Surviving as a Saint in Another World - Surviving as a Saint in Another World chapter 79

Logging (6)

An unbelievable scene was taking place in the collapsed fortress, the source of the plague.

A hideous tree that grew as if it were going to cover the entire sky. Numerous strange monsters pouring out of that tree.

The only beings who stand against him are a handful of humans and elves, who are likely to be swept away by the monsters any moment.

But to my surprise, each and every one of them was firmly holding their place and dealing with the swarming monsters.

Subtle seogi was pouring out from everyone’s body, and above them, a human floating in the sky was constantly shooting spheres of light.

Rather than humans and elves, it is a sight that seems to be a heavenly army sent by God to defeat the monsters that have grown on the ground.

It looked like a scene from a myth in an ancient document rather than something actually happening in the present world.

However, it did not happen that the army of God dealt with the demons in an instant like the story in mythology.

Those holding their positions were certainly strong, but they were outnumbered and could not move forward, and behind them were several elves and humans who seemed to be seriously injured.

What seems to be an effective blow to the tree is a human flying freely in the sky and shooting light, a human twisting and breaking the tree trunk with strange power, and several knights performing stunts on top of the attacking tree trunk. but that alone was not enough.

The tree that had been hit began to attack more ferociously while constantly screaming and recovering the broken trunk and body.

immortality.

Words that I do not want to imagine began to settle in the heads of those who oppose me.

No matter how much you break, cut, or explode, the sight of recovering damaged parts in an instant and attacking by pulling out more stems was enough to discourage people.

Trees that had grown taller before I knew it and trunks that had grown so densely that it was now difficult to even count began to stretch out as if to devour the surrounding area.

Aside from the anxiety that bloomed in their hearts in the middle of a battlefield where even the slightest mistake could lead to death, those who are performing their respective roles without a hitch were certainly not enough to be called warriors of reversal, but the fact that despair is slowly approaching is all was feeling

However, the reason why they were firmly holding their position was not the same reason as there was no place to run or the order of their superior.

The monster in front of me was too desperate to hold people back for such a snobbish reason.

The knight who had cut the swarming monsters in two at once looked up at the sky in a moment of leisure.

Monsters were still overflowing everywhere, and the stems, which were more numerous than before, were rampaging everywhere, so I couldn’t even tell where they were.

Because of the creepy growing stems, the sky was not visible, and even the light did not come in properly. In the midst of darkness, there was a small light that brightened the darkness.

The light seems to be insufficient to illuminate all the surrounding darkness, but it was endlessly circling around and shooting out light.

It can fly. It would be easier than anyone else to escape from here with just that one.

However, the light flying in the sky arrived here faster than anyone else, sharing power with everyone and working harder than anyone else to drive away the darkness.

Running away in front of that terrible, huge monster was a constant attitude, as if not even thinking about it.

The knight raised his hand for a moment to confirm that the faint glow emanating from his body had not yet disappeared.

It was also felt that the radiance was endowing himself with endless vitality and strength.

As long as this light is not extinguished, there will be no turning back and running away.

The knight once again firmly gripped the sword in his hand.

There were still many monsters to cut down.

…

I stared at the monster tree, still unwilling to collapse, with a look of disgust.

The sickest bastard, far from collapsing, grew bigger than the first time.

Shouldn’t this be running away right now?

That was my honest feeling.

Isn’t this too strong?

Isn’t the balance patch wrong?

I thought everything was over until the first time the princess, the knight commander, and other members joined.

I don’t know why, but the holy power suddenly surged, and the saint beam I shot didn’t knock it down in one blow, but it worked well enough, and I was able to block the attack with the knight commander’s ability, so even in the worst situation, the knight commander blocked the stem and the rest It was only a matter of time before the personnel could deal with it if I acted as a battery while eliminating the demons.

At first, I was wary, thinking there might be devil worshipers besides this tree, but when I looked closely, I saw tiny letters floating around the tree.

Benissa, worshiper of Anheala.

The tree itself seemed to be a devil worshiper.

If an elf is corrupted, isn’t it national rule to become a dark elf?

A s*xy Dark Elf, at least pleasing to the eye, is a terrible tree monster that seems to be kept in hell…

Apart from my small disappointment, then the story was easier.

Because that tree is really the final boss.

Just deal with that and all of this is over.

If it’s really difficult, all you have to do is save the queen and run away.

Since the number of people has increased and my divine power has more room, why not save the queen, reorganize the battle lines, and then push back.

Like those devil worshipers I dealt with at the academy, I might have a hidden one, but even considering that, I thought it was worth dealing with.

But it all happened when that mad tree swallowed the queen whole.

yes, swallowed

Not figuratively, but literally gulp. A crack formed in the body of the tree, and then a mouth formed for real and swallowed the queen.

