Chapter 109 The Divine Protection of the Black Gods

Lily who was hidden inside the deep forest sneered at the Pegasus Knights for not choosing to pursue her.

nfufu, even though you people had the chance to kill me right now.

Of course, even if the knights had decided to pursue her, she would not have just gotten herself killed easily.

It was only a matter of probability. The Pegasus Knights had no chance of winning while they were in the air, but if they had pursued her now, they might have had at least a chance to win.

Those guys guessed correctly that the effect of magic had run out, but, their choice on how to deal with it ended up being a mistake.

The Pegasus Knights had already looked away from where Lily had gone and had concentrated completely on the battle below.

Considering that the enemys only airborne fighter had run away, that decision wasnt exactly wrong either.

But,

How foolish. Do they think that I wont return back to the frontlines? Or could it be that they simply dont even want to consider that possibility?

According to Lilys words, it was as if the girls simply wanted to believe that the effect of magic on Lily had ended.

And, Lilys telepathy proved that it was actually half-correct as well.

To the girl Lily, it was easy to read opponents outer thoughts, who had not specifically casted Mind Protect, even during battle.

Lily clearly understood what the girls were thinking and how they reached their current conclusion.

They thought that either my magic or the divine protection had run out, but, it seems they never even considered that I have and could actually use both of them.

The reason why Lily had used the flashy distraction to run away inside the forest was because the 30 min effect of the [Queen Beryl] had run out of time.

Since the [Queen Beryl] was not an artefact built specifically for the fairies only, her affinity with it was only normal.

Thats why, there was a limit of 30mins. Any further than that would place immense burden on Lily.

fufu, let me show you the divine protection of the Fairy Queen-

But the [Divine Protection of the Fairy Queen] was different. It was a power for fairies made by the fairies. There was no burden on the body when using it. After all, she was only returning to her usual actual body only.

[Life Drain]

Lily began her chant and at the same time brought out a scroll from her light-type spatial magic and spread it as she threw it in the air.

It was the most effective and high priced scroll in the village made only from the skin of a rank 4 monster. On it, the magic circle drawn by Lily was that of [Life Drain].

The scroll that activated on being infused with magical energy became particles of light and drew a magic circle with Lily as the centre.

And the effect of the magic displayed itself as the life force of every single living thing in the surrounding began to be absorbed forcefully.

Now then, surrender your pitiful lives to me.

The absorption of life force, with Lily as the centre, attacked every living thing inside the forest like a giant tornado.

The green plants withered, the insects crawling on the ground stopped moving, birds in the air fell down.

By the time the herbivore animals in the surrounding realized what was occurring and tried to run away, their bodies had already stopped moving and lost their lives.

It was the same for the carnivorous hunting animals as well. The males became vigilant but soon fell down, and the females tried to protect their babies or eggs but lost their strength while embracing them.

Naturally, the children left also had no way to resist it either. The new born lives quickly lost the heat of their bodies. Even the small lives that had not even born and were still inside the eggs were absorbed as well.

It absorbed indiscriminately all and every life in the surroundings. That was the magic known as [Life Drain].

un, this should help me last 20 mins at least.

But for Lily, it was nothing more than a necessary step for preparation.

It was a necessary price to be paid, an offering, a sacrifice, to obtain the divine protection.

O my pure, lovely and beautiful Queen-

The origin of magical energy was the world itself. But the origin of the divine protection was the Gods. Then it needed to be drawn not from this world but from the world of Gods.

And it was the soul that was connected to the World where the Gods were enthroned.

All the magical energy within the 100m area around Lily had been offered to the Gods through the [Gate] inside Lilys soul.

And as Lilys body was filled with the divine protection, she shouted.

With gratitude and respect in her voice, she shouted the name of the God that granted her the divine protection.

[Fairy Queen Iris]

Lily who had once again attained her true form with the help of the Divine protection, flew towards the skies once again leaving behind only a pure white withered forest of death.

Till now, Kurono had never seen Divine Protection.

Strictly speaking, all of Kuronos powers were the [Divine Protection of the Black Gods], and, all of Sariels powers were the [Divine Protection of the White God].

But these two were unique cases. Kurono who had received it through experiments and Apostle who receive it suddenly one day o
