With the System’s sudden warning, Cedric doesn’t o ask to know it is definitely reted to the sudden increase iive Energy around River Stoy.

  Moving his mental power toward the city, Cedric’s expression quickly ged after he saw through the se hidden by the ive Energy mist.

  Ihe River Stoy, a massacre is ongoing.

  Currently, almost half the people in River Stoy have been killed. As for the culprit, it is an old woman that has somehow been ied by ive Energy and began sughtering everyone iy.

  With her frail arm, she easily tore a man in half before separating him into several parts.

  Arouhe blessed stationed iy have been trying their best to attack her and give enough time for the civilians to escape. But the old woman easily parry all the attacks they directed toward her.

  Ign the attack from the surrounding blessed, she keeps on moving at incredible speed and sughters the surrounding humans.

  The se incredibly shocked Cedric. The woman’s strength is simply too exaggerated. A human has actually been ied by ive Energy!

  During the past few years, all the demo sisted of mindless animals. They might have some intelligence like the chi he first saw, but they’re still an animal.

  This is the first case of a humaing possessed by hat he has ever seen.

  He activated Divine Sight and checked the woman’s status.

  [Life Level: Lower level 2

  Potential: Mid level 1]

  “She has reached lower level 2!”

  Cedric quickly took the [Diviervention: Word] pced on a nearby table and tacted Yuma and Lacius.

  [A demon has appeared in River Stoy and has killed half of the popuce.]

  After seeing both of them respond to his warning, Cedric calcuted the distaween Lacius, Yuma, and the River Stoy.

  Yuma is currently quite far away from River Stoy. He would’ve o spend a whole day before arriving there.

  As for Lacius’s army, they’re indeed muearer. But, with the travel speed of an army, they would’ve needed between one and a half hour to two hours to reach River Stoy.

  “The River Stoy is done for! Two hours is enough for that woman to destroy the ey.”

  Although Cedric said that, he is unwilling to give up easily. After all, there are still thousands of humans in River Stoy remaining. Even if not for his passion, he o help them for the sake of deying the raise iive Energy.

  So, Cedric asked the System. “Do you have any sort of thing I could use to stop that woman? At least until Lacius arrived there.”

  [There are items used to seal creatures sold in the shop. But, you ’t immediately use those items. Instead, the creature in your world must be the oo activate it.]

  “I know, I know. Reend me Diviem at level 1 that could seal that NE ied woman. Also, reend me ahat could allow Yuma to arrive at that location before Lacius!”

  Cedric asked the item to be at level 1 because the current city lord of River Stoy is a blessed at level 1. The city lord is already the stro person around the ied woman. So, the item he could use is only those at level 1.

  [It’s reeo purchase Level 2 Paper Airpne for your hero and several Level 1 Sealing Stoo seal the NE ied woman.]

  [Level 2 able Diviem, Paper Airpne.

  Cost: 10 GP

  [Level 1 able Diviem, Sealing Stone.

Attack at or below level 1 won’t damage the creature sealed inside.]

  Cedric immediately bought a [Paper Airpne] and a [Sealing Stone].

  Ohe item appeared in front of him, he picked up the [Diviervention: Word] and urged both Yuma and Lacius to go toward River Stoy. He also sent the [Paper Airpoward Yuma.

  , he sent the city lord of River Stoy a separate message.

  ***

  Inside River Stoy, city lord Venea is busy activating his blessed power to slow down the rampaging old woman.

  While he felt he might faint from exhaustion, a s appeared in front of him.

  [I shall grant you ao seal the demon.]

  “Who are you! Show yourself!” Venea shouted toward the s that fshed in front of him while gng at his surroundings.

  [I am the creator of the Crystal Cube world. We don’t have much time. Extend one of your hands now.]

  Although Venea felt suspicious, he still extended his left palm forward to see what kind of trick the unknown person wished to py on him.

  Suddenly, he felt a weight in his hand as a glowing, slightly transparent golden stone appeared on it. Venea is sure the stone has appeared out of nowhere because he has been keeping an eye on his palm wheone suddenly appears.

  Grabbing the stone, Venea saw the s once more. He already mostly believed the oalked with is the creator that king Lacius has once mentioned.

  [Stop every attack from your subordinates and pour your power into it while fog on the demon.]

  He followed the guidand shouted, “Every soldier, halt your attack!”

  Then, he created a ball of water around the golden stone while staring deeply at the rampaging old woman.

  He could feel the stone in his hand abs a little of the water he created before shattering and turning into light that shot toward the rampaging woman.

  The instant that woman got hit by the light. The air surrounding her seemingly hardens and crystallizes. At st, the woman froze while being encapsuted in a two meter tall opaque golden sto’s shaped just like the stoivated, but much bigger in scale.

