Chapter 104
As I looked at Louis in bewilderment, the Mage Lord narrowed her eyes and spoke.
“It seems the binding magic isn’t working because the black magic’s aura is too strong. At this level, even my magic power probably won’t get through.”
At the Mage Lord’s words, I bit my lip.
The Mage Lord shook her head as if she had a headache.
That’s when it happened.
Bang, bang, bang-!
Louis unleashed his aura. Three times, no less.
Though Kaisis managed to deflect one with his sword, the remaining two aura attacks came flying toward me.
“Master!”
Just as I was frantically trying to deploy defensive magic.
Crash-!
The Duke suddenly embraced me and unleashed his aura to destroy Louis’s attacks.
“Are you alright, Miss Sauver?”
Having unintentionally ended up in the Duke’s arms, I looked up at him in confusion.
“Yes, I’m fine.”
As I hurriedly tried to escape from the Duke’s embrace, Kaisis growled at the Duke.
“Take your hands off her.”
I immediately stepped out of the Duke’s arms. The Duke looked at Louis while readjusting his grip on his sword.
“It seems we won’t be able to restrain Miss Rockwood with magic.”
When I nodded, the Duke turned to me and said.
“I’ll handle him. Please focus your efforts on dealing with the ancient demon beast, Miss Sauver.”
When I nodded, the Duke charged toward Louis.
“Hey, you bastard! You think you can handle me alone! Bring a few more people! Help me out here!”
Louis shouted.
“I’d like to, but everyone’s out of their minds due to the cognitive disaster.”
The Duke spoke while dodging the sword Louis swung.
Louis cursed “Damn it!” and continued swinging his sword.
“You should also help Miss Sauver deal with the ancient demon beast.”
The Duke spoke to Kaisis, who was still clashing swords with Louis.
“You’re a dragon, so you’ll definitely be helpful.”
Then he took over blocking Louis’s sword that Kaisis had been deflecting and pushed Kaisis toward me.
“Go quickly!”
When the Duke shouted, Kaisis hesitated for a moment, then sheathed his sword and ran toward me.
I turned my back on the Duke who was blocking Louis and spoke to the mages.
“We need to deal with the ancient demon beast.”
“But we can only cast ordinary magic.”
“I’ll handle the purification. Please just help me subdue the ancient demon beast.”
The mages nodded with determined faces.
As we were devising a strategy to subdue the ancient demon beast.
Buuung-.
A horn sounded, and I could see knights on horseback charging from the distance.
The person leading them was none other than….
“Jacques!”
It was Jacques.
When I looked at Jacques with a brightened face, he dismounted and greeted me.
“Beatrice, it’s been a while. I received your letter and hurriedly assembled the knights.”
The Holy Knights who had dismounted knelt on one knee and greeted me.
“We greet Beatrice!”
With this, all the forces I had requested had gathered.
I had been worried about what to do if the Holy Kingdom didn’t send troops.
Fortunately, they did.
“But that dragon….”
Jacques, who had been looking up at the ancient demon beast flying in the sky, hardened his expression.
“It’s an ancient demon beast.”
It seemed the Holy Kingdom also had information about ancient demon beasts.
Well, several of the past holy mages had served as saints in the Holy Kingdom.
There would be records left behind.
“I heard that ancient demon beasts cause cognitive disasters, but the other people….”
“They’re already affected.”
When I spoke with a serious expression, Jacques’s face also hardened.
“I’d like you to deploy the Holy Knights to prevent people from attacking each other. And stop those trying to commit suicide too.”
“Understood.”
At my instruction, Jacques commanded the Holy Knights.
“Protecting the people as Beatrice instructed is our top priority!”
“Yes, understood!”
At Jacques’s command, the Holy Knights scattered in all directions. Jacques also greeted me, mounted his horse, and drew his sword.
“Then, Beatrice, I’ll go protect the people. Please take care of yourself.”
“You too, Jacques.”
After exchanging greetings with Jacques, I was about to plan strategy with the mages again.
