Peace Hunter

"So it was you who used the plant magic, Lord Remy," said Miss Karina.

Duke Remy continued walking toward Miss Karina who is watching Marquess Marcelo struggle to escape Duke Remy's plant magic.

"You can use plant magic too, right, Ms. Principal? Then I think we'll be a good match," said Duke Remy.

"Are you teasing me right now, Lord Remy? If Miss Arnett heard this, I'm sure she'd be devastated," said Miss Karina.

"I was only joking. How could I make Arnett sad," said Duke Remy.

"I'm impressed that you can still joke around in a situation like this," said Miss Karina.

"Most people are already panicking because of this incident. Of course, they're panicking because several people in this courtroom have suddenly turned into demons. But we shouldn't panic like them, Ms. Principal. At the very least, we should try to calm the situation down," said Duke Remy.

"You have a point," said Miss Karina.

"I still can't believe that Lord James and Lord Darwin were plotting something so evil, intending to kill Her Majesty the Queen and the entire San Lucia family. Why would they plan such a thing?" asked Duke Remy.

"I don't know, I don't know either. Since the trial wasn't over yet, I'm sure Your Majesty intended to inquire about their motives, but as you can see, Lord James and Lord Darwin suddenly transformed into demons, forcing the trial to be halted. It wasn't just the two of them who became demons, several people in this room also became demons, one of whom was Marquess Marcelo, who was also one of the people plotting to kill Her Majesty the Queen and the entire San Lucia family," said Miss Karina.

"Yes, I also didn't expect them to suddenly transform into demons. When I saw Lord James and Lord Darwin transform into demons, I wondered what it would be like if Miss Harriet and Miss Claret saw that. They would surely be very shocked," said Duke Remy.

"Yes, I feel sorry for Miss Claret and Miss Harriet," said Miss Karina.

"By the way, I've heard that races other than demons can transform into demons by drinking the blood of a 'pure-blooded demon'. If they can transform into demons, does that mean they've drunk the blood of a 'pure-blooded demon'? If that's the case, does that mean there are 'pure-blooded demons' hiding in this kingdom?" asked Duke Remy.

"I don't think this is the time for us to be making such guesses, Lord Remy. Lord Louis, I, and Sir Roswald were also guessing about their sudden transformation, but Her Majesty the Queen immediately rebuked us and said that it would be best for us to immediately eliminate those demons. Although Her Majesty the Queen doesn't yet know the level of these demons, Her Majesty doesn't want this kingdom to be visited by Angels because of these demons. If this kingdom were to be visited by Angels, it could suffer the same fate as the Framtida Kingdom" said Miss Karina.

"You have a point, Ms. Principal. By the way, I saw Her Majesty the Queen dash out of this courtroom earlier. What is she doing?" asked Duke Remy.

"She went outside the courtroom to chase after Lord Darwin, whom she had previously thrown out of the courtroom. She wants to kill Lord Darwin outside the courtroom. The reason is because if she kills Lord Darwin inside this building, she fears the building will collapse, as she intends to use powerful magic to kill Lord Darwin," said Miss Karina.

"I see, Her Majesty the Queen is currently trying to kill Lord Darwin. In that case, we should also quickly kill Marquess Marcelo, who has transformed into a demon," said Duke Remy.

"Yes," said Miss Karina.

Duke Remy and Miss Karina began walking toward Marquess Marcelo, who was entangled by Duke Remy's plant magic. Marquess Marcelo continued to struggle and try to free himself from the vines. Seeing Marquess Marcelo struggling to free himself, Duke Remy strengthened the coils of his plant magic. Furthermore, Duke Remy also added new plants to wrap around Marquess Marcelo's body. Marquess Marcelo continued to struggle and try to free himself. Meanwhile, Miss Karina continued to approach Marquess Marcelo, wielding her sword. She appeared ready to slash at Marquess Marcelo.

"I've heard that the inner skin of the demon race is incredibly tough. In that case, I'll use a lot of Mana in my sword to cut through the body of a demon race," Miss Karina thought.

Miss Karina then channeled a lot of Mana into her sword. Then, once enough Mana had flowed through her sword, she prepared to slash at Marquess Marcelo's neck. However, just as Miss Karina was preparing to slit Marquess Marcelo's throat, Marquess Marcelo suddenly released Dark Magic from his mouth. The Dark Magic was directed straight at the floor below. The Dark Magic, directed at the floor, caused a large explosion.

"What?!?!!" said Miss Karina in shock.

However, Miss Karina quickly retreated to avoid the explosion. Miss Karina retreated back to where Duke Remy was.

"Are you okay, Ms. Principal?" asked Duke Remy.

"Yes, luckily I managed to dodge," said Miss Karina.

After their exchange, Marquess Marcelo suddenly emerged from the explosion and shot towards them. Then, Marquess Marcelo immediately attacked Duke Remy with his sharp claws, covered in Dark Magic. Duke Remy was struck squarely in the stomach. Miss Karina was shocked to see Duke Remy suddenly hit by Marquess Marcelo's attack. Duke Remy was then thrown against several walls behind him, shattering them. Duke Remy was sent flying into another room in the building.

"Lord Remy!!" Miss Karina shouted.

