“What…!”
Feliks hurriedly leaped backward.
A massive axe embedded itself where he had been standing.
When I saw the fluttering black hair, I thought it might be Bizra.
But the moment the woman raised her head, I met eyes with pitch-black pupils.
Eyes that burned fiercely with anger, unsuited to her chillingly beautiful face.
“Hey.”
Rough words flew toward Feliks, who was frowning because he couldn’t tell who she was.
“Don’t dodge. Just quietly offer your neck.”
“…What?”
“How dare a piece of trash like you try to kill my friend?”
Joo Hyun-jin gripped the axe tightly with both hands.
“I will definitely kill you myself.”
She charged at Feliks once again.
Two different black auras writhed.
Feliks clicked his tongue irritably at the fiercely flying axe.
He didn’t know who she was, but one thing was certain.
This woman was the Holy Maiden of the Annihilation God.
He didn’t know where she had suddenly appeared from, but her nullification ability was just as annoying as the Sun God’s purification.
Slash!
At that moment, a sword strike flying from behind cut Feliks’s hem.
If he had dodged even a moment later, his thigh would have been severed.
“You can’t just focus on one side.”
It was Lute Sieri.
The Holy Maiden of the Annihilation God was already annoying enough, but with Lute Sieri joining in, he began to be gradually pushed back.
Especially since Lute Sieri’s attacks were strangely effective against him.
‘Why?’
Even if it was a sword imbued with the Sun God’s divine power, this didn’t make sense.
And this irritation.
It wasn’t like this until recently, so why now.
Crash!
“Ugh!”
At that moment, lightning struck down on him.
His body stiffened from the unexpected attack.
Looking down quickly, he saw Ordel smiling while being supported by Airic.
That bastard!
Slash, slash!
Before he could even deploy a barrier, the axe and sword simultaneously slashed his body.
His right arm, half-severed by the axe, dangled loosely.
Having consumed much strength healing the wound at his waist, he couldn’t reattach his right arm immediately.
“Lute Sieri. Can’t you even cut off one measly leg? Is that all the skill amounts to from someone who boasted about being the Empire’s greatest magic swordsman?”
Joo Hyun-jin clicked her tongue at the long gash remaining on Feliks’s thigh.
Lute frowned.
“Says the one who couldn’t cut off an arm much thinner than a leg. That fierce axe of yours is wasted.”
“Ah, then let’s bet on who cuts off that bastard’s limbs first.”
Even stronger divine power gathered on Joo Hyun-jin’s axe.
Lute also unleashed golden-tinged gray sword energy.
A hair-trigger situation.
“Both of you, don’t fight.”
Along with a gentle voice that didn’t match the situation, lightning struck once more.
“Cha Siwon!”
Joo Hyun-jin’s face scrunched up.
Airic came up the stairs while carrying Ordel.
Just stay in the back and heal wounds!
Airic, why did that bastard bring the injured girl all the way here!
“Move instead of quarreling.”
The first person to react to Ordel’s command-like words was Lute.
He unleashed attacks on Feliks at high speed.
Having been struck by lightning and suffering deep wounds on his limbs, Feliks’s movements had become considerably sluggish.
Feliks clicked his tongue.
‘Three troublesome ones!’
Purification, nullification, and attacks that strangely wounded him effectively!
If he had faced them one by one, he would have killed them all long ago!
‘If only it weren’t for the Annihilation God’s Holy Maiden!’
Feliks, who had parried Lute’s sword, glared at Joo Hyun-jin while gritting his teeth.
Where the hell did that bastard come from?
He hadn’t heard that the Annihilation God had a Holy Maiden.
The longer time passed like this, the more disadvantageous it became for him.
Though humiliating, he had to make a decision now.
Vicious poison spewed from Feliks’s entire body.
It wasn’t an amount that could be purified instantly, so everyone hurriedly distanced themselves from him.
“…God shall punish you bastards.”
He spread both arms.
The power of ‘Evil’ and his magic power slowly began to resonate.
He originally had no outstanding magical talent.
However, from the moment he accepted the power of the god who chose him, his meager talent swelled, and he was able to become one of the Empire’s leading mages.
The Emperor and Empress rejoiced that the Crown Prince’s talent had finally blossomed, and he secretly killed the Imperial Mages who had exposed his incompetence.
Now no one knew the truth about him.
For the god who had saved him from becoming a worm, Feliks could do anything.
Even the destruction of the Empire.
Rumble!
The banquet hall, no, the sky itself roared.
At the ominous sound, all those who had been fighting for their lives stopped moving.
