The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Professor Sylph checked the "Blood Sword" in her hand again, then said softly, "Next, I need your help."

　The Bloodborne Sword Saint understood something and smiled broadly: "It is my great honor."

　Aleister Aldridge immediately felt a great threat!

　……

　That's how war is; even the strongest are caught in the middle, their lives are as worthless as grass.

　The "Lich" Ian Tuttle was undeniably powerful. Yet, in a single exchange, he was so terrified that his soul self-destructed, and he didn't even dare to take the "Ghost Eye," a weapon that could be considered a demigod's artifact.

　"Demon" Vernon was undeniably powerful, but it became a burden in this battle. When Aleister Eldridge was too preoccupied to deal with it, it died silently.

　The other black-robed demons didn't want to die meaninglessly like it, so they kept hiding their abilities and slacking off.

　But apart from the "Tower Demon" Ata, who was ignored by everyone and managed to escape, the other black-robed demons were already deeply mired in the water.

　Fortunately, there was no mud or mire in that pool.

　Even though they were far apart, even though they were blocked by the "Boundary-Breaking Thunder Sea", even though they were deeply embroiled in a fierce battle.

　Even Naral Vlad, the "vampire" who had just been resurrected from blood, noticed the death of "Demon" Fern.

　First came the death of "Mud Nightmare," then the death of "Lich" Ian, and now it's the turn of "Demon" Fern. So what will happen next?

　They didn't pay much attention when the "Mud Nightmare" died, because the "Mud Nightmare" was already dying anyway.

　They didn't pay much attention when the "lich" died, because the "lich" had a life box.

　But when the "demon" dies, he is truly dead.

　In an instant, the remaining five black-robed demons recalled the cruelty of the battlefield.

　Among them, Nalar, who had just activated the "True Ancestor's Blood," was on the verge of death.

　The ferocity that had just surged in its mind subsided almost instantly.

　What? Aleister the Demon King? Aldridge's revenge.

　What kind of endless pursuit follows the exposure of one's identity?

　If I die now, what will be left for me?

　The primal aura of the "True Ancestor" had just soared into the sky, dyeing the night sky a chilling red.

　Nalar, displaying immense power, exploded completely in that instant, and countless bats fled frantically into the still deep night.

　I'm not playing along anymore!

　……

Chapter 773 Daily Request for Tickets: A Boat Full of Dreams Pressing Down on the Milky Way

　It must be said that Naral's escape was exceptionally decisive.

　Especially the instantaneous judgment made after the power has climbed to its peak, and the powerful control over one's own rationality, are simply astonishing.

　Even Dark Dimon was completely taken aback by her sudden move.

　When Nalar burst into countless bats with the immense power brought by the "blood of the true ancestors," Dark even thought it was some kind of offensive ultimate move—he really didn't expect her to make such a decisive escape!

　Even as Nalar, transformed into a bat, frantically scattered in all directions, Dark cautiously believed it was a trap. He feared that a hasty pursuit would only result in a surprise attack.

　However, since Nalar chose to run away, there was truly no turning back!

　Unfortunately, she could fool the overly cautious young master, but not the young master's maid.

　"Dress!"

　Almost instantly, a blinding white light shone on Ollie's body, and the phantom of Aries emerged from the card, leaping into her body with its limbs spread wide.

　When the constellation of Aries unfolds behind it, pure white armor clings to its body and manifests rapidly.

　This "Golden Armor - Aries Palace" outfit resembles a battle skirt, paired with a long-handled warhammer, making Ori look more like a "battlefield saintess" rather than a support character primarily focused on healing abilities.

　Of course, each of the "Twelve Gold Saint Armor" provides a basic boost to combat power.

　Even the Aries Saint Set, which is primarily focused on healing abilities, is no exception.

　Moreover, in Arvit's God of War system, the "Twelve Golden Armorers" are not all of them.

　The series of magic cards derived from the attire of the "Twelve Golden Armors" is the essence of the God of War system.

