80.
When the demons appeared, the knights inside the temple immediately rushed outside.
This was an unavoidable duty for those living in Perniers.
And those who saw the demons swallowed short gasps.
What incredibly disgusting things have come…
Evren immediately began giving orders to his subordinates.
“I need to use my ability, so evacuate the people.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
“We’ll divide the area and handle it systematically. Lillian. You stay here-.”
“What? Why?”
The farther away from ability users, the more inconvenient it becomes to use power.
‘Butterfly afterimages aren’t omnipotent either.’
Lillian extended her hand to Evren. It was almost automatic now, so her hand just went up naturally.
“We should go together in this situation.”
But instead of taking her hand, he lifted Lillian into his arms entirely.
Lillian came face to face with the black tentacle mass-like demon that had appeared this time.
“Ugh…”
Wow… it was really disgusting. Tonight’s dinner was ruined.
Lillian couldn’t help but purse her lips.
This man burst into laughter beside her.
I don’t know why he’s acting like that in this situation.
“We depart for the lower village.”
“Yes!”
Before coming here, it would be around the area where she enjoyed snacks with the villain.
She hoped the place that had become a memory wouldn’t collapse if possible.
“Lillian, the demons here specialize in mental brainwashing.”
“Ah…!”
“We need to do extermination and control simultaneously, so get ready.”
Lillian just nodded, afraid she might bite her tongue.
But without delay, she clasped both hands together as if praying.
The first thing that began to appear was white snow.
Pure white snow fell and began covering the demons.
And from that white sky, sparkling pink butterflies flew in flocks.
“Wow…!”
“My goodness, what on earth is that-.”
Those struggling to rise from the sea of demon corpses murmured.
“Beautiful…”

Kail struggled outside to persuade Iris, who was desperately trying to hide.
“Iris! What on earth are you doing? Come out quickly and together-!”
“I, I can’t do it.”
“Iris, why on earth!”
Iris burst into tears.
The demon she had just seen had centipedes and maggots coming from its mouth, with densely packed teeth that would trigger trypophobia.
‘How can I look at something like that up close!’
This is why she threw herself into business to avoid demon subjugation, right?
With such hideous monsters around, why must Iris step forward?
“Y-Your Highness, please. I beg you.”
Iris pleaded through her tears.
“J-just this once. This time it’s too scary.”
“But-.”
“The rear! I can stay in the rear! Honestly, if no one goes berserk, that’s enough, isn’t it?”
Kail hurriedly looked around at others.
Members of the Five Great Families were given the glory mentioned from the first page, first sentence of the scriptures.
But they had to take the lead in demon subjugation accordingly.
That was their destined fate from birth.
But this woman right now…
Iris sobbed and pleaded.
“Please, there are Tillard Family knights too…! Send them…!”
“Iris…”
“Next time, when it’s more important, I’ll do well!”
When no one particularly wants Iris like now, why must she go?
No one praises her and they only look at Lillian again…
Kail bit his lips seeing Iris stricken with panic.
He sighed and ordered a knight.
“Take Iris away first.”
“However, Your Highness-.”
“Iris is injured.”
“…”
The knight made a dismayed expression.
Anyone could see that she wasn’t injured.
However, Kail pretended not to know.
“It can’t be helped. Hurry.”
“Yes, Your Highness. Lady Iris, this way…”
Iris hurriedly followed the knight.
However, one thing they didn’t anticipate was that refugees had come up from the Lower Village of the Temple.
They saw the crests of Iris and her subordinate knights and whispered among themselves.
“…Could that be.”
“Isn’t that Iris?”
“The Tillard Family’s only S-rank Controller!”
“The Tillard Family hasn’t defected, have they?”
That’s impossible. It couldn’t be.
“Even the Tillard side that they abandoned is out there now, right?”
Even the ‘non-ability user’ who came here following the Crown Prince is helping with field support alongside other controllers?
“Coward!”
Harsh curses followed toward the one avoiding the fight.

