Reborn as a Mind-Reading Empress

"Seeing how it was able to block you at first, it means I have to send higher ranked magicians and fighters in case there were attacks from the likes of them," the Pope sighed deeply since the temple was apparently occupied since monsters had been having a lot of activity lately. Ferdinand and his knights and magicians taking care of some of the monsters that roamed near Medeus and in its outskirts helped ease the burden on the temple.

{Alwin, I heard the attackers speaking and one of them said the humanoid monster was among his latest creations. Does that mean magicians could create monsters of various appearances as they please?} Arabella inquired for her to understand the conversation.

{No. What those people do were summoning the monsters by using spells. They do not create monsters themselves. They merely summon them. But they can also summon them by using mana and allowing them to be ’born’ from it. That is akin to creating them. However, those who specialize in it can make alterations to the monster that were summoned by fiddling with the summoning spell and mana used to ’create’ them to give them various buffs and defenses. And now, they seem to have succeeded in altering one to make it have humanoid features for it to wield a weapon. It’s something that’s not done so easily. Its ’creator’ is rather powerful and probably had a lot of experience in dealing with monsters.}

"It’s unlikely that attacks would come from that kind of monster randomly it was a hybrid ’created’ by those who staged the attack earlier," Ferdinand assured the Pope.

"I’m not sure if I should be happy or even more worried. Those involved with dark magic had summoned a lot of monsters before but making it humanoid in form and even making it wield a weapon is rather troublesome," the Pope’s shoulder slumped.

He seemed to be very exhausted. Perhaps the perks of living for too long. It meant he had been working for the Temple for so long as well.

And the humanoid monsters were indeed worrisome. Since it was from Fynnia, Arabella couldn’t help but worry that they might be planning to use it in the war against Eliora they were planning to have.

"In every generation, there are always those who meddle with everything they could. You are unlucky to have encountered one," her husband replied.

"Generation? Several generations have passed but this was the only time they made a humanoid one and so strong at that," the Pope countered.

"Ah, I mean civilization. My apologies. I have watched human civilization come and go that I think as one as a generation," Ferdinand replied, and the Pope froze and sighed.