  ***

  Ihe Divine Space, Cedric sighed in relief upon seeing the woman had been sealed.

  He then focused his attention on Yuma, who’ve been granted with the [Paper Airpne].

  After bidding farewell to An and Tsukiko, who tiheir jourhrough horses. Yuma used the [Paper Airpne] and traveled at high speed toward the River Stoy.

  Luckily, the weather in the Crystal Cube world is currently sunny without any trace of rain at all.

  Based on Yuma’s travel speed through the [Paper Airpne], and the distaween his current location to River Stoy. He should’ve arrived in around an hour.

  That means Cedrieeds to purchase at least three other [Sealing Stoo tinuously seal the woman.

  While fog on the journey of Yuma and Lacius’s army. Cedric also stantly checked the situation in River Stoy.

  Every time the seal on that woman almost expired, Cedric bought another [Sealing Stone] a it toward Venea, who activated it and sealed the woman once more.

  After Cedric spent 5 [Sealing Stone], Yuma finally arrived at River Stoy.

  The moment he arrived, the [Paper Airpne] unraveled on its own and became a normal paper. Yuma stored the massive paper away and began stretg his limbs.

  Traveling with the paper airpne has made his limbs turn numb.

  The paper airpne is shaped like an ami paper airphat elementary school children often make. It has nor any safety measure pced on it. So, during the hour long flight, Yuma has been holding onto it for his dear life.

  If not for the slight increase in physical power he received from increasing his life level, Yuma didn’t think he could survive.

  After stretg his limbs, Yuma saw a s Cedric had sent.

  [The target is located 200 meters in your two o’clock dire. She is a woman at lower level 2 that’s currently in a sealed state.]

  He nodded and followed Cedric’s guidance.

  Once he arrived, he saw around a hundred soldiers surrounding an opaque golden stone. Ihe silhouette of a long haired person be seen. On her left arm, she seems to hold something around oer tall.

  While Yuma tried to see what the person was holding on their arm, a s appeared in front of him.

  [The seal will be broken in 1 minute and 23 seds.]

  Yuma saw Cedric’s tdown ahere was some time. So, he introduced himself to city lord Venea first.

  After a quiod as a greeting, Yuma pulled the [Fire Sword] from a scabbard he had requested a bcksmith to make and held it vertically.

  [Stop dilly dallying and quickly attack her while she is sealed! Attack at your level will be enough to damage her while in the seal.]

  ‘Eh? I thought I o wait until the seal ran out of time.’ Yuma thought while preparing for his stro attack. He summoned many fmes and enveloped it around the [Fire Sword].

  As a Diviem with fire reted power, the [Fire Sword] isn’t affected by Yuma’s fme that’s strong enough to cause iron to melt.

  He sshed the sword toward that woman and shattered the seal enveloping her.

  Although he felt some sort of repulsion force when the seal shattered. Yuma still pushes his sword toward the woman and successfully sends the fire enveloping his sword to attack that woman.

  Because she had just been released from the seal, the woman’s reflex got slightly deyed and Yuma’s strike successfully cut off her left arm.

  Behind him, city lord Venea saw the dire of Yuma’s ssh and quickly shouted. “Don’t target the small skeleton she holds in her left arm! Otherwise, she will go on a rampage!”

  Yuma heard Venea’s shout and found the thing held in the woman’s left arm was actually a skeleton. From the size, it should be the skeleton of a small child.

  The instant that woman saw the skeleton and her left arm that had fallen to the ground, she quickly cwed at Yuma, who quickly crossed his sword in front of him.

  With metal g noises, Yuma got knocked backward for a few meters while the sword in his hand also got knocked from his palm.

  Without his on, Yuma quickly retreated while stantly keeping an eye on that woman and summoning a wall of fme between them.

  Waving his ag arms, Yuma picked the sword that had left his arms while fog on the woman.

  Luckily, she didn’t e after him and instead rushed toward the small skeleton while screaming inprehensible words. It gives Yuma time to observe the woman more closely.

  He found the woman to be extremely thin and pale. Her check has dented inward, while wrinkles appear on every inch of her skin.

  Yuma curiously asked Venea, who stood o him. “Has the woman always looked like that, or has she transformed into that appearaer turning into a demon? Also, do you have some tips that’s useful for the battle?”

  “No, we’ve asked some people, and they said that woman have always looked like that. As for tips, just be careful after knog her skeleton, as she will soon rampage. There is also her extremely poisonous cw attack.” Venea answered.

  Yuma Venea’s answer and tried to get aced to the injury he just received.

  When he saw the repared to make another move, he dashed toward that woman while preparing to ssh his sword at her.
