Chapter 57 – The Witch’s Past and the Hero
“I hate it!!!”
Line, who was in Serin’s arms, tried to escape by pushing away Serin, who had become her demon lord, but there was no way Line, who was a male priest, could push Serin away.
Her line tried to push away, but Serin held her tightly, preventing her from escaping.
“Why? Are you trying to get away? “Didn’t you love me?”
“I loved Serin, the hero, but she didn’t love the Demon King.”
Rhine, who spoke in her heartbreaking yet sad voice, was still struggling to escape from Serin’s arms.
Serine, who had already felt her despair when she lost her line, was feeling despair once again.
Having paid the price to bring her back to life, she felt sorry for herself and her squishy obsession with wanting to have her line all mixed together and began to take control of her own body.
“Ji, what are you doing now?”
“Now I’ll do whatever I want.”
The area where the hole had been made was repaired, but the clothes were not repaired, so her bare skin was exposed through the hole.
Serin, who was already out of her senses, must have started to become distracted by his bare skin, so she put her hand inside and forcibly started groping his body.
“Let go!!! It’s not like this!”
“Shut up.”
“Yes? How could you…”
“Shut up, you ungrateful bastard… “I saved your life, so you treat me like this?”
Serin, the hero who protects and respects others, is already dead.
Now it was just the demon king Serin who had been eaten by the monster of love and obsession.
Serin’s eyes had already rolled back, and she began to tear off Rhine’s clothes that were in her arms with her bare hands.
Even though Line tried to use his divine power or mana to somehow push Serin away, perhaps to protect his chastity, he could not use either his divine power or mana because he had just returned from death, and he just cried out beneath him. 〉
“Let’s destroy it.”
“What is that?”
“Save the line by breaking it somehow. “Isn’t he so pitiful?”
“But we also have mana…”
We wanted to use up everything we had to destroy this barrier, but because of the battle with the Demon King, we had used up all our strength and could do nothing.
If only I had a way to somehow replenish my mana…
“Ah… Ah!”
“Did something come to mind?”
Yes, that method will definitely work.
I quickly stood up, pulled out the small jewel attached to the tip of my wand with my fingers, and lifted it up.
“What method is this?”
“You eat it.”
“What?!”
Of course, you wouldn’t know what my intention was because I suddenly said that I was going to eat the jewel hanging from my staff.
But it is possible according to the theory I came up with.
Of course, I don’t know if my body will hold up, but I never thought that I would get out of here with a healthy body.
If it weren’t for Line, I might have died while traveling.
So now it was my turn to repay the favor I received from him.
“Do you know what this gem is?”
“Of course it’s manatite, isn’t it? But what are you going to do by eating that?”
“Originally, manatite is created by condensing pure mana little by little in the ground, right? So, the essence of this manatite is nature’s pure mana, and if I eat it, I might be able to recover my mana.”
“Then do you think your body can withstand that amount of concentrated mana?”
It could not be said to be 100% safe.
However, it is the wizards of the Magic Tower who move forward without giving up, and in order to rise to a higher level, a person must experience such dangerous events to grow.
“Crack! Crack!”
Before she could answer Lina, she put the manatite in her mouth and chewed it.
As soon as I chewed it in my mouth, the manadite turned into powder and quickly began to melt into pure mana,
The mana that had been condensed for hundreds of years suddenly flowed into my body and began to fight for dominance little by little with my mana inside my body.
If I lose this fight, my body will probably collapse, so I have to hold on.
I am Adelia, a genius wizard!!
As I suppressed the mana running wild inside my body with my mana and began to absorb it little by little, the world began to look different.
It was as if you could see particles flying around, and if you look closely at those particles, they were all natural energy called mana and ether.
Have I reached a new level?
“Are you okay?”
“Reena… I think I succeeded.”
Her body, which had been difficult to control as if her mana had run out, and she was exhausted, suddenly became full of vitality,
Even full of mana… No, it felt like my body itself was made of mana itself, absorbing the surrounding mana.
Even the arrogant barrier that seemed impossible to break through until a while ago was now showing a flow of black mana, and particularly weak and condensed areas were visible.
As I drew my hand, flowing my mana like a thread, the hole in the barrier opened and broke through.
However, even though I gained these abilities, I felt like there wasn’t much time left.
Perhaps because of the new sensations and the side effects of forcing myself to reach a new level, I felt like I was going to pass out at any moment,
Because her eyes kept closing, she had to quickly save the line and run away.
“Moon Light”
The ice, infused with the energy of the moon, flew towards Serin, who was losing her mind as she attacked the line.
But just before my magic reached me, the holy sword… No, Yuni, who was now contaminated, flew over and hit the ice on her, warning Serin to come to her senses.
[Ugh… Quickly kill the author.]
