Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Caesar said nothing, pulled out a small knife from his bosom, and before Thorne could react, he cut off Thorne's arm.

"Uh-huh..."

Caesar immediately stepped forward and covered Thorne's mouth, preventing Thorne from making too much noise.

"Winnie, help me."

“Oh, oh oh!”

Winnie quickly stepped forward and tore off her sleeves to bandage the wound. Thorne endured the severe pain and finally managed to get through it.

At this moment, a strange sound of sawing wood suddenly appeared in the cabin - or rather, it came from outside the cabin, as if something was rubbing against the wall of the cabin.

The three of them suddenly tensed up, but they didn't dare to move or make any sound.

There was another commotion, a slight vibration from the ground, and dust fell from the roof of the hut. The next moment, a huge black claw suddenly lifted up the earth wall on the side. Caesar reacted the fastest, holding Thorne's shield horizontally and pushed forward, but was knocked away the next second. Fortunately, he blocked the oncoming attack for Thorne and Winnie.

The monster roared at the three people through the collapsed wall, and more monsters were rushing up from behind.

"Go quickly!!"

Caesar roared.

At this moment, a loud explosion like thunder pierced through the hut, causing the already crumbling roof to collapse instantly. The next moment, a figure dressed as a nun suddenly appeared in front of the three people, and grabbed the monster's huge claw with her bare hands. Looking closely, it was actually Elsa's fingers that pierced the monster's bones from the side and clamped the monster's arm tightly. Only then did they notice that the nun was holding a girl in her arms, and it was Ruth.

“Ruth!?”

"it's me……"

I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die… The feeling of all my internal organs shifting hit Ruth’s mind again. She wanted to say something, but when she tilted her head back, she vomited with a “wow” sound.

Elsa put Ruth down, and she took a staggering step before falling to the ground and vomiting. Elsa was not surprised by this scene - until now, few people could withstand her operation, and being able to stay awake was already commendable.

Fortunately, there are recovery potions in this world. Elsa thought that adventurers' bodies are much stronger than ordinary people. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether someone would die.

The monster roared.

Elsa turned her head to glance at a few people, and saw Thorne with a broken arm. She looked carefully and found that the black color showed no signs of spreading.

This was a good sign. Some people couldn't resist the black curse and would go mad, even in death, just like the zombies of their past lives, full of a desire to attack living things. However, this person was clearly in a relatively stable condition, decisively chopping off his own hand. He was a very brave and intelligent person.

He lost an arm, but saved his life.

Without paying any attention to the people behind her, Elsa grabbed the monster's giant claws and pulled back violently, throwing the monster's body, which was more than a meter tall, up. Then, she threw a punch towards the sky. Caesar, Winnie and the other two only saw a shadow passing by. The punch actually made a piercing sonic boom, and the monster thrown above her head was covered by the violent shock wave in an instant without even a scream. In an instant, the black blood mist and the roof disappeared.

Elsa punched several other monsters that were rushing towards her from a distance. In an instant, their heads seemed to be crushed by something sharp. Their heads disappeared as they flew towards her, and they fell to the ground one after another. The blood mist spurting from their necks splashed all over the ground.

The monster was dealt with so easily that even its corpse was blown away completely.

Winnie squatted beside Thorne, stunned by what she saw, and Caesar was also in a daze for a long time.

Thorne had a look on his face as if he had seen a ghost. As a shield swordsman, he fully understood how terrifying the power of those monsters was. Even a horse could be easily overturned by them, not to mention those sharp claws. He didn't know how many people had died under those claws, but now they looked like tofu dregs.

The intense wind pressure swept through the small space a little too late, overturning the only remaining wall. Several black limbs fell to the ground after a while, twitched a few times, and then died.

Elsa turned around and said to Ruth, "Just stay here and don't move. I'll be back soon."

Ruth was still vomiting and wanted to say something but couldn't.

Elsa didn't stop, leaving a few people behind and immediately jumped towards other places in the village that were attacked by monsters.

The village had been largely overrun by monsters. Aside from a few professional mercenaries and adventurers, few could mount an effective counterattack. Many villagers hid in their homes, only to be quickly discovered and brutally slain by the monsters. The corpses of both monsters and humans littered the landscape, and even a cursed figure lunged at Elsa, only to have its neck broken by her.

