I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With

45 – Blue Roses Among the Daffodils (3)

Afterwards, the children continued to advance through the Demon Territory.

There were several battles with demons in the meantime, but the children achieved victory.

I didn’t take much damage in the battle, but the problem was the contaminated mana.

As we moved forward, the concentration of mana became thicker.

The number of children showing symptoms of mana poisoning has increased rapidly.

“Ugh…”

Even the strong Riley was trembling as if she had reached her limit.

“…Are you okay?”

Lecia walked up to her Riley and helped her up.

Unlike her children, Lesia was in very good condition.

He saved his strength when other children were fighting demons, but because he was naturally stronger than others, he had a high tolerance to polluted mana.

“It’s okay… I’ve barely left the halfway point and entered the deep end, but I can’t fall…”

Riley said she was fine.

However, in Lesia’s opinion, Riley’s words are a lie that borders on being unreasonable.

“After all, let’s go back. We need at least some rest.”

I’m not just saying this because I’m worried about Riley’s condition.

The children’s fatigue is accumulating due to the continuous battle.

Even as you go deeper into the demon spirit, more and more high-ranking demons are popping out.

They say they can win right now, but the number of children addicted to contaminated mana will increase, and their fighting power will decrease.

If this situation continues, it is obvious that the children will eventually be defeated by the demons.

To prevent that, it is best to escape the demon spirit and take a rest.

Riley also looked around to see if she understood the situation to some extent.

“You’re right. Anything more than this would be too much…”

“You’re finally admitting it. Okay, let’s go back. I’m not going to tell you to fight the wizard, so I’m going to at least ask the wizard if I want to rest.”

Riley was more stubborn than expected.

After watching him for a month during his training, Riley was not stupid even if he was not wise.

Lesia believed that she too had realized her own foolishness by this time.

“Daffodil! There are two high-ranking demons nearby!”

The boy who was acting as a scout hurriedly ran over.

Riley, who was about to leave, shook his head at the boy.

“Let’s ignore it and pass by. Two high-ranking demons are too much for us right now.”

“We can’t ignore them! They seem to be following us. They’re running this way from far away!”

“What…?”

Hearing the boy’s words, Riley and Lesia quickly turned around.

According to his words, a high-ranking demon with two goat horns is running in a straight line.

The two large guys rush recklessly, destroying the terrain.

“Let’s get ready to fight…!”

“Isn’t that too much? There are only 5 people who can fight right now…”

“But, you have no other choice! They’re faster, so you can’t run away, and there’s nowhere to hide!”

Lesia looked around wetly.

An area with a high concentration of contaminated mana, rocks and withered tree branches, and a red-stained sky.

There was no place to hide anywhere.

“…Okay. I’ll join you too.”

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way.

Right now, six people, including Resia and Riley, must deal with two high-ranking demons.

“It’s coming! Everyone, get ready!”

Each child grabbed his or her own weapon.

Riley grabbed his dagger tightly.

Lesia raised her long sword, which had been handed down to her by her mother.

The blade of the sword that has been used for decades has become dull, but it is still sharper than any other sword.

“It’s Kuraai…!”

“Recata…!”

Finally, the demons arrived in front of the children.

They tried to call out to the children, making cries that were close to screaming or screaming.

“…Are you ready, kids?”

Riley looked very nervous.

Of course.

The high-ranking demons we have encountered so far had multiple people dealing with one individual, but now five people have to deal with two demons.

Nevertheless, the children strengthened their will.

The spirit of the North did not allow it to back down even in situations that were close to impossible.

“Kerha…!!!”

The tall demon waved his tattered arms.

The arm is grotesquely bent, as if it has been forcibly stretched, and the flesh and skin are half separated and flabby.

“Ugh…!!!”

The boy with the shield blocked it.

“Please lend me your shoulder, Banshee!”

Grabbing her axe, the girl stepped on the banshee’s shoulder and leapt, slashing at her demon’s arm.

However, the ax did not pierce the skin as the tattered arm was stronger than expected.

The girl whose ax bounced landed safely.

“Ahh! Don’t step on other people’s shoulders Rebecca!!!”

“I’m sorry~”

“When everyone fights, focus on the fight!”

The large demon took advantage of Rebecca and Bansi’s carelessness and tried to hit them with its heavy legs.

The bridge, which looks as if the doors have rotted away and is stained dark, evokes disgust.

At that time, the boy who broke in blocked the demon’s legs with a spear.

