Growth! Thud!

Glasses have been the primary to shatter and chairs toppled over.

“Argh!”

“Aaahhrgh!”

Subsequent, individuals who have been caught off guard fell.

“Why is it shaking once more? What in regards to the protecting spell on the palace?”

“Madam, watch out!”

“He fell and damage himself badly. Somebody assist him!”

“His Majesty, we should shield the Emperor!”

The Grand Corridor rapidly grew to become an abyss.

“Can you actually save us, this world?”

The Excessive Priest continued, his voice trembling.

‘I knew it, you’re asking me to avoid wasting the world in spite of everything.’

In case you’re planning to say it, a minimum of say it correctly. You’re making folks pissed off.

“Kuk……….”

“Are you okay?”

At that second, the Excessive Priest bent over, clutching his chest.

Earlier than I may do something, Argention was there to assist him.

After a second, the Excessive Priest raised his head and his face was pale.

His eyes have been closed and his physique was limp as if he had misplaced consciousness.

“Excessive Priest, come to your senses.”

“Kuluk!”

After a second, he coughed loudly and opened his eyes.

“Are you alright? Even if you’re previous, shouldn’t you have got an extended life forward of you?”

“I like the best way you speak. I ought to stay lengthy sufficient to speak to you.”

“Then why are you right here in such poor well being?”

“I’m in the most effective of well being.”

The excessive priest who had been speaking to Argention stared at me.

“That is my punishment for daring to disclose what the gods haven’t approved.”

“What’s that……….”

“I assumed he’d fake he didn’t hear me if I whispered it over the din, however the god Helios is certainly a simply man.”

Thump! Thud!

Earlier than the Excessive Priest may end, a loud vibration rose from the ground once more.

“Alas, time is operating out………….”

The Excessive Priest took a number of shaky steps towards me.

Then he whispered so solely I may hear.

“The longer term that the god Helios has proven me has by no means been improper. If there was one exception, it was you, Miss Roselina.”

“That’s it………….”

As a result of I’ve modified my future.

Listening to the Excessive Priest’s phrases, I nodded absentmindedly for a second, nearly retorting.

“Is that it?”

“Nothing, I’m simply rambling, go forward.” (Excessive Priest)

“I often obtain prophecies by way of goals. Not way back, I dreamed of numerous lives returning to God’s facet.” (Excessive Priest)

Lastly, he bought to the purpose.

I narrowed my eyes and listened to the Excessive Priest.

“Tragedy has struck past the desire of the gods, and I’ve despaired and grieved over the prophecies. It was a tragedy that I couldn’t change, it doesn’t matter what I did.”

“Is that this the place the place it occurred?”

“Sure, that is the place, and I noticed you standing right here.”

The Excessive Priest’s eyes bore into mine.

I couldn’t assist however smile.

“By any likelihood, in that prophecy………… what occurred to my father and brother?”

“They have been the primary to return to the arms of god.”

‘Oh………….?’

That’s what I noticed within the Preview of the Disaster talent.

I narrowed my eyes on the Excessive Priest’s reply.

But it surely was just for a second, and I regarded up at him once more.

‘If I make a mistake as we speak, I’ll lose my father and Leodor.’

So I’ve to be as clear-headed and calm as anybody.

“I assumed that might be unhappy for you, too, so I’ve come to ask you to make the prophecy………… to alter the long run.” (Excessive Priest)

“It’s the suitable factor to do, even when the Excessive Priestess didn’t ask me to do it.” (Roselina)

“Nevertheless, there’s a caveat………… ugh!” (Excessive Priest)

The Excessive Priest grabbed his chest once more and staggered.

This time, Argention was one step forward of me, supporting the Excessive Priest.

“Excessive Priest, are you okay?”

“No …………… he has already handed out.”

[A special quest has occurred. Would you like to confirm?]

Simply then, a notification popped up.

“A particular quest?”

I had by no means seen one earlier than, so I rapidly accepted.

[Save the life of the High Priest!

Enoch Joffrey has violated his duties as a High Priest and has leaked information.

This is a grave offense for which he deserves to die.

But the merciful god Helios wants to give his faithful servant, High Priest Enoch Joffrey, one more chance.

High Priest Enoch Joffrey’s life depends on what you do.

Prevent a tragedy from befalling the palace, and save his life!

-Conditions: Stop the catastrophe the way the High Priest wants.

-Reward: The survival of High Priest Enoch Joffrey, the enthusiastic support of all the temples established on the continent.

‘Ugh. What’s all this?’

