Invicinble Colorless Butler

Back when the Sacred Demonel bombed the Monarch Palace with thousands of spheres of black light, Azalia and her two subordinates quickly set up a barrier with their combined strength to withstand the attack. Lilith, Kyouka, and the other girls also help her.

Kalya and Clara used the artifact given by Ziel, while Kyouka and the other girls channeled their mana into the barrier.

"Ugh! We can't go on like this, miss! It's better to leave this place and the humans behind." Aghares gritted his teeth after feeling that the barrier they had created vibrated violently, and small cracks began to appear on its surface. He was reluctant to help Kalya and the other girls if not for Azalia's orders.

"That's right, Miss Azalia! We better get out of here right away. With that person's strength, he can at least hold off the guardian of the continent and give us enough time to get out of this kingdom's territory." Fornius agreed with Aghares' words. Even though he wanted to help Oillet, the matter was beyond his control. He would only die if he stayed in that place.

Kalya and the other girls' faces darkened after hearing those words. The girls weren't angry because the two wanted to leave them but because Fornius intended to use Ziel as a shield to buy time so they could escape. But before any of the girls could speak, someone's cold voice was heard first.

"Stop your complaining! This is the first and last time I have heard about it. If I hear that sentence again from you, don't blame me for being rude!" Azalia retorted. She has the same feeling as Kalya and the other girls. Azalia would have killed them if Fornius and Aghares weren't her subordinates.

Fornius and Aghares were taken aback by Azalia's extreme reaction to their words. They were confused about what made her so angry. This was the first time they had seen Azalia show such an expression.

"I…I understand, miss." Aghares broke out in cold sweat as he felt the slightest bit of killing intent from Azalia.

"I understand!" Fornius nodded repeatedly and didn't dare say a word after that. Azalia snorted coldly and no longer cared about them. Then Azalia turned her gaze to Kalya and wanted to say something, but a cracking sound caught her attention.

Crack!

Azalia's face sank when they saw the many cracks in the barrier protecting the Monarch Palace. On the other hand, Clara and the other girls panicked at the situation.

"What should we do!? The barrier doesn't look like it can last much longer!" Clara asked in a trembling voice.

"We must not disturb Ziel and make him lose concentration in the fight." Kalya said solemnly.

"You are right! We can't make him worry about our situation. We must prove that we are not a burden and can protect ourselves!" Princess Iris nodded in agreement and said with determination.

"Then show him your strength!" Azalia gritted her teeth and released more strength to defend the barrier. Kalya and the other girls also did the same that she did. But their efforts were in vain as the cracks grew more extensive due to the bombardment of thousands of black spheres, and the barrier was on the verge of collapse.

"Ziel…" Kalya muttered in a trembling voice when she saw the figure of a man flying towards the Monarch Palace at a terrifying speed under the onslaught of thousands of black spheres. He didn't seem to care about his body condition and kept breaking through the Sacred Demonel's attacks to get closer to their location.

"Ziel…" Kalya bit her lip until it bled and cried when she saw her fiancé's condition.

"Are we just going to be a burden to him?" Clara couldn't hold back the tears that welled up in her eyes. The same goes for Kyouka and the other girls. Azalia also tried to hold back the tears about to spill, but in the end, she couldn't do it. On the other hand, only Princess Cordelia gave a complicated face. She looks jealous of Kalya and the girls.

(He seems to care about the girls so much that he is willing to sacrifice and doesn't care about himself to protect them)

"Ugh!" Princess Cordelia suddenly felt a strange discomfort in her heart that she did not know the cause.

"What is he doing!?" Lilith wiped her tears and saw Ziel shrouding the Monarch Palace with aurora. But the girls quickly learned of Ziel's intentions.

"Stop it, Ziel! You don't have to do that! You need to focus on your fight! You don't have to think about us!" Kalya shouted. Her heart ached when he saw Ziel's condition. His face was pale as his current actions drained his strength. Moreover, Ziel was injured and lost a lot of blood.

Clara and the other girls also screamed, but Ziel ignored them and focused on what he was doing. Not long after, the fortress of the aurora was formed, and Ziel could finally concentrate on his battle.

Kalya and the girls blamed themselves as useless in such a situation and remained a burden to Ziel. The tears didn't stop flowing from their eyes because of their helplessness. Their feelings calmed down after seeing Ziel counterattack against the Sacred Demonel. But then the girls fell silent when Ziel was suddenly trapped in a pitch-black cube and disappeared from their sight.

"Eh? Where's Zel?" Kalya asked worriedly, and fear surged from the bottom of her heart.

Meanwhile, Clara and the other girls were silent and speechless because of their shock. It happened so fast after Ziel managed to counterattack. Their hearts shattered upon seeing Ziel suddenly disappear in the Sacred Demonel's attack. The girls were so filled with sorrow that they couldn't show any reaction.

"Ziel...where's Ziel?" Kalya muttered in fear and looked around, but she couldn't find Ziel's figure anywhere.

"Ziel… Ziel… where are you?" Kalya kept repeating the same question and subconsciously walked out of the Monarch Palace with empty eyes. When she was about to fly and get out of the barrier, Azalia quickly blocked her.

"What are you doing!? Don't you know that you'll be in danger if you go out like that!?" Azalia grabbed Kalya's arm and pulled her back before coming out of the barrier.

"Get out of my way! Did you not see it!? I have to find Ziel! I'm sure Ziel is somewhere right now. Once I find him, I will fight alongside him and won't let him fight that creature alone again!!" Kalya screams hysterically. Azalia was silent in response, but then she waved her hand and slapped Kalya.

Slap!

