The Saint

In July, the capital city was dry and hot. Grandmaster Celia returned to the Continental Magic Association. The Kingdom's Magic Special Forces and the Assassination Mechanics Intelligence Department reported an important message: things had been unusually calm among the demons recently.

After reviewing the intelligence, Li Yan frowned and began to think about the boss-level character after the Demon King's death in the plot. Suddenly, a graceful figure appeared in Li Yan's mind.

The Saintess of the Demons, nicknamed "The End Saint," is Greater Demons who uses curses, which can cover an entire planet in just a few hundred years.

Tod had no interest in the Demon King Lord or the survival of the Demons. All she cared about was whether she could continue her research into magic and whether she would go hungry tomorrow. She was said to be bad at fighting and didn't want to die. She just wanted to live in Nameless until the day her curse covered the entire world.

Now that we are very close to the hundred-year mark, it's time to remove this troublesome thorn in our side. The recent restraint of the Demons may be related to Tod, the End Saint the Demons.

"Give the order to have the Hero of the South and Himmel go to the Demons Realm to find Tod, the Demons End Saint, and suppress any evil forces attempting to plunge the world into apocalypse."

Li Yan gave a command to the air without expression. The next second, several Eighth-Generation Golden Spiders, having deactivated their invisibility, fell from the ceiling, their golden spider legs crawling out of the Castle.

"The Demons 'End Saint, is she very powerful?"

Fern was somewhat curious. Were the Saintess among the Demons really that beautiful? So beautiful that even the Demons felt the title of Saintess was worthy of them?

Solitär, heard the name of the End Saint and pushed open the door to enter with great interest.

"That girl is beautiful, but not in the way you humans think of beauty; it's her Mana, her power."

"Hey~ Is this how you Demons judge beauty?"

Frieren put down her Magic Tome while munching on a pastry. After hearing what Solitär said, she began to understand. Demons turn into Mana particles after they die, so naturally, their aesthetic standards are based on Mana and magical power.

"Demons are Demons, and I am me. To me, young master is the most beautiful person in the world."

Solitär and pointed out the inappropriate parts of Frieren's words.

Huh? Oh.

Li Yan looked surprised. He found Solitär's words rather strange. After all, calling her handsome was one thing, but calling her beautiful was another.

In short, Li Yan would just take it as Solitär whispering sweet nothings to him; it was better than nothing.

"Beautiful Mana, beautiful spells... does Tod, the End Saint of the Demons, possess any special magic?"

Fern asked curiously, explaining that, as far as she knew, each Demons only researched the magic they were best at, and generally only used the magic from their area of expertise.

"It seems to be a curse type."

Solitär put her hand to her mouth, pondering for a long time. She rarely saw the Demons Saintess Tod make a move; she was usually either researching magic or eating.

"It's rare to see her take action; usually, it's her subordinates and the Demons God of War Rivale who do the work."

Solitär's words made Li Yan, who had sent Solitär as an undercover agent, tap her on the head in dissatisfaction.

"I sent you undercover, but you're going on vacation instead!"

After being tapped on the head by Li Yan, Solitär sat down next to Li Yan in pain. The young master's loving taps were a source of happiness for her.

"Ugh, if we study them any further, they'll get noticed. They're all terrifying monsters."

Solitär defended herself quietly.

Li Yan knew that the Greater Demons among the Demons were all abnormal magical geniuses, and Solitär's explanation was particularly true. After all, it was already a remarkable achievement to remain undetected while infiltrating an environment full of monsters.

It's important to know that just the Seven Sages of Destruction of Memory Magic, Grausam, and the Foresee the Future Schlacht are enough to give ordinary people a hard time. There's also the Demon King, a bug-level opponent. Recalling the battle with the Demon King, Li Yan licked his lips with a touch of nostalgia. If it weren't for the Holy Sword, the Demon King's defeat wouldn't have been so smooth.

But the Holy Sword did not exist to kill the Demon King; its true purpose was to save the destroyed world.

"Are you guys talking about something interesting? Meow~"

Dressed in a cat costume, Lady Aura lazily entered Li Yan's room like a pampered Noble cat. To her, everything here belonged to her— the Castle, the maids, and even Li Yan herself.

"Tsk tsk tsk, come here, Aura, I almost forgot about you, kid."

Li Yan waved. As an old native of the demon race who had lived in the Demons territory for more than 500 years, Aura should know a lot about the Demons race. Of course, there was also that guy Macht. However, recently Macht had been going to the Fortress City of Weise. I wonder what interesting thing he had found. It was as if he was going to see someone he liked.

"Meow~ What's up, meow? I'm very busy, you know. I have to participate in the sleeping contest later, and I'm a candidate for the championship, meow."

Aura lazily walked over, skillfully lay down on Li Yan's lap, and rubbed against Li Yan's leg like a cat.

Touching Aura's fluffy pink hair, Li Yan felt much more at ease. Her fingertips brushed against Aura's large horns, and then, as if Li Yan, she touched Solitär's small horns. Both the large and small ones were quite nice to touch.

"Aura, do you know about Tod, the End Saint of the Demons?"

Li Yan asked patiently.

Saintess?

Aura's laziness suddenly vanished, and his expression gradually became somewhat strange.

"Li Yan, why are you suddenly asking about her? Logically speaking, she doesn't harm humans much, nor does she show her face in public. For a kind person like you, who considers anyone who doesn't kill Demons a good Demons, she shouldn't be someone you'd kill."

Aura bit her lower lip as she spoke. She knew the Demons Saintess Tod and had witnessed the magic of the Demons End Saint Tod, which was powerful enough to destroy the world. This was why many Demons named her Saintess.

"She doesn't actually kill many people, but it seems like her future self is destined to destroy the world."

Li Yan chuckled and gave Aura a tap on the head. As a cat pet, he actually said that Awula was kind. In his time, kindness wasn't a good word anymore; it would easily be labeled as a sanctimonious hypocrite.

"Destroy the world?"

Not only Frieren, but even Fern stared wide-eyed at the sight. Aura and Solitär, on the other hand, remained composed, showing little interest in the phrase "destroy the world."

"Really? It seems that Saintess Tod really has figured out that magic."

Aura seemed a little happy.

Watching the cat Traitor rejoice at the magic the Demons Saintess Tod had developed, Li Yan gently patted Aura's head, her face scrutinizing him.

Sensing Li Yan's gaze, Aura guiltily suppressed her smile and innocently shook her non-existent Cat Tail.

"Therefore, the Demons Saintess Tod must die! I will not let any of those who attempt to destroy the world go unpunished."

Li Yan stared expressionlessly at the location of the Demons territory. If the other side wanted to destroy the world, it would be tantamount to indiscriminate killing, and even an Immortality old man like himself would be affected.
