Hueeeek!!
Eugene Schneider, sensing the appearance of a monster of the highest level or higher, stood up and looked behind him.
[Human... Human...]
And there, a giant of enormous size was looking down on Eugene Schneider and Marianne.
"Titan!!!"
The moment Eugene turned around, Marianne turned her head at the same time. Eugene shouted in shock after realizing the giant's identity.
Titans are a race of half-human, half-gods born from between gods and humans.
"It's not just any Titan, Eugene! It's the Devil Titan!"
However, normal Titans are not classified as monsters.
But the reason Eugene Schneider felt the energy of the demon,
This is because the opponent was the Devil Titan, an ancient Titan race born and flourished between a demon and a human.
Devil Titans are beings with purple skin and bloodshot eyes, much like the demons of their prime.
“If it’s a Devil Titan, then it’s a monster classified as a demigod, isn’t it, Mother!”
Eugene responded to Marianne's words with a serious expression.
There are tiers higher than the highest level monsters, namely the demigod level and the divine beast level.
The Devil Titan, born between a demon and a human, can be said to be a monster belonging to the demigod class.
Other demigod classes include Chimera, Leviathan, and Bone Dragon.
"That's right, Eugene. Even though he's a lower-ranking demigod, he's still a formidable opponent that multiple Seeker-level opponents have to deal with."
Marianne immediately confirmed what her adopted son Eugene Schneider had said with what she knew.
A demigod is said to be a being that a so-called sword master can fight one-on-one.
So, if the seeker levels are to face off, it should be at least four.
‘But there are two of us right now. Me and my mother.’
However, the only Sword Seekers who confronted the Devil Titan that appeared in the Seville Hot Springs area were Eugene and Marianne.
[Humans... things to be torn apart... like tiny creatures that give off a very foul odor...]
Even at a conservative estimate, it was approximately 30 meters tall. It was a Devil Titan, even larger than a Giant Ogre. It continued to stare down at Eugene and Marianne with a face burning with hatred.
“It’s true that the Devil Titans really hate humans.”
"According to mythology, it's testified that they were banished to the Demon Realm by the god. Humans are beings blessed by the god. That's why they can't help but react so viciously."
Long back in time to the ancient times, the age of mythology,
During that time, the Devil Titan was created between the Demon God and the Demon Clan.
In other words, the Devil Titan's hometown is Gaia, another world.
However, at the end of the mythical age, human civilization flourished, and the goddess, who gained power based on the faith of those humans, weakened the demon god's control over Gaia and banished the Devil Titan to the Demon World.
Thus, the Devil Titans came to hate the Goddess more than anything else, and occasionally, when a dimensional rift opened in ancient times and some Devil Titans crossed over to the present world, they enjoyed taking revenge by massacring the human race that had been blessed by the Goddess.
“It looks like he just came over. If that’s the case, we’ll have to finish him off so he can’t get to where the crowd is, Mother.”
Suu ...
The naked sword seeker, Eugene Schneider, immediately summoned his greatsword.
He loves killing so much, yet there are no traces of murder on his body.
What that means is that it wasn't long ago that he crossed from the Demon Realm to the Realm of the Living through a dimensional rift.
As he is a highly intelligent being, it becomes more difficult once he enters the village, so Eugene wants to fight here without any reinforcements.
“Then I will help this mother too.”
“Yes, I would like to ask for your support, Mother.”
As expected, the naked MILF Maman Marianne also declared her intention to fight the Devil Titan.
Then, Eugene requested strong support from Marianne, a former bishop nun.
“No, not support, but Eugene will be fighting that monster from the front with you!”
But that was Eugene Schneider's mistake.
Mamang Marianne, who loves her adopted son, will not be satisfied with just providing support like Charlotte.
“Yes?? You’re going to come forward???”
Titans, similar to Owlbears, are semi-god-level monsters specialized in close combat.
Moreover, as a demigod, he has considerable immunity to the magical realm.
In other words, it would be right for Marianne, who is a seeker level, to continuously buff Eugene, who is an alpha seeker.
Eugene, who had already experienced such battles with Charlotte, ordered it without hesitation, but was greatly flustered by his adoptive mother Marianne's unexpected and sudden actions.
‘I will protect my son even if it means turning away from the path of a priest and breaking the promise I made to the Lord...’
Suu ...
However, Mamang Marianne, who had already turned her attention to saving Eugene Schneider from a demigod-level monster, began to activate her divine power.
'uh?????!!!!!!'
Eugene's eyes were filled with about two million question marks and exclamation marks as he witnessed the divine power emanating from Marianne.
'golden yellow??????'
Because Marianne's divine power color was golden, not white.
‘As far as I know, gold is the color of warriors and saints?’
What does that mean?
If Marianne is a Seeker level nun, it means that she is a divine color that cannot be created.
PASSEE ...
At that moment, when Eugene Schneider's head became complicated, a sacred power barrier measuring one meter in diameter was created in front of Marianne.
[Hoooo...!]
After that, an unusual energy began to pour out from the sacred power barrier.
It's as if something from heaven is shaking and trying to jump out,
The Devil Titan from the Demon World also showed a shaken expression.
I thought they were just humans with a strong awakening ability, but I feel like there's something more to them.
