Surviving as a Saint in Another World - Chapter 139
Seal (3)
By the time Ronan was in the midst of making a name in their own world for a long time, a situation that contrasted with such an atmosphere was unfolding outside.
aaa!!
“Line shooter! We must protect Saint Ronan! Hold on!”
“Don’t back down! You owe Saint Ronan your life, so it’s time to pay it back with your life!”
Tied up in chains, dragged by Ronan and thrown to the ground, the monster, which now has no human form left and is much closer to the shape of a dragon unknown to the people of this world, began its final struggle.
As the power was restricted by the chains connected to Ronan, all the golems that blocked the knights disappeared, and the dragons were unable to fly again, so they had much better conditions than before, but they were not able to easily gain the upper hand.
Of course, the fact that the knights here were already exhausted after a fierce battle, and that the dwarves were not in a normal state because they were casting holy magic at the risk of their lives a while ago, but there was a bigger problem than that.
“What the hell is going on?!”
“I don’t know for sure! But what is certain is that if the contact is forcibly broken while the chain is connected, both will not be safe!”
“Kidduk. Saint Ronan…! I said this time as if it wasn’t dangerous…!”
Azalea turned her head slightly to stare at Ronan, who had lost consciousness with his hands resting on the tree, clutching the chains.
Inappropriate for the tense situation, it seemed that he had fallen asleep, and there was no sign of waking up from his peaceful appearance.

Ludmilla, who took over the chain from the dwarves and soared up in the sky, Ronan… Now everyone shouted victory cheers even until he restrained the existence that should be called a monster and threw it to the ground.
Seeing the chain connected to the tree, the dwarven saint said, ‘Are you going to use that tree as a medium? Is that really possible?’ Azalea was also relieved until she said the same thing.
I don’t know how the sealing technique works, but it seemed certain that Ronan would not be harmed if he used trees as a medium.
There was no point in discussing how impossible the task was, because I had the belief that if Ronan was the one doing it, he would definitely succeed.
However, everything became strange when the dragon, who was pinned to the floor, came to his senses and began to stand up.
Ronan lost consciousness the moment he touched the tree, but the monster did not.
One fact that even Ronan overlooked. The dragon was a combination of the ego that dwelled in the heart and Ludmilla, the sorceress who swallowed the heart. The ego of the dragon was talking with Ronan in a virtual space, but the ego of Ludmilla, the owner of the body. remained here.
The monster came to its senses and immediately began to attack Ronan.
[Do not be ridiculous! It’s the power I got, it’s mine!]
In the end, for Ronan who lost his mind, the knights and dwarves surrounded Ronan and began to desperately defend against the monster’s attack.
Because of the effectiveness of the chain, it could be said that it was fortunate out of misfortune to only use physical attacks instead of using threatening magic like before, but the weight class was so huge that dozens of troops needed to stick together to block it.
Normally, it was the most reasonable way to avoid the physical attacks of such a huge monster, but since there was an immovable goal to protect, it was difficult to do that simple basic, so the fight naturally fell into a disadvantage.
aaa!
[I am the one who completed you! Not him!]
It was also a bad factor for the monster to focus only on Ronan without paying attention to the people around him who were attacking him in a frenzied state.
The attack of the monster towards a specific target that did not hesitate was unintentional, but the knights who had to protect that target naturally forced a larger sacrifice.
Quaang!
“Quaaagh!”
There was a crack in the wire that was barely holding on.
Finally, a part of the square that could not withstand the attack was thrown into the sky with a single flick of the monster’s tail and collapsed.
It was a square that was barely maintained while sharing the burden of the enormous destructive power coming from the body that differed by more than dozens of times.
As long as some of them collapsed, it was only a matter of time before all of them collapsed.
[Bug-like bastards! Don’t bother me, go away!]
The monster finally broke through the square and approached Ronan and the tree.
[I will destroy everything! All those who covet mine!]
“Sir Ludmilla. Why are you doing this? You can still speak, and you have no reason left. Did you forget the oath you swore to be loyal to the Empire until the end of your life?”
