I Will Smash Everything With My Passive Skills - Chapter 72
072. Faith (2)
“Veris von Wittelsbach.”
“Do you know me?”
Berrys questioned the girl who correctly named his own.
A girl Berris doesn’t remember.
But she didn’t even feel the need to search her memories.
A priestess who works with her eyes closed. She certainly wouldn’t have felt strange to her if she’d seen her even once.
“It is because of you that I came to the academy.”
“What?”
Her girl put her hands together as Veris let out her questions.
It was a prayer, an attitude in which all priests would be as casual as eating a meal.
“I will annihilate the enemies of the faith.”
“What do you mean by that? Unapint!”
Cried Cecilia, her dazed face.
As if Cecilia’s voice couldn’t reach her girl, she was looking at Veris with her eyes open.
“To eliminate the enemies of the church. That is the driving force behind giving up the position of a saintess.”
The figure of Priest Yunapintran, who was waving golden waves, had a very benevolent face.
The problem is that what she’s after is Veris’ life.
Verys, who was quite quick-witted, knew very well what Yunafint wanted right now.
“You came to get rid of me.”
Sureureung!
Verith’s old iron sword was revealed.
For a while, Veris asked while holding her sword, while the people around her quickly fled at the suddenly bursting ghastly atmosphere and cutlery.
“Why?”
“…… I can’t tell.”
Yunafint, who had shimmering golden eyes, said so.
At that, Berris seemed to burst into laughter.
He knew very well that most of those who were originally from the Demonic Cult or those from the Holy Kingdom who were deeply rooted in their faith looked like this.
But it is.
“Do you know why I sent the heretic inquisitor back to life?”
“…… ?”
The golden eyes of Yuna Pint shimmered again at Veris’ chant, which had no target.
Whether she did it or not, Veris continued her words.
“Because he never showed his teeth to me.”
──Ugh!
And soon the feast of mana begins.
For the first time in my life, I felt emotion in Yuna Pint’s eyes, that overwhelming mana.
The name of the emotion…….
From noble mtl dot com
It was embarrassing.
“Give me the courage to overcome my enemies, this weakling.”
It is Veris who, like her, caused her enmity.
Unafint stared at the sword in Berris’ hand without a word, and soon began to show his power.
A miracle.
According to Cecilia’s brief explanation, each of the high-ranking priests in the Holy Land performs miracles bestowed by God.
That’s why people on the continent believe in the existence of God without doubt.
Since a holy being wielding the power of God lives and breathes together, who would dare to doubt the existence of God?
─Shoot ah….
As expected, the power of the Yunapint priest that Cecilia spoke of was not an average one.
The atmosphere that changed in an instant proves that.
Of course, Veris didn’t mean to be treated quietly with a stupid face.
“This is the final warning. Go away.”
“I can’t do that. Everything is done according to the will of God.”
The golden wave began to stir once again.
I didn’t even have to see what that meant.
“Are you serious? Yuna Pint, Veris-sama, on the contrary, is the one who protects me…… !”
“O great lord of light, blind the enemy.”
Without even listening to Cecilia’s words, the girl’s sonorous prayer resounded in the alleys of the dark commercial district.
* * *
Palak.
A girl sitting in her own room in her mansion was turning her bookshelves without saying a word to her.
The girl’s name is Arwen Enixray. She is from the Great Forest in the East, and she is an elf.
She recently realized that.
Even if a person living in this world has very strong power, in the end, if the substance is insignificant, it is nothing but a shell.
Let’s think back to an incident not long ago.
Arwen couldn’t argue with her saying that Veris was going down into that dangerous dungeon again.
The reason is simple. This is because she is something Veris must take care of.
However, even if her powers were even stronger, there was a possibility that Veris would not have taken her.
Knowledge, wisdom.
That intangible power was stronger than I thought.
Beatrice, who is naturally awkward with Veris, even just seeing her ex-fiancé going to the underground dungeon together!
Palak.
“… ….”
Therefore, Arwen did not neglect the task of accumulating her knowledge.
[ Holy Mana, Miracles of High Priests ]
I was intrigued by the book that Arwen is reading this time because he knew more about it than I thought.
She is Arwen, who lives under the same roof with Cecilia right now.
Because the girl who appears in the book’s content and is the symbol of the high priest is both Arwen’s friend and rival.
