Raising Paladins

Episode 72. Battle for City Hall (4)

The central square of Meirium Market, dyed white.

The light was still firmly enveloping the entire plaza.

If there is a difference, the glare from the first flash has subsided a lot.

Thanks to that, the eyes of the people who recovered their eyesight fell on Tira.

“Um, is that divine power… … .”

“It is so beautiful… … .”

Tira closed her eyes tightly with her hands outstretched toward the midday sun.

On her small, soft palm, pure white energy overflowed.

Its energy was very similar to the flower of Tira that bloomed on the sapling in the courtyard of the temple.

“It’s like a single flower.”

said the little boy who was holding his mother’s hand.

As the child said, Tira seemed to have become a large flower.

A small white flower with shyly bursting white petals.

The wind blew past the white flowers, and the fragrance that bloomed from the flowers spread gently around.

A miracle happened then.

“uh? uh uh… … ?!”

Someone pointed to one of the places where people were gathering.

There, Grom, who was blown away after being hit directly by Eileen’s magic bullet, was lying there.

But Grom, who had fainted, opened his eyes wide and jumped up from his seat.

Also, the wounds on his body mysteriously healed gradually.

“There too! That seed is healing too!”

In addition to Grom, the wounds of many servants who were injured in the fight in the square were healed.

Arms and legs torn from being hit by steel weapons, joints broken from bumps, heads exploding and bleeding profusely, covering the wounds, the seed felt the blood stop and rolled his eyes in bewilderment.

Carl, who had been watching the scene, muttered in a small tone of absurdity.

“Wide-area healing… … .”

What an absurd thing!

I ordered Hanson to heal only one person, but Tira surprisingly activated the wide-area healing technique.

Wide-area healing that can only be attempted after at least 5 years of training in divine power healing!

But Tira didn’t even teach her, but she did it herself.

‘As expected, the sprouts were good.’

The figure of Tira who was treating old Muir who had collapsed in the temple.

At that time, Carl looked at Tira and was convinced.

If a child who tries to cure an old man by sucking out the rotten pus from his back with his own mouth does not become a priest, who in this world can become a priest?

The seed of great divine power was hidden in the heart of a girl with a small body and a lively personality, who was always in a hurry and fell and bruised her knee.

‘Maybe I’ll become even greater than that guy.’

Four paladins who followed the sword in their previous lives.

One of them who was given the title of a paladin beyond a battle priest was a priest who specialized in healing.

When he raised his hand, a brilliant golden light exploded from his fingertips, and Carl remembered the miracle of thousands of fallen soldiers standing up around him.

Besides, extensive healing is like a disease to fallen beings such as demons, warlocks, and hell summons.

If Tira is raised well, she may not only heal the sick, but also exert more power than a legion in large-scale battles.

Carl smiled and looked at Tira.

But then.

“Mister Carl? Is this correct?”

Research priest Eric was bewildered by such an amazing sight.

His eyes, enraptured by the miracle of Tira’s divine power, were filled with wonder.

Eric extended his finger and pointed far away.

“… … It seems that the amount of Tira is small and the child is treated without distinction.”

“… … !”

Carl stared in the direction his finger was pointing, startled.

There were security guards caressing the healed wounds with bewildered faces.

Surprisingly, Tyra was healing all of her allies as well as enemies with her overflowing divine power.

“this! Tira, stop!”

Carl hurried over and shook Tira.

However, Tira, who has already exceeded her first limit and entered a state of awakening, only exudes divine power in a trance.

There was no response to Carl’s words.

Just like a flower that bloomed in the world just for treatment.

“oh my… … .”

What an absurd situation!

Carl clicked his tongue.

‘The bowl of divine power has grown with awakening, but the control is still immature. I need to heal only my allies, but to heal all of them… … .’

Carl reluctantly raised his hand.

widely!

fluff.

I lightly hit Tira on the nape of her neck with the blade of my hand, and Tira fell forward like a paper doll.

Carl, who quickly embraced her, called Eric and handed Tira over.

“Take them far away from battle. He is completely asleep and will not wake up until tomorrow.”

“that! All right!”

High-ranking priest Clemens, who cherished Tira as much as Eric as his granddaughter, also quickly approached.

Then, the two of them helped Tira to the other side of the plaza.

“what? How did this happen?”

“Is this the divine power healing that we have only heard about? You mean he really existed?!”

“oh my god… … .”

An awkward wind blew between the two forces that were fighting to death.

It was thanks to Tira’s treatment of all enemies, which softened the members of the security forces’ enthusiasm for battle.

But there were also people who didn’t.

“Calm down, everyone! We are here to arrest the traitor!”

Booong, bang!

After drinking a drop of the black potion again, Aileen threw a magic bullet at Hanson and shouted.

For some reason, her complexion was very pale.

‘To think such a great priest was hiding in a rural village like this… … .’

I am short of breath and my whole body throbs.

Aileen’s body, which had been stained with dark power, was forcibly exposed to Tyra’s tremendous divine power, and the side effects began to occur.

The divine power and the dark power are two forces at the opposite points of the world.

When the strength of one side increased dramatically, the other side naturally weakened.

