You think you're worthy of saving the world?

There are indeed some transformation-type skills in the game.

For example, the ultimate move of the Paladin class is to grow angel wings from its back and gain various, almost invincible buffs.

But the idea of ​​demon transformation was something he had never heard of before.

Could it be the demon form I imagined?

Yuri swallowed hard and opened the skill description.

[Demon Transformation: Unleashes the demonic power within, transforming into a demon form.]

Strength, speed, stamina, magic power, and regeneration abilities will all be greatly enhanced.

[Note: Once a Majin matures, it gains the ability to jump and fly against gravity.]

Yuri was overjoyed: It really is the demon form I imagined, and the key is that it can double jump!

He began to struggle with whether to temporarily abandon his royal dignity and humbly ask the "Crimson Witch" beside him, "Where did this demonization come from?"

"My king, what's wrong? Is something making you feel unwell?"

A voice of guilt rang in Yuri's ears.

Queen Greycastle keenly sensed the sudden wavering in her master's heart after he accepted her power.

She thought that her strength was too weak, which made Yuri feel unhappy.

Actually, it's the opposite; Yuri is having an amazing time right now.

That face, which should have been cold and aloof, was now dominated by unease and fear, making Yuri unable to suppress a smile.

Perhaps this is a little Easter egg about the Crimson Power that even the "Crimson Witch" herself is unaware of?

Yuri speculates that when she makes a contract with the witch and transfers all her powers to her master, she will gain this skill.

Crimson Power (50%) is a permanent buff that should disappear when you leave the singularity or when the "Crimson Witch" dies.

Demon Transformation (Lv.1) is my skill... which means it might be indefinite?

The Prophet shook his head: "No, Crimson, I have no complaints about you."

But... our compatibility seems too good, to the point that it's produced some kind of miraculous reaction.

As the black-haired boy spoke, he raised his left hand under the gaze of the blonde witch.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, what is this...!?"

Driven by Yuri's will, a crimson mist emanated from his left arm, and at the same time, his golden eyes were tinged with a scarlet luster.

This terrifyingly dense magical power, as if it possessed a life of its own, rapidly coiled around Yuri's left wrist—

Yuri's left hand transformed into a red and black, demonic-looking alien claw.

This is a demonic prosthetic arm that exudes an ominous crimson aura from the inside out.

Sharp and pointed claws, long and powerful fingers, and palms covered with a sturdy chitinous exoskeleton.

I see… Yuri understood immediately. “Demon Transformation (Lv.1)” can only change the user’s left hand at most.

If you want to transform your entire left forearm into a demon, or even into a crimson demon with wings or create phantom clones, you need to increase your skill level.

"This... solemn posture, this terrifying appearance, could it be...!"

The blonde witch covered her red lips in surprise, then exclaimed with unbridled joy, "Congratulations! My King!"

This is probably a sign that the ritual was successful... You are beginning to reclaim your power little by little!

"Crimson Witch" seems to regard the demon prosthetic arm as the true form of the "Witch Queen" and sees demonization as Yuri's own power.

It's not surprising that she would think that way.

After all, aspiration is the furthest distance from understanding.

In the eyes of the "Crimson Witch," Yuri is both the prophesied witch savior and her only understanding and supporter in this world.

But she didn't understand Yuri at all.

However, Yuri did not ridicule the "Crimson Witch's" ignorance; on the contrary, she was genuinely pleased and readily accepted her praise.

"You deserve some credit for this too, stand tall and be proud, Crimson."

"Yes, yes... I am honored to be your strength, and that is the meaning of my existence. Please allow me to continue serving you for the foreseeable future."

The "Crimson Witch" looked like she was about to cry, and it took Yuri a long time to comfort her before she stopped crying.

"Um, my master..."

At some point, the beautiful face of the "Crimson Witch" was tinged with a luscious, rosy blush.

"Could you please grant me a small wish?"

"...?"

Yuri frowned, and after carefully observing her reaction, he suddenly realized.

The "Crimson Witch's" trembling blue eyes were clearly pleading, "Please touch my body with that hand." She really couldn't shake her greedy nature...

Yuri thought to herself, "This is a good opportunity to test the dexterity and tactile sensitivity of this hand."

