The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 248

TL: Zimmings

I rushed to Isaac and Henry.

“Kid, how did you…”

“My dad saved me from the Kuhelm tribe village. What happened to Henry?”

“He used up his mana because he was taking care of the barrier all day.”

Henry’s red veins reached his neck.

I hurriedly took out mana stone, which I took from the Kuhelm village.

Kuhelm’s mana stone was much better quality than ordinary ones.

If it was another mana stone, I would have to use about a thousand to restore my divine power, but with this, I only had about a hundred.

After restoring Henry through Kuhelm’s mana stone, I looked around.

“There are many students. Isaac, leave Henry to me and lead the students. Use monster subjugation formation. Each group must include a mage or a person with divine power.”

“They can’t defeat monsters.”

“No, they can do it.”

“Those monsters are stronger than you think.”

“Those monsters are not strong.”

“What?”

“The students got weaker. Didn’t you know it? We’ve faced this situation once.”

When Isaac looked confused, Henry looked at me and said,

“Nymph’s mountain…”

“Yes, the monsters are not as strong as we thought they are.”

A race (tribe) that worships devils as gods.

A powerful monster I’ve never seen before.

Areas where magic tools cannot be used.

It was what I went through in nymph’s mountain.

When Isaac shouted, “Right!” people’s eyes were on us. Henry covered his mouth and whispered to me in a small voice.

“At that time, I was able to use magic tools only with ‘permission’ from the nymphs, the owner of the mountain. Leblaine, how did you use the teleportation scroll?”

“Of course it’s because I got ‘permission’ from the owner of the mountain.”

As I laughed, Henry was confused.

Just then,

Kiik-!!

The sharp cry from the monster resounded.

I turned my back on the students and looked at the swarm of monsters.

“Let’s take care of these first.”

I said as I clenched the etwal in my pocket.

‘Boone.’

When I said his name, the phantom surrounding the students became stronger.

When the person with an X on his iron mask shouted, the phantom started stomping their feet.

As I stepped back, smoke flocked under the feet of the soldiers in front of me. And suddenly, horses appeared.

The phantom with an X on his mask was the first to get on the horse.

Smoke flocked to his hand once again and it became a sword this time.

The phantom quickly killed the monsters while screaming fiercely.

Boom!

In an instant, many monsters collapsed to the floor.

At that moment, a pillar of light rose next to me. And what appeared was…….

“Boone.”

His silver hair scattered by the wind.

Kneeling under my feet, he said,

“Please give us your command.”

Countless phantoms bent their knees toward me at the same time.

Is it because me and Boone are connected? I was excited. As if possessed by the devil, I shouted.

***

[Annihilate.]

The expressions of the people who looked at her hardened. Some in shock, admire, and fear.

Many emotions swirled through the conference room.

The monsters, who were no match for Elysiano Class, rolled around like fallen leaves when they were killed by those phantoms.

“Who said the first child of fate was worse than the second child?”

The chairman became silent at someone’s question. Some glanced at the cardinals. The cardinals said urgently.

“Well, that… I definitely sensed darkness.”

“Yes, darkness.”

Darkness was a secret hidden by the Neliard Church to the world. But the devil was revealed in front of those in power of each country.

Cardinal Rydalante held his forehead.

‘How did that get into the hands of that girl!’

Darkness was a gift from God to the human race, a thing that could not be used properly unless they have etwal.

Sometimes, darkness is called out in a vicious way like the former Duke Vallua, but they cannot control the power of darkness.

So what they need is the etwal stored in the temple.

‘Etwal is obviously owned by the Pope. So, why… !’

Do you mean there’s a second Etwal?

We only have the second one?

How?

The faces of the cardinals turned dark.

“Anyway, we have to bring the child to us.”

“Who are you talking about?”

Cardinal Blasio suddenly said.

It was Cardinal Blasio.

