In a fairy tale, this would lead straight back to a peaceful village for a happy ending... but reality didn't work that way.
I plopped down on the plains alongside Angela and let out a sigh.
"How the hell do we clean this up?"
"Hahaha..."
The air was thick with the stench of burnt char all over the now-empty sanctuary.
The storm that had raged up to the temple entrance had demolished every building on the outskirts. And the streets were littered with belongings hastily discarded during the evacuation.
'If it was just the sanctuary in ruins, we could manage...'
The real problem lay elsewhere.
To hold back the endless waves of snake-humans, we'd blindly spammed fortress-building magic without any planning. So now random walls were sticking up all over the sanctuary.
'...Gonna block the roads. And erasing them one by one without leaving debris would take forever.'
This was...
I couldn't even tell where to start.
"..."
And then.
The upgrade scroll we'd pulled out as our final card to avert this disaster—gone.
'Who'd have thought spamming fortress magic and bullshit instant casts would still push us to mission failure? If we hadn't made that last call, we'd all have wiped together.'
⚔ STATUS ⚔ 【Angela (24)】 ⚡ Saintess of the Final Sanctuary / Priestess 💨 [Legendary] Blessing of Flowers: Converts life force to blessings ✨ [Legendary] Light of Life: Awakens infinite life through faith 💪 [Heroic] Vampirism: Dominates blood flow Two abilities that meshed in a bizarrely perfect way.
Maybe...
From the start, this upgrade scroll's owner was destined to be Angela.
With complicated feelings, I spoke to her.
"Sunlight—okay if it hits you now?"
"Oh, right..."
Angela flinched and pulled out her eyepatch, then blankly gazed up at the blue sky. The light reflected off her pink hair, dazzling.
"...Feels fine. Used to sting before. New ability?"
Maybe the life force generation offset the sunlight DoT. Just a guess, though.
Right now...
Honestly...
I didn't care.
"Good to hear."
"Yeah."
Angela quietly took my hand. Hers was damp and cold from the night's endless tension. But now it held a serene warmth again.
Her moist eyes shining, she said,
"Savior."
"Yeah?"
"Now, we can go forward—"
-Lucius—!
"!"
I turned at the familiar voice. Niva, who'd been warping all night long. Beside her, I heard a small sigh.
"...Not easy, huh."
Niva sliced through space with warps, approaching. A bunny girl popping up fifty meters away was still a sight to behold, no matter how many times.
The bunny girl tightly gripped my other hand and asked,
"Anywhere hurt?"
"Nah. Just support from the back."
"Good..."
And then.
Niva glanced at Angela. She eyed how Angela held my hand with a prim look, then met eyes again.
"..."
"..."
A brief silence.
"...No injuries?"
"None. You, Lady Niva?"
"Fine. Just warping from behind."
"Relieved."
"Uh, yeah... You too."
"Yes, glad we're all safe."
And silence again.
But neither let go of my hands. Instead, they pulled closer, letting me feel their soft plushness fully.
'Warm and nice.'
The chill of the crisp early winter breeze melted away from the warmth on both sides.
A strange mix of pride and comfort welled up from deep inside, thanks to the two women's heat.
But...
I couldn't move beyond that.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Tension? Relief? The clashing emotions at the scene. In the middle, I just alternated glances between Niva and Angela while holding their hands.
As Lord, I had no clue how to break this.
"..."
Damn.
If I were some alpha male from my past life, I'd know what to do.
'Plus the scents and soft feels from both sides got my brain floating—.'
But thankfully.
Voices of approaching climbers shattered the silence. The Lord's forces, wounded, Aslan and Sword Empress slowly heading our way.
"!"
And pale-faced Albert, High Priest Cairos staggering over. All bore deep fatigue in their eyes.
'Everyone scattered, torn, smashed chaos. Fought tooth and nail.'
Yet.
No deaths.
On the obstacle-free plain, I could count the approaching numbers.
'Everyone who went out to fight is back.'
Aslan, supported by Abel, grinned wide. Beside, Sword Empress sighed in relief, face drawn.
"Hahaha! Lord! Unhurt?"
"Whew... Didn't expect back-to-back clears."
Reality snapped back. Still holding Angela and Niva's hands, I stood. Both women looked at me, then gripped tighter and flanked me.
I said,
"Glad everyone's safe. Cleanup later—head to Windmill Village first, regroup—"
Rumble!
"!"
"!"
"!"
Thunder-like roar. The storm-evoking sound had us all tense, staring at the source.
