The Half-Puny Priest Hopes To Retire - The Half-Puny Priest Hopes To Retire chapter 240

240 – A Song for the Burned Ashes (11)

”Wow…”

Is it the aftermath of the dizzying aerobatics with the saint?

Everything inside the boat poured out.

Even when I was a new adventurer and had my leg grabbed by a wyvern and flew through the sky like a dandelion seed, I don’t think I felt this sick.

Her beautiful appearance reminiscent of an angel in the Bible, she was in a bad mood as it was the worst ride of her life.

”·····”

”·····”

In my vision blurred by motion sickness, I saw the warrior and the saint glaring at each other as if they were going to kill each other.

No words were exchanged between the two, but just looking at the sparkling snowball fight, the sharp intentions they had were clearly conveyed to my skin.

How long has it been since I told you to wait in a safe place with me while we safely subdue the rampaging monsters outside the castle walls?

The actions of the saint who literally flew to this dangerous place with me wrapped around me must have seemed quite disapproving to the warrior.

”I’m afraid it will be difficult. I’m here to help.”

Puzzle.

As the saintess, with her arms on her waist, spoke with great force, the air around the warrior shook with solemnity.

I could tell that there wasn’t even a hint of malice in those words, but he couldn’t have been a hero.

Although his face was smiling brightly, it was clear that lava-like anger was pulsating in the thick, prominent blood vessels between the hero’s eyebrows and around the corners of his mouth.

Sreung. Chuck.

Big Team calmly stopped the warrior who was about to take out his sword.

Sreung. Chuck. Sreung. Chuck. Sreung. Chuck.

How long has it been since the warrior’s sword repeatedly came in and out of its scabbard?

”Don’t play around! Come quickly and help!”

Thanks to Apis’s evil command, our time, which had stopped for a while, began to move again.

”Everyone, step back—!”

As soon as Apis’s shout ended, Dauna unleashed the vast amount of magical energy she had gathered on the front lines.

Wow!

The ferocious snow that spewed out from Dauna’s grasp passed by the top of my head

The cold was so harsh that even the slightest touch to her hair made the fur on her body her stand on end.

Quad deud deuk——! Kwaang!

I stumbled and looked back at the feeling of a dusky presence coming from my back.

Then, the sight of the huge monster that was about to attack us, frozen by Dauna’s freezing magic, came into full view.

”Oops!”

”I’m sorry! Lowville! I made a mistake controlling my strength because I didn’t have a cane! Is he hurt anywhere? ”

As I was left with my mouth wide open and unable to contain my confusion for a while, Dauna, looking exhausted, came towards me panting.

”Che, you’re welcome. Thanks to you, I survived. Downa.”

”Phew…”

As she moved her mouth, frozen in fear, to announce that she was okay, Dauna expressed intense relief as she stroked her chest.

”Get out of the way!”

At that moment, Apis cried out on her head and aimed his bow in front of her.

”Ugh!”

I lowered my head reflexively.

Then, this time, Apis’ fiery arrow passed right through my frozen idiot fur.

Ping! Kwaaang—─!

The monster that had been hit by Apis’s wide bow had its upper body swayed behind her.

It was hard to see because of the heat wave, but the power I could feel through my skin was enough to make me think it wouldn’t be that strange if the monster’s head flew off.

However, my complacent judgment was immediately corrected by Apis ‘quietly muttered words to herself.

”Plague…”

Thud! Coogung!

A monster calmly adjusting its posture while holding its face her with one hand.

At first glance, it was a movement that was far from a fatal wound.

”Tch! This is why the bows and arrows of the humans cannot be used! The toothpicks handed out at the bar would be better!”

Apis suddenly became angry and irritated her by lashing out at her, but when the monster swung her arm again, she immediately suppressed her emotions.

”Everyone avoid it──!!”

Boom! Kwaaang─!!!

The loud noise and tinnitus cut out my hearing, and the countless piles of stones fluttering like flower petals took away my sight.

Therefore, the only thing I could fully feel at that moment was the unfamiliar feeling of floating, as if someone was lifting my body from below.

”Father! Are you okay?”

”Hey, warrior?”

I barely responded to the warrior’s earnest call in an ecstatic tone.

It was right after that that I realized that I was being embraced like a princess by a warrior.

In just a few dozen seconds after arriving at the battlefield, I’ve already watched Nightmare twice.