Carl, who was watching Irene, shouted at Hanson.

“Hanson! finish it!”

“yes!”

Hanson also felt that Irene’s condition was not serious and was looking for the right time.

At Carl’s command, Hanson immediately kicked the ground.

However, the momentum was quite different from before.

“… … what!”

thump thump thump!

Hanson thrusts his shield out and lunges forward like an angry elephant.

Thanks to Tira, his wounds had completely healed, and he had nothing to fear in the world because he was fully charged with the divine power that had escaped.

“Stop it!”

“Protect the Chief Chamberlain!”

Some security guards with shields blocked the road leading to Eileen.

Of course, it was a no-brainer.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

“Aww!”

Security guards in steel armor and shields roam the air like straw.

It was bounced off by Hanson’s tremendous charge.

Aileen, who was watching, also threw a magic bullet with a puzzled expression.

“Do not come! Don’t come!”

bang! bang! bang!

A magic bullet that has become stronger than before by drinking a new dark power potion.

However, it was too much to stop Hanson’s charge, which had already been strengthened with divine power.

puck!

“evil!”

Eileen, struck by Hanson’s shield, flew several meters and landed on the ground.

If Hanson hadn’t controlled his strength at the end, he would have died instantly with his back bent.

Aileen passed out as she hit her head on the floor.

As everyone watched the spectacle in amazement, one of the servants exclaimed loudly.

“The witch has fallen! Brother Hanson caught the witch!”

“We won! Waaa!”

When two factions with similar strength collide, the difference in skills between the leaders often determines the outcome of the entire battle.

That was the case now.

Without the chamberlain Aileen, there would be no security guards who could stop Hanson.

The resigned security guards hung their heads.

“How about you stop surrendering?”

Carl, who was watching from behind, came into the square where the battle took place and said.

A sense of helplessness was evident on the face of the police chief who saw him.

‘A monster-like shield fuse, a female priest with ridiculous healing power, the real one hasn’t even drawn a sword yet… … .’

The incredible power of divine power demonstrated by Tira and Hanson!

But the Marshal knew.

Who is the strongest person in this square?

I heard that even that great Hanson was defeated by the man named Carl in front of him and became a servant of the temple.

Besides, he just contemplated the battle with a calm face, as if he didn’t even need to participate in this fight.

If the security forces continue to resist here, that sword priest will finally draw out his longsword.

It was also predicted that if that happened, the police chief himself would surely suffer a great disaster, even if the other members did not know.

“… … Everyone drop your weapons.”

“Leader!”

The security guards stared at the chief in amazement.

However, the voice of the chief of police was firm.

“Already lost. Give up.”

“still… … .”

In the meantime, the Mayrium Security Forces blindly followed the orders of the mayor, Baron Astell, and exploited citizens along with Hanson’s gang and Merchant Guild Devaldo.

They were more suited to the name of the mayor’s ‘guards’ rather than the word ‘police squad’.

That’s why everyone knew what it meant to give up the battle now.

But the opponent was too strong.

‘It was a temple that didn’t even exist until a few months ago… … .’

The appearance of one person in the Temple of Dawn made such a difference.

The security guards dropped their weapons one by one with expressions of disbelief.

Then Carl nodded slightly.

“Good idea. If we continue this fight, only you will be at a disadvantage.”

The Marshal has no answer.

Carl looked around and said.

“Remove all weapons and armor.”

“Yes, priest!”

The servants quickly ran and collected dozens of steel weapons, their helmets, and armor that the police had dropped.

They looked humiliated when their weapons and armor were taken away, but they couldn’t resist.

It was because their eyes were more fierce than those of the terrifying priests like Carl, Hanson, and Meisa.

They were the citizens of Meirium.

“It’s been a bit harsh.”

“that’s right… … The security forces are supposed to protect citizens… … .”

“But since you surrendered, let’s be punished within the bounds of the law.”

When the situation around the river was settled, Carl gave another order.

“Meisa, Hanson.”

“yes.”

“Take the servants and escort the security forces. Divide them appropriately and put them in the empty hospital rooms in the temple. Keep an eye on it so you don’t think about it.”

“all right.”

Sureureung!

Meisa holding the rapier.

As she was about to take the prisoner to the temple, she suddenly looked back and asked.

“What about the knife?”

“I have to finish the job.”

“Are you going alone?”

Carl replied as he looked at City Hall, which was enveloped in stillness.

“Evil that has not been rooted out will surely grow again. If Marlon and Eileen had that much dark power, the boss would be very dangerous. It is safe for me to go alone.”

“still… … .”

The culprit behind all this is the mayor, Baron Astell.

When Carl said he would go to fight him alone, Maysa gave a worried look.

But Carl’s decision was already standing.

‘Maybe the sun god sent me to Mayrium because of the mayor.’

I can’t reveal everything about myself yet.

If the sun god really woke Carl up in Meirium for something related to Baron Astell or the Golden Apple Tree, then you should investigate that by yourself.

After that, it won’t be too late to talk to the priests.

okay.

The sword gripped the handle of the longsword and moved toward the city hall.

A gust of wind blew his priestly robe softly.
