Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

The Lost Purpose

“Warrior.”

Araidel is not an idiot who only knows Goddess.

She is not a wooden doll with no ego and no will.

Although their time together wasn’t long, it was enough to notice that the Brave Party treats her with respect and not closeness.

“If there is something I am not good at, I apologize to the hero right here.”

“You are immature! She is doing her job well enough.”

“Mr. Parnell and Sir Lucia, do you think so?”

As Araidel spoke with a bitter smile, Urinelle nodded.

“I will. Because she did her best to dedicate herself to us.”

“I just did my best.”

The saint who sat down next to Yurinelle murmured as she looked at the stars in the sky.

“I don’t even know that much.”

“Saint, why are you saying that…”

“Soldier. Even though it is a temple, it is, after all, a place where people live.”

If the saint, Araidel, took the seat to the left of the hero, then Archbishop Reenheim sat down in the seat to the right.

At the hero with a shaky expression on her face, she smiled brightly.

“It’s never been a clean place. Dirty fights come and go, and political calculations come and go. If you want to become a bishop in such a place, you cannot always look at the goddess in white.”

Nevertheless, the goddess recognized them and gave them divine power,

Because being rotten and having no faith are two different things.

What if you like money? You don’t have to just stick to faith. What if there is a lot of lust for power? That’s enough to serve yourself.

It is difficult to find a clean person for a high-ranking person in the temple, but it is also difficult to find a person with a low religious faith. ‘Goddess, if you don’t, I’ll kill you!’ A person who speaks cannot even get the position of a lower priest, let alone a high-ranking person. Before that, he will be captured by the paladins for blasphemy.

“That’s why I followed you as the saint’s throne. The saint has maintained her undyed white color, and she will continue to do so in the future. I’m not proud of it, but to rise to the position of an archbishop in a place like a church is to be ignorant of politics.”

Only saints are an exception. The saint is chosen by the goddess herself.

It is as meticulously examining and declaring as adopting an adopted daughter, but how can humans refute God’s examination so far? There is no one who is not religious among the high ranks of the Church.

This time, the pope of the Nemi religion is a filthy person who looks around the house, gold statues adorn the garden, and rumors that he has an illegitimate child, but he is also a devout believer.

He does not hesitate to fast and pray for several days in his old body. If you are not sincere about God, you will not even be able to ascend to the papacy in the first place. There is no way that such a pope would disrespect a saint.

In the midst of this power struggle, saints are the only exceptions,

Any carrier has no choice but to steer clear. Attacking her is treason against the goddess.

It is half the will of the saint herself and half the will of God to send such a precious saint to the warrior party. The reason the Pope sent one of his most trusted henchmen, Reenheim, with him is because she is such an outstanding person.

“The Lady is the representative of the goddess. However, since you are still immature, the Goddess wishes you to follow you around, gain experience and build a feat worthy of a daughter of God.”

“Is that so…”

“It is just my personal opinion, but I think our saint is superior to the saints of Elysia and Helai. Even though she is still immature, a saint is a saint. A priest with abilities superior to him cannot exist on this continent.”

I thought so.

I knew that.

That’s why he kicked Kyle out so easily.

“Nevertheless, you do not like the saint, is there any reason why you do not like the saint? Did we do anything disrespectful to the hero?”

Urinelle had a headache. But it was also the case with false accusations here.

It is not easy to deceive someone with a good sense of touch like Lehenheim. Even if you cheat once, you will continue to feel uncomfortable as long as there are eyes on the other side as well.

“You are misunderstood. In fact, before she came, a priest was on our side.”

“Priest? What is your rank? bishop? New Commander?”

“We thought he was a regular priest, but he probably wasn’t. I should have known from the time when he said he was the only person on the continent who believed in that god.”

If you loved him, no. It wasn’t. My personality didn’t match at first.

Urinelle is a person who prioritizes careers over men. Her purpose is to hold power and to have wealth. Her wish is to set up a bigger ball and climb to a place that no one else can see.

Of course, Kyle didn’t have any bad feelings either. It was just that the saint looked better.

I thought that the saint who would become the leader of the church was a much better partner than Kyle in terms of ability and location. A partner worthy of holding hands, who deserves to walk her career path together.

Kyle had saved her many times, so he gave her a generous retirement allowance, including the cost of her life. I thought that was the end of the story.

By the time she found out that her calculations were wrong, she had already left him. There is no way to even know what the guy who left with blessings on himself until the last moment is doing.

“A god that only one believes in? Could it be? Even a small god who only protects a village or a tribe, or at least several dozen people, would have to have faith in order to maintain its existence. A god who believes in only one person cannot be called a god. Or is it that they don’t need faith in the first place…”

Reenheim’s expression darkened.

“no way…”

“The priest built the fountain that the bishop said contained the power of the Old Gods.”

“Hey, where is he now? Can I see you? The things related to the Old Gods are important not only to me, but also to the goddess!”

