Chapter 113: Chapter 113: The "Luminous Saint" Sister

The amount of Magical Essence consumed when transferring an individual was related to that individual’s strength.

Ashu transferred ten Demon soldiers of varying power consecutively, and from this he concluded that sending a Demon to the human world required consuming Magical Essence equal to five percent of the Demon’s own Magical Essence.

Now, in "Reaper’s Resolve" mode, Ashu’s power level was at mid-Grand Archmage. Even transferring those four patrol members from the inner circle was no problem, let alone ordinary Demon soldiers.

The only issue was the sheer number of Demons—he couldn’t transfer them all at once. And great Demon Shava’s strength was especially formidable; five percent of her Magical Essence was probably equivalent to eighty or ninety percent, if not a full hundred percent, of Ashu’s own.

In "Reaper’s Resolve" mode, Death power was exclusive; other skills were unusable.

For example, passive skills that restored Magical Essence, like the Nature’s Absorption Technique, couldn’t be used.

He could only rely on his power level in "Reaper’s Resolve" for basic recovery.

This recovery speed was obviously unsatisfactory.

After transferring 300 Demon soldiers, Ashu suddenly stopped. The smile on great Demon Shava’s face stiffened, and she immediately demanded, "What’s going on? Why did you stop?"

Ashu did not hide it; he replied plainly, "Transferring Demons uses a lot of Magical Essence. What do you think I am? Don’t I need rest?"

Upon hearing this,

great Demon Shava snorted through her ram-like nose, reached into her arms, and tossed out an object.

Ashu caught it single-handedly in midair and focused to see it was a black crystal stone. But this wasn’t an ordinary black crystal—holding it, he could feel the abundant Magical Essence within.

"Use my rations. Hurry up and transfer them. I’m tired of waiting!" Shava said.

Ashu crushed the black crystal in one grip, and immediately the dense Magical Essence almost solidified, wrapping around him.

Absorbing the Magical Essence, he resumed transferring.

Still pretending it wasn’t enough, he tricked great Demon Shava into giving him three more black crystals.

"Last one, Shava."

"Get moving, no dawdling."

"I’ll try... no, you need to release half of your Magical Essence, or you’re too big for me to transfer," Ashu lied. He could feel that if he were at full power, he could transfer Shava, but if she entered "Rose Valley" town in full strength, the situation would immediately spiral out of control. "You great Demons have strict restrictions, and the resistance from the human world is even stronger. Hurry up, release half your Magical Essence, or you’ll have to release even more later."

"Sigh!"

Great Demon Shava gritted her teeth. Now that all her Demon troops had been sent over and only she remained, she urgently released half of her Magical Essence. "Hurry!"

"Here we go! Get ready!"

Ashu confirmed through Reaper’s Eye that she had indeed released it, then activated the transfer and brought Shava into the human world.

...

At this moment.

In the human world.

"Rose Valley" town.

A continuous stream of Demons poured out from the basement of an abandoned small courtyard.

The branch led by Silco Tully was utterly useless in combat. They only knew debauchery and had no real combat strength reserves.

The town’s defense was mainly in the hands of Town Mayor Seras Tully.

But today was the day Town Mayor was preparing to assassinate Ashu, and all his forces were being used to set up a trap to capture Ashu.

Thus, the streets were filled with panic and screams.

"M-mayor, Mayor Seras!" A scout ran into the secret training ground in a panic, tripping over his own feet in the process. Ignoring the pain, he hurriedly said, "Sir! It’s bad! A lot of Demons have appeared in town!"

The Town Mayor, who was leading troops to rehearse how to trap Ashu, immediately changed his expression and frowned, saying, "What nonsense about Demons? Do I look like a Demon to you?"

"Sir! They really are Demons! Traditional Demons! Lots and lots of them, pouring out from underground like ants moving! The town is in complete chaos!" The scout was almost crying in desperation.

Seeing this, Town Mayor Seras Tully finally realized that his scout wasn’t scared out of his mind, but that something truly incomprehensible was happening in town.

In this world, even Heretical Path Mages who could summon two or three Demons at once were called heretics and villains.

Who had ever seen a whole town suddenly flooded with Demons all over the streets?

"What are you standing there for?" Seras suddenly exploded in anger. He was deeply frustrated at the timing—Bow King was already in position, the moment was near, and they were just about to kill Ashu and claim the heir’s reward. Yet, at this exact moment, Demons invaded the town. He roared at the soldiers in training, "Kill every single one of those damn Demons!"

Receiving the clear order, the soldiers grabbed the weapons originally meant to trap Ashu and charged out of the secret training ground, heading toward the streets of "Rose Valley" town.

