Seeing this scene, Portis's eyes looked as if he saw something disgusting, and April also showed a nauseous expression.
"You are truly blasphemous creatures."
"Even breathing the same air as you is disgusting."
After hearing what Portis and the others said, Ned, A Kuang, and the pirates fighting with the knights all sneered and decided to die.
While the pirates were fighting everywhere, Mei also engaged in a fierce confrontation with the Knights.
However, the number of knights surrounding Mei'er was far greater than her companions could match. She alone had to deal with 30% of the division's strength, or nearly 30 knights.
"It's you, after all, but this is already..."
The White Light Knights' division commander, Airem Ockerman, said with a bitter expression.
He was watching pirates who should have been mortally wounded, one after another, climbing to their feet unscathed. This unusual healing magic couldn't possibly be any other magic in existence.
Then that magic must be proof of being a favored of God—innate magic. While Airem speculated it was innate magic, even that wasn't enough to explain such a powerful effect.
The moment he realized this, Alem's expression twisted beyond words. Faced with a reality he absolutely could not accept, his expression was filled with hatred, anger, and madness.
"Impossible, this can't be possible! A mere pirate! A mere heretic can actually wield divine skills! There's no way this could happen!"
The cloudy eyes turned to look at the culprit.
Mei'er was found in a circle with three knights lying dead on the ground. The gentle smile on her face did not look like she was surrounded by knights at all.
“! Obey and accept the purification——『Holy Flame』!!”
The white flames formed a vortex, and the intense heat made the atmosphere crackle. In an instant, hundreds of white flames changed into the shape of long spears and rushed towards Mei'er together.
His inherent magic, "Holy Flame," is the reason why Airem holds the rank of Division Leader, one of only three members of the White Light Knights. Airem possesses an overwhelming aptitude for fire magic, unmatched by others.
The opening rain of fire was created by Alem alone, which shows how powerful his fire magic is.
The White Flame Spear is as easy to use as a beginner's magic, but its power is enough to rival that of advanced magic.
"That's not a good idea."
Mei'er said this leisurely in front of the group of white flame spears, and then deployed a wall of water.
The White Flame Spears slammed into the vast seawater, and the evaporating water instantly created a dense mist. Although several White Flame Spears broke through the wall of water and flew towards Mei'er, Mei'er had already moved away on the current.
By the time the knights realized what was happening, it was too late. One knight used his tower shield to block the incoming water, and at that moment, a saber swung from behind severed his medulla oblongata.
Other knights used wind magic to blow away the thick fog.
At the same time, the knight was swallowed by the seawater that suddenly surged from under his feet. While on the boat, he was swallowed by the seawater, and the knight used his iron boots to jump and try to escape from this situation.
But the sea water entangled him, hindering his movements, and the fierce water flow invaded his body through his nostrils.
“Gufu!?”
Even the Knights Templar, who had undergone rigorous training and could calmly deal with any situation, could not withstand the large amount of sea water pouring into their noses.
When the fog completely dissipated, the bodies of two more knights were found on the ground.
"This is the very center of the ocean. It's my territory. Your flames aren't hot enough."
“You bastard!”
"Two of your subordinates died because of your mistake. Do you have anything to say about this?"
Mei'er smiled sweetly and said something that stung her heart. Her attitude was both arrogant and relaxed. However, she was not so relaxed.
Elem's "Holy Flame" was a menace, and Meir was unable to completely extinguish any of the flames he unleashed. Once the flames landed on the boat, they would spread rapidly. Unless Elem intentionally extinguished the fire, even a small amount of water would not be enough.
It could even be said that unless a massive amount of water was used to wash over the island, it would be engulfed in flames. Therefore, in order to shake Airem's spirit as much as possible, Mei'er used provocative words.
However, the person who appeared here was indeed not an ordinary person.
"It's truly useless to be ambushed by a mere heretic. But this is martyrdom, and I believe that's what they wanted."
"...As expected of the church, they provide a thorough education."
He didn't seem to feel any guilt about the death of his subordinates.
"Of course, our faith is unwavering!"
Alem once again summoned a large amount of white flames.
The moment Mei'er's attention was attracted by Bai Yan, she heard the sound of breaking wind in her ears. She immediately bent her body and saw a flashing arrow passing by the side of her head.
What was surprising was that the arrow turned halfway and flew towards Mei'er again.
"This is the arrow of divine punishment that will surely pierce the heretics. Accept it obediently."
The archer is Leleye Agathon, Captain of the White Light Knights. She possesses the inherent magic "Arrow of Atonement", which will chase down any enemy she targets, no matter where they flee.
Leleye fired two or three tracking arrows, and the knights immediately attacked Mei'er, who was covered in a layer of water gauze.
The knight's sword and arrows stabbed at the figure behind the water wall one after another.
At the same time, the knight in another place was instantly covered in water.
“Gufu——!?”
"Unfortunately, that's my past self there, huh?"
The knights were suddenly startled and looked back, only to see a knight being taken away from his freedom by the water dungeon and stabbed in the throat by a saber from behind.
Mei swung her sword sideways mercilessly, then manipulated the water flow, draining the knight's blood in one swift motion, killing him. The saber left her body, and the next moment, the blade shattered into countless fragments.
However, the fragments did not scatter, but merged into the water whip, becoming a new weapon - the "Water Blade Whip", which was swung towards other knights.
Arrows and white flames attacked Mei'er.
However, Mei showed no sign of dodging, and instead prioritized attacking the knight with her "Water Blade Whip."
The result is--
“Guuuu!”
Mei'er was shot in the chest and the arm that was not holding the saber was burned.
However, the price was that the "Water Blade Whip" successfully cut out the target knight's eyes.
