A god can choose one Holy Maiden and one Holy Sage each.

There have been many cases where both were chosen, but there had never been a time when the Holy Maiden and Holy Sage displayed stronger power when together.

Only one exception.

Only Carmen and Dominic, the first siblings to be chosen as Holy Maiden and Holy Sage, could accomplish this.

“They are strong indeed.”

As the two standing side by side drew forth their power, an immense force pressed against my body.

It was incomparable to the power when Carmen or Dominic fought alone.

“Let’s go.”

“Right.”

Both of their eyes began to shine brightly.

As Carmen swept her hands in a wide arc, a massive wave appeared in the night sky.

The soundlessly appearing wave swallowed up all the demons falling toward the ground.

Kyaaak! Kyaak!

“Ugh!”

Carmen and Dominic simultaneously frowned.

This is the meteor magic that Feliks summoned to kill everyone.

Even these two won’t be able to resolve it easily.

“I absolutely won’t lose.”

However, when it comes to competitive spirit, Carmen is second to none.

Gritting her teeth, she clenched both hands tightly.

Dark blue veins bulged prominently on the backs of her hands and forearms.

Crack, snap!

A sinister sound like bones being crushed came from within the water where the demons were trapped.

“Do you know what’s most terrifying about water? It’s the water pressure.”

Wow, she can control even that? That’s amazing.

“Stop!”

However, the moment Carmen’s nose began bleeding profusely, I stopped her.

Dominic also grabbed Carmen’s arm.

“That’s enough now. It’s sufficient.”

“…”

Carmen frowned as if she could do more.

Dominic restrained his stubborn sister.

“We’re not fighting alone. You can leave the rest to us.”

At those words, Carmen looked back and forth between me and Joo Hyun-jin.

Though she clicked her tongue as if still dissatisfied, she no longer insisted and obediently released her power.

“How beautiful.”

The wave didn’t pour downward but became water vapor and disappeared into the air.

While it was like a disaster for the demons, to our eyes it looked as beautiful as clouds in Moolung-do-won.

Is this what they mean by ‘life is comedy when viewed from afar, tragedy when viewed up close’?

Thanks to Carmen and Dominic’s power, the flames burning the sky had noticeably diminished.

“Hyun-jin.”

Now it was Joo Hyun-jin’s turn.

“If you don’t want to come in last among the Three Patron Deities, properly contribute your power.”

That’s Joo Hyun-jin for you.

She was fearless even toward the Eternal God.

【User ‘Joo Hyun-jin’ activates divine power exclusive skill ‘Void’.】

Then a System Message appeared before my eyes.

So Joo Hyun-jin can also use the system like me.

And she can already use divine power exclusive skills. It must be due to the difference in recognition between the Sun God and Eternal God.

I’m really glad that Joo Hyun-jin didn’t have to start from the bottom like me.

“There’s fog in the sky!”

Someone shouted.

Unusual black fog began gathering in the night sky.

The moment the black fog swallowed all the falling demons.

Crackle, crackle!

Opposing forces clashed and lightning-like light burst forth.

Unlike when Carmen and Dominic used their power, there were no screams from demons or sounds of things breaking.

That made it even more terrifying.

“What on earth is happening inside there…?”

“You’ll find out soon.”

Joo Hyun-jin looked at me and smiled brightly.

Seeing that precious smile, I can tell she’s very excited right now.

She’s taking out her frustration about missing Feliks on the demons.

“Still, don’t overdo it. Stop immediately if you feel like coughing up blood.”

Even with the system’s help, there’s no way Joo Hyun-jin, who just became a Holy Maiden, could easily handle demons.

It’s only because Carmen and Dominic purified them in the first round that there’s no major problem.

“Why, because you’ll handle the finale?”

Why ask when you already know?

“Still, since it’s after the second purification, I won’t need to use much of my power.”

Before Joo Hyun-jin’s eyes could roll, I quickly grabbed Rute’s arm beside me.

“I’ll also get Rute’s help. I won’t do it alone. Absolutely not.”

Joo Hyun-jin looked back and forth between me and Rute with very displeased eyes.

“I don’t really like it, but… if it’s that guy, well.”

“Right, so now release your power. Your hands are shaking.”

When I pointed with my eyes, Joo Hyun-jin quickly hid her hands behind her back.

As if I wouldn’t notice that.

Her slightly bitten lips, the tension in her jaw and neck, her eyes opened wider to avoid being caught.

There’s no way I wouldn’t recognize Joo Hyun-jin’s expressions.

“Joo Hyun-jin. I told you to stop.”

“…”

When I warned her for the third time, Joo Hyun-jin, who had been biting her lips hard, slowly released her power.