After Miss Karina shouted that, Marquess Marcelo suddenly attacked Miss Karina with the same attack he had used on Duke Remy. Miss Karina realized the attack and immediately dodged it. However, the attack was so fast that Miss Karina couldn't fully avoid it. The attack managed to graze Miss Karina's waist. Miss Karina was shocked to discover that the attack had still managed to scratch her.

"His attack was incredibly fast, even faster than the attack Lord Darwin launched against Sis Kayana earlier. It's no wonder I couldn't react when he attacked Lord Remy, and I couldn't dodge his attack just now," thought Miss Karina.

Then, Marquess Marcelo again tried to attack Miss Karina just as quickly. However, just as Marquess Marcelo's attack was about to hit Lady Karina, Miss Karina quickly stomped her foot on the floor below.

~Plant Magic: Dance of Growing Tree~

After that, a tree trunk suddenly appeared on the floor beneath Marquess Marcelo. The trunk attempted to stab Marquess Marcelo, but Marquess Marcelo quickly dodged the trunk. Marquess Marcelo also failed to attack Miss Karina. However, even though Marquess Marcelo avoided the tree trunk, other tree trunks continued to appear every time he moved. The tree trunks that attempted to impale Marquess Marcelo were not only the newly emerged tree trunks beneath the floor where he stood, but also other tree trunks that had appeared previously. These other tree trunks snaked and chased Marquess Marcelo wherever he went.

Marquess Marcelo knew it would be futile to continue dodging the tree trunks because they would continue to appear and multiply. Marquess Marcelo immediately attacked the tree trunks using ~Dark Magic~ to at least reduce the number of tree trunks that wanted to attack him. However, even though he had attacked and destroyed the tree trunks with ~Dark Magic~, the tree trunks that wanted to attack him were still numerous. Marquess Marcelo seemed to have difficulty dealing with the tree trunks that continued to appear and try to attack him. While Marquess Marcelo was focused on attacking the tree trunks that were about to attack him, Miss Karina suddenly darted behind Marquess Marcelo and prepared to attack him with her sword.

"Although you have fast movements and quick reflexes in avoiding attacks, those reflexes only apply to attacks within your sight. If the attack launched at you is in your blind spot, then you won't have time to avoid it. This time, it's over," said Miss Karina.

~Plant Sword Art: Loranthus Slash~

Miss Karina slashed Marquess Marcelo right in the neck. The sword's slash penetrated the outer skin of Marquess Marcelo's neck and prepared to cut through the skin of Marquess Marcelo's neck and his entire neck. However, just as the sword was attempting to cut through the skin of Marquess Marcelo's neck, it suddenly stopped, preventing Miss Karina from severing the entire neck.

"Even though I used quite a lot of Mana in my sword when I slashed him, the inner skin was still very strong. Could it be that each demon's inner skin has a different thickness to be able to penetrate it?" thought Miss Karina.

With the sword still stuck in Marquess Marcelo's neck, Marquess Marcelo immediately prepared to attack Miss Karina using ~Dark Magic~ from his mouth. Miss Karina, seeing this, quickly touched Marquess Marcelo's chest with her right hand. After that, suddenly a tree trunk emerged from Miss Karina's right palm. The tree trunk immediately pierced Marquess Marcelo's chest, sending him flying, crashing into the wall behind him.

Shortly afterward, Marquess Marcelo immediately rose to his feet after being knocked back. Miss Karina then examined Marquess Marcelo's body. A hole appeared in Marquess Marcelo's chest, the result of the tree trunk attack she had just launched. However, the hole didn't penetrate all the way to his back because the tree trunk attack hadn't penetrated the inner skin of Marquess Marcelo's chest, only the outer skin.

Miss Karina then examined Marquess Marcelo's neck. There was a large slash wound on his neck, the result of Miss Karina's attack. Several small plants were growing in the wound.

"The plant that appears on his body will continue to drain his mana until it runs out, and then he will die. But who knows how long it will take for the plant to drain his mana. I can't take too long fighting it. It looks like I'll have to use that technique," thought Miss Karina.

Miss Karina prepared to attack Marquess Marcelo again with her sword. As she held her sword, a liquid suddenly appeared and coated it. Then, Miss Karina stomped her foot again, causing tree trunks to reappear on the floor and attack Marquess Marcelo again. Marquess Marcelo again tried to dodge and attack the tree trunks. As Marquess Marcelo continued to dodge and attack the emerging tree trunks, Miss Karina suddenly darted to Marquess Marcelo's side and attacked him with her sword.

~Plant Sword Art Secret Technique: Manchineel Death Slash~

Miss Karina slashed Marquess Marcelo's body with a devastating blow. Although unable to cleave him in half, her slash still left a massive gash. The gash extended from his stomach to his chest, and blood gushed profusely from it. Furthermore, the part of his body that had been slashed began to melt, and the melted matter spread to the rest of his body. Marquess Marcelo immediately collapsed to the floor after the attack.

Meanwhile, Miss Karina, seeing Marquess Marcelo lying motionless on the floor, returned her sword to her waist. The tree trunks that had previously appeared on the floor to attack Marquess Marcelo had disappeared, leaving only holes in the floor where they had appeared.

"I was forced to use this technique to quickly finish off the demon. Because if I didn't, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself and cause this building to become overgrown with trees. If that happened, I'd get scolded by Sis Kayana," said Miss Karina.
