==============

A dark red torrent.

Black frost storm.

The Third Princess arrived at the center of the battlefield where war and death clash.

“Edanant!”

early.

I was in too much of a hurry.

The monster was alive and well.

The divinity of fortune and the power of words were also completely unified.

I suffered an injury due to excessive use of language, but it was only a minor injury. The fierce frost storm that enveloped the beautiful monster with flowing white hair showed that it was still alive and well.

Kwagwagwagwagwa—─!!!

Is it because an unexpected variable appeared?

The frost storm became more intense.

A sharp murderous intent welled up in the monster’s eyes, which were burning with white and black light.

“It will be difficult to hold out for long!”

“The Third Princess! Everyone, we must withdraw immediately… !”

Kagak. Kagagagak.

A dark red torrent and a black frost storm simultaneously battered the defense shield deployed by the archmages. With an ominous sound, the shield slowly cracked.

It’s hard to endure.

The inside of the Demon King’s Castle was thoroughly polluted by the deity of misfortune.

For humans, deity was considered a benevolent blessing expressed through faith. However, as with all medicinal herbs, if the limit is exceeded, it becomes a poison far beyond the lethal dose.

If the defense shield is shattered, you have no choice but to be swept away by disaster.

In that case, even Elizabeth and other great wizards would not be able to guarantee their safety.

-Lisa!!

Elisabetta must be evacuated as quickly as possible.

Edanant, who sensed fear weighing down his entire body, let out a sharp yell. This is because the powder that symbolized the elixir of death raised its great sword of cold in the direction where Elisabeta was located.

but-.

A completely unexpected event occurred.

The giant of death has stopped.

He even lowered the great sword that had been raised above his head.

Control of the powder was lost for unknown reasons. The monster stretched out its grip and repeated commands to the Ashes of Death, but for some reason it did not budge.

“Dae, why on earth… ! Why isn’t it moving?!”

An empty shell that has completely lost its sense of self.

The elixir of death, completely swallowed up with Beatrice, is nothing more than a tool.

I must have fallen into eternal sleep.

Of course, control of all powers, including control of the body, belongs to the person himself.

Nevertheless, the result was that Death, who was just an empty shell, refused orders. The monster showed embarrassment bordering on panic at the giant’s reaction, which was not even dreaming.

-Come, my alter ego.

“The Third Princess… ?”

Elizabeth, who was protected by the archmages, took a step forward and stretched out her hand.

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

The archmages who were looking at the back of the princess with her lovely blonde hair felt fear from an unknown sense of intimidation.

Kwasik!

The shield that dangerously blocked the whirlpool of ash was destroyed.

A dark red torrent flew in.

Subsequently, a pitch-black frost storm also targeted Elisabetta and the archmages.

However, no disaster occurred due to the devastation of misfortune. This is because when Elizabeth, who was in the lead, made a gesture, the torrent and frost storm split to the left and right and went out of the way.

Kwagwagwagwagwa!!!

At the same time, the giant of death struck down his great sword.

Surprisingly, the target of the hostility was a monster that was in control.

“How dare you be an empty shell… !”

Crack.

I gritted my teeth as I glared at the giant who was completely out of control.

Although a raid launched from behind was avoided, control was still not restored. This is because the frost giant I had summoned was completely taken over by the woman who appeared with the old men who were nothing more than minnows.

-Are you sure you can completely tame death, nameless being?

“You can’t believe it… !”

-I will get back the godhood that was taken away from you. The vessel I chose is not yours.

“Only a ghost with only dross remaining!”

Elizabeth was accepted as a vessel.

Although he used the expedient method of contacting someone through a dream, it was enough to appoint him as an apostle.

Elisabetta von Valtaria.

The third princess of the empire was appointed as the new apostle of death.

It was an orthodox successor that contrasted sharply with the variants that were born through a mixture of the saint’s miracles. As if to show him, the Ashes of Death, who had possessed Elisabeta, commanded him, and the frost storm gradually eased.

-Elizabeta… , probably not. Is it the ash of death?

-You took a lot of trouble to lead me here, war.

The ash of death stretched out a white hand.

It was an indirect request that it was okay to kiss the back of his hand. Edanant tried to ignore him.

-What happened to the magic tower lord?

“G, now with Acrich… He is on a par with the wise man who was reduced to undead!”

How does a mother feel when she has to fight with her son who has been reduced to a cursed being?

It’s miserable.

My heart was definitely torn as if my heart had been torn apart.

The tragedy caused by unfortunate fate ultimately led to the catastrophe of the mother-child relationship, which had been full of love. In response to the archmage, Edanant swallowed his sleep and nodded.

