Chapter 268 (Self Edited) Paladin and Suspicious People?

To be honest, Ingrid initially thought that those people were suspicious or something.

She had some confidence in her intuition, and even if she had no basis, it told her that she should definitely speak to them. She was wondering whether they were suspicious people, and she observed them. However, they didnt do anything unnecessary.

In fact, such a thing wasnt unusual either. Certainly, one of the Paladins roles was to patrol the city, but that was the reason why Ingrid was forced to do just that.

It would be a lie if she said that she had nothing to think about, but this was also an important role in protecting the people of the city. When she thought about it, she was enthusiastic about looking around, and she was wondering what kind of people she could see this time

Is he no, what on earth are you guys? (Ingrid)

That was the question she asked earlier. It was a feeling she had when they suddenly began to explain the reason for her intuition that no one knew, but at that time, the feeling of confusion was strong.

But now, it was different. It was rather awe-inspiring now.

Well we said that earlier, right? We are just guests. Aah, no, I dont know if I can say that were guests, but well, it doesnt make a difference since its not a big deal. (Hildegard)

That was definitely a lie. If they werent a big deal, it could be a.s.serted that there would be almost no one in this world who could be valued as a big deal.

Otherwise, the scene before her couldnt be explained.

You say that youre not, and yet, its possible to do something in this situation? (Ingrid)

Of course, its not weird if its that much right? Anyone with Special Rank skills should be able to do this kind of thing normally. (Hildegard)

I dont think its normally enough at the time like this even if you have Special Rank skills (Ingrid)

Skills werent absolute. No, if she said so, there would be some misunderstanding, but still, it was a fact in the sense that it wasnt an absolute indicator.

For example, Ingrid had Advanced Rank Swordsmans.h.i.+p skill. It wasnt exaggeration to say that it was one of the highest ranks among close quarter combat skill holders, as there were so few people who had Special Rank skills that could be said to be exceptions.

However, at the same time, it was just a matter from the perspective of skill. Actually, Ingrid wasnt so powerful among the Paladins. At least, she was somewhere in between of high level people.

Still, if it was purely based on swordsmans.h.i.+p only, Ingrid had the pride of competing for the first and second place, which was also a true fact. Ingrid was almost unbeatable when it came to training only with a sword.

However, fighting wasnt just done with a sword. If there was a bow, or magic, and even if it was limited to close combat battle, there were a spear and an axe too. The situation where swords went against each other wasnt so common in practice.

And in a battle where various factors intertwined, it was meaningless if only the swordsmans.h.i.+p was excellent. There were many people who were stronger than Ingrid, and they had only lower and intermediate skills. So, that was why skills werent an absolute indicator.

However, even in such a situation, it was exceptional to have a Special Rank skill. With a sword and a spear, the skill holders could change the whole situation of the battlefield rather than the battle itself. It was just non-standard exceptions. That was the reason why they were called Gift Holders, people who had been blessed by G.o.d.

So, as far as those people were concerned, skills could be an absolute indicator. However, that was why Ingrid was at loss when she had that basis

What are you talking about? Didnt I just tell you that you also have Special Rank skill? (Hildegard)

Hmm is that so? But to be honest, I dont really feel it (Ingrid)

Certainly, she was confident in her intuition, and she didnt think that they were lying. Well, on the contrary, she even thought it was true.

She didnt know if it was her usual guess or something else, but it was just that she thought so. However, that matter was that matter, this matter was this matter it was true that she couldnt really feel it.

Well, honestly, it was hard to notice. However, by becoming aware of it, you will be able to feel it gradually. (Hildegard)

Is that the case? (Ingrid)

As expected, she couldnt really feel it. So, when she tilted her head Oops, she felt it there. Yes, just now, it was

No, its not something to think about. Now is (Ingrid)

Anyhow, we have nothing to do, you know? It will be settled soon. (Hildegard)

That may be the case, but I cant leave it since I am a member of Paladins. Even if theres nothing I can do. (Ingrid)

With that said, Ingrid turned her eyes and bit her lips. That girl was right, she couldnt do anything.

After all, she had no idea what was going there.

Although the sound of sword fighting that she was familiar to hearing reached her ears, the source was completely unknown. It only sounded like it was ringing from here and there, so it must be an actual fact. At the same time, the debris of lightning burst in the air. There was also a sound of kicking the ground and the wall.

It was a high-speed battle that Ingrid couldnt grasp. The situation progressed as it had been mentioned before.

And

Hmm Its faster than I expected, but thats it. Its still weak compared to that time. (Soma)

Along with such words, she heard a sound like cutting something apart. Immediately after, even if it couldnt be recognized, there was something like a scream.

[!!!] (??)

Together with the scream, something suddenly appeared at the edge of the field of vision. Ingrid reflexively glanced toward it as it was flying in the air.

If she wasnt misunderstood, it was a human foot.

(Ingrid)

At a glance, she knew whose foot was that because some of the clothes were also attached to it. It must belong to the man who seemed to be possessed by the Devil.

It might be unavoidable. That boy was holding a sword. It was a matter of course that there was only such a means to stop the opponent with a sword.

Surely if you treat it right away, it will be attached, but it wont be restored immediately. No I cant say anything to me since I cant do anything (Ingrid)

Well, you dont have to jump to a conclusion quickly. Youll know what that means right away. (Hildegard)

Jump to a conclusion? (Ingrid)

She couldnt ask what that meant because there was a roaring sound right after. It was the sound of something slamming on the ground, and when she turned her eyes toward that, the mans body was there.

It was a body with no physical defects.

What? (Ingrid)

Shortly afterwards, the boy landed right next to the man, but of course, both of the mans feet were in good health.

But at the same time, the mans foot flying in the air also fell near it, signaling that it wasnt a hallucination. Ingrid was confused because she didnt comprehend what it was.

Well theres no point in wasting time. I dont think we can get any information. For now, its over. (Soma)

Shortly after the boy said so, the body shook.

When she noticed, the boy was behind the man, and his arm was swung out. The mans head danced in the air however, the head existed firmly on the mans body.

Wha? (Ingrid)

He just cut off the mans body. It wont have any effect on that man. You know what I meant earlier, right? (Hildegard)

She understood that, but this time, she didnt understand the meaning in another sense.

It was said that the Devil possession is the possession of an ent.i.ty called the Devil in the human body. She couldnt confirm because the details were unknown. The Saintess was only saying so, but it didnt prove the existence of the Devil.

Of course, Ingrid believed it since the Saintess said so, but it was a fact that she didnt understand the details well. The Devil possession was something that had suddenly appeared in the last year or two, and there were still many things that she didnt understand.

For that reason, only the Saintess should have been able to deal with the Devil possession so far. Moreover, the Devil possession was a very powerful existence, and there were times when about half of all Paladins were needed.

Not only did the boy suppress it alone, but he also defeated it

Who are you guys? (Ingrid)

The girl didnt reply to the question that had been asked three times. She just shrugged her shoulders while looking at the boy.