Aslan muttered blankly at it.
"The, temple?"
That instant, the temple behind us crumbled before our eyes. Like an invisible bomb went off.
Groooar—!
Crash!
"..."
"..."
"..."
Uh.
Fuck.
This.
'Quest complete, right...?'
As I opened my mouth,
Shimmering text appeared late before everyone's eyes.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ All quests in 52F, 'Sanctuary Gades Banea', perfectly completed. The floor's fate has drastically changed. Saintess survival confirmed. Heresy Inquisitor survival confirmed. Prophet Cairos survival confirmed. Witness Albert survival confirmed. 99.9% of sanctuary residents survived unharmed. Climber casualties 0% Constellation's hidden conditions met. Constellation's blessing granted. "Constellation's blessing...?"
Everyone murmured, eyes on the light floating in the sky. The relic once housed in the temple—the 'Earth Goddess Statue'—shone, coiled by a massive serpent.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Blessing of the Nameless Three Goddesses, 'Earth', granted. Majestic beams shot from the goddess statue.
"May all good souls find happiness without shedding tears."
Fwosh—!
Golden light burst from the climbers' bodies. Even some in the Lord's forces glowed.
And soon after.
Someone checking their abilities shouted.
"Wh-what!? Upgraded... upgraded—!!"
"What, what!?"
"My normal ability went special-grade—!!"
"What—!?"
Then.
An enormous cheer erupted.
-Waaaaaaah—!
Dozens of nearby climbers roared.
"Waaaaaaah—! Special-grade upgrade!"
"M-me too, two normals to special!"
"Isn't this just for boss fighters!?"
"Sex!! Got a special-grade ability—!!"
"Insane! Fuck, this is huge—!"
"Gallery Lord's exp grind awakened us all!?"
Depending on each person's exp,
Upgradable abilities rose a rank.
Only normals, of course.
But averaged out, massive power boost.
'Basically low-end specials all hit Luciana level?'
From soldier to named—that gap was huge. Me, Niva, Aslan, Sword Empress all drew deep breaths. They were shocked too.
"!"
"!"
"!"
"!"
I asked Sword Empress,
"D-did rewards like this happen often?"
"No... At most ten people, and only boss participants. Depends on exp a lot... But thanks to Lord's daily quests—."
Everyone who fought here,
Including NPCs, awakened.
Aslan, already legendary with no gains, grinned ear to ear.
"Hahaha! What a fine morning for all!"
Niva muttered blankly,
"Handing out buffs like this... what's left for them?"
You all remain.
...as if saying that.
Another alert popped.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ World quest reward: Treasure-grade relic 'Reincarnation Husk'. "!?"
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Reward awarded to highest contributor 'Saintess'. "!"
Angela's eyes widened as she murmured,
"M-me!?"
The goddess statue in the sky shattered into sparkling light fragments, slowly fading. Leaving a small stone chunk in the pink-haired saintess's hand...
"Th-this."
Sanctuary Gades Banea fell quiet again.
Shattered temple,
Plains left with only white flowers.
But hope's light lingered there.
The people still held hope.
That was 52F's end.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ A few days later.
I gazed at the street blanketed in heavy snow from my room.
The villages near the sanctuary, Windmill Village and Watermill Village, buzzed with life. Everyone from the sanctuary had relocated there.
"..."
'To rebuild the sanctuary properly now, better raze it fully and start over.'
But couldn't just drop a meteor. First, they'd retrieve overlooked luggage from evacuation, survive winter, then reclamation works.
-All happened by the goddess's will, so the rest by Savior's will.
Thus, the provisional homes Windmill and Watermill Villages were festival-like rowdy daily. Partly thanks to the boss fight's generous rewards.
In the local tavern, climbers and NPCs gathered, drowning the cold winter in beer buzz.
-To the Gallery Lord—!
-To the Gallery Lord—!
-To the Gallery Lord—!
Clink!
Before long, even among NPCs,
'Gallery Lord' nickname spread by word of mouth.
'Climbers teaching weird shit.'
I sat awkwardly at my desk.
And examined the stone Angela handed over—the treasure-grade relic 'Reincarnation Husk'. Unlike the upgrade scroll, it took some time, but I figured its use.
【Reincarnation Husk】 One-time reincarnation into desired race, age, gender while retaining abilities and soul (removes all curses, demerits) 【Conditions: None】 This.
That thing, right?
Old dudes turning into cute high school girls.
'Climbers find out, total chaos.'
