Banishment is Fine: As a Genius Saint, I Can Shine Anywhere. - Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2:  Episode 1.1

The day quickly turned to night as they went around placing the written talismans.

Meteora spread out the paper she brought on the temple floor, which was beginning to sprout grass, cut it into palm-sized pieces, and quickly wrote protective spells on them. Once finished, she handed a talisman to each knight, saying, “Here, this is for you.”

“Thanks! It’s been months since I had a new talisman.” “And the writing is so shiny. I’ve never worn such a powerful talisman before.”

The knights under Lionel’s command expressed relief and excitement as they removed their cloaks and boots, sticking the talismans inside them.

Lionel also received a new talisman and applied it to all his gear, just like the others. With these talismans, they could withstand monster poison, high falls, and miasma-filled areas.

Look at the quality of this talisman!

Lionel marveled at the talisman as he placed it inside his cloak and glanced at Saintess Meteora. He was impressed.

Without taking a break after finishing the talismans, Meteora called each knight to check for injuries or ailments.

Having been on border duty for almost a year, each knight had their own issues. She quickly healed both visible and hidden injuries with a light wave of her staff, the symbol of her sainthood.

“My body hasn’t felt this light in months…!” “Thank you so much, Saintess!”

The knights expressed their gratitude enthusiastically, but Meteora just nodded, as if it were only natural.

“If it’s just minor injuries, I can heal them anytime. Let me know if anything happens.” “You’re too dependable, Saintess…!”

The knights were moved to tears. In this remote area, with limited supplies, the presence of the talented and self-proclaimed Saintess was a true blessing.

We need a couple of people dedicated to protecting her in future battles.

Lionel stroked his chin, considering their future arrangements. However, he also thought that with her ability to create powerful barriers that could repel monster poison, having less skilled guards might be more of a hindrance.

“Saintess Meteora is truly remarkable.” “Indeed. After witnessing her abilities, I can’t deny that.”

Lionel nodded at the words of Deputy Captain Segin, who arrived with water and food.

Deputy Captain Segin, who had a mustache, smiled as he looked at Meteora.

“I always thought that the central temple’s saints and priests were arrogant because of their divine blessings, so it’s a relief to know there’s someone like her.” “I understand that sentiment. It’s hard to believe there was someone like her in the central temple too.”

Lionel nodded slowly while also looking at Meteora. 

In the Holy Kingdom of Sarta, protected by the Divine Tree, about one in five hundred people are born with a mysterious power called “divine blessing.”

This “divine blessing” includes powers like healing injuries and diseases, creating barriers to protect against harm, writing talismans with protective power, and enhancing physical strength.

Those with these powers are called “priests” if they are male and “saintesses” if they are female.
