Chapter 39 (2/2)

However, as she was called bythe way people remembered her as separate monsters

“You are not a devil, that hat that child……Tirnanog had said”

『Hmm Then if I am not a devil, what am I?』

“Palug-san, are you the angel who gave the Founder King the capability to control the dragons?”

Palug placed her golden hair-covered forelimb on her chest, looked up to the Heaven with an ecstatic smile

Her shoulders trehter

『Kukuku……ahaha, AHAHAHAHAHA—

I am impressed, Ericojouchan

In just a few short years, two people have already uncover my true identity

Moreover, one of them is a wonitia

I have lived for thousands of years, but this is my first time』

Suddenly, Palug ceased her laughter and boith an elegant gesture

『That’s right, alchemist Erica Aurelia

I aer of the only Supreme God

One as born fro the world

The name that God bestowed me was Pestilence

The nanitia of the First Generation, was Cath Palug

I aer

I am the One ield the Sword of Fire

I am the One who remove the disease and control the serpents

I a children and hear people’s wishes……or I was』

As if there was a shi+ up, my field of vision was distorted for a moment

Fro, thick liquid like droplets of blood were falling down her cheek like tears

The light eed from white to red, and as if to be in sync with the left eye of Palug, strange red liquid flowed out

Before I noticed, the te so much that my body became sweaty

Despite this, I felt fear that h my spine this whole time

『I have lost my former power It is no more than a residue left

I used toothe va the wishes of the wise person and the kind-hearted person

I have lost soof Serpents, to consume many diseases, and to save the people I loved

For God, for people, I have done my utmost』

If her words were true, was she saying that she would perish as an angel?

Then, she was probably trying to give the astonishi+ng e of her own destruction

My instinct wanted el

But I couldn’t move my foot

『And yet, I was forgotten from the memory of the people

No one reer

No one will pray to me anymore

The source of our angelic power is human’s faith

If we lose it, we cannot replenish our di power

I thought that I would gradually disappear just like that

After one or two more times someone’s wishes come true……otherwise, in just ten years or so, I will be unable to maintain my existence and will disappear

I intended to accept that destruction—』

Palug cut off her words and stared at the unconscious Auguste

It was an expression that was filled with co

『But there was sootten……someone who needed me

It was this child

That’s right, Auguste gave ain

He ain

That’s why, I will not hesitate to dedicate this body and mind, I am not confused』

Her words closely reseuste’s words

It was a persistent dedication

Even if they devoted themselves to the sacrifice, they wished for someone else’s happiness

Even though it was only destruction that aiting for them both

“But then, after all, Auguste-sama’s ill not coh power left to uste-sama’s wish come true?”

『Yes, that is correct Even if I burned all uste’s blood, at most it could only hold for six years……no, four and a half years, I guess』

The period during which her existence could be inal

Maybe, that was because of her battle with Tirnanog

I wondered if there was anythe life of a little child

“Palug-san, let’s stop If this continued, both of you would only be unhappy Wouldn’t it be fine to give up the contract and spend your reuste-sama?”

『Yes, that’s right……I alanted to do so, if possible But, Ericojouchan, I have already decided I will use all rant my precious prince’s wish』

“Palug-san……”

『Because, the sacrifice to gain power co There is no need for me to prepare myself for extinction』

For Palug, Auguste would have been very important

I had been thinking for so

……Huh?

Wait aweird at the end

“……What sacrifice?”

『Noonder who Isn’t it the daughter of an alchemist who is smart, pretty, and exceptionally kind?』

Palug opened her mouth halfway, and raised the corner of her mouth

The ss exposed

The ertips, the more my blood was drained from my face

I felt my temperature had dropped due to tension and fear

My too-insensitive-sixth sense was ringing the warning bell at this time to the utmost

I wondered why I didn’t notice

It was not about uncovering Palug’s identity, her thoughts, or that kind of thing

She was a starving beast searching for power before she was a secretly dying guardian anted to give power to the prince, an angel atched the country, and so on

It was a death flag

There was a tre that couldn’t be break even with the power of the monster Zaratan

『Oh, poor you Tre like that

It’s alright I will not extinguish your existence

Your blood and soul will be transformed into power to

into power to fulfil the wish, but you will give me your body

I will live your life with your body

Hoonderful Erica Aurelia’s body will be uste』

The angel spoke words that were unfit of an angel

It was too shocking and the contents didn’t enter the brain properly

The only thing I could tell was that Palug’s plan for the future was impossible for me

Palug came closer slowly

I pulled out the Wand of Hold fro in mind

The invisible Curse of Petrification, which was a diluted extract froht on the head of the wand

But Palug’s feet wouldn’t stop

Only for afrom an anime battle

A simple wand attack wouldn’t hit her for sure

Even if I used invisible attacks or light speed attacks, they would be avoided before they could hit her by using the direction of the wand or aze

『Erica Aurelia You ca is difficult You only have to help me at the same time』

Palug s off her red nails

Every ti’s te

I gave a fleeting glance at the exit

If I could arrive at that point, I could block her access by the Wand of Wall of Stone or Wand of Barbed Wire that created physical barriers

Of course, since this was Palug, any barriers would be destroyed in an instant

But, what if there were countless physical barriers rather than only one or two?

In order to exercise the power of destruction, Palug had to cut down her own life

Thinking about the rees of the wands, it would be a fifty-fifty chance, but if I could set up a large aht be able to run away

(But……)

There were two probley

First,inside it

Another one was Auguste as unconscious in the opposite side of the exit

Considering the heavy bag, the distance of only 10 meters to the exit felt endlessly far

But if I ran away using the shortest route, I would have to give up on Auguste

Nonetheless, it was i Tirnanog, or carrying Auguste as on the other side of Palug

Even if I abandoned those two people in the first place, it didn’t necessarily mean I could run away

『At the very least, I will end you so that you will not suffer Goodbye, Ericojouchan』

Palug sloung her right hand down

I could see a condensed fla emitted from those claws

This was the light that defeated Tirnanog—was this the identity of the Sword of Flame drawn on the mural?

So silver flew from behind me just before the tip of the flame touched me

That flying thing collided with Palug’s arular movements

There was a loud sound as if heavywith each other

Her ar the flame was scattered

Palug quickly produced short flame nails on her left hand and slashed the object away

The piece of paper which had a ic circle on it was slashed into two, burned out in a moment, turned into ash and scattered

That was, perhaps the eastern……Harvan’s spell card?

As Palug flew back to Auguste, thousands of spell cards surroundedme

I had seen this spell before

It was the Protective Circle used by Harvan’s es

And, I only knew one person as good at this ic and tended to use the Protective Circle which was supposed to be a defense to attack

“I will be troubled if you kill this girl without per me”

A dialogue which so a rival character would say echoed

It was Klaus Harvan, thewith the voice