Do trees eat meat these days?

It was such an absurd sight that even the elves who ran to save the queen stopped in place.

Because of that, the option to retreat in the worst case was blocked.

Knowing what would happen to the queen if she retreated.

Fortunately, I could see the letters of the queen swallowed in the tree, just as I saw the devil hiding in the corpse.

The battle began in earnest as I comforted the panicked elves and asked them to deal with the demons and prune them as I would be in charge of the attack so that the queen would not be harmed.

And it didn’t take long before I realized something was wrong.

That tree was not as strong as I had imagined.

The demons born from the fruit were no different from the demons I had seen so far, and although the attack using the stems and roots was threatening, the knight commander was able to block it, and those who received my buffs were able to block it without difficulty.

The problem wasn’t the fighting power of the tree.

Just in time, the devil who had just been knocked down by the soldiers disappeared as if it were being absorbed into the ground, and seeing the fruit growing rapidly on one side of the tree branch, I could only sigh.

This tree was tenacious.

The fallen demons were absorbed into the ground and were born again bearing fruit, and when the main body of the tree was damaged, the trees in the forest disappeared and recovered again.

Now I understood why the trees in the forest had disappeared earlier and why there were no trees around the citadel.

It must have absorbed the surrounding trees step by step while fighting the Elf Queen while recovering herself in this way.

The problem was that even if he noticed it, there was no way he could do anything about it.

I don’t know if the attack will work then if I attack the forest until it’s all gone, but until then, it was just a war of attrition where only one side was forced to exchange.

Our side had a much better chance of being wiped out before the forest was gone.

And that wasn’t all.

As soon as one of the elf knights was killed by the concentrated fire, the roots that rose from the ground wrapped around the elf knight, absorbed it, and extended its branches.

It seemed that the tree could absorb not only the demons and trees it created, but also other people to feed on.

Perhaps, if all the subjugation party had arrived, the island of Hell might have unfolded even more than now.

Currently, the elite members are enduring with minimal deaths, but if there are more members of the subjugation team, the number of people dying will increase as well.

For a war of attrition, we also need a lot of people, but it is an irrational structure that the more people there are, the stronger the opponent.

If it wasn’t for the real queen, she would have said to retreat right away and burn the whole forest first.

It was a moment when I was just wasting time helplessly because I couldn’t think of a way to deal with it.

Rather, I was contemplating how to rescue the queen by attacking the surroundings of the queen trapped in the tree so that she could somehow be exposed, and a strange figure caught my eye.

The letters that had been revolving around the tree were gradually drawn into the tree and began to appear around the queen.

I didn’t have full clairvoyance, so I couldn’t tell exactly what was going on inside, but it didn’t feel like a positive sign.

It would be best if the queen miraculously escaped from here, but common sense would have a higher chance of being absorbed or corrupted than that.

And they are immortalized to become friends with this tree right before they fall, such as being mentally connected to a devil worshiper.

Given the queen’s personality, isn’t this a very probable development?

I stopped attacking the tree for a while and looked at the situation.

I don’t know if it feels like that because I’m sure the devil worshiper is up to something, but the offensive is less aggressive than a moment ago.

The fact that my divine power had also risen again was too close to the limit.

Could this be your last chance?

I called together the scattered personnel, including the knight commander who was concentrating on the offensive.

“Why but a saint.”

“I wonder if something happened to my mother…”

“Not really, but I think the devil worshipers will play tricks from now on.”

“It’s a big deal. To be honest, I have to admit I’m underestimating being a demon worshiper. It’s tricky, but I didn’t expect it to be this powerful.”

I sincerely sympathize with you. If all devil worshipers are like this, it’s good enough that the real world hasn’t perished.

“Then what the hell are we supposed to do…”

It was really fortunate that they took my words for granted, which were difficult to explain, such as whether they knew where the queen was or what was likely to happen.

I quickly got the matter out.

“I think this is our last chance. It may be a bit risky, but we have to take it to save the queen.”

After I finished speaking, I looked at the princess for a while.

Actually, I was going to go ahead with it even if the princess refused, but wouldn’t it be best to agree to my will?

The princess looked around once and then nodded with a hard face.

The princess must have known that there would be no hope if she continued like this.

“I’m going to the nearest place where the Queen is being held. Open the way.”

Although the attack of the tree has become passive, it was difficult to feel it to the extent that it was actually my delusion, and it was clear that I would encounter stronger resistance as I headed towards the center of the tree.

“A saint will be in the lead?”

“I’m the only one who knows exactly where the Queen is.”

“Isn’t that what you need to tell me? It’s too dangerous.”

