Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

153. Reunion (2)

#153. Reunion (2)

Because the level of creativity has reached that of a god, it is called a divine spear.

Baek Jin-yool was the head of the Shinchangbaekga family, and he was the one who defeated his father, who was the previous Shinchang, and inherited the title of Shinchang.

Although he has not yet reached the level of his father, who was the greatest swordsman in his prime, he is now a top-tier hero who can stand shoulder to shoulder with other lords.

Skill, technique, and judgment.

All abilities have reached a certain level, and this is a position that can never be narrowed down in a few years.

Yes, even if Cynthia is the most talented one in the setting.

‘I don’t know what kind of experience you had while isolated at the gate, but… fighting Baek Jin-yool is dangerous. We have to intervene before that crazy b*stard swings his spear…!’

I took a step forward, intending to get between Baek Jin-yool and Cynthia. However, my body was blocked by a strange magical power.

“Let me just watch for a moment.”

“…What kind of nonsense is that?”

Cheon So-hye blocked my way and started talking strangely. I ignored her words and tried to move forward. That was when

Boom-!

Baek Jin-yool was pushed out along with the regime that Cynthia had established.

Her blow was blocked by Baek Jin-yool’s spear, but his expression, which had been relaxed the whole time, was seriously distorted.

“what?”

Immediately afterwards, Baek Jin-yool thrust his spear forward with a stern expression. It was a speed that was too fast for me, a normal person, to detect. Everyone must have thought that Cynthia would not be able to dodge his attack. I thought so too, and Shin Dong-baek would have been no different. However, she dodged Baek Jin-yool’s spear strike without a problem.

The spear passed her by a hair’s breadth, but when I saw Cynthia’s relaxed expression, I felt that it was no coincidence that she had dodged Baek Jin-yool’s spear.

“Is that right, Sia?”

It wasn’t a question of whether the person in front of me was really ‘Cynthia’. It was just a question that came out without me realizing it because she had changed so much from the person I knew in the past few years.

The way he treated me was the same, but for some reason, everything else felt different.

“Because of you, I end up worrying about things I don’t need to…! It’s so annoying!”

Cynthia was standing up to Baek Jin-yul, the head of the Seven Great Families, without giving a single step back. No, she was overwhelming him.

Baek Jin-yool, who clearly has the skills of a noble family head.

“What are you talking about…!”

“Just shut up and take the hit!”

“Ugh-!”

Cynthia, who caught Baek Jin-yool’s spear, lifted him up with the spear and threw him. Bang! The main gate of the Shinga shattered, and some of the Baekga troops waiting there rolled around on the ground along with Baek Jin-yool.

“Ugh-”

“Whoa. It’s really hard to control my strength even once… .”

‘… Is this the power adjustment?’

***

-Hmm, hmm… I feel refreshed…

Illian, who had been sleeping in the pattern, woke up from her dream and felt her body become lighter for some reason.

She had been left in the pitch-black darkness for a long time, and soon realized that her spirit body had been projected outside. Before her eyes, a landscape she had longed to see but had not been able to see for years was unfolding again, and a figure she had missed a little was standing there.

-… Sia? Is that Sia?

‘Illien?’

-Yeah! That’s right! It’s me! What happened to you all this time! Do you know how many years I spent in the dark after the communication suddenly stopped? Well, I’m sure you had your own circumstances. Anyway… I’m back!

Illien greeted Cynthia enthusiastically.

-More than that… what is this? It feels like the house has changed. There’s not much that’s different than usual… but somehow the feeling feels old-fashioned. It feels like the house has been upgraded?

‘That’s probably because your soul has moved from the symbol of the scales to the symbol of the guardian. Anyway… I have something to do now, so let’s talk about what’s piling up later.’

Cynthia said so and focused on the task at hand.

“Ugh… freak, monster…”

“A monster? What does that mean?”

Cynthia approached Baek Jin-yool with a smiling expression. He was currently in a state of extreme pain due to the torture method called fusion bone that Cynthia found in the Akashic Records, with the bones in his arms and legs missing. “There’s nothing you can’t say to a woman. That’s why you think like this. Your spearmanship is terrible, and your thinking is terrible. If you keep doing this, will there be a future for the Hundred Schools?”

Looking at the situation, it seemed like the end was already in full swing. In these times, how could it make sense to invade another clan and take their land for my own safety, let alone cooperate?

