"Fanatics? Or is it the mentally abnormal kind? Looking at the opponent in front of him, Richelieu really didn't know what to say...... Although she had heard that Europe had been the hardest hit area by the invasion of the deep sea, so the belief in gods and goddesses had gradually been replaced again, and there was an intensifying posture, but she really didn't expect to meet such a strange person today.

"Ah, I really am, since they are all fanatics, how can the spirit be normal...... But in this case, I guess her characteristic is [Crazy Faith]. Richelieu analyzed the data of her opponent in her heart, whether she was a fanatic or mentally ill, no matter how she said that the strength of the SS level was real, so Richelieu was not careful.

I don't know if it was because of the imminent life-and-death duel, Edithy's originally amber eyes were gradually covered with the same layer of blood red, and at the same time, she also took out a special weapon from her carry-on space...... A pair of crutches.

This I-shaped weapon resembles a cane, which is more suitable for close-fitting combat than ordinary wooden sticks, and because of its grip and force, it will be quite painful to hit people...... Even the weapon that Edith had brought out was not a traditional wooden one, and the sheen that appeared on the crutch was clearly made of stainless steel. Based on the thickness of the object, Richelieu estimated that each of them weighed nearly 20 kilograms, to say the least...... She didn't want to take a hit anyway!

"What a nasty guy......" Edith took out her weapon as if she had changed into a different person, if she was just a little nervous just now, then Edith at this time was completely like a beast that had lost her mind.

Almost instantly, she crossed the distance of more than ten meters between the two, raised her crutches high and smashed them on Richelieu's forehead, and Richelieu raised her knife to block it with a conscious ...... With the crisp sound of "dang", the power coming from the command knife immediately made Richelieu feel his arm numb.

Edith's strength is great, in fact, a ship girl like her, who is good at close combat, usually has a good strength attribute, so she continued to press Richelieu's command knife down with her arms, and the weapons rubbed against each other to make a tooth-aching sound. Richelieu reckoned that if it hadn't been for the ship's outfit that had come with her, it would have broken into several knots by this time.

And at the next moment, the muzzles of the cannons suspended behind Edith suddenly aligned with Richelieu, and several main guns, almost unprepared, opened fire at the same time...... With such close shelling, Edith was completely exposed to the impact of the artillery fire. But...... She didn't care at all.

The attribute of [Crazy Faith] allows her to completely ignore the effects of injuries and pain, and at the same time, she can increase her own strength according to the injury...... If there is a restriction on duration at the S-rank, then after the SS-class, this trait will never be canceled out unless she dies completely.

The impact of the artillery fire made her retreat at once, and as the smoke cleared, Richelieu, whose uniform was tattered and had a few more abrasions on her body, reappeared in some embarrassment. Compared with the appearance of the saint before, now her face is blackened, and she looks like a clown.

"Hahahaha!" Edith laughed out loud, she knew that her shelling would not cause much damage, after all, for various reasons, she had read Richelieu's information over and over again, and combined with her own situation, she could guess about her SS-level ability, but ...... What's so about it? Seeing her so embarrassed, Ediths felt it was worth it.

"You...... Angered me! The ridicule from her opponent finally broke Richelieu's usual peace of mind, she had never met an opponent who made her disgusting, not even the deep-sea ships that had almost put her in danger so many times that she didn't know how many times, but now......

Enraged, Richelieu was undoubtedly terrifying, even if an enemy like Edith was her most intractable...... Indeed, Edith's physical skill Richelieu could not be purified. It was difficult for her to counteract the ultra-close shelling that completely ignored herself, and she was not even afraid of being hurt, she was quite a headache from any point of view, but Richelieu still had her own way.

Shelling! Or shelling! Before Edith could close the distance again, Richelieu manned the ship's suit and launched a cannonball on her, so close to each other that she didn't need to aim or miss, and most importantly, Richelieu only controlled the shelling of a cannon barrel......

This is a bit of a strange thing, and it is impossible to pose any threat to Edith with this firepower, or even to break the layer of protection on her body, and I am afraid that the only effect is the purifying power that overflows when the cannonball explodes, and Richelieu takes advantage of it to fly back.

But Richelieu seemed to have made up his mind. The ship's guns were equipped with several muzzles that took turns to fire their guns, turning the battlefield into a fireworks show, while maintaining a perfect distance between herself and Edith.

"Archbishop! Is that all you have to do?! What a disappointment for me...... Disappoint me! Edith's voice was as piercing as a roar in a desperate situation, so much so that it completely drowned out the roaring sound of the cannon and went directly into Richelieu's ears.

The next moment the cannon rang out again, but this time it was not Richelieu who fired the cannon...... Similar to her, Edith quickly moved to the left with the help of the momentum caused by the cannon fire. At the last moment, Richelieu managed to dodge this attack, and she was too late to turn the muzzle of the gun......

"Got you!" Reaching her speed to the limit, Edith, who burst into front of Richeliu from the side, raised her crutches again, intending to do so.

"I guess I caught you......" The smile on Richelieu's face made Edith's heart froze, but she couldn't stop at this time...... "Do you really think I was just wasting cannonballs?" Bathed in the power of purification, you don't feel the slightest difference? For example...... Your eyes aren't as red as they were now! ”

The power of purification is not a panacea, at least it cannot restore things that have no attributes, or have positive attributes. For example, the pair of crutches made of pure steel in Edith's hand and the good qualities of loyalty and integrity do not work at all, after all, the essence of this ability is purification, not erasure.

But the benefit of this is that it can have a double or even multiple effect when facing more negative energies and emotions, like deep-sea dwelling ships and those negative emotions...... And fanatical belief is definitely an extra layer of fanaticism and madness on top of pious faith......

What you believe is good, but the rest is not...... So Richelieu set his goal directly on it.

Seeing Edith rushing towards him, Richelieu picked up the Lorraine cross in his hand and put it on Edith's chest first, and in an instant, the ankh symbolizing freedom suddenly burst out with a rich light, and the frenzy on Edith's face, which was shrouded in it, gradually faded, and was replaced by a full of unwillingness......

"After purification, [Crazy Faith] will become the so-called [Pious Faith], but it doesn't matter what it is, anyway, the nature of the characteristics has changed, and you will never be able to use the strength above A level without a few days of adaptation, right~~ So, I won this time!"
