The sky of the Belfast Royal Capital was filled with a low-level magic formation Fireball.

The shape of the magic formation was not much different from most Fireball spells often used by wizard or witch.

It’s just that...

The unusual number of Fireball Spells caused some panic among people who didn’t know what had happened at the gate of the Belfast Royal Capital.

Blupp... Bluupp...

Puuupp...

I could see the sin-eating slime that was already helpless when its main slime body was stuck in the gate and several large holes that I had created using the Purification Fireball.

"For a giant slime, you are much tougher than what I have ever fought. Compared to fighting a wolf that has been contaminated by negative energy corruption, you are much more tiring because you are running and I almost got left behind by you," I said while infusing my magic energy into the magic staff in my hand.

"Well, I don’t put that into the depths of my heart. However, your words that want to kill me through the mouth of a little boy. Should I say thanks to you because it made me not hesitate to kill you?"

Above the bright blue sky and the scorching sunlight that felt hot in the afternoon party, I could see rows of Fireball magic formations that had formed perfectly in the sky.

My magic energy slowly seemed to be drained until my body felt heavy again. Even to move the magic staff that had adjusted its size to my body, it still felt very heavy.

"Fireball!!"

With one quick incantation, hundreds of basic-level Fireball magic began to fly towards the sin-eating slime.

Baaaammm!!

Kaboom!!

Baaammm!!

Kaboom!!

The sound of explosions that were heard regularly made my ears ring and my eyes were filled with thick smoke from the burning carried out by the basic level Fireball magic.

In this continues attacks, I could understand that slimes have low resistance to fire but this sin-eating slime seemed to be much more resistant to fire before I scraped off its outer layer filled with disgusting lumps.

Blluuppp...

Pluuppp...

Pyaaarr...

"Guhu!!" I gritted my teeth to hold the heavy weight of my body that was struggling to stand.

Using the magic staff I was holding, I leaned my body on the magic staff and looked in front of me carefully. The magic attack I launched seemed to have hit the body of the sin-eating slime and slowly eroded its slime body until it evaporated like water exposed to hot coals.

"Did it work?" said one of the adventurer parties behind my body.

[ Oh no, the sacred words were spoken! ]

[ Lily-chan, get ready for the second phase attack! ]

"Second phase attack?" I said while imitating the words of my Goddess.

[ Lily-chan, this is a valuable lesson for you. ]

[ If you fight a monster or something difficult to defeat normally. ]

[ Don’t ever say it... does it work? ]

[ Those are sacred words that will make things even more chaotic than before! ]

I can hear that my Goddess is in high spirits today.

A sacred word that I shouldn’t say?

What’s wrong with those words?

"PUIYAAA!!"

Before I realized the meaning of those sacred words, I could hear a scream coming from the sin-eating slime.

[ That’s why those are sacred words that shouldn’t be said before successfully killing it. ]

Now I understand the meaning of the sacred words spoken by the Goddess.

The gate of the Aurora Kingdom’s capital city which was surrounded by thick walls filled with high-level defense magic suddenly cracked and showed a straight line of cracks that spread rapidly.

Kraaakkk...

Pttaakkk...

As the crack grew larger, I could see several rows of high-level defensive magic formations suddenly breaking as if they had been roughly smashed to pieces.

The body of the sin-eating slime that was filled with pitch black grew larger and several parts of its body formed something oval that writhed.

[ If there is even one tentacle that touches Lily-chan. ]

[ I will personally descend to the world and take that slime to the torture chamber of the Goddess of Justice! ]

I could hear that my Goddess was annoyed and used a high tone to the sin-eating slime.

The shape of its body suddenly changed and based on what the Goddess said, it was a tentacle of the sin-eating slime. Its oval, long, and flexible shape made my body tremble with disgust.

Brrzztt...

What is this?

Why is my body telling me that thing is so disgusting?

Should I keep a safe distance before attacking it?

My body gave me a bad sign about the appearance of the disgusting black tentacle.

"Hiyyaaa!! Feel this!!"

Bammm...

Pannngg...

"Take this attack!!"

Piinngg...

Tanngg,,,

"Damn it! This is useless at all!"

My attention which was diverted by the appearance of the tentacle suddenly shifted to the line of male adventurers who were trying to attack the black tentacle.

Their attack seemed like it would work but it was thwarted because the weapons they were using melted quickly after being exposed to the disgusting slime liquid from the sin-eating slime.

"Didn’t they learn from what happened to the weapons of the soldiers guarding the gates of the Royal Capital of Belfast?" I commented with a sneer at the wailing adventurers who were crying over their melted weapons.

In addition to its changed form, the sin-eating slime seemed to still maintain its body shape filled with negative energy that drastically reduced one’s physical and magical abilities.

The continuous shots from my Fireball magic formation did not give it any injuries at all. I only added physical injuries that hurt the slime and the slime repeatedly repaired itself using its magical energy.

If I did that useless attack more, I would only waste my magical energy without making any progress.

One of the methods that had the highest attack rate was the Purification Fireball which I had successfully developed before. But to do that, at least it took quite a lot of time to prepare the magic formation.

