Chapter 87

Besides, Kaisis is here too. And I’m a super strong holy mage myself, so what’s there to worry about.

But the Duke ordered the knights to retreat.

“From now on, you will exit the forest and return to the Duke’s mansion.”

“But, Your Grace…”

“Don’t worry about me. What is there to worry about when a great holy mage is with me.”

Then he smiled gently at me.

Kaisis’s eyebrows began to furrow.

Following the Duke’s orders, the knights had no choice but to exit the forest and return to the Duke’s mansion.

However, they earnestly requested that he immediately teleport if a dangerous situation arose.

Watching the knights leave, I looked at the Duke with troubled eyes for not going with them to the end.

Intuiting that no matter what I said, the Duke wouldn’t return, I sighed and took a step forward.

“By the way, where are you going?”

The Duke immediately followed beside me and asked.

“I’m heading toward where I can feel the aura of dark magic.”

“Holy mages can sense such things?”

“Yes.”

When I nodded, the Duke smiled brightly, saying it was amazing.

The male lead’s smile. It’s deadly.

When I squinted as if dazzled, Kaisis covered my eyes.

“Don’t look, Master.”

Kaisis’s voice was full of sharp edges.

He seemed to be wary of the Duke.

Well, the Duke was someone who had confessed to liking me.

And even though it was brief, we had been rumored to be lovers—though it was fake. So he had to be wary.

But Kaisis, if you cover my eyes like this, I can’t walk.

As I grabbed Kaisis’s hand to pull it down, I suddenly felt a strong aura of dark magic nearby.

I pushed aside the tree branches that hung long in front of me.

Then…

“A temple?”

Some ruined building revealed itself.

It looked like an old temple.

But it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, as ivy covered the walls extensively.

There were also some collapsed areas here and there.

After staring at the temple for a while, I concluded that this place seemed to be the source of the strange phenomena, based on the aura of dark magic I felt from inside the temple.

“That seems to be the source.”

At my words, the Duke drew his sword.

Kaisis also looked at the temple warily while holding his sword.

Since Kaisis can sense the aura of dark magic, it must be even more intense for him.

I suddenly thought of one particular item and made an “ah” sound.

Then I took out the 【Saint’s Stone】 from my pocket.

“Kai.”

When I called Kaisis, he immediately turned to look at me.

“Hold onto this.”

When I handed him the 【Saint’s Stone】, the Duke sent me a look asking what it was.

“It’s a stone that somewhat neutralizes the damage from dark magic.”

“There are such stones?”

I didn’t know either, but apparently there are.

When I nodded, the Duke looked at me for a moment.

Wondering why he was staring, I turned to look at the Duke, and he asked with an innocent face.

“Don’t I get one?”

“I don’t have another one.”

Then the Duke’s face was instantly colored with disappointment.

“It seems Lady Sauver isn’t worried about me…”

“No, it’s not exactly that…”

“I suppose I’m more important to Master than that guy.”

Unlike the Duke, Kaisis had a triumphant face like a winner as he put the 【Saint’s Stone】 in his pocket and spoke.

“Your Grace has a magical tool that allows teleportation. But Kai doesn’t have anything.”

I quickly spoke as if making an excuse.

I don’t know why I have to explain such things.

“But isn’t he a dragon? And an incredibly strong dragon at that.”

The Duke still looked hurt.

No, even dragons can be affected by dark magic, you know?

When I spoke in disbelief, the Duke drooped his eyes sadly.

“I’ll protect Your Grace if anything happens.”

Only after I said that could the situation finally be settled.

“Let’s go to that temple first.”

“Understood.”

The Duke nodded and looked at the temple.

“It looks like an ominous temple.”

If even the Duke, who couldn’t sense the aura of dark magic, said it looked ominous, it certainly didn’t seem like an ordinary place.

We quietly approached the temple.

That’s when it happened.

“Grrrowl…”

An ominous sound was heard.

“Grrr…”

What slowly walked out from inside the forest was none other than a demon beast.

More precisely, a human who had undergone Masu Transformation.

“That looks exactly like a person.”

The Duke said with a frown.

“Because it is a person.”

“What? But people are…”

“That’s a person who has undergone Masu Transformation. It’s hard to consider them human now, but they were once human.”

It looked exactly like a zombie.

From the herb pouch dangling at its waist, it seemed to have been an herbalist.

“If I cut that, will it multiply too?”

“Yes. And if they haven’t lost their self-awareness, they might be able to return to being human, so don’t cut it for now.”

At my words, the Duke sheathed his sword and nodded.

“Grrrowl…”

Sharp horns covering its entire body, pearl-like bulging eyes, and eerie crying sounds.

Since it wasn’t speaking human words, the Masu Transformation seemed to be completely progressed.

The humanoid demons I saw last time even communicated with each other.

That meant they had some level of intelligence.

I deliberately broke a tree branch to make noise, and the creature immediately turned to look at us.

So it reacts to sound.

“Grrrowl…!”

The creature quickly rushed at us.

At that moment, its mouth opened grotesquely, revealing sharp teeth.

“Disgusting!”

I shuddered and drew up my magical power.

From its mouth split into four parts, a long tongue like a tentacle protruded.

“Ugh!”

It was when that tongue came rushing toward me.

Kaisis’s sword deflected the demon beast’s tongue.

The creature let out a frustrated scream.

After gathering mana at my fingertips and extending my hand toward it, the one that had been screaming in anger rushed at me.

Just before its sharp teeth reached me.

“Disappear.”

When I shot out my mana, the creature wrapped in golden light screamed in agony.

“Kieeeek…!”

The sharp scream pierced my ears.

When I frowned, Kaisis covered my ears with both hands.

The creature struggled for a long time. But it wouldn’t easily return to human form.

Perhaps because the demon transformation had progressed completely, it was much harder to purify than beast-type demon beasts.

I sent another wave of mana toward the struggling creature.

Then the screaming creature collapsed.

Finally, the sharp horns covering its entire body disappeared and it returned to human form.

But…

“They’re dead.”

The person who had returned to human form was no longer breathing.

It was the same this time too.

I had harbored a faint hope that perhaps this time would be different from last time.

Looking down at the corpse whose eyes couldn’t close, I quietly reached out and closed the corpse’s eyes.

May you go to a good place.

It was when I closed the corpse’s eyes and was about to move forward again.

Perhaps hearing the crying sounds, demon beasts came bursting out in a rush.

This time there were three in total.

By the time I realized we were surrounded, one of them had already started rushing toward us.

I stomped my foot and kicked the ground. Then a golden magic circle rose above the ground.

Then I looked straight at the demon beast rushing toward us at high speed.

If that demon beast had lost its ego, even if I purified it and it returned to human form, its breath might be cut off.

But I hoped they wouldn’t suffer even in death.

I hoped they wouldn’t wander around this world as demon beasts.

With such wishes, I drew up my mana.

Then the magic circle made a humming sound as it rose up, then flashed and spread out in all directions as if scattering.
