"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 down on Richelieu's forehead. Risse raised his knife in his consciousness to block it...... With the crisp sound of "dang", the power coming from the command knife immediately made Richelieu feel his arm numb.

Edith has a lot of power. In fact, a ship girl like her, who is good at close combat, usually has a good strength attribute, so she continues to press Richelieu's command knife down with continuous force with her arms, and the weapons rub against each other to make a tooth-sour sound, Richelieu estimates that if this knife was not a ship that came to this world with her, I am afraid that it would have broken into several knots at 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 completely put herself under 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 still a restriction on the duration at the time of the S-rank. Then after reaching the SS rank, unless she dies completely, then this trait will never be canceled out.

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 a little embarrassed, and compared to the appearance of the saint before, she now looked like a clown with a blackened face.

"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 his opponent finally broke Richelieu's peaceful state of mind. She had never met an opponent who was disgusting, not even the deep-sea ships that had nearly put her in danger so many times that she had been disgusted to that extent, 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's hard for her to counteract the ultra-close-range bombardment that doesn't care about herself, and she doesn't even fear getting hurt, she's a pretty headache from any point of view. But Richelieu still has his own way.

Shelling! Or shelling! Before Edith could close the distance again, Richelieu manned her and launched a cannonball attack on her. They were so close to each other that they didn't have to aim or miss, and most importantly, Richelieu was only using a cannon barrel to launch the bombardment......

This is a bit bizarre. This firepower alone is completely impossible to pose any threat to Edith, or even break the layer of protection on her body, and I am afraid that the only effect is that the purifying power that overflows when the cannonball explodes, plus Richelieu will fly back.

However, as if she had made up her mind, Richelieu took turns firing several guns on the ship, turning the battlefield into a fireworks display 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 of the cannon fire, and managed to dodge Richelieu's attack at the last moment, but it was too late for her to turn the muzzle......

"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, such as the pair of crutches made of pure steel in Edithy's hand, and the good qualities such as loyalty and integrity, which are completely useless, 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!"
