Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

124. The first star

#124. The first star

「The source of the Eucharist」

Her first power created by Cynthia’s divine power.

Her power was complete, but the power contained within it was not complete. The true power of the Holy Spirit is completed the moment she places 101 ‘stars’ inside her body, which contains power.

The stars that will be engraved on her will become a history of dedication.

And in the first chapter of that history,

With the name [ Corpse-Eating Mountain ],

The name of the giant turtle monster will be written.

***

[Langurt… right?]

[Langurt? This is the first time I’ve heard that name.]

Heron responded to Berget’s muttering.

[ You wouldn’t know. Langrt is a planet from another dimension that met its end before you existed. ]

His divine power, Mu-getsu, was destroyed by Arceli’s trick, but just before it was destroyed, he conveyed information about the distortion of space through a trial to Berget.

And that space led to Langrut, one of the planets that Berget knew.

Transcendence Langrt.

A second-dimensional planet designated as the beginning of destruction by foreign media and observers in the past.

[ Is this another universe? ]

[ Yes. The universe where Langrut existed has already ended. ]

[ Then… that planet must have been swallowed by the Watcher? How…? ]

Heron was asking, ‘How did Cynthia end up in a space related to the Watcher?’

[Ah, the karma of death has mutated like that because of Arceli. Is this the first time I’ve seen something like this? I thought one of the final forms of the karma of death was a fragment of the Watcher. Is this the first time you’ve known?]

[ It would be possible because he was connected to that child by some kind of causal relationship. If not… Even if he was the observer, such behavior would be impossible. ]

Cynthia and the Watcher are causally linked to the end of ‘Earth’.

Earth is the place designated by the Watcher as a base for the end of this universe.

Because Cynthia was a resident there.

That is why the two were causally connected.

[ Is there any chance that the child will survive? ]

[ Well. If we just calculate the odds… wouldn’t it be difficult? We’d have to deal with all the ‘monsters of the apocalypse’ that brought down Langrut. ]

[ … That is the ordeal of ‘death karma’ given by the giver. ]

[ Among the guys in Langrt, there were quite a few who were comparable to me back then. Even those guys died… Can a girl like Cynthia break through? ]

[ Even though I was always optimistic back then, I am now reacting skeptically. ]

[ That means the situation is not good. ]

[ How strong were you at that time for that to happen? ]

[ At least, I was stronger than you. ]

[ … … . ]

Heron wondered if Berget was lying, but when he saw the look in his eyes, his doubts disappeared as if they were lies.

The powerful divine power contained in his eyes was pressuring Heron with just his eyes.

[ In short, to survive there… Heron. You have to build up strength that surpasses everything you’ve built up. But there’s no way a guy who hasn’t even been born for 100 years can do that, right? ]

Berget added as he spoke.

[ That’s something I couldn’t do either. ]

Something that even the first Musin Berget could not accomplish.

At those words, Herron tightly closed his eyes.

It seemed like the plan to use Cynthia would have to be scrapped.

***

[ Gu uh uh uh uh – ]

The roar of the giant turtle monster, the corpse-eating mountain, echoed throughout the surrounding area.

‘I can hold on…’

Cynthia walked towards him, enduring the corpse-eating mountain’s cries.

Although there was not a single star in the Holy Body yet, her rank was raised to some extent by creating power.

And thanks to that rise in rank, she has more stats.

‘If you wrap your throwing weapon around as much as possible… you can block it. The odds of winning aren’t as hopeless as before.’

The rise in her status due to her rising status has led her to a higher level.

Even the parts of Arceli’s teachings that I had not been able to understand became understandable as I achieved a higher level.

It really was a chance of winning.

[Old uh uh – ! ! ]

The corpse-eating mountain also recognized Cynthia, and began to roar as it opened its eyes wide in the direction she was.

“Hey! Let’s have a go!”

Cynthia declared war on that guy.

“You little turtle!”