The black fog that had filled the sky slowly dispersed, and I let out a hollow laugh at the revealed scene.

“You’ve already done more than enough.”

Joo Hyun-jin’s divine power exclusive skill.

Was it called ‘Void’?

True to its name, some of the hundreds of demons had vanished, and most were torn to shreds.

A technique that pushed nullification effects to the extreme.

Complete annihilation.

She couldn’t annihilate everything yet due to insufficient power, but that’s fine.

The finale is my turn anyway.

“Lady Ordel!”

Just then, Monica came running with Idella and the mages.

“All demons inside the banquet hall have been dealt with! You don’t need to worry!”

“Nashas, High Priest is taking care of the injured. What should we do?”

“Now, everyone. You can all see the sky, right?”

When I pointed to the sky, the faces of the mages who had been catching their breath turned pale.

“Th-that is…”

“If that falls to the ground, it will be a disaster!”

“Should we deal with those falling demons?”

Everyone steeled their faces as if they had prepared themselves.

Not a single one trying to run away.

Their spirit is incomparable to the likes of Feliks.

“No. You all should put up protective barriers in case we fail. Duke Siery and I will handle the monsters.”

“B-but Lady Ordel, your body is…”

Idella bit her lip and looked at me.

Just looking at my clothes, riddled with holes and soaked in blood, anyone could guess the extent of my injuries.

“My wounds have mostly healed. The Priestess is just being overprotective of me.”

“It’s not overprotection.”

“There’s no way it’s not overprotection.”

“Sounds like overprotection to me.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Airic, Lute, and Joo Hyun-jin all clicked their tongues simultaneously.

Why do you three always sync up so well at times like this?

And Joo Hyun-jin, you just appeared in this world…

“…Anyway, I’m fine, so prepare the barriers. If we delay any longer, it’ll be a disaster.”

“…Everyone, activate the protective barriers immediately!”

Idella seemed hesitant, but she shouted without further objection.

The mages glanced between me and Idella but obediently cast barriers around the Imperial Capital and its surroundings.

Finally, I looked up at Airic, who was continuously pouring healing power into me.

“Priestess, please help with the barriers too. When your healing power mixes in, it becomes difficult for me to control my strength.”

“…Are you really sure you’re alright?”

“Of course. I don’t want to die either, so don’t worry.”

That’s right, I finally reunited with my friend, so I absolutely cannot die.

If only to avoid giving my friend another major trauma.

With a sigh, Airic’s divine power that had been filling my body slowly disappeared.

As the warm divine power vanished, I felt slightly cold somehow.

But it’s fine.

I’m going to fill my body with something else now.

“Lute, come here.”

As soon as I reached out my hand, Lute approached as if he’d been waiting.

“Should I attack the monsters together with you?”

“That would be fine too, but right now I want to try a more effective method.”

“What kind?”

Instead of answering, I grabbed Lute’s arm.

“I’m thinking of using you as a portable charger.”

“…What?”

Lute’s eyes widened.

The 3.2 billion I couldn’t use due to Feliks’s interference.

It should be rolling around somewhere in the banquet hall by now, but there wasn’t enough time to find it and make an offering.

So I thought of another method.

That was Lute’s divine power.

Since it restored the Sun God, surely it would restore my body too, right?

“Try drawing up your magic power.”

The moment Lute obediently drew up his magic power, a System Message appeared.

【You have made contact with ‘Lute Sieri’. According to the user’s will, searching for divine power possessed by ‘Lute Sieri’.】

As expected, my prediction was correct.

“Ordel? What are you doing right now…”

Then Lute’s eyes widened.

He looked down at my hand gripping his arm.

“Do you feel something?”

“Something rough, capricious, and cool… An energy completely different from magic power or your divine power…”

Yes, I can feel it too.

“This is exactly the other power you possess.”

“Ah…”

Lute concentrated on his energy.

As if he would never let it slip away.

At this rate, he might be able to use divine power on his own before long.

Not today, though.

“I’m going to borrow this power for a moment.”

【User ‘Cha Siwon’ absorbs ‘Lute Sieri’s’ divine power!】

“Whew.”

Lute’s divine power, which had felt only capricious, became calm as soon as it entered me.

It felt like grabbing the reins of a wildly rampaging horse and taming it.

What I felt next was a fullness filling my body.

Now, I can do it.

I reached my hand toward the void.

【’Lute Sieri’s’ divine power is added to the user’s divine power. The two divine powers are fusing.】

【Conditions have been met. Congratulations! You have acquired a new divine power exclusive skill!】

【Activating fusion skill ‘Execution’.】
