Reincarnated as a Holy Nun, I Refuse to Lose! v2c86

Chapter 86: Sudden Battle

[New Map Unlocked]

[The Far South]

[Main Mythical Species Distribution: Giants, Dragons, Angels…]

Luo Yuxi looked at the map, which resembled the Three Kingdoms. She zoomed out and saw Apal, a world away.

“Apal is in the center of the Church’s territory, how did those fairies send me to the Far South?!”

Luo Yuxi looked at the distance on the map, which spanned half an ocean. She hadn’t even visited this place in the game. Even the Witch Kingdom was two seas away.

“This place was only mentioned in the backstory, it wasn’t even implemented in the game. Even the Land of Blood is better than this…”

Luo Yuxi looked at her empty coin purse and the teapot in her hand. Her clothes were still the ones the teapot spirit had made for her. She was back to square one.

“The Church should have an outpost here. Maybe I can get the Saintess to pick me up…”

Luo Yuxi pushed aside the tall grass, the trees here much larger than normal. She looked at the map, which showed the locations of the three main races.

“Although I don’t have much information, dragons are arrogant and look down on other races. If Bishop Vitonena were here, she might be able to introduce me…”

If she approached them alone, she would probably be eaten. After all, Vitonena had only made a contract with a dragon after defeating its challenger. Luo Yuxi, a mere 10th Order, couldn’t possibly defeat a dragon.

“Giants…? No, no, that giant girl was probably just a child. If I go there, I might get stepped on…”

Luo Yuxi shuddered at the thought of the giant girl’s oppressive presence. She looked at the map again, at the location of the angels.

“Angels? I could try. I remember they don’t refuse beautiful things. And their size should be similar, right~?”

Luo Yuxi set her course and headed towards the angel territory, unaware that she would soon regret her decision. Any race that could coexist with giants and dragons wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

“Why is it taking so long? It didn’t look that far on the map…”

Luo Yuxi rested under a tree, exhausted. She had been walking for half a day and still hadn’t reached the edge of the giant territory. Suddenly, the familiar tremor returned. She quickly hid behind a tree as four or five giant shadows passed overhead.

“The hunt was poor today…”

“Yeah, it’s those damn dragons. Next time I see one, I’ll rip off its wings!”

“By the way, have you seen Mana?”

“Probably playing somewhere. She’ll come back when she’s bored…”

…

Luo Yuxi relaxed as the giants passed. She could hear their conversation clearly, even from a distance. She looked at the towering mountains, which were just small hills compared to the giants.

“Such amazing bodies. If they fought witches, who would be stronger…?”

As Luo Yuxi was about to continue her journey, the ground shook again. She thought the giants had returned and was about to hide when a deafening roar echoed through the forest.

“!!!!”

ROAR! ROAR!!!

Luo Yuxi covered her ears, then looked up and saw a lion-like beast with a bull’s horns, its red eyes fixed on her. Its massive body was as big as the young giant she had seen earlier.

“No way, is it after me…?”

[Lion-Bull Beast]

[Physical Strength: 6th Order]

[Ability Strength: 9th Order]

[Omnivorous monster. Adults can reach 17 meters in height, their massive bodies capable of shattering mountains. When extremely hungry, they hunt small monsters in the forest.]

Luo Yuxi looked at the panel, thinking, This monster’s physical strength is only on par with the senior nuns I’ve seen? With its size, I would have believed it was 2nd Order.

“Not good, I’m going to die…”

Luo Yuxi knew she couldn’t outrun it. The beast stomped its foot, and Luo Yuxi barely dodged, the shockwave almost knocking her off her feet.

“How am I supposed to fight this? I can’t run, and I can’t win…”

The thought of being crushed by such an ugly beast was unbearable. She would have preferred to be stepped on by the beautiful giant girl.

[Divine Art: Holy Flame]

“I always forget to learn some offensive skills. When I need them, I have nothing…”

Luo Yuxi regretted her choices as white flames engulfed her body. Although the flames were hot, the surrounding trees were unaffected. The beast, seeing the flames, instinctively felt fear, but looking at Luo Yuxi’s small body, it roared again.

“A beast is a beast, so what if it’s strong? I’ll burn your soul first!”

Luo Yuxi charged at the beast, but it simply lowered its head and charged back. The impact sent Luo Yuxi flying, crashing through a thick tree.

“Ugh… ugh… ugh…”

Luo Yuxi felt a numbness, then excruciating pain. She couldn’t even speak, only blood trickling from her lips. Her body wouldn’t respond.

“I can’t speak… are all my bones broken…?”

Luo Yuxi looked at the approaching beast, her mind racing, but her body was paralyzed. She struggled to gather her strength.

[Divine Art: Heal]

“Cough, cough! I can finally speak! That hurt!”

A green light enveloped her, her bones snapping back into place. She coughed up blood and stood up, leaning against a tree stump. The beast, seeing her stand up, hesitated, surprised that such a weak creature could survive its attack.

“That hurt so much I almost couldn’t cast Heal. But since it’s like this, I’ll just have to wear it down. I’ll definitely deplete your health bar!”

Luo Yuxi wiped the blood from her lips.

“Is this what it feels like to be an adventurer in another world? I’m getting excited! Although it hurts, I’m not the same person I was before!!”

Luo Yuxi’s body glowed with golden light. The beast, seeing its prey stand up again, didn’t hesitate, charging again.

“ROAR!!!”

“Come on!!”

Luo Yuxi felt the wind pressure from the beast’s charge, pushing her back. If she took another direct hit, she would be turned into a pancake. But she had to try.

BAM!
