Chapter 525: 525

“You sure got thrashed, Saint-sama! To be in such a sorry state from one hit, a frail human like you really is no match!”

Shouldering Lilixira, Beelzebub flies through the mist while laughing. Naturally, Lilixira has already used [High Rest] on herself, but the deep wound from Irushia’s [Dimension Claw] is still preventing her from raising her left shoulder. Her legs are similarly not working well, likely due to the remaining injury on her waist. She needs to get in contact with Ool, the user of the [Ligne] regeneration magic.

“Still… Whether it’s joining up with the others or getting an idea of the terrain, isn’t it a problem that you haven’t got any way to see other than relying on my eyes? Not to say I’m not talented.”

“Yes, you are indeed talented. If that weren’t the case, I would have inherited [Animal Realm] already and found another monster to use as a pawn.”

“Hah! You say it straight! Oi, Ool’s near.”

Beelzebub says, gliding down.

“…Also, please tell Aruane and Howgrey to return. Alexio has died, yes?”

“I only saw from afar, but yeah, I’m sure. Two of them escaped from Aruane, but one has been properly secured. As you ordered. I thought for sure she’d murder them. What’s with that brat, she’s more diligent than I expected.”

Via Beelzebub’s [Kin Eyes], Lilixira has a general grasp on the situation in this land of mist. Howgrey and Volk’s bout, Alexio’s passing, and Aruane capturing one of Irushia’s monsters have all been confirmed.

Using and forsaking the trump card that was Eldia so early was so that another powerful pawn could be obtained. A pawn that will have a strong psychological effect against Irushia, who has overwhelming stats… What Lilixira must do is turn one of Irushia’s underlings into a bound spirit through [Spirit Servant].

In order to bind to a new [Spirit Servant], she needs to cancel the experiences point acquisition from the target’s death. That is to say, it’s necessary for her to be present at the monster’s death. As a result, rather than killing Irushia’s underlings, priority is given to capturing them alive.

“Two of them escaped… I had wanted to kill the rest if we could secure one, but thinking about it, they may be useful alive as back up [Spirit Servants] for once the new one is destroyed. The mana cost of binding a new spirit isn’t trivial however, so that might not be very practical.”

“Oh oh, our great leader really is scheming up some terrifying ideas. Humans often say that monsters are wicked, don’t they? What kind of prejudice is that? In my birthplace in the Great Valley, there wasn’t a single one as underhanded as you, you know? If anyone got hungry, they ate; if anyone got sleepy, they basked in the sun. Cute rascals, they were.”

Beelzebub speaks, playing up his look of astonishment.

“…Ool’s current escort is?”

Lilixira asks curtly.

“Aah? It hasn’t changed since you picked her. Rather than that… We’re there, see.”

Beelzebub says as he touches down to the ground. In front of him, next to one of his fly monster kin, is the Holy Knight Alphiss and the regenerator Ool riding together on one of the dragon mounts. Upon seeing Lilixira, Alphiss lets out a small sigh of relief.

“Lilixira-sama, that injury…!”

Alphiss calls out to Lilixira.

“As long as I’m not dead, it isn’t an issue. After all, we have Ool with us.”

Ool glares at Lilixira while gritting his teeth.

“What- what kind of sure victory is this! That’s what you said! You even said it wasn’t a battle where we’d all die even if we lose! All lies! You tricked me!”

Tears spilling from his eyes, Ool condemns Lilixira.

“Even though- even though all I wanted to do was return to my village! Why’ve I got to to suffer like this?! Why?! What have I ever done for you to resent me?!”

Ool and Alphiss were watching over the dragon riders’ battle with Aro’s group from a safe distance. They had the duty of recovering anyone severely injured and restoring them with Ool’s magic. However, since Ool panicked even in that role and more or less became dysfunctional, they soon retreated from the battlefield early at around the same time as Aruane appeared.

“It looked like you were unsure about bringing him along, but… After all, was taking Ool with us a mistake?”

Alphiss asks Lilixira, who shakes her head in response.

“No, to get him to have an idea of the situation, the only option was for him to see the battlefield with his own eyes. I didn’t have any expectation that he would function from the get go. Besides, there’s already been a benefit from bringing him. As long as Ool is here, I can carry out risky plans that expose myself to the [Human Realm].”

Alphiss carries Ool down to the ground. Lilixira stands in front of him.

“I know what I’ve done is inexcusable, Ool. However, even so, I have no concern for how my actions appear. Alphiss, if it doesn’t seem like he’ll do as he’s told, you have my permission to use some degree of violence. As it will be a waste of mana, please don’t let him use regeneration magic on himself.”

“That’s… that’s your way of doing things, Lilixiraaaa?!”

Roaring, Ool makes as if to grab at Lilixira. Alphiss draws her sword and holds it at his neck, stopping him in place.

“Devils! Devils, all of you! What kind of Saint is this! What Holy Country?!”

Naturally Alphiss has no words to respond to Ool’s curses. Though she acts as Lilixira commands, she doesn’t believe her actions to be in the right at all.

“Lilixira-sama… with him at his wits’ end, it might be especially difficult for him to carry out his role.”

Alphiss questions her leader uneasily. She actually wants to say ‘Is it really okay to continue doing such a thing?’, but can’t bring herself to say that after all.

Lilixira nods slightly with a cold look.

“That’s true, we can’t keep persuading him mid-battle. I do have an alternative in mind, though it might be a little harsh for him.”