After the demon extermination and mental contamination were somewhat resolved.
Lillian had returned to the temple first.
The plan was for Evren to quickly check on the situation with other demons and return.
However, when Lillian returned.
The temple priests were urgently running around shouting.
“Is there a Controller here by any chance?”
“Any Controller who hasn’t made a pact, anyone-!”
Several people cautiously stepped forward.
Lillian was included among them, not just the others.
“What’s the matter?”
“Right now the Captain of the Holy Knights and his party are infected with mental contamination and need help!”
“…!”
“Please, someone from the Crown Prince’s retainers provide support.”
When Lillian raised her hand, pink butterfly afterimages began to shimmer.
Those watching were amazed as they saw the butterflies descend upon the heads of people who had been gasping from mental contamination.
“Oh my, incredible…!”
A sound like bee wings fluttering came from behind, startling them.
“Who is that person exactly-?”
“Isn’t she part of the Crown Prince’s party?”
Lillian tilted her head at the priest who was watching this situation in a daze.
“Do the people down below need help too?”
“Ah…! Yes, yes, please! If you’re still able to…!”
Well, that wouldn’t be difficult.
Lillian looked down at the path below the hill that had been like a pale pink flower cloud.
“…Ah.”
Whether demons had swept through, all the trees had withered and twisted to death.
The beautiful place was stained black.
As if the villain’s gesture of offering flower petals had all been a lie.
‘Is this heaven’s will telling me to come to my senses?’
Somehow it looked even more unpleasant, so she tried to turn away.
But before turning her steps, she quickly narrowed her eyes.
She caught a glimpse of hair that shone pale gold in the sunlight.

Damn it all.
Noah chewed out every curse he could think of in his mouth.
He had let his guard down completely.
When he raised his head, a hideous mass of sticky tentacles was sprawling grotesquely across from him.
Noah’s subordinate hung limply, caught helplessly by the demon.
It was a demon that burrowed into the shadows of ability users and sucked out their power.
‘Did it follow us when we came here?’
Of all things, it was one that devoured divine power to bulk up its body.
The compatibility was terrible since it absorbed everything whenever Noah fought with his abilities.
However, the demon soon realized it was at a disadvantage too.
After attacking Noah, when it saw an opening, it chose to flee rather than go for the kill.
‘If I let that thing escape…!’
‘Damn…’
While trying to handle it without getting hurt, the demon’s tentacle grazed his side.
His nerves went numb. He felt mental contamination beginning.
The control stone, where did he put that damn control stone.
“This damn piece of…”
He collapsed sideways just like that.
The fatigue accumulated from the frontier until now was considerable.
Surely he wouldn’t go berserk like this…
While he was gritting his teeth and enduring to keep his wits about him.
Footsteps could be heard approaching from nearby.
Judging by how light they were, it wasn’t a demon or an adult man.
‘What?’
Noah moved his eyelids hazily.
Was it his god?
‘It must be.’
The Creator God had come in the form of a woman with light at her back.
Otherwise, there would be no explaining the pink hair gently fluttering in the wind and eyes like a spring full moon.
She was beautiful.
Even the rich lily fragrance spreading around didn’t seem human.
Actually, from when they first met at the incineration site…
“Hello there. Are you alive?”
Damn.
Even her voice was ethereal.
“With a humble heart… I shall enter the gates of paradise…”
“Oh. What should I do, your condition is… pretty bad…”
Fingers reached out to touch him.
“Let me help you for a moment?”
“Huk, urgh…!”
Noah’s throat literally burned white-hot.
The palm that touched him was soft.
White flames ignited as if the thinnest electric current was flowing through his spine.
Those flames circled through his muscles and dulled nerves, gradually filling his body with warm heat.
Meanwhile, the one who lightly touched and withdrew her hand spoke in a nonchalant, gentle tone.
“Are you feeling a little better now?”
