Science/Magic

The arrival of the Church of Fate and the Order of the Guiding Light turned the situation around.

In an instant, tens of members of the Church of Slaughter were killed. Under the swords and holy spells of the Church of Fate's most elite knight order, the men of the Church of Slaughter were unable to resist.

Moreover, Saintess Charise was supporting the knights with her holy spells, and the demigod, Kallevang Am, was leading the knights. Thus, the men of the Church of Slaughter could not oppose them.

"It looks like we are not too late." Charise smiled.

The face of the Saint of the Church of Slaughter turned ugly. He looked at Kallevang, who had stopped his beasts, and then at Charise with a dark expression.

"Is the Church of Fate going to interfere with us?" He snarled.

"What do you think?" Charise smiled sweetly. "You dared to attack our protegee. Do you think we are going to stay quiet seeing that?"

The face of the Saint turned ugly.

At the same time, Bloed arrived beside Charise and looked at her with a complicated and grateful expression.

"… Thank you."

"It's nothing. I promised you that our church would protect you, right?"

Bloed smiled wryly and nodded.

To be honest, he had never trusted the Church of Fate that much. But he had to admit that he felt extremely grateful to them now.

If they would have not arrived in time, then his lover and many of his friends would have perished at the hands of the Church of Slaughter.

Remembering that, Bloed glared at the Saint of the Church of Slaughter with eyes full of killing intent.

"Dammit…" He cursed and gripped his saber tightly. For an instant, he considered using [Overdrive] to attack them. But his rationality held him back.

Even if he used Overdrive, he was not sure he could kill any of them. Plus, he would fall unconscious after that.

Instead, he took a deep breath and looked at the girls.

"Are you alright?"

Liu Ying nodded before looking at the unconscious elf princess.

"We are alright. But Princess Elwha seems gravely injured."

Bloed nodded and walked towards her. After using his eyes to scan her, he realized that she had overloaded his soul power and mana to defend against the first attack of the Saint of the Church of Slaughter.

Fortunately, her situation was not grave. She just needed a bit of rest.

Meanwhile, the battle continued.

Now that reinforcements of the Church of Fate arrived, Regina and Eres became more daring.

Without having to worry about protecting Bloed, Regina's attacks became fiercer and fiercer.

"Damn it…!" One of the demigods facing Regina put on an anxious look. He filled a knife with mana and threw it towards the Valkyrie, but Regina just leaned aside and avoided it. She then took one step forward, appearing in front of the demigod instantly.

The demigod panicked and tried to retreat. But Regina was faster. She wielded her two energy sabers skillfully, sealing all his routes of escape.

Seeing the perilous situation of their ally, the other two demigods tried to help him, but one of them was stopped by Eres and the other had to face Regina's flying energy weapons.

In the end, the demigod was forced to resist Regina by himself, extending his knife in an attempt to block her blades.

But–

*Swish!*

The two energy blades cut cleanly through his body, dividing it into four parts.

Not even his weapon was able to protect him and it was cut together with him.

The sight of a demigod being killed so easily filled the other two demigods with fright.

He was the fourth demigod that died in this battle, and the second that fell under Regina's hands.

Seeing that, the other two demigods stopped hesitating and turned around to run.

They knew that if they remained, they would be killed by Regina and Eres. Even if escaping meant failing their mission, it was better than dying here.

However, neither Regina nor Eres planned to let them escape.

"Do you think you can just leave after trying to kill my master?" Regina growled.

Extending her energy wings, she flew towards one of the flying demigods, catching up to him in an instant.

The face of the demigod became ashen white. But then, an expression of madness appeared on his face, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

"Die with me then!"

With a roar, he roused his entire mana pool, letting it go out of control.

He was planning self-destroy!

But Regina's eyes glinted coldly. One of her energy blades shone brightly before emitting a ray of energy that extended until the horizon, piercing the abdomen of the demigod instantly!

The demigod's eyes opened wide in fear as he looked at his abdomen, where his mana core was located.

It had been pierced by Regina's attack.

"I already saw that trick before," Regina said indifferently. "It will not work on me again."

The lips of the demigod trembled as he looked at Regina with an expression of fear.

"… Monster."

Regina frowned, then, she swung one of her energy blades, and the demigod's head fell.

"Monster, huh…" Regina murmured to herself before looking towards the remaining demigod.

But to her surprise, she saw Eres standing in front of him, piercing his heart with her sword.

In the next second, transparent flames arose from her sword, consuming the demigod in seconds.

"… She is strong."

Regina could not believe that she was just at the A-Rank. Her power was too exaggerated for that.

Almost like–

"… My master."

Regina furrowed her brows when that thought appeared on her head. After all, Her master and Eres were siblings.

Was that a coincidence?

When she was lost in her thoughts, the battle against the men of the Church of Slaughter ended.

Regina looked in that direction and saw that one of the demigods of the Church of Slaughter was kneeling on the ground, and Kallevang's greatsword was piercing his chest.

However, she did not see the other demigod, the Saint of Slaughter.

"He escaped," Bloed explained when he saw her expression.

"Should I chase after him?" Regina asked.

But before Bloed could reply, a terrifying explosion shook Academy City.

Then, under Bloed's astonished eyes, a giant magic circle appeared in the sky, covering the entire city.
