Eryn raced across the ruined city streets, scanning the area for the mana signature of her allies. Moments earlier, she had encountered the whizzing form of Ludmila, who zipped between the different parties to notify them of the current situation. Seemingly, the others had encountered demonized people as well. But those at the south gate
Elsewhere, Eryn and Saki were caught in their own battles. Having moved separately from Claude’s group, they led the charge into Engelburg from the eastern gate, where the buildings had already been demolished by destructive magic. Having surveyed the area with Hal, Cornelius determined that whatever was responsible for this act needed extensive firepower. The
Seeing the ‘me’ from my previous life, I scrambled to my feet in a space where an endless expanse of white surrounded me. The smell of things burning in the distance and the roaring sounds of battle were gone. The voice of a possessed princess that shook me to my core was no longer heard.
I looked up as a loud roar blanketed the sky. Out of a portal came a freaking dragon! A demonized one at that! That had to be the Mage Demon’s doing. As the demon dragon dropped to the ground with a deafening boom, we turned back to go engage it. With all of us here,
“Keep it together! You are the Magic Knights of Sistina! A demon or two isn’t going to get the best of you!” The loud order of the guild master echoed through the air as several knights were pushed back by a combination of Fire and Earth magic. A wave of earth tore through the surface,

After I trotted back to everyone, we accessed the aftermath of our battle. Though we had successfully defended the Faulkner domain from attack, things couldn’t be in a greater mess. Sistina had lost its king, as well as a large chunk of its army. The Chancellor was also dead, and the demon that possessed him
I wearily looked at the fallen form of Saki, who had just recovered from her demonizing state. Recalling that one’s mana could be used to drive the miasma from another like the Thunder Phoenix Clan’s cleansing ritual had suggested, I decided to punch her mana gates, hoping that it would produce some effect.

We watched in shock as King Oswald fell backwards from Saki’s fatal blow. Blood speckled the ground from the piercing attack that had stabbed through the king’s vital point. Katsys, who had just escaped from that area via portal, turned towards him and wailed, having seen the brother that protected her collapse with a clunk.
