———–

Using Zero to absorb Suthia’s silence, using Tamic to block the dark arrow, and sending his subordinates one by one to “cushion the boss’s blows” still wasn’t enough. As the commander, if he continued to hide in the background, it would be too shameful.

Renji was determined to exploit each character’s potential to the fullest in order to win the battle, including himself.

If conventional emotional appeals didn’t work,

Then he would go for something bigger.

Renji had planned this step from the start.

The only thing that perhaps exceeded his expectations was…

‘Pain!’

Intense pain!

‘Too damn painful!’

Renji often saw in movies and TV shows characters covered in cold sweat and convulsing after being stabbed, thinking it was an exaggeration. But today, he wasn’t stabbed, he was in a worse state. His entire chest was pierced by the hook claw, and his abdomen was slashed open by the scythe. The blunt trauma on his flesh made him sweat profusely, and the tearing sensation at the wound was like undergoing surgery without anesthesia.

It’s safe to say, if not for [Dragonblood Ignition] forcibly supporting his will, he might have already fainted from the excruciating pain.

Even Renji had to admire his own endurance; how he managed to deliver his well-prepared, emotionally charged lines to Suthia in such a state.

Perhaps it’s like this compared to his wife.

Just a fatal wound, after all!

And judging by the results, his sacrifice and efforts were not in vain and achieved an outstanding effect as he had envisioned.

Suthia was completely “controlled” by him, at least at that moment, nothing else existed in the nun’s eyes but him.

Regret and pain occupied all of Suthia’s emotions, large teardrops constantly dripping onto her clothes.

The nun now had lost the ability to think and react, devoid of any defense.

She was just like a little girl who had committed an unforgivable mistake.

Waiting for her punishment.

Anything was fine.

Otherwise, Suthia couldn’t forgive herself, couldn’t absolve her sins, couldn’t believe she actually, and so severely, hurt her Love!

“Don’t you think… I’m… a terrible person, Thia?” Renji, with his life fading rapidly, asked with his last breath, this time not scripted but filled with genuine emotion.

“How could I…”

“It was Thia who cheated first. The terrible one is Thia.”

Even though the nun deliberately emptied her mind, her body’s instincts still sent her a strong warning. A terrifying attack, so powerful that even she felt threatened, was rapidly approaching from behind.

That was Eileen’s crimson greatsword. 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚

To be precise,

It was the greatsword, now layered with hundreds of bloody powers. The “Raise a Glass” Brand tattoo on the young girl’s back was almost filled with the liquid. Thanks to the time everyone fought to win for her, Eileen, whose panel attack power finally reached A+, now had the ability to defeat Suthia.

The qualifications to defeat Suthia, who was in a critical “vessel” state.

Facing the incoming Eileen, the nun did not resist, did not dodge, she didn’t even turn her head.

This was the perfect output space Renji, as the commander, had created for Eileen, a moment to end the battle.

‘Don’t disappoint me, Eileen’

With his last bit of strength, Renji twisted his head in Suthia’s embrace, looking towards her back, towards the almost solid crimson greatsword. As Eileen swung it down, it was about to strike the nun’s defenseless back.

However,

At the very last moment before the sword could strike, Eileen… changed her stance. She lowered her sword, diverting the furious crimson greatsword from its attack trajectory. Even Renji could feel the anger emanating from the sword, questioning and reprimanding Eileen for not using it.

Unfortunately, a sword cannot defy its master, whose soul might be even more tempestuous than itself.

Eileen, who changed her action at the last moment, delivered to Suthia not a sword strike but a clenched fist.

Often, the most complex emotions are best expressed in the simplest and most straightforward manner. 𝘪𝘳.𝘤𝑜

She, too, was from the Holy Kingdom.

She once also believed in the Goddess.

Her fist, enveloped in red light, struck Suthia’s face hard.

“Wake up!”

Bang!*

Suthia’s body flew backward like a cannonball. Eileen didn’t pursue her but quickly caught Renji in her arms from mid-air. As she drew closer, the girl finally saw the horrific extent of Renji’s injuries, her mind went blank, her nose tingled, and her eyes instantly reddened and swelled.

Just as Eileen was about to embrace Renji, preparing to sob over his seemingly impending death and replicate the grief Suthia had just experienced, Renji shakily raised his finger, and a wave of [Divine Healing] cascaded over his body.

Flesh regenerated, wounds healed. Such was the power of [Divine Healing], Suthia’s signature skill as a six-star healer. As long as Renji had a breath left in him, any multitude of injuries could be healed, a perfect match with the life-locking [Dragonblood Ignition].

The fully revived Renji looked at Eileen, who was on the verge of crying but abruptly held back her tears, especially after seeing him, who was on the brink of death just a second ago, now suddenly lively and well. She was completely stupefied.

He patted the girl on the shoulder.

After all, fooling his wife with a feigned injury was one thing, but deceiving a friend was another.

Suthia struck in the head and falling into the cold, stony sewer, lay motionless. Judging by the behavior of the surrounding tainted corpses, which had lost all sense of discipline and reverted to aimless wandering, it was clear that the nun no longer had the strength to control them.

Renji returned to Suthia’s side. The nun was staring blankly at the ceiling.

“Thia, I never had the chance to tell you this before, but now, I think you can finally listen patiently. I want to tell you that there’s something in your Holy Kingdom that ‘they’ don’t have in theirs…”

“Something… ‘they’ don’t have?”