Azalea, who was guarding the closest place to Ronan, opened her mouth, confirming that the monster’s body, which could not even be found as a human, was not in a healthy state.
That voice contained regret for the situation that had come this far, and it had enough magic to make even a monster who had lost its reason hesitate once.
[Don’t try to fool me with such clumsy acting, Princess!]
“…I tried to imitate Ronan Saint to pass the time, but I guess it was too much for me.”
“It looks great to me. Even I was fooled. Maybe it’s because the beast’s senses are extremely sharp.”
“You just seemed like Ronan.”
Unfortunately, it didn’t work on monsters.
[Loyalty is to give to a superior being. Sooner or later the world will be dedicated to me. Who do I give my allegiance to?]
“Are you denying the oath head-on like this and not being constrained…”
[ha ha ha! Did you try to bind me with such an oath? it’s all pointless Because Ludmilla, the weak human who made that oath, is already dead! Can’t you see this figure with the power of a god in your hands?]
“In my eyes, I can only see the beast that is chained and struggling to escape its restraints.”
[Four years…! How dare you scorn God!]
“Now I see, I can’t hear the presence in your voice. That’s why you can’t handle magic, can’t you?”
[noisy!]
“It is true that you have lost everything you have accumulated so far due to the restrictions of the oath. All the magic you have shown so far is not your ability, but the ability of that being. Now I understand. Saint Ronan and the being you conceive are currently competing. .. You’re half a penny who didn’t even participate in the power struggle between the two.”
aaa!
[I am God! I am the owner of all those powers!]
As if it had been stabbed at the pinnacle, Azalea’s provocation sent the monster into a frenzy.
The monster, which had been ignoring everyone and relentlessly targeting only Ronan and the tree, turned its gaze to Azalea with both of them in front of its eyes.
And Azalea didn’t miss the gap and jumped forward, directing the monster’s attack completely to herself, not Ronan.
Quaang!
“Kuh…!”
Azalea’s goal was successful.
The monster’s attack focused entirely on Azalea instead of Ronan and the tree.
And as a reward for taking the blow that dozens of knights barely parried, Azalea flew through the sky, bleeding like countless knights had already done.
All of the bones in his body were shattered in a single blow, and his body lost its function. It was a miracle that he survived without dying, let alone standing up.
Azalea’s hazy gaze as she rolled on the floor caught the sight of the monster.
As it is, if only one more attack was directed at himself. If only one more nerve was spent on himself in order to surely kill himself. If only it could take a little longer.
[wait. Four years won’t kill easily. I must see her begging for mercy from me in eternal pain!]
Unfortunately, Azalea’s wish did not come true.
The monster, who was extremely angry with Azalea, paradoxically became extremely angry, so he decided to deal with Ronan and the tree even more quickly.
“Heh heh, it is possible for Saint Ronan to protect everyone, but it is impossible for all of us to protect just one Saint Ronan. What a shame. It’s not good.”
“That’s the way it is. If that beast’s will is fulfilled, it seems that even Lord Calliul will not accept our souls.”
The next turn for the fallen Azalea was the Dwarf Saint and the Knight Commander.
Right after implementing the holy magic technique that put my life as collateral, my body and mind were not completely intact, but the two dwarves nevertheless burned the last remaining divine power to inflate my muscles.
As much as they keenly understood how the princess had provoked the monster and blocked the attack with her body, the two of them had an obligation to tie the monster’s feet, even at the risk of their own lives.
The two dwarves struggled in their own ways.
The two of them, beyond their limit, received the dragon’s blow several times, each of which was difficult to receive even a single blow.
But that was all. There were many things in the world that could not be achieved with spirit alone.
[Keueueueu bugs all the way!]
The blow that had to be blocked with all one’s strength was an ordinary physical attack that the monster could do all day long.
In the end, the two dwarves lay down on the ground amidst numerous attacks.
And finally, the monster stood in front of Ronan and the tree that Ronan was facing. Without any obstacles…
“Ronan-nim can’t touch even the tip of a hair!”
