After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

After the monster army left, the royal palace fell into silence.

The war outside was endless, and even from a distance, Leia could smell the stench of burning corpses.

As it turned out, Leia's gamble paid off. Perhaps because of their past good relationship, or perhaps because Leia was also holding her cubs, the mother bear did not attack the intruder.

Standing up and sniffing the baby's scent, the mother bear turned and landed, slowly walking towards her den in the center of the garden.

Tense and tense, Leia breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely behind, keeping a safe distance from the mother bear.

If Leia knew that this mother bear, before she grew up, had also experienced her mother being killed by humans in the Northern Territory...

Now that we are temporarily safe, there is still one problem: how to trick the mother bear into giving us milk.

Leia had heard stories of wolf children being raised by wolves, but stories are just stories. To those domesticated animals, the four races were just another kind of arrogant deity.

Animals are either admired and played with, or kept as pets or mounts, but more often than not, they are treated as food by humans.

Without any weapons, Leia naturally dared not confront the mother bear head-on. To restrain the mother bear and allow her to nurse her baby, all she could do was try to deepen the trust between them in the gentlest way possible.

This is such a ridiculous idea that even Leia feels she's being a bit foolish.

What else can we do?

Whether it is a natural limitation of living beings or the goddess's intention to set it up this way, humans can only get nutrition from breast milk during infancy.

Following the mother bear to the den, a round little bear peeked out from the burrow, curiously eyeing Leia, the outsider.

Maintaining a distance of more than twenty meters, Leia sat down against a tree. As soon as she relaxed, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

She was surprised by her own uncooperative eyes, yet her reason was overwhelmed by countless painful emotions.

Holding her child tightly, Leia gritted her teeth to keep herself from crying out loud.

What will become of those abandoned by the Creator? Are they destined to be livestock in a pen?

The helplessness she felt at that moment was like a gaze peering down from the abyss. Leia's limbs went weak, as if the ground beneath her feet had become empty, waiting for her to fall in an instant.

Exhausted from crying, Leia fell into a deep sleep. Not long after she fell asleep, the mother bear sniffed her scent again, picked up the baby in her mouth, and carried the bouncy little bear back to the cave.

On the ruins of the palace, now reduced to ashes, Diana slowly raised her hand, pointing south.

At this moment, the human self-rescue army has stabilized its defensive line. The powerful team, with the Adventurers' Guild at its core, has spared no effort in demonstrating the strength of humanity.

In this world, including the undead, nothing can last forever.

Heartbroken by the immense sacrifices made by his adventurers, Claude set about preparing a reliable counterattack plan.

Led by top adventurers, with outstanding academy students and armies at its core, and joined by powerful mercenaries and holy knights from the Holy See, a team of nearly a hundred people was formed to launch a campaign to subdue the cursed princess in the royal palace.

Regardless of whether they could defeat the cursed avatar, they would do their utmost to shut down the magic circle and give the survivors of the royal city a way out.

As long as the message can be spread, strong individuals from all over the world will come to continue humanity's hope.

But before the counterattack could begin, the protective shield abruptly disappeared before their eyes.

Seventeen magic stones floated around Diana, and layer upon layer of magic circles continued to expand. Her target was not the desperate self-rescue army, but the hundreds of thousands of undead gathered in the southern territory.

The magical light shot into the sky, and the magnificent magical storm was like a miracle. Whether it was an illusion or not, everyone seemed to hear endless roars in the void.

As expected, the human self-defense army began to disintegrate after the light shield was removed. However, before they could even feel frustrated, Claude and the others who remained were so frightened by the magical light pillar that they froze in place.

What kind of formidable enemy were they facing?

Diana, her eyes white as she opened her palms, spoke softly, her voice as ethereal as a holy spirit, resounding throughout the entire royal city.

"In my name, by the covenant, I command you to deliver your judgment!"

When the beams of light painted the sky and adorned the clouds with dazzling brilliance, no one knew what would happen next.

But they could keenly sense that from this day forward, a new chapter in human history would begin.

The adventurer gasped for breath, his wide eyes filled with fear. After forcing an awkward smile, he asked Claude in a trembling voice, "Guild Master, should we still launch the attack?"

A young man dressed as a professor stepped forward with a determined look in his eyes and said, "Perhaps this is an opportunity."

"Who are you?"

Because of that man's words, Claude had to look at him with more respect.

"Felix, a teacher at World Tree Academy," Felix explained calmly as he stood before the crowd.

"President, and everyone else, we may all be terrified by this magic, but have you ever considered just how much magical power it would take to unleash such might?"

After a brief moment of thought, Claude grasped the key point and quickly encouraged him, "Go on."

"Thank you, President." Felix nodded in thanks, pointed to the royal palace, and stated his opinion in a firm and resounding manner.

"The curse is not invincible, but we easily lose the courage to fight! The princess could have taken advantage of the light barrier to wipe us all out, but she waited for several hours and only released the magic after the light barrier was removed."

"What does this mean? It means she has to wait for her magic to recover and will need the power of the Philosopher's Stone to complete the spell!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is precisely when she is at her weakest! If we hesitate and, like them, crowd the city gates and disperse, we will only be able to eke out a living, waiting for one massacre after another!"

"Although I may not have much fighting power, I, and my students, are willing to follow the guild master and fight to the death against the incarnation of the curse!"

Felix's words were deafening, and they also made those who were considering giving up lower their heads in shame.

If a teacher has such insight and courage, how could they possibly desert their posts?

Standing at the back of the crowd, Lucas covered his face, feeling like his head was about to explode.

Previously, encouraged by his teacher, he joined in fighting undead soldiers, which was fine, since he had good combat talent and his rapid growth had made him a highly regarded member of the monster squad at World Tree Academy.

But why drag your students to fight the cursed incarnation? Your students don't want to go!

Is this an enemy that students can handle?

The most important thing we should do right now is to escape immediately and seek help from Mr. Medivh or the president of the Wizarding Guild.

Only those who possess great magic are qualified to fight against the embodiment of the curse.

Lucas, his face ashen, lowered his hand. Looking at the gradually hardening expressions on everyone's faces, he felt it was a shame his teacher wasn't a public speaker…

The surrounding gaze suddenly stopped, and Lucas saw the miraculous girl again in the crowd.

She seemed unaffected by the outside world, looking up at the sky without joy or sorrow, then turning her eyes to meet Lucas's gaze.
