"I want to eat meat every day and not gain weight. Is it achievable? Julia said abruptly.

"Don't be fooled!"

"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Julia nodded and apologized to Edward, then regrouped into battle.

"Tell me how you will fulfill our wishes." Kanna seemed thoughtful.

"It's simple. Just tell me your wishes and sign a contract with me......"

"When the contract is done, we forget about signing it. But our wishes will come true at some level. The price is that when we die, our souls will be yours. Right? ”

"Oh? The little girl is very knowledgeable. ”

"Show up! Demon! ”

"Kahehehe~"

Accompanied by disgusting laughter. An ugly figure emerges out of thin air from the shadows of the room. He has red skin, long, pointed fangs, curly sheep's horns, and a pair of bat-like wings.

"You don't look like fools, you don't look like fools. Wishes can be granted, and they will not die here. Isn't this option tempting? ”

"Shut up, devil! If I die today, my soul will sleep peacefully at the feet of the God of the Harvest, and it will not be in your hands! ”

"I can't see that your faith is so strong." Edward looked at Julia with an admiring look.

"Nonsense." Kanna laughed, "Who said we would die in battle." Let's talk about death at another date. Up! ”

Kanna ran towards the demon. Edward and Garcia used [Charge] on the demon and reached the demon before Kanna. He was about to use his weapon to attack the demon's head. The demon suddenly lost figure, emerged from the other side of the room, and began chanting spells. Two seconds later, a fireball flew out of the demon's right hand and blasted into the crowd. Kanna uses Charge to dodge the fireball and reach the demon with a sword swing to slash. The demon leapt to its feet, flapping its wings and hanging in the air. The fireball exploded around Edward, and the corner of the room was engulfed in flames. Edward and Garcia ran out of the flames, rolling to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

"This is no ordinary fireball technique, it's hellfire. No combustibles are required, and the mana will continue to burn until the emitted mana is exhausted. Fight quickly before the entire room turns into a sea of fire! Kanna shouted to her teammates.

"Understood!"

Edward grabbed his right wrist with his left hand and threw Garcia up as he jumped up. The room is about 5 meters high. Garcia, who flew up, quickly reached the demon and struck down with a hammer.

"Naive."

The demon deftly dodged the blow and chanted a spell at Edward. Suddenly, a sword light flashed, and Kanna threw her two-handed sword to cut off the demon's left wing. The demon fell, and some spell that had been prepared in advance on its body was activated.

Julia ran to the center of the room and began to chant the third-order magic [Crowd Protection from Evil Creatures]. This spell reduces the damage dealt by evil creatures, and has a significant effect on evil creatures such as demons, dragons, and undead who are spurned by the gods.

The demon who had fallen to the ground had just rolled over and stood up. The three warriors ran to the demon's side, picked up their weapons and slammed it into the demon's head. The weapon was bounced off by an invisible force.

"You're looking for death!"

The demon roared, and a circle of fire spread around him, knocking everyone away. Due to the effect of the magic of protecting against evil creatures, the damage taken by the three of them has been reduced a lot. Julia hurriedly cast a first-order magic [Primary Body Healing] to heal her teammates. In order to cooperate with Julia's magic that can only be performed in close quarters, everyone gathered together to regroup their postures.

"When you fell just now, the total damage you took before and after reached the threshold, triggering the [Accident Technique]. The spells bound to [Accident] are [Defense: Barrier] and [Shield: Rock Skin], right? [Defense: Barrier] is only immune to weapon damage for up to 10 seconds. [Rock Skin] blocks up to 10 physical damages. When the effect of your barrier disappears, I can slash you 11 more times. Kanna, who was being treated by Julia, smiled. Obviously, this is also a response explanation for peers.

"Until then, enough to kill you!"

The demon stretched out his left hand and pointed it at the crowd. Three warriors ran towards the demon. Suddenly, a strange spell fluctuation exploded at the feet of the three people. The three of them were stunned, but this strange magic did not cause any damage. Then, a second shot of magic followed.

"Not good! You can't withstand this spell a few times, hurry up and avoid it, I'll fight him alone! ”

"But ......"