　After Oli finished dressing, she reached out her right hand and, using her magic and weaponry, sent a magic card from her card pack into her palm, then quickly chanted an incantation.

　Three seconds later, she gently tossed the magic card. The magic card, named "Aries Rescue Team," then spun out.

　When it stopped, a flat, open door of light appeared on the card.

　A small sheep with curly wool all over its body cautiously emerged, looking around carefully.

　This little lamb has fluffy wool, a round and chubby appearance, a pink medical kit hanging around its neck, and tiny chicken wings like angel wings growing on its back.

　—Light attribute? Angel type? Legion card? Aries Palace exclusive!

　"Hehehehe—"

　After emerging from the portal, the little lamb called out softly to Ollie, then, following Ollie's instructions, it flapped its wings and instantly transformed into a streak of light, quickly chasing after the scattering bats.

　Then a second lamb emerged, followed by a third, a fourth... The small portal was forcefully opened, and more lambs squeezed out, chasing after the bat that Nalar had transformed into.

　After three seconds, Ollie continued to summon, and after another three seconds, she activated a limited magic card called "Expanded Legion".

　With the blessing of this magic card, the portal to the "Aries Rescue Team" suddenly expanded fourfold. The number of Aries emerging from it also increased more than fourfold!

　These are legion-type magic cards and their standard set, originally designed for battlefield rescue, with the primary purpose of quickly saving hundreds of wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Therefore, the sheep summoned by these magic cards possess the ability to fly, extremely high speed, necessary strength, and essential emergency healing abilities.

　Their "medical kits" even contain things like "anesthetic needles" and "sedatives"...

　In short, once the needle is applied, even a first-tier magical elf will find it difficult to withstand.

　The positive effects of Nalar's individual strength enhancement have resulted in bats that each possess power comparable to a three-star magical spirit. However, they will have to face fast, resilient little lambs equipped with "anesthesia needles."

　Not long after, the first bat was caught up and then ridden on by the little sheep, who forcibly injected it with anesthesia!

　The scene was utterly unbearable to look at.

　The little lamb didn't stop after numbing one bat. Its wool grew rapidly, woven into a rope, and tied the motionless bat to its back as if it were a wounded soldier, before rushing off to the next wounded.

　The sheep in the "Aries Rescue Team" have basic strength. However, their attack power is displayed as 0 because they are not aggressive and will never harm any individual, friend or foe.

　Of course, anesthesia doesn't count!

　But if you ask whether there are more sheep or bats?

　Of course, there are more bats.

　Moreover, the mana consumed by the "Aries Rescue Team" + "Expanded Legion" is terrifying.

　Therefore, the wearer who can gain the approval of the "Aries Palace Armor" is not only talented in magic, but more importantly, has a terrifyingly large capacity of magic power!

　Every owner of the "Aries Saint Armor" is a veritable "magic vessel".

　Of course, human magic has its limits.

　Ori is not a born saint like Alvitt. Although her magical capacity is astonishing among humans, it is only barely up to standard in the eyes of the "Aries Saint Armor".

　However, the five bottles of "Phoenix Blood Potion" she consumed during that ritual further enhanced her mana capacity. In particular, her mana regeneration rate increased exponentially.

　Although it is still not as good as Valkyrie, it is relatively close.

　The blissful feeling of rapidly replenishing one's magic power after it has been partially depleted is something countless spellcasters can never experience in their entire lives.

　After summoning the "Aries Rescue Team" and the "Expanded Legion," Aoli considered her remaining mana and then took out another "Aries Rescue Team" card...

　So, a swarm of little lambs followed the little bat that had disappeared into the twilight, like a continuously spreading firework.

　……

　But after summoning a total of three "Aries Rescue Teams", Ollie stopped.

　She did not personally pursue or use any more powerful techniques.

　After activating the "True Ancestor's Blood," Naral is undeniably powerful. Furthermore, she sensed an extremely mysterious aura within Naral, meaning she wasn't entirely confident of victory.

