The Sacred Demonel intends to chase Raphael to where he fell. But before that, a golden light shot from the Monarch Palace towards him. The golden light was Raphael, and he looked fine despite being struck by the Sacred Demonel.

“As expected of an irregular. You won’t get hurt just from a normal fist from me. But I must eliminate you immediately and take care of the other three in that place.” The Sacred Demonel calmly watched Raphael’s appearance. He thought it was natural, considering Raphael was irregular and wouldn’t get hurt just from a blow like that.

“What exactly did you say?” Raphael frowned.

Even though Raphael knew about the incident of the nine-headed imperial dragon in the Elven Kingdom from King Regulus and knew that creature was the guardian of the continent, Raphael was still unclear about the origin and how mighty the nine-headed dragon was.

Due to the lack of information he had about the incident, Raphael didn’t know much about the continent’s guardians. He was also not a native of the Clorius continent and had just woken up from his long slumber not long ago. So his knowledge of the Clorius continent was still very shallow, and when he was confronted by one of the continent’s guardians, he could not recognize it.

The Sacred Demonel didn’t talk as much as before. The atmosphere around her changed drastically, and her face became solemn. She suddenly disappeared from Raphael’s sight, reappeared beside him, and swung her fist enveloped in jet black light.

“The same trick won’t work for me!” Raphael sneered. Then his figure disappeared before the Sacred Demonel’s punch hit him. Unfortunately, what Raphael did was in vain. The Sacred Demonel disappeared again after the blow missed its target.

Raphael frowned as he watched his opponents successively disappear from his sight. After he checked the surrounding, he couldn’t find the whereabouts of the Sacred Demonel, and a feeling of danger suddenly rose in his heart. Raphael was about to leave from where he was now, but it was too late as the Sacred Demonel’s fist was already in his face.

Booooooooooooooooommmmmmmm!

Raphael was hit by the Sacred Demonel’s attack a second time and was blown away hundreds of meters. It took their fight away from the Monarch Palace. But Raphael quickly stabilized himself in midair before he fell to the ground and intended to counterattack. Unfortunately, the Sacred Demonel chased after him and was already behind him to conduct a follow-up attack.

“Fast!” Raphael’s face became gloomy. The speed that the Sacred Demonel displayed was terrifying. He seemed to leap through space and arrived behind him in the blink of an eye. Raphael felt the Sacred Demonel’s speed made his attacks difficult to dodge.

Another fist of the Sacred Demonel was swung at Raphael, but this time with more force.

“Damn!” Raphael knew he couldn’t dodge that attack. Therefore he folded his wings forward to block the Sacred Demonel’s fist.

Celestial Defense

Raphael’s wings turned as hard as diamonds and blocked the attacks from the Sacred Demonel.

Clank!

Raphael remained hit by the impact and was blown away tens of meters. It made their battle even further away from the Monarch Palace.

“Huh!” The Sacred Demonel snorted and intended to chase after Raphael. But then he frowned after realizing something. He extended his left hand towards the Monarch Palace and created a barrier to block the three irregulars from escaping from there. After that, he pointed his left palm at Raphael.

Demolition Ray

A jet-black streak of light shot through space towards Raphael and obliterated everything in its path. Raphael’s face sank after seeing that attack. Whatever was touched by the black light disappeared without a trace. Raphael used all his strength to dodge the black light.

(Who exactly is this person!? Why haven’t I heard anything from King Regulus about such a powerful person in the Clorius continent! As I expected, the inhabitants of this continent are useless!)

Raphael cursed the king of the Beast Kingdom in his mind. He broke out in cold sweat from his forehead after seeing traces of damage from the attack from the Sacred Demonel. Then Raphael took out a golden sword and gun from his space storage. He couldn’t be half-hearted against such an enemy. Raphael had to use all his strength in that fight. Otherwise, he will die.

“Hmm… are you finally getting serious? Then I’ll get serious too.” The Sacred Demonel extended his left hand again to Raphael.

