An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

"In stories about defeating monsters, attacking them in the belly is the most common way, right?"

"Did you ask Xiao Mi to let it eat it? Sister Mei is so cruel!"

It was clearly an extremely critical situation, but the two of them seemed to be joking.

Why is this?

Because even without any basis, they both believed in each other—

——It’s okay because this person is by my side.

——It’s okay because the child is with me.

There is a bond between them that cannot be described in words, a bond like that between sisters.

Mei'er showed a carefree expression that was out of place in the situation, and said in a charming tone:

"But, Mi-chan, if we don't break through that layer of metal scales and directly damage the flesh... then there's no chance of recovery, you know?"

"I know. Woohoo, if that's the case, I'll just have to take a gamble and rush into its mouth... Hmm? Mei'er, what did you say?"

"Airport? Are you talking about Xiao Mi's breasts?"

"Stop making so much noise! ​​I'm slowly growing up! Oh, no! You didn't even say the word 'airport'!"

"Oops, sorry, I made a mistake. Is this a connecting flight?"

"No, it's further ahead!"

"Breaking through the metal scales?"

"Yes! That's it! Ahhh, come on! Why didn't I think of such a simple thing before!"

Beyond the barrier lay a sea of ​​fire, and the two were surrounded by a waterspout, with lightning constantly falling from above. Mel looked at Meredith with pity, thinking she had finally broken down.

"Why are you looking at me like that, you idiot Mei-nee! Have you forgotten? We have a metal expert!"

"……oops."

Mei blinked, as if she had also thought of it. She had never seen a monster covered in metal armor before, so she couldn't immediately make the connection.

"Hehehe, just wait and see, Divine Beast! Xiaomi's counterattack is about to begin."

"Your annoying expression is really great, Mi-chan! You're so cute!"

"That's for sure, right? Hmm?"

Although Mireidi felt something was wrong about Mel's praise, she still told Mel about the plan.

"Let's get started, Sister Mei."

Meredith smiled triumphantly.

"Okay, Xiaomi."

Mei'er responded with a smug smile.

Then, the fire breath stopped, Meredith flew into the sky, and Mei'er jumped into the sea.

Meredith soared into the sky at the speed of a free fall, simultaneously creating the strongest Absolute Disaster she could yet muster. As the heavenly thunder concentrated its attack on her, Meredith used Absolute Disaster to absorb it, devouring it entirely.

The divine beast spit out jets of water, which were like lasers and shot continuously, slicing through Milady's body.

Meredi had no energy to defend or evade, and everything depended on this "absolute disaster".

Finally, several streams of water hit Meredith, piercing her shoulders, sides and thighs, and blood sprayed into the windy and rainy sky.

"I won't give up~~!"

Meredith screamed to suppress the excruciating pain that threatened to take away her consciousness, and desperately climbed towards the sky.

Then she flew directly into the thundercloud.

“Aaaaaaaaaa!!”

The thunderclouds were a hellish experience. Meredith was assaulted by myriad thunderbolts, desperately consuming them with her Absolute Disaster. The raindrops that pelted her were freezing cold, and the combined force of the violent wind sapped Meredith's strength in an instant. Her blood flowed rapidly, and her vitality steadily drained away.

But even so, Meredith still did not lower her hands raised above her head.

Because it was a trump card to save the people who needed to be saved, even if "Absolute Disaster" emitted lightning and expanded as if it would burst at any time, Meredith would never let go.

“Mmm, Mmmmmmm~~!”

The "Absolute Disaster" that Meredi used this time far exceeded the limits of his previous control, and groans squeezed out from between Meredi's clenched teeth.

But even if you are scarred, enduring to the end does have a price.

In contrast to her hazy eyes, the corners of her mouth raised.

Meredith connects to Oscar and Nez.

"Oh! Nai-chan! I'd be happy if you could help me!"

In a tone that revealed nothing about her condition, she briefly told them how she wanted them to help.

Then, without waiting for a response, she released the gravity field that held her levitation, because she was certain that Oscar and the others would respond to her request immediately, no matter what the situation.

The moment the gravity field was released, the planet's gravity pulled Meredith down vertically.

"Sister Mei!"

As Meredith called out, Meir leaped from behind the beast. Riding the current, she danced like a water fairy, touching the beast's head while standing upside down.

“——『Bad Moment』!!”

The magic that regenerates past wounds was activated, and the beast's eyeball ruptured again, losing its sight.

The divine beast let out a mournful cry and struggled in pain.

"Oh! Na-chan!"

Mei flew over the beast and landed in the sea. As if to take over, a portal opened above the beast's head, and from this portal extended the divine artifact "Chain" controlled by the peerless alchemist.

As soon as the "chain" wrapped around the cracked head of the mythical beast, it immediately emitted a flash of lightning like sunlight.

As long as it was metal, even ore used to seal and dissipate magic power, the strongest alchemist could refine it. The crystallization of the strongest alchemist's skills peeled off the armor of the divine beast.

——Buzz buzz buzz buzz!!

