monotone (4)
Before my attack arrived, the dwarves seemed to be defending themselves, but it was not enough to block them all.
Dozens of light bullets broke the barrier and pierced the dwarf’s body.
I didn’t even look at him properly and ran towards the fallen Priestess Rhys.
I could see the letters swirling around Priest Rhys disappearing one by one as if crumbling. But it hasn’t completely disappeared yet.
That was enough. It’s not too late.
While treating the wounds on the body, I thought of a short medical knowledge.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation…so we just have to somehow get the heart to start beating again before there’s anything fatal to the brain.

Life and death are the realm of God’s jurisdiction, so trying to invade him is blasphemy in itself, so let’s stop talking about it. In the end, human beings can be saved somehow as long as their brains work normally and their hearts beat to carry blood.
It was when I was preparing to somehow save Priest Reese, remembering the defibrillator I use for CPR.
“Are you trying to deny death? He wouldn’t know he was dead.”
From one side, the voice of a dwarf who must have been hit by light bullets and had his limbs torn off began to be heard.
I wasn’t surprised. As I fired the light bullets, I saw the dwarves in my eyes, and in the end, I came to know for sure that even this dwarf was not the culprit of the situation, but a culprit being manipulated by the real culprit.
Even if the limbs of an already dead body exploded, it wouldn’t be considered a blow.
I turned my head for a moment and looked towards the place where the voice came from. A dwarf with a cruel look was looking at me.
For a living person, the amount of blood flowing from the wound was surprisingly little, and even that blood was a strange color that was discolored bluish rather than the usual color.
Even in such a form, there was no sign of pain or any sign of pain on his face, and there was an emotion of pure curiosity.
It was a clear curiosity that made it possible to recognize the aura even though it was invisible.
“”I don’t understand. Are you overwhelmed with emotions and commit ineffective things? I thought you weren’t like that.”
Even though I didn’t answer, the dwarf continued to express his feelings about my actions, and I responded impulsively, with enthusiasm once again.
“It will look ineffective to your ignorant eyes.”
Of course, just because I responded impulsively, I didn’t do the stupid thing of kindly explaining my actions from now on.
He just mocked the opponent for being an ignorant guy. As he looked down on others as ignorant and regained his self-esteem, he became a little cold-hearted.
And, while using the word efficiency, those who take pride in acting rationally differently from others are best criticized for being ignorant.
“”Death is absolute…””
The Dwarf, who had been talking up to that point, suddenly stopped talking. The moment he tried to look away, the Dwarf spoke again, wondering if the connection was cut off because the corpse could not stand it any longer.
“Is it possible to overcome death?”
If I had been able to freely overcome death, I would have saved the people who died outside right away. It’s just that it’s not too late for Priest Rhys.
It was an overestimation that I didn’t even have the will to respond because I was dumbfounded.
I was just going to ignore it, so I decided to ask the question that I had decided to ask in the first place.
“Why the hell did you keep aiming for that garland while making such a fuss?”
There was no guessing at all.
I only gave the tree divine power without any particular intention, but just as it became something unknown after I went on an expedition, the corolla must have acquired some special ability after I infused it with divine power.
And all of that must have been the cause of the absurd overestimation of the other person, who doubted whether I could overcome even death.
What I was curious about was, what the hell had that corolla turned into, why did he go so far as to try to steal it?
Upon receiving my question, the Dwarf answered without hesitation.
“”I am still incomplete””
It sounds a little out of the blue to see it as an answer to my question.
Instead of interrupting him, I decided to listen quietly.
He was busy trying to save Priest Rhys, and as he felt at the greenhouse, this guy was simpler than he thought.
In order not to interfere with his plans, he did not reveal that part, but he did not bother to hide the other parts, but instead showed an attitude of trying to get recognition or find out something by telling me.
He was a guy who would blow information on his own if he matched the rhythm appropriately.
“”I have learned the principles of numerous sacred objects, but they are not enough to be used as a decisive power source””
In fact, as soon as I uttered the words, meaningful words came out.
Acquire the principles of holy objects. Power source.
