Chapter 17
“That is… My Liege, have you encountered trouble?”
Angus, the Garrison Commander standing at the outer gate of the Demon Lord’s Fortress, gazed at the massive black pillar rising in the distance.
“Commander, what is that?”
A woman with only a single pair of black wings asked. She wore only a thin feather outer garment, the feathers on her skirt fluttering in the breeze.
“Bloodline Power. The Liege has not used this move for over three hundred years. However, I do not believe there is any existence in the surrounding villages capable of threatening the Liege. That place is merely the Liege’s larder.”
“Forgive this subordinate’s bluntness, but could Lord Demon Lord have been recognized by the kingdom’s villagers and ambushed by the Holy Cross Church?”
“No, that should be impossible. The Liege has said that when feeding, she can force the victim’s memory to regress, ensuring there are no witnesses. At the same time, the Liege repairs the bite marks, leaving no trace. Even considering the worst-case scenario, that is a killing move only used when driven into a desperate situation.”
Angus shook his head in disbelief.
“Is the Commander not worried about Lord Demon Lord? Should we assemble the troops now…”
“Anvir, our duty is to guard the outer city. This is a strict order from My Liege. Unauthorized sorties are a capital offense. Besides…”
Angus interrupted Anvir’s suggestion.
“Someone has already gone to fulfill their duty. Those two are Lord Demon Lord’s direct guards. In terms of strength, even I am somewhat inferior to them.”
Angus looked toward the sky. Nia, with her dark elf wings spread, and Bard, glowing with white light, were flying toward the distant black pillar.
Black particles condensed into a Death God, swinging its blade toward the ground. Even from such a long distance, the Death God’s form still looked massive. This was definitely Divine Rank magic, no doubt about it. Angus knew that without a shield of equal or higher rank, this strike could not be blocked no matter what. Any living being hit would be instantly decomposed into dust by the black particles. If the user controlled it properly, it could even inflict greater damage on a single target.
“My Liege, who exactly are you fighting…”
Angus paced down from the city wall.
“Strengthen the guard for me. Don’t let even a worm in!”
“Yes! Commander.”
All the fallen angels responded in unison, splitting into several small groups to begin patrolling a wider area.
In the village, where a deep gash had been plowed into the ground, the bandits retreated in defeat, leaving behind quite a few captives and wounded. The injured militiamen were sent to an empty house temporarily used as a hospital.
“Mmph… mmm~”
Lips met. Chronos’s soft tongue extended into my mouth and stirred. The sweet taste made me feel intoxicated, and my small face involuntarily turned bright red. Chronos’s sudden sneak attack immersed me in the pleasure of kissing, making my whole body tingle and weak.
“Pwah… ha… ha…”
Pulling away with a string of saliva connecting us, Chronos’s face was also flushed. She gently put me down, looking at the little loli with doting eyes.
“Hehehe, what a good day is today?”
Chronos is really clingy with her sister; she’d even do something like this. I just don’t know why she turned into a scythe to protect her family.
“Big Sister, can you heal those injured villagers?”
Going with the flow, my original goal was to help those people who had treated me kindly.
“As long as it is Christine’s wish, Big Sister will make it come true for you, no matter what it is.”

Green light descended, enveloping the makeshift hospital.
This is omnipotent magic. It can destroy everything, and it can also revive everything.
She patted the dust off her dress.
“Oh my, time’s running out. If only there was a bit more blood. Sigh, remember to call me out to play often, my lovely little sister.”
Chronos put on a reluctant expression, gradually fading away and turning into specks of starlight.
Coming so suddenly, and leaving so suddenly…
“Thank you, Big Sister.”
Although she isn’t my real sister, but… addressing her like this shouldn’t be a problem, right?
