You think you're worthy of saving the world?

He is no longer the same person he was back then... who would fight the witch's retinue without hesitation.

Life is only once, and Yuri only fights battles he is confident of winning.

and so……

This was a skill that Celestia had taught him during their recent journey.

This is the only type of fairy magic that even humans can learn.

"Celesteia!"

Yuri called out his true name and activated a level 120 Grand Summoning Spell.

173 Rosa: So I'm part of your Play, huh?

"------"

The streets were shrouded in an eerie night fog in the stillness of the night.

Leoric stared at the black-haired boy not far away with his truly dark and deep-set eyes, becoming more vigilant.

"How cowardly a hero would call upon the princess in the face of battle... Isn't your duty to silently protect the princess?"

He mocked the boy as a coward.

On the other hand, Yuri showed a completely dismissive expression: "It's always better than a treacherous villain who sends his men to their deaths before the battle, while he hides in the shadows and observes the enemy's fight."

"Tch... This is my cautious way of dealing with the world. How could a brat like you understand?"

On his way here, Leoric also heard some rumors.

Princess Celeste seems like a completely different person ever since she escaped from the demons.

The princess, who should have been weak and helpless and only able to accept protection, is now as strong as a monster, slaughtering the demon race as if it were a genocide.

Leoric couldn't help but recall the words of the Demon King Rosa: Princess Celeste is not normal; do not confront that woman.

That's why he deliberately chose to attack the hero late at night when everyone was quiet.

His earlier statement about capturing the hero and the princess and dissecting them for research was just a smokescreen; his only target tonight is the hero.

But unexpectedly, the hero showed no sense of responsibility whatsoever, and even in the dead of night, he dragged the princess over to help him in battle!

There's no other way... now that things have come to this, we have to bite the bullet and go for it.

In short, we should control one of them first.

Leoric raised his right arm, revealing a chillingly white skeletal hand from his wide sleeve.

Dark magic gathered between the bones' fingers, but just then,

"……what?"

A warning sign of an impending crisis caused the lich to slow down his spellcasting.

The town's streets bulged, and the ground began to tremble.

It's not an earthquake; it's a planetary movement with a specific purpose, unlike natural phenomena like earthquakes.

"!!!"

The lich temporarily switched the type of spell, consuming a large amount of mana in one go, forcibly switching the offensive magic to a jump spell for evasion.

In an instant, the black-robed undead vanished into the night.

The very next second, the spot where Leoric had been standing was destroyed.

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

A massive iron hammer fell from the sky, shattering the street and the earth into dust.

The lich's figure appeared in mid-air several meters away.

The situation just now was extremely close. If Leoric, being a dead man, hadn't possessed an extraordinary sense of death, he probably would have been killed by that attack.

But what exactly is that...!?

What appeared out of nowhere on the deserted streets in the dead of night was a giant humanoid monster over twenty meters tall, and it was continuing to expand at a visible rate.

The rock has a hard and ancient texture, and its surface is covered with green vegetation and human weapons.

Despite being a non-biological physical body, it possesses the same breathing and will as a living being, radiating an aura of divine majesty.

This is an earth golem created by magic...

The thought popped into the mind of the lich Leoric.

However, the size of the golem was simply too enormous and astonishing.

Its massive, sky-covering form obscured the moonlight, and its raised arms themselves formed a street.

Compared to this monster, the golems I can create are practically hamsters.

At this moment, the lich finally noticed that the surrounding houses were disappearing one after another.

Could this monster be—

"Is this child a 'town fairy'?"

The beautiful figure appearing in the night said this.

"Hero, I'm late! Are you alright?"

Princess Celeste appeared beside Yuri and anxiously examined his body.

"I'm fine... More important now is the enemy." Yuri coldly pushed away the elven queen who pressed her face against his.

The lich Leoric was speechless.

If he weren't just a skeleton, his eyes would probably be wide open right now.

"You actually said...this monster is a fairy!?"

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Celestia tilted her head in confusion, looking at the giant she had created.

As they spoke, the giant had swelled to over thirty meters tall and was still growing seemingly without end.

Fairy magic—

Similar to human divine magic and orcish spells, it is a spell that only elves can use.

Elves can create "spiritual beings" by infusing their spiritual energy (flow) into matter.

These "spiritual beings" that were given life and created by elves are collectively called "fairies".

The most well-known use of these arrows is that the elves infuse their divine energy into them, producing a large quantity of "fairy arrows."

The "Fairy Arrow" not only possesses power far exceeding that of ordinary arrows, but also, because it has its own will, it is able to hit the mark every time and strike vital points.

Generally speaking, fairies that can be created are originally extremely small and light objects, which is consistent with human understanding of fairies.

For example, arrows for bows and crossbows, or stones for catapults.

For example, the feathered robes worn by the elves, the jewels they carry, their hair ornaments, and so on.

Fairy magic requires extremely high precision and control.

In general, the largest "inanimate object" that can be given life is a two-handed greatsword; it is very difficult to exceed that weight.

If it is a "living creature" that originally possessed life, especially one that has a connection with spirits...

For example, trees don't have such stringent requirements—

A powerful elven priest can transform a small forest into his own elf army.

Towns undoubtedly fall into the category of "inanimate objects".

How should the weight of a town be calculated?

Ultimately, can a town be considered a "whole" or an "object"?

"Hmm? Of course you can forget about it... Even if they are things born from human civilization, they are all my children."

Celestia's composed smile somehow carried a hint of allure.

Leoric's jaw trembled incessantly, squeezing out sounds.

"Then, could it be... that you could also... something even larger than this town...?"

Celestia rested her finger on her chin: "Hmm, actually I've wanted to try this for a long time, to turn the Demon King's castle into my summoned fairy..."

"The Fairy of the Demon King's Castle," doesn't that sound adorable?

Celestia thought happily: What kind of expression will Rosa have when she sees her castle turned into an enemy? I really can't wait to find out.

"…………"

Leoric was speechless.

The greatest elven queen in history, whose fairy magic surpassed the lich's imagination.

Leoric was once the most powerful magician on the continent, a peerless genius who became the royal court magician at the young age of 16.

Later, in order to reach even greater heights of magic, he even went so far as to sacrifice his body to an evil god, becoming a lich.

However, at that moment, Leoric felt an unprecedented sense of frustration, realizing that he was still in the realm of mortals.

Celestia is wicked too… Yuri glanced at the goddess beside him and thought to himself.

The reason why the "Eternal Queen" can use fairy magic far beyond the norm is not due to her spellcasting ability, but actually the application of her power.

As a goddess of beauty existing in the real material world, the Elf Queen possesses the divinity of "beauty".

Charm and illusion magic were as easy for her as breathing, and given Celestia's status as queen, it was only natural that she would have control over everything in the world.

"Alright, that's enough small talk."

Celestia raised one of her jade-like arms, then lowered it and pointed it directly at the lich floating in mid-air.

"I have another appointment with the hero, so please just die obediently."

“Boom boom boom boom…”

The deafening roar was like the throbbing of a planet.

The earth giant that the town itself had transformed into responded to the queen's words, turning its body face to face the lich.
