#.167

It was when he was chasing Chris with magic. The pink chains shattered into pieces and disappeared.

“Ah, no.”

The chains breaking meant that something had happened to Chris.

So there was a high possibility that Emilia was also in a dangerous situation.

‘The kidnappers must be from the Order, so where Emilia would be is already decided.’

The materials needed for descent were death, blood, and a corrupted holy land.

The most sacred ground in this area was.

“Daniel Sanctuary.”

Francois increased his speed and reached Daniel Sanctuary in an instant.

Fear that something might happen to Emilia made his breath catch in his throat.

If, just if he was too late…

‘No. That won’t happen.’

He couldn’t even imagine it. He didn’t want to imagine it.

He desperately prayed to God for hope.

Perhaps because he offered a prayer he had never made before, when Francois reached Daniel Sanctuary, Emilia had lost consciousness but was still breathing.

“Emilia! Emilia!”

He urgently embraced Emilia, sobbing as he checked her condition.

Tears fell drop by drop, melting the dried blood that flowed. He pressed on her wrist while casting healing magic.

“Emilia, please… just hold on a little. Just a little…”

“That woman is destined to die here today.”

With the sound of footsteps, the Ritualist appeared from behind.

Francois didn’t spare a single glance toward the Ritualist and continued his healing magic.

But healing magic wasn’t omnipotent.

Since it was inevitably weaker than divine power or healing-type abilities, even with all his effort, it was only first aid.

‘Lilliana, I need to take her to Lilliana.’

Lilliana’s ability was to create miracles and grant life force.

Recovery and healing were also included, so Lilliana would be able to save Emilia.

Francois hurriedly stood up while holding Emilia. Then the Ritualist twisted his lips and blocked his way.

“Lord Razas has commanded that woman’s death. So I cannot let you go like this.”

“Get out of the way.”

It was a chillingly cold voice that couldn’t be found in his usual gentle demeanor.

“I think I know what you’re thinking. You’re planning to take her to the Holy Maiden’s sister. But it’s too late.”

Francois’s brow twitched. The Ritualist explained with an ecstatic smile.

“By the time you arrive, Lord Razas will have already devoured that child.”

As soon as the Ritualist’s mockery ended, magic power burst from Francois.

The sharply honed magic power tried to pierce the Ritualist’s chest, but the fragment given by Razas activated and nullified the magic.

The power contained in the fragment was absorbed into the Ritualist.

Dark energy rippled around the Ritualist.

“Soon the time will come when the dead will live and the living will fall to hell. The Holy Maiden will be the first to be thrown into hell—”

Bang! Crack!

The explosion caused by Francois engulfed the Ritualist.

The Ritualist, who protected his body with dark energy, grinned and summoned a horned goat from the air.

Eyes and mouths sprouted all over the goat’s body, and whenever the eyes rolled around, the teeth in the mouths clacked together making eerie sounds.

The goat lowered its head so its horns could easily pierce through bodies, drooling as it charged at Francois.

“I told you to get out of the way.”

Like when Razas descended, a giant golden arrow struck down from the sky.

The arrow precisely pierced the goat’s waist and pinned it to the ground.

Black fluid with floating eyes and mouths flowed out between the split waist.

“Kieeeek!”

A strange death cry spread from the goat. The atmosphere rang and acrid gas flowed out.

When Francois gestured, another golden arrow struck and completely shattered the head.

“Impressive. No wonder Lord Razas had no choice but to covet your body.”

As he absorbed power from the fragment, the Ritualist’s skin turned purple.

He wielded the fragment’s power to deal with Francois who was trying to move with magic.

Then the fluid from the goat stretched long, becoming tentacles with eyes and mouths that rushed at Francois.

Bang!

“…Damn.”

The magic he used to kill the goat didn’t work.

When the tentacles were hit by arrows, they would tear off the hit parts and recombine to charge again.

When he caused explosions, they would squirm and clump together, then recover perfectly again.

There was no time. He had to save Emilia and Lilliana.

