It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 726 Vimir, the Illuminator of Prayer
"Saint...woman?"

Those who hadn't received an answer also found it in their hearts at that moment. They had been so captivated by the Pope of the Temple of War and the past that they had almost forgotten that there was a saintess in their own camp.

"It really is Vimir."

Nasuxia smiled, even though she already knew.

After all, there was no intention to hide it later on. During the time between bringing the warship over and her falling asleep, not saying anything was just a tacit understanding among everyone.

Now it seems.

There's no need to worry about the timing of the announcement.

Everyone trapped on the battlefield suddenly returned to their best condition. Although the physical strain had not actually disappeared, the mental excitement was enough to make up for it, and they fought as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

This is not just because they had the strength to turn defeat into victory.

Rather, they found faith.

This is especially true for people in a theocratic world.

A profound healing experience, dispelling the gloom in my heart.

This made them truly realize that they were the Saintess's army.

"Come on!!"

"I've put up with you guys for far too long!!"

"Charge! Follow me!!"

Shouts echoed across the front lines; they were not cries of desperation, but rather shouts of high morale.

The coalition forces were not the only beneficiaries of this prayer.

When the range of magic reaches this point, it becomes difficult to distinguish one thing from another, indiscriminately healing everything on the battlefield. Elita crawled up from the rubble, looking blankly at her condition.

The temple soldiers who gradually stood up behind them also touched their own bodies in confusion, their bodies, which had been exhausted, were now full of vitality.

"...?"

Some people looked up and saw the dazzling but not blinding blue sun, and the rest of the people also looked up.

"We were healed by...what?"

Elita silently picked up the broken flag from the ground.

She stood at the front, planting the tattered battle flag to her side, and holy light surged from her broken armor.

"There's only one leg left, follow me."

"Yes!!"

Although they didn't understand why, it seemed they had indeed escaped with their lives from there.

……

Under the moonlight, Vimir came to Lialan's side.

Seeing her condition was both gratifying and touching.

Like that weak and helpless child, she finally became her own saint.

“This…it shouldn’t be something he arranged on purpose, right?” Liya Lan asked.

“Huh…huh?”

"No, it's nothing..."

Liya Lan shook her head. After spending so much time with his schemes and tricks, she had become suspicious herself.

"Welcome, Vimir... no, Saint Vimir."

"Hehehe... I'm not used to this yet."

“There’s no need to get used to it,” Lialan said, looking at her. “Since you’ve chosen your own path, just follow your own ideas. You’ve already proven that it works.”

"Yes...really?"

She had actually been accepted by Lia Lan.

Vimiel felt somewhat flattered, even though she didn't think she had done anything remarkable.

"Please tell me what I should do!"

She already knew from the warship that Lillian was the ground commander. Besides letting her know she was safe, she also hoped to get her guidance, as she certainly didn't know as much about the battle as Lillian.

"According to your own..."

Liya Lan paused halfway through her sentence.

Then she slowly closed her eyes.

"Speaking of which, there is indeed something that you need to take on."

"what is it then?"

Liyalan did not answer, but instead conjured a pale blue sphere with a crystalline luster from her hand.

Vimir stared blankly for a moment.

"Eh?"

This...this is...a divine core?

She had just woken up from a slumber of several months and was not yet fully conscious when a divine core was placed in front of her.

"This is?"

"The core of our goddess."

"!!"

Vimiel, who had just begun to show signs of life, froze in disbelief, staring at the beads in Liya Lan's hand and instinctively taking a step back.

"No...no! If we do that, won't the goddess be in trouble?!"

"I know."

Liya Lan remained silent for three seconds.

“I know,” she repeated, a shadow falling over her eyes. “I wouldn’t have done this if there wasn’t a reason. The goddess left this divine core behind; you should understand why, right?”

"..."

"Because our goddess hopes that one day when the saintess inherits her power, she will use it wisely, especially now, at this crucial moment when you need this power."

"..."

this matter.

Vimir certainly knew.

When Shatis first met at the church in the City of No Crown, Shatis hoped that she would become a saint and inherit the goddess's core to become the new goddess of pure water.

But wouldn't that mean the goddess can never come back?

Is that so...?

She seemed to suddenly understand why she wasn't allowed to use a different divine core to become a god.

"So...Love knows about this too?"

“I don’t want to lie to you,” Lialan said, looking at her. “He wants you to make your own choice, but there’s no doubt that you inherited part of the goddess’s power from your innate talent and have come so far in the magical realm of the Church of Prayer.”

"In this world, even the core of a first-level god is not more suitable for you than that of a goddess."

“!” Vimir was more relieved than stunned.

“Of course, you don’t need to make a choice now,” Liyalan showed her. “What I’m showing you is just a sample. The real divine core can’t be taken out so casually.”

“No,” Vimiel smiled and shook her head, “I have already made my choice.”

Liya Lan looked at the saintess in front of her with some surprise.

“My answer then was no, and my answer now is the same,” Vimir said with a smile, closing her eyes. “I will not use the goddess’s core to advance to godhood.”

"I think I can confirm that you're not joking, right?"