There were no obstacles. The monster just didn’t recognize them as obstacles.
[hmm? Is it his pet?]
The last person to block the monster’s way was Celia.
An ordinary girl who did not go through any physical training or deep mental training.
Celia stood in front of Ronan even in a situation where a normal person would have lost consciousness and fainted, let alone stand in front of him, due to the momentum the dragon gave off and her peers.
[I won’t crush you whole.]
Unlike the princess and the dwarves, the monster raised its front paws with a relaxed spirit.
The monster, Ludmilla’s ego contained in it, did not actually see Celia as an equal, let alone an enemy.
The words spoken by her pet, Ludmilla, were sincere sentiments without any lies.
In Ludmilla’s eyes, she was useful to the princess, her own to the dwarves, and to everyone else, but not Celia. What could be the reason why Ronan, who had transcendental abilities, had a useless human?
Wouldn’t that be an act of mercy?
And Celia also fully understood what the monster in front of her meant by saying such things. Celia herself had been worried more than anyone else. Since it was just a relationship made by Ronan’s whim, I was constantly thinking about whether it was a relationship that would easily disappear.
“I’m not as smart as Ronan, so I couldn’t give you a clear answer.”
To be honest, I still don’t know why Ronan keeps him by his side, and what he can do. While Ronan was gone, he inherited some of what Ronan was doing, but that’s something anyone can do, even if it’s not him.
So Celia’s anxiety still hasn’t been resolved…
“One thing is for sure, I will never stand by and watch Ronan-sama die!”
He was as smart as Princess Azalea, so he didn’t direct the opponent’s attack elsewhere, and he was as strong as the Dwarf Knights, so he didn’t have the confidence to block it.
All he can do is become the last meat shield before Ronan is attacked.
If it were Ronan, he would advise me not to do such a useless thing, and if both would die even if I blocked it anyway, shouldn’t the person who can live instead of doing such a meaningless thing should live and see?
Ronan-sama is more calculating than I thought.
But even so, even for a single moment, even for a moment less than 0.01 second.
[Then die together!]
At that moment, an image more intense than anything she had ever experienced in her entire life settled in Celia’s mind.
The final barrier always placed in front of him for Ronan.
A pure white barrier rose in front of Celia. An ordinary archbishop, a cardinal… It was a barrier of extraordinary hardness that exceeded the limits of many priests.
There are probably not many beings who can break this barrier even if you search the world.
However, the opponent was bad.
Although not everyone knew about it, the opponent was an existence that could be called a god who had truly descended to earth, and it was an existence that could be counted as the first finger when choosing an existence that could break Celia’s barrier.
For a moment. For a moment, the monster’s hand was blocked by the barrier and stopped.
And that was it.
[Is even someone like you ignoring me…!]
Kwadeuk.
The monster, who felt anger at having his hand blocked by a creature he regarded as a pet at best, gave strength to his hand, and the barrier quickly shattered.
And the moment he tries to crush the bodies of Celia and Ronan in succession.
“Who is telling whom to dump? Are you crazy?”
All those things that Ronan would call ‘useless actions’ shined. The time that countless knights and dwarves sacrificed their lives to earn. The time Azalia risked her life to induce an attack. The time she had earned by burning herself. The momentary time Celia had blocked with all her might.
[you…]
All that futility has finally paid off.
“Is this why the dragon is insane? You were rampaging outside?”
[no…! no! I didn’t agree! Whoever wants…!]
“We’ve already finished talking about this side? Where are you talking about tenants? If you’re not satisfied, leave the room. Oh, can’t we?”
[Do not be ridiculous! I’m the owner! I…I’m not…the owner? What nonsense…! Come on, obey me! It means giving up your strength!]
At some point, the movement of the monster stopped. The chain that had lost its light and was hanging down was also shining fiercely. Above all, the roots protruding from the tree that suddenly started to grow entwined all those who fell on the battlefield and carefully collected them in one place, while the monster began to entwine the colossal body of
[Why can’t I! Why is it not allowed to me! I was able to reach the realm of a god even with magic! I have achieved my lifelong wish, but why is it not mine! It is unfair! It’s unfair, it’s unfair. If it weren’t for you, Ronan, you would stop God from being a puppet of God… I hate you!]