If we do well, wouldn’t we be able to surpass today’s record?

I made a careful prediction.

”Wow! As expected, that cross-legged b*stard is twice as hard as the fat guy I soaked earlier!”

”The limit for binding it with magic is only about 1 second! I won! Even if only the cane was fine…!”

While my colleagues were having a heated discussion about subduing the monster in front of me, I was alone in a fierce battle with a sense of self-destruction.

From noble mtl dot nete

You can’t be of help to your colleagues, but as soon as you arrive, they grab you by the ankles.

Even though it wasn’t my intention, it still made me feel uncomfortable.

”By the way! I told you to hide quietly! Why did you come all the way out here? This idiot!?”

”Big!”

”Ah, Apis! No violence!”

”Calm down! Apis!”

My head, which had fallen helplessly from Apis’ punch, was indescribably sore.

The warrior, who was in tears, and Dauna tried to dissuade Apis, but I was grateful to Apis.

Thanks to this, my vision, which had become dark due to self-destruction, was able to clear up a little.

”Anyway, get rid of that! We have to get rid of the monsters that will soon be appearing all over the city! Why buy it and increase the work, damn it! Damn it!”

”Ahh! Apis! Now, wait! Talk to me! Please listen to me! Ah!”

”Apis! If it’s corporal punishment! I am! I will accept it on your behalf! So please stop your anger!”

”Fight, don’t fight!”

I tried to explain the situation, but words could not come out of my mouth due to the torture of Apis, who tried to pull my head out of my body with tremendous force.

It was right then.

A holy voice, like a revelation from the Lord, spoke quietly above our heads.

”You don’t have to worry about that.”

Flap!

The person who spoke that voice was the saint who spread the wings she had taken out when she carried me.

Wings of flight, one of the saint’s highest miracles recorded in the classical Bible.

I suddenly began to wonder whether it was okay to abuse that sacred miracle to attract others’ attention like that, but I couldn’t say anything because the person I was dealing with was a saint.

Quick!

The sound of blood vessels bursting was heard again around the warrior’s eyebrows.

The reason was no different.

Because the ground where the saintess was standing with her her feet her her her she was right above her warrior’s head her her her.

What I said earlier was an unintentional mistake, but now it was clearly intentional.

”What…”

Her bold words and actions made even Apis at a loss for words for a moment, so that our attention was naturally focused on her.

”Bad monsters are already happening, but you don’t have to worry about that. Now, all we have to do is finish that together.”

”What!?”

”What is that!?”

Apis and Dauna were visibly embarrassed by the saint’s few indifferent words.

Big Tim didn’t just show it, but judging by the way she pursed her lips, she seemed quite agitated.

She had no choice but to do so.

Based on my experience in conquering numerous dungeons, I thought I would have at least a few dozen minutes to spare, but the monster infestation has already happened.

That meant that a wind of blood was blowing through the city, where many citizens had not yet been able to evacuate.

”Why say that now! You idiot! Then it’s not the time to be like this! Fuck! First, let’s start by rescuing civilians after being torn in two!”

”Be cool! Apis! If we divide the personnel here and now, won’t the subjugation of that monster become even more clear!”

”Huh!”

Apis bit her lip as if she was annoyed by Dauna’s cool-headed criticism of her.

Watching them speak, it seemed like they were both so shocked by what the saint said first that they didn’t hear what she said afterwards.

”Both of you, calm down. There are definitely monsters in the city, but you probably don’t have to worry about that.”

”What…?”

”Huh?”

When I, who was worse off, tried to mediate the situation, both people’s heads tilted diagonally at the same time.

”The situation is a bit complicated, so I can’t explain it right now, but there is no need to worry about the safety of the city’s citizens at all. I can guarantee that one thing.”

After a short silence, they soon spoke again.

”What, you said that already. Good. So now I just need to focus on hitting that thing, right?”

”Phew. If that’s the case, then I’m sure it’s safe.”

Have you ever felt the importance of your daily conduct more keenly than at this moment?

It was surprising to see that people who had been distracted over an unexpected situation just a little while ago regained their cool with just a few words from me.

Now, with this, all the tangled problems have been smoothly resolved.

If there is only one problem left, it is.

”How long are you planning to stay on top of people’s heads?”

Boom—!

”And. Bowwow. I’m angry. I was angry.”

How can we safely finish subduing monsters with these two people…
