A Fusion skill.

I had only thought about recovering with Rute’s divine power.

Who would have thought I’d master a new exclusive skill.

“Ordel? What did you just do? It feels like I’m somehow connected to you…”

Since it’s a Fusion skill, Rute must have felt something too.

“Something like that.”

I gazed into the void.

The momentum of the flying monsters had decreased considerably from the beginning, but they were still dangerous nonetheless.

【Activating Fusion skill ‘Execution’.】

My divine power and Rute’s slowly merged within my body.

My body, which had been held in Airic’s arms, rose into the air.

Beyond the barrier made of Sun God’s divine power and magic, I could clearly see the monsters flying toward us.

Why was this?

I felt as if I had come to understand everything about the monsters.

Was it the influence of Rute, who had briefly possessed the power of ‘Evil’ in his previous life?

I couldn’t be certain, but thanks to that, I could automatically know how to kill those things.

【Executing ‘Execution’.】

A flash of light appeared beyond the barrier.

What started as a single flash soon multiplied into two, three, five, dozens.

If the skill Judgment was lightning, then Execution was blades.

The tremendously multiplied blades began to slice apart the bodies of monsters that had lost their flames and the power of ‘Evil’.

Kyaaak! Kiaaak!

The agonized screams of monsters came from beyond the barrier.

However, the Fusion skill of me, blessed by the Sun God, and Rute, who had long suffered under ‘Evil’, showed no mercy to them.

Slash, cut, slash, cut, slash, cut, slash, cut, slash, cut, slash, cut, slash, cut, slash, cut.

Rute’s capricious blades cut them countless times, while my divine power cleanly purified them so they could never recover again.

Until their forms could no longer be recognized.

The burning night sky was dyed golden.

“…Good heavens.”

“Oh God.”

Exclamations from people below reached my ears.

They were probably exclamations closer to fear than admiration.

If the skill Judgment felt like divine punishment, then Execution was closer to merciless and cruel human power.

No, to be precise, this was the resentment of Rute who had suffered in his previous life.

That’s why it was a sad power.

“Cough!”

Then a bitter lump suddenly rose from within me.

I’m getting a backlash even though I used Rute’s divine power?

【’Sun Risen from Death’ scolds you, asking if you expected to be fine after drawing upon someone else’s divine power with a body that hasn’t fully healed.】

But Rute’s divine power also restored the Sun God’s power.

Naturally, it should heal my body too, shouldn’t it?

【’Sun Risen from Death’ sighs, asking if there would be any power left to heal you when you poured all the drawn divine power into attacking.】

【Since your body condition has become a mess again, he recommends you go down and receive treatment from Idella and Airic.】

“…”

Come to think of it, the system only said my divine power and Rute’s had fused, not that it healed me.

It’s my fault for overlooking that.

I sighed and slowly descended.

“…Maintain the barrier well. The corpses of monsters I couldn’t completely dispose of will fall.”

If I exerted a bit more power, I could turn them all into dust without leaving a single one.

But now I have people depending on me, so I decided not to overdo it.

I deliberately avoided Joo Hyun-jin, who was staring intently at me after I coughed up blood, and deactivated the skill.

The flashes that had colored the night sky scattered.

Chunks of monster corpses that had lost their form fell onto the barrier with thuds.

“Ugh!”

“Guk! Endure it! Maintain the barrier so it doesn’t break!”

The mages groaned.

Although their momentum had greatly decreased due to our combined attack, these were monsters that had originally been flying like meteors.

The impact wouldn’t be weak by any means.

“Ugh.”

As soon as I touched the ground, I staggered from dizziness.

Airic and Rute immediately supported me from both sides.

“Lady Ordel, you’re bleeding again…”

“I didn’t want to overdo it, but there was a very slight miscalculation. Please treat me.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Airic’s characteristic divine power, resembling warm sunlight, filled my body.

Feeling my stinging insides gradually calming down, I let out a sigh.

As expected, Airic’s healing power is truly the best.

Bang!

Then a golden sword energy that cut through the air burst the monster corpses falling onto the barrier.

“…I don’t know what the situation is, but please leave disposing of those to me.”

It was Seth, who had come outside belatedly.

He quietly watched me receiving treatment from Airic, then bit his teeth hard and left.

His movements in annihilating the monsters beyond the barrier were much more intense than usual.

