Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

“Why is Anonymous here…?”

He said he was leaving because of madness.

He said that if I came to my senses from it, my memories would fly away and it would be difficult to meet him again.

And yet, what he had in front of him now was… either the madness was continuing, or his memories had not disappeared after he became ill.

And, looking at his current anonymous state, it didn’t seem to be the latter.

“Hahaha. I guess that’s why it’s been so long… Yeah. That’s right. It’s been so long.”

Cynthia looked at the nameless person.

He had a more chilling madness in his eyes than when he had said goodbye the other day.

That wasn’t all.

‘Is this the breath of death…?’

The energy that I felt through the managers was also felt from the anonymous person.

“Anonymous… You… .”

“Oh, you noticed. Hmm. It seems that your ability to manipulate divine powers has developed a lot. Well, in order to survive in this situation, you have no choice but to constantly grow.”

The nameless man continued speaking, looking up at the sky.

“It’s a fucking world.”

He was suffering from madness, but he didn’t seem crazy. Rather, he seemed too normal?

It was a strange thing.

“Me too, and you too… We were just unlucky. That’s all there is to it. Yes. That’s how it is…”

After staring at the purple sky for a while, Moo-myeong soon lowered his head and looked at Cynthia.

“…What level of manager are you?”

“I am not a manager.”

He shook his head firmly and pushed away the monsters and transcendent beings that approached him.

With one gesture of his hand, a barrier was formed around Cynthia and Nameless. No one could cross the barrier created by Nameless.

“The highest level administrator. Above that, the being called ‘Apostle.’”

“…apostle?”

“Ugh… Shit.”

Dismissal- Dismissal-

Purple sparks flew around the nameless head.

With a pained expression on his face, the anonymous man clutched his head and muttered curses softly before coming to his senses as if the pain had subsided.

“… Are you okay, huh?”

“Ugh, okay. I guess… I guess we should stop talking here. That damn foreign guy keeps talking nonsense…”

“… … .”

“be careful.”

After saying those words, Anumyeong did not say anything else.

Cynthia looked at him and aimed her bow silently.

Seeing him being manipulated by foreign media made me feel a little sad, but I couldn’t just let him die here.

I didn’t think about dying until I saw Han Seong-jin again, or even after I saw him!

‘I will definitely survive…!’

Even if he was a benefactor who had saved my life once, it wouldn’t have made any difference.

Cynthia was planning to take down the nameless one and finish her ten years here.

The arrow of demon annihilation.

A sacred arrow wrapped in heavenly flames was shot toward the nameless.

“Please die-!”

***

The flower garden of the sanctuary.

A sacred place, a sanctuary created by drawing upon the power of the Creator’s external gods. It is a place where death is strictly forbidden from entering.

That’s why not everyone in the sanctuary died.

But I ended up falling into an eternal sleep.

The Watcher of the End granted those in the Sanctuary eternal sleep instead of death.

In this way, everyone in the sanctuary fell into a deep sleep, spending eons in a state no different from death.

Time is fixed in spring, the warm season continues, and in fantasy their bodies are gradually forgotten.

Flowers bloom, trees grow.

Their bodies were covered with grass.

Rustle- rustle-

In a sanctuary that seemed like it would never change, a woman woke up.

“… a change has occurred.”

The woman woke up from her sleep, having driven away the ‘spell’ of the spectator with the power of the foreign god she had made a contract with.

The moment she wakes up is the only moment this planet can escape from ‘his bonds’.

“The only chance for everyone to die in peace has arrived….”

The time has come for those who have spent eternity in the stomachs of foreign gods without being able to reincarnate to be released.

***

Anonymous didn’t want to kill Cynthia.

To be precise, I didn’t want to kill anyone anymore.

How many transcendent beings have died by their own hands on this planet? So much blood has been spilled. Even though an incalculable amount of time had passed, the shitty memories still came back to me clearly.

That memory was engraved in my mind and I couldn’t erase it even if I wanted to.

No, it shouldn’t have been erased.

Because I have to atone for my sins for the rest of my life.

