The spiritual monsters kept appearing. There were far more of them than in the previous area!
"I'm doing my best to control them, but this is all I can do," Kazuko told him.
Right from the start, the spiritual monsters all rushed towards Rhode who was hiding in a corner. After Lana appeared, more and more spiritual monsters appeared as well.
All the monsters were approaching Seiji and Seiji! Seiji didn't know why, but he felt that something terrible would happen if the monsters touched the boy and girl. That was why he wanted to protect them.
Seiji did his best to use his spiritual sword to kill a large number of monsters in a large area. Tomohisa continuously used [Thunderboom] to support him. The two of them worked together to efficiently clear out the monsters, but there were still some that slipped through.
Little Shi acted as the final line of defense and dealt with the spiritual monsters that they couldn't stop. She used an [Ice Wall] to protect Rhode and Lana … even though she couldn't see them at all.
Gradually, the number of spiritual monsters decreased, but their individual strength increased.
[Evolved Body-strengthening Technique], [Fire]!
Seiji activated the [Evolved Body-strengthening Technique]'s special attack mode, which greatly increased his attack power at the cost of increasing his Mana consumption!
The golden mist that covered his entire body suddenly transformed into flames. His hair seemed to start burning, and he seemed to transform into a golden torch.
He lifted his long spiritual sword with both hands and slashed …
Tomohisa only saw golden flashes and white flashes. Then, the gigantic spiritual monsters shattered and turned into mist! There was nothing else to say apart from how cool he was.
After clearing out the gigantic monster horde, the boss monsters appeared next … five black lion monsters with green spots on their bodies!!
"I really did my best." Kazuko sighed.
Seiji had already expected this, so he decisively used the ultimate technique that he had prepared beforehand.
He strengthened the first ability of his Mika card, [Power of Transcendence], and strengthened it with the power of the Yellow Springs …
Ultimate technique, [Demon Suppression Bell]!
* Dong!!! *
With a deafening sound, a gigantic golden bell appeared that covered almost the entire area, instantly suppressing all five lion monsters!!
Tomohisa felt like he was about to be blinded by the light.
The monsters roared inside the bell. It was easy to imagine that they were fiercely resisting.
Seiji grit his teeth and continued using his Mana to maintain the power of his spell. His Mana was being rapidly consumed.
When the spell ended, the three lion monsters turned into mist.
"Brother, let me handle the rest." Little Shi rushed up from the back and took over the two remaining lion monsters.
"I'll leave it to you." Seiji, who had expended a lot of energy, simply retreated and took over as the fullback.
After absorbing a large amount of mist, Tomohisa felt like he was on cloud nine. Not only could he create lightning balls faster, but his attack power had also become stronger. He could even freeze a lion monster.
With his help, Little Shi had no problem dealing with the two monsters.
Seeing this, Seiji had the spare time to pay attention to Rhode and Lana's condition.
He saw a faint black-green mist rising from the figures of the two people sitting next to each other.
The mist around Rhode's body was thicker, while Lana's was thinner … it was evident that something was wrong with both of their bodies.
He could vaguely see that their faces seemed to be calmly waiting for death.
Seiji recalled the headless spearman from before and roughly understood what had happened.
Both Rod and Lana were infected with the same thing that the spearman had!
They were unable to cure themselves, so they could only quietly wait for death.
Seiji couldn't bear to see this scene of despair.
Would it be effective to cast a Cleansing spell on them?
He decided to give it a try.
Just as he was about to cast a spell, he saw Lana look up at him.
She opened her mouth to say something, but he couldn't hear her.
"I hope that the two of you can survive," Seiji muttered to himself.
Although he wasn't even sure if it was an illusion or reality, although they might be separated by an entire world, and even if he fought so hard to protect them, it might all be for naught in the end …
But hope was always hope.
He cast an Evolved Cleansing spell on the two of them.
A golden mystical spell formation was imprinted on the boy and girl's bodies … but it didn't seem to have any effect.
'I can't help them …' Seiji felt depressed.
'No … I shouldn't give up like this. I should try again!'
Mika's card ability, [Power of Transcendence], could only be used twice per day. He had just used [Demon Suppression Bell] once, so he decided to use the other time here.
Seiji activated his ability again and cast another Evolved Cleansing spell!
An even larger golden spell formation imprinted on Lloyd and Lana's bodies. It flashed with a blinding light, and there were also wisps of flames flowing within it, giving it an incredibly mystical feeling.
The next second, a thick dark-green mist emerged from their bodies, which was dispelled by the golden flames!
The spell was effective!!
Seiji was overjoyed.
Lloyd and Lana seemed to be quite astonished as they watched the black mist disappear.
Then, their bodies became even more hazy.
"Thank goodness I was able to help … I wish you all the best." Seiji smiled.
The boy and girl both looked at him, and then they both disappeared.
…
The green poison had actually been dispelled!
There was no longer any pain within their bodies, and their bodies were no longer burning up. Their consciousness was restored, and the poison runes had all disappeared … this was basically a miracle!
This miracle was brought about by the "ghost".
Lloyd didn't see it, but Lana did.
The "ghost" cast a golden spell that dispelled the poison within their bodies!
Lloyd only saw the ghost for a single instant.
That unfamiliar, handsome face had a gentle smile on it, as if he was saying something.
Although he didn't hear it, it was easy to guess that it was a blessing from his friendly expression.
Lana was right; he definitely wasn't a ghost! He was some sort of noble existence.
Could he be … a God? An apostle of the Holy White Goddess?
No matter what he was, that wasn't important right now.
What was important was Lana's smile.
Lana was crying, but she was also smiling brilliantly.
Lloyd felt like he had a similar expression as well.
The green poison had been dispelled.
'We can still live!'
Although they were still in the forbidden zone, and the situation wasn't optimistic, since they received such a miracle, they should work hard to the end and not waste the blessing of their benefactor!
Whether it was a human or a God, saving their lives … this was a noble existence who gave them hope at their most desperate moment. Lloyd remembered this in his heart.
He and Lana hugged each other again. This time, they were both crying, but their emotions were completely different.
"We need to live well."
"Yeah …"
The boy and girl who had been given hope were about to take another step forward.
…
After Little Shi killed off the two lion monsters, Seiji felt his body heating up as a warm sensation surged within him.
This was the feeling of increasing his power, similar to last time.
Little Shi and Tomohisa both received power increases as well. That was the end of the Domain quest.
"It was rather strange this time … but I didn't know my own abilities to begin with. This can be considered as me gaining a better understanding." Kazuko adjusted her eyeglasses.
"Thanks for your hard work," Seiji told her.
Then, he looked towards Tomohisa.
"Tomohisa, you need to continue paying attention to your own condition. If you feel like anything's wrong, immediately tell me."
"I know."
It seemed like there were no problems for now. If there were still no problems after a while, Seiji would bring the others to continue the quest.
