The Human Saint is Bored, so I was Summoned to Another World

The Amaranthine Civil War (Part 1)

Thick smoke and dust obscured my vision, as I tried to make sense of what's happening around me. People were running around, screams were flying and the terrible sounds of battle resumed. I immediately looked at Maddie and noticed that she had a light wound on her forehead.

"Maddie?" I gently shook her. When she barely responded, I put my ear near her heart to make sure she's fine.

"D-Don't worry, Kuro. I could still move." I heard her say.

"Aaaarrrrggghhh!"

"!!!"

Amidst the smoke, the Ban of Kistral suddenly appeared, with his sword and wand drawn, ready to thrust it to Maddie's neck. The instinct to protect her took over me, and I put my body over her to shield her from the Ban's attack. I quickly grabbed the blade of his sword, wounding my hand. But I took a handful of sand and threw it in his eyes.

"Gaaah!" the Ban temporarily retreated to clear his vision. I wanted to come after him, but I had to protect Maddie.

However, he continued his attempt to kill her, "You're an evil saint, Madelaine Rubinforth! Die!" The Ban randomly swung his sword, nearly slashing my arm.

"What the hell's wrong with you, douchebag?" I blurted out. I could my entire body shaking, not because of fear, but out of sheer anger. He just tried to assassinate Maddie, and as her fiancée and guard, I won't let that happen!

"Madelaine Rubinforth should die!" was the only answer he could give me, "And I'll kill you as well; Eris is mine and mine alone!"

Well, will you look at that? All this time, this lolicon is with Eris...

His eyes must've stung when I threw those sand particles on his face, however, it's still dangerous to face the Ban. He blindly swung his sword and fired his magic spells in different directions. I wanted to subdue him, but I couldn't get in range...

...until now.

Seeing that he was just doing random movements, I quickly kicked his crotch and sent the Ban to the ground, writhing in pain. By this time, he had inadvertently dropped his sword, and he was weakened.

"You...damned commoner!" the Ban kept on cursing me, "I'll make sure you'll suffer in the afterlife!"

"Well, please, you fucker!" Enraged at his attempt to kill Maddie, I never hesitated to pick his sword, "I'll send you there immediately, so prepare for my arrival!" And then I buried its blade deep into his neck.

Blood splattered on my clothes as the Ban drowned on his own fluid. And then, as if cursing me to his death, he fixed his glare at me as he departed.

"..." I felt no remorse. Anyone who'd try to harm the girl I love would end up dead by my hands...

However, there's something strange that happened after that. Once the Ban was dead, a small red medallion came off from his neck and fell on the ground.

I don't know if it came from inside his body, or was he wearing it on his body, but anyway, I picked it up and hid it in my pocket.

----------

I quickly returned to Maddie—with the Ban's sword in my hand, to protect her from further assassination attempts. The battle was a confusing one, without a clear definition in which side stood, and the Saint was still stunned at the sudden turn of events.

"Maddie!" it was Lily's voice. Then a few moments later, she appeared through the dust, "Are you okay?"

"Yes...Lily? What happened?" Maddie's conscious, but she's still in a daze.
