An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

The reason why Dilan and Katie can perform the movements of masters, vomit blood for no reason, and have abnormally high body temperatures is because the combat techniques of ancient super warriors have been forced into their bodies.

"This is the information I extracted from the people in the facility, using the sound of hypergravity crushing their bones as background music. I heard it from their own mouths, so it can't be wrong."

"Why is that so...then Dilan and Katie..."

Oscar's face showed a look of despair, but he heard angry and trembling words in his ears.

“My… my divine relic… my ‘Eye of God’…! Ah, how dare you do such a thing! Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!”

Bishop Fornes scratched his head frantically.

——Artifact God's Eye

The power of this artifact is just as described by Meredi. It was discovered by chance in the secret room on the 65th floor.

Upon receiving the report, Bishop Fornes immediately devised a plan to create a legion of ancient super-soldiers—the "Divine Weapon Creation Project." Since the large tunnel was ideal for secret research, and his current staff couldn't remove the altar intact, he expanded the secret chamber into this vast space and built research facilities.

"All this is for Master Esid! In order to serve God, I will enter the main altar by creating the strongest army of God! I will ascend to the throne of Archbishop... No, ascend to the throne of the Pope! Ahhhhhhh!"

Is that what Dylan and Katie sacrificed themselves for?

A dark feeling eroded Oscar's heart, as if he could see the black flame of anger burning within him.

It was Oscar who was about to go crazy. His rationality was about to break down. He held up the black umbrella, intending to let this vicious emotion run wild.

"Don't cross that line, Ao."

"Mirai, Di..."

At some point, Meredith floated lightly beside him and placed her hand on Oscar's hand that was holding the black umbrella.

Oscar felt incredibly calm and his normal thinking ability was restored.

Bishop Fornes glared at the two of them and shouted:

"Oscar! Kill that woman! Have you forgotten? The life of your precious test subject is in my hands!"

As soon as Bishop Fornes finished speaking, he immediately ordered Dilran and Katie to put their weapons against his necks, which meant that he could make them commit suicide with just one word.

Oscar gritted his teeth.

However, he is no longer fighting alone now.

Meredith looked into Oscar's eyes with a transparent, almost uncanny seriousness.

"Oh, you won't protect anything by giving in to them."

As soon as she finished speaking, Meredith snapped her fingers.

In an instant, Dilan and Katie's weapons were plunged into the ground.

Seeing them desperately trying to pull out their weapons in order to continue carrying out their orders, it was clear that the weapons were not stuck in the ground intentionally.

It was as if they could not bear the weight of the weapons, and Bishop Fornes was speechless.

"You two should get some sleep."

Meredith spoke softly, and Dilan and Katie's bodies immediately floated up and flew to Meredith's side. Although they tried to break away, they were unable to do so because they were in the air. Finally, they were stunned by the electric shock in Meredith's hand and slowly placed on the ground.

At the same time, Colleen's body also flew over, she let out a lovely cry, and landed next to Oscar.

Colleen seemed confused about the situation, but as soon as she saw Oscar, she immediately hugged him with tears in her eyes.

"...They weren't born to face this kind of thing."

"Meridi?"

Meredith gently caressed the unconscious Dilan and Katie.

"Oh, just heal yourself. Your injuries are serious. I'll take care of those guys. Okay?"

After finishing speaking, Meredith looked towards Bishop Fornes and the Knights Templar.

"I've already got the artifact. The children who were kidnapped in the facility have been rescued. The people who were indoctrinated were knocked unconscious and tied up, but they've also been taken out. If it's Ao, he should be able to unleash the full power of the artifact and restore all the victims to their original state. You religious fanatics, do you understand what I mean?"

Mireidi's eyes were emotionless and her tone was cold and ruthless, which made people wonder if she was the same person now as before.

The Knights Templar began to chant together, while Bishop Fornes held the crystal hanging around his neck and stared at Meredith with an indescribable terrifying look, as if he wanted to say something.

But before that, Meredith declared:

"Miledi Lessen declares—General."

Boom! Blue magic gushed out, and the magic drew a spiral, perfectly expelling the darkness in the space.

Meredith's golden ponytail fluttered, and she floated up as if it were natural, ignoring gravity. Her beautiful blue eyes shone brightly as she looked down at the people below.

A black rotating sphere appeared on her gently opened hands. The sphere was like a satellite guarding the mother planet, circling around Meredith.

The overwhelming magical power surpasses even Oscar and is beyond the reach of human capabilities.

Everyone was speechless, and it was as if time had stopped.

If I had to use one sentence to describe her now.

That is - sacred to the point of violence.

This is the common understanding of everyone present.

The first person to come to his senses was Bishop Fornes.

"W-What are you doing! Knock that woman down!"

The Temple Knights regained their composure and cast spells together.

Oscar couldn't help but want to warn her...

“W-What is that!?”

"The magic disappeared!?"

All magic, before reaching Meredith, was sucked into the black satellites that spun around her and disappeared.

——Gravity magic 『Absolute Disaster』.

It was a black star of disaster, ignoring attributes and regardless of whether or not it was a full-throttle "Sky Soaring Flash," it could absorb everything. It was a super-gravity celestial barrier.

Bishop Fornes said, "As long as I can take away her consciousness!", holding up the necklace crystal. He probably intended to use dark magic to interfere with Meredith's consciousness.

