…You’ve become quite cynical. You seem tired.
“Really? Well, everyone can’t help but be like this in such a situation.”
The duchess, who is now our leader, is the top authority. Even if the Second Prince is alive, the real power lies with the duchess. Who wouldn’t surrender to the savior following the will of the gods in such a hellish situation?
‘I’m grateful for that much…’
The title of a saint was bothersome and unnecessarily heavy, but in extreme situations, it played a good role in uniting the minds of the imperial citizens.
“You’re too cruel. If you’re a disciple of the gods, you should like it more.”
“Being forced into such a situation and liking it makes humans even crazier.”
“Hmm.”
Zero, knowing that I’ve been stressed lately due to high fatigue, didn’t provoke me further.
“…Get some sleep. You might collapse if you keep this up.”
“If my body is tired, I’ll naturally sleep.”
Duchess, who have you been talking to since earlier?
“Oh, Matapju hasn’t seen Zero yet. Zero, reveal yourself. Matapju should know you too.”
“To the magicians opposing those who believe in the gods…”
“Hush, listen. Before I lose my temper.”
“Ah, understood…”
What…?
And so, Matapju learned about Zero’s identity and, moreover, the fact that he, along with me leading, planned to eliminate the rebel of this world named Kirie Warei, even in the divine realm.
Initially skeptical, he eventually accepted it when I pointed out that in a situation where the corpses of dead humans were being controlled by zombies, what couldn’t be believed.
…I see. So, have you found this Kirie Warei?
“We need to find him before all the bombs for bombing the capital are gathered.”
I took another sip of the bitter tea.
With the help of Ashton, the owner of the Whitewood territory, I had been steadily sending people to Rinstead.
Although the desolate ghost city had its fog lifted, a barrier, like the capital, was erected.
“This is not a magical barrier.”
Russ, who went to investigate, returned and said this immediately.
“The symbols of the magic Kirie used were drawn over the barrier.”
The ominous crimson symbols were quite large on top of the barrier, the investigation team reported.
The sorcerer Tyrium spoke to me based on their words.
“It seems like he’s preparing for a final move.”
“Drawing a barrier to protect himself would be appropriate. Kirie also knows. You’re planning to come out and strike him. And… until he fulfills his dangerous wish to destroy the world, he won’t be caught, ready to escape.”
“A crazy guy who messed up the world.”
Zero clicked his tongue. He even swore. It seemed that this little hamster-like follower was under a lot of stress; he didn’t even touch the food. It was surprising.
People like Ashton, Russ, Benedict, and Michael, among others, were making constant efforts in Rinstead to break the magical barrier.
I, too, occasionally joined the group, attempting to break the barrier with my sacred power as a saint.
After the death of the Pope, priests and knights who had nowhere else to go joined in guarding the capital’s barrier bomb. It was a historic moment where magicians and temple priests cooperated without any quarrels.
Tyrium asked me, “How much longer do you think it will take for the barrier to break?”
“Well…”
It won’t be long.
“Tirium probably already expects that it won’t last long.”
Both the capital’s barrier and Rinstead’s barrier cracked like breaking eggs.
The frenzied zombies tried to break the barrier, regardless of their bodies being damaged, and humans, pouring all their strength to capture Kirie, also vigorously struck Rinstead’s barrier.
“It might break around the same time.”
In that case, I decided that if it happened, I would throw bombs into the capital with the help of magicians and the power of the gods, then head to Rinstead with my colleagues.
‘Kirie Warei. I have to be the one to catch that guy.’
Facing the world’s rebel who stole forbidden spells and divine knowledge, I was the only one, a saint chosen by the gods, who could stand against him.
The picture of the ‘protagonist’ chosen for the new story was gradually taking shape, aiming to kill the ‘villain.’
I discreetly looked at the quest window.
[Main Quest Chase the World’s Rebel 1] [Currently in progress] [Please proceed with more haste.]It seemed urgent even in the divine realm. Considering the words added to the quest window that hadn’t appeared until now, it looked like something was happening.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