"Trust me!"

After years of understanding, Edward and Garcia realized that this was not a trivial matter, and immediately obeyed Canna's arrangement and retreated to Julia's place to stand by. At the same time, Julia had already cast a second-order divine spell [Primary Acceleration Technique] on Kanna from a distance. This spell increases the attack, movement, and chanting speed of the recipient for a short period of time. Not knowing the effect of the enemy's spells, Julia did not dare to waste the number of spells cast and mana. At this time, I could only look at Kanna from a distance and cheer silently.

The demon's strange spell slammed at Kanna, who slashed at the demon. When Kanna slashed out the sixth sword, she had already taken a few spells.

"This can't be, why aren't you dead yet? …… I'm fighting with you! ”

The demon has lost his mind and stands frantically against Kanna. Strange spells bombarded Kanna countless times, but Kanna was unmoved.

Eleventh sword.

Kanna cleaved the demon's chest. The demon fell in response.

"Fake, right...... Your charisma attributes...... How tall the hell is ......" muttered the last sentence, and the demon died.

Kanna sat on the ground, a little tired because of the after-effects of the end of the [Primary Acceleration Technique]. Teammates immediately surrounded him.

"Kanna. What are you...... Unscathed? Julia, who was about to cast a healing spell, noticed that something was wrong.

"What kind of spell did he put in it? Why can't we take it and you're unscathed? "Edward was very confused.

"He's using a high-level demonic spell that greatly reduces one of his enemies' main attributes: charisma with each cast. Any creature has six main attributes: Strength, Agility, Constitution, Intelligence, Spirit, and Charisma. When any of the primary stats are reduced below 0, the creature will actually die, i.e., a non-resurrectable death. Normal magic or magic can also reduce certain enemy stats for a short period of time, but it is never possible to stack or take effect permanently. This kind of dark magic, which can essentially permanently change the attributes of enemies, only exists in the realm of demonic spells. Those corpses in the corner must be so ugly and distorted because the charm attribute was reduced to a negative number. It's terrifying to see this kind of spell for the first time...... It's so wicked......"

Hearing Canna's explanation, everyone was shocked, but they were quickly pulled back by Canna's next words.

"It stands to reason that the 'God' of faith is dead. Its priests will be aware that going out should be a vicious fight. This place should not be stayed for long. Let's go. ”

After the demon died, the enchantment magic at the entrance also disappeared. Kanna and the others returned the same way, cautiously. Before reaching the hall, Kanna poked her head out to investigate, and found that everything in the hall was as before, and nothing unusual happened.

"False gods are false gods, all dead, but none of the believers find out." Kanna sighed.

"Haha, there was a false alarm, my hand holding the sword was sweating." Edward laughed.

"Whew...... It scared the hell out of me......" Julia breathed a sigh of relief.

The four of them walked generously towards the door.

"Leaving so soon?" The guard asked.

"We have received the oracle of the true God and are ready to bring more believers back."

"Good work. I'll send you out. ”

All the way up, soon see the light of day.

"Kanna, what's next?" Edward asked.

"None of our business then. As a princess, I will go to the lord of the land, Lord Warhammer, and ask him to send someone to eradicate the cult and teach the deceived believers to return to the right path. In addition, it is almost impossible for demons to break through the Hell Barrier and come to our plane on their own. It is said that in 2009, a portal to hell appeared in the Raging Forest. Even so, there are very few demons that can come to our plane through portals. The demon just now must have been summoned through complex black magic. I'll also have the Duke of Warhammer investigate the possible conspiracy behind this. If there are any clues, we will continue to follow up on the matter. ”

"The demons here are dead. Can the souls of those poor people who have made a pact with the devil be saved? Julia gave a worried look in her eyes.

"No, you can't. From the moment they signed a pact with the demon, it was useless to do anything to remedy it. The demon is alive, and when they die, their soul goes to that demon. When demons die, their souls go straight to hell when they die. ”

"Excessive...... It's too much......" Julia clenched the scepter in her hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

Kanna hugged Julia and gently patted her on the back.

"Our flower expedition team will fight evil to the end."

"Hmmm......"