The Knights Templar also began chanting again to coordinate with the offensive.

"Too slow—"

Suddenly, countless small black spheres appeared and flew over the heads of Bishop Fornes and the Knights of the Temple.

The next moment, everyone was pinned to the ground.

They didn't even have time to scream, as they fell into the small pit, motionless, with only faint groans of pain being heard.

"Ahem! You, you bastard, what did you do!?"

Bishop Fornes shouted loudly with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Meredi did not answer his question, but looked at several Temple Knights who were trying to stand up. It seemed that they had been given multiple reinforcements.

Meredith raised her hand silently.

“Guaaaaaa!”

“Ooooohhhh!”

The Temple Knight was trying to stand up using his sword as a crutch, but he suddenly fell to his knees and cried out in pain.

"Something's pressing on me—"

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang, and the pit widened even further. Finally, all the Temple Knights lay prone on the ground, without exception.

They no longer had the energy to even chant.

"Damn heretic! My faith will not yield to you!"

Though grimy, the bishop's vestments appeared to be of first-rate quality. The faint glow they emitted was likely evidence of some form of defense, or perhaps a spell capable of inhibiting magic. The vestments protected Bishop Fornes, barely holding back the overwhelming weight.

"The heavens belong to our God! The heavens collapse and the earth splits! — 'Rockfall'!"

Without abundant magical power, how could one become a bishop? As if to prove this, Bishop Fornes cast a high-level earth-attribute spell.

This magic is a powerful move that can destroy the ground over a wide area and use the rubble as projectiles.

Nearly a hundred rocks of all sizes flew towards Meredi.

"Miledi!"

Oscar yelled. He thought Meredith would be caught in the massive physical attack, but—

"Hmm, pure mass attack is useless..."

Bishop Fornes' tone was filled with trepidation.

Oscar felt the same way as him.

After all, all the rocks sent out by Bishop Fornes stopped in front of Meredith, but did not fall, and even circled around her.

“What a joke! Besides monsters that can mass-produce divine artifacts, there are actually other monsters! They’re clearly heretics! Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!”

Bishop Fornes was like a madman, cursing and swearing.

Meredith didn't say anything to him, but just slowly raised one hand.

At the same time, the satellites stopped instantly and aligned neatly as Meredith waved his hand.

It was like a guillotine formed by a cluster of rocks, capable of surely taking a person's life with one drop. The only difference was the difference between beheading and crushing.

Seeing the scene full of despair and otherworldly, which looked like a place of execution, Bishop Fornes expressed his doubts in confusion.

“…I remember now, Lesin…Miledi Lesin, from the Empire’s executioner clan. You are the next head of the Lesin household! You and your entire clan should have perished years ago. Why—”

"Stop talking nonsense. I told you I'm already a checkmate."

Before he could finish his words, Bishop Fornes was swallowed up by a meteor-like mass of rocks.

Huge noises continued one after another, the space was shaken, and the tunnel seemed to be about to collapse.

Oscar seemed to be surrounded by a circular supergravity field, so he wasn't affected by any impact, and the debris couldn't hit him. However, because he was so shocked, he couldn't help but activate the Black Umbrella's "Holy Death".

On one hand, he protected Colleen, who was so frightened that her legs went limp, and on the other hand, he guarded Dilran and Katie who were sleeping.

The sound of falling rocks finally stopped, and the dust that obscured the vision dissipated.

Then, she slowly descended from the sky as if taking a walk.

"Huh~ ...

A cheerful and familiar voice said so.

The expressionless face just now seemed fake, and Meredith showed the innocent smile she had when they first met.

Seeing Meredith humming a song with a smug expression, Oscar smiled awkwardly, but that was not the fake smile that was his way of dealing with people.

"You...are really messing around."

Oscar said so.

The battle was over, and in the ruins, Mireidi waited for Oscar's injuries to heal.

"But then again, holding an umbrella and having healing light descend from within is a fascinating artifact. I didn't expect to get caught in the rain even though I was holding it open. Ao, are you expecting me to complain?"

"That's because the ribs are best suited for using ores with healing magic. I definitely don't want to be criticized."

It was the light-attribute superior recovery magic, 'Holy Light,' a shower of healing light, pouring down on Oscar from the umbrella's inner frame. So that's how it was. It really was like being caught in the rain while holding an umbrella.

Oscar seemed to have recovered a lot, his complexion was much better, and he looked away a little embarrassedly. Needless to say, Colleen chuckled at this.

"Miledi, when did you enter the facility? No, I should say, where did you enter from?"

Oscar asked in an attempt to change the subject.

Meredy put away her smile, shrugged and replied:

"While Ao was fighting, I broke through from the 66th floor to the upper floors and entered the facility from the other side. The kidnapped children also went down to the lower floors first, then took a detour to the direct staircase Ao had built. By now, my companions should have brought them to the surface."

"To get through the upper level... I guess that all-consuming black sphere is the way to go..."

"Correct answer~"

"Since you know my direct staircase, does that mean you followed me?"

"Well... I wanted to say goodbye to the kids one last time before leaving, but when I got to the orphanage, I noticed something wasn't right with Maureen. After asking around, I realized something was amiss, and I thought, 'I have to catch up with Ao!' So I contacted my friends and asked them to protect the orphanage while I rushed to Ao's house. But then I saw Ao, carrying an umbrella even though it wasn't raining, and running away with an incredible leaping ability."
