Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

"Even without a world of 'familiars,' I still want Natsuki-chan to break her contract with the demon~"

Yahweh bent down and, as if he were treating Aurora, reached out to stroke Nangong Nayue's little head.

This time, however, the witch did not run away in shame or anger.

"Whether as a friend or for my own sake, I want Natsuki to get out of this prison and experience the world with her own body!"

"........."

Staring blankly at the gentle-smiling young god before her, Nangong Nayue felt a strange emotion she had never experienced before surging within her.

Even when Yahweh stroked her head like he would a child, she felt no resistance at this moment; instead, she subconsciously wanted it to last longer.

"Moreover, although the magic avatar feels pretty good to hold, it's still not quite the same."

"I want to experience the feel of Nazuki-chan's real body..."

However, Yahweh's next words made the witch's expression darken, and the inexplicable emotion in her heart vanished instantly. She dodged Yahweh's move.

"Even if it were my real body, I wouldn't let you hug me, you little lolicon!"

Nazuki's cheeks were flushed, and she seemed to be a little excited.

"So, Natsuki-chan,"

Yawes, however, paid no attention to her reaction, straightened up, and kept his smile unchanged.

"...What's your choice?"

"........."

Seeing Yawei's nonchalant attitude, Nangong Nayue became even more furious.

You know, she just...

"...Hmph, why not accept such a good deal that's free?"

Finally, the witch gave a disgruntled snort and said this.

"Huh? I thought Natsuki-chan would reject me because she cared about the prisoners in jail!"

"They're just a bunch of prisoners, what's there to care about?"

Despite Yahweh's teasing words, Nangong Nayue's expression remained unchanged.

In the past, she might have cared, but now...

The three great Night Empires have all fallen, and the world is about to be ruled by the Church.

The prison's barrier only has a few prisoners; it's such a trivial matter, why should she care?

What does it mean to "open up the mindset" (completely give up)?

"Besides, you'll surely help me solve the prisoner problem, right?"

P.S.: I originally wanted to introduce Natsuki Chuu in this chapter, but I ended up writing half a chapter just about the setting, so I had to include it... But I should be able to write about the super cute Natsuki Chuu in the next chapter.

Chapter 102: Liberating the Demon Contract

"Huh? Does Tsuki-chan trust me that much?"

Yawe seemed slightly surprised by Miss Nayue's words.

"It seems I'll have to put some thought into the prison barrier. I can't let Natsuki-chan down!"

Nangong Nayue ignored Yawei's rather teasing words.

She closed her eyes, and with a thought, her mind returned to her original state.

However, her magical avatar did not disappear as a result.

Instead, because she lost Nangong Nayue's control, she fell straight backward and was caught by Yawei.

On the red chair, the petite figure, who resembled a doll, slowly opened her eyes.

She lowered her head, looked at her body, and her eyes were somewhat confused.

How long has she been...?

Have you never experienced the feeling of truly feeling the world with your own body?

Using the magical avatar, although all senses are normal, it's ultimately like looking at flowers through a fog—you can't see them clearly.

At this moment, using one's own body, even the slightest air movement feels so real.

"So……"

Yahweh set aside Nangong Nayue's magical avatar and spoke.

"...I'll begin now~"

He activated his divine power and began to sense the pact between Nangong Nayue and the demon.

"It might hurt a little at first, but it will be fine afterward..."

As the divine power tore the contract apart, Nangong Nayue couldn't help but frown slightly.

However, this level of pain was nothing to her.

And, just as Yahweh said, it really does hurt only at the very beginning.

During the subsequent process of the divine power annihilating the contract, she did not feel any discomfort.

Finally, the contract completely dissipated, but Nangong Nayue's face showed no sign of relief.

Because she knew all of this...

It’s just the beginning!

Just as she expected, only a few seconds after the contract was dissolved, a golden light suddenly appeared in the void.

A golden knight clad in golden armor appeared in the void; he was her personal guardian as a witch, "King Wheel."

She regarded it as her trump card, an existence comparable to the True Ancestor's Familiar.

This time, however, the "Wheel King" directed his chilling killing intent toward Nangong Nayue.

Because the witch's "guardian" is not only a trump card given to the witch by the demon to protect herself, but also the executioner responsible for punishing the witch when she betrays her contract with the demon.

Looking at the cold and aloof "King of Reincarnation," Nangong Nayue instinctively bit her soft lips and subconsciously wanted to take a step back.

After all, it's perfectly normal for a witch who relies on demonic power to feel fear towards the creations that embody that power.

However, Nangong Nayue is not an ordinary witch, but a "demon killer" who is famous throughout the world.

She suppressed the instinctive fear that arose within her because of her identity as a witch, and was about to step forward when Yahweh's not particularly tall figure blocked her way.

"So this is the witch's 'Guardian'? It does seem to have some merit..."

What Yawei had previously considered somewhat frivolous now sounded so reassuring to her.

That's right, she no longer needs to silently bear everything on her own like before.

Yahweh will help her with the matter of the demon.

Yahweh... will protect her...

Miss Witch stared blankly at Yahweh's retreating figure, lost in thought.

At this moment, Yahweh also reached out his hand to the guardian known as "King of the Wheel".

The witch's guardian is only a small part of the power that the demon has transferred through a contract.

However, even this small fraction of power is enough to rival the worn-out True Ancestor Familiar.

This shows that the demon that Nangong Nayue contracted was a very powerful being even among the gods.

However, none of this mattered to Yahweh.

He simply waved his hand, and the guardian known as "King of the Wheel" was instantly wiped out.

Furthermore, Yahweh's divine power, following this part of the demon's power, directly invaded its original body located in the world of familiars.

Then, without any stalemate, the demon's true form was directly obliterated by Yahweh's divine power.

"Is it over..."

Feeling the connection with the demon finally completely severed, Nangong Nayue said this in a daze.

The shackles that bound her were finally broken, and while she felt relieved, she couldn't help but feel a bit complicated.

As the contract was broken and the demon died, the power she had gained through her influence began to dissipate.

However, Nangong Nayue didn't care.

What is the loss of this power compared to freedom?

Moreover, she was already quite strong, and that added to the power she gained through the chat group.

Even without the blessing of the "Guardian" and the power of the demon, he would not be weaker than his original self and would still live up to the title of "Demon Slayer".

However, while Nangong Nayue didn't care, Yawei wasn't prepared to let her power weaken.

After all, since he was the one who took action, he naturally had to handle things perfectly.

He directly extracted and purified the source of the rules from the demon that had just been killed, and then injected it into Nangong Nayue's body.

"Yahweh..."

Feeling the power within her body, which had been dissipating, begin to rebound and rise rapidly, the witch couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Don't speak, just feel it!"

Yahweh extended his index finger and tapped Nangong Nayue's forehead.

As Yahweh moved, Nangong Nayue closed her eyes and entered into deep meditation, sitting on the red chair and beginning to absorb the essence of the demon.

If she could fully digest this source, Nangong Nayue should be able to reach a higher level and step into the realm of a fourth-order god, right?

But they have only barely stepped into the realm of gods, and their grasp of the rules is probably very weak...

After analyzing Nangong Nayue's situation, Yawei pondered for a while and then took out a silver orb of light.

This is an ability called "Spatial Control," a gift from Himeiro Wakaba to him upon meeting.

It had no effect on him, but it was just right for Nangong Nayue.
