  Emerlinda did her very best to survive and save Gofumina out of pure selflessness. And as she protected her and fended off the Emerald Knights with her powers, her Ara rapidly ran out.

  If it hadn’t been because she was fronted by the Emerald Padin, she might’ve had a better ce, but right now, she was being outnumbered and overpowered.

  She had mao mortally wound one of the Knights, but that didn’t seem to matter at all; the bastard was still moving around as if nothing, like a zombie.

  She was thrown down into the grouh, wounded and with her energies lht now, and then the knights took the opportunity to strike her down.

  “Prepare yourself to melt into nothing!”

  “Your flesh and blood shall bee her meals!”

  “The Emerald Maiden awaits you within her endless gastric juices!”

  “Perish and bee her sustenance!”

  As their swords were millimeters from pierg her skin after her armor was broken…

  TRUUUM!

  Out of nowhere, a powerful and invisible force smmed them away while they were in midair! The force was shaped like a hand, quickly followed after them, crushing them into the ground with tremendous pressure a.

  The cultists were shocked, screaming as they felt the prese could barely prehend what it was or where it even came from.

  “Uuaaaggh!”

  “W-What’s this?!”

  “Psychiergy?!”

  “There’s an Esper here?!”

  As the Cultists panicked, Ermelinda smiled, her eyes full of new hope, notig that Camil was floating right above her; the girl had followed her when she saw Emerlinda desding to help a struggling goblin.

  “Camil! You’re here!”

  Camil’s long, silvery-white hair waved in the wind as the girl looked at the bad guys while furrowing her eyebrows; for her age, she was a very serious girl.

  Her aura ed her surroundings, making the entire sky arouremble…

  After her first css ge, Camil had ged pletely; her talents were more than clear and evident now, and above all, she was catg up with her brother very fast!

  “Emerlinda… You shouldn’t have e here just to save some random person you saw screaming for help…” Camil sighed, looking at her new friend. “But I admire that brave heart of yours.”

  “I-I’m sorry… but I just ’t stand still! What if it’s a quest?! I ’t miss it!” Emerlinda said something that Camil didn’t expect.

  “A-A quest?” Camil tilted her head in fusion.

  She truly didn’t uand Pyers sometimes; they were truly their own kind of… people.

  However, that didn’t matter right now!

  It truly didn’t.

  After all, a powerful foe had already noticed Camil, his powerful Aura ing space around him the same way she did.

  “An Esper… I didn’t expeeet someone of your caliber here… But it does not matter! Everything is the same in front of the Emerald Maiden’s eyes!”

  The Emerald Padin fronted Camil, rushing towards her the moment he spotted her, and swinging his massive swainst her, his powerful emerald-colored aura erupted into tless eyes aacles, rushing towards her the momeacked.

  CRAAASH!

  The attack was immense, as an explosion of emerald fmes erupted and reached the dark skies. Emerlinda panicked as she slowly stood up, taking potions from her iory and drinking them to feel better, her Ara also slowly restored.

  “Camil!”

  As she called for her iweehing, she poured potions ofumina while trying to take out her armor but failing to do so as the armor stantly rejected her touch, giving her painful zaps of electricity.

  “Ouch! W-What’s this? Ah! Cami! Is she ok?!”

  The smoke dissipated, revealing Camil was indeed alright; her Psychic Aura protected her, resembling a huge ade of metal with sharp spikes surrounding her.

  It was still semitransparent, but her Psychic Power could now take upon physical forms, to a temporary and limited extent.

  All thanks to one of her new Skills, [Psychiifestation]!

  “Hmph, you possess great power… Espers are troublesome indeed, mutants with tremendous mind powers that should!” The Emerald Padin pushed his sword, beginning to shatter Camil’s barrier. “And I will make sure you’re one of those that die right now!”

  “You know more about Espers…?” Camil didn’t care about the danger but asked this question the moment she heard her oppoalking about Espers as if they were some kind of group of people.

  Crack, crack…!

  CRAAASH!

  Her barrier shattered as the emerald sword reached her within an instant, about to slice through her body, only for Camil’s i face to suddenly bee…

  Incredibly serious.

  Her eyes turned pletely bck, and her hair became tentacle-like, moving around, wiggling.

  BOOOM!

  An explosion of emerald light got her, engulfing her pletely…

  A, it all began to gather within a single point, the impact, the shockwave, even the power used to strike her down.

  FLUOSH!

  “Ngh?!”

  The Emerald Padi his sword being pulled by a tremendous gravitational force as he saw a small bck hole floating above Camil’s hand.

  This bck hole created su immense gravity force that it instantly ed any damage against her within a teer radius around it, abs it all.

  And then…

  “I am not weak, you know?”

  She spoke as if she were a pletely different person.

  The darkness and psychic pathered into the bck hole, rapidly pressing into a sphere of gray color.

  “{Hollow Void}”

  The sphere was thrown by Camil’s fingers as if it were nothing but a small little speck of dust.

  A, as it reached the Emerald Padin…

  BOOOMMM!!!

  A massive explosion engulfed him pletely; his powerful Aura was instantly ed and dissipated as his armor and on shattered into pieces.

  “I-Impossible…!”

  The man vomited blood, realizing there was a huge hole in his right shoulder, which took away his whht arm and also half his lung, heart, and ribs.

  He fell from the skies, bleeding out as his armor and ons fell from the sky like small fragments of emerald jewels; his body colpsed on the rai’s grassy ground, breaking his bones as his body spttered like it was nothing.

  “An orc? That expins why he was so big!” Camil gasped, her personality going back to normal. “Oh wow… I really did it now, didn’t I? Emerlinda! Right!”

  She rushed down to cheerlinda, findiruggling against the Emerald Knights again. The four bastards were still going at it, as Camil distracted herself; her grip over them was gone.

  “Hey you! Stop that! NOW!”

  TRUUUM!

  She wasn’t taking a “no” for an answer.