“The corolla and the tree had it?”
“Your divine power is something different, it is not the normal human divine power.”
This time, instead of being silent to keep the other person talking, he was silent because he couldn’t find anything to say.
I thought that no one would have noticed that. I wouldn’t have thought much of it until now if the elven god hadn’t told me, but there is a guy who noticed something different with just his insight.
“I paid attention to your actions and noticed that when demon worshipers here randomly corrupt humans, the corruption was delayed and became the starting point for solving the case.”
As the unexpected story came out again, I had to waste some time to understand what the dwarf was saying.
Perhaps he was referring to the patient whom the surrogate met when he went to the old church with the surrogate of the beastmen, and the surrogate was surprised at how little corruption had progressed.
But why is that patient all of a sudden? Why is this guy interested in that patient?
“At first, I was simply looking for a means to control the dark magic and found it, but soon I was able to deduce that the cause was the corolla that was there.”
My head was confused. At that time, the slowing down of the patient’s depravity was because of the corolla?
If you think about it, there was a part that makes sense.
The hospital didn’t accept it, so he said that he visited Priest Rhys every time he received treatment.
Besides, the kid’s friend. The kid’s friend also said that the mutation was slow. Likewise, he said he stopped by church from time to time because he was religious as a kid in the slums.
If all of that was because of the corolla, the angler was right.
But…when I visited the church at that time, there was nothing visible. The acting doctor also dismissed it as simply beautiful.
“So I needed that corolla”
That means…
“It’s not because I made it, it’s just that I needed a corolla…?”
I realized what I was mistaken about.
This guy wasn’t aiming because the crown was made by me, it was just targeting the tree and all the crowns.
If so, someone in the church finds out that I made the corolla, which I was deducing, and the assumption that there is a traitor or a criminal inside the church is also ruined.
It’s not the Church of Calliul, it’s not the Church of Orion. Then where the hell is the traitor?
Even if this guy did it alone, there must have been a reason why he sought information.
In the end, this guy who is doing the work will come aiming for the tree, and even if he can’t figure out his identity, he’ll know it when he faces it, so it wasn’t a big problem, but something that seemed elusive from a while ago kept hitting my nerves.
“As expected, when I got it, I realized that this is also yours, Ronan.”
Besides, that guy achieves his goal and then gains an additional information advantage.
“Perhaps, at the moment when the divinity was not fully established, it would have become a holy relic if it had not been cured of the humans who were mutating due to corruption.
I honestly can’t follow half of what he’s talking about.
Maybe it’s because I think I’m aware of all of this, but I’m spreading information to the point of being ignorant, so let’s make a rough inference based on that. Something happened, and because of that, I couldn’t become a holy relic. It sounds like this…
I couldn’t help but shake my head for a moment.
Then, is it true that the corolla is useless as a result?
“But I guess I didn’t foresee this far. Even if the divinity no longer flows in it, I can know the path that divinity wanted to achieve. It’s because I’m in a similar situation.”
Okay. It seems like he’s answering my question. If anyone sees it, he’ll think he’s reading minds like that elven god. It’s unlikely that he didn’t notice that I’m not even following half of his words.
So, in the eyes of ordinary people, it may just look like a corolla, but you’re saying you can get something out of it? This isn’t good.
Still, nothing was gained.
The other party pointed out that my prediction was short and handed over the information, as if he had kept in mind the fact that I said I didn’t know anything.
To be honest, it doesn’t matter too much to me. Stand tall and enjoy the feeling of victory. It’s true that I know less than my opponent right now.
Anyway, the last one standing is the winner.
The word power source. Calls himself a thing. Calls himself a similar situation to Hwa-gwan. Strangely, he does not stand out from others. He often shows an attitude that he does not understand emotions. ‘s puppet position.
Combining the information I’ve gathered so far, I was able to roughly infer the identity of the guy I was dealing with.
“So, how about it? Do you think you can be reborn as the person you want if you only have that corolla and tree? Mr. ‘thing’.”
As we talked, I calmed down to the point where the honorifics that had stuck to my lips came back.