The quick invocation of the Purification Fireball was very complicated and I couldn’t make a magic formation of that level of complexity too quickly.

At least, I needed a few seconds to prepare the Purification Fireball magic formation before it was directed at the body of the sin-eating slime.

"Onee-samaaaa!!"

"Lily-neee!!"

"Onee-saaan!!"

In my confusion that wanted to cast the magic spell of Purification Fireball, I was surprised by the shout of a familiar figure.

The familiar voice came from above my body that seemed to fly from the sky.

I immediately looked up and saw my twin step-sister falling with the holy little girl from the Aurora Goddess Shrine.

"What are you girls doing here?" I muttered with a small breath after seeing the three familiar figures falling towards me.

"Zoe, can you help them?" I said to Zoe who had been silent behind my hair.

"Should I help them? Wouldn’t it be better if Master helped them down? If Master did it, it would look very romantic and cool, you know…" replied Zoe who didn’t seem to want to leave the back of my hair.

"Why should I help them? Isn’t your magic more suitable for dampening those who are falling down?"

"That’s true but… has Master ever dreamed about a Princess who fell from a height and was suddenly helped by the Prince until she fell into his arms?"

I felt disgusted for a moment when I imagined that.

"That’s so disgusting, Zoe."

"Oh! Forgive me, Master. It was just an imagination. Zeta and Zara once talked about their Master’s hidden dream of wanting to fall from a height but being caught in their older sister’s arms."

"Alice and Alyssa have ever dreamed of something like that?" I asked with a tilt of my head.

"Yes, Zeta and Zara said so themselves. I can guarantee that they are not lying."

"Ugh…" when I saw Alice, Alyssa, and Hana falling closer to the ground, I immediately hooked my magic staff to my katana’s sheath and used Sakura Dash and Sakura Vanish to support their falling bodies.

The sight before my eyes felt very fast and dizzy but I had to endure it so that they would not feel the excruciating pain when they fell.

The Sakura Dash I used was aimed at Hana who had a short stature compared to my twin step-sister, so I prioritized her first.

With a zigzag movement that jumped over the walls of the house using Sakura Dash, I grabbed Hana’s collar which looked like a holy robe, and pushed it onto my back.

"Hold on to my back tightly, Hana!" I shouted as I fell as I positioned my body in front of Hana who was falling.

Pwwiisshhh...

Hana who was panicking because she fell was surprised by my presence and immediately hugged my body from behind, Hana’s position was right in my back carrier, and looked tight as if she was scared.

"Everything will be okay, Hana!" I shouted from a height to calm Hana down.

Swiisshhh...

Using Sakura Dash again, now I positioned my body on Alice who was screaming non-stop.

"No! Why did this teleportation spell put us at a height instead of on the ground? I should have read the instructions for this magic until the end before using it... help me... Mama!! Onee-samaaaa!!" shouted Alice who closed her eyes when she fell from a height.

I immediately grabbed Alice’s arm who was falling and pulled her to hug my right arm and immediately glanced at Alyssa who fell in silence without a sound with her eyes closed.

"Sob... even though I wanted to be with Lily-nee longer, why did I die so quickly at a young age like this?" muttered Alyssa who was lamenting herself to prepare to die from falling.

I immediately pulled Alyssa’s arm and supported her body which was falling in the arms of my left arm.

Swiisshh...

Wiirrllsss...

I immediately used Sakura Domain and created a tall pile of cherry blossom petals with an estimated base that could support the weight of our bodies falling from a height.

Buuukkkk...

Wuusshhh...

The sensation of falling from a height on a pile of cherry blossom petals felt so soft and calming, the aroma of the cherry blossom petals that felt fragrant and relaxing made me a little sleepy after falling.

"Are you girls okay?" I asked as I walked out of the soaring pile of cherry blossom petals.

"Hauuu... Onee-samaaaa..."

"Hiks... Lily-nee..."

"Onee-san... I’m afraid of falling from a height..."

When I managed to step out of the soaring pile of cherry blossom petals, I could see Hana hugging my back so tightly, Alice hugging my arm tightly with her trembling body, and Alyssa who was sobbing.

Ugh, doesn’t it feel so weird when I managed to save them after falling from a height?

"I won’t study the magic book by skipping important technical explanations again!" Alice exclaimed who slowly recovered from her fear.

"Alice! This is your fault!" Alyssa grumbled slowly finished crying.

"You girls shouldn’t just invite me to such dangerous actions!" Hana grumbled and started to release her hug from my back.

Seeing them getting along like this, I almost ignored the sin-eating slime which seemed to have increased the number of its tentacles by several parts.

"Are you girls ready to fight that disgusting slime?" I said to my twin step-sister and Hana while taking out the magic staff that was held back by the strap of my katana sheath.

Pomm...

Crack...

The magic staff resonated again and emitted the remaining holy energy.

Right beside me, Alice, Alyssa, and Hana took out their small magic wands to fight back.

[ Four little kids fighting tentacles, somehow this will be my least favorite genre! ]

Ignoring the comments made by the Goddess, I prepared to fight the sin-eating slime that had entered disgusting form.