‘…sorry.’

Anonymous… Cain apologized to Cynthia inwardly and swung his sword at her.

A powerful blow.

It was a blow that contained the power of the foreign god, ‘death’.

“With a hazy expression… Don’t attack!”

However, Cynthia took Cain’s attack without a hitch and struck him in the face with her bow.

“You… how…?”

Cain asked, pointing to the aura of death hovering over Cynthia’s forehead.

Shouldn’t he have died for sure…?

Even if you are a transcendent being, isn’t it normal that you can’t withstand the energy of an outsider?

“Ah, this? I blocked it with my power.”

“That’s… impossible!”

“To be exact, I would say that I extracted the administrator’s abilities and combined them with my own power. Thanks to that, I gained the ability called ‘death immunity.’”

Cynthia decided to enjoy this inevitable situation. She thought it was a courtesy to her benefactor who had saved her life, and a way to increase her chances of getting out of here alive.

“Death… Immunity? Huh, something like that… something like that is possible…?”

You killed the administrator and took away his powers, so he is no longer affected by the ‘force of the outside world’?

‘If that were possible… Langrut wouldn’t have ended up like this!’

Cain attacked Cynthia with even more power of death, destroying space and time and bringing the ‘hit’ future into reality, dealing an unknowable blow.

“This, this… doesn’t make sense. What’s the principle? I don’t really get it…”

Cynthia exhaled heavily and swung her bow.

Her heart was still beating.

Cain frowned.

“It’s strange. It’s strange… It’s strange. This is… Then why are the other guys dead… .”

Cain’s madness grew worse and worse.

His eyes were completely red, and whatever sanity remained in his mind was completely consumed by madness.

“Just die.”

Cain moved in front of Cynthia and grabbed her by the neck.

“Keuk- Keuk-!”

“Die. Die. Die!”

It was a slender body.

The body has been formed, but is not yet fully formed.

If you apply enough force, her neck will break and her body will crumble.

‘Kill him… Throw him away… !’

I thought that if I injected the power of death directly into my body, Cynthia would die too.

Cain really wanted to kill Cynthia.

“asleep-!”

That was when I was trying to give strength.

“Keh- I don’t like it!”

Cynthia kicked Cain with the holy veil around her leg.

‘Whoa… I really thought I was going to die…!’

Although death immunity is a great ability, there is no answer when you are hit by the aura of death while your body is cut off.

How come, I just had that thought.

Her intuition was mostly right, and she didn’t want to go so far as to have her neck cut off in the first place, so Cynthia took the opportunity to wrap a purifying flower around her foot and kick him.

‘Thank goodness it worked!’

I’m not letting my guard down, but his attacks are completely invisible. It looks like I’ll have to keep getting hit and figure him out.

A situation where a single mistake could lead to death. Cynthia inexplicably enjoyed this absurd situation.

‘Am I crazy…? How can I find this situation enjoyable…?’

I thought it might be because of the adrenaline secreted in my body, but it didn’t seem to be the only reason.

“Anyway… right now, surviving comes first!”

I decided to think about it later.

In the current situation, thinking was a luxury.

“huh?”

Cynthia was shocked when Cain, who had been in front of her just a moment ago, disappeared. She looked around, but Cain was nowhere to be seen.

Gooo-

And as we feel an ominous aura above, we look up to the sky.

A huge purple sphere had formed.

“If this is the case, I’ll die.”

“… Ahaha. Ahahaha.”

Cynthia thought that if she got hit with that, she would definitely die.

Cain was looking at himself in the air, pouring energy into the purple sphere. At the same time, he was unable to move, but there was no place to escape.

Because this area was surrounded on all sides by the barrier he created.

I thought it was a relief that I wouldn’t have to deal with other monsters or transcendent beings, but that wasn’t the case.

‘Am I going to die like this…?’

It was a moment when death was so clearly visible.

[ ??? is activated. ]

One of the abilities I gained as an adult was suddenly activated.

[ Entering the sanctuary . ]

A white hand from the vision pulled Cynthia’s body towards her.