The mythical beast sucked in seawater in an attempt to restore itself.

However, it was too late, too late to be fatal.

The black star of disaster fell from the sky along with the girl in the sky.

“—‘Tian Zhuo’!!”

The magic power of the sky rushed straight into the sky, and the flow of magic power rolled up a vortex, creating lightning balls as numerous as stars. All the lightning balls were connected together to form a huge lightning star.

At this time, "Juehuo" was left behind and became the Star of Ten Thousand Thunders that absorbed natural lightning along with thunderclouds.

"I'll finish you off with this move. I won't let you take anyone away—"Absolute Disaster: Liberation"!!"

From right above the Thunder Star surrounded by thunder balls, huge lightning fell.

Wan Lei was freed from the cage of "Jue Huo" and completely devoured "Tian Zhuo", then became even larger.

The dark world shrouded in dark clouds was illuminated by white light as if it were daytime.

The sound disappeared, leaving only a pure white world.

Whether those who had taken refuge on the "Sea Wall" by boat or those still in Antika, everyone witnessed the pure white lightning that pierced the sky and the earth.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the mythical scene, and everyone trembled in awe.

Incredibly, they all felt that the lightning was sent out to protect them, a manifestation of someone's will of "absolute protection."

Finally, the world regained its sound and color. The massive thunder disappeared as if melting into the air. The dark clouds were blown away in a circular pattern. The storm subsided, and the once turbulent sea gradually calmed down.

And in the center of the sea, the mythical beast emitting white smoke... slowly fell down, its fallen body splashing the waves.

The mythical beast gradually sank into the sea. The calm and transparent waters, through the "sea wall," allowed people to witness the beast's massive body gradually sinking.

Seeing the corpse of the monster that looked like the incarnation of God, everyone was stunned and speechless.

The same was true for the Knights, who, reduced to less than twenty men, were completely stunned.

But what they see is not only the divine beast.

But it was the girl who defeated the mythical beast—Milaldi in the sky.

The sunlight shone on her, and it was a scene that was both solemn and touching.

After briefly staying in the air, Miredi's body suddenly softened and she fell from the sky.

"! Meredith!"

Oscar, who was also looking at her, couldn't help but want to rush forward, but because he couldn't turn his back on Ross and others, he gritted his teeth and continued to confront them.

Chris and other members of the pirate group suddenly came to their senses and prepared for battle.

But the Knights… no, more accurately, their leader, Ross, was still staring blankly at the sky. His expression was like that of a prisoner who had been deprived of sunlight for so long and was finally able to look up at the sun…

"……retreat."

Ross uttered unbelievable words, and of course, Airem and other members of the Knights immediately panicked.

"What! Lord Rouse!? What about God's will?!"

"If we continue like this, we will no longer be able to fulfill God's will. Their power is truly beyond our expectations."

"Are you afraid of martyrdom?!"

"No, but we cannot leave their power unchecked. We must report to the Pope, gather our forces, and reliably defeat them. To do so, we must retreat now. Or do you intend to abandon God's will in order to achieve martyrdom?"

"I, I dare not..."

While Royce's concerns were understandable, Meredi and the others were already exhausted. If they were to be attacked now, there was a high probability that they would be defeated. Royce's reasons felt like excuses, and Airem was unconvinced. The other knights seemed unable to answer Royce either.

"...This is an order. I take responsibility. We retreat."

“…As you command.”

Although Airem and the others looked at Oscar and the others with hatred, they still retreated back to the airship.

"Are you going to give chase?"

Ross asked Oscar this. Oscar and Ross's eyes met for a moment, then shook their heads silently. Ross turned to leave, but Oscar couldn't help but call him back.

"Wait! You, you're not..."

"I am the leader of the Knights of White Light, but I am only... a servant of God."

Ross said this as if to deny Oscar's question, without even turning his head, and walked back to the airship.

Oscar stared at his back for a moment, then shook his head. He then asked Chris and the others to continue guiding the people to evacuate, and then he hurried towards Meredith.

Oscar ran up the "sea wall" which was nearly 200 meters high and headed to the place where Meredith fell, but saw Meredith being held in a princess hug by Mel.

"Miledi!"

"Ahhh~! Oh! See? I'm awesome, right?"

Oscar almost fell down after hearing such a frivolous answer.

"Oh my, Oscar-kun was really worried about Mi-chan. But she's fine now. I did heal her."

"Xiao Mi has been cured."

"How dare you say that, really."

Oscar pushed his glasses up and sighed loudly.

"Hehe, thank you for worrying about me, and your assistance was also very clever. As expected of Ao! You're really good!"

"This has nothing to do with glasses, I'm gonna beat you up!"

While the two were bickering as usual, Meredith seemed to have been completely healed. She floated in the air and asked about the whereabouts of the Knights.

"They retreated."

"...What a surprise."

Meredith was quite surprised, and Oscar said to her hesitantly:

"He...seems to care about you a lot. Um...he also seems to know Berta well. He was very shaken when he heard that Berta was related to you."

"! Oh, what do you mean..."