“Don’t disturb Adelia, this is your last chance. Leave the line now and go back.”
“My pride cannot allow me to abandon her companions and live alone.”
With these words, we began the fierce battle again, spewing mana at each other.
Just today, I’ve already faced the devil twice.
No matter how much he reached a new level or refilled his mana, it was not enough to fight against Serin, who had the power of the devil.
At first, they attacked with great force, but the power of the holy sword combined with the black mana, the black mana of the demon king,
And the black flames burning like crazy had a negative effect on me and I felt like I was going to lose my mind.
Even during the fight, I occasionally looked at the Rhine and was shedding tears and repeatedly apologizing.
“Give up now.”
“I can’t abandon my colleagues…”
Whisk!
An arrow flew from behind and aimed at Serin between the eyes, but before it could reach it, it burned brightly in the air and disappeared into ashes.
“As expected, it doesn’t work.”
“It’s the last chance for both of you. Get out quickly, I want to have fun with Line quickly.”
It seemed like I would succumb to the overwhelming difference in power.
Instinctively, the fear I feel from an opponent who is stronger than me and the fear that I might die creep in, making me want to give up.
Nevertheless, he attacked with the sole purpose of saving his comrade, but it was too late, and his legs were shaking, and he was unable to move forward.
“Okay, if you’re nervous, give up.”
Just as my body reached its limits and I felt like I was going to collapse, a strange event suddenly occurred.
As if Rhein’s efforts to sit down and pray continuously were not in vain, light came down from the sky and took on the shape of a human being.
She used to be blonde-haired and kind, but now she’s just a goddess with an expressionless face.
I have seen it.
Because she looks exactly like Frey, the goddess of the church to which Rhine belongs.
“A hero becomes a demon lord…”
“Goddess?”
“Serin, I trusted you…”
She was looking at Serin with her pitiful yet sympathetic eyes.
Frey, with her truly sad face, did not scold Serin or gossip about her becoming the new Demon Lord.
She just looks on sadly, as if it was her own fault.
“I just wanted to save the line.”
“Look at the result of that greed. Uni has been polluted, and the line you said you loved is afraid of you.”
It wasn’t a lie.
Yuni, the pure white holy sword, seemed to have become corrupted and dark and had lost her personality,
Because Rhine and I were actually afraid of Serins.
“I’m so sad that I can’t be involved in the human world. “If only I could have defeated the devil.”
“Shut up! I’m satisfied with this, so can I just go back now? All I need is a line.”
“I will do what I can.”
As she finished saying those words, light began to seep into the bodies of everyone except Serin, and she was trying to move them to another place.
They were probably planning to evacuate us. We closed our eyes and took in the light and were relieved that we were now safe, but it was too early to let down our guard.
“Line!!!”
With all her might, she pierced her goddess’s light and pulled her line, forcing her to lie down on the floor.
Frey also looked embarrassed, as if he hadn’t expected her to take her line through her own light, but she had already gone too far to cancel.
“No!!!! Ha, don’t do it.”
“For me, as long as I have a line, it’s enough… “I’ll make you happy.”
Before she moved to her light, what she saw was the image of Line crying, with her clothes removed, underneath Serin.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in the brightest place in the center of the church, and in front of us was Frey shedding tears.
“S-sorry. “I let my guard down.”
We didn’t say anything, just knelt down and prayed to someone.
I hope the line is safe…
The Goddess succeeded in separating the darkness from Yuni by carving light into the fallen Yuni, but she changed slightly from her past Yuni, and along with the rumor that a new Demon King had appeared, there was news that the Demon King’s child had been born.

“This is a story from the past. I tried to rescue it again, but it seemed to have already stored up my mana, so it would sense when I got even a little closer.”
“So, what happened to the person named Line?”
“I don’t know either… What I know is that she eventually became the devil’s husband and died while living.”
After hearing the stories of our unhappy and gloomy past, we said nothing and seemed to be weighed down by a heavy atmosphere.
It started as a love story between a priest and a warrior, but ended in tragedy.
And the fact that Uni of the past was corrupted and created anew.
“Still, I’m glad to see you, and it reminds me of the old days. And the porter there.”
“Yes… Yes?!”
“You look a lot like Line.”
“Lol… “Is this a compliment?”
Karen was very embarrassed and surprised, but she quickly came back to her senses and quickly answered.
Adelia, who was looking at us, didn’t seem to like this atmosphere either. She blew in the smoke and stood up from her seat.
“I will train you who are still weak.”
“Training?”
“I will personally teach magic to the wizard girl there, and teach the warrior some of the techniques used by the previous warriors. I will teach the rest according to their individual curriculum, so learn them well.”
Normally, I would say it was good training, but now I thought that I had to become stronger.
But why is Karen’s face so dark?