Dozens of forearm-sized arrows shot from beside Francois.

Several times they burst eyeballs, but the mouths on the black tentacles crunched and gnawed the arrows.

The situation wasn’t good. He hesitated for a moment, then put Emilia down and cast a protective barrier.

“I’ll finish this quickly.”

Hundreds and thousands of formulas flashed through Francois’s golden eyes.

Golden afterimages remained in the air following his gestures. In an instant, the incantations he had omitted flowed out word by word as if being carved.

“A mere mage can never defeat Lord Razas who has descended to earth— Kheok!”

The Ritualist who was mocking Francois suddenly coughed up blood and hurriedly checked his own body.

His chest was pierced. By the hand of a priest who had flown from behind.

“How, how is this…”

The priest who was the sanctuary caretaker had long ago had his body stolen by Razas through black holy water.

“I tried imitating Razas.”

Francois, who had been eroded by Razas for a long time, used the blessings he had received from Emilia to conversely erase Razas who was lodged in the priest’s mind.

Then he dealt with the Ritualist through the priest.

“Kugh, cough! Kheugh.”

The Ritualist painfully twisted his whole body and collapsed. At the same time, the priest’s body became black dust and disappeared.

Kuaaaang! Bang! Kubang!

Daniel Sanctuary shook from the magic explosion infused with blessings.

The ground split, trees fell, and stones flew about.

The black tentacles with eyes and mouths withered miserably, turning to ash with a rustling sound.

At the same time, thick smoke and terrible stench filled the sanctuary.

However, thanks to the protective barrier, Emilia wasn’t affected at all.

When the tentacles completely disappeared, Francois quickly returned to Emilia.

“Ah, no.”

But her complexion was paler than before. Her pulse was too weak and her hands were cold.

Francois ran to Waldrafen Estate, terrified and sobbing.

To visit suddenly at this hour, something big must have happened to Chris.

With an uneasy feeling, I went to find Antonio and Edgar who were in the next room.

“Chris came just now, and it seems like something happened.”

“Chris did?”

“She’s not the type to come without notice.”

We all decided to go down to the first floor together to meet Chris.

When we reached the drawing room, my older brother was having a conversation with Chris.

“Lilliana often talks about you. I heard you’re very good at using magic.”

“I try hard because I want to do well, but I’m not outstanding. Thank you for looking at me so favorably.”

“You’re kind and humble too.”

Antonio threw open the drawing room door wide and shouted.

“Hey, Chris! What brings you here? This is the first time you’ve come to visit.”

Chris whipped around to look at us.

Whether it was because of the sunset light streaming in from the window, his pale skin from studying only in his room looked flushed red.

I hurriedly grabbed Antonio who was striding forward to put Chris in a headlock.

“Why?”

I stared intently at Chris. He was definitely the usual Chris. His appearance, expression, and eyes too.

But something, a very subtle sensation, grated on my nerves.

I had felt this sensation long ago.

Even when I grew tall and new memories piled up layer by layer, burying childhood memories at the very bottom, I hadn’t forgotten.

“Protagonist’s Older Brother. Come to think of it, Edgar was crying and looking for you, so you should go quickly.”

“Edgar? I thought he was playing with the twins.”

Protagonist’s Older Brother was dangerously close.

I had to evacuate Protagonist’s Older Brother first. Besides, there were three young children in this house.

Edgar, who had been following behind, also seemed to sense something and quietly slipped out into the corridor.

Edgar would evacuate the children and Liliana.

“You noticed.”

As Protagonist’s Older Brother started to get up, Lazarus smiled disgustingly and despicably with my innocent friend’s face.

The eerily beautifully folded eyes and lips curling up grotesquely were horrifying.

Power crackled from my hands.

“Lazarus…!”

Just as Protagonist’s Older Brother tried to quickly dodge, the magic power Lazarus created hurled Protagonist’s Older Brother against the wall.

As soon as Protagonist’s Older Brother crashed into the wall, magic power sharpened like a blade flew toward Protagonist’s Older Brother’s heart.

“No!”
