Raising the Saint of the Evil God in the Novel

20 – Chapter 20

“…Something is strange.”

I felt that the thread that always connected Ea and Illyana had been severed.

I’ve had this happen once before.

When Ea was freed from her brainwashing.

What’s more, the thread hasn’t been reconnected for a while.

…This seems to be a bit serious.

I don’t think I should let Illyana sleep like this.

[Stand up.]

“Ummm…”

I tried to get her up by talking to her, but she couldn’t get up, probably because she was tired from playing in the valley today.

I had so much fun that I skipped prayers, so I’m tired.

Tentacles tearing through space shook Illyana.

Then Illyana responded.

Until now, I had to use Illyana’s power to talk to her, so I was careful as much as possible, but now is not the time to worry about that.

“Ummm… Um… Uh, uh huh?”

[Are you awake?]

“Sir, sorry! You fell asleep too deeply…”

[Be more careful than that. There is a sign that something will happen tonight.]

“Yes, yes!”

It’s worth asking what’s going on, but it seems like there’s no time to think about it now that I’ve just woken up and lost my mind.

Well, this one is better.

Perhaps Ea’s brainwashing isn’t resolved, but if she says out of excitement that Ea betrayed her, she doesn’t know how to deal with it.

…But looking at it now, something is strange in this room.

Until now, I wasn’t aware of it and didn’t pay attention to it.

“…What?”

-Clap clap clap

Illyana tried to turn her doorknob to leave her room, but her doorknob wouldn’t turn.

From noble mtl dot com

A door that locks from the outside.

A room with no windows.

…Why didn’t I notice this until now.

This, she must think about after committing.

[Get out of the way.]

As soon as Illyana walked away from her door at my words, she slammed her door with her tentacles.

– Bang!

The door leaves with a loud sound.

Then, the tentacle that hit her door burns black and disappears.

Just like the tentacles that Angela used and got hit by her powers.

“Uh, huh?”

Illyana is expressing her doubts as if surprised, but there is no time for that.

A room like a prison, plus a door with the protection of a heavenly god.

[Get out of here right now.]

“Yes, yes!”

Illyana doesn’t seem to have grasped the situation yet, but she follows my orders and starts running down her hallway.

But the run soon stopped.

“…Yeah, but I don’t know the way out…”

I’d be lying if I said I expected it, but in the current situation, it doesn’t matter that much.

Come to think of it, you never know what awaits you down the road, so it would be better to create a variable you can’t even think of.

[Take care of yourself.]

After twisting several tentacles into one giant tentacle, he hit the mansion’s wall hard.

-Kwaaang!

After waiting for the dust to settle after blocking the flying debris with tentacles, Illiana sees an open wall in front of her.

Beyond the broken wall, you can see the far-off precipice of the mansion’s walls.

[Stay still.]

“What, huh?”

As carefully as I could, I grabbed Illyana with my tentacles, extended her tentacles, and set Illyana down on the ground.

Then, all sorts of sounds that had not been heard until just now begin to rush in in an instant.

“Get ready! 3Rd Division!”

“2Nd division, fix the formation!”

“A call from the search team! They say the current movement has been captured!”

…I wonder if the soundproof barrier is reversed.

[Hide in the grass and get out of the mansion.]

After hiding Illyana and looking around her, the situation appears much more serious than expected.

About 100 soldiers and about 30 people dressed like irregular soldiers.

The fortunate thing is that there are no priests of the Church of the Sun, perhaps the heavenly god kept his promise.

If it’s a small number like last time, it can be easily crushed, but if there are so many, I might not be able to protect Illyana.

…Is there really only one way?

[My servant, take up your arms.]

“Yes, yes!”

Illyana must have noticed her strange atmosphere somewhere, so she tensed up and turned her ring from her finger into her mace and held it in her hand.

The lowered voice is a bonus.

How many times did he hide in the grass? The noisy surroundings became quiet at some point.

He must have noticed that Illyana had disappeared.

And then, in my field of vision, I see two people walking with their voices muted.

