Are you worthy of saving the world?

……

……

The day of the "Blush Festival" finally arrived.

In order to appease the Dragon God who has been protecting the island for a thousand years, the islanders gathered together.

People from various villages locked their children in their homes and gathered around the "Dragon Priestess" and the sacrificial girl to the altar.

"Long live the Dragon God!" "Honor our beautiful priestess and pure girl!"

Shouts continued to be heard from the crowd.

It was the first time that Emily felt such a grand enthusiasm, and she was very nervous.

Stella held her little hand and stood expressionlessly in the carriage decorated with flowers and fruits.

"Yuli and Jiaika are my friends." She suddenly said this without any reason.

"Brother and sister?"

The little girl tilted her head in confusion. Why would the witch say this at a time like this?

After a long while, her little brain finally understood: "Does the witch want me to feel relieved?"

Emily narrowed her eyes in pleasure.

"Not really." Stella snorted.

The carriage set out from the foot of the mountain in the center of the island, and after several hours of cruising, it finally arrived at the altar at the northernmost end of Dragon God Island.

Next, Emily will lie on the rectangular stone coffin reminiscent of a coffin in the center of the altar.

She would drink the secret medicine prepared by the maids for her in advance - actually it was a sleeping pill, and then...

The "Dragon Priestess" will use a knife to dig out the girl's heart and offer it to the Dragon God.

"Miko-sama! Miko-sama!" "Our 'Dragon Miko'-sama!"

The ceremony has reached its climax.

The scene gradually became frenzied.

Stella stared at the sleeping girl in front of her without blinking, and slowly swung the dagger in her hand——

At this moment, two figures descended from a high altitude into the center of the altar.

Yuli and Jiaika had been lying in ambush at the festival venue from the very beginning, crouching on top of the stone pillars and hiding their bodies with magic, waiting for an opportunity to interrupt the ceremony.

They cast wind magic on themselves, so their movements were so fast that even the maid closest to them didn't have time to react.

Jiaika was in charge of Emily's side. She jumped down, landed in front of the coffin and held Emily in her arms.

Yuli was in charge of Stella. He put one hand around the waist of the witch's costume and used the other hand to control the dagger and put it against her white neck.

"Miko-sama!"

A villager shouted in a frightened voice.

"Don't move at all!"

Yuli shook the blade and shouted at the agitated crowd. Stella, the hostage, cooperated very well and pressed her back against him.

"Do you realize what you are doing?"

Right in front of the altar, the head maid of the Dragon God Temple stared at Yuli and Jiaika with cold eyes as she climbed the stairs step by step.

"I said don't move!"

Yuli shouted again and pressed the dagger in his hand against Stella's neck.

However, the maid remained unmoved.

She seemed to have decided that it was impossible for Yuli to kill Stella.

In fact, the head maid had already noticed something unusual.

The "Dragon Priestess" got too close to the boy from outside the island.

Although she had no chance of knowing the true relationship between Yuli and Stella, she thought of another aspect.

After all, Ulysses is a one in a million beautiful boy.

The witch who grew up in seclusion and had never seen the world was fascinated by the handsome man from the mainland. The two fell in love and agreed to escape to the island together and become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks.

Such a drama seems to have happened in the history of Dragon God Island.

Seeing that it had no deterrent effect, Yuli couldn't help but mutter, "Are you really useless as a hostage?"

"Huh?" Stella raised the corner of her mouth in dissatisfaction.

By the way, it was Stella who proposed the hostage operation, and she felt that she had high value.

"Hey! Yuri! You! Why are you doing this?!"

The one roaring from below was Emily's grandfather, the village chief.

You can see that he is very angry now, and the wrinkles on his face are squeezed together.

No wonder.

After all, he sincerely treated Yuli and Jiaika as VIP guests, but he was "betrayed" by them at the most important moment.

In his opinion, since his granddaughter's fate of becoming a living sacrifice could not be changed, Emily should be given a decent and glorious ending, but Yuli ruined it all.

"What an unreasonable old fool!"

The maids who were standing in a circle around the altar approached Yuri and Jiaika.

"Catch these two thieves who ruined the festival."

The maid gave orders.

Then, the maids rushed towards Yuli and his group, and the villagers also rushed to the altar, trying to block their escape route.

Jiaika raised her snow-white arms.

The beautiful long fingers shone in the sunlight.

The next moment, a torrent of magical power gathered above the altar.

In order not to harm the lives of the maids, she chose the wind magic with the lowest lethality.

"------"

However, an unexpected scene happened.

The whirlwind directed by Jiaika wrapped around the maids' bodies but did not tie them up, but was disintegrated.

Jiaika narrowed her eyes: Just as Yuli said, these women... have magical qualities!

Where did the woman on the island far away from the mainland learn magic?

There was no time to think about this question, as two maids rushed over, their hands were wrapped with ominous magic, some kind of magic that was full of lethality.

Jiayika abandoned her last bit of innocence.

The maids' hands that were grabbing them were easily repelled by Jiayi Ka's wave of her hands. Then she protected the unconscious Emily behind her and shot purple lightning from her fingertips.

“Oooooh…ah…!”

Amid the maids' screams, flashes of lightning pierced through them without causing any physical damage.

The two maids flew out of the altar and fell unconscious below.

Yuli and Stella on the side looked at the scene in surprise.

So strong!

Who said this woman is not good at fighting?

Even though her spellcasting ability was limited to the fifth tier, the singularity could not weaken her mastery of magic power.

Although he used powerful lightning magic, he managed to stun the opponent without endangering his life.

Although she didn't want to admit it, even in the area of ​​magic combat, which was what Jiayika was least good at, and even though her power was limited to the fifth level, Jiayika was still better than Stella in terms of magic.

What is even more unacceptable is that this woman is obviously not a witch, but she has a magical affinity far beyond that of a witch. It is as if she was born into the world with the love of magic...!

As Stella marveled at the genius of the human magician, Yuri began to execute the plan he had prepared.

"Do it." He whispered to someone below the altar.

Then that person - Emily's mother, Mrs. Emil nodded in agreement.

"let's go!"

She raised her arms and shouted.

Among the large number of islanders who had originally surrounded the altar, a dozen people suddenly pushed the crowd around them and pulled out privately made weapons from their arms.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

"We've had enough! This kind of barbaric and backward festival should not exist!"

"You are plotting treason! You are even teaming up with people from outside the island... Are you trying to incur the wrath of the Lord Dragon God?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Don't move, step back and squat!"

The people who rioted were all residents who had lived on Dragon God Island for generations.

However, unlike other islanders who either worship or submit to the Dragon Temple, they have long been tired of the monthly ritual of human sacrifice.

Many of these people had lost their children to ritual sacrifices.

Emil is often assigned by the village chief to deal with conflicts in the village, so he knows very well who is dissatisfied with the "Red Festival".

These days, Emir contacted them secretly and agreed to overthrow the rule of the Dragon God Temple on this day.

They disguised themselves as people who came to worship, and waited for the order to resist.

At this point, they pulled out weapons hidden in their clothes and tried to subdue the other islanders.

What should have been a one-sided situation was reversed in an instant.

Although the ritualists outnumbered the others, they were overwhelmed in terms of momentum and were forced away from the altar.