Before leaving, Kanna turned her face sideways and said, "Garcia, why don't you go home and join me to meet your eldest brother?" ”

Garcia said in a panic: "No, no, no." When he learned that I was accompanying you on an adventure, I was going to be scolded again. ”

Swan City and all lands north of the Swan River are the domain of Duke Warhammer.

Before the founding of the kingdom, the kingdom of Meredes was attacked by the kingdom of Uroli Brulandsland. This war is known in history as the Great Patriotic War of Meredes. After the founding of the country, the first king William Augustus conferred the title of dukes on the four most outstanding warriors, and named them after the most skilled weapons, namely "Duke of Greatsword", "Duke of Shield", "Duke of Warhammer", and "Duke of Spear", known as the four founding warriors of the Kingdom of Meredis.

The Duke of Warhammer is a hereditary title of the patriarch of the Richard family. The modern-day Duke of Warhammer is the brother of García Richard. The mansion is located in Swan City.

After coming out of the Duke's palace, Canna joined her companions and prepared to return to the hotel to rest. Suddenly he noticed something, looked at the faces of Edward and Garcia, and smiled so hard that he couldn't stand up straight. He asked Julia for a small mirror that he carried with him and handed it to them.

Edward took the mirror and asked, "Why do you go out on an adventure and carry a useless thing like a small mirror with you?" ”

Julia blushed and didn't say anything, and Kanna replied for her, "How can a girl go out and not carry a small mirror with her?" ”

Edward said he couldn't understand it, so he said no more.

After looking in the mirror. Edward pouted in displeasure, and Garcia covered his face tightly with his hands.

"Hahahaha. See, you two are so ugly. Hahahaha~"

Julia stroked the side of her face with one hand and sighed.

"Whew...... It's good I didn't fall for this spell......" Suddenly I remembered something, "Ah! Wrong! What are they going to do? ”

"It's okay, it's okay. This kind of spell that permanently changes attributes can be restored by simply asking the priest to cast a [Advanced Restoration Technique]. ”

"[Advanced Restoration]? This divine skill level is too high, it's an eighth-order! Even if I reach the upper limit of my level, I will not be able to successfully perform this level of magic! ”

In the world of Xenowo, the magic used by the clergy is the same as the magic used by the magician, and they are both spells. All by chanting mantras to extract abilities from special energy spaces. The difference is that magic is realized by the magical energy space constructed by Profound, the original god of magic. Divine art is realized by the unique energy space constructed by the gods believed in by the priests. Magic can be learned as long as the mage's ability is sufficient, and it belongs to the magician's own power. Divine arts, on the other hand, must be given by the gods of faith, and cannot be chosen by the subjective preferences of the clergy, and belong to the power of the gods. The energy space used by demonic spells is constructed by the Hell Lord, and everything else is no different from magic. The spells that can be used by mortals are divided from weak to strong, from 1st to 10th. Under normal circumstances, class level 1 can use first-order spells, level 10 can use second-order spells, level 20 can use third-order spells, and so on. However, high-level magic requires not only a class level, but also a high level of magical talent to match. High-level magic also requires an extremely strong belief in the gods or a special contribution to be granted. Therefore, it is very common for even a level 100 caster not to use spells above the eighth order.

"It seems that we have to trouble the archbishop of the Church of the United States God here again. Don't forget to give some gifts to the kind old man to show your appreciation. "Kanna happily led the way ahead.

"Hey. I say, Kanna, you've done this magic far more than we do. Why hasn't your appearance changed at all? Edward still pouted.

"Because I'm Jessica's voter. The beauty god voter trait is that the charisma attribute cannot be reduced in any way. Kanna looked back and said seriously.

"That's it? In addition to encountering such a rare special situation today, this voter characteristic also has a gross use! "Edward was very dismissive.

"You don't understand." Kanna said she didn't bother to explain.

"Ah...... It's unreasonable...... I'm so envious......" Julia said inadvertently.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a glimmer of light above her head, knocking on Julia's head.

"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Lord Harvest God, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore! ”

"The girl's mind is so strange......" Garcia still covered his face tightly with his hands.
