The saintess was kneeling, her hands clasped together as if in prayer.
She was praying.
Even though she was just existing there, it felt like all the light in the world was converging upon her.
A woman stood there, as if she had been crafted from the purest essence of the Celestial Palace.
Her eyes, which appeared blue or pale green depending on the angle, sparkled like dew, filled with life.
Her hands, emerging from the nun’s robe that covered her entire body, were gently clasped in prayer.
Her skin, which could only be described as pale, almost ghostly white, radiated vitality with just a hint of warmth from the sunlight.
Holy particles, shimmering white, drifted around her and caressed the bridge of her sharp nose before dissolving into the air.
She stayed in that kneeling position for a long time, with her palms pressed together near her chest, simply existing in prayer.
Then, after some time had passed, she opened her deep, abyssal eyes, which seemed to be consumed by the color of the deepest ocean trench.
As she blinked, a radiant white light began to shine from her pupils and spread outward, soon enveloping the world.
As the white light expanded, wings made of light stretched out and flapped.
The goddess’s blessing descended upon her.
At that moment, a message appeared simultaneously to all 12 players in the game.
『Player “Saintess” has activated her ultimate skill!』
『Proclamation of the Earth Mother Gaia’s Domain.』
『As long as my daughter desires, the scythe of death shall not touch anyone on this land.』
『The goddess Gaia, who presides over the birth of life, has descended to the middle world in response to the desperate call of her child.』
『Gaia will immediately carry out the will of her daughter.』
『It is a power that makes even the laws of the Three Thousand Great Worlds take a step back!』
『As the souls that were supposed to enter the cycle of reincarnation return to their bodies, warriors who had forgotten death come back to life and raise their fighting spirit once again.』
『All deceased Blue Team players within a 100-meter radius of the player “Saintess” are revived with 45% health (modified by prayer time and related traits).』
『Players affected by this skill: Berserker, Witch Rebecca, Raintain, IveNeverExperiencedDeath, Cardinal Albert.』
[Cardinal Albert: Resurrection skill activated!!!!!!! ]
[Berserker: That b*tch finally pulls through, damn it.]
[IveNeverExperiencedDeath: I failed to parry and died, but damn, this carry is crazy! Is this a priest…? ]
[Witch Rebecca:.]
[Raintain: That b*tch came out to the frontlines! After this, I’ll make sure to give you some good grinding, you damn f***!]
[Saintess: Stop… stop the harassment…]
[Berserker: I don’t care, I’m pushing in! Full-on push!!!]
『Red Team has issued a bounty on player “Saintess” for her extraordinary performance.』
『The ‘Blood Guide’ Assassins have been dispatched.』
『The ‘Shadows of Astaroth’ assassination squad has been deployed.』
『Red Team’s second defense line has been breached.』
『As a result, the Empire’s strongest swordsman, “Yan,” has begun moving.』
『Yan, by imperial decree, will prioritize targeting the player “Saintess.”』
[Saintess: Can someone protect me…?]
[Berserker: Full-on push!!!! Just keep pushing, break everything!]
[Witch Rebecca: .]
[I’veNeverExperiencedDeath: Why would you protect a girl who moans ‘Heuuuung’ as soon as someone gets close?]
[Saintess: This harassment is too much!!!!!!!!!]
[Berserker: What the f*** is wrong with this b*tch today? Did I not beat her enough lately, and now she’s lost her mind? Want me to show you what a blade tastes like?]
[Cardinal Albert: *Screenshotting /Berserker/Controversy/Misogyny/Reasons why there are no female viewers in Berserker’s room.jpg. Got it! Kekeke.]
[Berserker: It’s not misogyny, it’s Netkama-hate, you bald-headed paladin bastard.]
[Cardinal Albert: Selling bald paladins!]
[Saintess: hiccup]
[Raintain: What kind of idiot types out ‘hiccup’ in the chat, you moron?]
[Saintess: Too much… too much… too much… too much… too much… too much… too much… too much… too much… too much… too much… too much… too much… too much… too much… too much…]
[Cardinal Albert: Could this all be the karma of the prostitute… I mean, the saintess?]
[Saintess: By the way, the NPC assassination squad is already here. Are you really not going to protect me? The enemy team’s hammer warrior is coming too… Where is everyone?]
[Berserker: If you hate it, then you be a warrior! We’re not retreating! Full-on charge, headlong into the core!!!!!!!]
[I’veNeverExperiencedDeath: Teacher… It’s good that the game ends quickly when you’re here… is it good…?]
[Witch Rebecca: .]
Roar-!!!
The berserker’s shout echoed through the breached castle gate, causing the Red Team soldiers to shrink back.
Above them, the barrage of the witch’s magic forced the opposing line to continuously retreat.
Just a moment ago, in a 6v6 battle, the Red Team had clearly won.
Lady Death visited a total of eight players, five of whom were from the Blue Team.
Though they managed to kill three, the Red Team still had three key players alive, including the sustained damage dealer, the Dark Warlock of Decay, leaving them in a position where they had no choice but to surrender the crucial objective.
Everyone thought the game had been decided at that moment, but it was the Saintess’s ultimate skill that turned the tide.
