When ‘Oillet’ swung his fist towards the Monarch Palace barrier, she was slightly surprised to see that the barrier was still intact and only shaking.

“I didn’t expect this barrier to be stronger than I expected. It looks like I have to add a little more power to my punches.” ‘Oillet’ compressed her strength in her left hand and swung her fist a second time.

Booooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!

The barrier shook even more violently than before, but the result was still the same. The barrier was intact without the slightest scratch. It made ‘Oillet’ frown.

“I seem to have underestimated those irregulars. I didn’t expect any of them to be able to create a barrier like this. Apart from having a certain method that can prevent unrecognizable people from entering, the barrier also has extraordinary durability.” ‘ Oillet said in amazement.

“It looks like I need to stop playing around. I must immediately destroy this barrier and eliminate the four irregulars inside.” ‘Oillet’ gathered her strength in her left hand again. But before she could swing her fist, a golden light shot from within the Monarch Palace and stopped in front of ‘Oillet’. That person was Raphael, the principal of the Arcuz Grand Academy.

“How dare you cause trouble in my academy!” Raphael’s angry voice echoed in the sky above the Monarch Palace.

“I didn’t bother going in destroying the barrier, and one of the Irregulars came out of his cage on his own.” ‘Oillet’ said calmly.

“What do you mean by that?” Raphael frowned because he didn’t understand the meaning of the irregular word ‘Oillet’ uttered.

“Hmm… you don’t need to know. My purpose in coming to this place is only to eradicate the pests on the Clorius continent.” ‘Oillet’ said, and her figure suddenly disappeared from Raphael’s sight and reappeared right in front of him. ‘Oillet’ swung her fist, and Raphael had no time to hold back or dodge it.

Booooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Raphael was blown away until he broke through the barrier and disappeared into the Monarch Palace.

“Hmm… are irregulars this weak? Wasn’t that dragon defeated by one of them? Or maybe I misrecognized them? No, I’m sure he’s irregular. That means another irregular defeated that dragon.” ‘Oillet’ was confused because Raphael felt so weak.

The guardians of the continent exist to eliminate threats that come from existences that shouldn’t exist on the Clorius continent. Its existence is considered dangerous because it threatens the survival of the natives and may also destroy the continent.

The continent guardian can only manifest themself on the Clorius continent at certain times, whether it’s once a hundred years, once a thousand, or ten thousand years that no one can know.

Unfortunately, every time they reveal themselves on the Clorius continent, they will lose their memories of the past. They remembered only their duty to eliminate existences that shouldn’t have appeared on the Clorius continent or what they called irregulars.

Surprisingly, the heroes that were summoned from another world using the fragments of the world altar were not considered irregulars in the memories of the continent’s guardians but instead were considered saviors. Ziel should also be considered a savior. Unfortunately, he used reincarnation magic and had him reborn along with his memories and powers. It was considered a threat by the guardians of the continent.

So, what was embedded in the memories of the guardians of the continents was only about the strength of the irregulars who could harm the Clorius continent and its inhabitants. But ‘Oillet’ didn’t expect this irregular she was fighting was not as strong as she had in her memory.

Queen Jasmine and the people who were still in the cafeteria were shocked after seeing something suddenly fall with a huge impact not far from them. When they wanted to check it, the thing that had fallen suddenly stood shrouded in golden light. They soon realized that the one who had fallen was the principal of the Arcuz Grand Academy, Raphael.

“That person is…”

“Ah, it’s the principal!”

“Who could make the principal like that!”

The academy students in the cafeteria screamed in panic after seeing that the person who had fallen was Raphael. They quickly understood that Raphael was facing a powerful opponent by looking at it.

Queen Jasmine and the others were speechless after seeing the situation. Then Raphael shot through the hole where he had fallen earlier.

Ziel narrowed his eyes and caught a glimpse of ‘Oillet’ from the hole formed in the ceiling. He pondered and reopened his memories of the guardians of the continent from the ancient book he had read.

“She is… a Sacred Demonel?” Ziel compared the characteristics of ‘Oillet’ with the features of the continent’s guardian described in the book. He was almost sure that the guardian of the continent who had come this time was a Sacred Demonel. What made Ziel less confident was that the current appearance of the Sacred Demonel was different from the one described in that book.

“Sacred Demonel?” Kalya asked after hearing Ziel’s words. Not only her but everyone around Ziel, including Azalia, turned their attention to him. Even though Azalia knew about the guardians of the continent, she had very little knowledge of them. She doesn’t know the names and characteristics of all the continent guardians.

“What is the name of the guardian of the continent? How did you know that?” Azalia added another question.

“I still can’t say for sure. But if I don’t identify her wrongly, she’s a Sacred Demonel. I found out from the book I bought in the imperial capital.” Ziel answered without taking his eyes off ‘Oillet’.

“Eh, the book you bought in the imperial capital? Could it be that you mean that book?” Azalia was shocked. She remembered the book she had fought over with Ziel during their first meeting.

“You are right. That book.” Ziel nodded in response.

“Haa… If I had known that book was so valuable, I might have defended it even harder.” Azalia said disappointedly. Even so, her lips smiled beautifully after recalling those memories. Then she subconsciously glanced at Kalya.

Clara and the other girls who knew Ziel except Kalya and Lilith had no idea what they were talking about. Kalya gritted her teeth, knowing that Azalia was bragging about her memories with Ziel to her.

“Can you not reminisce about your past at a time like this?” Kalya couldn’t help but feel annoyed in her heart because of Azalia’s words.

