The Half-Puny Priest Hopes To Retire - The Half-Puny Priest Hopes To Retire chapter 218

218 – Life Is a Flower. Love Is the Nectar of the Flower. (5)

For a moment, I thought I had heard wrong.

From noble mtl dot nete

Like cotton soaked in a lot of water, the ear canals soaked with fatigue would have distorted the shape of the words. I subconsciously jumped to that conclusion.

However, that moment of escape from reality was instantly cut in two by the violent heat that threatened to engulf my body, and the warrior’s sword sharply cutting through the heat.

Quaaa!

The flames that felt like they were going to cook my skin just by passing through each place chilled my stomach.

But what has shocked me the most now is not the flame itself, but the subject.

It was the face of an all-too-familiar figure walking trotting from the epicenter of the flames.

”Dauna…?”

The open field of view without any obstructions revealed the identity of the mysterious attacker.

However, the answer, which was far outside the expected range, did not resolve doubts, but rather aggravated them.

Why on earth would she? Why do you do this?

I wanted to ask that question right now, but only breaths, almost like sobs, escaped one after another from the tips of my dry, dry lips.

”You…!”

Apis must have been so embarrassed that she completely forgot my warning not to open her mouth until the treatment was over, and she was muttering to herself in horror.

”Stop it now! Downa! I was wrong!”

The warrior seemed to be the only one here who wasn’t eaten by this chaotic situation.

Is that all there is?

The warrior seemed to have an idea as to why Dauna was acting like that.

I swallowed dry saliva without thinking.

Why would she attack a colleague who was like her family while she was in the middle of a dungeon raid?

For me, who had seen from the sidelines how close their relationship was, it was a situation I couldn’t imagine, no, I didn’t even want to imagine.

”I inadvertently mentioned the ending of a novel I was reading a while ago! I didn’t know you had it so much in your heart! I sincerely apologize! I hope you will stop your anger!”

Withdrawal of message.

It seemed like the hero was equally confused as to why Dauna was acting like that.

”Hey! Warrior! Look ahead! Front!”

”Yes?”

Through my prayers, Apis, who had recovered to the point where he was speechless, hurriedly cried out.

Her outstretched index finger pointed at Dawna, and all of our gazes, following its trajectory, were filled with astonishment.

”A golden arrow blessed with the sun’s grace. A hexagonal group of lights that embraces mercy and grace. Spreading the curse hidden behind mercy throughout the world. Bite the enemy’s neck with those shapeless tusks─.”

”Now, wait! Wait! Downa!”

She hurriedly cried out her name, but Dauna’s mechanical chanting showed no signs of stopping.

It was a big deal.

If I remember correctly, that spell is a chant of annihilation magic that indiscriminately wipes out everything around the caster.

It was clear what Downa’s behavior was implying.

I am sincere.

Now, Dowoona was trying to kill the hero with all her heart.

”Hey! What are you doing! Warrior! Pull out the knife!”

”Ha, but! Apis! Downa is a friend! I’m a colleague!”

”Don’t talk nonsense, just pick it!”

Quagang! Quagang! Quagga River—!

Her dizzying barrage her came in succession at the warrior who reluctantly drew her sword in response to Apis’s provocation her her her her.

My clear vision was engulfed in a strong flash in the blink of an eye, and my clear consciousness was caught up in the distortion of the martial arts and became blurred for a very brief moment.

Saaa.

As the swirling dust passed by, the first thing I saw was the devastated surrounding area.

The sight of the materials that had tightly covered the floor being torn apart in a mess was as devastating as a place struck by a strong earthquake.

”Cough! Cough! Hey, warrior! Apis!”

Every time a blood-soaked cough broke out, the pain in the back of my throat became increasingly severe, and I occasionally frowned.

However, even with such a narrow field of view, I was able to fully capture the turbulent scene unfolding right in front of my nose.

Kwasik!

The warrior held up his body with difficulty by slamming the sword he was holding into the ground.

And Dauna is looking down at the hero.

The heterogeneous sight, which aroused strong disharmony with the appearance of the women I originally knew, not only did not feel realistic, but even felt a sense of disconnection.

”Ha·····. Ha…”

”·····”

The warrior was breathing heavily and showed a rare sign of exhaustion.

