Even Though I was the Real Saint, I was Exiled—Which Means my Country is Over

The deeper you go into the woods, the deeper you feel the curse.

"Ralph! Over there!"

I got it!

I was flying instructions to Ralph and heading to Alberto.

Such a strong curse.

How much resentment did the curser have?

Just imagine that and your skin will rise.

Eventually, I arrived at a place open to the forest...

"Yikes!

Elaine!

Ralph's body suddenly rises.

This caused us to lose our balance and get away from Ralph.

However, on the verge of colliding with the ground, Nigel jumped off Ralph and landed with me.

"Are you okay? Eliane"

"Yeah, yeah. Thank you very much."

Get away from Nigel's hands and put your feet on the ground.

"Mmm... what is this...!?

Ralph was floating up with a black aura.

Is that... a curse?

"Ralph! I'll help you soon!

I clasped my hands and lifted the curse on Ralph.

Then Ralph slowly descended, and she had nothing to do with it.

"Looks like the general is finally here."

Nigel, on the other hand, holds his sword and looks forward.

"Ellie, Arne... roll... here, roll..."

Beyond Nigel's gaze was a man carrying a bright red sword painted with blood.

The man held his head and looked like he was suffering from something.

"Alberto....!

I call that name.

Apparently, the curse itself seemed to be on the sword.

But the powerful curse eroded the owner, Alberto, and drove the black aura.

"Alberto, what the hell are you thinking! What the hell are you aiming at...."

"Nigel, it's no use. He's completely insane."

That's how he controls Nigel, who asks Alberto.

Even so, it's too strong and evil a curse.

Moreover, the curse spread not only to Alberto, but also to the monsters that approached him.

This strong curse must have caused the monster to become violent.

"Kh... I'm dizzy...!

As if Nigel had caused lightheadedness, his footsteps would be lost.

There's nothing I can do about it.

Because while we're doing this, we don't know when we're going to be cursed.

What's not going to happen is that I immediately broke the line. The other is due to his strong will.

"Is Ralph okay?

Of course. But no matter how god beast Ralph is, it is also tough. Long-term battles are tough.

Ralph also seemed to be suffering.

"Curses are said to be easier for people with darkness in their hearts. He must have been so eroded by the curse because he was originally in darkness."

That's how I analyze it.

However, it is not the case that I am explaining it at length now.

With his insane opponent, it seems impossible to hear the story in detail.

The first step would be to purify that red sword and the curse he possesses.

"Ahhhhhh!

Alberto's beast-like roar.

He shook up his sword and attacked me.

"Oops."

But Nigel jumped out in front of me.

"I'm your opponent. I won't let her touch a finger."

and took Alberto's sword with his own.

A struggle occurs.

"Kh...!

But Nigel was pushed tightly.

Alberto's evil red sword approaches his face.

"Ko, ro... u...!

Alberto had repeatedly "killed" Nigel.

Nigel.

I put my hand on his back like that.

"I will now give you the protection of the goddess."

"Goddess protection...?

Nigel does not look back and asks me questions without distracting himself from Alberto.

"Nevertheless, accepting the protection of the goddess may be a bit painful for those with (...) qualifications. But I'm sure you can use this power. So....."

"Okay, okay. No matter what the ordeal is, I can endure it if I want to protect Elaine. We can't beat him like this. Elaine, can you do me a favor?

Yes!

Nigel's body was wrapped in light, centered on my hand.

It rips open the surrounding darkness, but holy light spreads to the sky.

"Haah!

Nigel speaks and pushes Albert.

"Gu...!

Alberto couldn't stand the force and retreated from us for a while.

"Is this... the protection of the goddess?

Nigel suddenly seemed confused by the power he was given.

—— The protection of the goddess, fits.

As I explained to Nigel, the protection of the goddess is not granted to anyone.

He who has an evil heart cannot accept the Holy Power, but only suffers.

But Nigel has a strong heart, so the power of the goddess fits perfectly.

I am a true (...) Virgin.

She is not a false (...) saint like Leticia.

Therefore, I am blessed by the goddess.

With its power, it has used powerful healing magic and boundary magic to protect the kingdom of Berkaim.

My power is to protect people.

I can't fight for myself, but I can temporarily strengthen my powers by granting this protection to others.

Such a virgin has another name.

The goddess's proxy-- and.

"Alberto"

Nigel calls out his name.

The holy light of dazzling enveloped Nigel —— and the surroundings.

Honestly, I was surprised.

I can't believe this has happened...

No matter how much goddess protection you can grant, there is no point if you do not conform.

I hear that the stronger the 'will to protect people', the more the goddess will bless you.

Reach out to people in need, such as me and Douglas - without hesitation.

As the prince of Lynch Giham, he keeps watch over the fate of thousands and tens of thousands of people.

... and so on.

"I will not forgive my country - and the enemies of my loved ones."

"Gu, Ko, Ro... haah!

"You're the only one. But behind me is the Virgin... and tens of thousands of people. I can't afford to lose to you, the sword that protects them."

"Ahhhhhh!

I wonder if Nigel's words have not arrived as early as possible.

Alberto attacked him without sexual harassment.

"You drowned in strength. Except for Elaine. She has great power, but she used it for people - the difference is too big."

But no matter how much Alberto attacked, it was useless.

We will never win or lose again.

"Haaaaahh!

Nigel shook up Alberto's sword before it arrived.

And tear the space apart.

Then waves appeared, wrapping Alberto's body as a flash of light.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Bigger screams.

Nigel's flash, blessed by the Goddess, purifies Alberto - and the curse on his sword.

Eventually his screams, wrapped in light, stopped and he fell to the ground.

"You did it...?

I nod.

Nigel remained alert and approached the fallen Alberto.

The previous curse has completely vanished.

Alberto kept his eyes shut and didn't even show signs of getting up.

"Yeah, it's over. Now Alberto... and the curse on the sword is gone."

"So are the monsters in the woods...."

"The Ohmoto is gone. I can't tell you right away, but you should gradually regain your sanity."

When I explained this, Nigel sat there as if he was exhausted.

"I see... good. You're safe."

"Oh, I believed in your victory from the beginning."

Something went wrong and giggled and laughed.

Ugh... Nigel. Well done. Ralph will praise you.

Ralph approached Nigel and licked his face with his tongue.

I gently stroked Nigel's head.