“That’s right. It’s true that we’re doing our best to save the queen, but there’s no need for a saint to take the lead in that operation.”

“Even if I explain how far it is okay to attack the tree, it’s hard to guess, and if something changes, such as the sudden change of the Queen’s position, it’s right that I take the lead in order to deal with the situation right away.”

The princess, who was briefly conflicted by my words, nodded her head with difficulty.

It was undeniable that it was best for me to do the best to save the queen, and since I didn’t think I was going to back down, it seemed like I decided not to waste my time.

…

I don’t think I’ll back down.

It was a very strange story.

In fact, rationally, if I had come this far, I thought it would be appropriate to have the queen become friends with the devil worshipers, even if I handed over the leading role in all of this to the queen.

Even until I got out of the expedition without the princess’s knowledge and headed to this place, until I started to deal with the monster tree with the people after my holy power was filled, I committed it because I had a calculation that at least one life could be preserved in the end.

However, there was no such confidence in the rescue operation that was to be carried out from now on.

There was no guarantee of success, and even if I did all of this, it was hard to gauge whether it would be worth the reward.

Then why the hell did you propose such a reckless operation?

“Never, never, I will never let a single hair on Saint Ronan’s hair be hurt.”

While I was lost in thought, the princess muttered that with a determined expression.

When I woke up, the elven knights, the princess, the knight commander, knights, magicians, and priests were all looking at me with determined expressions.

They looked like they’d say they’d obey even if I had to jump into lava to save the world.

To be honest, it was too much emotion for me to handle.

I stood up from my seat feeling a strange itchy feeling in my body.

For now, let’s focus on this situation. It’s not too late to survive those thoughts.

“I’ll go.”

I didn’t hear an answer. After I finished speaking, I immediately jumped up and flew.

The trunks of trees that recognized me poured down on me.

Normally, they would have to do evasive maneuvers or erect barriers to block them, but they did not.

bang!

Just before the stem reached me, a wall of earth rose with a roar and blocked the stem, and the stem was cut off by the sword of the knight riding on it.

Dozens of stems reaching out to me were simultaneously blocked.

I didn’t care about the stem anymore.

It flew in a straight line, focusing all its attention on the position of the devil worshiper and queen in the tree.

As I got closer to the tree, the attacks of the stems became more and more ferocious, and it was now impossible to identify all the stems flying at me with my body vision and reflexes.

To prevent this, I would have to put a barrier around my body, but instead of wasting my holy power like that, I focused more on flying and strengthened the grace of my followers.

As I live, there are times when I entrust my life to others to fly, and I don’t know what the real world is like.

In terms of experience, it probably didn’t take long in reality.

The moment I reached the outermost tree bark from the inside of the tree where the queen and the demon worshiper were located, the surroundings went dark.

The trunks of trees seemed to have changed their strategy, and they were filling up all around me, blocking my retreat.

And the terrible eyes I saw at first reappeared from the tree, and the outer skin I touched began to crack.

[Why? Why did you make that choice? Are you despising me even after coming here? Do you despise me?]

A voice I hadn’t heard before began to echo in my head, probably because it was touching my skin.

It wasn’t a very good feeling.

[stupid. Your arrogance will lead you to death, just as the Queen’s petty compassion led to death for all. As expected, the name of contempt does not suit you.]

This guy is still talking nonsense even after coming here.

And even if I tried to say something plausible while clumsily weighing it like that, I wouldn’t be nervous at all because it was the same voice that had already broken my fantasy before?

Instead of answering, I began to draw divine power into my hands.

[You know what lies underneath…]

I know it well. I came here because I knew it too well.

Before the demon worshiper could finish his words, I implanted my holy power.

bang!

Contrary to the fairly loud sound, there was no major scratch.

Controlling this power is harder than I thought.

To make matters worse, as if my attack had stimulated something, the outer skin of the tree swayed and moved, and the painful faces of people began to appear on it.

[Did you come all the way here with only that much power left? You are so arrogant.]

It’s really very noisy.

bang!

I once again implanted the divine power into the tree.

aaagh!!

Terrible screams began to erupt from the face that appeared on the surface.

[Ha ha ha, you will die here! right by my hand! And… what?]

The brain-shaking scream and the demon worshiper’s voice overlapped, holding my head for a moment, then the demon worshiper’s panicked voice rang out.

[Queen…! Fight until the end…!]

I guess it’s not just these loud, disgusting faces that my attacks provoked?

This is a two-sided attack, you bastard!

[What, what are you trying to do? Are you willing to die together like this? stop!]

…what? No, wait. It really stops.

At this moment, I wholeheartedly cheered for the devil worshipers.

Dry the queen quickly!
