The Sekirei’s Covenant

"Lily, I really didn't expect that we would have a time fighting side-by-side! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!"

Blinking her large eyes, Erica said to Liliana with a playful smile.

"Hmph! This time it's just because the situation is special…"

A faint blush couldn't help but appear on her face, and she turned her head away. Although she was putting on a brave front with her words, Liliana knew that deep down she was also somewhat looking forward to it.

Aside from her somewhat annoying personality, Erica was actually a pretty good partner…

"Crimson Devil, Fairy Knight, hehehe, interesting, interesting!"

"But these people are all on the same level as you. Even if you add the two of you, what can you do?"

Looking at the two girls who had drawn their swords against him, Marquis Voban couldn't help but laugh disdainfully.

Genius girls, Great Knights? In his eyes, they were all trash. Which of his Undead Servants wasn't a powerful human just like them before they died!

"Is that so? I don't think so! They are just puppets who act according to your commands. How can they compare to humans like Liliana and me who know how to adapt on the fly!"

"Liliana, prioritizing the King's safety is the top priority. Let's go!"

Normally, Erica might be polite to other Devil Kings, but now that their own King had started fighting with the opponent, Erica naturally wouldn't pretend to be friendly.

The two girls nodded to each other, no longer hesitating, and simultaneously swung the magic swords in their hands, charging towards the Undead Servants.

"Hmph, you sure can talk. Attack them, all of you!"

"After I kill you, I will also collect you as one of my servants!"

His expression turned grim, flashing with a hint of anger. Under Marquis Voban's control, all the Undead Servants also rushed towards the two girls.

Boom! Boom boom boom!!!

The battle instantly erupted. Various magic spells intertwined and collided, and streaks of sword energy overflowed and flew everywhere.

Erica's analysis was correct. Although these Undead Servants were powerful knights or magicians on the same level as her and Liliana, and still retained various skills and powers from when they were alive after becoming Undead Servants, their movements were stiff and lacked flexibility. They could only act according to Marquis Voban's commands, thus lacking adaptability. Almost as soon as they met, many were annihilated by the two girls.

However, this did not mean the situation was optimistic. These Undead Servants did not fear death and would not die. Even after being annihilated by the two girls each time, they would quickly re-form. Moreover, they held an absolute advantage in numbers.

Although they were temporarily in a stalemate through mutual cooperation and flexible adaptation, as time went on and their strength was continuously consumed, Erica and Liliana would soon fall into crisis!

Marquis Voban did not move. He merely stood in place with a bloodthirsty cold smile, controlling all the Undead Servants to surround and attack the two girls.

Sora also did not move. He stood in place, his brows tightly furrowed, pondering how to break through Marquis Voban's troublesome Authority.

He had already fought a round with old Voban before, continuously using Authorities such as [White Stallion], [Phoenix], [Bull], [Ram], and [Boar]. Even with the abundant divine power of the War God Verethragna, nearly half of it had been consumed. Yet, even so, he had only managed to break one of old Voban's Authorities. If things continued like this, he would definitely lose!

Lose? Thinking of this possibility, Sora couldn't help but chuckle mockingly. Old Voban was a lone wolf; if he lost, he lost. But if Sora lost, whether it was Erica and Liliana who were fighting, or Yuri who was quietly waiting on the side, everyone would be in trouble!

He rubbed his forehead. Even the carefree Sora felt immense pressure…

Just as Sora was racking his brain trying to figure out how to scheme against old Voban again and take him down, a certain Miko-san on the side wasn't idle either—

"Erica-san… Liliana-san… Unlike them, I can't do anything, nothing at all…"

Looking at the two girls fighting the Undead Servants in front of Sora, Yuri bit her lip tightly, her fingers almost digging into her flesh.

Nervous, anxious, worried, but more than that, the girl felt self-reproach and loathing for her own powerlessness…

"No, there must be something I can do! Although I can't fight like Erica-san and Liliana-san, I can definitely help Sora!"

Suddenly raising her head, the girl's previous gloomy aura was swept away, replaced by a face full of determination.

"I can definitely see it! I can definitely see it! Marquis Voban's Authority…"

Staring intently at Marquis Voban in the distance, who was laughing heartily while commanding the Undead Servants to attack Erica and Liliana, Yuri told herself over and over again in her heart. She didn't even notice that her cherry-red lips had been bitten until a trace of blood appeared.

Although her Spirit Vision ability wasn't stable when activated, the girl knew that this time she would definitely succeed.

Because she had to succeed!!!

As if sensing the Miko's resolve, an invisible and mysterious power descended from the sky, landing on Yuri. Subsequently, a faint green halo emanated from the girl's entire body.

This was the manifestation of Yuri's Spirit Vision activating, receiving a revelation from the heavens!

"A god who can resurrect even after death, who can retrieve his soul even if his body is shattered, who descends to the underworld, green skin, bandages, a crown…"

"Grass, trees, flowers… life born in spring, taken away in winter, the embodiment of governing life and death, this is the proof of being a god of the earth…"

As if in a daze, Yuri muttered strange words from her mouth before suddenly snapping back to her senses.