Buuung-.
The horn sounded once more.
What is it this time?
When I turned my head, I could see Count Sauver and his knights approaching from the other side.
“Count Sauver.”
“Rene, are you alright? You’re not hurt anywhere?”
“How did you get here….”
“I heard news that a dragon was rampaging on Shuin Street in the capital. I came in case you might be in danger.”
I looked at the knights standing behind Count Sauver. They were fully armed.
With this many, it seemed possible to evacuate people outside the capital. I looked at Count Sauver and said.
“Count Sauver, please prioritize evacuating people outside the capital.”
Ordinary knights wouldn’t be a match for the demon beast anyway.
So it would be better to assign them to evacuate people instead.
Even if the capital was too large to evacuate everyone in a short time, it would be better than continuing to be affected by the cognitive disaster within the capital.
At my words, Count Sauver nodded in understanding. Then he looked at the ancient demon beast still flying around breathing fire.
“Then that dragon….”
“The mages and I will handle it.”
Count Sauver looked at the mages standing beside me, then bowed his head to them in greeting.
“Please take good care of my daughter. Please protect her well so she doesn’t get hurt.”
When the Mage Lord and mages nodded, Count Sauver mounted his horse and commanded his knights.
“From now on, we evacuate people outside the capital!”
“Yes, understood!”
I didn’t know how far the influence of the cognitive disaster extended.
But since the ancient demon beast was in the capital, I thought it would be fine if they went outside the capital.
I watched Count Sauver and the knights leave, then looked back at the mages.
“Let’s go deal with the ancient demon beast too. First, please use binding magic to slow its movements as much as possible. Then I’ll try to purify it somehow with holy magic.”
When I spoke, the mages nodded with determined faces.
Soon the mages began casting their magic.
Then the ancient demon beast, perhaps sensing the large amount of magic power, stopped breathing fire and looked in our direction.
I also began drawing up my magic power.
Then the ancient demon beast roared wildly. It must have instinctively sensed danger.
That’s when it happened.
“Grrrk….”
An ominous sound was heard.
I turned my head to look in the direction of the sound. Then a humanoid demon came rushing toward me.
Kaisis drew his sword and blocked the demon’s sharp claws.
Clang-!
I looked around the street in panic, and people who had undergone masu transformation were coming out onto the street one by one.
There were so many people affected by masu transformation besides those who had gathered at the Count’s mansion!
I could see people fleeing from the demons, and the Count and knights putting people on horses. The Holy Knights were also confronting the demons.
It was truly chaos.
I couldn’t purify this many demons.
Even if I dealt with the ancient demon beast, I would still need to find the black mage….
Iban was nowhere to be seen since he left the audience chamber. I gritted my teeth.
“What should we do about those demons?”
One of the mages asked me.
“Let’s deal with the ancient demon beast first. That one is the most dangerous.”
The mages nodded at my words.
“Please cast binding magic.”
When I gave the instruction, the mages began casting binding magic.
Several magic circles appeared in the air.
At that moment, a black magic circle appeared starting from the head of the ancient demon beast that had shrieked sharply.
The moment chains flew from the magic circles created by the mages, the ancient demon beast passed through the magic circle.
“It disappeared!”
The ancient demon beast vanished in an instant.
While we were looking around, suddenly a growling sound came from behind us.
“Behind us!”
As soon as I shouted, the ancient demon beast raised its sharp claws and flew toward us.
Kaisis embraced me and rolled on the ground.
Several mages who couldn’t dodge in time were caught by the ancient demon beast.
The ancient demon beast flew high and dropped the mages from the air.
Fortunately, they cast teleportation magic so they wouldn’t be hurt….
It seemed the ancient demon beast also knew how to teleport.
If it could teleport, that was dangerous.
The entire Empire could be in danger in an instant.
If the ancient demon beast teleported to another place….
I instructed the remaining mages to hurry and bind the ancient demon beast.
“We need to bind it quickly!”