Mei followed, firing a water pistol. The knight, panicked by the excruciating pain, had no way of avoiding the flashing water. The water pistol penetrated the gap in the armor, bursting inside the knight's body and ravaging his internal organs.
Mei'er didn't even look at the fallen knight. She endured the severe pain and rode the water to dodge the attacks directed at her. At the same time, she fired a fierce stream of water at Airem and the other knights like a water gun.
Then, while they were on the defensive, Mei'er had recovered completely and slashed at Lelaye with her sword. The saber also returned to its original state as if nothing had happened.
"Why! Why! You have been blessed with such a powerful mystical power, why would you betray your faith? You clearly have the qualifications to become a follower of God!"
Although Leleye was an archer, he displayed amazing skills, using his bow and arrow to block Mei'er's violent attacks, while saying this with resentment.
Mei'er used her saber to block the opponent's weapon while laughing and mocking:
"Because I don't want to be like you."
“You bastard!”
Lelaye, overcome with emotion, changed the angle of his bow, aiming it to block the saber, and fired an arrow from close range. Mei ducked, but the arrow quickly turned and flew back.
Mei'er seemed to have anticipated this, as she engulfed an approaching knight with her current, placing the knight between herself and the arrow's path.
"Your arrow will surely hit its target. Can your proud armor block it?"
The answer came quickly. The arrow lodged in the knight's armor, its force slowing, but it didn't stop. It pierced the knight with all its might and flew towards Mei'er.
Mei'er parried Lelaye's bow while dodging sideways. The arrow grazed Mei'er, passing through empty air, but still retaining momentum, it advanced towards Lelaye.
"——!"
Lelaye gasped, but reacted quickly enough to grab the arrow and put it directly on the bow.
However, before the arrow could be shot, Mei'er's hand had already touched Lelaye's wrist.
“—‘Bad Moment’.”
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Lelayer was covered in blood. This was one of Mei's special moves, which allowed her to recreate the opponent's past injuries.
So, she wanted to see how effective this trick would be against the church's elite. So, it seems she'd received more injuries from rigorous training than from combat, so it seemed to be quite effective.
Lelaye fell to her knees, and Meir turned the saber and slashed at her neck.
At that moment.
“—Soul Charge.”
Ignoring any obstacles, an impact that seemed to strike directly at the soul came down from the sky.
"ah!?"
Mei'er let out a heart-wrenching cry, shaking her body... no, the impact shook the depths of her consciousness, causing Mei'er to almost lose consciousness... In an instant, Mei'er bit her lip and regained consciousness through the severe pain.
She immediately cast a regeneration spell on herself and jumped back with all her strength without thinking twice.
This almost instinctive evasive action saved Mei'er's life.
What followed was a huge noise and impact.
The ship, which had been separated from the island in silence and became a battlefield, now let out a mournful cry under the violent vibrations.
There was only one reason. A man dropped from the airship like a meteorite, striking with a staff that was taller than his height.
The dark gray cylinder was about a meter in diameter, with a handle roughly the thickness of a child's upper arm. The man, following the momentum of the fall, struck the ship with that incredibly heavy weapon, a weapon hardly wielded by a human.
There was only one outcome: the ship's center served as a fulcrum, the bow and stern tilted up, breaking and bending in the middle.
With just one blow from the staff, the ship was broken in two.
"Captain!" "Lord Royce!"
Lelaye and Airem shouted from the gradually tilting boat.
"I can't afford to lose any more members. I'll be your opponent."
Ross lightly waved his staff. A roar of wind suddenly echoed around him, and a shockwave exploded.
Because Airem and others suggested that there was no need for the strongest man of the White Light Knights to take action to defeat a few pirates, this man had been looking down at the battle from the sky. He was the leader of the White Light Knights, Ross Byrne.
Although Airem and the others still insisted, "We can deal with just a few heretics!", a single look from Ross silenced them.
Then, Ross turned his gaze to Mei'er, who was still smiling at this time.
"A God-level healing spell, huh?... And you possess incredible magical talent. You're simultaneously handling captain-level members, continuously healing your comrades, and even casting a barrier around non-combatant ships..."
Ross's serious expression became even more serious, and his tone contained a hint of admiration for Mei'er.
In fact, Mei'er used the water flowing throughout the island as a medium to continuously regenerate her injured companions, and even cast a barrier on all ships carrying non-combatants.
Some combatants were killed in one blow, so the damage was not zero, but all non-combatants were safe and sound.
While they couldn't set sail, the knights had no time to attack non-combatants, facing the pirates who would resurrect endlessly as long as they survived. Mei'er was essentially the sole bearer of the battle, a feat unparalleled in its ability.
"Oh my, my, I'm so honored that the renowned Captain of the White Light Knights actually praised me."
"You don't think that at all."
"Hehe, Captain, thank you for your compliment, but could you please withdraw your troops for now? After all, if you take action, I'll be forced to take it seriously. Do you understand what I mean?"
This means that the Knights will suffer greater damage.
In fact, the number of fallen knights is almost reaching double digits.
For the White Light Knights, this was a loss unprecedented in decades. They had assumed it was just an ordinary group of heretics, but they hadn't anticipated that in addition to the two users of Intrinsic Magic, there was also a user of Age of God Magic. This was a major miscalculation.
Temporary retreat... This is also an option worth considering.
However, regarding Mei'er's proposal—
"The option of retreat is not even on the table."
“…Why?”
There was a slight shadow on Mei'er's smile.
Royce replied expressionlessly:
"This level of difficulty isn't considered adversity. If it weren't, I'd have no reason to retreat. The possibility of achieving our mission is still very high. You want to be serious? Why not? Go ahead and fight with all your might!!"
The angry voice shook the air.
Mei'er narrowed her eyes.