"Sora, quickly use the Authority of your Golden Sword! The Authority Marquis Voban is using comes from the Egyptian god Osiris, who rules the world of the dead, a divine nature similar to Apollo!"

"Use your Word Spirit to forge your sword, you can definitely defeat him!"

Her excitement was beyond measure. Yuri quickly shouted to Sora.

Great! She could finally be of help! Now that she knew the origin of Marquis Voban's Authority, Sora could definitely defeat him!

However—

"Cough cough… Uh, Yuri, even if you say that, I…"

He coughed twice. Even the thick-skinned Sora couldn't help but feel a little awkward. Looking at the Miko-san who was so excited and trying so hard, Sora was quite touched, but even if you told me the origin of Marquis Voban's Authority, it's useless!

"How could that be…"

Seeing Sora remain indifferent and not activating his Golden Sword Domain, Yuri felt as if she had fallen from an endless height into a valley. Had everything she done been completely useless?!

"Yuri, your idea isn't wrong, but our Devil King doesn't understand those complicated myths at all. What he lacks is knowledge about Osiris. Even if you tell him this, he won't understand."

Slicing down a Death Servant, Erica stood back-to-back with Liliana, watching their surroundings with extreme vigilance, and spoke to Yuri.

"But… what should I do?"

Her heart was filled with anxiety. Even Yuri, who didn't understand combat, knew that the situation was getting worse. If this continued…

Instead of directly answering Yuri, Erica showed a mischievous smile, winked at the Miko-san, and gave her a look that said 'you know what I mean'.

"Ah? Uh…"

Slightly startled and confused, the Miko-san suddenly thought of something. Her face instantly turned blood-red, and she tightly covered her mouth.

Sora doesn't have knowledge about mythology. It must be directly transmitted to him through spellcraft or magic. However, because a Devil King's constitution has strong resistance to magic, applying spellcraft from the outside would be ineffective. It can only be directly input into his body.

In other words, if Sora is to gain this knowledge now, he must kiss her…

Perhaps to others, a kiss is nothing, but for a pure and conservative girl like Yuri, kissing a boy means…

Her shyness was beyond measure. Not knowing how to decide, the Miko-san felt her entire mind turn into a blur.

However, it was at this moment—

"Yuri, don't worry about that brat Erica, and don't trouble yourself with these things anymore. I appreciate your good intentions, and you've already proven your worth and effort. Just leave the rest to me!"

Appearing before Yuri, Sora gently patted Yuri's shoulder and comforted her.

"Sora, but…"

Looking at Sora with an incredulous expression, Yuri never expected Sora to refuse himself!

"Hehehe… Yuri, don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite possessive. If any girl dares to kiss me, she has to be my girlfriend. Even if she doesn't agree, I'll snatch her away!"

"Also, don't be fooled by how I usually act decent, but I'm not a good person. I already have Erica, and I also have 'that kind of relationship' with a certain unscrupulous witch from Sardinia. You're a pure and kind good girl. If you were touched by an evil Great Demon King like me, hehe…"

"Alright, a big battle might break out again soon. You should stay far away. That fellow, Miss Kaoru, is nearby. You can find her just by running across the street. Don't stay here anymore, hurry and go."

He was completely like a dead pig not fearing boiling water now. Sora had completely abandoned his so-called integrity, spilling all his messy affairs, and looking incredibly smug and punchable.

Although they were fighting fiercely, Erica and Liliana, with their high strength, still heard Sora's words clearly.

Erica had a brilliant smile on her face, feeling that her Demon King was truly becoming more and more adorable. And just now, she seemed to have heard something interesting too. The witch from Sardinia? Hehehe, could it be that woman Zola?!

She made up her mind. If Marquis Voban was repelled this time, she should definitely have a chat with her adorable Demon King!

As for Liliana, who was currently fighting Erica, well, after hearing Sora's words, the novelist girl's face instantly turned crimson. She felt that this King Kusanagi was truly too wicked!

However, after she came back to her senses and calmed down a little, the girl's mood couldn't help but become somewhat strangely moved and heavy…

After Sora finished speaking to Yuri, he had already made up his mind. Without further hesitation, he directly turned around and walked towards the battlefield.

Although he still hadn't thought of a good way to deal with Marquis Voban, Sora didn't care anymore. Damn it, an old man who's practically ready for a funeral! If you really piss me off, I'll just take you down with me in a self-detonation!

Isn't that how it is for those guys in Xianxia and Xuanhuan novels? If you can't beat them, just drag the enemy to die with you!

Although he didn't have an Authority for self-detonation, it didn't matter. Sora's physics grades were pretty good. He just needed to compress the divine power within his body as much as possible and then suddenly release it.

Striding like a meteor, Sora at this moment truly had the imposing air of "The wind howls, the Yishui is cold; the hero departs, never to return." Sweat…

"Sora!!!"

He had only taken a few steps when suddenly, the voice of the Miko-san, Yuri, came from behind him. Unlike her usual gentle and delicate tone, it carried a hint of a different kind of assertiveness.

"What is it, Yu…"

Thinking she wanted to say something else, Sora turned his head back with a puzzled expression. But before he could finish speaking, Sora froze.

Because Yuri had rushed towards him, and incredibly assertively, kissed him…