‘Ohhhh! Something is coming out of the barrier!!!’
In fact, something began to appear as if it was being pulled up from the golden sacred power barrier that Marianne had created, making Eugene Schneider's eyes grow even wider.
[That's...!]
It seemed that even the Devil Titan was aware of its existence.
[Sacred Artifact Avant-Garde Hammer!]
The Holy Relic Avant-Garde Hammer is a holy relic granted with the power of none other than the Lord.
‘Avant-garde hammer???’
And the avant-garde hammer of the Holy Relic was something Eugene Schneider also knew.
‘I thought Sister Charlotte’s Goddess’s Hammer was modeled after the legendary relic, the Avant-Garde Hammer??’
This is information he heard from his eldest sister, Charlotte.
Eugene was curious about Charlotte's specially made Goddess's Hammer, which was unique and different from other nuns'.
Charlotte, the eldest sister who loved her younger brother so much, satisfied Eugene's curiosity.
There are many so-called primitive relics, but not all of them have been handed down to the present.
Among them, there are some sacred relics that disappeared at some point, and it is generally accepted that the god took them back because he thought they were no longer within the human capacity.
One of those relics is the Avant-Garde hammer, a weapon that the gods used throughout the mythical era.
Avantgarde is the name of the legendary region where Jushin was born and raised.
The avant-garde that disappeared like that remained only in records and pictures.
The Seonghwangcheong has been recreating some of the abilities with its own technology and bestowing them on the bishop nuns who are the highest officials in the field.
“Mother...! Is that the Agangard hammer you summoned, as that Devil Titan said?”
It certainly resembled the Goddess's Hammer in some way, and since the Devil Titan had mentioned it so meaningfully, Eugene asked his adoptive mother Marianne with a feeling close to certainty.
"Yes, that's right, son. It's the Avant-Garde hammer, a primitive relic that the Lord had retrieved because it was difficult to handle as an offensive weapon."
Suaaaah...! Suuuu...! Suaaaah...!
The Avant-Garde hammer emitted a terrifying amount of divine power on its own.
If the Goddess's Hammer is capable of absorbing and amplifying the user's divine power,
The Avant-Garde Hammer itself provides higher quality divine power.
Looking at the avant-garde hammer that radiated such a powerful golden divine power, Marianne confirmed the words of her adopted son, Eugene Schneider.
“One day, after completing the Paramis Sky Altar mission, I heard the voice of the Lord, and he bestowed upon me his weapon.”
The Paramis Sky Foundation, the most significant sacred site in the history of the Lord, has been contaminated.
And the one who perfectly solved that problem together with Ulysses was Marianne.
Was her ability as a priest, and her innate human qualities, as Ulysses had assessed, truly great?
After some time, the Lord gave Marianne her power.
The avant-garde hammer was given as the light of the Holy Spirit.
“I have made a pledge. Since I am still so inadequate as a bishop, I will make this holy relic, given to me by the Lord, public and use it when I become a saint.”
It was a miracle that further strengthened Marianne's faith.
What does it mean to give up the avant-garde hammer that was recovered?
Doesn't this mean that the goddess has finally discovered and acknowledged the being who can handle that holy relic?
As expected, Marianne, who had a large heart, did not have an inflated ego even after experiencing such an incredible miracle.
He made a pledge to the goddess, saying that he would be aware of his own shortcomings and work hard to wait for the right time.
however,
"But I think I must break that promise. Keeping you is more important to me than keeping my promise to the Lord."
Thump!
For some reason, Marianne gave up the path to becoming a saint.
So, in fact, there is no way she will ever pull out the avant-garde hammer again.
So Marianne felt sorry towards the god who had acknowledged her and has kept the secret of the miracle she experienced until now.
But now, Eugene Schneider, the adopted son who is more important than life, must face the half-god level monster Devil Titan alone.
Marianne prioritizes her ego as a mother who wants to protect her adopted son over her faith in God.
So Marianne straightened the handle of the avant-garde hammer.
“Oh, Mother!”
At first, Eugene Schneider was completely bewildered by the unexpected situation that unfolded.
Now, emotion welled up in his face.
He was born without his biological mother and grew up without feeling deep maternal love.
The being called Marianne before his eyes is trying to protect herself by breaking her promise to God.
Eugene feels like crying at the sight of Marianne Maman's maternal love, which is as wide and deep as the ocean.
Bamã ¡ã ¡ã ¡ã ¡Sudden!
Marianne's eyes flashed golden as she held the handle of the avant-garde hammer.
It is linked with the Angvangarde hammer, which emits the divine power of the goddess on its own.
Ddddd! Ddddd! Ddddd!
Then, in the sacred power barrier where the avant-garde hammer was embedded, things that looked like electric circuits were created randomly.
-Swoooo ...
Marianne pulled out the Avant-Garde Hammer from the sacred power barrier that had completed the link.
ã ¡ë²ã ¡ã ¡ã ¡ã ¡ì³!!!!
An avant-garde hammer that emits a dazzling burst of divine power as soon as it is pulled out.
“I will destroy you together with my son in the name of the one who gave you, Devil Titan!”
Oh my!
Marianne pointed the tip of the avant-garde hammer at the Devil Titan.
