Chapter 2, Episode 39: Rapid Thinking

I did it.

Volte, a former subordinate of Grasil, smiled.
After confirming that Farne had been stabbed, he fled the room.
By now, Lars and Farne must have turned into ghouls.
The new priest turned into a ghoul after taking the medicine given to him by that man Alberto, and he must be attacking the priests who are performing the ritual right now.
This is revenge for Grasil-sama. You should all die.
And along with the holy tree that made a laughingstock of Grasil-sama, all of humanity should be destroyed.

At that moment, while Volte grinned.

Kyle and Ivan stood in front of the man.

"You are the criminal who poisoned him."

"Haha!! It's too late now!!
Lars must be turning into a ghoul by now!!
Even with a saint around, humans who have become ghouls cannot be saved!!
You guys are going to die too……"

"Who became a ghoul? Let's have you explain. "

It was Lars who appeared, followed by a silver wolf, Farne, who should have been pierced by a ghoul, and a giant bear with a girl standing behind it.

『Come on, let's dig into your brain and find out who told you to do this.』

The silver wolf bared her fangs and smiled maliciously.

『I never expected that separating the soul, destroying only the ghoul tissue, and then restoring the body with Eldia's blessing would work.』

After tying up Volte and peeking into his memories, Cyril sighed calmly in another room.

"You could say that I was saved because my soul hadn't fully attached to my body yet."

Farne smiled wryly as he stroked Riese's head, who was clinging to him.

"Farne-sama."

"I am sorry for causing you worry. Riese."

"Farne-sama, Farne-sama, Farne-sama!!”

Riese hugged Farne tightly as she clung to him.
Before his soul was consumed, he removed the ring of Eldia given to him by Cyril, separating his soul from his body. It was Farne who suggested destroying his body to remove the forbidden spell, then using the power of the Saint to restore him to his original body.

『I never imagined you would take advantage of the difference between the regenerative power of the forbidden spell and the regenerative power of the holy tree's protection……』

Cyril let out a big sigh.
He never imagined that the fact that his body and soul had once been separated would prove so useful here.
The fact that the soul and body were not perfectly attuned prevented the soul from degenerating into a ghoul.
It may have been fortunate that his body and soul did not recover completely when he died in the Forest of Eldia. Seeing Farne stroking Riese's head and saying, “Good girl, good girl,” Cyril thought to herself.
I have to reevaluate Farne a little.
He seems to be more than just a nice guy.

『Anyway, it seems like it's not over yet.
The smell of forbidden spells is getting stronger throughout the city.
Let's go finish it off. Riese. Libelle.
Don't let your guard down and release your body's barrier, okay?
Even a saint will turn into a ghoul if she receives damage.
The priest survived because his soul and body had not yet settled after being separated in the past.
That may not work for us.
Under no circumstances should the barrier be removed.』

『Finish it! Finish it!! Let's defeat the ghouls!! 』

『Libelle and Riese stick together!! 』

When Cyril said that, Riese hugged Farne tightly.

『Also, bring the priest along.
All right? I'll set up a barrier on the priest, so you focus on your own barrier.』
With that added, Riese nodded happily.

『There's a place with a strong smell of a forbidden spell! We're going there! 』

"Got it!!!” 『Beat them! Beat them! Beat them!! Mom's revenge!! 』

"Protect the temple! Dai! Remu! Koron!”

After Riese scattered the seeds of the holy tree and shouted, three giant tree spirits named Dai, Remu, and Koron appeared outside the temple.

"Please take care of this place, guys!”

Dai, Remu, and Koron replied to Riese's words with a “kyu-kyu” sound.
