Chapter 274 - 156: Divine Power (2)

『I wouldn't say it's ideal. A devil would have no issue carrying a relic around, but they would feel an intense shock of divine power if they tried swinging one. No matter how strong they are, they've been tainted by evil now, so they can no longer handle divine power.』

「I see. I guess that means he couldn't just swing the relic around wildly. Though I appreciate the fact I don't have to worry about running into a devil swinging a relic wildly.」

Mira heaved a sigh of relief hearing the Spirit King.

「Still, now that I know how devils used to be, I feel hesitant to fight them again, as there might be a way to turn them back. I'll try to just render them unconscious if I ever run into one again. Though I would've been forced to go all out if I encountered one brandishing a relic.」

Mira grasped Tiriel's hand more firmly as she said that with a gentle voice. It was impossible for her to imagine it, but devils had once worked hand-in-hand with angels. Now that she knew of that, she could no longer see devils as the ultimate enemy of humanity. Not to mention that bringing up that would only make Tiriel more depressed.

「Mm, you're right. Maybe there's even a friend of Tiriel's out there somewhere.」

Kagura was of the same mind as well, and she held Tiriel's free hand. The angel had spent tens of thousands of years inside the coffin. An Angel's lifespan was infinite, so was a devil's. That meant it was possible that there were still devils that she had known once.

But so many devils had died during the Defense of the Three Gods' Countries that the chances of that happening were close to zero. But Kagura still wished the angel could smile again, and hoped for the best.

She looked like a young girl, but she was really thousands of years old. She slowly lifted her face and looked at Kagura and Mira, who had only lived for an insignificant fraction of the time she had. She realized they both cared deeply for her, so she thanked them and embraced the warmth of their hands.

After that the angel Tiriel would be taken to the Fifty Bells' headquarters. There she would help Kagura with anything in her power, while also re

「Uncle… uncle…」

Emera forgot about the chokehold she had Fricca in, and had exerted more force than planned. Mira pointed that out, and Emera hurried to let go of Fricca, who fell limp on the floor.

No one was close enough to hold her now, so she quickly raised her head and darted while keeping a low profile, jumping into Mira's bosom.

「Nguh!」

Mira had either kept her guard low, or Fricca's speed had gotten just so fast, but Mira was too late to evade and Fricca tackled her. From between the two, a small bottle fell down and rolled on the ground. It was an empty potion flask. Fricca had drank it while she was halfway collapsed, regaining her strength in an instant and dashed while everyone was distracted.

「I'll never let go of it! It's a matching set with Mira's after all!」

Fricca had been restrained for so long that now she was even more active than usual. Her wand was shorter than Mira's Anti-Demon Silver staff, but the design was similar. In a way, she was right, they were a matching set.

Some of the merchants turned around to see what the commotion was all about, but they all knew of Fricca's tendencies, so they merely gave Mira compassionate gazes and continued working as if nothing was happening.

「I didn't expect you to come with that timing…」

Fricca had managed to enjoy Mira's presence for long enough, so when Emera's backhanded chop finally landed, she collapsed with a blissful look in her eyes. Mira straightened her terribly crumpled clothes while forcing a smile, things always ended like that.

「Well, let's hope we meet again sometime, Mira.」

「Bye bye Mira! And… if you ever see Dovalin again, please ask for an autograph-」

「See you! Though I really feel like we'll end up running into each other soon enough.」

「Make sure to take care of yourself, missy. I know you're busy, but you should get proper rest too.」

「Awww Mira… We'll be away from each other again, but at least I have this to keep me company now!」

The merchants were ready so it was time for them to depart. Everyone said their goodbyes, and Fricca spoke with a sorrowful voice, which turned into a smile by the end as she lifted an item. It was not the matching wand with Mira's staff, but a single long strand of silver hair.

Somehow she had managed to snatch one of Mira's hairs while she was tackling her.

「You too, stay in good health.」

Mira shook her head a bit and then saw off Sero and the merchants.