“…Wh-what is this!”
The priests reacted first.
Everyone’s faces turned pale at the chilling aura of ‘Evil’.
“Po-powerful magic power from outside!”
The mages reacted next.
At the ominous situation, Joo Hyun-jin immediately raised her axe and charged at Feliks, but.
Bang!
The heavily layered aura of ‘Evil’ could not be penetrated.
Through the pitch-black aura, Feliks looked at her and grinned wickedly.
“Now isn’t the time to worry about me.”
“What?”
The moment Joo Hyun-jin’s eyes widened.
“O-outside! In the sky!”
Monica, who had been treating the injured outside the banquet hall, ran in with a pale face.
“Meteors, no, demons are falling from the sky!”
…What did she say?
Everyone who had been fighting together glared at Feliks.
However, he was gradually disappearing along with the black aura.
“Try to handle this well. If you survive here, then I’ll properly kill you.”
“No! Stop him!”
The moment Ordel tried to use her divine power.
A chilling aura enveloped the four people.
Ah, this isn’t Feliks’s power.
Not the power that a mere human had received, but the aura of ‘Evil’ itself.
‘Evil’ was taking Feliks away.
“Running away, you shameless bastard!”
“I wonder how many will survive.”
Hahahaha!
Completely wrapped in black aura, Feliks disappeared, leaving only mocking laughter behind.
The faces of those remaining were horribly distorted.
* * *
Wow, what a backstab.
Right, I was the fool for thinking that bastard would fight honorably to the death until the end.
There’s no way vile and sinister ‘Evil’ would have such a sense of justice or sacrifice.
“Let’s get out first.”
When I tapped the shoulder of Airic who was holding me, he moved quickly.
Rute and Joo Hyun-jin followed us.
“He really does everything.”
As soon as I looked at the sky, a sigh escaped me.
The pitch-black night sky was burning.
Meteors, no, hundreds of demons were flying toward us, intent on destroying this land.
If left alone, the Imperial Capital would be destroyed, and the capital city would also fall.
Damn Feliks.
If he was going to run away cowardly, he should have just left!
“What should we do?”
“Please put me down first.”
Thanks to Airic continuously pouring healing power into me, there was no problem standing on my own two feet now.
However.
“No. Your wounds haven’t fully healed yet.”
“Just stay still. Or should I carry you instead?”
Airic and Rute immediately dismissed my opinion.
The worst was Joo Hyun-jin.
“What, now that you’ve met me too, you have no regrets even if you die? If you die, I’ll kill everyone and then die too.”
“…”
Madness flowed from Joo Hyun-jin’s eyes.
It was even scarier because that wasn’t a joke.
“We need to deal with all those demons before they hit the ground.”
I changed the subject as if nothing had happened.
“How?”
“First, we need the Holy Maiden and Holy Sage of the Sea God.”
“Wait.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Joo Hyun-jin went back into the banquet hall.
After hearing sounds of bang and crack, she soon appeared holding Carmen and Dominic by the scruff of their necks, one in each hand.
“I brought them.”
That’s my friend indeed.
“What the hell?”
Carmen, who had been ready to curse at Joo Hyun-jin, widened her eyes upon seeing the burning sky.
“The aura of ‘Evil’ I just felt, was it that?”
“Right. That’s why we need your power.”
“What should we do?”
Dominic asked with a hardened face, understanding the severity of the situation.
“First, you two need to extinguish the fire surrounding the demons. Only the Sea God’s divine power can do it.”
“Understood.”
“And Hyun-jin, when the fire goes out, neutralize the aura of ‘Evil’ as much as possible.”
“…Neutralize? I felt it in the banquet hall too, but are you really the Holy Maiden of the Eternal God?”
Carmen and Dominic looked at Joo Hyun-jin with surprised eyes.
There’s no way the two people who were nearby wouldn’t have felt the aura when Joo Hyun-jin was summoned.
But there was no time for this conversation now.
“Focus. This isn’t the time to be distracted. We’ll talk after everything’s over. And Monica.”
“Yes!”
Monica immediately ran to my side.
“Bring Idella and the mages. We’ll put up a barrier around the capital city in case we fail.”
“Understood!”
Monica immediately entered the banquet hall.
“Should I help with the barrier too?”
I shook my head at Rute’s question.
“You have something else to do, so wait.”
Rute nodded without complaint.
“Let’s begin.”
Carmen and Dominic stood side by side.
Splash.
With the clear sound of water, deep blue waves filled with tremendous power began to slowly surge around the two people.
