Crimson blood spilled from those thin vermilion lips, drops like agate rolling down towards the corner of her mouth, slowly dripping to the ground under the influence of gravity.

Altrouge didn't bother wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. She raised her head, her crimson eyes fixed with extreme gravity on the giant face made of dark clouds in the sky.

Richard, standing at the church entrance and witnessing the entire process, clearly felt Altrouge's aura drop sharply, from its previously unfathomable level down to a point where he could perceive its limits.

Richard understood that Altrouge's injuries were not as superficial as they appeared, but he still didn't dare act rashly. His battle experience told him that a wounded beast was even more ferocious.

As if sensing that the sinner had not died, some mechanism slowly activated. The eyes of the giant cloud face gradually began to glow with brilliant golden light.

Altrouge felt the power of faith continuously gathering from churches across Europe, bitterness welling up in her heart.

As a hybrid of a True Ancestor and a Dead Apostle created by the Crimson Moon—the Black Princess feared no God. Even if the Biblical God of the Holy Church were still alive, she would dare to fight him.

But unfortunately, Altrouge was not currently at her peak.

After a life-and-death battle with her sister, the White Princess Arcueid, eight hundred years ago—her body had been left broken and battered.

She still hadn't fully recovered, her combat power only about thirty percent of her peak.

"...What utter humiliation!!" Looking at Caren radiating brilliant light before her, Altrouge ground her teeth and said hatefully. She had actually been injured by a defensive mechanism casually set up by a peer-level expert.

Although the opponent had utilized the faith accumulated across Europe over countless years, the fact that she was injured was undeniable.

As the eldest daughter of the Brunestud family, Altrouge wouldn't deny this fact, but it was precisely because of her status as the Brunestud eldest daughter that Altrouge felt humiliated.

"Revenge—when I recover, I will absolutely get revenge! Damn Yahweh—even if you've returned to the Counter Force, I will drag you back down to the Mortal World! The Brunestud name allows no stains!!!" Altrouge gritted her teeth.

The Giant Face formed by dark clouds seemed to have gathered enough power, its mouth slowly opening.

But Altrouge made no preparations to defend herself—because there was no need.

Awoooo—!!!

A savage beast's roar echoed through the sky.

The next moment, a massive torrent of magical energy blasted out from a hundred meters away, striking the dark clouds like a laser beam.

"A Basic technique—Magic Bullet?" Richard looked bewilderedly at the massive beam of magical light several meters wide.

This wasn't magecraft as he knew it; he had seen Magi use Magic Bullets before, but those were only the size of ping-pong balls!!!

"Primate Murder—!!!" A steady male voice suddenly reverberated from the sky.

The dark clouds covering a thousand-meter radius were sliced in half, revealing the brilliant starry sky. Starlight shone down upon the earth unscrupulously.

However, it wasn't very effective. The moment the dark clouds were severed, they instantly reformed. The terrifying slash and the dark clouds immediately entered a stalemate, repeating the cycle of severing and repairing.

"Awoo~!" Just then, a sound like a coquettish whimper suddenly rang out. A white, mysterious creature appeared before Altrouge's slender legs, continuously rubbing against them.

Pure white, wavy fur, a pair of long rabbit ears, resembling a cat, a dog, a rabbit, and a squirrel—in short, a very strange yet exceedingly cute creature.

Richard looked at the adorable creature fawning at Altrouge's feet, his face crumbling, reason and instinct constantly warning him.

'Will die! Will die! Will die! Will die! Absolutely will die!'

"Primate... Murder!!!"

The Black Princess Altrouge had only one pet—the monster created by Gaia, the Beast of Gaia, possessing the absolute privilege of slaughter against primates, i.e, humans.

To humans, this cute creature was a species that brought certain death upon contact.

In the Holy Church's danger ranking of the Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors—it ranked first.

[First Ancestor—Primate Murder 'The White Beast'.]

——

"...How cruel! Such a handsome young man, actually dismembered! How utterly cruel!!!" A sorrowful male voice suddenly rang out.

Golden hair tied back in a braid, wearing a blue and white knight's uniform, a knightly sword strapped to his left thigh with a leather belt—a handsome young man resembling a knight from a fairy tale picked up Roa's head from the ground, his face full of sorrow.

Eighth Ancestor—White Knight Blood, the famous lover of beautiful boys, also a thoroughly gay man.

Richard looked up at the battle overhead, his face contorted in grief. "The one fighting the protection mechanism above is probably the Sixth Ancestor—Black Knight Rizo-Waal Strout. I knew it; how could the princess appear without her guards..."

"Well done, Fou." Altrouge extended her fair wrist, stroking the head of the White Beast.

"...Your Highness, what big trouble did you get into today? Even a Divine Spirit who returned to the Counter Force long ago has appeared." The White Beast, called Fou by Altrouge, looked helplessly at Caren, who was radiating divine power fluctuations.

"...Let's ignore that for now. Take this little girl away; I want her as my personal blood source!" Altrouge raised her head, reaching towards Caren.

Just then, Caren's vacant golden eyes suddenly changed. Deep gray eyes slowly replaced the original pupils.

Sensing the abrupt change in aura from 'Caren,' Altrouge's expression shifted slightly. With a light tap of her toes, she retreated like lightning back to Fou's side, looking at 'Caren' with uncertain eyes.

"A Divine Spirit's main body descending?... Damn it! Your Highness, your injuries are too severe. Please retreat temporarily." Fou instantly swelled, transforming into a giant demonic hound, speaking urgently.

After a moment's hesitation, Altrouge took a deep look at 'Caren,' then leaped lightly onto Fou's back.

The White Beast's four legs exerted force suddenly, transforming into a streak of white light, snatching White Knight Blood and leaping away into the distance.

"Was the mechanism triggered? Someone dared to touch my 'reserve wife'?"

Haru, having just possessed Caren, frowned, watching the figures of Altrouge and Fou disappear into the distance like a trail of dust.

"Gaia's monster and the black-haired girl? Black Princess—Altrouge?"

——

After speeding for several dozen kilometers, Fou stopped under a large tree, spat,

Thump—!

Blood, who had been held in its mouth, was spat onto the ground.

"Why did we suddenly run away? Your Highness?" Blood picked up Roa's head with his right hand, dusted himself off with his left, and asked, puzzled.

"Didn't you see the situation just now?" Altrouge looked unhappily at Blood. She wasn't venting her anger at Blood, but rather feeling displeased due to her severe injuries forcing her to avoid battle.

"Apologies, Your Highness, my attention was captivated by this!" Blood held up Roa's head.

"Oh?" Altrouge genuinely became a bit angry this time. In such a dangerous situation, Blood was still thinking about gay stuff! Wait, in her impression, Blood wasn't that unreasonable.

"Is there something wrong with this head?" Altrouge looked doubtfully at the head in Blood's hand.

"This is the head of the 'Serpent of Akasha'!!!" Blood revealed a malicious smile.