The doctrine said that one should be respectful of the dead, so Aisha did not destroy the bodies of these people. However, those monsters were not within the scope of the doctrine's protection because they had no respect for life.

With one punch, Elsa punched a huge bloody hole in the monster's chest, and with another punch, she plowed the distant wall and dozens of dark monsters that were rushing in to the ground.

The villagers behind her were still clutching their pitchforks tightly, staring at her blankly.

Elsa didn't pause, quickly rushing to the next location. The sound of the wind echoed in her ears, and the smell of blood mixed with the uniquely foul smell of monsters guided her in her direction. She flew past the houses in the village and stopped in front of a cellar. She frowned and raised her foot to open the cellar entrance. The cellar was pitch black, but Elsa could clearly see several corpses wandering in the cellar. Upon seeing Elsa, they immediately pounced on her. It was obvious that these people had gone "mad". Perhaps one of them was injured and assimilated, then attacked the others.

Elsa took a deep breath and lightly chopped down with her palm, causing the cellar to collapse.

She turned and ran in the next direction.

The survivors saw a nun smash the powerful and cruel monster to pieces with one punch, and they knew that support must have arrived.

"Could it be from Weilin Town..."

The man murmured, then stopped talking halfway.

How could someone this powerful exist in Weilin Town? He couldn't help but laugh at himself. Judging from the man's attire, he must be a Saint Sister sent by the Holy See—only the warriors who served the Saint Sister were worthy of such strength.

Elsa paid attention to the movements of the monsters. These monsters posed no threat to her, but Elsa knew that for most people in this world, these monsters were deadly killers. She could save more people, and she had to do it. This was the duty given to her by the doctrine.

Soon, all the monsters in the village were cleared out.

Elsa looked around, then suddenly jumped up and headed towards the source of the monsters further west.

She saw monsters scattered on the plains, coming from the direction of the big forest. Without thinking much, she punched the air a few times and executed all the monsters on the plains, and headed towards the forest.

……

------------

5. Dirty

In the western province of the empire, from the town of Verin to the north is a vast riverside plain, extending to the prosperous lord city of Dammas in the east, and to the west is an endless forest.

The forests spread from the west of the empire to the coastal estuaries and dunes in the northwest, a treasure trove for adventurers.

But due to the appearance of the black monster, few people have come here recently.

Elsa fell from the sky and walked through the forest - the trees in this forest were very dense, making Elsa feel like she was walking in the tropical rainforest she had seen on TV in her previous life. All she could see was lush green. Because of this, she couldn't see the traces of monsters under the dense forest from high above.

There were no signs of anyone having been there. Elsa didn't see any decent paths, so she followed her intuition and walked through the woods. Every step she took would sink deeply into the soft pile of dead leaves, and beneath them was soil and tangled tree roots. From time to time, there were crisp sounds of something breaking, and Elsa could roughly guess that it was the sound of branches breaking under the weight.

With her nose twitching, Elsa felt that she could faintly smell the scent of a black monster here, but the direction was unclear.

Suddenly, a series of crisp, snapping sounds approached from afar, and a massive black figure suddenly emerged from the trees and pounced on Elsa. Without even turning, Elsa slapped her backhand, a cloud of blood darkening the air. The wind surged, whirling golden hair, and a flock of birds screamed and fluttered their wings.

Elsa suddenly realized that she seemed to have used too much force.

She turned around and saw the forest in front of her, which looked like it had been swept away by a huge bulldozer. She immediately held her forehead in frustration.

"It's over... accidentally..."

If the old priest saw this, he would probably be furious. The adventurers in Weilin Town have to rely on this to make a living.

At this time-

[-Eliminate the filthy one*1-]

An unexpected data graph suddenly popped up before Elsa's eyes. She was stunned for a moment, then saw a clue that made her eyes light up:

【-LV up! -】

[-Freedom Points Obtained: 1-]

"Huh? Upgraded?"

It was the first time that Elsa knew that she could level up. She stared for a moment, raised her eyebrows slightly, and quickly called up her attribute bar.

【Elsa Faris】

【HP: 99999】

[Magic Points: 1]

【Strength: 99999】

【Spirit: 1】

[Unallocated points: 1]

【-】

She actually got points? Elsa didn't know what to do. She muttered something in her mind and tried to add the points to her strength, but there was no response. She tried the magic value again and saw [Magic Value: 1] jump slightly to [Magic Value: 2].

