You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Perhaps my brain was already being corrupted the moment I grasped the demonic sword.

More importantly, the girl noticed...

As long as she continues to kill within the Vatican, her inner desires can be fulfilled in some special way.

From that day on, the girl gradually devoted herself to the demonic sword.

Tonight, she will once again merge with it, transforming into a "ghost."

The girl tucked the demon sword's sheath into her belt, glanced at her own mansion with her crimson eyes, and then gazed at the night sky.

Unfortunately, the moon is obscured by dark clouds tonight.

But it will reappear sooner or later, just like the sunrise and sunset.

The night that the "ghost" longed for has come again.

The trembling never stopped.

137 New Star Slave, GET☆DAZE!

Suburbs of Shangcheng District.

The spire of the roof of one of the several manors built against the mountain.

The female assassin known as "Ghost" calmly adjusted her breathing, casting her crimson gaze toward the mansion not far away.

That was her assassination target for tonight.

Phantom had known all along that its mission objectives had been exposed to the Empire.

Even so, she did not change her mind about her goal, but instead regarded it as a challenge.

That's fine.

As a demon swordsman, just how far can I go?

To verify this, she needs to reach a higher level.

The moment she grasped the demonic sword, the girl forgot the daily teachings of her teachers and parents, transforming into a killing puppet controlled by the weapon.

The excitement of the night and the exhilaration of imagining the future made the inside of her thighs tremble uncontrollably.

The area around the mansion was covered with a network of magical barriers, making it a fortress where even a sparrow flying in would be detected.

The twenty-one layers of the barrier were arranged so ingeniously that "Ghost" couldn't help but gasp.

She was somewhat surprised that the guards responsible for the mansion's security tonight had reached such a level—

"Eulifuss, just how much power are you still hiding...?"

Phantom knows the character Euryphus Falción.

It's not the kind of acquaintance where "I know him, but he doesn't know me."

She even considers herself to be one of the people in the world who knows the Child of Prophecy best.

So when Phantomhive discovered that Euryphus had actually set up such an excellent barrier, she was incredulous for a moment.

Even with two excellent teachers assisting him, it was still a shocking fact for the girl.

But this won't scare away "Ghost," who is already very clear about the enemy she will face tonight.

Euryphus Falción, the savior who is not yet an adult.

Annabelle Rudolph, Head of the History Department at St. Cromwell Theological Seminary.

Also affiliated with the seminary, Eileen Farah is the head of the theology department.

This is the opposing team she will face tonight.

As for why "Phantom" knew so much about the enemy's configuration, the answer is that she overheard Euryphus and his group's conversation.

Mirror puppet.

This is a secret technique mastered by the "Ghosts," which allows them to use shadows to create puppets that resemble the target.

The conditions for achieving the secret technique are extremely demanding, requiring prior access to the other party's personal clothing and body tissues such as hair, but this is not a problem for "Phantom".

Mirror puppets cannot be used to curse opponents, but they can track their movements, and of course, they can also eavesdrop.

"The Ghost" has grasped all the details of Euryphus and his group.

Because she knew everything about the place, she was so confident of victory.

The biggest problem now is this barrier.

The girl took a deep breath and leaped into the air.

As the "ghost" fell, the entire barrier covering the night sky reacted.

The next instant, the barrier will transmit the message "Intruders!" to the enemy.

But there was no next moment.

The girl drew the demon sword from her waist.

It was a military knife with a beautiful shape like moonlight, exuding an exotic charm.

Hailing from the orc kingdom of the far east, she possesses a vengeful blade that corrupts the spirits of others—her name is "Demon Blade: Scattered Blossoms".

The katana flashed.

In an instant, the magical barrier set up in the sky was completely destroyed.

Along with the stardust that disintegrated from the shattered barrier, the "Ghost" quietly landed in the tranquil garden.

"Your prized barrier... doesn't seem to be all that impressive after all."

The girl sheathed the silver blade and turned to enter the mansion.

……

……

……

The ghost walked quietly down the corridor.

It was quiet.

Until ten minutes ago, the girl could still hear whispers between a man and a woman.

Those were the voices of Euryphus and his teacher Annabelle...

It's unbelievable that the prophesied child would have an affair with his own teacher...

Annabelle, despite appearing aloof and serious in front of her students, is quite the wild one in private...

Ha, that's really funny.

The girl blushed as the two made soft, suggestive noises, but thankfully it finally ended ten minutes ago.

Perhaps feeling they shouldn't go too far during the mission, they didn't go all the way to the final step and are now all asleep.

So now is her chance.

The Ghost gracefully traversed the long corridor and arrived at the door of the room where Euryphus and Annabelle were.

It was simpler than I expected.

As guards, they didn't realize that an intruder had broken in until the very end.

The girls were starting to look forward to their reactions the next morning when they discovered the "ghosts" had arrived.

Out of personal motives, Phantom did not intend to kill Euryphus and the two female teachers.

Although "Sanka" had dominated most of the girl's mind, it was not all of it.

Considering that he would continue to use this girl in the future, the demon sword decided to eliminate only the target of his revenge tonight.

The orc craftsman who forged "Sanhua" was persecuted by the imperial nobles in his lifetime, so he created a demonic sword filled with hatred.

Although Annabelle and Irene were also nobles of the empire, they had no intention of inheriting the title, so they were not on the Demon Blade's revenge list.

So, you can all sleep soundly tonight...

The ghost raised the corners of its mouth.

I pushed open the door and entered the room—

"...?"

nobody.

There was no one on the large bed where Euryphus and Annabelle should have been lying.

Even though the "Ghost" could hear the two breathing as they slept through the Mirror Puppet, there was no one in the room—but there was a magical recorder playing the sound of their breathing.

Just as the "ghost" was stunned by the sight before it—

The girl felt a chill run down her neck, and she sprinted and jumped out of the window.

at the same time,

"boom------!!!"

The next instant, the room was as if it had been bombed, with a loud explosion followed by flames.

A raging whirlwind exploded violently around the room, its roar and flashes dominating the night.

Although "Ghost" sensed the surge in magic concentration at the last minute and jumped out of the room in time, it was still caught in the shockwave and was blown away uncontrollably.

She struggled to adjust her posture in the air and barely managed to land in the garden outside the mansion.

"Ugh...!"

The moment the girl landed, a sharp, electric-like pain shot through her right ankle.

Her right ankle was injured in the magical explosion just now.

What exactly is going on...?

Before I could even bend down to treat my ankle, a new crisis arose above.

Several arrows of light appeared in the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, the arrow exploded in the air, turning into hundreds and thousands of invisible arrowheads that rained down like a storm.
