I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With

70 – Beyond the Pit of Fire

“Hey, you lion cub! Pay attention to me too!”

When the guy completely forgot about my existence, I threw a bean bullet to divert his attention.

Too-doo-duk!

It is a toy without lethal power, but the special bean bullets that exploded when exploded were so large that they succeeded in attracting the lion’s attention and saved the saint.

Kang!

[Oh!]

We succeeded in capturing his gaze, but the attack failed because the saintess twisted her body to avoid the lion’s attack.

It was so disappointing because if you break the crystal, you can be neutralized in an instant.

‘It’s a shame that I’m disappointed, so I need to find the next solution quickly!’

I prepared to throw something at the lion.

“Step back!”

The saint heard my words and took a few steps away from the lion. However, her strides are long and she moves away from the lion to a safe range.

‘After… Let’s throw well… ‘

After catching my breath, I tightly held the flask in my right hand.

‘I trust my poor strength!’

The flask filled with purple liquid falls from my hand and flies into the air. However, looking at the flying parabola, it doesn’t seem like it will fall anywhere near the lion.

“Oh, that’s right then.”

From the beginning, I didn’t think that this weak arm, with the protection magic, would throw a flask weighing about 500 grams and hit it accurately at the lion.

I stretched out my hand and released the magic power I had gathered in advance, creating a wind. The flask jumps with the help of the wind just before it falls to the floor.

In that state, magical power is released again. Acceleration is given to the flying flask, sending it flying at a speed so fast that the lion cannot even react.

Clink.

I succeeded in accurately hitting the lion using two spells.

Thanks to you, the right arm that released the magical energy will burn and disappear, but if it falls near us, it is dangerous, and if it misses and falls near the carriage, it would be dangerous to the people inside, so we had to do something like this.

The broken flask became shards of glass and became lodged in the lion’s face. And the most important contents immediately enter the wound and enter the person’s body.

“Crung…?!”

The lion, which was running wild, loses its balance and falls down. It’s natural. He absorbed a poison that would make any human faint at the mere smell of it into his body. Would he be able to withstand it?

‘I’m glad I stole it from the train… ‘

The poison that was stolen without being noticed by others has come to light.

“Let’s wait until the poison wears off and see if he’s dead. It’ll take at least a few hours… Let’s rest here for now.”

I sat down suddenly, holding my right arm.

“Priest, poison… Why do you have such an item…?”

“Originally, there is a slight difference between poison and medicine. I had it because I was researching poison to make medicine for the sick. Rather, saintess. Please come and heal my arm…”

“Ah… Yes!”

I told the saintess the excuse I had thought of in advance and held out her right arm.

The condition of the arm with the sleeve rolled up was serious. The skin was black as if on fire, and the slightest movement caused pain as the blood vessels burst. If a therapist had not been around and the arm had been left unattended, permanent disability would have occurred.

“I pray to her mother, please fill this person’s wounds with your grace…”

Fortunately, the best healer, a saint, was next to me, and my arm recovered completely. Still, there will be aftereffects, so I won’t be able to use my magic for a while.

Now that we’ve done that, let’s take a break. I need to check the condition of the people in the carriage, but both I and the saintess seem tired. Save your luck now and work later…

[Uh… I’m sorry while I’m taking a break, but is there something strange about the lion?]

Warrr…

At Tina’s words, she turned her gaze toward the lion and saw a huge fire burning through her poisonous fog.

You can see a lion standing like a mountain in the flames that are rapidly expanding in size, ready to engulf the poisonous fog.

‘…f*ck’

I thought she would have some immunity to poison.

It doesn’t make sense to win against dwarf warriors if you just die from poison or something.

But, I never thought that I would wake up fine even after receiving extreme poison…

‘No, looking at the condition, it doesn’t look fine.’

When I looked closely at the lion, I realized that its body was slightly vibrating. This is proof that the poison worked, even if not as much as desired.

If I push with a stronger poison, I will win, but none of the poisons I have left are as extreme as the one I just threw.

“hehehe… Saint Lady. Can I leave that guy to you?”

In the end, I had no choice but to choose the pathetic way of relying on someone.

“Of course. I’ll do whatever the priest asks.”

“Thank you. I will support you as much as possible from behind, so please win.”

