcibly mobilized for the pirates’ foundry business, and most of the profits that should go to them are taken away.”

“That’s right. In fact, except for Henry Morgan and the head of the pirates, there is little to gain. All of them are occupied by the guys above.”

Pasut!

Sigeon throws a letter into the brazier that has been lit to keep the tent warm.

Then I read the letter from Gillian.

“Gillian did a great job.”

“The foundry raid was truly extraordinary. It is said that they burned down the foundry, the main source of income for the pirates, and burned all the rum and riches they had stored there.”

“It’s important to hit the pirates, but it’s more important to light a fire in people’s hearts than that.”

“you’re right. The reputation of the Harpy Pirates, who were thought to be invincible, has been damaged, so the backlash will grow. It will be really worth seeing if the hearts of the residents, who have been suppressed by the reign of terror, burst out all at once. Thanks to the priests who came, our work is really easy. Even during the raid on the foundry, a female priest named Meisa played a great role, right?”

“Yeah, he gave me this sword as a gift too. Kuk-kuk-kuk.”

Sigeon healed the sore wound.

At that time, there was a person approaching from outside.

“Hey, Sigeon. The Harpy is looking for you.”

The one who entered was the guy acting as Henry Morgan’s messenger.

He was a guy who lived off all the flattery next to Henry Morgan, and he was wicked.

However, he was very quick with his eyesight, so he needed to be careful about his words and actions in front of him.

“Sigian was hurt. Can’t you see that?”

“So what?”

When Keynes got angry, the pirate laughed.

“Your limbs weren’t cut off, so it was just a single stab wound? Are you going to refuse the harpy’s call? If that’s the case, I’ll go right away and tell you that. How is it, Sigeon?”

“This bastard really!”

Keynes and the pirate grabbed each other by the collar.

It was a grim atmosphere where blood could be seen before a revolution could happen if something went wrong.

“Keynes, it’s okay. If the harpy calls, of course I have to go.”

“… … .”

Took!

The pirate shook Keynes’ hand.

Then he brought his face closer and smiled round and round.

“hehehe, you better get in line, Keynes. Sigeon, whom you like, has already become a harpy’s limb. You don’t know that, do you?”

“Let’s go.”

“I will.”

Siegian put his hand on the pirate’s shoulder and went outside.

Left alone in the tent, Keynes gnashed his teeth.

‘When the revolution starts, I’ll take care of you first!’

The trashy leaders of the Harpy Pirates.

They all plunder and harass the people of the Pinas Islands.

Not only children but also young women have been shamed.

The archipelago’s natives’ resentment toward the harpies was growing quietly.