[ All high-ranking priests who handle divine mana can perform ‘miracle’. The target does not cover anything from objects to people and monsters, and there are priests who have the power to change the world according to innate miracles. ]
“This is… ….”
Arwen, who had been reading the book for a long time, couldn’t help but feel even greater interest.
A miracle, that unknown power was written so kindly.
[ However, there are limitations to them as well. ]
Arwen read with interest.
[ Its power cannot be applied to messengers chosen by God, or to God’s apostles who carry sacred and sublime wills. ]
“…… That’s amazing.”
Arwen muttered that while she was reading a book in a state close to a trance.
In a way, it was a natural reaction.
Cecilia is a saint who performs miracles of protection.
A man named Cardinal Lirol in the eastern part of the Empire was said to perform miracles of speed.
And.
[ The now forgotten power, the miracle of truth, has the power to turn what one wants into reality. ]
Arwen opened his mouth a little.
The power to turn truth into reality. Isn’t this too much to do?
Thump thump!
“…… ?”
As Arwen was organizing his thoughts, he heard a harsh noise.
I didn’t know who had come.
Berry and Cecilia left the mansion before noon, and Maria said she had some work to do as the princess.
Brother and sister Beatrice and Gunther were plotting an unknown plot, so it didn’t seem like they would suddenly come and cause such a commotion.
“Is it a merchant?”
She gently opened the door to the living room, and Arwen made a slight frown on her face.
It was such a small difference that no one would notice a change, but if it had been Veris, she would have noticed the change.
Anyway. Arwen gently opened the door to her mansion. She was thinking of protesting if it was her peddler who she didn’t know.
“You? No, there is no time for this! Berry’s. Is he at home now?”
Guardian of Gaul, Archduke Wallenstein.
She was knocking on the door of her mansion with a startled face that was unsuitable for that woman.
Naturally, Arwen couldn’t help but tilt her head.
The Archduke Evangeline she thought of was confident in everything, and she was a person with a personality that even oozes arrogance.
But what was going on, she didn’t feel the slightest bit of composure in her now.
“Veris is not at the mansion right now. Rather, it requires an explanation.”
At Arwen’s logical voice, the Grand Duke shook his head.
Perhaps the grand duke is in a hurry than he thought, and is about to leave.
Come back!
Did he feel uneasy at the sight of the Archduke looking for Veris in a completely different state than usual?
Arwen hurriedly grabbed the archduke’s collar.
It was an action based on the feeling of anxiety.
“I will accompany you.”
“What? I am not going to play now.”
“I already expected it. If you see the Grand Duke now, you will naturally feel that way.”
“Is that so? Did I look in a hurry?”
Perhaps it was only then that he came to his senses at Arwen’s gentle voice, the Grand Duke looked blankly at Arwen and nodded slowly.
Well, even for Archduke Evangeline, the weight of the information she heard was so heavy that she had no choice but to react like this.
The Church of Light and the Church of Demons.
It was thanks to the ominous feeling that the two huge powers were plotting something in the dark.
“Hurry up and get ready.”
“…… Yes.”
Arwen went into the mansion at the sound of the grand duke’s voice becoming a little calmer.
Beside her, the spirits, whose numbers had already increased, were following her like a tidal wave.
* * *
“Going crazy!”
Thanks to the sudden arrival at the sanctuary, the old man was quite surprised.
The Hound of the Holy Land, or Hunter.
For once, the work of the so-called great apostle is so fast.
I was also surprised that the place was an alley in a commercial district not far from the party hall.
“Is everyone gathered?”
“Yes.”
It’s a force that hastily gathered.
Unfortunately or fortunately, it is a commercial district where outsiders are relatively free to come in and out, and due to the summoning order being issued to the 12 knights of the Order at the right time, it was also a more powerful force than ever.
“I must hurry.”
For that crazy apostle, it was definitely more than enough time to work.
The best situation would be to destroy the bastard Verris and the apostles who have enemies in the castle kingdom, but….
“We just have to do our job.”
“Yes!”
The old man laughed cruelly in the dark.
An apostle who uses the miraculous power of a high-ranking priest is right here.
Even if he stood out in the midterm evaluation, it was an obvious fact that an ordinary academy student would not be able to resist that power.
