“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,
-Not long after the battle’s finale- Katalina emerged from a portal within the walls of the royal castle in Engelburg. Before arriving here, the demon that used to possess the Chancellor had claimed her body, embedding its core deep within her. The powerful miasma kept the young princess in check, allowing for the demon to
“You know, I’m going to start feeling envious if you two continue your loving gazes for much longer.” Cornelius’s statement jerked me out of the heart-to-heart I was having with Saki. “That’s not!-… whatever, I give up.” I started to object until I realized how tiresome it would be to argue, especially since it was

I stared blankly at the elven girl beside me, her emerald eyes locked onto mine as we examined each other. Something about her was different than normal. I could tell from how composed she was despite the fact that we were in the middle of a heated battle between the Chancellor and Saki. ‘What are
Having looked through her memories in order to know what to block, the Chancellor knew all about her final moments. Saki had been treated poorly in her previous world, and her powerlessness to save the one she loved only drove her into despair, perfect for triggering a demonification in the future.