It was to the extent that his expression, which had always been relaxed, suddenly changed. That is the presence of the Old Gods.

Even if they are the three gods, they are nothing in front of the old gods. If it’s really a priest of the Old Gods, it’s best to somehow attract them to build friendships and not become enemies.

In fact, given the power of the Three Gods, it may not be difficult to kill the saints of the Old Gods. But it’s crazy enough to be insane.

Unlike the Personality God, which suffers great damage when a saint or a saint dies, the power of the Old God is not broken when a believer dies. How big is this universe and how small are humans. No matter how great the power given to a person, compared to the power of the Old Gods, it is as good as a cup of water floating in the sea.

If the angry Old God casts a curse on this world in return for the wear and tear of his personality, the consequences are endless. The Old Gods don’t even make them their followers unless they really care about them.

It can be really wrathful when a loved one is broken down by other little things. The Trinity Church, which holds ancient records, was well aware of the wrath of the Old Gods.

Before humans and demons arose. Before the three gods came to the fore in history, why did the vampires that ruled the continent collapse so badly?

She knew why. The Old Gods defeated their supremacy with a single curse.

Now, vampires are a weak race waiting only for the day they will die, crouching in one territory.

“We… chased after them.”

Reenheim gave a blank expression. For a moment, she thought she had heard it wrong.

After a quick scan of Urinelle’s face, he made an expression as if he was looking at the asshole.

The expression lasted for a very short time and then disappeared, but Urinell looked at it carefully.

“Did you drive out… the priest of the ancient gods?”

“Yes, it is. We didn’t know his worth back then.”

“Then of course… no, then…”

I was disappointed and also happy. It wasn’t that the Brave Party was uncomfortable with the saint itself, it was just because they confirmed that she was embarrassed because of her lack of skills.

It’s not shameful either. It’s not that the saint’s efforts are lacking.

If the opponent is a priest of the Old Gods, there is nothing to be said for being compared like this. It’s like being under the protection of the universe itself, how can even a daughter of a goddess be a match for her?

“I guess I did, but my abilities were really lacking.”

Even Reenheim couldn’t help it. The saint muttered bitterly.

“Oh my gosh. You must have had a lot of expectations, but I was not able to live up to it.”

“What are you talking about? We just have to work a little harder together.”

However, we talked and the misunderstanding was cleared up. Reenheim was relieved, and the saint felt refreshed.

There is nothing more grievous than rejection without knowing why. Still, we solved this part by talking to each other, so it can be better in the future.

for their own purposes.

for the values that each one pursues.

unite, unite,

you won’t be able to move on

‘revenge.’

The three common enemies, the ancient demon king Grimudo.

Can you point the knife at him again?

In the name of revenge, can you attack?

Can we go back to the North Pole, believing in the saint’s power and ability?

At all, I couldn’t afford it. The warrior party has lost its purpose.

The hero who lost the purpose of hunting the greatest demon king was no longer a hero. just an adventurer

‘It’s a dream that can no longer come true.’

The second greatest demon king, Harmael, had already almost unified the power of the demons.

It was almost impossible to break through that force and assassinate the demon with just five people. In the end, all they can do is cut off Harmael’s limbs scattered all over the place.

‘Then what should we do?’

The initial purpose of defeating Grimudo was changed to success at some point,

Maybe it’s because they all admitted, deep down. That their purpose was hopeless from the beginning.

When Kyle was there, he even went to Grimudo, but now he doesn’t even dare to do that. If we meet Grimudo once more, the next sure thing will be death.

Whatever position Saint Araidel holds in the Church, it does not matter in front of Grimudo.

In order to survive in front of him, skill, only that one thing is important. Kyle made everyone in the party escape alive even in front of Grimudo, but no one in the party believed that the saint could do the job.

‘If there was that guy, I would have been able to try a surprise attack against Harmael.’

When it comes to support and defense, there was a priest who was so great that even a saint could not keep up.

If he rushed in with his full support, slaughtering Harmael and escaping from the large number of demons was a worthwhile operation. He was the one who saved everyone even in front of Grimudo.

Is it possible that a large army of demons is greater than Grimudo and a group of monsters?

Of course, to practice that tactic with Araidel means to die together.

The remarkable ability gap is something that cannot be filled no matter how hard you try.

Although Urinell was a hero, she had no intention of giving up her life for the sake of her mission. When you die, your wealth and your movies are useless. Urinelle was not that noble.

If you can’t strike a grimdo for revenge as an individual, or attack Harmael for your mission as a warrior,

It was necessary to seriously consider what the meaning of the hero party was.

‘May require a strategic retreat.’

No, no. no retreat

It simply counterattacks briefly to counter the enemy’s future plans.

However, whether they will be able to return to the Empire safely, whether it is a retreat or a counterattack, is a different story.

Wars start when you want to, but end only when you pray. Even if Urinelle wants to end her little war, it has already left her hand.

All decisions are far from here.

It will come down from the North Pole.
