Everyone in the place was staring at Flora and Creon with a look of "I don't understand".
　When Flora pulled the crystal sword out of Creon, Creon fell to the spot as if a thread had broken.

　Why did Flora commit such a vicious act?
　I wondered if she had given her sister Arte's instructions, but Arte also had a look of disbelief on her face as her large black eyes widened.

　Flora held up her crystal sword and said.

''Creon-senpai.......sold his soul to the demon race.

Did you sell your soul to the demons?

　When I asked back, Flora nodded.

''The resurrection of the Demon King who was an enemy of humanity and destroyed the ancient kingdom. That was Creon-senpai's goal.

　Flora's words were in the past tense.
　It would mean that Creon was already dead.

''He tried to use the power he obtained through the resurrection of the Demon King for himself.......and for the purpose of violating the church's prohibition. So........the only way to stop it was to do this. This is also the order of the Imperial Church.

　Flora said something surprising.

　I was curious how she was going to guarantee the legitimacy of killing Creon.
　But it seems that the authority of the church is behind Flora.

　Anyway, there's one thing I do know.

'Was it Flora who tried to kill Creon by causing the collapse of the ruins?

　Immediately after the winged tiger was defeated, the floor of the ruins broke loose and me and Creon fell together into the chasm of the ruins.
　At that time, Flora's figure was unnaturally nowhere to be seen.

''I was actually planning to ask Creon-senpai to leave at that time. But........I didn't expect to get Solon-senpai involved. I didn't intend to harm senior Solon senior... and besides, senior Solon was under the magical blessing of Her Imperial Highness, so the demonic poison couldn't take effect.

　As a result, with my help, Creon survived that time.
　It seems that Flora changed her plan and decided to carry out Creon's conspiracy to kill him at the end of the attack on the ruins.

　Killing Creon in front of a large number of people should be quite dangerous for Flora.
　In fact, the twin swordsman Karelia has had her lover killed, and is about to be cut down by Flora.

　It wasn't surprising that everyone in this place could become Flora's enemy.
　Still, it would mean that Flora had a chance to win.

''Come, Holy Spirit!

　Flora saw the crystal sword take a swing, and white, shining wings grew on its back.
　The crystal sword that belonged to Saint Saul.

　It seems that the secret of Saul's power lay in this sword.

　Flora now had the power of God and the Holy Spirit in her hands.
　In addition, Flora has the magic power obtained from the Demon King's descendants and, unlike Saul, the latest knowledge of magic.

　As if she thought she would be unable to deal with the situation if she didn't make a quick move, Karelia stepped in and unleashed her two treasure swords.

　However, Karelia's sword didn't reach her, even though Flora didn't move slightly.
　A short shockwave was released, and Karelia was blocked by it and flung away.

　Flora looked down at the crystal sword and smiled weakly.

''With such an overwhelming amount of power I won't have to be scared of anything anymore. Isn't that right, senior Solon?

Flora wouldn't have had to be frightened of anything if she hadn't used this method.

　I murmured, and Flora shook her head.

'Seniors might be able to stay strong without strength. But I'm not.'

　Then Flora raised her sword high.
　Beyond that, there was a golden giant - the Demon King Aka Manaf.

'But I will not revive the Demon King for the sake of power. Unlike the power of a saint, this is an evil power. It will eventually become uncontrollable and you will have to make great sacrifices to resurrect it.

　Flora then chanted her astrological magic for the third time.
　The saint's power seemed to have enabled her to achieve three consecutive astrological magic attacks.

　In the next moment, the Demon King was enveloped in a blue-white light.
　Its golden colossal body shimmered red with flames, burning fiercely and then burning out.

　The Demon King disappeared.

　The sacrifice needed to be made for the resurrection of the Demon King was Filia. As Flora said in the Great Library, she succeeded in the attack and then apparently fulfilled her promise to protect Filia.

''Why...?''

　Arte was stunned.
　Using the Demon King's power, he aimed to reach even greater heights as a magician.

　For Arte, who had the mindset that power was everything, it must have been a shock to have the Demon King burned in front of him.

　Besides, it was Flora, not Arte, who obtained the saint's mighty power.
　Flora smiled.

''It's okay. ........From now on, I'll protect your sister. There's no more Creon-senpai either.''

Who's not there?

　A low voice came from behind him.
　Flora turned around with a huff, but it was too late.

　A holy sword was brought out with a speed that was almost too fast to be a human skill, and it caught Flora's crystal sword.
　The crystal sword flicked off and fell from Flora's hand.

　Standing behind Flora was the Holy Knight Creon, who was standing behind Flora.
　Although he had a large scar on his chest, Creon didn't seem to have any trouble moving at all.

　If it was a normal human, it would have been a fatal wound no matter what you think.

　Nope.
　Creon might not be a normal human anymore.

　The holy sword had a black, murky aura, and Creon's skin had an intricate and eerie red pattern floating on it.
　Creon smiled with a spare smile.

''Do you think I wasn't aware of your betrayal?''

　Creon swung his holy sword at Flora.
