“……!”
No answer came back.
Well, it must be a silence of understanding, right?
Before long, Lilith was driven against the wall by my flurry of sword strikes.
“Do you think I’ll let you just push me around like this?! Dream on!”
Lilith was on the verge of reaching a dead end with her back, but I could feel tension and a different energy coming from her.
<Ellet.>
I know without you having to say it, Agnes.
Lilith’s scythe swung in a huge arc, spewing out demonic energy.
Kwaangg!
Having narrowly avoided the blast, I retreated far away and immediately straightened Serperns, pumping up aura in the blade.
Lilith’s magic energy that had been rushing towards me was canceled out when it met my aura.
“Hah, hah, hah……”
Lilith, who had succeeded in shaking me off and increasing the distance, was gasping for breath. The sound of her ragged, harsh breathing mixed with the sound of her scythe blade scraping against the floor.
She took on a fixed stance with the head of her scythe pointing downwards, her fighting spirit was much more refined.
And that told me that Lilith plans to strike with all her might.
“Okay, try it.”
I immediately cast my ultimate barrier. A silver citadel was raised to protect the others and I also raised my Aura.
It ends with this one last exchange.
I stretched my right arm in a straight line and raised the whip sword high above my head.
Lilith cried out in spite.
“Die, Vanquisher of Evil!”
As the scythe is swung, a friction sound of ripping air was heard. I also stroke my sword down. The long, slithering blade stretched and pounced, ready to bite Lilith like a predatory snake.
Quagwagwagwang!
Even with closed eyes, I could feel it clearly.
My aura clashed with Lilith’s demonic energy and.
Piing-.
It pierced through.
With a clear sound, the white light extending from my whip sword pierced one point. My aura dug into the demonic energy and pierced into Lilith’s heart.
Kwajiji.
After the simultaneous sounds of destruction, the surrounding area fell silent.
“……”
I slowly opened my eyes.
At the center of my vision was Lilith, frozen in place.
There were four sword marks, that looked like long fingernail marks, on the floor and wall behind her.
Agnes explained the situation.
<The moment she was attacked, she used her scythe as a shield to disperse the power.>
“It was a pretty good move.”
<Yes, it was pretty good. But……>
Clang.
The giant scythe fell from Lilith’s hand to the floor.
Lilith, who had returned to her original form, dropped to her knees.
“You win, Vanquisher of Evil.”
“……”
There was nothing to reply to this obvious outcome.
The Succubus Queen’s body began to shatter like glass from the edges. As she died beautifully, she lifted her head towards the ceiling.
“Lady Anaxia……”
A will flew out of her purple lips while her moist eyes traced a presence that would be seated in the highest place in the castle.
“Carpeios, that bastard is no good……”
Passasasak.
Lilith’s body was instantly shattered into pieces and the powder was fleetingly scattered in the air.
[<Skill> ‘Queen’s Might’
The three great powers of a Succubus Queen are charm, stamina, and power.
Among those three, this skill captures the essence of power.
Temporarily grants you as much strength as Lilith.]
It’s been a while since I’ve had a skill that’s been so useful. Now there will be no need to be pushed back in a power struggle.
After finishing a happy looting time, I neatly inserted Serpens into the scabbard and turned around.
“Is everyone okay?”
Most of the familiar faces were looking at me with half-stunned expressions.
Among them, I waved my hand at Frintz.
“Brother, long time no see.”
Frintz suddenly came to his senses and spat out a series of questions.
“Are you really Eli? What happened? Why are you here?”
“You know The Chosen One, who decided to participate in the subjugation as a representative of the Church this time?”
“Yes.”
“That’s me.”
“What……?!”
Frintz’s light blue eyes, which resemble our father’s, were about to pop out.
I continued my explanation with an awkward smile.
Only my mom and grandpa knew that I could use Descent of Divinity, and I confessed it to my dad during my last vacation, but my brother wasn’t home so I couldn’t tell him.
“In the meantime, I didn’t have a chance to use Descent of Divinity because I was only living inside the castle. So I didn’t have a chance to tell it to my father and brother.”
In truth, I was concerned about hiding the penalty more than the Descent in itself, but that part was adapted accordingly.
“I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to tell you before this whole mess started, and I hope you don’t feel too bad about it……. Hey, brother. Are you listening to me?”
“My younger sister is a Saint……She is not just any saint, but the Chosen One……”
“……”
Hmm, it looks like the shock was severe.