I frowned and stared at the quest.

‘What the High Priest wants… how am I supposed to know?’

The High Priest who’s supposed to tell me has passed out.

Besides, the reward wasn’t exactly appealing.

‘The enthusiastic support of every temple on the continent? Where do I use this? They’ll be a pain in the ass to deal with.’

If I get the endorsement of the temple, I’ll be able to take the Saint route.

I had no intention of becoming a saint.

‘I’m related to an ancient witch, so becoming a saint would be ridiculous.’

I was tempted to decline the quest, but the condition of the High Priest’s survival bothered me.

‘He’s a sly old man, but I feel bad for him.’

It’s a job I’m going to do anyway, so if it saves the life of someone I’ve never even spoken to before, it’s a good thing.

I accepted the quest with a grimace.

Kwaaang! Zzzzzzzz!

As if on cue, the floor of the Grand Hall began to crack.

“What the hell is going on?”

“An earthquake in the Imperial Palace! Has the god Helios abandoned us?”

“High Priest, where is the High Priest?”

“Master of the Magic Tower, help us!”

Kwaaaaaaah!

The people who had been screaming in the midst of the chaos suddenly fell silent.

A bizarre wail, the likes of which I had never heard before, came from the cracks.

“What is this, what is this? Did I hear it wrong?”

“You must be mistaken. There’s no way a monster can be heard from the bottom of the imperial palace…………”

“Haha, yes, you must have heard it wrong!”

If so many people heard it at the same time, they must have heard it right.

But faced with fear for the first time in their lives, they had a mental breakdown.

But it was short-lived.

Thump! Thump!

Thud!

The head of a giant demon appeared through a crack in the floor of the Grand Hall.

It was indescribably terrifying.

“Oh. My God…………….”

“My God, is what I’m seeing really in front of me true?”

“I’m not sure, is this just a dream?”

“If I had known this was going to happen today, I would have spent a fortune……………”

Amidst the cries of terror, the creature gradually emerged.

It clutched at the ground, flexing and extending its arms, leaping on the recoil.

Thud!

The creature landed with a sound that was light for its massive size.

Its head almost touched the chandelier.

Kwaaaaaaah!

It let out a long roar.

The terrified people froze, unable to run away.

‘No matter how you look at it, it’s not like a normal demon.’

I observed the beast carefully.

It was markedly different from the beasts I’d seen in the imperial hunting grounds.

‘There’s something I need to do before I can deal with it.’

I turned to Argention, who was assisting the High Priest.

“Argention, I have a favor to ask.”

“Yes. Go ahead.”

“You made a shield out of the aether before. Can you do it again?”

“To protect the people? I’d rather deal with the demon before it gets to them.”

Argention blinked at me.

“What? You have a similar mindset to mine.”

But right now, I had more important things to do than deal with the demon.

‘I must protect my father and Leodor.’

To change the future, I have to do something I hadn’t done before.

Asking Argention for help was one of them.

“Suppose we improve the image of Palesdon in the meantime?”

I blurted out something to convince Argention, and his eyes widened.

Aah.

“Even at a moment like this, you only think of me.” (Argention)

“What?” (Roselina)

“It’s nothing.” (Argention)

I thought Argention muttered something, but I couldn’t hear it over the howling of the creature.

But I could make out his answer.

A transparent membrane swirled around me, spreading out into the Great Hall.

“Thank you.”

Seeing that the etheric shield had enveloped my father and Leodor, I approached the creature.

[Do you wish to activate the skill ?]

‘Sure. I’ll take all of the buffs I can get.’

I pulled out the slingshot from my stock and gripped it tightly.

Within the meantime, the folks had come to their senses, and the palace knights, led by the Emperor, had surrounded the creature.

‘But it surely received’t do any good.’

If their assault had labored, the Excessive Priest wouldn’t have come this far.

“Stand again, it’s harmful!”

I shouted, opening my talent window.

[Skill  is activated!]

-Calix. Take the folks surrounding the demon.

-Rose, the place are you? We have to keep away from it first…………

-That approach we will stop casualties. Hurry!

However the subsequent second.

Kwahhhhhhhhhh!

The monster roared wildly, and the knights have been knocked off their ft.

It appeared that none of them have been killed because of the etheric defend that Argention had put up.

“Fall again! Fall again!”

I jumped in entrance of the creature to forestall casualties.

“Roselina!”

“Rose!”

I may hear voices calling to me from behind, however I couldn’t be bothered.

Krrrrr~

The enormous demon checked out me, drooling.

After which.

“Huh?”
