The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Dekan answered affirmatively and jumped off the carriage first, slightly surprising Clay.

In fact, it didn't take Dekan long to figure out that Andrea, an officer of the Ninth Army of the Empire, was actually Anushka, the director of the hospital belonging to the Ninth Army of the Demon Realm in the Holy Kingdom of the Demon Realm.

In the modern world, the Kingdom Federation is more like the Holy Kingdom, while the Empire is more like the Demon Realm.

Delois subdued Abyss Pusel, a lackey in the Holy Kingdom of the Demon Realm. With Delois's help, Pusel later became the commander of the First Army Group. In the present world, the commander of the First Army Group of the Empire, the ninth-tier Abyss Mage Pritzker, should be an enhanced version of Pusel's reincarnation.

However, the historical context of the Holy Kingdom, the Demon Realm, and the present world, as well as the birth, race, and even destiny of each person, have changed. Many past and present relationships and story developments are only reflected in the dark, not completely corresponding.

For example, Milia, the Dark Saintess who was originally part of the Holy Kingdom's forces, was captured and taken to the Demon Realm, but eventually returned to the Holy Kingdom.

In the present world, Mia is an Imperial citizen who went to the Kingdom and the Church of Resurrection as an undercover agent, and eventually returned to the Empire, but it is hard to say where her heart truly lies.

Ironically, based on this kind of relationship in the present world, it is very likely that the Dark Saintess, who hates demons the most, will have a lot of dealings with the demons in the later timeline of the Holy Kingdom, and the relationship will be one that is neither friend nor foe, nor love nor hate.

As for Talomatti, who was once the commander of the Ninth Army, her soul was split in two. One part was attached to Dekan, and the other part was reincarnated as Tata. Thus, she seemed to become an outlier, and the position that she should have been the commander of the Ninth Army was replaced by Mier.

As for Anushka, who was originally a subordinate of Talomatti in the Ninth Army of the Demon Realm, his fate did not change much.

Anushka, who wasn't particularly evil as a demon to begin with, became even more upright and kind after being reborn as a human.

Moreover, Anushka was one of Taromati's few friends back then.

If you kill her, Talomatti will be heartbroken.

This is also one of the reasons why Dekan let Anushka go in the Demon Realm Hospital.

As for Andrea, although she is also an Imperial soldier, Dekan would choose to save her once, even just because of the kindness she showed to Dekan.

Clay then jumped off the carriage, hoisted Dekan onto his back, and, ignoring the astonished looks of the other Imperial soldiers, leaped into the air like a cannonball, creating a deep crater in the ground. He then soared through the air in the mountains and quickly disappeared from sight.

The other Imperial soldiers simply couldn't understand how this seemingly ordinary comrade had suddenly displayed monstrous physical abilities!

Even their strongest commander, Andrea, doesn't possess such terrifying power!

However, in the sky...

"I...Clay!!!"

Dekan's wails echoed in the air.

He felt like he was on a roller coaster, and it was at top speed right from the start!

At this moment, his only thought was to reminisce about Cornelia's gentle care when she carried him on the way and downstairs.

Soon, under Clay's violent carrying, the two disappeared from the Imperial Army's detection range and arrived at a mountain gorge.

Here, they can more clearly see and determine the situation in the center of the battlefield.

Looking from afar.

Andrea, who was fighting Kozmo, was already injured in a short time.

The Imperial Army, which should have had the upper hand, seemed to be suppressed by the Calamity.

Upon arriving in this area, Klay felt a slight weakening effect, while Dekan received an almost exaggerated strengthening, feeling as if he had been enhanced from the sixth rank to the seventh rank!

All of this was due to the enchanted magic that Kozmo used.

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Class: 8]

[Effect: After activating the barrier, it continuously consumes mana. Those within the barrier who share the same faith receive a full stat boost, while those whose faith contradicts the barrier receive a full stat weakening. The degree of impact is affected by the difference in spiritual and magical attributes between the two parties, and the greater the degree of faith or contradiction, the stronger the boost or weakening effect.]

[Note: Heretics, receive the judgment I will carry out on your behalf!]

The more the Imperial Army hated the Church of Calamity, the stronger the debuff they received, while the higher the faith level of the Calamity followers, the stronger the buff they received. This ebb and flow quickly widened the gap between them!

However, Klay, who clearly understood Dekan's strength, realized that even the buffs Kozmo himself received didn't seem to be as exaggerated as Dekan's!

Is there something wrong with the ingredients in your product?!

Just as Clay was about to express his doubts about the strange buff on Dekan, both he and Dekan's gazes were forcibly drawn in one direction.

The horde of calamities surged frantically toward an Imperial army defensive line, while the Imperial army could only do its utmost to protect the two people behind the line.

"Mier?!"

