You think you're worthy of saving the world?

“Some of our people have already gone back to the village and released all the children!”

"What!?"

"Do you want them to see what kind of shady business their parents are doing here?"

"How...do you even have any humanity left?!"

You are the ones who have no humanity!

The head maid panicked when she saw the islanders suddenly take up arms and rebel.

Although she anticipated what the outsiders would do at today's ceremony, she did not expect this situation to occur.

Looking at the chaotic situation before her, the head maid felt both outmaneuvered and impressed by her opponent.

Madame Emil did not have the determination or will to rise up in rebellion... Even if she lost her daughter, she would only bury her head and cry, and the head lady-in-waiting knew her character very well.

The person who persuaded her was... that boy.

The head maid glared at Yuri, filled with regret: she should have put him under house arrest back then.

On the other hand, the battle above the altar has reached its climax.

Despite their astonishing magical abilities and resistances, the temple's maids couldn't even get close to Chaika.

The situation was one-sided.

Even the head maid had to admit that she had lost, and lost completely.

The long braid swayed as the magic flowed.

With her full lips curving slightly upwards, Chaika smiled alluringly.

Clearly, she had entered a state of frenzy.

With a smile, Chaika's long, beautiful legs became a blur.

She suddenly spun around and kicked her heel at the face of the maid who was lunging at her from behind, sending her flying ten meters away.

Her astonishing speed and power would make one think that this girl is a warrior or knight.

"I regularly work out, don't I?"

Chaika licked her lips.

I initially thought she was just a bookworm... but this woman is even crazier than I imagined.

Stella thought to herself: Could Yuri have some qualities that attract "abnormal women"?

"It's about time to end this, isn't it? I've gone a bit too far with my leniency...!"

Faced with the persistent maids, several magnificent magic circles appeared behind Chaika, swirling in mid-air and radiating light.

"You forced me to do this, and I'm not responsible for what happens next!"

As she shouted this, she raised her finger, and several magic circles in mid-air began to overlap, eventually focusing on the same straight line.

Then, a purple beam of light emanated from the center of the last layer of the magic circle.

With each layer of magic array it passed through, the beam of light continuously increased in brightness and speed.

A beam of light, imbued with destructive power, hurtled down like a meteor towards the stunned maids and the ground beneath their feet.

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

The powerful impact shook the ground, even giving people the illusion of an earthquake.

In the blink of an eye, the altar shattered and clods of earth scattered.

"Wait...this is going too far!!"

Yuri and Stella both shouted out at the same time.

Jaika, who had intended to gracefully lower her arm, now had a stiff expression, realizing that her action just now had gone a bit too far.

It was too late for regrets; their foundation was beginning to crumble.

The altar floor was blasted open by Jayka, revealing a bottomless, pitch-black crater below.

"What is this, uh... Aa ...

The instigator, Jaika, screamed as she fell downwards.

The magic circle sequencer she just used had exhausted her magic power, and she was still in the cooldown state after using the skill.

"Mrs. Emil, catch!"

In a split second, Yuri tossed Emily, whom he was holding, to her mother, then grabbed Chaika by the back of her collar with one hand and hugged Stella tightly with the other.

The three of them fell together into the bottomless abyss below the altar.

……

……

……

"...Waaah."

The first thing Jia Yika felt after regaining consciousness was that her muscles ached all over.

She was lying when she claimed that she "works out regularly"; she hardly exercises at all.

Therefore, the battle just now left her feeling sore and aching all over.

"Yuri?"

The surroundings were pitch black, and the girl cried out helplessly.

"I'm here."

A reassuring young voice came through.

Jaika spread her five fingers, and several clusters of white orbs of light appeared from her palm, floating into the air and illuminating the dark underground.

She followed the sound and soon met up with Yuri.

There were Yuri and Stella, along with the head maid and several maids who had fallen.

The head maid and the maids had their hands bound by magic threads, and Yuri was using divine magic to heal their injuries, which left them looking unwilling.

"Is it over?" Chaika asked.

"Ah..." Yuri nodded, "It's over. It's a pity you didn't get to see my heroic figure in battle."

"That's such a pity~"

Although Chaika used a sarcastic tone, she was genuinely a little disappointed.

It seems that during the brief few minutes she was unconscious, another battle broke out underground, and Yuri won.

The maids lost their fighting ability, and the head maid was also taken control of by them.

With the crisis resolved, the "Crimson Festival" could no longer continue.

All that's left is to get back on land and put pressure on the islanders.

Jia Yika breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around at her surroundings.

"There's such a huge cavity beneath the altar... Yuri, did you know this from the beginning?"

"No, if I had known, I wouldn't have allowed you to use that kind of magic to attack the ground."

"I'm really... I'm so sorry!"

Jaika's cheeks flushed, and she changed the subject, asking, "Where does that lead?"

The direction the girl pointed was to the other end of the underground cavern.

After looking around, she realized that she was not in a simple underground space, but at the beginning of an underground passage that was incredibly tall and wide.

Even when she tried to use the magic of light to penetrate the passage, she couldn't see the end at all.

“If we keep walking along the passage, we should reach the Dragon God’s palace… Am I right, Head Maid?”

In contrast to Yuri's smile, the head maid's face turned pale, and unease flickered in her eyes.

"Huh? Wait, something's not right...?"

Stella frowned and objected: "But what's ahead is..."

"The seabed is just ahead."

Yuri nodded and said, "The Dragon God of Dragon God Island has been hiding beneath the sea for the past thousand years."

"!"

Chaika and Stella's eyes widened.

I searched the entire island from top to bottom, but I couldn't find a single trace of the Dragon God's activities... So that's what happened.

They all fell into a fundamental misconception: they assumed that dragons must nest on land.

However, surrounding this island lies an infinite space that is hundreds of millions of times larger than the land – the ocean.

"let's go."

Yuri began walking towards the dark end of the underground passage.

"..."

Chaika nodded and took the magic threads that controlled the head maid and the maids from his hand.

The group ventured deeper into the abyss.

"The Dragon God is real, and has always been hiding in the sea..."

The girls finally understood the mystery of the Dragon God's existence.

But they were still puzzled: why was it the seabed?

As they tilted their heads in thought, Yuri continued.

"During the ten-plus days I lived on this island, I found that everything here—people, animals, and plants—was too abnormal. I believe it was caused by the influence of the Dragon God."

Yuri had mentioned it to them before.

A mysterious force, yet unknown to humankind, is profoundly influencing this island.