“Petarina! Shoot!”

A girl named Peta Lina, who was waiting in the distance, fired her bow at the giant demon.

The arrow fired went straight through the demon’s eyes.

“Kaaa!!!!”

The demon who lost one of her eyes stepped behind her, grabbing her eye.

“hehehe… I owe you this, Rudy.”

“Really, what do I owe you in this situation…?”

A meaningless conversation took place between Rudy and Petalina.

With this, the battle progressed to the point where two people were dealing with one demon.

Lesia looked at the situation of the battle and ran towards Banshee and Rebecca, who were going at a disadvantage.

“What, princess, are you participating in the war?!”

“Don’t be weird and catch him quickly!!! It’s so hard to stop him!!!”

Lesia ignored the two talking nonsense and grabbed her sword again.

The tall demon’s skin looks very fragile on the outside, but it is not immune to Rebecca’s enormous attack.

Then, will Lesia be able to cut off her skin?

It will be possible.

Because she can use her magical power, which Rebecca does not have, as a weapon.

“…..”

Lesia concentrated her mind and collected fresh mana from around her.

A few seconds later, a chill that freezes the air flows from her sword.

“……! Rebecca! Match your movements to Lesia! Attract attention from the top and retreat when Lesia comes!”

“Huh? Uh, uh!”

Benshi realized what Resia was going to do and quickly gave an order to Rebecca.

Rebecca fought accordingly and fell back when she saw that Lesia was coming.

Thanks to this, Lesia was able to attack the demons without worry.

“Ugh!?”

The demons were taken by surprise without any chance to stop Lesia, who shot out like a bullet.

The frozen sword penetrated the thick leather and became embedded in the fat layer.

“Polar land.”

When the chant is recited, the cold air in the sword is released.

The deep-seated black demon begins to freeze inside.

The struggling demons were soon exterminated.

“Wow. Isn’t magical power really a scam? I didn’t even pierce the skin with the axe, but this guy just froze me.”

“It’s your fault for not being able to use your magic power.”

“I’m going to learn it later, too! When I get home, I’m going to ask my dad to go to the Magic Tower!”

“You’re going to the magic tower after being treated like this by a wizard…?”

“Of course! Dad said that if you go to the Magic Tower, you will have a successful life!”

Benshi, who knew that he usually blocked the party, but didn’t know it would be to this extent, sighed heavily.

“Anyway, let’s go help over there. Lesia, you can help too…”

The banshee had no choice but to look towards the large demon and open his mouth wide.

The demon had fallen to the ground after being brutally hacked to pieces.

That is not a problem.

The fact that the demon was defeated means that the party won against the demon.

But the problem is Rudy and Petarina who fell before the demons.

They too are brutally hacked to pieces and lying down in a similar way to the demonic bandits.

Leaving the banshee behind, Lesia trembled with her eyes and looked at someone above her demons and the two corpses.

“Ah~ I thought northerners had white hair and white skin and white blood, but that’s not true, right?”

The girl who was looking at the bloody dagger lightly licked the blood.

She was leisurely savoring it, not paying attention to the gaze of those around her, as if she had separated herself from her world.

She is a person that Lesia knew well.

Her red hair and eyes gave her a very different impression, but Lesia was not confused.

She smiled innocently and gave Lesia a flower with a special meaning…

“Soo, Seonhwa…?”

Rebecca called her in disbelief.

Riley then stopped indulging in blood and looked at the group.

“Oh, are you guys here? It looks like you caught the demon well.”

“What happened…? No, rather, what the hell are you…!”

Riley grinned at Rebecca’s question.

“Me? Me? Ugh…! You know? It’s me! Your precious friend and leader Narcissus.”

“Don’t lie! I feel a completely different magical power from you than from daffodils…!

Bansi was wary of Riley.

Lecia thought what Benshi said was completely wrong.

It’s nothing else, it’s something to hide.

Riley has been hiding her true identity from the beginning, hiding her magic from us.

“hehehe… Well, you can think of it that way. Then, shall I formally introduce myself again?”

Riley slowly comes forward.

The leisureliness of the strong oozes out of those steps.

“Demon God Cult Hianhwa Gathering, Red Riley Acid. I have come to plunge you into despair.”

The girl who calls herself Pianhua of the demonic religion, the enemy of humanity, at this moment…

“Ah… I like it. That face that falls into despair and can’t escape. Show me more details.”

I was smiling wider than ever.