Whether it’s because he didn’t really want to hide it, or because he thought he wouldn’t get caught even if he said this, looking back, there were hints that were so profound that you wonder why he hadn’t thought of them until now.
Perhaps in this world, things other than the four races, even if they have life, are not considered distinct intelligences, and objects with egos are unimaginable.
When I deliberately put an accent on the word object, there was no word from the existence beyond the dwarves for a moment.
“”Did you notice me? Is Orion whispering wisdom to you?”
Orion whispered me and I noticed it a little faster.
“”The possibilities are good, for I do not make the mistakes of your intellects.”
“mistake?”
“It’s like the mistake you’re making. Doesn’t Orion tell you that the one you’re trying to save is dead?”
The sudden attack broke the thoughts that had been going on until now.
A fact I had been ignoring suddenly began to come into my eyes.
The blood smeared from the priest’s clothes and on my hands and clothes seemed to suggest the priest’s death.
No. It’s not too late. At least we’re putting it off.
Even the letters hovering around have not disappeared yet.
However, he was trying to do something by infusing divine power and circulating blood in his body in a way that was almost forced, but that’s all, Priest Rhys’ heart showed no signs of beating again.
From nob le mt l. com
Like the young lady nestled in her heart, something with thorns was blocking the divine power from interfering with her heart.
Perhaps the reason I had been concentrating on the conversation with that guy until now was because I wanted to escape from the reality right in front of me.
At the time of the young lady, the young lady was still alive. Even after that, without knowing anything at the time, she was able to save her life after hitting her with divine power to the extent that her life was in danger.
Of course, something in Priest Rhys’ heart was a bit smaller, but from now on, it consumed a lot of divine power from the outside until now, and above all, it consumed an enormous amount of divine power to keep the body of Priest Ris, who had already died, as if it were alive. was becoming
Right now, I’m preventing complete death by hitting the holy power, but if the holy power runs out like this? What if I can’t revive it by then?
As soon as I faced reality, ominous thoughts began to come to me.
“”Even people like you get caught up in emotions, just as the beings outside the door did. That’s the weak point of intelligence. It leads to mistakes and makes mistakes.””
I never wanted to admit it, but personally, I was somewhat sympathetic to the words of the guy who didn’t want to see him.
“So you think you have no feelings?”
But that didn’t mean I would silently accept his words. My mind was at its limit to the point where I was conscious that I couldn’t escape with proper self-justification anymore, and at times like this, I had to do something to calm myself down.
And that, like me, was bringing down others. That shady mental victory that stands up there and pretends to be lofty and brings down that guy, who tells him that you’re no different.
“Of course, because I don’t have any emotions in the first place.”
it took
In the first place, the best attitude to deal with an aggro species like me who is determined and tries to induce a muddy fight by bringing down the opponent with anger is to just ignore it.
But there’s no way this guy who’d been talking to me all of a sudden would ignore it like that.
“It’s funny. To claim that you will become a perfect being without even noticing your feelings.”
“”Do I have feelings? gibberish””
My mental strength has somehow recovered enough that I can laugh at the somewhat emotional response, as if my words had hit a nerve.
Even if I hadn’t intended to provoke the other person, I wouldn’t have agreed with that statement.
A guy who reacts so instantly, what? Has no feelings? A passing dog would laugh.
“Now that emotion is anger.”
The hall suddenly became quiet at my words.
“The feeling right now is embarrassment.”
From nob le mt l. com
Likewise, no answer came.
“You went through this tragedy to obtain that crown. It is the feeling of a longing to become a perfect being.”
“for a moment.”
“Did you say that you couldn’t understand my behavior? You saw that a being like me made mistakes, and you said that emotions are unnecessary and that you can succeed without emotions. That’s a sense of superiority.”
“Stop it.”
“And above all… even after you have achieved your goal, you continue to talk to me, insulting the bodies of those who died here. The feeling of wanting to be recognized even by me, who can be seen as an enemy…”
“noisy.”
In the end, mana spewed out convulsively from the unbearable Dwarf’s corpse.
And that was what I was aiming for.