Demolition Ray

Raphael flew at full speed, dodging the Sacred Demonel’s attack. Unfortunately, the attack didn’t shoot in a straight line but instead took a turn and chased after Raphael. The enormous black streak of light was like a snake chasing its prey. Everything that came into contact with it disappeared or was destroyed without a trace.

The black streaks of light chased Raphael, but he didn’t seem to be dodging aimlessly. Raphael herded the light towards the Sacred Demonel. He charged forward to attack the Sacred Demonel and intended to have a head-on battle with a sword in his right hand and a gun in his left.

Raphael slashed his sword at his enemy. But he was shocked when the Sacred Demonel suddenly raised his hand, and white light gathered and formed a battle ax.

Embodiment of Things

A giant battle ax formed in The Sacred Demonel’s hand, and he swung it towards Raphael’s sword.

Clank!

The shockwave from the clash blew everything around them. Luckily they were currently fighting some distance away from the residents’ settlements. Otherwise, there would be a lot of casualties as a result of their fight.

Raphael raised his eyebrows when he saw the ax in the Sacred Demonel’s hand. For information, the golden sword in Raphael’s hand was a God-rank artifact. But the Sacred Demonel could instantly create weapons of the same rank as his.

After his attack was parried, Raphael quickly kept his distance from the Sacred Demonel because the black light chasing him was approaching again. Then he pointed his gun at that attack, and golden light gathered on the muzzle. The light compressed into a golden sphere that burned the space around him.

Holy Flame Gun

Bang!

The golden fireball scorched the surroundings and shot towards the black light. The two attacks collided right on top of a small hill.

Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!

The ground shook, accompanied by shockwaves and intense heat. The hill under the clash of the two attacks disappeared instantly and left only a large crater on the ground.

“Yes. No more mistakes. This is the power of an irregular. He really should be eliminated from this continent.” The Sacred Demonel narrowed his eyes and said coldly. He extended his right hand to Raphael.

Embodiment of Things

The previously destroyed hill reappeared above Raphael and fell at high speed. The Sacred Demonel intended to use the hill to hit him.

“Huh!?” Raphael looked up after feeling the sky turning dark. He was astonished to learn that a gigantic lump of earth fell on him at high speed and sliced through the air. Raphael pointed his gun at the hill and fired another attack.

Holy Flame Gun

The lump of dirt in the sky clashed with the golden fireball from Raphael’s attack.

Booooooooooooooooommmmmmmm!

The hills in the sky shattered and the shards fell scattered around like meteors. Raphael saw the Sacred Demonel just standing still and not showing any movement that he wanted to attack Raphael again.

But the sense of danger still hadn’t dissipated in his heart and was only getting bigger. He saw that dozens of hills of the same size had appeared in the sky. Raphael had no idea where the gigantic lump of earth had come from and suddenly appeared out of thin air.

“Damn!” Raphael gritted his teeth, aimed his gun at the hills in the sky, and shot them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Sacred Demonel continued to create hills in the sky and smashed them towards Raphael. His black and white pupils shone, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Inside the Monarch Palace, Ziel and the girls saw the fierce battle between Raphael and the Sacred Demonel. Ziel looked at them calmly while Kalya and the other girls were tensed after seeing the extraordinary abilities of a continent’s guardian.

“This is…” Clara was at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say in response.

“Amazing…” Kyouka muttered in admiration.

“This…looks a little scary.” Princess Iris said in a trembling voice.

“Is this the power of one of the guardians of the continent? Why do I feel like their abilities are unreasonable.” Kalya had seen the fight between Ziel and the nine-headed imperial dragon. She was surprised to see that the creature could control the nine elements freely. But the abilities of The Sacred Demonel looked even more terrifying than that dragon.

Lilith also felt the same way as Kalya. She thought she would not be surprised because she had already seen the power of the nine-headed imperial dragon. But right now, Lilith couldn’t help but be surprised to see everything disappear after coming into contact with the Sacred Demonel’s attack.