He was the man who nearly lost his authority as a punishment for losing the ‘passage’ he had obtained with difficulty the other day, but only managed to preserve his position thanks to Leblaine’s interpretation of the oracle.

Among the cardinals, he always took Leblaine’s side.

The other cardinals responded.

“Are you joking in this situation? It’s the first child.”

“Excuse me, everyone only takes care of the second child. Even though both of them were in Odis, didn’t you consistently contact only the second child?”

“Hey-!”

“Both the first and the second are children from the oracle. There’s not much difference in divine power, so you don’t know who the real one is. But the first child must have been so sad because she was so discriminated against.”

“…… They are someone whom God said will save the world. If she turned her back on the temple for such a trivial reason, what is the difference between an apostle and her?”

“Are you discriminating because the second child suits your taste better than the first child because she’s protected by Dubblede?”

“Stop it.”

“I had always preferred the first child, now that she does this, you’ll start fawning over her again?”

“Mr. Blasio!”

As the cardinals’ shouts rose, people began to furrow their brows.

Cecilia said, hitting the table.

“What’s all this fuss about in an emergency?”

The cardinals shut their mouths, and people watched the screen again.

A flock of monsters was wiped out shortly after, and Leblaine looked at the injured students.

The phantom moved quickly as the students were treated by Leblaine herself.

A student in a bandage asked Leblaine.

[When will the support come?]

[I sent the phantoms to them as well, so they’ll be here soon. Students in critical condition will be moved directly to school through teleportation scroll, followed by those who cannot move]

Just then, Andre, who was hiding in the corner, shouted.

[I’ll go first! Give it to me right now!]

[You can walk. Anyone who can walk will return when the support arrives.]

[Don’t say nonsense. Give it to me. You know who I am……!]

Leblaine looked straight at Andre.

[Senior.]

[…… What?]

[There are only seniors and juniors in Odis. Don’t you think so? Just walk back when you’re this energetic.]

[How dare you…!]

[Then should I go back?]

[Wh- what are you talking about?]

[I have to go back because I made you uncomfortable. Should I go back? I’ll leave you in a place full of monsters.]

Andre was speechless when Leblaine smiled.

He can’t survive on this mountain without her. If she was gone, they would soon fall into prey for a herd of monsters.

The students stared at Andre.

Those who were watching the situation through the screen glanced at Yvonne.

Yvonne would never have left the person who threatened his precious son but it was different this time. She smiled and looked at her principal.

“I will stay at Odis until Miss Dubblede returns.”

“… Pardon?”

“Shouldn’t I be grateful to her? I want to praise her, so please be considerate.”

“Ah… yes, I see.”

There was no one in this place who could not guess what Empress Yvonne wanted to do.

Leblaine would be reliable as an ally. But if she becomes an enemy…

‘They would be ruined.’

There is only one name that occupies the minds of those people now.

Leblaine Lisette Dubblede.

At that moment, many of those in power fell into Leblaine’s hands.

***

Ahhh!

When the students returned, they shouted as they ran to their parents and siblings’ arms who were waiting in front of the school gate.

“Oh my, Honghae My baby…!”

“Mother! Huwaa!”

“Sister! Sandra°”

“Fanny…”

While they were engulfed in the joy of reunion, she saw some familiar faces.

‘Cardinals?’

Well, they couldn’t help but come here because the students of many powerful families and Mina were in crisis.

When Mina saw fhem, she exclaimed happily.

All the freshmen who were kidnapped with me returned using carriages. This is because they were in much better condition than those who fell into the monster den.

The students, who were hugging their family,

looked at Mina and the cardinals.

Mina said with a smile.

“You guys are here. I’m fine… even if I wasn’t, I wanted to tell you something. I learned a lot from this battle-”

“Leblaine!”

The cardinals, who had never cared about me before, ran to me like dogs wagging their tails.

“I’m so proud of you…! I’m so greatly moved.”

“Is there any damage to your precious body? I’ve got all the healing priests on standby.”

I said with a smile.

“Who are you?”