No matter how much I try to keep my spirits up by stimulating the opponent in a corner, will I really have a meaningless argument with my opponent in this situation after seeing only one thing?
The mana that was flooding me was entangled in my holy power and began to be absorbed into me.
“What have you done?”
The elven god said that. I can also handle dark magic if I set my mind to it. Actually, I was able to handle it without any problems. Although it is known as the energy of contradiction.
It seems that a completely different aura was created by combining black magic and mana, which is a little different from normal mana.
This heterogeneous aura in Priest Rhys’ body was probably something that guy used a trick, and he kept stimulating it, thinking that there might be some possibility if he used his own aura.
And my predictions were only half right.
“Sir…”
The backlash from mana and holy power was so severe that he inadvertently cursed.
This was tolerable. But at least you have to save Priest Ris. That’s how you give a little meaning to those who died outside.At least you guys took the time to save Priest Ris, so I’m really grateful. you can talk
When Mana was used, the disparate aura embedded in Priest Rhys’ heart began to disappear with incomparable ease.
After that, it was a breeze.
As the divine power and opposing energy disappeared, the poured divine power continued to stimulate the heart, and finally.
“Cool.”
With the sound of coughing, the blood flowed from Priest Rhys and began to wet my holy clothes.
It’s okay. This is just dead blood flowing out. I just want to live. As long as I’m alive, I can do anything.
“Cool.”
As soon as I thought about it, a bloody cough came out of my mouth.
This…it’s okay. It bleeds a little because of the repulsive force. It can heal on its own.
It wasn’t serious.
“Nonsense.”
A voice more muffled than before came from the dwarf, as if the limit was gradually approaching.
That moment.
“Saint Ronan!”
“Ronan-nim!”
The princess, who had rushed into the room with the knights as if she had finished cleaning the outside, hesitated and looked at me and the fallen dwarf alternately.
“You really raised the dead? That’s impossible. …Or am I thinking about something wrong?”
Anyway, since I have eyes to see, it’s impossible to continue the conversation with him anymore. And I’m very tired, probably because I was relieved while reviving Priest Rhys. spoke up
“Great is an understatement. Great. Is that a power that only sentient beings with emotions can have? Is that what you wanted to tell me?”
…Wait a minute, but stop talking nonsense about how I taught you something.
I couldn’t tell if this was a ploy to f*ck me or pure admiration because there was no aura.
“Where are the emotions? In the heart? Where is the soul? Is that also in the heart? Is that why you touched the heart and treated it like that?”
That’s just because the basics of CPR is heart compression, you wretch. It would be useless to say this to someone who doesn’t even know what CPR is.
“Finally I know. Why I was a heart. What a heart means.”
Even in the midst of exhaustion, I had no choice but to turn my gaze towards the dwarves.
…I don’t think this bastard is kidding? Did he really realize something?
“Now I am convinced. I will put a circle in the shape of a wreath inside my heart, and I will accumulate everything you have taught me on each floor. The moment I finally obtain your essence, I will finally be complete.”
Saying that, the dwarf barely moved his body, which was no longer moving, and turned to me.
As if he was trying to say thanks to me, even if it was just that way.
Right after that, the corpse lay back on the floor like a puppet whose thread had been cut, and all functions ceased.
What the hell is going on?
It was difficult to grasp thanks to the sudden change in the situation, but roughly two things were certain.
“I have to go back to…to the conservatory…to the academy right now.”
One is that the fight isn’t over yet.
“Ronan-sama! Now is not the time! Blood…Blood!”
“Okay. We’ll take care of it. For now… just please rest. Let the situation end immediately and ask for external support!”
“yes!”
Celia, the princess, and other people gathered around me and started to make a fuss, and the whispering sounds of the knights suddenly came out strangely clear.
“You said you… brought a dead person back to life…?”
“Obviously so…”
And the other one is that the people who came in now have a strange misunderstanding.
This isn’t my blood. It’s got some of my blood in it, but…not most of it.
And it’s not like he raised the dead. Strictly speaking, it’s true that he raised the dead for a while, but anyway… it’s not like what you guys think. It’s not really.
