Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc
Chapter 39: Is This Protagonist Setting Wrong?
“That nun who fought the Seven Deadly Sins is terrifying…”
“???”
Luo Yuxi looked at the trainee nuns lying on the ground, their clothes torn, their faces flushed, yet still managing to commentate, and felt bewildered. She looked at the glowing girl beside her.
“Are you kidding me? She defeated you?!”
[Xia]
Occupation: Saintess
Affiliation: …
Skills: ???
Title: Saintess
Affection: 78%
Order Level: 4th Order
Luo Yuxi couldn’t understand. These trainee nuns had been punched into the ground by Xia, yet they were still insisting she was the one who did it. Before Luo Yuxi could explain, the nuns fainted.
“Should I kill them…?”
Xia looked at Luo Yuxi. Luo Yuxi quickly waved her hands. She had just wanted to take Xia out for a walk, not cause any deaths. The bishops wouldn’t be happy. But the protagonist was surprisingly violent.
“Let’s go, before everyone else arrives…”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Xia nodded obediently. Luo Yuxi was surprised by her docility. If it weren’t for her alluring figure, she would have mistaken her for a child easily lured away with candy. Luo Yuxi almost believed she had mind control powers.
“Come on, this is a secret route I found. There are usually very few guards here, especially now that everyone’s gone to the Holy War~”
Luo Yuxi led the way. Of course, she hadn’t “found” anything. She didn’t know Apal’s layout, but based on her game knowledge, this was an area for underground transactions, so there usually weren’t any guards.
“If I remember correctly, turn right, then go straight, then turn left, and we’ll reach the east gate…”
Luo Yuxi followed her memories and the markings on the walls, leading Xia towards the exit. Seeing the exit so close, she excitedly pulled Xia’s hand.
“Let’s sneak out quietly!”
“…”
As they ran, a blinding silver light stopped them. Luo Yuxi, her vision slowly returning, saw a group of soldiers in silver armor, their white-crossed banner unmistakable. A small detachment of the Divine Punishment Army, hundreds strong.
“Wh-Why are they here?!”
“Luo Yuxi?! Aren’t you missing?!”
Luo Yuxi panicked, then heard her name and looked towards a blonde girl in armor, riding a horse at the front of the formation. Luo Yuxi felt a sense of familiarity.
“Who is she…?”
The girl’s appearance and armor seemed familiar, but she couldn’t place her. As the girl approached, Luo Yuxi became nervous.
“It’s great you’re back! The bishops said you were missing!”
“Although it seems rude, who are you…?”
“Wh-What?! It’s me! Isaiah!”
“Even if you tell me your name…”
Luo Yuxi was embarrassed. She didn’t remember this character. Seeing the girl’s slightly bruised face, she felt a pang of guilt.
“You’re so mean! Humiliating me, the Captain of the Divine Punishment Army, and now you pretend not to know me!”
“Uh…”
Luo Yuxi tried to explain, but she really didn’t remember this character. The girl, despite her strong and imposing appearance in armor, was now crying like a child. Luo Yuxi was afraid she would be struck down.
“Wait… could it be…?”
Luo Yuxi suddenly remembered the arrogant Knight-Captain at the southern border church, forced to wear a maid outfit and clean the church for a week.
“It’s fine if you don’t remember, it’s better that you forget…”
Isaiah wiped away her tears and drew her sword, pointing it at Luo Yuxi, her previous tearful demeanor gone, replaced by a cold, sharp gaze.
“Then let’s discuss another matter. Where are you taking the Saintess?”
“I’m taking her out for a walk, to see the mountains and rivers, and then we’ll find a room and sleep together…”
Luo Yuxi’s gaze darted around, even she didn’t believe her own words. And this knight had been her maid! If she knew Luo Yuxi remembered, she might be killed.
“Fortunately, our deployment was delayed, or you would have kidnapped our Saintess…”
“I didn’t! I’m not!”
“Have you betrayed the Church? Captured by the Seven Deadly Sins, your body trained, your mind brainwashed, turned into their toy…?”
“Huh? What?! That’s slander!”
Luo Yuxi pointed at Isaiah angrily, but the knight didn’t give her a chance to explain. She raised her sword and ordered,
“Divine Punishment Army, apprehend Nun Luo Yuxi and rescue the Saintess!”
“How can you be so unreasonable?! This is a personal vendetta!”
Luo Yuxi was about to use her divine arts. There were over a hundred soldiers, all 9th or 10th Order. If she fought with all her might, she might have a chance to break through.
“In that case…”
…
“Ah!”
“So fast! What was that?!”
“I can’t see!”
“I’m paralyzed!”
…
In the blink of an eye, the Divine Punishment Army was incapacitated, even Isaiah was bound and gagged.
“What happened?”
“Can we go now, Yuxi…?”
Luo Yuxi turned and saw Xia, an innocent expression on her face, as if she didn’t know what she had done. Luo Yuxi felt a sense of defeat.
“Was the protagonist this strong in the game…?“
