I don't want to be an elf!

But elves are not golden fairies after all.

Although the spiritual power just now was only a very small part of what Yatogami Tohka possessed, Nephren clearly saw this sparring match as a serious battle.

However, she had no intention of explaining.

"This is nothing to me, don't underestimate me!"

The purple light shone again on Nephren in mid-air.

As if spiritual energy were free, with each swing of Yatogami Tohka, the spiritual energy, transformed by the transformation of the Fiend King, became purple sword energy, carrying immense power as it flew towards Nephren.

Faced with the oncoming sword energy, Nephren flapped her fairy wings behind her and quickly created some distance.

The impact of their battle was so great that it even attracted two other golden fairies who were sparring nearby.

Chtholly, along with Aesya, the last of the three adult Gold Fairies who remained at the Fourth Fairy Warehouse, temporarily stopped their sparring and flew towards Nephren.

"Is Lian being held a grudge by the newcomer?" Aiseya couldn't help but ask. "The way she's unleashing her magic is like she's fighting a mortal enemy. It's giving me goosebumps."

"That's too dangerous! Why use such exaggerated skills in a mere sparring match?" Chtholly said. "This fighting style is too brutal."

"Oh? Are you all coming at me too?"

Seeing the three Golden Fairies gathered together, Yatogami Tohka seemed to regard them as wanting to team up and spar with her, and her expression became slightly serious.

She soared into the air, reaching the same height as the three of them.

Before the three could explain anything, the Duke of Aosha's purple light shone again.

This time, however, it was brighter than ever before.

Both the golden fairies and William, who was watching from the sidelines, were secretly alarmed by the power fluctuations emanating from the battle.

The terrifying spiritual power, under the transformation of the Killing Lord, became even more violent sword energy, compressed, compressed, and compressed again.

"Since there are three of you against one of me, I'll have to get a little serious!"

Raising her angel sword, radiating an aura of majesty, Yatogami Tohka shouted, "Take this!"

"stop----!"

Just as the immense spiritual power was about to be unleashed upon the three of them, William suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Just as Yatogami Tohka was about to swing her greatsword and unleash a sword beam, she stopped abruptly a second before the sword beam was about to be launched, at the sound of "Stop."

She looked distressed, trying her best to suppress her restless energy.

But the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string.

Once spiritual power has been out of control, it is not so easy to regain it.

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

Yatogami Tohka changed direction, aiming her attack at a location far away from the mansion.

The uncontrolled spiritual energy was released instantly.

"Rumble————!"

A beam of intense, almost black purple light shot out from the tip of Ao Sha Gong's sword, hurtling straight into the distance.

On this floating island, an innocent mountain was caught in the crossfire, and the sword light swiftly ripped a large hole in the center of the mountain.

"call......"

Yatogami Tohka, who had just unleashed her spiritual energy, wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and looked at William with some dissatisfaction: "Why did you make me stop? It's very difficult to regain control of the spiritual energy that has already been released!"

“If you unleash that attack, even if Chtholly and the others can block it, the mansion will still be affected!” William rolled his eyes. “Can’t you be a little more attentive when you’re sparring? At least take a look around!”

"what......"

Yatogami Tohka then remembered that they had been training around the mansion.

Knowing she was in the wrong, she guiltily put away the weapon.

"Sorry, I got a little too excited."

Chapter Eleven: The Golden Fairies' Doubts

Seeing that the attack had not been delivered to them, the three golden fairies breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, even from that distance, they could feel the power contained in that strike.

Compared to facing the Golden Fairy, they felt more like they were facing some unknown ferocious beast, a sense of intimidation even stronger than that of the Sixth Beast.

Looking at the huge hole pierced through the distant mountain peak, everyone present couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their eyes.

"Now I understand why Tohka is in the late stages of personality disorder," Chtholly said, rubbing her forehead in exasperation. "With such unrestrained use of magic, it's no wonder her personality is being eroded!"

"It's just a small competition, there's no need to go all out," Athena said stiffly. "Are you tired of living?"

"Full power? Not really," Tohka Yatogami replied. "I only used about 50% of my strength in that last attack. Although I knew it was just a friendly spar, there were three of you, so I was a little more serious."

"Sparring is about practicing skills and sword techniques. What kind of sparring is it to just randomly bombard others with magic?!" Asya said, exasperated. "Newbie! Don't be ridiculous!"

"fine?"

Nephren flew over, her face still expressionless, but her eyes revealed a hint of worry: "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"No," Tohka Yatogami said bluntly. "What I did just now wasn't even a warm-up for me."

