Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

106. Cynthia vs Golem

#106. Cynthia vs Golem

[ You have finally faced your ordeal. ]

The lofty goddess sitting on a golden throne was looking down into the mirror.

The mirror reflected Cynthia and the golem.

[ Now that we’ve achieved the desired result, all that’s left is to… wait and see the results. ]

The outcome that Heron desires is a clash of fate.

It is an opportunity to change the causality caused by the consumption of divine power.

Only then can we connect Han Seong-jin with the apocalypse that will come to Earth and send him somewhere else.

[ You have done your part well. ]

Although it was something that could not be heard, Heron sat on the throne and spoke calmly to Cynthia.

Cynthia did her part by receiving the stigmata of Heron.

Her role is to be the ‘object of fateful collision’.

Grace, who possesses the “Stigmata: Future Time”, also attempts to change the fate of the owner of the Stigmata, thereby causing a “clash of divine powers.”

Cynthia was the target of that conflict.

This is something that forces a change in causality.

Of course, karma accumulates.

Instead, Heron was given the opportunity to intertwine Earth’s causality with his own causality.

[Thanks to you, the law of causality has continued. With this… the preparation for the end is over. All that remains… is to pay the price for the enormous amount of chaos that has piled up.]

Karma is the price paid.

The price one pays for what one has done.

In this case, it was Heron who caused the clash of fates, but Cynthia and Grace, who inherited the stigmata, ended up paying for the damage instead.

And since one needs to survive, Heron manipulated fate and gave all the karma to ‘Cynthia’.

A huge karma for changing the law of causality.

The reason Herron gave the karma to Cynthia was because Grace was more useful than her.

[ Will he be able to endure the karma of death? ]

The karma of death.

It can be seen as a kind of causal law that is triggered when the chaotic karma that disrupts order has piled up enormously.

Because the causality of the Earth was distorted, a chaotic karma arose, and all of that karma was directed towards Cynthia.

The cause of the great chaos.

The fruit called death.

This is the law of dimensions that was established long ago.

But, one in a thousand.

No, just one in a million.

If Cynthia can overcome those odds and endure the karma she has been given and succeed in awakening.

She would be a very useful horse.

By becoming an apostle to fight against the end times.

Cynthia thought.

The difference in combat power is hopeless.

I can’t understand why such a monster would appear in a D-class gate.

‘It looks stronger than I imagined… but can I win?’

Even if he had become stronger and the monsters had become stronger as well, the golem in front of him had gone way beyond the line.

I trained like crazy and gained powers that surpassed the level of a cadet, but the golem in front of me was located higher than that.

-Ggggggggggggggg.

The golem moved.

He stretched his huge legs forward and bent his arms back.

and.

Boom!

He swung his sword at Cynthia.

“… One attack is brutal.”

Cynthia was able to dodge without much difficulty because her movements were slow due to her large body. However, she felt like her body would not recover if she was hit directly even once. ‘Should I attack from a distance?’

Cynthia had a bow.

Although it has only recently been used as a melee weapon, the original purpose of the bow was to shoot arrows from a distance.

She wasn’t holding an arrow right now, but she had a trait called the ‘Paradox of Light’.

If you create an arrow with light and shoot it, there will be no problem.

It’s also much more powerful to use a bow and arrow than to just shoot them.

‘Okay… let’s give it a try!’

Cynthia made her decision, ran back, cocked her bow, and shot an arrow using the paradox of light.

Five shots at a time. Seven shots at a time.

As soon as it was created, it was hung on a wall and shot down.

Pavabavat!

Several arrows were fired simultaneously and flew towards the golem.

The arrows were scattered and branched out, but they all hit the golem because it was so large.

Drumroll-

“… … .”

however.

“Does this make sense…?”

There was no damage.

There was no change at all, except that a few crumbs of stone had fallen from the surface.

“No, not yet… This time I’m going to do it right!”

It’s still too early to give up.

I didn’t use my super strength, and I didn’t use my maximum strength. I didn’t think that my opponent would fall down just because I shot some arrows.