“Yes. Its power is truly terrifying. If what is written in the book is not wrong, her innate ability is to destroy everything, including space and create or reconstruct anything. Previously I still didn’t understand the meaning of that explanation, but after seeing it, the power is similar to the one I used.” Ziel explained the contents of the ancient book he had read.

The destructive power of the Sacred Demonel is similar to ‘Zetta’, Ziel’s black sword. While her reconstruction ability was similar to Ziel’s innate ability, ‘manifestation’.

Azalia was speechless after hearing Ziel’s explanation. This was the first time she had seen the abilities of a continent guardian with her eyes. Her pretty face sank after remembering Raphael brought the world altar fragment with him. If Ziel’s words were true, then that fragment would also disappear if Raphael died from a heavy blow until there was nothing left.

Anxiety filled Azalia’s heart at this moment. She didn’t want that fragment to break, but she hesitated when it came to helping Raphael. Apart from the fact that Azalia didn’t like Raphael, she felt that they would still lose even if they fought together against The Sacred Demonel.

(For some reason, I feel like I’ve seen that girl somewhere. But where?)

Azalia looked closely at the Sacred Demonel’s face because she felt familiar with her. But no matter how many times she tried to remember it, Azalia still couldn’t recognize her.

Azalia had met Oillet several times, even if only briefly. She should still be able to recognize her. But Oillet transformed assimilation into the Sacred Demonel, and her appearance changed slightly. Because of that, Azalia couldn’t remember her.

“Does that principal have no chance of winning against that creature?” Lilith looked at Ziel and asked.

Lilith secretly hoped that Raphael could defeat The Sacred Demonel or perhaps seriously injure her so that Ziel wouldn’t have to put up a hard fight with The Sacred Demonel later.

“As I said before, that principal will find it hard to win even if he uses a god-rank artifact. Even though he still hasn’t shown his true strength, the Sacred Demonel is the same as him. The true strength of that creature should be terrifying.” Ziel narrowed his eyes at The Sacred Demonel, who dropped hills on Raphael.

“So after he’s defeated, it’s our turn to fight her?” Azalia didn’t want to fight against such a creature if she had to choose, but that didn’t seem possible. Apart from the fact that the Sacred Demonel seemed unwilling to let go of them, she also had to make sure the world altar fragment in Raphael’s hand wasn’t destroyed. If that thing were to be destroyed, the divine race would lose hope and only await their death when the primordial gods found them on the Clorius continent.

“You are right. That’s why she put up a barrier in this place to prevent us from escaping. In other words, we and the rest of the people, including the guests attending the inauguration event, have been trapped here.” Ziel looked around the Monarch Palace. A transparent barrier was barely detectable if he didn’t examine it carefully.

“Eh? Is there a barrier here? Why didn’t I notice?” Azalia looked around the Monarch Palace and shot out balls of milky white light at random. Azalia’s attack disappeared as soon as it came into contact with the thin transparent membrane.

“What!?” Azalia was surprised that there was a barrier shrouding the Monarch Palace without her knowing. What’s more, the power of the barrier was extremely strong. The other girls also felt the same way about her. If it weren’t for Ziel who said it, they wouldn’t have known.

“So what should we do? What about the fate of the other people within the Monarch Palace?” Clara said worriedly.

“I don’t think she cares about those people. As long as they stay away from the fight, they will survive. But, some people must be trying to meddle with matters they shouldn’t touch.” Ziel saw from the cafeteria window that several people were trying to break the barrier. Those people were King Regulus, Prince Ozkar and the mages of the Beast Kingdom.

“They are…” Princess Iris immediately recognized those people. But just as she was about to continue her sentence, a golden light blinded her vision.

“That is…” Azalia saw Raphael enveloped by a thick golden light and another wing forming on his back. The number of wings increased to four and then to six.

“Six-winged angel, Seraphim.” Azalia muttered in shock after seeing Raphael’s transformation.