The saint grabbed Tina again and confronted her messenger.

The two glare at each other. Tension and silence pass between them.

“He is in a weakened state! Let’s rush in and compete before he recovers!”

What broke the mood was my shouting and the saintess’s charge. The saintess rushed quickly with Tina and attempted to strike down her lion’s head.

But even lions do not sit still. Even when poisoned, it uses its nimble body to roll across the floor and avoid sword strikes coming straight down.

“Kick him in the head!”

The saint’s kick follows immediately. She was trying to attack by taking advantage of the ground rolling. But it was a mistake in judgment.

The bastard got up faster than expected and grabbed the saint’s leg with her tail, causing the saint to lose her balance, fall, and be attacked by her lion.

“Ugh… Let go of this…!”

The lion opens her huge snout and thrusts at her head. Her saintess pushes against her mouth with her sword, but is losing ground in her battle of strength.

“Eat this, you bastard!”

I threw the bean bullet again and tried to steal his attention. However, I do not look back to see if he has learned that binge drinking of bean bullets is not dangerous.

‘Then… ‘

I put all the remaining bean pellets in a paper bag and ran. When the distance between me and the guy was only about 5m, I threw a bunch of bean bullets at him.

“Growl!”

A bean bullet exploded in the guy, making a loud explosion, but the guy gritted his teeth and tried to attack the saint.

“Priest…! Run away no more…!”

The saint’s physical strength is slowly reaching its limits. sh*t! How can I get out of this sh*tty situation?

-My father shined the moonlight on a dark night.

At the moment of crisis, someone’s voice is heard from far away.

It was a very familiar voice, the voice of someone who was like my younger sister with whom I lived for about six years.

“The Father says, There will be no darkness in the path you walk.”

Lesia suddenly appeared and struck the lion’s neck.

The lion was annihilated without even being able to scream, and the saintess, who had her eyes closed, was horrified and shed tears as the lion’s severed body pressed down on her body.

“Are you okay, Amelia?”

Lesia removed the corpse of her lion and held out her hand to the saint.

“Huh? Well, you…”

“I am Lesia from the Heavenly God Church.”

Saint Amelia said, “Ah… yes…” And stood up holding Lesia’s hand.

“Hey… Thank you for saving me.”

“It’s no big deal. I came here because I have something to tell you.”

“Wait a moment, Mr. Lesia. There is still more work to be done.”

“I understand. It’s urgent, so please resolve it quickly.”

I stopped Lesia, who was trying to bring up her story, and walked over to her and looked at her carriage.

There was a very friendly person in the carriage, none other than Kuclet Grid, the target of the downfall, who was unconscious.

‘Who is this person here?’

I was suspicious of his suddenly appearing presence, but I remembered that Lesia had said that it was urgent, so I put aside other distracting thoughts and picked him up from the collapsed debris and assessed his condition.

Fortunately, he didn’t have any life-threatening injuries and wasn’t broken anywhere.

“Should I call this lucky?”

After looking at him with pity as he was injured in an accident, I stretched out my hand and used absolute healing.

[Subquest: Target Rescue 2 completed]

[Reward: Lion’s Courage, obtain 200,000 PP]

A pleasant status window indicating that the quest was completed appeared in front of me, and a red cape appeared in the air.

“Ha… I’m really pissed because I feel like I’m the only one getting this.”

After putting my cloak in my bag, I rummaged through the bag, found a few gold coins, and put them in Grid’s pocket.

I couldn’t afford to donate to anyone, but I felt sorry for the poor person in front of me.

It would be dangerous to leave it here, so we should move it to the village.

“Mr. Lesia? Can you come here and listen to this person?”

“I understand.”

Lesia obediently carried the cuclet on her back.

“Could you move that person to the village?”

“Of course. I will spread the word and do it.”

“Okay… So, what are you trying to say?”

“This is Tama’s whole note.”

Tama? I’m doing well at work, but is there a problem?

“He said that God would soon appear from the fiery peak at the top of the volcano. He said he wanted Priest Ivan to come to the peak quickly.”

On the peak, God?

I looked at the peak in the distance, wondering what that meant. And I couldn’t help but be surprised by the strange sight unfolding in the distance.

So… therefore… A giant hand made of lava and flames is crawling out of the volcano’s peak!