A cry of resentment poured out from the monster. It was clear that the amount of hatred and resentment contained in that voice could not be accumulated in a day or two.
As the monster said, it must have been a lifetime wish. And that wish, which he obtained while giving up everything, was thwarted by Ronan.
Ronan was just hated.
And Ronan, who received that emotion…
“What are you talking about?”
Responded surprisingly casually.
[what…?]
The monster couldn’t help but stare blankly at Ronan even as it was wrapped around the tree and gradually sucked into the ground in such an unexpected attitude.
At least if you feel guilty for stopping yourself, you intend to leave a scar that will last a lifetime with harsh words. Speaking of the dead, Ronan, in the end, you were not enough to protect them. I was going to induce you to die of exhaustion one day. If you scolded yourself for talking about the greatness of God or blasphemy, you would laugh at me, saying you really didn’t know anything.
However, Ronan surprisingly showed no emotion.
like…
“It’s okay to be resented by a dead body. There must already be a truck of souls who resent me for not being able to save me with such abilities.”

Like looking at a dead body.
[you…!]
The monster, Ludmilla understood exactly why Ronan behaved like that.
Ronan no longer considered Ludmilla alive. All her resentments were empty cries.
The resentment of those lions that Ronan may have already heard countless times. It is part of countless screams that are neither special nor distinguishable.
[Do not be ridiculous! you must remember me! I’m Ludmilla! The first person in the world to break the limits of magic, reach the realm of transcendence, and use all magic, the creator of circle magic, the master of the flame mage tower…Ludmilla! Even if the world forgets me, you must remember me! Because I was your great enemy! you will die and disappear I will be resurrected someday! Because this is not the end!]
From nob le mt l. com
Ludmilla screamed as if she couldn’t accept it and began to get sucked into the ground, and Ronan looked at him and replied.
“Maybe one day your name will be forgotten. And, you will forget you too.”
With Ronan’s calm voice and his sunken eyes, which were too confident to be groundless sentences, Ludmilla felt that it was not just nonsense, but a foreshadowing of the future.
“People will remember this tragedy. But your name will not last long in it. Only the stories of the heroes who stopped the monster will remain and be handed down to posterity. And by the time you wake up, someday in the future, you’ll have a new name. You know what it is, even if you don’t tell me, right?”
…
[“Vermilion.”]
The voices of the dragon and the saint overlapped.
[Ronaaan!!]
In that resonance, the screams of a mad wizard who understood the whole situation were buried and disappeared.
Just like that, all the dragon’s giants were submerged into the ground and disappeared.
“Ronan-sama…?”
“Celia…You look like you’ve been through a lot. Have you changed your mind about following me now?”
“Is it…is it over?”
“Okay, that’s all over.”
“Is Ronan-sama okay?”
“I think I should worry about other people, including you, rather than me right now.”
“okay…”
Ronan barely held Celia’s body as it fell to the floor.
“Ronan-sama…”
“Why? Please don’t leave a will in a faint voice. You don’t know what will happen if you raise a flag.”
Celia laughed and said, leaving Ronan’s incomprehensible sound.
“There’s a story the princess told me as a joke…”
“Memories recall is also a flag, Celia.
“At that time, I just passed it over, but I started to think that it wouldn’t be bad to lock Ronan-sama away…seriously.”
“huh?”
Celia passed out at the last word.
After everything was over, when I started to feel that Ronan was by my side, it was thanks to the fatigue that hit me all over.
“No, wait. What the hell is that…”
The girl lost consciousness when she heard Ronan’s panicked voice.
for a moment.
“…This is the first time I have to clean up because the case is over, but I’m the only one who’s awake?”
What is this?
In the devastated academy grounds, the saint’s embarrassed voice resounded.
everything is over