-Leave this to us and join the magic tower lord.

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

-When Beatrice wakes up, those who have been reduced to undead will also return to their original appearance. In reality, it wouldn’t have been a living corpse. So just hold on no matter what.

“I understand… ! I will tell that to the magic tower lord!”

The archmages who had guarded Elizabeth turned their steps.

Edanant, who was looking at their backs, confronted the monster with the ash of death.

“Hmph… . At best, it’s a remnant that is parasitic on humans and the like. Your body will still be in eternal sleep with that foolish woman, right?”

Kugugugugugugugugung──.

The frost giant collapsed, throwing out huge fragments. It appears that they decided to discard the powder body, perhaps because they judged that there was no way to regain the initiative.

The Ash of Death let out a deep sigh as his clone, which was an exact replica of himself, collapsed in a miserable way.

-It’s truly rude to make my beautiful body useless. Even if it’s just an alter ego, it’s definitely a masterpiece that imitates Jim’s beauty even to a tenth degree.

A god who possessed a severely ill patient with narcissism spoke with full narcissism.

Is that his original personality?

Or is it Elizabeth’s influence?

Either way, it was a pain in the ass.

I felt dizzy at the sight of Jae-eok, possessed by Elisabeta’s body, talking and talking.

“I don’t know how he pulled off such a trick… , after all, you are nothing. I still have control. You probably know it well.”

-It’s no reason to worry. I’ll get it back.

The odds of winning are slim.

There were only a few of the gods of death who possessed Elizabeth.

Possession was only successful using an imperfect expedient method. Although he showed an ability to snatch control of the frost giant in one go, it was pitifully lacking compared to the monster that completely ate the godhead.

-Hmm.

As I stretched out my hand, frozen particles gathered.

Eventually, the particles took the shape of a huge sword.

A blade forged with cold energy.

The blade and hilt were carved out of blackened ice.

Although the size was clearly different, it was definitely the greatsword the frost giant was armed with. Elisabetta’s slender hand held a heavy greatsword, creating a strange sight.

-War! It’s time to get back the body and all the power that was taken away by that thing!

-How dare you give an order? If it was Liza’s order, I would of course obey it… I don’t want to take orders from someone like the one who started the war.

The mastermind who mobilized the Demon King’s army and the forces of cultists to start a racial war is none other than the Ashes of Death.

That’s why Edanant expressed his contempt.

It’s for Beatrice.

I had no choice but to join hands to save the saint.

Edenant, who made his decision clear, asked the Deathly Master how to save Beatrice.

* * *

Card done-.

Coog play. Kugguggeuk-.

The fallen angel’s chains bound Acrich following the Mercenary King.

A blue flame filled with coldness emerged.

However, Acrich’s resistance was blocked by the dispel deployed by the magic lord.

The sage then activated the transfer magic, but Querissa’s response was much faster. Querissa activated Dispel again, disrupting the concentration of magical power needed for transfer magic.

-Bea… Beatrice… ! Ahhh!!

Even though he lost his reason and became a cursed being, his frozen heart burned brightly to protect the saint he loved.

Facing the ghost’s desperate appearance, Querissa let out a bitter smile and mournfully stroked the skull with flashing blue eyes.

“Now all that remains is the mercenary king… , there is only Abyss Knight.”

“Let’s go and join Mr. Uncle. You must have been very tired.”

Ludmilla and Zeveline, who had sealed Acrich with the magic tower lord, turned their heads and looked in the direction where Maximilian was engaged in combat with the swordsman who had been reduced to undead.

We have reached the end.

It won’t be long now since Edenant and Elisabeth will return with the second saint.

The loud roar and shaking that spread around the Demon King’s Castle continued to stimulate anxiety, but for now, I had no choice but to trust it and leave it to it. This is because the Abyss Knight was still continuing its resistance by making a first advance against Maximilian.

thud-.

thud-.

The moment you take a step,

A shaking was sent towards Ludmilla and Zebeline.

It wasn’t a shock wave from the Demon King’s Castle. The shaking of the ground that was now felt was coming from beyond the steep valley.

Over a thousand troops -.

It was clearly the Holy Knights of the Holy Empire raising the banner of the temple.

As the Holy Knights who worshiped the One God got closer, the Three-Headed Dragon of Tyranny and the Fallen Angel of Hunger instinctively showed their hostility. This meant that if the Earth Mother’s loyal dogs were to commit an attack, they would respond immediately.

But no disaster occurred.

The troops of the Holy Emperor, who were slowly besieging the Demon King Castle, stopped their advance all at once as they got closer.
