Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

"Got you!"

Elsa made a throwing gesture, but Fred didn't see her movements clearly. He only felt a flash before his eyes, and a strong wind swept grass and dirt towards him, and Elsa threw the arrow out.

The thrown arrow rubbed against the air at high speed, and the black paint on its surface instantly ignited due to the high temperature. In an instant, Fred saw a spark explode in Elsa's hand, and then turned into a meteor. The night seemed to be cut in half by the fire. At the same time, a scream came from the small mound in front, but the sound immediately died down, and the meteor flying into the distance also dimmed quickly, and soon went out - the arrow was worn away by the air without a trace left.

"Sister Faris, what just happened is..."

Fred, standing by, was already stunned. Although he couldn't see anything clearly, he felt the incredible power from the might of that blow—a sonic boom with bare hands? Could the nun recommended by the old priest actually be a Templar?

The Templars are famous for their varied and flexible martial arts and swift and powerful fighting style. Most of them are experts in physical training and combat techniques. They are also one of the few combat units of the Holy See that do not need to practice holy magic.

Fred had only heard of their names but had never seen them fight in person.

And now, he looked at Elsa, as if everything had clicked for him.

After all, the old priest was one of them when he was young, so it is natural for Elsa, who took over the old priest's spear (mantle), to possess this power. For example, the attack just now must have been some kind of spear throwing martial arts.

It seemed as if everything could be explained.

——Fred was happy with his own cleverness.

Elsa looked towards the hill. The enemy there had already lost his entire upper body and was deader than dead.

"It's an enemy. I remember seeing him during the day." The hidden arrow was aimed at killing people. If Elsa hadn't blocked the arrow, Fred would have died. So it was not an exaggeration to call those people enemies. Elsa would not show mercy to the enemy. "But don't worry, he's dead - there's another person in that direction. He seems to be in a daze."

Elsa looked towards the hill not far away, and there was only faint moonlight in the direction of her gaze.

Fred didn't see anything, but he knew Elsa had no business lying to him.

An indescribable excitement and horror rose in his heart, and he once again cast his gaze on the spear that Elsa stood beside her - he was excited about Elsa's strength, and at the same time he was shocked by Elsa's decisive move, but he also knew very well that when the arrow flew towards him, the situation between them and the enemy was already a fight to the death. The gift of Holy Light would not show unnecessary mercy to the enemy, and Fred's eyes quickly became sharp.

Unconsciously, Fred also became eager to fight.

There is another enemy.

Although Fred did not master the magic of night vision, he had his own way of fighting. He growled, bit his finger, and used the blood as a guide to push the scroll in his hand. As the blood spread, runes flashed with glow and enveloped him and Elsa. At the same time, he whispered an obscure spell and threw a white magic stone into the air.

"Go!"

Fred took a sharp breath, held his staff in front of him, and chanted loudly.

“…(Chanting)”

The next moment, there was a loud bang in the sky above his head, and the sky was illuminated like daylight. Countless stars slowly fell, and the light they brought made the plains within a hundred meters visible at a glance. Fred narrowed his eyes and saw a furtive figure in the daylight.

“Holy Punishment Heavenly Thunder!!”

Fred shouted, swinging his staff vigorously.

It was the first time that Elsa saw someone use real offensive magic. Her eyes lit up and she stared carefully, but there were no rolling thunderclouds, no deafening thunder, and not even lightning falling from the sky. What she saw was a thin purple arc of electricity emitted from the top of Fred's staff, which went straight across a distance of 100 meters and instantly ignited the figure. After a burst of fire, the figure fell straight down.

"This is... 'Holy Punishment Thunder'?"

Elsa had a strange look on her face, and her name was very domineering, but how should I put it... it always seemed like something was missing - although, theoretically, the lightning that could penetrate this distance was somewhat terrifying, but this was based on the physics of the original world, and it didn't seem to be the case in this world.

Fred didn't notice Elsa's expression at all. He breathed heavily and smiled smugly: "Great! Solved! Let's go support Marvin and the others!"

Marvin is a priest, Buck is a swordsman, and together with Fred who is a wizard, the three of them can unleash higher combat strength. Fred believes that with the cooperation of Elsa, a quasi-temple knight, they will be able to fight even if the devil comes.

But Elsa was one step ahead of him. The step she took shook the entire camp. Fred then saw Elsa's figure appear on a hill in the distance and quickly rushed towards the river.

"Wow!"

His mouth dropped open in frustration.

He finally understood that they were not needed for this escort mission at all. At best, they were just guides. Escort? Who escorted whom?

On the other side, a fierce battle was taking place by the river.

Marvin covered the wound on his abdomen and confronted several mercenaries with his staff. A holy light emanated from his palm to heal his injuries, but the staff in front of him had several cracks on it, as if it would break at any time.

……

15. Scarlet Nun

In fact, whether it is Fred the mage, Buck the swordsman, or even Marvin the priest, they are all the best among their professions.