After recognizing one of the familiar figures, Dekan felt incredibly fortunate that the two of them had chosen to come!

Mier was sitting on the ground, exhausted, while she was still holding a slender figure with silver hair.

They seemed to disregard their already depleted magical power and tried their best to cast healing spells on her.

Clearly, this place was far beyond Clay's detection range.

If they hadn't chosen to rescue Andrea, they wouldn't have discovered Mia's presence.

As for the figure that Mir was holding, there was almost no doubt that she was the legendary Empress Icardinos!

After a brief exchange of glances, Dekan and Clay quickly determined their division of labor.

With his ability to launch a direct and forceful attack, Clay can more directly team up with Andrea to gang up on Kozmo.

Dekan, with his more agile skills, can act according to circumstances and is best suited to stay in the back row.

Moreover, if Dekan finds an opportunity, he can make an accurate judgment based on the situation, namely, whether he can secretly deliver a fatal blow to the Queen!

Keeping this empire's most powerful and ambitious empress alive will inevitably make her a major threat to the Kingdom Federation in the future.

Although there are also plans to negotiate with the Queen or use her to fight the Cult of Calamity.

But this is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin; compared to the potential gains, the risks are far too high, making it a poor choice.

Once Isabel, the slave of Dekan, is crowned as emperor and the cult of Calamity is eradicated, he will naturally be able to control the empire. The empress is not a necessity for him!

If you have the chance, you might as well take advantage of her illness and kill her!

Soon, Clay picked up Dekan again and landed behind the defensive line before the Imperial Army could even be on alert. He placed Dekan next to Mier, then leaped into the air again and rushed toward the direction where Andrea and Kozmo were fighting.

Only now did all the Imperial Army soldiers realize what had just happened!

That figure dressed as an Imperial Army sergeant was clearly exceptionally strong!

They were able to completely ignore them and easily cross the defense line!

Just as all the Imperial Army immediately regarded this half-dragon girl, who had been abandoned at the rear of the camp, as a major enemy.

"it's me."

Dekan shouted at Mier.

"!"

Mier looked at Dekan and quickly realized that this red-haired half-dragon girl was another new skin for Dekan.

"They're on our side! Don't attack!"

Mier quickly shouted to the surrounding Imperial soldiers.

Soon, even before the Imperial Army had a chance to figure out exactly what was going on, they put all their efforts back into the defensive line.

Although they were still under great pressure, the facts proved to them that the newcomers were indeed reinforcements.

Because another sergeant had already rushed in front of the High Priest of the Cult of Calamity, Kozmo, and started fighting with him!

Before Mier could greet Dekan again, he resumed treating the Queen.

The wounds inflicted by the power of the End of the Archbishop are not so easy to heal.

Even though Mier had been healing the Queen with eighth-order spells for quite some time, the Queen remained unconscious.

Just when everyone's attention had left Dekan.

He took two steps toward Mier, observing the Queen, seemingly ready to summon magic cards at any moment.

Mia seemed to sense Dekan's first reaction immediately. She hugged Icardinos tightly with all her might, looking at Dekan with pleading eyes and crying out:

"Don't hurt Icardinos! I'll grant you whatever you ask for her, I promise!!"

"..."

Seeing this, Dekan frowned.

He originally thought that Mier had been restricted by the Queen for so long, so their relationship must not be very good. He thought that Mier's reason for saving the Queen was more likely due to his stance or sense of gratitude.

However, it now appears that the Queen and Mieu were not simply in a superior-subordinate relationship.

Mier treated her like a close friend.

Dekan missed what should have been an excellent opportunity to finish off the enemy.

They had no choice but to trust Mieu and negotiate with the Queen.

Dekan withdrew his stance, reluctantly approaching Mier.

"Don't worry, I won't do that kind of thing again. Leave the rest to us."

Dekan chuckled at Mier, a simple smile born of the joy of seeing a long-lost friend.

"call......"

Mier breathed a sigh of relief.

Dekan and Clay seem to be easy to talk to. All that's left is to wait for Icardinos to wake up and then persuade her to cooperate with Dekan and Clay.

Although it would be difficult, Mier was confident she could persuade Icardinos.

As Dekan walked up to Mier, he finally saw clearly what the silver-haired empress Mier was holding looked like.

Her pitiful expression resembled that of a child having a nightmare, occasionally uttering faint mutterings in her sleep.

At this moment, her frail, sleeping appearance revealed a complete lack of imperial majesty, as if exposing her true nature of not liking killing, but rather someone deeply entangled in obsession, relentlessly pushing herself to become stronger.

In that instant, Dekan stopped in his tracks, standing there in a daze.

His lips parted slightly.

He seemed to want to say something, but couldn't bring himself to utter her former name.

Although her appearance has changed.

But Dekan would recognize her at a glance.