The sound of the slap was so loud even in such a situation. The atmosphere became silent, and no one dared to speak. Kalya was dumbfounded and touched the spot where Azalia slapped her cheek.

"I know how you feel right now because I feel it too! But now is not the time to grieve! Didn't you say you wanted to fight to the death with the guardian of the continent!? You'll only waste your life on that creature if you fight her in your state!" Azalia shouted back at Kalya with red eyes and tears streaming down her cheeks.

(What is this? What is going on? Is it possible that Miss Azalia fell in love with that human?)

Aghares looked at Azalia's reaction in confusion. This was the second time he had seen Azalia cry like this after she lost both her parents and her homeworld. Even when Azael died, Azalia wasn't this sad.

"But… but… Ziel… I have to find Ziel…" Kalya suddenly knelt because she had lost the strength in her legs to stand up. She covered her face with her hands and cried hysterically. Tears flowed from Kalya's eyes, and she felt she had lost something more important than her own life.

"Argh!" Kalya held her chest while crying after feeling the excruciating pain in her heart.

Kalya thought she could fight against the Sacred Demonel after Ziel was defeated and died. He did not expect the impact he felt was so significant. Kalya's heart was broken when she lost Ziel, and her determination to fight the Sacred Demonel disappeared, replaced with a feeling of deep sorrow in her heart. As Kalya and the other girls were drowning in their sorrow, the sound of the barrier being shattered and grisly laughter rang out in their ears.

Clank!

"Hahaha… the most troublesome irregular in this place I've killed. Now it's time for me to eliminate the remaining irregulars. I don't want to waste time fighting you one by one. Therefore, all of you die at once." The Sacred Demonel raised her left hand, and a giant black sphere appeared in the sky. It is much larger than the asteroid Ziel dropped.

"What should we do, Miss Azalia!? It looks like she intends to eradicate all of us with that attack! We have to get out of here immediately!" Aghares trembled, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. he felt the immense destructive power of the black sphere.

(Oillet, are you going to exterminate me too just because the guardian of the continent has possessed you!)

Fornius clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails pierced his skin and bled.

Meanwhile, Kalya and the other girls didn't show any sign that they wanted to escape from that place. Apart from losing their zest for life, the girls knew they could neither dodge nor resist the Sacred Demonel's attacks.

"We have to fight her! I know we won't be able to win, but that's the only thing we can do right now! I don't want to die without a struggle, and she will have to pay a heavy price for killing someone I love!" Azalia wiped the tears on her cheeks, and her face turned serious. She had subconsciously confessed her feelings but didn't care about it.

Azalia released all her remaining strength and intended to fight to the death against the Sacred Demonel. She planned to sneak in when the Sacred Demonel unleashed her attack and would blow herself up to take the Sacred Demonel to death with her.

Aghares and Fornius' faces were tense, while Azalia's face was full of determination. On the other hand, the faces of Kalya and the other girls were full of sorrow and resigned to their fate.

"Hahaha... since you've resigned yourself to your fate, then die... eh?" The Sacred Demonel intended to swing her arms and drop a giant black sphere at Azalia and the others. But suddenly, she felt pain as a pair of swords pierced her chest from behind. The Sacred Demonel slowly looked back, and she was dumbfounded.

"You…how could you…" The Sacred Demonel saw Ziel covered in blood and thrusting his sword at her.

"I bet using my own life to land this attack on you while you're off guard…cough!" Ziel said in a weak voice and suddenly coughed up blood.

When Ziel was about to be swallowed up by the Sacred Demonel's attack, he swung his white sword and opened a void. Then he entered the space rift.

In other words, Ziel attacked himself using the white sword skill 'Space Banishment'. Ziel had to go through a terrible space storm and was torn apart in a state of exhaustion to return to the Clorius continent. He had already adjusted the coordinates to return to that world. After Ziel returned, he completely dispelled his presence and waited for an opportunity to attack the Sacred Demonel when she was caught off guard.

"Ziel!"

"Ken!"

Ziel could hear the voices of Kalya, Clara, and the other girls calling out to him, but he ignored them as he didn't have time to greet each other.

"Do you think you can kill me with just an attack like this?" The Sacred Demonel grinned fearlessly and tried to move her body. But her face sank after knowing her body couldn't move an inch.

"Of course, I know I won't be able to kill you with this attack. But my next attack will be able to wipe you out completely." Ziel gritted his teeth to squeeze out the last bit of strength in his body and thrust his swords deeper into the Sacred Demonel. He heard a pained groan from the Sacred Demonel, but he ignored it.

Ziel activated another skill he secretly made for the finishing blow on his enemy. He had to get close to the Sacred Demonel because he had to act as an intermediary to use the skill and ensure up close that the Sacred Demonel completely disappeared down to the tiniest cell. Therefore, apart from activating his new skill, Ziel also used the innate abilities of his swords.

The clouds grew darker, and the roar of thunder was deafening. Red lightning flashed like a dragon descending into the world. Not a thousand or ten thousand, but millions of lightning bolts struck Ziel and condensed on his body. Ziel compressed the millions of red lightning in his body until it became a ball of energy that enveloped him, and then he exploded.

"You… what are you doing!?" Sacred Demonel said in a voice trembling with fear. Ziel didn't reply and just muttered in a weak voice.

[Holocaust Thunder Core]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

The red energy ball with Ziel as its center exploded and swallowed the Sacred Demonel. She didn't even have time to scream because Ziel's attack engulfed her instantly. A terrifying thunderstorm accompanied the explosion, and its range was vast. The Animaria city and its surroundings, which spanned hundreds of thousands of kilometers, were submerged in crimson light.