The player had chosen the main preset, “Devotee of Gaia,” and, depending on secondary traits, it took a minimum of three minutes to remain in place, praying through scripture-based puzzles, for the skill to even activate.
While there were many variants, the one thing all priest ultimates had in common was that they consumed every bit of mana the user had.
Although these ultimates could completely reverse a situation, they could easily be less effective than just spamming healing if used improperly.
Even now, if the saintess hadn’t risked her life in the middle of the battlefield, praying alone while surrounded by Red Team soldiers, the area of resurrection would have affected only one or two people at best.
This was a match where every player had an MMR rating between high Orange and Yellow 1–2.
Not a single player in the game was unaware that the saintess had a large-scale resurrection ability.
Yet, neither the Blue Team nor the Red Team expected her to summon Gaia.
Because everyone knew her playstyle.
She always sat in the backline, casting healing magic and occasionally using holy attack spells—a so-called “heal s*ave.”
Her healing skills were undeniable, given that she was mid-to-upper Yellow 1 and even challenged for Orange promotions on occasion.
But with her playstyle as a priest, she was not a player capable of creating unexpected plays on her own.
That was the common perception of the Saintess.
Who would have known?
That this Netkama, who had been stuck in the backline for 10 years, would have prepared such an adorable trick for the most crucial moment of this match.
In the late stages of the game, where victory would be decided, three Red Team players could not respawn due to the prolonged respawn timer.
The remaining three Red Team players were unable to hold off the five newly revived Blue Team players.
Aside from the fact that a hammer warrior with the nickname “Gwangdong Oh-hamma” ultimately broke through the formation and smashed the saintess’s head, it was a flawless and dramatic comeback victory for the Blue Team.
『The game has ended.
The Blue Team, the ‘Sephiroth’ Empire, has claimed victory!
The ‘Astaroth’ Empire will fade into the annals of history.
At least, in this dimension.』
『MVP = Most Valuable Player selection is approaching!
Here are the moments of “Play of the Game” from your match.
Watch carefully and vote for the play that shined the brightest, and the player who showed the most honor.
ᆞ However, you cannot vote for your own play.』
The highlights of the game were displayed to the 12 players.
It began with the plays from the losing Red Team.
An assassin, wearing a mask, using the skill “Shadow Hide” to avoid detection from ‘Danger Sense’ and ‘Magic Detection,’ killing both the witch and the saintess at the same time.
A warrior wielding a sharp spear, throwing it with a wide swing of the arm, skewering the berserker’s heart from a great distance.
In the final moments of the game, the hammer warrior ignoring the damage and charging forward, crushing the saintess’s skull.
The Blue Team had their fair share of moments as well.
The berserker unleashed “Wrath of the Undying,” swinging his enormous sword in wide arcs, sweeping through dozens of enemy soldiers and even one of the Red Team players.
The witch, flying around on a broomstick, threw a “Frog Transformation Potion” from the sky, canceling the Red Team mage player’s ultimate skill, “Meteor Shower.”
When a hole appeared in the Blue Team’s strategy, the bald paladin rallied a frightened soldier, charging forward to buy respawn time for fallen teammates before finally perishing gloriously.
And then…
『The game has ended. Team chat is now unlocked. Entering the global chatroom.』
[MyNameIsSoySauceCrab: GG, everyone.]
[Berserker: GG.]
[Raintain: GGLamerats.]
[GwangdongOh-hamma: GG.]

[Raintain: Then why didn’t you win? Nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh~~]
[I’veNeverExperiencedDeath: That was one epic match. There are so many POTG candidates.]
[Ryu: So what? The MVP is already decided, isn’t it?]
[Cardinal Albert: Teacher, who would that be? Perhaps me?]
[Berserker: Can someone stop my viewers? Newcomers are obsessed with clicking on the saintess character in the MVP screen to morph her body.]
[AlmostForty: HAHAHAHAHA.]
[Saintess: This is harassment…]
[AltToSnipeBerserker6: What’s that whore yapping about? Acting innocent when her body says otherwise.]
[AltToSnipeBerserker6: Look at my fantastic clicking skills! More! More! Shake those titties, gaylord! Make that MVP!]
[Berserker: I should’ve known from the spear throw. Stop sniping me, you asshole.]
[AltToSnipeBerserker6: Well, if there’s a whore over there, shouldn’t there be a gigolo here too, Mr. Kim Sang-hyun?]
[Berserker: Where do you live???]
[AlmostForty: In your heart…]
[MyNameIsSoySauceCrab: Hurry up and vote for MVP, time’s running out.]
[FishOnTheCuttingBoard: What the hell do you mean, you always have time, you only play games.]
[MyNameIsSoySauceCrab: I’m enlisting in the military soon.]
[Cardinal Albert: Ah…]
[FishOnTheCuttingBoard: ;;]
『The MVP has been chosen!
With a total of 11 votes, the ‘Saintess’ player has been selected as the star of this game!
The highlights of the ‘Saintess’ player’s performance have been recorded and can be viewed again in the “Best Plays” tab on the official Rainbow Tales community site.』
