The exaggerated black worm-like tide, before flowing downwards, transformed into clusters of black light and began to dissipate.
Yami Sukehiro and Charlotte passed through the passage and appeared there. Looking at the black light fluttering throughout the space, they murmured to each other, "What's going on?"
"I didn't sense any clash of magic above, so why did that disgusting guy's scent disappear? Did he escape?"
"I don't know," Charlotte replied.
Yami stopped, took the cigarette from his mouth, and exhaled a satisfying puff of smoke. He hadn't had this leisure while fighting and rushing. His gaze swept over the clusters of light, like fireflies, and stopped on a sword-wielding figure.
The highly condensed magic made Yami feel quite troublesome. "Hey, Charlotte, that glittering figure is your leader, isn't it?"
"I told you I'm not the Charlotte you know. My name is Charlotte now."
"But you're right, that guy is indeed our clan leader." Charlotte nodded, her beautiful eyes lingering on Licht. 'Could that disgusting guy have been eliminated by Licht? Looking at his dazed expression, he doesn't seem to have recovered his memories yet.'
Yami's brows furrowed slightly. 'This is bad. Just Charlotte alone is already difficult to deal with, and there's a leader with an exaggerated amount of magic... Phew, a two-on-one fight would be extremely tough.'
'By the way, where did Big Sis and those guys from my Aqua Deer Squad go?'
Just as the three fell into an eerie silence, a light shone in from outside. Its astonishing speed startled Yami and Charlotte. 'Light magic? Who is it?'
'Vangeance? No, the scent doesn't match. It's emanating a warm and powerful aura... Who is it?'
The First Magic Emperor Lumiel and Nero, who had arrived as reinforcements, landed on the ground. Sensing the disappearance of the demon's aura, they looked around in surprise. 'Where's the demon?'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After eliminating the demon, Bai En exited the Shadow Palace using the 'coordinates' of his Cursed Technique. Since his objective was complete, he shouldn't linger there.
He looked at his hand. "The combined magic of Cursed Technique and Mikuriya is much more powerful than expected, and the magic consumption is also intense. Of course, these aren't the main points. The main point is that my magic can cause actual damage to demons, and that's enough."
"Now I have more confidence in facing Lucius Zogratis, the host of the time demon."
The red sun on the horizon slowly emerged like a whale, and the day-long war in the Clover Kingdom was about to end with the slow rise of the red sun.
The light magic he sensed just before leaving was undoubtedly the First Magic Emperor Lumiel. With his arrival, the truth about the demon incarnation instigating the ministers to persuade the Royal Family to eliminate the elves five hundred years ago, and Lumiel's efforts to save them, would all come to light.
He was no longer needed there.
"Then, let's do something while the war hasn't ended."
Bai En turned and looked down at the Royal Capital. A sharp voice caught his attention. The two guys in the broken house were the King and Sekke!
"You did so well!"
"You protected me splendidly!" King A. Kira Globa XIII vigorously shook the shoulders of the person in front of him—Sekke Blancharda, a member of the Green Praying Mantis Squad.
"For a commoner to achieve so much, is this what Julius meant about commoners having potential? The Green Praying Mantis is full of commoners, and the captain is super reckless. I used to dislike it a lot, but anyway, you did great!"
Sekke Blancharda wiped the sweat from his face and looked at the King in front of him with a slightly dazed expression. 'Ah, what's wrong with this guy? I just accidentally stumbled in... But being valued by the King like this seems pretty good.'
'Maybe I can even change my status in the squad.'
Sekke stood up straight. "Don't worry, King, these are just a piece of cake for me. From now on, I will protect your safety, King!"
"Is that so, haha... What a reliable man!"
As the two conversed, a group of people in white magic robes found them. "Finally found you, King of the Clover Kingdom, King A. Kira Globa XIII!"
"Although there's a Magic Knight Squad member next to him, he's just a low-ranking commoner, no problem. Prepare to die!"
"Who are you?" King A. Kira Globa XIII looked at the newcomers in panic.
"You don't need to know!"
With that, several people instantly attacked. Fiery battle-axes, silver spears... all simultaneously stabbed towards the King and Sekke.
"Ahhh~ Although I don't know what's going on, I'm counting on you, Sekke~~"
"Although I really want to help, my magic was all used up just now!"
Looking at the two comical figures below, Bai En threw out a small sword. Terrifying gravity instantly pressed down, and the several people attacking the King were instantly crushed to the ground, unable to move.
King A. Kira Globa XIII and Sekke looked at the person who had acted. "Is that guy from the Aqua Deer Squad?!"
"Isn't that the guy who protected me before? To act at such a critical moment, it must be my radiance shining upon him. After this incident is over, I must reward him handsomely!"
"From now on, you'll be my confidant!" King A. Kira Globa XIII looked at Bai En excitedly.
Bai En ignored the people below and instead looked up at the guy who had appeared on the opposite rooftop. That guy's magic power was quite good, and his figure holding a scale immediately told Bai En his identity—Damnatio Kira.
A member of the Royal Family 'Kira' family, the chairman of the Magic Parliament, who uses Scale Magic.
At this moment, he looked at Bai En, who had saved the King, and then at the black light emanating from the scale in his hand, muttering, "This reaction, you've finally appeared, you damned demon host. In the name of the Royal Family, in the name of justice, I will surely condemn him."
"Are you Damnatio, the chairman of the Magic Parliament?" Bai En asked the newcomer.
"Even Magic Knights must show reverence when facing the Royal Family," Damnatio said with a cold face. "However, in consideration of you saving the King just now, I can overlook this for now. If there's a next time, I will punish you."
"Tsk tsk... How impressive, Lord Royalty," Bai En said flippantly. "I wonder what Lord Royalty meant when he mentioned a demon host just now?"
"Naturally, a monster that uses demonic power."
"If I'm not mistaken, the demon host that Lord Royalty is condemning is my companion."
Kira raised his scale, and killing intent gleamed in his eyes. "Being a companion to such a person, you too should be condemned. You are united in evil. Kneel!"
A glowing white magic condensed on the golden scale pan, and a strange field enveloped Bai En.
Bai En's grimoire opened, and an iron sword flew out, instantly dissipating the strange field. "Hey, hey, hey, Lord Royalty, I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you in such a hurry to attack?"
"Although my companion uses demonic power, he has never done anything bad. On the contrary, he has made great contributions to the Clover Kingdom. Do you still want to condemn him for that?"
'My magic... ineffective?'
Damnatio frowned and replied, "The very existence of a demon is evil and deserves to be condemned, no matter what he has done."
"Then, according to you, if the Wizard King were a demon host, he should also be judged by you?"
