I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero

24 – Saint Nerah’s Regret (5) – Hell

“Let’s go into the boss room now.”

“Yes sir.”

The dungeon we entered with the students, and now we are all ready to open the boss room.

We prepared everything and stood in the boss room.

If you open this door now, the boss will appear.

Students gulped their saliva and had half-expectation and half-concern.

“What kind of boss will come out…!”

“Isn’t that just like a dragon coming out?”

“Hmmm…”

Riden trembles.

And Seria, whose eyes twinkle as she imagines something like a dragon.

Even Luna, who doesn’t seem interested.

Each person expresses it in a different way, but it seemed like they were expecting a lot.

But to be honest, I didn’t have any expectations.

Again, I never put students in a difficult dungeon.

“It’s only a c-level dungeon, but what about a dragon?”

Of course it was a c-class dungeon, so it was obvious that there would be a boss monster suitable for a c-class dungeon.

So I smiled and opened the dungeon door, and finally saw the dungeon boss.

And as expected, it wasn’t a very great boss monster.

“Are you a goblin?”

“But… He’s much bigger than a goblin?”

“That’s the Goblin King.”

From a group of goblins that appear, to a goblin that seems to be the owner of the dungeon with a much bigger body than the other goblins.

It was clear that these guys were probably guarding the boss room.

As expected, the boss wasn’t that strong. They were the kind of bosses worthy of a boss in a C-class dungeon.

So there was no need to worry so much.

“Isn’t that easy?”

“It’s an easy enemy, but stay vigilant. Prepare yourself, guys.”

“Yes…!”

The students each prepared for battle, and I watched them from behind.

If anything happens, you can intervene immediately.

Well, of course Luna, Seria, and Liden are all outstanding students, so I don’t think that would happen.

Three of them are very good students at the academy, and the c-rank dungeon is honestly easy to clear.

So I put my mind at ease and just watched lightly.

“Hmm…”

Anyway, it’s a goblin…

Looking at that for some reason, I couldn’t help but think of the past.

‘Hmm… It’s been a while since I’ve seen goblins.’

In fact, monsters called goblins are actually common, but if you ask if they are related to the warrior party, they are definitely not.

There is nothing more wasteful than having a group of powerful warriors, the party of warriors, deal with goblins.

I rarely saw goblins during the warrior party.

However, I also had a time when I was a novice adventurer before joining the warrior party.

At that time, I had the experience of catching goblins without a break every day under the guidance of my master.

So it was true that seeing goblins like that gave me a new feeling.

I don’t miss it that much, but since it’s a monster I’ve seen for a long time, it’s not like I don’t feel anything.

Anyway, it felt like that.

And to be honest, there was one other thing that came to my mind.

That was about Nera.

‘Ah… Come to think of it, talking about goblins reminds me of Nera, right?’

The saintess of the warriors party, Nera, who is probably holding the devil in the warriors party now.

When I met her, she had a lot of work with goblins, so of course I couldn’t help but think of her.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

‘Didn’t she make a fuss about raising goblins then?’

It’s been over 7 years, so I don’t really remember.

I remember being really frustrated with Nera at the time.

When I first met her, she raised a doctrine that all living things are precious.

She said that even goblins shouldn’t be killed, so when I first saw Ner-A, I couldn’t help but feel quite annoyed.

Moreover, even after that, Nerah went into the goblin lair and made a fuss with her telling her never to kill the young goblins.

Even thinking about it now, Nera at that time was truly a spectacle.

Of course, extenuating circumstances are possible if you know how Nera grew up. Because she was locked up in the church and she was a woman who had only learned the ideal.

But even if I knew that, I couldn’t help but feel angry when I saw it…

But, well, that personality somehow got fixed.

‘At that time, Ner Ah suffered a lot for her…’

What Nera went through after that To be honest, those things are not light.

She couldn’t have changed a person if she went through such things.

I think it was probably after that incident that Nera changed.

For some reason, I was soaked in thoughts of the past.

ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ

“Ugh…”

Nera is sleeping soundly in the saint’s room at the church.

Nera is like a sleepyhead who usually doesn’t wake up until morning.

However, while she was sleeping for some reason, she felt so bad that she had no choice but to get up.

Ner ah woke up while tossing and turning her body like that.

Nerah stood up and looked around her, clutching her aching head.

What the hell was she doing that made her wake up like this, and why her head hurts now.

That’s the result of Nerah looking around her.

She couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Uh…? Boo… Fire?”

What was reflected in her eyes was a church that was already burning bright red.

Black smoke was burning, and the surrounding area had already become a sea of fire.

While she was sleeping, the church was almost in a state of inferno.

Nera was taken aback by this situation, but she still quickly thought of what she should do.

“This… It’s not like this. We need to save the nun and the goblins.”

What she remembered was the nun sleeping in her nun’s room, and the goblins sleeping in her guest room.

In this situation, it would be too dangerous if she continued to sleep.

To protect their lives, Nera moved immediately.

After Nerah left her room, she was already in a state of burning fire, and there was no oxygen left for her to breathe…

Still, Nera didn’t care.

“It’s fortunate…God bless you.”

The divine protection she possesses as a saint.

As long as she has that protection, she can overcome this kind of fire or lack of oxygen.

Nerah, relying on her protection, headed for the first time to her nun’s room, which was closest to her own room.

And when she arrived at the nun’s room, she saw a very distressed nun in her eyes.

“Ugh…”

Unlike herself, she was a nun who was an ordinary person without any protection. It was natural that she could not breathe in a fire like this.

It was really fortunate from Nera’s point of view that she was even breathing in this kind of fire.

As long as she doesn’t die, she can save Nera’s life.

Nerah immediately ran to her nun and used her holy power.

“Sister… Wake up. I’ll save you now.”

Clear light masses began to gather from Nera’s body.

And the light flowed into her nun, and the mass of light breathed life into her nun.

And then the nun let out her breath.

“Huh… Heh…”

“I’m glad…”

Nerah was very relieved at that appearance, but she was still not safe.

If she was here, she would lose her mind again because she couldn’t breathe.

Because of this, Nerah left her room after carrying her nun on her back.

And on the way out of her room, she came up with another existence that could not be evacuated.

“Are the goblins safe…?”

That’s the goblins.

Nerah immediately went into the goblin room with her nun on her back.

But strangely, the goblins were nowhere to be seen.

“Huh…?”

At first she was a panicked nera, but maybe she didn’t evacuate first?

She thought about that.

She probably does. Because it’s a monster and its senses are better than humans.

So Nerah left the church with her nun on her back.

And then, as she looked around, she couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Is the village… Burning?”

The village was engulfed in fire.

The whole town is on fire, did someone start a fire in the middle of the night?

Even though it was a dark night, the world was so bright thanks to the flames.

Women in the village wake up and evacuate all at once in the middle of the night.

In addition, the men in the village carry buckets and carry water from the riverside.

It was a pretty bad situation.

It was a scene almost reminiscent of inferno.

Seeing her like that, Nerah couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. She

She couldn’t help but think about who she was and who she did this to.

“Who the hell… Who would do this?”

A person who could commit arson…

Who the hell is that?

Ner Ah has been thinking about her, but she doesn’t come to mind.

This is a village with a church, and most of the believers are kind and generous…

There was no one who would do something like arson.

‘A thief… Not…’

I wondered if bandits had made a surprise attack, but there are guards guarding the village at the entrance.

There’s no way thieves or robbers could have attacked in such a situation.

Who the hell did this and why? Nera couldn’t help but think about the current situation.

And the moment you think so…

“Gorreuk…”

A goblin’s voice could be heard from behind the church.
