Chapter 88

Those hit directly by that light collapsed to the floor.

The cluster of light seeped into their bodies.

And before long, they all returned to human form.

Unfortunately, since they had already lost their sense of self, their lives couldn’t be saved.

“That’s enough now. Let’s go.”

For some reason, the Duke was staring at me with a dazed expression.

Just as I was about to turn my head away, embarrassed by his gaze.

Kaisis growled at the Duke.

“Look away. She’s mine.”

Dragons are animals with strong possessiveness, aren’t they?

I’ve been really feeling that lately.

Kaisis would sometimes bare his fangs like this even when the maids just looked at me.

Thanks to that, the maids wouldn’t even come near me. It felt exactly like being a villainess that servants fear, the kind that often appears in romance novels.

“Kaisis, stop it.”

At my words, Kaisis immediately stopped growling.

It felt like raising a well-behaved guard dog—though of course Kaisis isn’t a dog but a dragon.

We moved forward again, and finally…

We stood before a massive temple.

From within, a powerful aura of black magic was flowing out.

“Everyone needs to be careful.”

At my words, the Duke and Kaisis nodded.

As we entered the temple, a foul stench pierced our noses. It was the smell that came when humans underwent demon transformation.

As expected, something was definitely happening here.

I began to carefully step into the temple with Kaisis and the Duke in tow.

After taking a few steps like that.

A growling sound echoed from not far away.

I stopped walking for a moment.

When I stopped, the two men also ceased their movement.

Thinking it might be humanoid demons again, I turned my head to see wolf-type demon beasts emerging from the darkness.

At least it’s fortunate they’re not humanoid demons.

Wolves live in packs. True to that nature, there seemed to be about ten wolf-type demon beasts surrounding us.

“This is troublesome.”

I wanted to enter without being detected if possible.

I scratched my head and thought ‘Oh well, whatever’ as I released my magic power.

At that moment, a wolf demon beast sprang up like a coil and charged at me.

It seemed to instinctively regard me, who uses divine magic, as an enemy.

But I’m Rene Sauver.

As a divine mage, mere beast-type demon beasts are no match for me!

I struck the wolf demon beast charging at me with my magic-infused fist, and shot magic power at the beast that tumbled to the ground.

Then the creature, now returned to an ordinary wolf, growled and bared its teeth at me.

This guy? After I saved him?

Well, wolves are predators after all. Even after purification, they were still dangerous.

I bound the creature with magic and then looked at the remaining demon beasts surrounding me.

“I’m quite popular. Everyone’s only looking at me, aren’t they?”

The demon beasts that saw their companion get purified growled and bared their teeth at me.

What are you going to do if you act like that?

Just as I was about to deploy divine magic.

The wolf demon beasts suddenly made whimpering sounds and ran away.

“Why are they suddenly running away?”

“I don’t know either…”

That’s when it happened.

A vast aura of black magic was felt from inside.

“Aaaaah…!”

Along with human screams.

We exchanged glances and hurriedly rushed inside.

“Finally, finally…!”

Going inside, we saw a woman writhing on what looked like an altar.

In front of her, dozens of kneeling followers were earnestly bowing toward the altar.

“Finally, the angel has descended!”

The woman’s body began to transform with cracking sounds.

She was turning into a demon beast.

I reflexively tried to draw up my magic power.

But then,

“Who are these intruders!”

The followers discovered us.

The followers who had been bowing turned to look at us.

Dozens of pairs of mad eyes flew toward us.

“This looks quite dangerous.”

The Duke whispered to me as he drew his sword with a swoosh.

“Finally, our great angel has descended!”

Wings were sprouting from the woman’s back.

But no matter how I looked at them, they didn’t look like angel wings.

Rather, they looked more like…

“A demon.”

I agreed with the Duke’s words.

The woman was closer to a demon’s appearance.

“I need to purify her before she completely transforms.”

“I agree.”

“Kaisis and Your Highness, please handle those people. I’ll save the woman.”

Kaisis and the Duke nodded and charged toward the followers.

Followers who had brought weapons like swords and spears from somewhere began confronting the two men.

Meanwhile, I headed for the altar.

That’s when it happened.

The old man who had been standing at the front talking about angels blocked my path with his whole body.

“How dare you! Trying to interfere with the angel’s descent!”

“Get out of the way.”

“Absolutely not!”

“That’s not an angel or anything. It’s a demon beast.”

“Don’t insult our angel!”

The old man’s eyes gleamed with madness. I wondered if I should put the old man to sleep with magic.

“Anyone who interferes with our great angel’s descent, I won’t let them live!”

Suddenly, an ominous black light rose from the old man’s hands.

Black magic!

I hurriedly deployed my magic. At the same time, black magic power struck at me.

If I had been just a little slower, it would have been terrible.

Wait, wasn’t there supposed to be only one black mage? Then why is this old man using black magic!

“How can you use black magic…!”

“The great one shared his power with me. To eliminate vermin like you!”

So in other words, he wasn’t a black mage, but he could use black magic thanks to receiving a small amount of power.

This has become quite troublesome.

“Die!”

The old man wildly unleashed black magic, and I tried to wait for his strength to weaken.

But the woman’s transformation was progressing too quickly to just wait around.

At this rate, she would complete her transformation before the old man collapsed from exhaustion.

What should I do.

It was while I was desperately racking my brain.

“Black Mage…!”

I felt a strong aura of black magic.

When I turned my head, the old man also turned his head along with me.

“Has that person come?”

Yeah, it’s a lie.

“It’s a fake!”

At that moment, I punched the old man in the stomach with my fist, and he made a ‘kugh’ sound as he collapsed to the floor.

“I’m sorry.”

I gave a brief apology and tried to run toward the woman struggling on the altar.

But…

“Damn it!”

The transformation was already complete.

The woman, now transformed into a demon beast, let out a loud howl and flew up into the sky.

“It’s an angel!”

“An angel has descended!”

Well, she says she’s not an angel.

“No… this isn’t right, no…!”

The woman who had flown up into the sky clutched her head and screamed in apparent agony.

A demon beast that can speak?

As I stared at the woman in confusion, she flapped her wings once with great force.

Then feathers sharpened like daggers came rushing down to the ground.

I quickly cast defensive magic. A golden barrier surrounded me.

“Kaisis! Your Highness! Over here!”

The two people who had been dodging the feathers however they could rushed into the golden barrier I had created.

“Aaaaah!”

“Kugh!”

The followers struck by the feathers died quickly.

Even so, rather than being afraid, the followers bowed to the angel.

“Please guide us to eternal life!”

Hearing this, the Duke asked me.

“Is there a connection between black magic and eternal life?”

“No.”

It was an absurd question.

To begin with, eternal life was something humans could never possess.

Even Archmages could only prevent aging, not death itself.

Through black magic, one might artificially extend their lifespan.

But that wouldn’t be eternal life. Eternal life means literally living forever and immortally.

If eternal life could be obtained through something like black magic, all the rulers throughout history would have learned and coveted black magic.

There’s a reason black magic is called ‘black’ magic and not something else.

“To begin with, eternal life isn’t something humans can obtain. Nor should they.”

I bit my lip as I watched the defensive magic gradually begin to crack. We couldn’t hide inside this barrier forever.

“Kaisis, Your Highness. When I give the signal, take any survivors and head for the exit.”