This panel isn't broken? Doesn't this mean I can use magic now?

The magic value is finally not 1... Although it's only a small step for the magic value, it's a giant leap for Elsa. Maybe a little magic value is not worth mentioning, but it means hope! If each point represents a point of combat power, Elsa is getting closer and closer to becoming the strongest person in the world.

Elsa sighed slightly.

"What an unexpected gain..."

Elsa couldn't help but turn around and look at the "filthy one" that had just pounced on her. Before she could see what it looked like, it had already turned into black flesh foam. However, what was surprising was that under Elsa's gaze, the black blood foam and flesh pieces were actually turning into black dust at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it disappeared completely in just a few breaths.

It was the first time that Elsa saw a monster corpse disappear.

The faint smell in the air gradually dissipated as the black powder disappeared. Elsa sniffed it and felt nothing unusual. She searched nearby and deeper into the forest, but there was no trace of the monster at all.

"It seems that was the last one."

Elsa breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky.

The treetops in the distance were a brilliant golden color, and it was getting late.

……

It's evening.

The old village chief was attacked and killed by monsters. A burly man gathered the remaining people in front of the half-collapsed mill. The villagers began to pack up their belongings and dig up the bodies. Not long after, the troops from the town of Weilin, led by the union president Brammut, arrived and took over the subsequent work.

After coming to this world, Elsa spent most of her time in the church. She was not good at other things and could not get involved.

She sat quietly on the wall, alert for any other accidents that might happen.

The plain to the west was littered with blackened corpses and body parts, dotted with large craters, as if ravaged by intensive bombing. These were the marks she had left behind. The soldiers brought by Belemut were carrying out the aftermath, including several priests familiar to Aisha, who appeared to have been temporarily transferred from the Vatican.

Although the danger was over, the survivors rarely showed any excitement after surviving. Most of the people here were locals, and many of their friends and family had died in the monster attacks.

Elsa moved her gaze and saw Ruth not far away. Ruth knelt in front of several corpses, wiping her tears.

Sighing, Elsa suddenly felt that the excitement brought by the magic points had become tasteless.

People are all made of flesh and blood, and she felt very sad about what happened in the village, but she didn't know magic, healing or purification, so she couldn't save those wailing people. She felt helpless about what was happening before her.

Perhaps in this world, only the magic of the saint can save those people?

If only I could be as powerful as the Saint, Aisha thought.

"Um... is that Miss Aisha..."

A voice called out from below. Elsa turned around and found a girl wearing a wizard's hat and a dirty robe looking up at her with tears still on her face. There were two people following behind her.

"Ms. Aisha..."

Winnie wiped the tears from her face and smiled at Elsa.

"Finally found you, Miss Aisha..."

"It's you guys," Aisha jumped down the wall and smiled at them as a greeting. She had an impression of the girl and the uncle with the broken arm in front of her.

"Is there a problem?"

"No... I just wanted to meet you and thank you... Thank you... Thank you for saving me, and my parents... They are all very grateful to you..." Winnie pursed her lips, a struggle flashing in her eyes. "Oh, right! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Winnie, Ruth's friend. These two are Thorne and Caesar."

Winnie introduced them one by one, and Elsa also greeted them briefly.

Surprisingly, Elsa found that the black marks on Thorne's broken arm seemed to have disappeared.

"Your shoulder... looks better?"

"Yeah, I don't know what happened just now, but it suddenly got better."

Thorne scratched his head and grinned. Although he looked listless, one could tell that he was relieved to have survived the disaster - at least, he didn't become a walking corpse like the others.

"Just now?" Aisha asked suspiciously, "What about the others? Are there any others who have improved like you?"

"Oh, well...it's strange. Just before dusk, everyone recovered, but the dead remained the same..."

"That's it..."

A moment before dusk, that was when Elsa killed the "Filth One". After killing the Filth One, there was no longer any stench of those monsters in the air.

Aisha pondered, is there any connection between them?

"Anyway, thank you very much this time." Thorne said, and several people expressed their gratitude one after another.

"Thank you very much this time, Miss Aisha."

"Thank you for saving our village, it's very much appreciated."

"You should thank Ruth, and perhaps that person over there," Aisha shook her head and pointed to Belemut who was directing the work not far away. "They were the ones who found me. I just did what I was supposed to do."