"How could that be? Even if I were the wielder of the strongest holy sword, I would need to open the Fairy Corridor to unleash that attack," Chtholly said, half-believing. "If you feel unwell anywhere, don't force yourself. Be sure to tell us."

"It's really okay."

The three golden fairies circled around Yatogami Tohka again.

Seeing that she was indeed alright and had no problems with her energy and spirit, he reluctantly accepted the reality.

But soon, their attention shifted elsewhere.

"Wait, where are your fairy wings?" Chtholly's eyes widened slightly. "I can't see your fairy wings."

What are Fairy Wings?

"Huh? What else could it be but the wings on our backs?" Asya said matter-of-factly. "Without fairy wings, how exactly are you flying now?!"

"No, I don't think I have anything like fairy wings, which would allow me to fly whenever I want."

“I’m not very familiar with the Golden Fairy, but is it possible that Yato-gami’s fairy wings are invisible?” William asked.

“I just touched it, there’s nothing there,” Nephren replied.

“That’s really strange…” William also fell into deep thought.

The scene before my eyes defied common sense even more than conjuring armor and a sword out of thin air and piercing through a mountain peak with a single blow.

Conjuring armor and a sword can at least be explained by spatial magic, but the strike that pierced through the mountain peak could also be done by the Golden Fairy after opening the Fairy Corridor.

However, the fact that it could fly in the air without fairy wings was something that no one could explain.

"Newcomer, are you really the Golden Fairy?"

The outspoken Athena voiced the question that was on everyone's mind.

The most prominent features of the Golden Fairies, besides their ability to wield holy swords that are typically used by humans, are their fairy wings, which grant them exceptional agility and mobility in battle.

That was their innate magical talent, which allowed them to create beautiful butterfly-like wings on their backs through magic, as flexible as external magical organs.

Under everyone's curious gazes, Yatogami Tohka scratched her head: "Because the giant lizard said I'm a Golden Fairy, then I must be a Golden Fairy, right?"

"Grey Rock Skin? He should know quite a bit about Golden Fairies, right? Why would he mistake you for a Golden Fairy when you don't have Fairy Wings?"

"It's not that it's hard to understand. Apart from not having fairy wings, all of Tohka's characteristics fit the description of a golden fairy."

"But for a first-class military officer to classify her as a Golden Fairy without any questioning is just too unprofessional, isn't it?"

"Have you forgotten? Even the military knows very little about the Golden Fairy."

Although the Golden Fairies work for the military and are considered a secret weapon against the Sixth Beast, they are actually not affiliated with the military and are more like mercenaries.

They usually assist the Winged Army in killing the Sixth Beast, and in return, they receive daily necessities from the Orlando Trading Company.

Even within the military, information about them is blocked.

Even high-ranking officers don't know much more than ordinary soldiers.

No one knows why the Golden Fairy's identity is so sensitive, nor does anyone know why information about the Golden Fairy is so strictly controlled.

But it's not necessary for others to know.

To put it bluntly, for the military, the Golden Fairy was nothing more than a useful weapon.

Military figures like Gray Rock Skin who care about the Golden Fairy and even have an excessive amount of affection for her are actually very rare.

Even so, Greyrock Skin, who had cooperated with many Golden Fairies, did not know the specifics of this race. All he knew was the information that circulated on the surface.

Even the golden fairies don't know much about themselves.

From birth, their activity is confined to the fairy warehouse where they reside, where they are cared for by the manager.

As they grow up, they begin to train themselves to prepare for the future battlefield.

Once they reach adulthood, the military will semi-forcibly recruit them into the Winged Army and put them into battle against the Sixth Beast.

Almost no golden fairies live past twenty years old.

This is also why the Fourth Fairy Warehouse only contains toddlers, with the oldest being Chtholly, who is only fifteen years old.

Born in a daze, died in a daze.

They know very little about their own race.

"Perhaps Tohka is a special individual born from other fairy warehouses?" Chtholly guessed.

"A special individual that can fly without fairy wings? I've never heard of that before," Athena said noncommittally.

“Go ask Nigoran, she should have a way to find out if Tohka is a Golden Fairy,” Nephren suggested.

After some discussion, the golden fairies decided to seek answers from Nigoran, the most knowledgeable person in the area.

Although Nigolan is a cannibal, as one of the managers of the fairy warehouse, he knows a lot of information about the Golden Fairy race.

Perhaps even the golden fairies know less than she does.

"William, training is temporarily suspended. Let's go find Nigolan first!"
