16 The first love in a sad memory, met in crisis.

“There's an intruder! ”

A paladin comes running to me with a bunch of venereal disease. I jumped into the building next door and looked everywhere. There is no escape. It looks like a shrine to a saint. The entrance is one of the entrances, and the rest is blocked by white walls and stained glass.

“Damn it, Hall. ”

I flew into the air on an unnamed Saint's tomb. The paladin who just caught up with me swung his sword as hard as he could, but he couldn't help me. I had already broken the stained glass and was on my way out.

Once I landed safely on the ground, I went back over the wall to the entrance square.

“Seize it!”

There are paladins and lepers everywhere. The knights in black armor also appear to have joined the pursuit of the Church of Darkness paladins.

I bet you had a hard time guarding last night.You 've been through a lot.

“They're going to sleep all night, why are they crawling out of there? ”

I shook my head and entered the spire of grace in the center of the square and climbed the spiraling staircase to the top.

In place of Divinum, the circular tower was high enough to make the entire garrison look like a swarm of black ants. I think I can keep a lot of paladins and leprosy here for a while.

I took a moment's rest and waited, then knocked down the paladin following me the first time and took another sword.

Following you, the pursuers shout at me, standing on the ledge of the window at the top of the spire.

“Halt!”

“I'm sick of it. ”

I flew under the steeple. Then, I put my sword in the wall and went down gradually.

The paladin looks out his window and is surprised. I saw Aura Blade on my sword.

“Intruders are Master Swordsmen! Be careful!"

A long way down, I looked at the pursuers herded into the square. The whitewash is clearly visible. I jumped right off the paladin's back, rolled up the floor, and jumped up and down, bouncing like a hedgehog and over the edge of the infected soldiers' spears.

The bewildered horde of pursuers stares at my back, fleeing far away.

“What, there's all those guys? ”

“That was fast. ”

In the meantime, I continue along the central highway to the Sacred Hall. I had to travel for a long time with an endless army of defenses, but the distance to the Sacred Hall continued to narrow.

Dozens of soldiers stood in the way again. I swooped over the nearby wall and entered the Library of Grace. Then he climbs to the third floor, jumps over the roof of the Sinful Archives next to him and sits on the other side.

“Where the hell did he go? ”

The pursuers swooped and fled. I flashed and disappeared in the east, because I couldn't help but notice how to catch up. Then I lost the bulk of the pursuers again, and I was able to get close to the sacred battlefield.

What do I do with this? The entrance to the Shrine Hall must be guarded by Ser Burg now. ’

Now Berg is a paladin on the verge of a superior master swordsman. I have some outstanding swordsmanship skills. I am courted by many countries, but I am an outsider in the order of the Church of Light with a strong faith of light.

But the problem is that he is now guarding the hallowed hall. Of course, I could get wet enough, but I didn't feel burdened because there would be other paladins and sexually transmitted diseases around. Obviously, a considerable classic was expected.

“Halt!”

The St. Soldiers who were blocking the entrance to the Holy Hall pointed their spears at me. I immediately lowered the center of my body, sliding under them and jumped right over the heads of sexually transmitted diseases as I lowered the tip of my window.

The paladins who were guarding my back rushed towards me in unison. I moved to Zigzag and dodged their attack.

Boom, boom!

As I make my way through the barrier of the seal, a bundle of light spills down right in front of me. It's a first-cycle sacred magic. But it was pouring down endlessly without casting. That meant the priest who attacked me was a master of the five or more cycles.

I stepped back to avoid the blast radius and looked at a high-elf woman who was firing a sextant at me right on the roof of a nearby building.

“Stop!”

A long-haired female elf yells at me. I was able to run far enough away, but I stopped moving and looked at the elven woman with trembling eyes.

A gorgeous and delicate body made from Elven accessories. Deep blue eyes glowing like snow white skin and sapphires. From the slim chin line to the clever nose blade, the necklace was a beautiful curve like a piece of art, and the thin neckline looked so fragile that it wanted to wrap around the sharp waistline.

Beautiful. But what I noticed was not the appearance of that Elf woman. She was the first love I ever had in my life.

Princess Ignes? ’

The first place I met Ignes was at Fort Sweden.

At that time, I was fighting witches with all my might in the crumbling fortress of Sweden, what I had eaten wrong last night. Normally, I should have run away a long time ago, but that day I got feverish and did something completely different.

He had a big cut on his lower back. One shoulder is shattered and rattled, and most of the 5,000 soldiers in charge are dead. Here, me and my men were surrounded in an alleyway, surrounded by magical objects, and the energy of death was all around.

It was a situation I could never live in. Nowhere was there a retreat, and I was badly injured and unable to keep myself in check. So I instinctively rushed towards the witches with only a few men left. It was the last suicide attack.