“Escort the household!”

“Yes, yes. Feel free to escort me. I don’t know if I can do it, but you’ve managed to target the new family with that worthless Baekga method. Everyone.”

Cynthia suppressed her anger and used the minimum amount of force she had to strike down the Baekga vassals. If she had used too much force, it could have been considered ‘murder’ rather than just moderate assault.

It wasn’t that I hesitated to kill someone, but I was worried that if I did, it would look bad to Han Seong-jin.

After Cynthia had devastated the family’s forces, she dragged Baek Jin-yul to a place out of Han Seong-jin’s sight and continued the attack. She reached out and touched some of Baek Jin-yul’s acupoints, and at the same time, she breathed divine power into them. It was a point that no one, not even a transcendent person, could solve.

“Keukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeu-! Save me, save me…!”

“You’re not expecting leniency after taking away my family’s land, are you? Right?”

“Krrrrrrrrrr-”

“Huh? Did you faint? Oh… Really. If you have weak willpower, how can you be a noble family?”

When Baek Jin-yool passed out, foaming at the mouth, Cynthia thought about waking him up and continuing the torture, but shook her head and returned to those who were waiting for her.

“Baek Jin-yul… And, I also cleaned up some of the Baekga troops inside.”

“… Oh, I see.”

Shin Dong-baek couldn’t believe what he was seeing inside with his own eyes. Was this really what he was seeing?

From noble mtl dot com

It’s surprising that my granddaughter, who I would love to put in my two eyes, went missing for years and then returned… and that she went to fight the head of the Shin Chang Baek family alone, and as if that wasn’t enough, she even wiped out the Baek family’s vassals?

“You’ve gotten a lot stronger.”

“Because I was isolated inside the gate… I became stronger!”

Cynthia spoke with a bright expression and stood next to Han Sung-jin. This was where she belonged. Just being by his side made her feel like she was being compensated for all the hardships she had felt up until now.

“Brother.”

“Oh, Sia.”

“From now on, don’t fall. Us.”

She actively expressed her affection by tightly hugging Han Seong-jin’s arm.

[Huh? This energy…? That child’s energy? This powerful divine power… Is it of a higher rank?]

Heron, the goddess of dawn and radiance, sensed a familiar presence on Earth. It was the child she had once taken as an apostle. She was transferred to the planet Langrut, which had long ago met its end, by the karma of death, and she was certain that he had died there… But he had attained a higher rank and reappeared on Earth?

[ You came back alive from there? Judging from the energy you felt, it’s clear that you’ve achieved a higher rank, just like Heron said… But that wasn’t enough? Oh, it seems another foreign agent intervened. ]

[ … That’s impossible. They only care about their own business, regardless of whether the universe is destroyed or not. There’s no way that a child who was mortal until recently would receive the attention of foreign media. ]

[ Are your eyes slits? Heron? ]

[ What did you say? ]

Although Cynthia had hidden most of her outward appearance through her fantasy realization, she could not fool the eyes of the god of war who had come close to the foreign god itself.

‘…Did you become an apostle?’

The god of martial arts, Mu-wol, saw through Cynthia’s essence and felt her divine power within the realization of fantasy. It was the energy of the throwing spirit and the power of fantasy. And it was the energy of ‘him’ who represented order.

‘A foreigner with a lawful disposition… the spirit of a guardian. You have become his apostle.’

Berget laughed in disbelief.

The child who was thought to be dead for sure returned as a higher rank and an apostle of the foreign gods. And he was the one who was originally supposed to be an apostle.

[ I guess I’ll have to bring forward the time of my arrival on Earth. ]

[ Are you saying that the time of descent is being brought forward? Then, we may face a backlash from the law of causality… ]

[ I’ll take care of everything, so don’t worry about it. Heron. This isn’t a request. This is a notice. ]

[ … Even if it were you, do you think you could handle causality on your own without the assistance of the Pantheon? ]

[Okay.]

[ …yes? ]

[ Okay. I guess I just need to draw out some of the strength I’ve stored up so far. ]

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge and powerful divine power burst out from Berget like a waterfall. The amount was so great that it covered the entire residence of Heron with divine power.

[ Is this part of the power…? ]

Berget opened his mouth, looking at the Earth.

[ It would be a good warm-up opponent before taking on those guys. ]
