Chapter 38

Medanie's sudden move was unexpected, catching everyone off guard. However, the silver ornament in the form of a standard long sword was only about four centimeters in size. When thrown lightly towards Amelia, it seemed like something Medanie impulsively tossed out in powerless rage as a form of release.

Yet, from the system's perspective, the small silver sword emitted a dazzling white light, resembling a weapon breaking through barriers. It went straight into the seemingly bottomless black mist, displaying a momentum of tearing apart the darkness entirely.

Seeing this, the system instantly became excited. It formulated a bold hypothesis: it had found an item in this world capable of suppressing demons!!!

May the gods bless them, resolving the villainess directly and restoring normalcy to this world!!!

Wasn't the sweet love story between Cinderella and the prince enough? Did they really need to add demonic elements, risking the whole narrative going haywire?

"Is this a gift?"

However, to the system's immense anticipation, Amelia treated the silver sword ornament as if she had discovered an interesting toy. Instead of avoiding it, she directly lifted her hand to catch the silver sword accessory.

Simultaneously, the black mist that had been dispersing suddenly turned into a thick, viscous liquid. The silver sword, enveloped in the black liquid, lost its luster in an instant, becoming dull.

Then, Amelia opened her palm, and the silver sword had completely lost its effectiveness.

Now it was just an ordinary accessory.

Medanie's crazed expression froze on her face. She stared at the silver sword in disbelief, never expecting it to turn out this way.

It had unexpectedly failed!

Light dispels darkness, and justice eradicates evil.

How could it be useless!!!

The failure of the silver sword against demonic forces was too stimulating, causing Medanie to mutter incessantly, "Impossible! Such vile creatures as demons absolutely cannot withstand the light of justice. Something must be wrong. The gods won't abandon devout believers. I must exterminate the demons! Ah, ah, ah, exterminate the demons!"

In the end, Medanie shouted wildly with a deranged expression, looking nervous and indeed resembling a mentally ill person.

Meanwhile, as she shouted, the previously overlooked black bird also chimed in.

"Demon exterminator, demon exterminator."

The noisy sounds echoed in the enclosed space, making Ifia unconsciously move closer to Amelia.

Oh my, indeed encountered someone with a mental illness!

Listening to Amelia's narration earlier didn't seem like a big deal, but witnessing it firsthand added a touch of reality.

However, for some reason, Ifia felt a bit cold since a moment ago.

As if the room had suddenly become air-conditioned.

Ifia's movements were not significant, but because she and Amelia were holding hands, any slight movement was noticed by Amelia. Seeing Ifia's hesitant appearance, Amelia couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

While she found satisfaction in the moment of human breakdown, it was limited to that. The sporadic trace of negative emotions was deemed quite unsatisfactory for absorption.

Originally, she thought she had found an interesting little toy.

However, in reality, she had overestimated it.

The energy attached to the silver sword was somewhat peculiar, exuding a demonic aversion. It could indeed suppress ordinary small demons, but it fell short against larger demons. Moreover, standing before Medanie at this moment, Amelia was at the pinnacle of the demonic hierarchy.

As a result, Amelia, quickly losing interest, decided to inject thick magic into the silver sword. Out of certain perverse interests, she instantly changed the item's properties.

The originally warm white light-emitting silver sword now resembled an abyssal evil dragon.

"Ifia, take it. Consider it an apology for the disturbance."

While the silver sword's properties were altered again, its power was even more formidable than before. If any other foolish demon attempted anything against Ifia, the sword could instantly annihilate it.

Initially, if a demonic mark were inscribed on Ifia's body and soul, these items wouldn't be necessary. However, demonic marks would make humans weak and spiritually feeble. Amelia currently didn't want Ifia, who was full of vitality, to become frail, so she opted for a more lively approach.

"Okay!"

Ifia looked at the silver sword accessory handed over by Amelia, not minding its origin. Since Amelia said it was Medanie's apology, she felt more justified in accepting it.

Although it had the appearance of a standard long sword, the carving was quite exquisite and beautiful.

Not to mention, it was made of silver.

Once again, Ifia avoided the abyssal gaze from Jessica behind her, gleefully pocketing the small silver sword. If the day ever came when she was short on money, selling this silver accessory could fetch a decent amount.

She truly was a thrifty and resourceful person!

The system, silently observing, watched Ifia's delighted expression as she accepted the silver sword. At this moment, the system felt like it had donned a mask of pain.

Its hope for the demise of the villainess had been dashed.

Moreover, after this incident, the system became even more cautious, fearing to act recklessly. The fact that the villainess effortlessly transformed an item meant to restrain demons filled the system with dread—an overwhelming demonic power that made the system despair!

Indeed, if dealing with the villainess were that easy, this world wouldn't have collapsed hundreds of times. The system even suspected that if it continued to invest in this world with the host, the number of failures might change from hundreds to thousands…

There seemed to be no possibility of success at all!

Terrified by the power displayed by Amelia, the system became silent. Ifia, on the other hand, watched as the soldiers each took a side to support Medanie, making her already deranged expression even more grotesque.

"Miss Barlen, we will transfer Medanie to the Imperial Police Station. We will also report the action of using objects to intimidate the nobles just now, so that the police station will be informed."

The leading soldier, when mentioning Medanie throwing items, had a tone tinged with fear. Obviously, their failure to promptly protect the Duke's daughter had left them anxious. If they encountered a noble with a bad temper, there was a good chance they would face punishment.

However, Miss Barlen, the Duke's daughter, was an outstanding and rational noble. She surely wouldn't hold them responsible for such a matter!

Thinking this, the leading soldier glared fiercely at Medanie, feeling that it was this woman who had made them fail in protecting the Duke's daughter, causing them to lose face in front of the Duke's daughter.

Medanie, however, completely disregarded the soldiers' disdain. When Amelia silently nodded in acknowledgment, Medanie stared intently at Amelia, who was holding Ifia's hand. She then shifted her gaze to Iphy.

The pitiable one who had been played with by demons!

The goddess of light would bestow her radiance upon the world!

The Lady Saint, who bestowed the holy artifact upon her, would eradicate these detestable demons!

After receiving Amelia's nod, the soldiers immediately prepared to leave with Medanie. However, after taking only a few steps, Medanie suddenly struggled. She stared directly at Ifia and, with a tone of pity, spoke up:

"Innocent lamb, if you ever encounter trouble in the future, seek out the Lady Saint! The gods will not abandon any child and will surely protect you from the hands of demons!"