[ Gu uh uh uh uh – ! ! ! ]

As soon as the word turtle came into my mouth, the roar of the corpse-eating mountain became louder.

I don’t know why, but he seemed to dislike that word.

“The odds are against us, but it’s still not good. Still… I can’t back down.”

I have already made up my mind.

I was determined to go higher, and with that mindset, I didn’t want to give up on the first hurdle.

Yeah, it’s just a hurdle to overcome.

Corpse-eating mountain.

That monster, which has the appearance of a giant turtle, is just a gateway to pass through.

[ Old uh uh uh – ]

Ignoring the massive roar that corrupted and polluted the mind, Cynthia fired a salvo at the turtle.

A giant arrow made of her divine power, the throwing weapon, is fired towards the corpse-eating mountain.

Ssaeeeeek-!

Kwajik- The arrow was powerlessly blocked by his outer shell and disappeared. But the arrow she had created was not just one.

Dozens, hundreds, thousands.

A countless number of arrows appeared on the ground, aimed at intercepting a single monster.

It may seem like a simple waste of divine power, but Cynthia’s divine power was now being used to its utmost efficiency.

Although it was short, the ‘trace of nothingness’ that Cynthia created during that time helped to manifest divine powers.

The method of using divine power that Arceli taught me was reducing the consumption of divine power.

and.

Those arrows are… the optimal number of arrows needed to pierce the turtle’s shell.

“Pour down arrows.”

A yellow halo that fills the sky.

Giant arrows,

Following Cynthia’s hand, I fell towards the corpse-eating mountain.

Pavabavabavabava-!

[ Uh uh uh uh uh uh – ! ]

The Corpse-Eating Mountain roared as it watched Cynthia’s attack. It also did not sit idly by and take the attack.

His original position was that of a predator.

Because the role was not to be chased by someone, but to chase after and eat them.

Even though Cynthia had gotten stronger, her position had not changed, so the corpse-eating mountain still moved to devour Cynthia.

The reason he hasn’t attacked until now is purely because of a promise he made to Anmyeong.

But after being attacked like this, I couldn’t just sit still.

At least moderately injured.

No, I was thinking of killing him and then talking to him again.

His attacks make the target immortal even when they die.

[ Uh uh uh uh uh! ]

Soon, Cynthia’s arrows and the giant turtle monster’s laser exploded.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Lights flashed and a vast noise filled the surroundings.

-A monster of incredible strength, incomprehensible.

Cynthia took advantage of the gap in her vision caused by the light.

From noble mtl dot com

After displaying incredible strength using his throwing weapon, he erased his own existence and approached the corpse-eating mountain.

The distance to him was very far, but he was able to reach him immediately by using the newly created method of Chukji.

‘I have to hit the target here…!’

Cynthia carefully expanded her divine powers and examined his condition.

Because of that, the corpse-eating mountain also noticed Cynthia’s presence right away, but Cynthia was quicker to notice his condition.

‘Found it…!’

There was a part that was pierced by the arrow of light.

Since I focused my energy on only certain areas, I thought one place would break through.

‘The body also boasts insane strength… The only place you should aim for is the flesh underneath the outer skin!’

Cynthia jumped to the target position in one breath and entered the outer shell.

After that, he used his divine power to tear apart his insides.

[ Gu uh uh uh uh uh! Gu uh uh uh uh uh -! ]

The corpse-eating mountain began to have seizures.

Regardless, Cynthia continued to use her divine powers to tear, shatter, and destroy the flesh beneath her outer skin.

Kkuduk- kudududududuk-

At that moment, the flesh beneath the skin began to clump together and soon formed a specific shape.

It was the form of the transcendent beings who had been eaten by the corpse-eating mountain until now.

“… Yeah, I don’t think things will end this easily.”

It seemed like the real fight was going to start now.

It was the beginning of the process of getting the first star, and it seemed like things were going to be tough right from the start.

“Then… shall we try it!”

Cynthia swung her bow at the Transcendent beings rushing toward her.