“I’ll go too. Don’t exert yourself anymore and stay put.”

Rute completely entrusted me to Airic and stood up.

Rute’s eyes were full of gloom as he looked at Airic’s golden divine power gently enveloping my body.

I could tell without him saying anything.

He must be lamenting the fact that mages cannot use healing power.

“Please take care of it.”

But everyone has a role that suits them.

Rute was the only person who could perfectly annihilate monsters without being a priest.

Rute let out a deep sigh at my waving and smiling figure, then headed toward Seth.

“Ugh!”

“Oh no!”

And as soon as he released his power, the mages maintaining the barrier screamed.

Perhaps because he was quite angry, Rute’s magic sword energy annihilating the monsters beyond the barrier was considerably rough.

But what could be done? I could only tell them to endure it.

“This side is all finished too.”

At the familiar voice, I, who had been leaning against Airic, turned my head.

The couple Trisha and Mikhail were approaching in tattered condition.

“Are you two alright?”

“That’s what we should be asking.”

Trisha looked me over with a deeply furrowed brow.

I smiled awkwardly and tried my best to hide my torn clothes.

“Tsk, you said you wouldn’t overdo it. I’m a fool for believing those words.”

I didn’t want to end up like this either.

“His Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress are safe. As we expected, the monsters were targeting them.”

As expected.

I sighed at Trisha’s words.

Today, Trisha and Mikhail’s mission was to protect the Emperor and Empress from Feliks.

I had asked them just in case, but who would have thought he’d really target his own parents.

He really is trash.

Well, since he’s already committed patricide, doing it twice wouldn’t be difficult, would it?

“What about Jeremy?”

Jeremy’s mission was to escort the Emperor and Empress to where Trisha and Mikhail were waiting.

But for some reason, both Trisha and Mikhail’s faces soured simultaneously.

“…To be honest, about 80% of why we ended up in this state is that young man’s fault.”

At Mikhail’s words, I widened my eyes.

Since I had asked him, there’s no way Jeremy would have attacked the two of them.

“…Don’t tell me he lost his mind?”

Did that Sea God bastard finally erode the kid’s sanity?

【’Raging Sea’ clicks his tongue, asking if the main god looks like some promise-breaking scoundrel.】

“That’s not it.”

Ah, so that’s not it.

Sorry for misunderstanding. But given your track record, I think being misunderstood is natural.

【’Raging Sea’ looks at the user with incredulous eyes.】

“He didn’t care about the surrounding buildings at all and only focused on killing the monsters. It was a bit difficult protecting Their Majesties from the building debris flying around.”

“…”

Our Jeremy really went wild with vigor.

Well, there’s no way Jeremy would consider the Imperial Capital’s safety.

“I’m sorry. But where is Jeremy now?”

He probably went wild like that thinking he’d finish quickly and come back quickly.

I was puzzled since he was still nowhere to be seen.

“Ah, right now?”

Then Trisha lifted one corner of her mouth in a smirk.

That smile looked exactly like the one Rute often wore.

The kind he usually showed when fully displaying his nasty personality…

“I got really annoyed cleaning up after that bastard. So I lied a little, saying you’d like it more if he stayed to protect Their Majesties. He fell for it completely, didn’t he?”

“…”

My goodness. I thought about it before when Monica and Idella tricked me into wandering around the festival.

Jeremy has a surprisingly naive side to him.

“Well, Their Majesties would be better off with that unfamiliar young man than with us anyway. Their own son committed treason, after all.”

Well, Trisha has a point too.

Not only was Felix a minion of ‘Evil’, but it was also revealed that he was the one who drove the Emperor’s brother to death.

On top of that, he used monsters to target their lives too, so the shock must be even greater.

“The Empire will be turned upside down now.”

“The entire continent will be turned upside down.”

Boom!

Just then, a loud explosion sound came from the sky.

When I looked up, sparkling golden light was filling the night sky.

It seemed Seth and Rute had perfectly annihilated all the monster corpses.

“It’s beautiful.”

It was a brilliant golden wave that didn’t match this nightmare-like reality.

I’ll never forget this scene from today for a very long time.

* * *

The next morning at dawn.

【Shocking! Crown Prince Felix Roan Carnuss’s Treason!】

【The Empire’s Traitorous Crown Prince Who Joined Hands with Monsters!】

News of Felix’s treason spread throughout the entire Empire.
