Chapter 12: The Dark Lord’s Agenda

I can’t believe I am having such a hard time squashing this fly… Nako looked down at her torn clothing and badly injured body and irritably bit her lower lip. She pressed her right hand to her aching left shoulder, and her palm came away sticky with bright-red blood.

She had been careless. Johann may have been Ivan Clarence’s descendant, but she never imagined a mere human child could land a hit on her, much less injure her. So she foolishly believed she could toy with him without getting serious.

How could I have known it would be an even fight?

Nako glared at Johann lying face down near the opposite wall. Rather than cower from a head-on fight against the Lunar Goddess, he boldly struck her down with mighty attack spells. Attack spells not usually in a Priest’s wheelhouse.

Squishy humans normally wet their pants in fear of merely standing before a goddess. Fear should’ve consumed him and wracked his body with the shakes.

Enemies that they were, she still respected his stouthearted bravery that lacked a healthy modicum of fear.

But using the Holy Spear had taken a great toll on his fragile human body.

Johann’s magic hit zero before hers did after a long, drawn out battle of throwing spells at each other. And still, he didn’t give up. He stopped using his spear as a magic conduit and charged at her with it as a physical weapon—and she had used that opening to pound him down with a lethal ballistic spell that dealt a fatal blow.

Shockwaves had blown him into the wall protected by his barrier, the impact knocking the Holy Spear from his grasp and the air from his lungs. He dropped to the floor unconscious. The winner had been decided.

Nako’s eyes lingered on Johann lying lifelessly next to the wall with his head slightly angled toward her. His eyes were shut as he gasped for air. Soot and blood dirtied his beautifully white vestments, and blood dribbled from his partially agape mouth.

She tottered over to him, her legs unsteady with the damage he had inflicted on her, and crouched at the unconscious boy’s side. …So this boy is Ivan Clarence’s spawn, eh?

Well-acquainted with the Sanctuary’s founder back in the day, the Lunar Goddess couldn’t help but recall those Creation Era days when she looked at Johann. Those days of peace before the world’s Creation Energy went out of whack were her prized memories.

Were it possible, she would happily give up everything to return to that time. However, once something is lost it can never again take on the same shape. Those irreplaceable days and the man who had loved her would never again be hers.

That was the reason why. Why she couldn’t leave the world he loved in this despicable state.

By annihilating this haywire world with her own hands, she would be protecting his dreams. She believed that was the only way she could atone for what she did.

Nako scooped Johann’s silver hair into her bruised hand.