Now that I looked, the hero’s behavior was just as bad as mine and Apis’s.

Clothing tattered with traces of slashing and ignition.

The cloak was completely tattered, with holes big and small.

The guard worn around his shoulder was unsightly and distorted, with no trace of its original shape.

In comparison, Dowona’s appearance her her her she was flawless and clean, whether it was her her face her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her.

How many times has the hero repeated the same irrational attack and defense as before?

Suddenly, such a thought passed through my mind.

”Downa…”

”·····”

The heartbreaking call of a warrior who was suddenly touched.

But Dauna still remained silent.

I have never seen her black eyes, which were reminiscent of brilliant black pearls, emitting such inorganic darkness.

”The whip of dawn wrapped in the grace of moonlight.”

”─!”

The second chant follows. The surrounding air vibrated even more violently than the previous chant, showing the world how powerful that magic was.

”Dow! Cough, cluck! Cough!”

She tried to scream loudly with her closed throat, but the blood and pain rising from her throat prevented her from doing so.

It was still difficult to find the warrior willing to counterattack Dauna.

It was inevitable.

Before Apis gave the command, there was no way that the warrior, whose camaraderie was so special, could not even think of taking out his sword from its scabbard his.

”Ugh…!”

Is it because I lost too much blood?

Suddenly, my brain became dizzy.

To be honest, she couldn’t even guess why Dauna suddenly wanted to kill the hero.

The most plausible hypothesis I could think of right now was that she was being manipulated by someone.

No matter how much I thought about it, it made no sense for Dauna, who had an absolute resistance to various mental attacks due to a time when she was deeply immersed in black magic, to fall for someone else’s tricks.

Moreover, it was none other than Dawna who taught me that completely taking control of another person’s mind requires an enormous amount of preparation and time.

Piyung!

At that moment, the majestic sound of an arrow coming from outside my field of vision instantly blew away all the distracting thoughts in my head.

Kwaang!

The arrow aimed precisely at Dauna’s feet cut off her chant her, and that moment’s respite saved the warrior’s life.

”Ah, Apis!”

”What are you doing! You idiot! Just run!”

”Huh! Yes, four!”

Apis harshly criticized the warrior, who opened his eyes wide and looked surprised.

This time too, the prayer was cut off in the middle, so I was quite worried.

Looking at her her her her bow skills her, aiming accurately at Dow Na’s her feet her her even amidst the rubble of the building, fortunately, it seemed like she had regained her original condition to some extent .

”Thank you! Apis! Thanks to you, I survived!

Thing.

Apis glared harshly at the warrior who brightly expressed his gratitude, silently expressed his displeasure.

”Oh my, you burnt man. Even if the taste of Downa is gone. Until she gets to that point, why does she foolishly get beaten up? Just like when sparring, just grab it and knock it out, right?”

”What are you saying! Apis! Don’t you use wooden swords during sparring? What are you going to do if you pull out the real sword and Dauna gets hurt?”

”If she puts her sword in its sheath her her her, it’s a wooden sword or a real sword, that’s it! Damn it!”

”Ah!”

How long has it been since there was a conversation that made my brain tingle just by hearing it?

Suddenly, Apis spoke to Dauna with a heavy breath.

”Hey, what the hell is this…”

At Apis’ question her, Dauna’s head twisted towards her.

Her her her her organic reaction her her her to meeting her and seeing her for the first time.

However, from Downa’s inorganic expression her her, as if she was looking at an emotionless doll, there was only a dusky coolness.

”Oh… Hey…”

Just then, she opened her mouth for the first time.

Although its power her was so small that even a candle could not be extinguished.

To us now, that thin voice felt as huge as an echo in a cave.

”Downa! If you have any complaints, please tell us! I will fix it!”

The warrior, who seemed unable to wait for Dauna’s answer, rang out his voice powerfully once again.

But Dauna, who let that loud cry go like a rumor on the wind, pointed at me with a languid movement of her hand and said quietly:

”I’m going to touch you too…”

”·····Yes?”

How long did the silence from my hazy breathing last?

Before long, the warrior responded to Dauna’s words like this.

”That’s not possible.”

Holding the knife tightly, which I had not shown any sign of swinging just a moment ago.