‘This time, we’re going all out.’

The God of Weakness, Chapter 3.

-The Night March of a Hundred Ghosts.

Cynthia’s special season.

-End.

The most powerful attack currently available.

Hundreds of arrows and the transcendental ignorance contained within them.

A powerful attack capable of tearing even a high-level hero apart was directed at the golem.

Paaah-!

Ggg …

A blinding flash of light enveloped the entire surrounding area.

It was the aftermath of the attack.

Kwagagaga card ddeuk!

Pubbubububu!

A loud noise filled the heavens and the earth.

At the loud noise, Cynthia thought that the golem might not be safe either.

‘Okay, got it?’

Cynthia said the words she shouldn’t have said without thinking, but she quickly calmed down and moved forward cautiously.

And at that moment.

Phew!

The fist struck Cynthia’s body.

“Keuk…!”

Cynthia was hit by a punch and sent flying, rolling around for a long time before she could stop.

‘Ugh… Ah… .’

The golem’s fist was stronger than I thought.

To an absurd degree.

“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh…!”

Cynthia felt dizzy as she poured blood on the floor.

‘You, you have to drink the potion… .’

Cynthia searched through the small bag that had the expansion enchantment on it and found the potion. She then drank it immediately.

“Ugh… .”

Ggggggggggg-

After drinking the potion and looking forward, he saw a golem slowly walking towards him through the fog.

Even after being hit by that attack, they immediately counterattacked… I wondered what kind of defense they had.

and.

As the fog cleared, his figure was revealed.

“…uh?”

His appearance, revealed through the fog, was ‘quite normal.’

He didn’t have a single wound.

“I shot with all my might… but this is all the damage I got?”

The golem’s defenses were enough to make Cynthia despair.

***

Several hours had passed since I met Cheonmu Peak.

After subduing Joo Hyeon-oh and Yoon Hyuk-kwon, he cleaned up the remaining monsters in the academy and came back to me.

There was something unusual about his expression.

I guess there’s some bad news.

“The gate through which Article 21 entered has been closed.”

“…What did you say?”

I thought maybe I heard wrong.

What did this gentleman just say?

“Say it again. What did you say?”

“They said the gate was closed.”

“Are you saying that now!”

I was furious and shouted at Cheonmu Peak.

The gate is closed?

And the people haven’t even come out yet?

“There were clearly four people who went in, but only three came out! And the gate was closed!”

“… Don’t you know what it means when the gate closes immediately?”

As you know.

When the gate is cleared, the gate closes.

And as it closes, it spits out everyone inside.

The fact that it was closed immediately meant that there were no ‘entrants’ inside. To be precise, no ‘entrants’ who were alive.

“That’s why it doesn’t make sense. Sia… wouldn’t have died there.”

I know that’s irrational.

I know that I could have died because I was buried in a pile of data. I also know that I might not come back.

But the accident didn’t go well.

Cynthia died there?

“Just calm down for now. The work isn’t over yet.”

Cheonmu-bong’s facial expression was also not good.

I wasn’t the only one who was angry.

“… … .”

“Yoon Hyuk-kwon has been named as another instigator of this incident. If we investigate him, we will find out more information.”

“… Yes. He was still alive.”

Yoon Hyuk-kwon.

Clearly the guy had been holding hands with the guys watching.

Just a moment ago, I was caught in Cheonmu Bong’s arms… I should have struck him then.

‘Why did you have to take me here for questioning as a witness… damn it.’

The police took Yoon Hyuk-kwon in because of the problem that occurred at the academy. Normally, it would have been nearly impossible to investigate the head of a prestigious family, but it was possible because of Cheon Mu-bong.

“First… I have to catch that guy and beat him up.”

“Yeah. If I keep digging, something will come out.”

The plan was to strip Yoon Hyuk-kwon of his possessions and get any information he could about the witnesses.

Information about Grace will also come out if you brush that guy off.

He was the head of the Seven Great Families and all. He was planning to extract information by coaxing them until they died.
