Chapter 450: A Certain Saint’s Miscalculation (side: Lilixira)
“Saint-sama, Saint-sama, wake up…!”
Lilixira recovers consciousness to the sound of her holy knight subordinate, Alphiss. She finds herself sitting against the wall of a room that has lost its roof.
She notices that a pool of blood is spreading out from her. Her hand searches around, before her fingers close tightly around her [Holy Country’s Staff of Authority]. Then, she remembers what happened.
A monster called “ruin” suddenly burst through the floor. The ruin shot her with its magic attack, and she responded with her [Mirror Counter]. However, her magic mirror was easily shattered. By remembering that much, Lilixira is able to understand the gist of what happened.
By the glimpse she saw of the iridescent monster’s status, she was able to learn that it had the name “ruin”, and that it was most likely the result of the Demon Lord evolving while bypassing the normal means.
“You’re awake, Saint-sama! I’ve already applied [Rest], but… Your left leg and arm…”
Hearing Alphiss’s words, Lilixira glances at her body. Her left leg is crooked and bent, and her left arm is completely missing from the shoulder down.
“…Your leg was crushed by debris after you fell in the hole. Your arm was, umm… It was directly hit by that iridescent monster’s magic and seems to have disintegrated.”
“It looks like I'll need to return to the Holy Country and visit the regeneration specialist. This was why I asked him to come along.”