“Ahaha…I’m sorry that I got carried away.” Azalia smiled apologetically. But everyone there could see that she was pretending and not being sincere.

“You!” Kalya is at a loss for words. She didn’t know how to respond. Ziel couldn’t help but open his mouth and stop their bickering.

“Okay. stop your bickering.” Ziel looked at Azalia and Kalya. The two girls fell silent, and neither dared to say a word.

(Great! With just one sentence, he can make the two cold ladies so submissive!)

Princess Seira muttered in admiration in her heart when she saw Azalia and Kalya stop their bickering instantly after listening to Ziel’s words. She didn’t expect the two strong and cold women to put on such a face and be willing to obey a man’s words.

Clara pouted seeing the closeness of the two girls to Ziel. It wasn’t just her. Princess Iris and Kyouka felt the same way as her. When Clara was about to say something, Ziel suddenly turned his gaze to her.

“My lady, you better leave this place immediately and gather with the people from the Piqmentia Grand Academy.” Ziel said seriously. Then he looked at Kalya and the other girls.

“You guys better get out of here too. Because the purpose of the Sacred Demonel coming to this place was me. Not just me, but the principals of this academy, Lilith and Azalia.” Ziel told the girls the truth. He had no other choice but to fight against the Sacred Demonel, and he did not want to involve them in his battle.

“Eh?” The girls around him were shocked. Even Azalia and Lilith had the same expression on their faces but for different reasons.

Clara and the others were shocked to hear Ziel asking them to leave. The reason for Azalia and Lilith was that neither of them expected that they were the purpose of the Sacred Demonel’s appearance in this academy.

“How did you know about that? Is it from that book too?” Azalia asked curiously.

“You…” Kalya wanted to reply to Azalia’s words because she brought back her memories, but Ziel cut her off first.

“No. I know it because of this.” Ziel pointed at his forehead, and a ball of aurora light appeared. After that, the light formed a miniature of the nine-headed dragon that once appeared in the Elven Kingdom.

“Nine-headed imperial dragon!” Queen Jasmine was startled and reflexively stepped back. It wasn’t just her. Clara and the other girls were overwhelmed by the aura released by the miniature nine-headed dragon.

Kalya and Lilith responded calmly since they already knew about it. But still, they couldn’t get too close to the creature because the pressure it released was terrifying despite its tiny size.

“You… how come the guardian of the continent is inside you?” Azalia said in a slightly trembling voice. She didn’t expect Ziel to have something like that in him.

“This is my contracted spirit, or maybe I should say so?” Ziel wasn’t sure if the nine-headed dragon was a spirit or not.

“This doesn’t make sense…” Queen Jasmine smiled bitterly. She knew Ziel could use spiritism. That way, Ziel could contract with spirits. Contracting with spirits was extremely difficult, even for the elves.

But instead of searching for high-level spirits, Ziel had contracted with one of the continent’s guardians, the nine-headed imperial dragon. If Queen Jasmine had not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that anyone would contract with such a monstrous creature.

“That’s why you must leave immediately…” Ziel wanted to ask Clara to leave that place immediately. But a voice of rebuttal rang out and cut off his sentence.

“I don’t want to do it! I will be here with you!” Clara said in a high voice.

“Yes! I can’t leave you alone with that woman.” Kalya glanced at Azalia.

“We will also stay here!” Princess Iris also had no intention of leaving Ziel behind. Kyouka nodded firmly and agreed with her words.

On the other hand, Queen Jasmine, Princess Seira, and Princess Irene were at a loss as to what to do. They wanted to stay in that place because they felt that the safest place right now was where Ziel was.

But they knew that Ziel’s words were true. If they stayed there, they would only be a burden. Therefore they reluctantly had to leave that place. They also had to inform the teachers, academy students, and guests within the Monarch Palace and quickly evacuate them before the big fight broke out.

The remaining people in the cafeteria besides Ziel were Kalya, Clara, Kyouka, Lilith, Azalia, and Princess Iris. Ziel couldn’t help but sigh heavily after seeing their unwavering serious faces and understood that the girls wouldn’t listen to him no matter what he said.

“Okay. For now, you can stay here. However, if a fight between the Sacred Demonel and me occurs, I want you to flee from this place immediately. I hope you will listen to what I have to say.” Ziel said seriously.

Ziel wasn’t sure that he could defeat the Sacred Demonel even if his strength and the nine-headed dragon combined. The Sacred Demonel abilities described in the book were dangerous even to him, so he didn’t want the girls to get too close to him and be affected by their battle later.

The girls could only nod after seeing the look on Ziel’s face. They realized that Ziel was doing this for their safety. Although the girls were disappointed that they couldn’t fight with Ziel, they realized that they would be useless if they stayed in that place and would only be a burden to Ziel.

The girls clenched their fists tightly and vowed in their hearts to become stronger so that they could fight alongside the man they loved.

“So, what are you going to do? Will you fight together with that principal and Azalia against the Sacred Demonel? I think your chances of winning will be greater if you do that.” Kalya asked. She knew that Ziel already had a plan to confront that creature.

“Hmm…for now, I’ll watch their fight. I want that principal to test first how strong the Sacred Demonel is. So I can think of the best countermeasures against it.” Ziel narrowed his eyes at Raphael and the Sacred Demonel in the sky.

Although Ziel is not sure he will win, he will try his best to defeat the Sacred Demonel because he wants to protect the people around him and his new life in this era.
