Chapter 89

“I cannot do that, Master. I cannot leave you alone…”

“Please evacuate the people first and then come back. I’ll somehow hold out on my own until then.”

At my words, Kaisis closed his mouth. He clearly looked troubled.

I gave the Duke a meaningful look.

The Duke nodded in understanding, and shortly after, I released the defensive magic.

“Now!”

I quickly summoned a magic circle.

A golden magic circle rose around the woman’s wings. From there, golden chains shot out with a whoosh, binding the woman’s wings.

“Ahhh! No—!”

The woman screamed sharply and struggled.

It seemed the woman still had some self-awareness left. Even after becoming a demon beast, it appeared to take time for one’s consciousness to completely disappear.

If she still had self-awareness, couldn’t she survive if turned back into a human?

Though not certain, the woman’s main weapon seemed to be her wings. So I had to keep her wings bound until Kaisis and the Duke could escape.

Unlike other humans who had undergone demon beast transformation, this woman had the title “Angel.”

That title wasn’t given for nothing, it seemed.

I broke out in a cold sweat as I struggled to keep the woman bound. But her resistance was fierce.

“Get out quickly!”

Kaisis and the Duke, carrying the surviving people, began running toward the exit.

That’s when it happened.

One of the chains binding the woman snapped.

She was strong enough to break through divine magic. At this level, it was hard to consider her a simple demon beast.

If that woman fell into the hands of a black mage…

Countless people would die.

I had to prevent that at all costs.

The woman flapped her wings and shot feathers. In the direction where Kaisis and the Duke were.

I immediately cast magic to protect them.

“Get out! Right now!”

As I tried to bind the woman again, a black magic circle slowly rose from the floor.

The black mage was trying to forcibly summon the woman. Probably to take her and use her as a useful pawn.

I couldn’t let that happen.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

I stomped my foot hard. At the same time, I released vast amounts of magical power.

To break black magic requires that much power.

I felt the magical power flowing through my body rapidly draining away.

However, the black mage didn’t give up easily either.

Sparks flew with crackling sounds.

That’s when it happened.

“Kieeeek—!”

With a sharp cry, the woman swung her wings toward me.

Sharp feathers like daggers flew toward me.

But I didn’t have the strength left to cast defensive magic.

I bit my lip in desperation.

I just need to avoid vital spots. Then I can heal with recovery magic later.

It’ll hurt like hell, but still.

Just as the feathers the woman shot reached right in front of my nose.

Thud—!

“Kaisis!”

Red blood dripped from Kaisis’s hand, pierced by the feather.

“Why didn’t you leave when I told you to!”

“Because I thought you might do this.”

“What?”

“I thought you might try to save that woman even at the cost of sacrificing yourself.”

Kaisis’s eyes quietly blazed. It was clear anger.

Whether Kaisis was angry at me or at the woman who shot feathers at me wasn’t clear.

However, breaking the black magic was the priority right now.

“Cover me.”

“Understood.”

Black scales began sprouting from Kaisis’s body, and soon his body transformed into a perfect dragon.

With Kaisis’s cover, I focused solely on breaking the black magic.

Kaisis flew through the air trying somehow to bring the woman down, but it didn’t look easy.

Perhaps because his front paw was injured by the woman’s feathers, it seemed difficult for him to attack recklessly.

“Please break!”

It would be terrible if that woman fell into the black mage’s hands.

More than anything, I didn’t want to leave that woman to be used as a demon beast.

If she fell into the black mage’s hands, that woman would harm many people regardless of her own will.

I hoped that woman wouldn’t regret it when she harmed people and eventually died after serving her purpose.

I poured out my magical power.

From now on, it was essentially a battle of strength. Whoever had more magical power would win.

“I absolutely won’t lose!”

I stomped my foot once more with a thud!

At that moment, black flames sparked and then…

Crash—!

The black magic circle that was trying to summon the woman shattered.

Perhaps from using too much magical power, my legs trembled. But I couldn’t collapse yet.

The woman, having broken all the chains, screamed sharply.

I looked at the woman.

This forest was contaminated. Because of black magic.

So anyway, after the battle ended, I had to purify the entire forest.

In that case…!

“I’ll cover everything with my magical power!”

At that moment, I released all the magical power remaining in my body.

Light covered everything around us.

A vast amount of magical power swept through like rough waves.

“Kieeeek—!”

The woman’s sharp scream rang out.

When the light finally faded, the woman had fallen to the ground.

I approached the woman.

The wings that had sprouted from her back were wrapped in golden light and slowly crumbling to dust.

This should do it.

Just as I sighed and was about to turn around.

“Ugh, ah…”

A faint moan flowed from between the woman’s parted teeth.

I was startled and looked back at the woman.

The woman was writhing and clutching her heart in pain.

“Are you okay?”

As I hurried to approach…

Kaisis, who had cried out softly, blocked my way. His black wings like the night sky wrapped around me protectively.

Suddenly, wings sprouted again from the woman’s back.

How on earth?

It was when I was panicking. The woman who had crawled across the floor grabbed the hem of my skirt.

“…uman, as…”

I couldn’t hear clearly, so I bent my knees and finally heard the woman’s desperate plea.

“Let, me die, as a, human…”

It was when I was hesitating.

Kaisis removed the wing that had been wrapping around me and approached the woman.

Then he gently pierced the woman’s neck with his sharp claws.

Blood gushed out.

“Thank, you…”

The woman shed tears until the moment she died.

She must have been in great pain.

When the woman’s breath stopped, the wings that had been sprouting from her back also crumbled into dust and scattered.

It seemed that if she died as a human, the Masu Transformation would also be undone.

I quietly looked down at the woman with closed eyes and clenched my fists.

I couldn’t forgive the Black Mage who had done such a thing.

As I bit my lips and looked down at the woman’s corpse, Kaisis, who had returned to human form, gently took my hand.

“Master.”

Kaisis carefully opened my hand.

“You’ll get hurt.”

I looked at Kaisis and quietly buried my head in his shoulder.

“In the end, I couldn’t save anyone.”

“No. Master saved that man.”

He seemed to be referring to the husband of the couple we met before going to the forest.

“I couldn’t save anyone except that person.”

Although I had won the battle of magical power, losing so many people made me feel defeated.

As I quietly shed tears, Kaisis lifted my head up.

Warm hands wiped away my tears.

“Don’t cry, Master. Master saved everyone.”

“No, I didn’t save them. I…”

“If it weren’t for Master, they would have wandered around as demon beasts for the rest of their lives, continuing their painful existence. But thanks to Master, they found peace.”

Kaisis said while wiping my endlessly flowing tears.

“So Master saved everyone. Don’t be sad.”

Tears flowed endlessly.

Kaisis quietly looked down at me like that, then carefully kissed my eyelids.

“If Master carries the burden of today’s events in your heart.”

Then he smiled gently at me.

“I will carry that burden with you.”

It was the first smile I had ever seen.

Since Kaisis always had an expressionless face.

It wasn’t long after I stared blankly up at Kaisis that tears burst out of my eyes like a waterfall.

Kaisis seemed momentarily flustered and gripped my cheeks firmly.

“Why are you crying more?”

“I’m so moved by what Kaisis said… That’s cheating…”

As I sniffled, Kaisis smiled faintly and pulled me into his arms.

“Um…”

It was then that an intruder interrupted.

“Is it all over?”

The Duke asked, looking at me being held in Kaisis’s arms.