Seras Tully watched their backs with a gloomy and irritable gaze.

He was already suffering from illness, which affected his mood badly, and now the "heavens were not cooperating" with a Demon invasion at such a critical time.

So,

he grabbed his training whip and quickly strode toward the Church.

Inside the Church, some had already come seeking refuge. Branch Bishop Silco Tully was awkwardly receiving them.

The moment Seras saw him, he lashed out with the whip.

"You damned useless fool!"

In Seras’s eyes, the Demon invasion was entirely his mad younger brother’s fault.

If his crazy brother hadn’t killed the previous branch Bishop, he wouldn’t have had to struggle so hard to create this chaotic situation.

If they hadn’t lost the protection of the Divine Mother Goddess, would the Demons dare invade this town so boldly?

Silco was hit dumbfounded. He had no idea why his brother was beating him—he only felt the fiery pain on his body.

"Oh, my Divine Mother Goddess, it hurts so much! Brother, you’re out of line! This is the Church! How can you whip the Bishop of the Divine Mother Goddess?"

Hearing this madman’s words, Seras grew even angrier, his fury boiling over. Without hesitation, he raised his whip and lashed Silco repeatedly.

Silco was just a mortal; he quickly fell to the ground, begging for mercy. "Brother, please stop, please stop! It hurts so much! I am the Bishop of the Divine Mother Goddess—what will happen if you injure me?"

Looking at the battered Silco, Seras gritted his teeth. After all, they were blood relatives. No matter how angry he was, he couldn’t bring himself to kill him.

If it weren’t for this madman, he wouldn’t have turned the Divine Statue in the Church into an ordinary woman’s sculpture. If they hadn’t lost the Divine Mother Goddess’s protection, the town wouldn’t have been so ruthlessly invaded by Demons. And if the Demons hadn’t invaded so fiercely, his plan would have gone smoothly.

He was still waiting for a chance to save himself—only by completing the mission could he gain the Crown Prince’s support.

"Hmph, you say you are the Bishop of the Divine Mother Goddess? Fine, then go out onto the streets and drive away those Demons. Let me see what you can do!" Seras said angrily.

Silco shakily got to his feet, and, surprisingly, actually walked toward the Church’s exit.

Just then, two soldiers escorted a dozen or so civilians rushing to the Church for refuge.

Seeing Seras Tully present, they hurried forward to report, "Town Mayor, the friends of the ’luminous saint’ are resisting the Demons on the main street. Many civilians have been saved."

Hearing this, Seras took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

He had planned to assassinate the ’luminous saint’ to cure his illness, but now, at the town’s moment of crisis, the ’luminous saint’ was the first to stand up and defend it.

"W-w-w, Town Mayor, what is really going on? Didn’t we all have the protection of the Divine Mother Goddess? How can the Demons still attack us?"

"Town Mayor, thanks to the ’luminous saint,’ I survived. Once this is over, I will definitely ask the ’luminous saint’ to teach me!"

"I was saved by the ’luminous saint’ too."

"Me too, me too! The ’luminous saint’ sister is amazing!"

Sister? The ’luminous saint’ sister?

Seras frowned. Since when had that ’luminous saint’ become a sister?

He quickly asked, "What characteristics does this ’luminous saint’ you speak of have?"

"Holding a cool scythe," someone said.

"Controlling lots of branches!" another replied.

"Powerful magic!"

Seras sighed. These were obviously the ’luminous saint’s’ followers. Perhaps they were in such a desperate situation they hadn’t had time to explain properly and had simply claimed a convincing title.

But no matter what, this time, the ’luminous saint’ had earned a lot of popularity. If anyone wanted to kill her later, they would have to work twice as hard.

Damn it!

All of this was because of Silco!

Seras clenched his teeth and ordered the soldiers, "Go find the ’luminous saint,’ Your Excellency. Ask her to descend Divine Radiance and help ’Rose Valley’ town drive away the Demons. Consider this a request on behalf of all the townsfolk."

"Yes, sir!"

The two soldiers were about to turn and go find Ashu.

Suddenly,

A surge of magical energy shot straight into the sky. That gloomy, evil aura exploded like a bomb inside Rose Valley town!

In an instant, everyone felt as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on their hearts. Those with weaker wills collapsed straight to the ground!

"What the hell is this..." Seras’s eyes trembled as he stared at a spot not far away. He remembered—it was an abandoned little courtyard.

The oppressive aura of evil was coming from that very place.

"What level of Demon could this possibly be..."

At that moment, even Town Mayor Seras felt despair. Before this, he still had the courage to fight against the Demons appearing in the town with his troops. But now, all he wanted was to run away.