"Yan Hong, take off your shirt."

"...Huh!?" The blonde beauty's mouth was half open.

"That's an order, hurry up," Yuri urged.

"Ah...yes, as you command."

The "Crimson Witch" lowered her burning cheeks and unbuttoned her dress shirt one button at a time.

Her slender yet voluptuous, white body with its explosive curves, and her mature-looking purple lingerie, were now fully exposed to Yuri.

"This is a reward for you; please accept it with gratitude."

As he spoke, the boy extended his demonic prosthetic arm and used its long, sharp claws to rip open the purple lace trim...

"Master... thank you?"

Queen Grey Castle gently bit her lip and raised her beautiful head.

……

……

……

As the "Crimson Witch" put her top back on, a crow landed on the windowsill.

Yuri went over and took the letter for her.

Upon opening it, they discovered it was a secret report sent back by a retinue dispatched by the Queen of Greycastle to the front lines and infiltrate the territory of Valpughis.

The content is as follows:

A week ago, the witches of Graycastle encountered and captured an elf on the border of Arthas. Her true identity is the next Elf Queen of the Holy Tree Kingdom.

After escaping Grey Castle, she fled to the territory of Valpughis and was received by Lady Valpughis.

There, she sent several letters to the Kingdom of the Sacred Tree, the Papal City, and the "Saintess of Ashes," explaining her ordeal.

Princess Tia, representing the Holy Tree Kingdom, made at least three requests to the Church.

First, the Church of Heavenly Reason must immediately acknowledge the existence of magic and admit that they had concealed the existence of witches.

Secondly, the church was asked to reorganize its military and prepare for the war against the witches that would soon come.

Third, she requested the church to posthumously confer the title of paladin upon the young knight who accompanied her at the time.

The letters sent to the Vatican contained roughly this kind of content, but the contents of the letters sent to the Holy Tree Kingdom and the Holy Maiden are unknown.

However, one thing is certain: the Holy Tree Kingdom will likely send troops to aid Valpugis territory.

It's even possible that Astraea, the "Saintess of Ashes," will personally come to the border of Arthas.

In addition, Lady Valpughis decided to hold a duel tournament within her territory in ten days.

The final victor of the dueling tournament will be bestowed the title of "Hero" by Tia in the name of the Princess of the Sacred Tree Kingdom.

If nothing unexpected happens, she and the fairy princess will declare war on the witch in the name of saviors at the same time they select the "hero".

Yuri: "...Huh?"

065 Rosa: Will we win? (Please read on!!!)

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? You look very pale."

"Crimson Witch" asked worriedly.

Yuri held the letter, speechless for a long time.

Tia is the next queen of the Holy Tree Kingdom? Huh? The next queen... isn't that Celestia, the "Eternal Queen" who has reigned for nearly 2000 years?!

Although Yuri had a vague feeling that Tia was someone special, he never imagined that she was actually a princess.

Since the game hasn't progressed to the Elf Kingdom chapter yet, "Eternal Queen" Celestia doesn't have much of a role in the game.

She only has a little information revealed through NPCs and her backstory.

She is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, gentle, dignified, beautiful and noble. She is the longest-reigning and greatest queen in the Elf Kingdom since the Holy Calendar.

Yuri was speechless: there wasn't a single characteristic of the "Eternal Queen" that matched Tia!

Even though she is not queen yet, she is the third most important person in the elven kingdom, after her mother and the "Sacred Tree".

If, at her call, the elves declare a full-scale war against the witch...

Yuri gasped: The elves didn't participate in the historical witch wars...!

In his original plan, Yuri would gradually gain power in Graycastle and the witches' trust, eventually making them completely obedient to him.

Then, he will lead the witches in a sneak attack! They will occupy the Valpugis territory, seize the city, and imprison the Countess, played by Rosalia.

Then, before anyone could react—

Yuri initiates the "Witch's Night," sacrificing his dearest witch sisters to clear the singularity via the "Descendant of the Evil God" route.

Now, this perfect speedrun plan is not working.

Not only does Tia have an incredibly powerful background that he can't even imagine, but she's also gone and teamed up with Rosalia!