Although Marvin was a priest, he was proficient in physical skills. In a one-on-one fight, none of these mercenaries could be his opponent except for a burly, dark-skinned man. But after all, two fists are no match for four hands. Those mercenaries came prepared, and the siege of several of them made it difficult for him to resist.

"Buck, are you okay?"

Marvin shouted with difficulty.

Buck was gasping for breath at this time. He was covered in wounds, some of which had healed, while some were still bleeding. His priestly robes were already stained with blood, and the lining of his leather armor was also damaged to varying degrees. Facing the three or four enemies in front of him, even he felt exhausted.

This time I was wrong.

Buck's heart was filled with anger and helplessness. He did not expect that the leader of these gangsters disguised as mercenaries was actually the long-wanted horse bandit "Aru", a very dangerous man who was good at disguising himself. He even massacred a silver medal adventurer team, which shows his strength.

Only a gold medal adventurer could possibly stand up to him, and even apprehending him was doubtful. Meeting someone like him was unfortunate, and the most unbearable part was not being able to see his sister before he died.

"Keep him busy and get rid of that priest first! He's so annoying."

"He's dying, kill him, kill him!!"

At this moment, a huge white light curtain suddenly rose in the sky above the camp, almost illuminating half of the sky. Seeing this scene, Marvin immediately panicked.

"It's Fred!" Marvin shouted with difficulty, eyes wide open, "Buck! Don't worry about me! Go and protect Sister Faris!! We can't let anything happen to her!"

"Damn it... No wonder I didn't see the other two guys. So they were targeting the Saint Sister?"

Buck took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, gripped his sword tightly, and rushed forward, trying to break through.

Buck faced three enemies attacking simultaneously from different directions. He gripped the sword tightly in his hand and stabbed, swung, blocked and thrusted quickly and accurately. His swordsmanship was impeccable, and the weapons collided violently with each other, sparks flying in the night. He forced the opponent to retreat again and again, but from time to time a hidden arrow would shoot from the corner, blocking his pursuit, making him annoyed but helpless.

"Ohhhhh!! Let me see what you can do!"

At this moment, a huge figure roared and rushed towards him. Buck pulled back and held the sword across his body to prepare for the attack, but what attacked him was a heavy sword as huge as a door panel.

Bang! ——

Buck tried his best to block the attack, but he was still easily knocked away, rolling on the ground for more than ten meters before coming to a stop. He felt as if his whole body was falling apart, and he had no strength at all. His sword was also broken in half, with only the blade connected to the hilt.

On the other side, Marvin's injuries became more and more serious, and he was defeated under the siege of three mercenaries.

"Buck... stand up!"

Marvin, another knife wound on his body, maintained his shaky form and tore off the last scroll of life restoration. Circles of milky white light spread out. Buck shook his groggy head and finally stood up. He gripped the broken sword tightly and took a deep breath.

"I'll hold them back... Buck, you run fast, go support Fred and Sister Faris."

Marvin said.

At this time, Aru blocked their way.

"Hahaha, you want to leave?" Aru held the giant sword upright in front of him. The broad and heavy blade was like an iron gate, blocking Buck's way. Aru sneered, "Is this the level of the people in the Vatican?"

The mercenaries around burst into laughter. The night obscured their distorted expressions, but it seemed to make their laughter even harsher.

Marvin glared at Aru and roared hoarsely, "You evil scoundrel, God will punish you! You will be sent to hell and burn in hellfire!"

Aru's sneer froze on his face.

In this world, God is an illusory legend, but no one has ever questioned the existence of God.

"Hmph, I haven't lived a good life, so what if I go to hell?" Aru seemed enraged. He drew his giant sword, his expression turning cruel. "Compared to me, you'd better die first! Everyone, come together and capture them!"

"oh oh!"

The mercenaries suddenly became excited and rushed forward. Marvin and Buck could only cope with them with difficulty.

This whole scene fell into Elsa's eyes. She smelled the bloody smell in the air, her eyes were slightly stern, she suddenly grasped the spear and threw it out.

Keng——

The spear made a violent roar the moment it left his hand. The air and the spear body rubbed violently, and the tip of the spear pierced the sound barrier. Layers of conical air waves spread out like waves, and the deafening sound of breaking through the air suddenly resounded through the sky. In an instant, the spear dragged out a silver tail flame spanning hundreds of meters, shooting straight at the short mercenary who was casting magic.

Boom—a sudden loud noise accompanied by a strong vibration from the ground instantly broke the offensive of everyone present. No one realized what was happening. The huge wave of impact surged and knocked several mercenaries to the ground. Finally, the sharp sound of breaking through the air followed.

"what happened!?"

Aru was also startled by the loud noise. He was the first to react. He looked in the direction of the short mage, Genna, but there was no sign of Genna. A huge crater had already been smashed there, and dirt and grass were flying everywhere. The shockwave pushed the spider-web-like cracks to spread for dozens of meters.

And there was nothing at the center of the shock wave.

