Tina only felt a burning heat in her chest because she could sense someone harboring malice toward her Sathya.
Were these paladins standing in front of them the ones who had harmed Little Ya?
Just seeing their Church attire made Tina angry, and her chest would burn with heat!
Furthermore, her heart ached, as if something might happen to Little Ya at any moment.
Sathya was the Saintess, the strongest human of all.
Why did these people still treat her this way?
Then, an impulse and instinct welled up from deep within her.
【Kill them】
Tina did exactly that.
Instinctively, she unleashed her dragon breath, setting the sky ablaze. The residual heat instantly melted the surrounding snow, turning it into a small river and exposing the original state of the street.
Then, she aimed at the Paladin Legion a second time, but her shot went wide.
Finally, she planned to unleash her dragon breath once more, aiming right at the man who called himself the "Paladin Commander."
“Be good, Sister Tina~”
Just then, her head was gently stroked, and her dragon breath receded.
It was Sathya speaking; she didn't want Tina to keep killing humans.
She blinked, her innocent look making Sathya feel both amused and helpless.
“Sister Tina, your body is still very weak. Leave the rest to me.”
“Okay, Little Ya.”
After patting her head once more, Sathya finally looked at the Paladin Commander.
The smile on his face was on the verge of vanishing.
Yet his self-righteous demeanor remained.
Because he had realized that both of the girls before him were actually magical beasts!
Sathya and Tina.
Born into the Paladin Order, he had been hailed as a genius by various knights from a very young age.
He later learned that the Saintesses were also geniuses, competing among themselves to choose the strongest one.
The Paladin Order was no different.
And now, he wanted to prove that as a genius himself, he was by no means inferior to Sathya!
“Today, I will show you magical beasts the courage of humanity! You are nothing but magical beasts! Paladins, follow me—”
Pfft!
Tentacles formed from the flames of the power of chaos suddenly transformed into sharp blades, erupting from beneath each paladin and precisely skewering their chests.
It resembled a bloody slaughterhouse. Those who had been preparing to charge alongside the Paladin Commander just a second ago were instantly slaughtered.
Only a few elites managed to dodge out of instinct, but even their bodies were pierced, leaving them completely devoid of any will to fight.
The Paladin Commander blocked the strike with his Holy Sword, but the only thing he heard next was a dead silence.
Almost the entire Paladin Legion had been wiped out. Soon, those who survived the first wave were skewered a second time, leaving absolutely nothing behind.
Before he could even react, several black vines sprouted behind him. A towering tree then erupted from the ground. Unlike normal trees, it did not grow upward but instead formed a wooden cage, cutting off his escape route.
Then, he caught a glimpse of a green afterimage as the girl with angel-like wings on her back flew toward him.
Spurt!
He coughed up a mouthful of blood as his chest was pierced.
“How pathetic, you people of the Church. The power you take so much pride in is absolutely nothing before a magical beast,” Velrose said coldly.
She had been furious after being shaken by the residual shockwaves of that crucifix earlier. Now, she could finally kill the Paladin Commander with her own hands.
To his horror, the commander realized that they weren't dealing with just one or two magical beasts—all four girls standing before him were magical beasts!
Never in history had four magical beasts appeared at the same time, with two of them possessing unprecedented, terrifying power.
“Hehe... You will... be killed by... Elcalan...”
Velrose pulled her hand out of his chest. The blood was instantly vaporized by green flames, leaving not a single trace on her body.
His entire body was pinned to the tree, but he did not die immediately.
He witnessed it with his own eyes.
He watched as the deceased members of the Paladin Legion were slowly submerged in black flames, as if being swallowed by a chaotic, abyssal ocean.
Then, they vanished completely into the "black ocean." In their place, only small red spheres remained.
These spheres were smooth and glittering, resembling finely polished rubies.
It was as if their power and souls had been gathered and sealed inside the gemstones.
Then, those thousands of gemstones floated toward Sathya, hovering around her.
“One thousand one hundred and thirty-two. Just one more left.”
Sathya looked in the direction of the Paladin Commander.
At that moment, the Paladin Commander felt true terror.
He regretted everything.
He shouldn't have boasted. He should have contacted Cardinal Elcalan the very instant he saw them... but it was too late.
With a miserable shriek, the man dissolved into the black miasma, turning into a red gemstone as well.
As for their original bodies, they had already been incinerated. All that remained was this purest form of energy, differing only in size.
“Sister Tina, would you like some?”
Sathya turned around and walked toward Tina.
To magical beasts, this was pure energy.
It was a snack far more delicious than candy.
She didn't give the energy to Tina right away. Instead, she first distributed some to the other two magical beasts.
Then, she picked Tina up, cradled her in her arms, and sat down.
Looking at her highly expectant face, Sathya gently touched the crucifix around Tina's neck as she picked up an energy sphere.
“Do you want it~”
she said dotingly.
Tina was no stranger to these energy spheres, as they had encountered bandits on their journey who were also turned into energy spheres.
Back then, she had eaten them straight from Sathya's mouth...
Consuming them made her entire body feel incredibly comfortable, like a withered little flower finally receiving water.
However, Little Ya wouldn't give her the energy so easily.
“Could you call me 'Master'?” Sathya suddenly felt that this would be very pleasing.
Being called that by Sister Tina would make her blush.
The feeling of being needed by her was indeed wonderful...
Sister Tina used to want to protect her just like this.
From now on, she had to protect her as well.
This energy would allow Sister Tina to recover her body, help her grow, and ultimately regain her sanity.
This was a necessary process.
“If you call me Master once, I'll give you a lot, okay?”
“Master~”
Tina hardly hesitated. In fact, she deeply yearned to address Little Ya with more intimate names, and she would gladly do so even if it were far more embarrassing.
“Master, give it to me~”
To her, Little Ya was everything. In other words, Little Ya was her entire world, so a mere change in address mattered very little to her.
It was just that the way Shetiel and Velrose were looking at them was a bit strange...
They hadn't been asked to call anyone Master when they received their share of the energy.
This was wonderful.
I really am special to her~
Soon, Tina was kissed, and the energy melted, flowing down her throat... This was Little Ya's unique way of feeding her.
And to get more energy, she called out again and again.
“Mas... ter.”
“Master?”
“Mas... ter~ Mas...”
“Master... Master~♡”
