Novel Full Chapter 166
—–
Within the interior of the manor, Elisabeth suddenly sensed the powerful shockwave of demonic energy clashing over the house. The energies were almost phantasmal, crossing through physical objects with ease! Elisabeth, the young apprentice priest who was even referred as a future saint knew that this energy could be deadly to people! Without thinking it twice, she ran with Gabriela inside the room where Lady Treebark, her son, Seth, and Jack were, and then unleashed all her Mana!
FLAAAAAASH!
A sudden flash of light emerged from within her, covering everything around her, she quickly shaped the entirety of the light into a big barrier, covering the entire room with it and saving everybody inside from the dark and red-colored demonic energies that clashed upon the entire building!
BOOOOMMMM…!
“Uuggh…!!!” Elisabeth groaned, as she pointed her open palms upwards, maintaining the barrier in place was an incredibly hard job to do, but she couldn’t really falter now, or she knew that the people could even die if they came in contact with so much demonic energies!
Lady Treebark and her son Carl panicked, asking the girl what was happening now.
“W-What is happening now?!” Asked Treebark.
“Mom, I’m scared…!” Cried Carl.
The young and innocent Elisabeth smiled back at them, her eyes were innocent, but they were also filled with powerful conviction and strength.
“Don’t worry… Everything is going to be okay!” She said. “Trust… me!”
“Girl…” Muttered Lady Treebark.
“D-Damn it!” Cried Jack, grabbing a small flask on his pocket and drinking its blue contents, as his mana quickly regenerated! He moved towards Elisabeth and touched her shoulders, infusing his energy!
Crack… crack!
Just at that time, the barrier suddenly began to crack, the demonic energies were powerful! However, with Jack’s help, suddenly, holy chains emerged around the barrier, reinforcing it and tightly keeping it still, without cracking anymore!
“Big brother Jack!” Said Elisabeth, her eyes were filled with hope as she saw the red-haired hot-headed young man helping her.
“I ain’t letting a little girl do all the work!!!” He roared stubbornly.
“Ngh… I must help as well…! I don’t know what’s going on, but I know this is bad by just looking at all this sheer amount of demon energy in our surroundings!” Said Seth, waking up from his slight unconsciousness, as he had regained some Mana through his rest, and he infused it into the barrier created by Elisabeth as well, reinforcing it!
FLUOOOSHH!!!
Golden flames emerged, surrounding the chains and the barrier, fusing everything together into an enormous barrier made of golden chains created by fiery flames! The beautiful and almost blinding sight left the maids, Lady Treebark, and Carl completely baffled!
TRUUUMM…!
Suddenly, the demonic energies finally dissipated, as the surroundings started to be purified by the light emanated by the barrier, and it was finally safe to stop holding up the barrier.
FLASH!
The barrier quickly dissipated as if it were a bubble, as the three priests fell into their knees, gasping for air after having managed to protect the people.
“Hahh… Ugh… T-That was close…” Sighed Elisabeth.
“Yeah… What the heck is going on outside? That Cassandra woman is getting beaten by Ellergest, right? Is… is the old Ellergest winning, right?” Asked Jack nervously.
“What is going on outside?” Asked Seth.
“Lady Cassandra was found to be the culprit behind the poisoning of Lady Treebark, and she was accused of using Demon Sorcery, Lord Ellergest went to apprehend her, but she rebelled and is now fighting…” Said Elisabeth. “A-And Blank is there for some reason! I don’t know why he’s fighting against the woman as well, but somehow… He’s handling it, he’s very strong, actually!”
Elisabeth words were quite impactful, the priests had never expected the small Blank to be this strong, they knew he had a lot of talent for magic, and that he could somehow use different elements spells too, but to think he was also amazing at fighting was quite shocking, just how talented could this random boy be?
Frustrated over seeing how a kid was helping more than him, Jack decided to walk outside the room.
“I’ll go help Lord Ellergest, I can help in something at the very least, my chains can restraint that woman!” Said Jack.
“No, Jack, you mustn’t! That lady is too strong! She has made a pact with demons, she’s dangerous, not something we can handle!” Cried the little Elisabeth, almost convincing the stubborn young Jack if it wasn’t because he was too stupid to accept it.
“I’ll go anyways…! I have to help somehow or I’ll feel useless in here!” Jack said, opening the door of the room, as a sudden black fog filling the entirety of the manor greeted him!
“W-What the…?!”
And suddenly, from within, a large red-scaled tail emerged, with a spear-like bony tip, it pointed directly towards Jack’s throat, so fast he couldn’t react in time!
“Ngh…?!”
CLASH!!!
However, a metallic clash resonated in the surroundings, as Jack looked in surprise as a small red-haired girl wearing a gothic black dress emerged out of the shadows, protecting him from the scaled tail using a red spear!
“Huh?!”
Jack dumbly fell over his own butt into the floor, as he looked at eyes, dark claws, and figures emerge from within the black fog, they were… demons- No, they were people turned into Lesser Demons! Lady Treebark realized who they were based in their clothes, those clothes were the clothes that butlers used!
“T-Those are my butlers!” She said in surprise.
“GRAAAAH!”
The first butler jumped out of the black fog into the room, his entire body gained a red-colored skin and was covered in black spikes, with two demonic horns growing from his forehead and a enormous black claws!
The red-haired girl that had showed up, Eleanora, quickly began to clash against the demonized butler, using her powerful spear, she began to pierce through his body rapidly, surprising everybody!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“(My lord, the demonic energies had corrupted some of the people here… they became Lesser Demons!)” Said Eleanora, contacting Blake through telepathy.