“Brother, get a grip.”
“My younger brother suddenly said that she is a High Saint of the Church. Put yourself in my shoes. If I suddenly told you that I was the prince of a country, would you be immediately convinced……?”
“Of course I would be shocked, but you need to get a grip because I still have some important things to confess.”
“Wh-what is it? Is there anything else….?”
“Actually, brother is similar to royalty, because brother and I are the grandchildren of Prince Hispenril.”
“……What?”
Frintz looked as if his brain had shut down.
Since his brain couldn’t process what his ears were telling him, Raywin summarized for him.
“If you think about it, The Chosen One is the granddaughter of Prince Hispenril, so it was said that she would come representing both the Church and the Principality.”
“……”
Frintz blinked wildly.
I continued because it felt like he was urging me to hurry up and finish explaining.
“Well, it’s not like you never met, you know our grandfather who usually comes to the castle every Thanksgiving to eat turkey? He was none other than Prince Hispenril.”
“……”
“It’s a well-known fact that the relationship between Prince Hispenril and the princess was so bad that the princess ran away from home, so I’m sure brother can probably guess that princess is our mother.”
“……”
“Well, actually, I was going to keep the secret until Mom told Dad and Brother first. But looking at the current situation on the continent, I thought it would be difficult to just hide it. I feel sorry about intercepting Mom, but I need to borrow some of Grandpa’s power……Huh? Brother? What’s the matter? Wake up!”
“……I think it would be better to explain it again later.” freewebnov(e)l.com
“I guess so. Jeez, what to do with this brother.”
I placed Frintz, who had a limp body as if his soul had escaped, against the wall.
Deciding to give my brother time to recover from hearing the secrets of his birth, I turned to face Raywin, who had just spoken.
I smiled and greeted him.
“It’s been a while, Little Duke Wallenstein.”
“Uh, Km–Hum! Yes, it’s been a while.”
Raywin accepted the greeting with a slight flinch, avoiding eye contact.
“Unlike my brother, the Little Duke doesn’t seem to be too surprised?”
“That’s because back in the Obsculia Dungeon, I sensed that your divine power was very high……. When it was rumored that a Saint had appeared, I thought it might be you.”
“Ooh.”
Come to think of it, with Raywin and Ash’s skills, it was natural to feel that my divine power was at the 8th rank.
“Actually, I can’t overcome the surprise that you’re the granddaughter of Prince Hispenril. I couldn’t have guessed that the Duke you knew back then was the Duke of Hispenril.”
“Haha.”
While I was laughing awkwardly, Raywin asked in surprise, as if something had suddenly occurred to him.
“B–By any c–chance, was I rude to you back then?”
“Not really. If it weren’t for your natural poise, I don’t think I would have even known that you were a noble. You’re so well-mannered.”
“Thank goodness. That……If you want, I’ll use honorifics from now on.”
“Really? Can you do it?”
“As you wish.”
The sight of him solemnly clenching his fists was very funny, but I decided to stop there.
Because Raywin was not the type of person who could understand jokes.
“That’s fine. You’re my brother’s friend. Please treat me comfortably.”
“……Then you too.”
“Me too?”
“Khh-hm. You can call me Raywin instead of Little Duke.”
I didn’t have time to reply, because Frintz snapped out of his daze and intervened.
“Have you two ever met? How do you know each other?”
Completely different from when he heard his little sister’s secret and the secret of his birth earlier, his eyes were sharp and full of vigilance.
Raywin explained.
“During my knight training journey, I was once in danger after falling into an S-class dungeon, and your sister saved me, so to speak, my……km-hmm, I guess you could say a lifesaver.”
“Wait a minute, Raywin.”
“Why are you like this, Frintz?”
“Perhaps, earlier that…”
“Earlier?”
“The person you saw in the mirror……?”
“Uh! Oh, t–t–that……!”
Suddenly, Raywin’s face turned bright red and he didn’t know what to do.
“What mirror?”
I was curious so I asked.
“That’s strange……whomp!”
“Oh, that, that was! Nothing! Don’t mind him!”
[‘The Scales that Judges the Soul’ props her chin with both hands and watches with interest.]
At this point, I started to think about something other than the conversation from earlier.
‘What are these two doing?’
Raywin, who always keeps his distance from others, is covering Frintz’s mouth with his right hand.
The fact that this kind of casual contact is possible is a sign of…….
“You two look pretty close, don’t you?”
