Eaten By The Tyrant I Raised

“The situation of evacuation?”

“All the servants and attendants from other areas have managed to escape, but the knights have yet to emerge. It seems they are holding their ground until further orders are given.”

In Nisha’s absence, it was another member of the 0th Knight Division who stood guard. With a pale face, Lorne tightly grasped Nabel’s hand.

Never had he imagined the flames would rage so fiercely.

Crackle…

A more ominous sound echoed loudly. The tower would not withstand it for much longer.

“Do everything you can to prevent the tower from collapsing!”

Nabel gestured, and the magicians of the palace sprang into action.

Led by the most powerful palace magician, Lucel, their white magic circles radiated light once again.

[Rumble!]

Several colossal magic circles bore the weight of the crumbling tower. However, it seemed insufficient.

[Thud!]

The magic circles, unable to withstand the tower’s weight, shattered once more. The one that held out the longest was Lucel’s magic circle. But even his magic circle lasted no more than 30 seconds before crumbling.

“There are still knights who haven’t evacuated!”

Upon receiving the report, Lorne tightly gripped Nabel’s hand once again.

“The tower…”

Even she could see it tilting more and more. Nabel reassured her.

“The knights who remained behind are not reckless individuals, so the loss of life should not be significant.”

The fact that it wouldn’t be significant implied that there would still be casualties. Lorne sealed her lips firmly.

“I hope the tower doesn’t collapse. I hope no one gets hurt.”

That was the moment she had such thoughts.

Thump.

Belle stood before her. With its tail that had been swaying gently now raised high, Belle stared directly at the tower.

[Rumble]

A strange vibration spread around Belle. Not only the magicians who were preparing spells, but also the knights who were emerging from their defensive positions, all turned their gaze toward Belle.

Belle was emitting a radiant glow.

“The divine creature…!”

All eyes were fixed on Bellee.

Divine beings.

Living entities composed entirely of magic power, they were the closest beings to gods.

They possessed magic power incomparable to humans.

Rumble!

A massive magic circle unfolded beneath the tower. Merely looking at it was enough to make one’s eyes ache from its tremendous power.

Crash!

“Well…”

The sudden loud noise emanating from the top made the wizards sigh. It was their belief that the tower would crumble before the deity could properly wield her magic.

“Such a calamity…”

In one corner, a tearful wizard could be seen. It was only natural that the research materials he had devoted his life to would be consumed by the flames within the wizard’s tower.

The tower was also a symbol of the Western Empire’s wizards. As the tallest structure that could reach the heavens, its collapse left the wizards in disarray.

Thud!

The white magic circle created by Belle grew even brighter. And the people bore witness to a miracle.

“The fire…”

The flames were gradually diminishing. The crackling sound that had once filled the air was now replaced by the sound of the tower’s pillars settling back into place.

The tower touched by Belle’s magic was gradually returning to its original state.

Roar!

The debris of the destroyed building exploded outward, floating around the people. As if drawn by a magnet, the fragments flew back to their original positions in the tower.

And the blackened marks and flames that once consumed the tower slowly faded away, leaving no trace behind.

As if nothing had ever happened.

Naturally, the tower remained unaffected by the blaze and remained standing unscathed. It stood there as if there had never been a fire in the first place.

“…”

Nabel, who had forgotten to speak, turned to Lorna. Belle’s power was derived from Lorna, the owner of the deity.

Lorna, too, was astonished as she gazed upon the tower. She had merely wished for it to remain standing.

I hope the tower doesn’t collapse.

I hope no one is hurt.

That was her wish. With Lorna, the owner who had regained her strength, the powerful deity was able to restore even the crumbling tower.

“To the owner of the deity…!”

The wizards were at a loss for words, taken aback.

The wizards of the Eastern Continent’s temple were equally bewildered. Unlike the Western Continent, where the owner of the deity had appeared multiple times, there had never been a single sighting of the deity’s owner on the Eastern Continent.

No, it may have been a case of them unknowingly passing by.

“This can’t be…”

Mixed emotions filled the faces of the wizards who had come from the Eastern Continent’s temple. It was a blend of joy from witnessing the divine miracle and sorrow from having missed out on it on the Eastern Continent.

The current owner of the deity hailed from the Eastern Continent, so to them, missing out on the owner of the miracle was nothing short of a loss.

Of course, the expressions of those from the Southern Continent’s temple, who had known about the existence of the deity from early on, were far from pleasant.

Especially Lady Lida, the Countess, was biting her lip so hard that blood could have been drawn.

“She wasn’t that powerful, was she?”

Around that time, Belle, who had been radiating brilliance, gradually returned to her original form. Both the wizards and the knights from Lorna’s domain were looking at her.

Lorna was undoubtedly the owner of the deity, the most powerful sorceress beloved by the deity.

No further proof was needed.

“Ah.”

It was then.

Belle, who had withdrawn her magic circle, staggered. Her once gigantic body had shrunk and transformed into that of an infant. Just like when she first met Lorna.

And Lorna felt dizzy. It seemed as if the world was tilting to one side for a moment.

“…”

Before Nabelcould exclaim in surprise, “My lady!” she heard, Lorna slumped to the ground, unconscious.