But by the time I got tired of falling down and gave up my life, a miracle happened to me. A bright light came from afar and turned all the magic surrounding me into a handful of dust.

Then I heard a woman's voice.

‘Good work. Fort Sweden was safe thanks to you. We'll take care of Fort Sweden now, so step back and rest. ’

She was the second captain of the expedition and the princess of the Lumen Kingdom, the High Elf Kingdom. And he was my first love and savior of my life, who came around 30 years ago.

Of course, there was no reunion between me and Princess Ignes since, but her appearance that day remained a desperate memory in my brain until I was reborn.

‘Why is Princess Ignes here? Oh, right. She's also participating in this year's sacred hall ceremony. ’

Just like Princess Ignes, my fiancée, Princess Sierra, I am given the choice of the 7th century. To Shaia, the Lord of Light.

Ignes jumps in front of me. She always did. Ignes has always been gracious to the helpless, but resisted the tyrannical will of the wicked.

“You, of all people, are doing this instead of Divinum? ”

The sharp gaze of Princess Ignes pierces into me.

I couldn't take my feet off the paladin, even though I was surrounded by paladins and lepers. I can't leave Ignes here.

“Yi, Princess Ignes · · · · · · · · ·? ”

Stranger As I recognize myself, Ignes stops.

“Do you know me? ”

“I know. That too very well. ”

I immediately hugged Ignes' wiggling waist. The first feeling of love I had ever felt was too fragile and weak.

Ignes suddenly resists my actions. Not long after, however, the sheep calmed down like a gentle lamb. It's because the sword in my hand was aiming for her neck.

I took Ignes hostage and yelled at everyone.

“Don't move! Move or she dies! ”

The pity of your first love? That's ridiculous. I can sacrifice my first love if I want to find her. Now that I have the Princess of Lumen, no one can touch me.

“Great, Grand Duke? ”

Earl Meier arrived on the scene just in time. He didn't think it was easy to get close when I was holding him hostage.

I present the fearsome Ignes to the Earl.

“Earl, do you know this woman? Princess Ignes of Lumen. If this woman dies in my hands, the Yosrahim Empire and the Grand Duke of Karl will be beaten to a pulp. Hehehe.”

Earl Meier was puzzled and stiffened.

Princess Ignes is the next queen successor to the Lumen Kingdom. If I kill her here, the Lumen and Yosrahim empires will cross a river of conflict that will never cross again. This means that the forces of light divide.

A man with a white-faced High Elf paladin intercepts Earl Meier.

“Never provoke a hostage. If your recklessness kills the princess, you will pay for it. ”

Earl Meier waves urgently, convinced that she is Princess Ignes.

“Grand Duke, don't play with me. ”

“Huh. Do I look like I'm joking?" ”

As I move my sword, a small stream of blood trickles down Princess Ignes' throat. It wasn't a big wound, but it was enough to threaten Earl Meier.

“Stand back, all of you! ”

Earl Meier's orders put everyone behind him.

Soon the road opened and as I began to move, Ignes spoke in a small, trembling voice.

“You · · · · · · · · ·. You'll never be forgiven. ”

“Don't talk nonsense and just follow me. I'll give you the good news in return for being a hostage. ”

“Don't be ridiculous. Do you think I believe the words of a wicked man like you? ”

“You're going to be a saint. ”

Ignes' eyes widen. The title of the Great Lady was not given to anyone immediately after the ascension of the Seven Saints to heaven, because the Seven Wonders had never made man their master.

“Don't try to fool me. The 7th of July has never made anyone its owner. ”

Of course, so far. But not from now on.

Soon, all the seventh century will appear in the world. Three before this year, two this year and two next year.

In my opinion, it seemed to be God's consideration to cast a final action on humanity who was about to be destroyed. Otherwise, none of this would have happened.

However, the seventh century, which was active in the age of destruction, was only four. I don't know what caused it, but the other three leave the owner's hand before returning to the Sacred Hall.

“I've already come out three times. No, if you looked into the hidden history, there would be more. Valkyries can be masters of the 7th century at any time, provided their attributes are correct. ”

Ignes opens her eyes. Today, three of the 7th century emerged in the world, and few know that the Valkyries can be masters of the 7th century at any time.

“All of you? How did you know that? ”

I've heard that.It's a secret few know now, but it's common sense for anyone to know when it comes to the Age of Doom.

“Oh, did you know that? Oh, well, the Valkyries are friendly with the Elves. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Anyway, just follow me. Nothing bad's gonna happen. ”

Ignes followed me gently. It was still unbelievable, but there was still no way to erase it. The Lord of the 7th century was a sacred and glorious place for any believer.
