Female priests: Can pastors only be bullied?

"This incident happened two weeks ago. When I heard that monsters had invaded my manor, I immediately announced that anyone who could eliminate the monsters in the city would be rewarded with 500 gold coins."

"After that, many adventure teams appeared, but none of them were a match for the monster, and many people were even killed or injured."

"After a while, everyone knew how difficult this task was. Even if the reward was raised to 700 gold coins, no one dared to take on the task easily."

"So I had no choice but to find you. You are the heroes chosen by God to save the world. You must have a way to eliminate that monster."

In the lord's castle, East, who was sitting on the lord's chair, said to the team of heroes standing below with a sad face.

After understanding the whole cause and effect of the matter, Elphis nodded.

"But this may be artificially manipulated. When we arrived at the gate of the manor, we looked around and found that the walls surrounding the town were very smooth. Unless there were wing-shaped monsters or earthworm monsters, they would not be able to enter the city at all."

"Those who like to eat cattle and sheep generally don't belong to these two categories, so there is a high probability that someone deliberately opened the city gate to allow this monster to invade the city."

Listening to Elphis's analysis, the old lady sitting on the chair couldn't help but change her expression.

"You...what you said is true? This...was this planned by someone?"

"Then why did she do this? I haven't offended anyone..."

"I can't be sure about this, but I think the probability is higher. After all, monsters that only eat cattle and sheep are usually land creatures."

"Do you have any pictures of monsters?"

Hearing this, East shook his head, lowered his eyes and said sadly:

"We don't know what this monster looks like. According to those explorers, it is impossible to see the monster clearly."

Elphis nodded. Although she felt a little regretful that she couldn't see what the monster looked like, she thought that even if she didn't know what it looked like, it would not pose any threat to her.

"Okay, I understand. Now let's start planning and deploying the operation to eliminate the monsters."

She turned around, waved her hand and shouted to the four heroes standing behind her.

Ito was a little nervous. This was his first time facing such a strange creature as a monster. As a priest, he did not have extraordinary fighting ability, so he did not need to rush to the front.

But since Elphis is so powerful, there shouldn't be any accidents...

"Okay, Ito, let's start preparing quickly. Don't hold us back when the time comes."

Anna leaned closer to Ito and whispered.

Ito looked at Anna with some fear, feeling extremely bitter in his heart. This woman would talk to him whenever she had time, making him nervous every time for fear of saying something wrong and being retaliated against by her behind his back.

"Okay...Okay...Anna..."

He nodded helplessly and spoke in a low voice.

Lucy looked at the two people who were almost sticking together with some confusion in her eyes.

It’s really strange, are Anna and Ito so close?

...

...

Time soon came to night.

The lights in the town have gone out, and only the faint moonlight can provide a glimmer of light.

In order to determine the location where the monster appeared, they concentrated all the cattle and sheep in the town on the largest pasture.

If any monster appears tonight, it will definitely be here.

Anna stood on a towering tree canopy far away from the ranch. With the help of the luminous magic glasses, even in the dark, Anna could still clearly see every move on the ranch.

And in the dark corner of the ranch were the four people including Elphis who had been buried long ago.

Elphis stood at the front, scanning the empty pasture vigilantly. If any monster appeared, she would take action immediately.

Behind her was Charlotte with her fiery red hair and wheat-colored skin.

His tall figure can bring a sense of security to people by protecting Lucy and Ito who have no close combat ability behind him.

"Ito, this is your first time officially participating in a battle, so you must remember to wait and see when we attack, and if you see someone injured, you must treat them immediately."

Lucy's face would turn red whenever she got nervous, but even so she still remembered to give careful instructions to Ito who was standing beside her.

Ito also nodded nervously, swallowed his saliva, and was extremely tense, his eyes constantly looking ahead.

As time passed, a dangerous and serious atmosphere gradually spread throughout the ranch.

Anna in the distance suddenly noticed a huge black shadow moving rapidly towards the ranch, and she instantly realized that this was the monster.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, conveying the news of the monster's appearance to Elphis.

Suddenly, a small grass grew out of the grass in front of Elphis. Seeing this, Elphis became alert instantly, because the appearance of this small grass was Anna's hint to her that the monster had appeared.

"The monster has appeared now. Everyone, be on guard. Once Anna makes her move, it will be our turn! Remember to follow the plan!"

"Ito! Give me buffs for speed and attack now!"

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Ito quickly walked forward and placed his hands behind Elphis' back, and Xuanji began to gain a series of positive effects for her.

Soon the shadow monster broke through the ranch fence and appeared in the open grassland. In the factory behind the grassland were all the cattle and sheep in the town.

If Eliphis' plan fails, all the cattle and sheep in the factory will be killed. The consequences are simply unimaginable, and we must ensure that we can capture the opponent.

The monster stopped, and Anna was finally able to see its appearance clearly.

He is tall and dark-skinned, with two large horns on his head and a circle of hair on his neck. Standing upright under the moonlight, he looks like a standing minotaur.

(Refer to Genshin Impact Giant Qiu Qiu Renヽ(?~?)?)

Anna took out a bow and arrow from her back and aimed the arrow precisely at the minotaur.

Swah——

The next moment, a sharp arrow containing poison was shot out from the bow, cutting through the air and rushing towards the huge figure madly.

"As long as nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely be hit by an arrow."

Anna thought to herself.

The unaware minotaur was looking around in confusion, as if he was looking for cattle and sheep.

Suddenly, it felt an alarm bell ringing behind it, and its huge body responded with stress the next moment.

It dodged the arrow that was aimed at it, and the sharp spear head pierced straight into the soft ground.

"That guy... at the critical moment..."

Elphis frowned, and the next moment her legs burst out with powerful force. She grabbed the big sword with both hands and rushed towards the minotaur at an unnoticeable speed from the darkness.

The minotaur who had just dodged an attack never expected that the next attack would be so quick. Even though he was aware of the danger, he couldn't avoid it.

Swah——

puff-

Elphis passed through the Minotaur's figure, and as the sharp blade flashed, the next moment the Minotaur's left leg was cut straight off.

puff-

The huge body suddenly fell to the ground and the minotaur whimpered in pain.

"This thing... is so hard..."

Elphis steadied his body, raised his greatsword and looked at the minotaur who only had a broken left leg, and murmured solemnly.

If it were any monster in the past, it would have been killed by this attack of hers long ago.

The minotaur roared, then stood up suddenly from his kneeling position, his scarlet eyes fixed on Elphis in front of him as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.

"Humph, you're just a monster, and you dare to look at me like that, you rubbish."

"Roar--!"

The minotaur screamed loudly and then rushed towards Elphis.

But at this moment, a tornado-shaped flame suddenly appeared on its side.

Because of the missing left leg, the Minotaur had no chance to react and was instantly engulfed by flames.

Lucy held the magic wand in her hand and looked at the minotaur wrapped in flames with a pale face.

The fire attack just now consumed a lot of her magical energy.

"Lucy are you okay now?"
