Evidently, the threat worked, as Rosé and Ferre flinched and cowered.
Holding hands as tears spilled profusely down their cheeks, they looked at Belzebuth.
And with a single nod, as if granting permission, he let them go.
The moment they were released, Rosé and Ferre slowly turned and began walking in the opposite direction from him.
Simultaneously, Sera, dressed in white, also began walking towards them, matching the twins’ pace.
“Seraaaa!”
“Seraaaa! Uwahhh…”
Holding back their desire to run, Rosé and Ferre forced themselves to walk slowly.
In the silence where no one else spoke, the children’s calls for Sera echoed like a reverberation.
As the distance between the three narrowed, the cries of the children calling for Sera grew louder.
And the moment they directly faced Sera, the children stopped crying and moving.
Sera quickly embraced them.
“Quietly, walk slowly.”
Belzebuth watched closely to make sure Sera didn’t try anything foolish.
He was ready to take the children’s lives the moment they showed any sign of siding with them.
“Send them now.”
With a low voice urging them on, Sera, bowing her head deeper, nodded in agreement.
After separating the twins from herself, Sera turned the children towards Helios.
With a gentle push, the twins began to run.
“Hyung!”
“Oppa!”
“Rosé! Ferre!”
Helios wrapped the running twins in a tight embrace.
Although Sera had not yet reached his grasp, allowing the twins to run was merely because he, too, had another plan in mind.
“Watch.”
Belzebuth shouted loudly, thinking the time was right, and raised his hand high.
The moment all the mages and knights surrounding him turned to face Sera was that moment.
Belzebuth smiled wickedly. He had realized something during the founding festival.
He could not kill Sera.
Once again, when it came to killing her as a defensive mechanism, it was troublesome that Sera might absorb him instead.
Thus, he had no choice but to use someone else to kill her.
Although he preferred to handle things with his own hands, in this case, it was inevitable.
He would manipulate people using his curse, and Sera would meet her end by someone else’s magic.
‘It might even make for a more spectacular game.’
Belzebuth flicked his wrist with a gleeful smile.
At that moment, a barrage of attacks from mages and knights began to pour down on Sera like a torrential rain.
All sorts of magical attacks arced towards Sera.
With so many attacks coming her way, there was no chance she could survive without the ability to use magic.
She would vanish into dust.
However, what happened next made Belzebuth’s eyes widen in shock.
BOOM!
Sera deflected the attacks with magic.
‘What is this! She clearly shouldn’t be able to use magic!’
Belzebuth raised his hand to halt the attacks. The smoke from the magic obscured his view of Sera.
As the smoke cleared, he bit his lip in frustration.
Instead of Sera with her black hair, another woman with auburn hair fluttering stood in her place, holding a wig with black hair attached to a veil.
“Now!”
Araella shouted.
One of the many mages standing behind Belzebuth started to charge at the signal.
‘My curse doesn’t affect them…’
Belzebuth turned around belatedly.
There, a human rushed towards him. As that human’s hat fell off, it revealed the hidden black hair underneath.
It was Sera Popo.
Sera ran with all her might. There was only one chance.
She drew the relic-decorated sword she had carefully hidden and raised it high.
Then, without hesitation, she thrust the relic into where Belzebuth’s heart was.
“AAAGH!”
Screaming in agony, Belzebuth began to be absorbed into Sera’s body.
Unwilling to be sealed easily, the attacks previously aimed at Araella now began to target the real Sera.
However, Roward, Araella, and other mages started to protect Sera from these attacks.
“From the beginning…”
Belzebuth gritted his teeth at Sera with eyes flashing blood-red.
“Yes. It was the plan from the beginning.”
Sera pushed the relic in further.
It was Helios’s plan from the start, from the moment her body reflexively absorbed Saruvia, knowing Belzebuth would not kill her directly.
The mages surrounding Sera now began chanting spells to seal the demon.
“No!”
Belzebuth screamed, but he was already significantly absorbed into Sera’s body.
Proof of this was Sera’s hands and arms, which were turning black with the curse.
Sera felt the demon rising within her, a pain far more intense than before accompanied by a damp, dank energy dragging her down.
It felt like sinking into a dark swamp.
Coughing up black blood, Belzebuth collapsed onto Sera’s shoulder. Sera also began to lose her strength, unable to stand any longer.
Her legs gave out, and she felt close to losing consciousness.
“Sera!”
Helios’s voice was heard from a distance.
A number of priests, too many to count accurately, were running behind him.
“…Heli?”
With that, Sera collapsed.