I couldn’t see it from Illyana’s field of view, but her field of view is 3rd person.

And if Illyana can’t see them, they can’t see her Illyana either.

But she will almost always take you if you come close.

[My servant, heretics are coming.]

“…”

Silently squatting, Illyana made only the sound of swallowing her saliva without answering.

After falling from the 3rd floor, they haven’t been able to find Illyana since they’ve moved quite a bit, but if they make a sound, everyone will immediately gather here.

It should be dealt with in one go, with as little noise as possible.

She moved the two tentacles she had pulled out in advance as if she were releasing her hands,

Now.

“Evil!”

“Ugh!”

Due to the tentacles that pierced their hearts in an instant, the two stopped breathing with a agony.

“Hey!”

By the way, what is this voice?

Looking in the direction where the voice came from, I saw a fallen soldier on one side of the screen.

It wasn’t two, but three!

That’s a mistake. It’s a waste.

It will be too late to move the tentacle again now.

I watched the soldier’s mouth open so helplessly,

In the end, a loud cry…

“Hot!”

-Peruk

There was no echo.

Illyana jumped out in an instant and blew off the soldier’s head with her mace.

The soldier, who had been completely blown away from his head to his chest, lay his body on his back.

[…Well done.]

“Persimmon, thank you…”

I was worried about whether it was okay to praise the killing, but first of all, if you did well, you did well.

And killing people in order to survive in this world is common, so I didn’t mean to say that killing was unconditionally bad and something I shouldn’t do.

You have to do it at the moment you have to do it like now.

Even so, being uncomfortable is inevitable.

I was so surprised that I left her trembling Illyana and moved her tentacles to push her corpses into the grass to hide them.

“Can you tell me what is going on…?”

Yes, it is confusing.

In the first place, Illyana didn’t even know that she brainwashed Ea.

Where should I start explaining?

How the hell can I explain that Illyana can minimize the damage she receives from her?

The conclusion reached at the end of such troubles was, in the end, ‘delay’.

[I can’t tell you right now. But don’t be afraid I will protect you.]

At my words, Illyana gave a small nod of her head, then crouched down again and made her way through the grass.

.

.

.

Although she seems to have been moving for quite some time, she shows no signs of leaving her mansion, either because she moved in a crouched position or because the mansion is ridiculously large.

As she watched Illyana crawling away, wary of her surroundings, she suddenly heard a sound that would tear her ears.

-Beep

A sound reminiscent of a buzzer.

That sound resonated from the seat where her Iliana was.

“Ugh…”

Illiana sits down and covers her ears, as if her ears hurt from that sharp sound.

[Get up and run. Right now.]

But this is not the time to be like that.

The current sound must have been some kind of device to confirm the location.

That means her Illyana’s location has been discovered.

As I pulled out a few more of her tentacles and kept a watchful eye on her projectiles, Illyana followed my words and started running with her ears covered.

“Ugh…”

Then, something from her flew towards Illyana, who was running while enduring the pain caused by her sound.

-PAK

I manage to pull out her tentacles and twist her trajectory, and the object slams right in front of Illyana.

The identity of what flew like that was a ballista bullet that was bigger than Illyana.

The moment Illyana tried to run past it, a red light and an ominous sound leaked through the joints of the ballista bullet.

-Keyiing

As soon as I hurriedly pulled out as many tentacles as possible and surrounded Illyana in several layers, the sound that had been gradually increasing gradually faded away as if it had reached a critical point.

Then,

-Kwaaang!

With a huge explosion, the ballista bullet and its surroundings were blown away.

As if the destructive power wasn’t made only with physical force, some of the tentacles on the outside of Illyana’s tentacles were burning black.

Seeing that, I made a decision.

[…Hiding is the end. Show them my greatness, my anger.]

If you just block attacks with your tentacles here, the tentacles will break through someday.

And even if it gets farther away, those bullets will continue to fly towards Illyana.

In that case, it would be better to go into the midst of the enemies and seal the shot.

I don’t know the current situation properly, but at least I won’t blow away my allies.
