"Mm, that's good." Lorenz nodded his head in satisfaction, but then, he noticed a weird red dot showing on one side of the Forest of Beast, "What's that?"

===

"PRIESTESS!"

"s.h.i.+t, what the h.e.l.l is this!?" While the other daemons were calling out to her, Lilith cursed as she carried the burden on her shoulders.

As the blinding light enveloped the Forest of Beast, the daemons were in a state of worry as Lilith held off the light of pure mana. A dome like shape formed as Lilith dispersed the d.a.m.n thing.

[Ogres: 15% (Dead and rising)]

[Praeries: 30% (Dead and rising)]

[Harpies: 50% (Dead)]…

'd.a.m.n it, d.a.m.n it, d.a.m.n it, d.a.m.n it, d.a.m.n it, d.a.m.n it!'

Lilith could hear the Alpha's voice announcing the death of the daemons that outside the village. The daemons who hunting for food and those foraging were all caught up in this ma.s.sive dangerous mana downpour.

The concentrated mana was close to being a laser and the only reason why she can live while tanking everything was that she was fighting it with her mana control and mana manipulation, dispersing the attack to the side.

If the mana downpour had any form elemental energy present in it then Lilith would be f.u.c.ked. Thankfully, there wasn't but, something else was her problem. Her mana is being drained; 1% percent of her mana is being drained as she held onto the force of the downpour.

At that very moment, when her life was on the verge of getting taken, Lilith's mind runs every possible way she can live. There is no use praying, Letza cannot make a move, she will destroy the world if she was to descend and Lilith will die if that is to happen.

So, she must think of a way to think about how to survive this predicament where she is cornered like a rat. Though Lilith gave up and just met death head-on, right now, she was trying to change her fate.

'How can I escape with the others? My skills are not useable, I won't be able to take myself, much less anyone out of this place. Think, Lilith, Think."

While she was thinking, ten seconds had already pa.s.sed. Blood trickled down from her nose, she was overexerting her mana manipulation at this point.

Her skin is beginning to crack; her veins and muscles were screaming and blood spurted out as from her body.

[-2000 HP]

Her blood slowly trickled down and those who felt Lilith's blood touching their faces had their expressions turned dark.

"Priestess!"

"Boss!"

"Boss Head!"

Lilith can now hear their cries, they were calling for her, worried for what may happen. They ignored the fact that if Lilith was to fail, they too will die. This caused Lilith to laugh at the idiots.

'Hehe, what stupid daemons.'

However, as she laughed, Lilith bought every Low-leveled potion that can rejuvenate mana as much as she could.

"Hehe, this thing is trying to kill me and my forces? I'm not going to die here!"

Lilith bought something from the Store. A scroll appeared before her and then using her mouth ripped it apart by chewing it.

[High-Tier Teleportation Scroll…failed to activate]

"What!? Alpha, what the h.e.l.l is going on here…AHHHH!"

Lilith's face crumpled as she felt the Mana Downpour getting heavier. The density of the downpour was now stronger than before. The mana it was eating up was now 5% per second.

While Lilith downed a Mana Restoration Potion, she listened to Alpha speak.

[The mana output in this place is being messed by this downpour, the s.p.a.ce is being s.h.i.+fted this amount of mana is enough to open a rift in the world! Wait for thirty seconds, I can't do anything better than that! Why!? You don't think you can live through this? I thought you're not going to die?]

"Hahaha! Don't worry, this flashlight is not going to kill me. Just make sure to teleport everyone I'm protecting."

[Sure will!]

Boom!

As Lilith and Alpha finished their conversation, the downpour became even stronger. It was as if the light is slowly being concentrated to her direction. And as the 5% per second turn 10% per second, Lilith used her remaining SP to buy MP potions.

Every now and then, Lilith would down a potion and replenish her MP so that she'll be able to support her mana usage.

As for HP potions, she also bought some and placed them all in her inventory. She does not know for how long this thing will last, but she was prepared to outlast it.

4s

It won't go on forever, she was sure that it will eventually stop. The tiny back of a child fought the weapons of humans. The two independent sides of her brain that were meant to control an element each were doing their job and that is dispersing the mana outwards.

7s

She was doing the same with her HP, once her health reaches a certain threshold, she'll drink a potion and have her HP back on track. However, that doesn't mean Lilith feels the sharp pain or stacking fatigue.

It was raining blood; her body was collapsing and her fatigue had already reached 76%.

15s

She was becoming weaker and weaker, but that didn't matter for her body has the system. She only needs to lower the fatigue with some spells and she'll be all good.

Lilith was already drenched in her own blood; her kimono was already in tatters as she was beginning to gradually weaken.

21s

Her fatigue can no longer go down 67%. She had overworked her body far too much.

And it just kept skyrocketing and the situation only worsens from then on. It got to a point where Lilith could no longer risk casting a spell to lessen her fatigue or else her mana will be overused.

Soon, enough, she was pushed back by the downpour. Her bloodshot eyes reflected the pain she was in.

Every orifice on her head began to bleed, she was nearing her limit and as for her fatigue, it had already reached 153%.

"AAHHHH!"

The only thing keeping her awake and sane was the pain! She was holding onto the pain and letting it keep her mind awake. The system should have shut her mind down because what she was doing was beyond insane, but fought her desire to lose consciousness by letting the pain course through her body.

29s…30s

As the timer hits 30, Lilith's smile became broad. Her body cracked and the rain of blood continued to flow. And she raised her hand, she smiled as she whispered.

"Times up! I win, humans!"

Her bloodied figure and the rest of the daemons in the village disappeared from sight.

Sssssssss.h.!.+ Boom!

And without anyone resisting, the entirety of the Forest of Beast was wiped from the face of the earth. The humans celebrated its destruction, as they managed to avenge their people.

But somewhere, in the ocean, there was a gathering of daemons. They encircled a bloodied body of a child that is bordering death.

And with their zeal, all of them felt the need to take revenge.

The war against the world has yet to start, but without the humans knowing, an Empire that resents and hates them had survived and they will thrive so that one day, these daemons will rise and take revenge to the ones who hurt their Empress.