"Heh, heh heh..." The girl stuck out her tongue somewhat embarrassedly. "I have always dreamed of becoming a god one day, and growing alongside him, so that I won't hold him back."

Then she took a slow breath.

"However, I still cannot accept exchanging the disappearance of the goddess for this blessing. Even if I use this power, I will always feel uneasy."

In response to this answer, Liya Lan gave her a deep look.

“But what if you lose this war?” she asked. “Once you lose something, there’s no going back.”

“This is wrong—” Vimir said seriously, not jokingly, “Being by his side, I truly understood one thing.”

There is never just one road.

"Compared to the current choices, I have more faith in the path that will ultimately satisfy everyone, because that's what he's been working hard for, hehe... although his definition of 'everyone' sometimes seems a bit narrow."

Liya Lan didn't know how to respond to her for a moment.

“So,” Vimir raised her head and continued, “instead of regretting the failure to be promoted, we should think about whether there was a fundamental problem somewhere else, instead of blaming all the mistakes on the temporary choice. That only shows that we were not prepared to deal with it in the first place, and we are just trying to fix things after the fact.”

"..."

“I feel like,” Liya Lan looked at her with a complicated expression, “you haven’t learned anything else from being with him, but you’ve picked up a whole bunch of fallacies.”

"Hehe... Maybe it's because only he can turn fallacies into reality," Vimir thought to herself, her longing now impossible to conceal. "So, I will definitely find one more suitable for me than the Goddess's core, and do my best not to disappoint him."

Ugh.

He's really taken her far; even the goddess herself probably couldn't pull her back.

But ironically, on this one particular matter, she agreed with and endorsed their ideas.

"I'm sorry, I brought up some rather heavy topics."

"No...no, it's just that Lia Lan suddenly pulled it out, and I was startled (灬ω灬)"

Uh……

Liaran actually apologized... What on earth happened during this time...?

"Are you so sure he'll show up with the means to overturn the entire situation?"

"Ok!"

Vimiel smiled and nodded without hesitation, "I believe it completely!"

Hopeless.

What else can be said? Since they are the child of a goddess and a saint, we can only let them be together.

However, we still need to solve the immediate problems.

Ultimately, these burdens cannot be borne by these children. The battle has progressed to this point, and the hope of turning the tide is much greater than before. The army's condition and morale have reached their peak. If they cannot even break through this obstacle, then all their efforts will have been in vain.

"Give the entire army your orders!"

"Yes!"

"Readjust the canyon formation. If we can't get through on the first try, then we'll try again!"

"no problem!!"

The knight who delivered the order left with high spirits, and even here, one could see how unwavering the will of the legion gathered below the canyon was.

Previously they could be called the combined forces of monarchy and divinity, but now—

They are now the Queen's Holy Maiden Army.

They brought Vimir to the valley below the mountain. The relevant intelligence had already been gathered on the magic warship. The Fifth Princess obviously couldn't let this opportunity pass by, and immediately agreed to approve the execution. Even the Wing of the Sky would cooperate in launching an attack.

As they traveled, the members of the Holy King's Female Army all looked at Vimir with devout eyes.

Because it was no longer hidden, the news had spread throughout the military camp, and the church members and the blue-clad guards looked at her with particularly sincere eyes.

“Ah…Ahahaha…”

She gave a silly laugh, which made the priestess and others from the Yangyan Church burst into laughter.

If I had known she was the saintess in the army, I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble.

But is it also a characteristic of the saintess that she always peeks out from behind Luo Wei and frequently convulses and lies on the ground?
The heroic spirits of the gods surrounding the battle line have been cut down by the knights who have been injected with adrenaline, and now the army of nearly 80,000 people is waiting for her orders in the canyon.

"Please give the order, Your Majesty."

Vimiel seemed to snap out of her daze, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.

what.

Me...me?
Otherwise, what exactly is the purpose of having you come forward...? Ayining covered her head and glanced at the scene from the side. Although it was different from the scene she had imagined, she had finally gotten what she wanted.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Vimier cleared her throat, trying to make her voice sound as stiff as possible.

Should I give a speech at a time like this... Oh no, what should I say?

She stood there blankly, her mind suddenly empty.

Liya Lan smiled with a hint of helplessness, then saw that the army was reacting in the same way, so she didn't need to worry about anything.

Standing to Vimir's side, she, as the supreme commander of the ground forces, issued the order on behalf of the saintess:
"All troops, prepare—!"

rumble.

With two resounding cries, the army turned towards the plains beyond the breach, where the conflict between the gods was raging fiercely.

"Next, we will cross the gates of hell."

"Let's start from this moment—and turn the tide!!"

"Yes!!!"

Amidst resounding cheers and the orderly ranks of the generals and commanders, the Holy Queen's Female Army—

This marked the beginning of the second offensive in the plains.

……

Almost at the same time.

Under the night sky in the center of the plain, a purple slit slowly opened, and Luo Wei, dressed in a long black battle suit and soaked to the bone, appeared there.

"good evening."

He wiped his hair from his forehead, still a little shaken, and looked up at the cardinals gathered in front of a giant egg, speaking leisurely.

Those people completely ignored him.

Then, in the next moment, dark seawater suddenly gushed out from the crevice beside him.
