Chapter 60 – Lord Selim meets the enemy
When I got out of the carriage, I saw Marc Sarmiento standing there.
“…the trigger was me being chosen as the Crown Princess’ fiancé, huh.”
Marc was the third son of Marquis Sarmiento, and had almost no chance of succeeding to the title of Marquis, so he wanted to become the son-in-law of the Crown Princess.
But that was taken away by me, someone he hates for a long time.
With the amount of mana I have now, it would have been impossible to deal with Marc and the dozen people around him.
However, Marc’s mana was too much for a human. I didn’t even need to use <Divine Vision>.
Marc must have fallen to the same mental state as I was in my previous life and was taken advantage of by the devil.
“To say goodbye, I thought I’d take a look at your face. I will have Lord Selim go to the Holy Kingdom. Healers should belong to the church after all.”
Marc spoke to me in the same tone as before he completed Demonic Transformation. In my previous life, I immediately went on a rampage after I turned into a demon, but if I didn’t use darkness mana, I would have been able to disguise myself as human.
Perhaps such devils had been lurking in the church for a long time.
“Even if you confine me to the church, it doesn’t mean I will use my healing ability according to your wishes.”
“It should be fine. You will be educated properly.”
“Educated? Do you mean brainwashing using dark magic?”
“Brainwashing with magic doesn’t last very long. The essence of the darkness attribute is stagnation and inactivity. A part of your memory will be inactivated and you will be instilled with the doctrine of the church. By doing so, you will become a splendid believer.”
“Yes, do you think that will work?”
“Lord Selim is strong. That is something I must admit. Therefore, it would be detrimental for us if you struggle after recovering your mana. So before that, I must crush the inconvenient consciousness that you have.”
Darkness mana was released from Marc’s hand and clings to me.
However, it soon disappeared with <Purification>.
“It’s very considerate that everyone here has darkness attribute. <Holy Chain Barrier>!”
Marc and a dozen people around him were restrained with <Holy Chain Barrier>.
“GUWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”
If I had fought Marc, who had become a demon, normally, I wouldn’t have been able to win even with all my might.
The holy attribute has an absolute effect against devils. Especially <Holy Chain Barrier> because it does not use a lot of MP. I can maintain it all the time by replenishing my mana with <Forest Bathing>.
“…so easily…?
The surprised Katia had wounds that were painful to look at and she was out of breath and looks like she was in pain.
“But it’s the limit to restrain them. I don’t have enough mana.”
“In that case, we must end them before your mana is drained.”
“…no, I can continue just maintaining the barrier. Katia, how far is Leo from here?”
Katia sensed the surroundings with her Detection Spell.
“…it seems that he would arrive here very quickly.”
“In that case, let’s wait for him.”
I can maintain the <Holy Chain Barrier> with my current MP, but I didn’t have enough mana to use <Purification> on the demons. Katia is also in a tattered state, meaning that a careless offense is dangerous. It’s better to wait for Leo.