　In the current situation, chasing after a vampire while ignoring the present circumstances would be a losing proposition.

　She hadn't forgotten that her mission was to protect the young master... oh, to capture Number Two.

　……

　However, at this moment, Nalar was frantically moving among the bats in order to escape the little lamb's pursuit.

　Once she makes a move, she can easily eliminate any lamb. And after eliminating one, she can immediately transfer her power to other bats.

　All the items she carries are attached to her soul and consciousness, and they move with her.

　The bats will become her flesh and blood, and any bat can carry her soul.

　No one could catch her under these circumstances, not even... the Valkyrie!

　The bat attached to Nalar suddenly turned its head, its gaze dark as it looked at Ori, who was facing the "Aries Palace Armor". Then it immediately moved to a different position so that Ori could sense its gaze.

　From the very beginning, she sensed a familiar fragrance emanating from Ollie; it was the scent of the Valkyrie!

　Who is the boy being protected by this maid who has the scent of a Valkyrie?

　The answer is already obvious!

　"Luckily, I didn't hurt him, otherwise I wouldn't have survived!"

　Naral was overjoyed, for she vividly remembered that one of her uncles had died while infiltrating St. Marian Academy to assassinate the Golden Generation, who had not yet revealed their prowess to the outside world, and Valkyrie was one of those Golden Generation members.

　She also had a grandfather she greatly admired, a vampire duke who had lived for countless years. He was killed by the Valkyrie herself, and even his ashes were scattered!

　She had heard her elders say that the Valkyrie was a born saint, with divine blood flowing in her veins. Even if her clan fully awakened the "True Ancestor Blood" within them, they would only be comparable to the Valkyrie in terms of bloodline strength.

　As this thought quietly surfaced, Nalar suddenly remembered a question.

　From which god does the Valkyrie's divine lineage originate?

　……

　The escape of "Vampire" Naral Vlad had a significant impact on the war.

　The death of "Demon Man" Ian had already shaken the resolve of those black-robed demons who had never intended to fight to the death.

　Nalar's desertion at the last minute further solidified their "wavering" resolve.

　The saying goes, "The law does not punish the masses." Even if the Demon King Aleister Aldridge manages to escape from this battle... if everyone deserts, it's impossible for him to punish everyone, right?

　Putting everything else aside, the black-robed demons were still somewhat confident in their own usefulness.

　In this era where the remnants of the demon race are barely clinging to life, demons with their strength are truly hard to find.

　Even if the Demon King has the ability to cultivate demons, he won't be able to accomplish anything within three to five years without sufficient resources.

　As for three to five years from now... who knows what will happen in three to five years?

　The world changes too fast.

　The recent changes in the times have given them the feeling that each year marks the beginning of a new era.

　Let's focus on the present.

　……

　With this in mind, "Beast Demon" Tonya was the first to set an example.

　She had been hiding all along, preparing to flee the battlefield long ago.

　As for the magical beast she controls—"Thunder Roc"?

　Wasn't that thing having a lot of fun with the little fairy?

　Let them keep playing!

　After making up her mind to escape, Donya decisively severed the link between herself and the "Thunderous Roc," swallowed the tiny amount of damage from the contract's backlash, and burrowed into the body of a strange magical beast that was completely transparent and resembled clam meat. Then... she disappeared without a trace.

　In that instant, Professor Lily seemed to sense something and glanced in the direction where Donya had disappeared.

　But she didn't pursue it. Instead, she chuckled and placed a small hand on the head of the "Thunderous Roc".

　With this palm strike, immense magical power surged forth, and a complex magic circle composed of hundreds of magic arrays rapidly unfolded on the head of the "Thunderous Roc." Freed from the suppression of the "Beast Demon" contract, the "Thunderous Roc" quickly chose to submit, allowing the imprint of magical power to penetrate deep into its body, erasing even the last trace left by Donya, and then re-establishing the exclusive contract with the little fairy.

　Although the little fairy is mischievous, she has an innate affinity for people and is exceptionally talented in "beast taming".