Marvin and Buck were also stunned. They looked at the amazing sinkhole. Even the mercenaries were a little panicked. They didn't know what was going on and stopped the siege for a while.

At this moment, a figure caught everyone's attention. She appeared from the moonlight, descended from the air, and landed straight in the center of the huge pit with a bang. With her back to the moonlight, her unique short nun uniform and golden hair moving in the wind could be vaguely seen. A guess appeared in Marvin and Buck's hearts at the same time, and then was wiped out at the same time. They opened their eyes wide, but saw that person slowly squatted down, and actually poked one hand into the ground, pulling out a spear taller than her from the center of the huge pit. She shook the spear violently, and the mud stains faded away, revealing the silver gun body like moonlight.

Marvin and Buck were dumbfounded - even though they only thought the figure looked similar, when they saw the iconic silver spear, how could they not know who the person was?

——Elsa Faris, a candidate for the Holy Sister of Weilin Town.

For a moment they couldn't believe their eyes.

Aru also looked at the figure in the middle of the huge pit in shock. The moment the figure turned around, the hairs all over his body stood up.

Golden eyes.

Even in the darkness of night, those golden eyes seemed to penetrate the crowd and pierce straight at him. Not only Aru, but everyone including Marvin and Buck felt a chill at the same time, as if they were being stared at by a giant dragon that had trampled down the mountain and broken through the city.

When Aru saw the figure raising the silver spear above his head, a strong sense of crisis immediately enveloped him.

Elsa didn't say much and just threw the gun.

The spear left his hand and crossed the narrow distance in an instant, followed by the sound of breaking through the air.

puff--

The mercenary holding the square shield subconsciously raised the shield, but it was of no use. The spear pierced through the shield straight away and passed through his chest. At the same time, Elsa's figure appeared behind him and caught the spear just in time.

The blood mist was shattered by the shock wave, and the sound of the air explosion arrived a step late. At this time, Elsa gathered the power of the spear into her waist, turning it into a high-speed rotating silver crescent. The explosive power burst out from her legs with her waist as the axis. The spear used the force to turn stabbing into sweeping, and suddenly swung out horizontally, and the sound of breaking through the air was deafening.

puff-

Wherever the silver light passed, it was like a hurricane sweeping across the earth, destroying everything in its path. The steel weapons and protective gear were as fragile as paper and were easily broken in half. Blood and internal organs spurted out, and pieces of flesh and broken limbs flew dozens of meters away. The fierce wind pressure sucked out the air, making a thunderous explosion.

Everyone was stunned. Some screamed in terror, while others felt their legs go weak and fell to their knees. The next second, their heads were smashed by the oncoming fists.

"How can it be!!"

Aru's eyes were bloodshot, and he drew his sword to chop, but the next second, a huge force accompanied by a numb feeling shattered his tiger's mouth and finger bones. With a clang, sparks burst out in front of his eyes, and the silver spear pierced through the sword he was proud of, leaving a huge hole in the sword body - he was so shocked that he stopped abruptly, but found that the tip of the spear had cut off his beard, and the hot tip of the spear was pointing at his throat.

The sharp wind pressure hit me a little late.

He froze in place, his gaze passing the door-like sword. At the end of the silver spear were a pair of icy golden eyes under the moonlight, and a teardrop mole at the corner of the eye stained red with blood.

Gollum—

Aru swallowed hard, his throat squirming and being pierced by the tip of the gun against his throat. A trace of blood overflowed from his dark skin and dripped down along the hot tip of the gun, making a hissing sound. For the first time, he smelled the scent of cooked human blood, and that blood was his own.

The ground was littered with debris and broken limbs, scattered flesh and internal organs, and a bloody mist dyed the air red.

Marvin and Buck were already speechless with shock, and stood there for a long time. Aru had been standing there like a puppet, not daring to move, his hands stiffly placed on the hilt of the big sword in front of him, his muscles tense to the point of twitching.

In just a breath of time, the fierce battle was replaced by deathly silence. Apart from Aisha and Marvin, only Aru was still standing.

……

16. Misunderstanding resolved

"Ah, you're the last one."

Elsa pretended to be surprised, retracted the spear and flicked it lightly, and the blood color faded from the spear body, leaving it as smooth as new.

She squinted her eyes and looked Aru up and down - Aru was more than two meters tall and a completely muscular man. It can be seen that if his strength were placed in Weilin Town, he would undoubtedly be ranked among the top strong men, but Aru used such strength to harm others.

"Are you their boss?"

"Bo, Bosi...?" Aru trembled and moved his cramped tongue, and finally made a sound.

"It's the boss... oh no, it's the boss."

"No, no! I'm not Persia!"

Aru quickly denied it.

He had no idea who this nun was. She'd killed countless people without blinking an eye. Was she really a nun from the church? He had no time to doubt it. He only knew that the person before him could easily kill him without any hesitation or hesitation.

"Of course I'm not... I'm just a little brother... I'm just responsible for gathering intelligence, and I'm a little bit stronger..."
