It would not be an exaggeration to say that Simone had been waiting for this day ever since she learned of Anasis' existence.
Once Anasis and the Dark Lord are defeated, the curse on Illeston Manor will be lifted, and Simone will finally be able to live in true peace and luxury.
She thought that she had to do it anyway and that she should do her best to protect the people she loved, so she built up her strength and learned the skills of a necromancer.
Simone prepared thoroughly and thought that everything would go according to plan!
'It's harder than I thought.'
Demons mixed in with countless people.
People who continue to be sacrificed.
Her mind was in a hurry, but there was a limit to what she could perceive with her eyes, and it was harder than she thought to avoid all the people and use mana secretly.
That's only natural.
No matter how much she trained, this was Simone's first time fighting on such a large scale.
'If you take it slow, you can do it.'
It takes some time to fine-tune this careless and destructive mana that spews forth at the snap of a finger like before.
Being possessed by the God of death may make the task a little easier, but it was definitely a task that required tremendous mental strength.
Just then someone passed by Simone and placed a hand on her shoulder.
“Don’t be impatient and do your best.”
"What?"
It was Abel.
Abel was approaching the demons with his aura rising.
“I’ll buy you some time.”
And Abel disappeared in an instant.
Simone looked for Abel in confusion.
Abel had already gone far away and was destroying everything with just one sword.
A destructive force was worthy of a Sword Master. The bewildered demons stopped slaughtering and began to be wary of him alone.
Simone quickly squatted down and placed her hands on the floor.
To completely cover this large space, she would need to raise a significant amount of mana.
The mana inside her body quickly left and began to spread like smoke through the grass.
From there, her whole body was already shaking.
Strong enough to kill demons for sure, precise enough to not hurt anyone.
As Simone refined my mana, her breathing became more rapid and her headache became more severe.
But she can do it because Abel is buying her time.
If she changes the momentum just once, she will be able to move forward as planned.
When Abel finally reached the rift in the air, Simone was also able to complete all her preparations.
Flash!

Flash!
Simone opened her eyes.
Then she took in all the demons at the scene with her eyes.
Immediately afterward, the demons in the direction Simone's eyes landed began to melt away without a trace and mix with the mana.
Only then did Simone's expression brighten a little.
Simone, the demons who were killed by Abel, and even those who were sacrificed to the demons.
The death mana of all these people was absorbed by Simone and became her strength.
Moreover, their souls all become Simone's property.
There was a reason why she had to spend so much mana on the floor.
Simone plans to recover the souls she has consumed to curse Anasis here in preparation for the battle that will unfold from now on.
As long as Simone's Mana is maintained, all living beings who die here will become dependent on Simone's Mana.
“Hero... Thank, thank you...”
Simone stopped the soldiers who were looking at her with puzzled expressions and pointed ahead.
"Charge."
"yes?"
“Charge. We have to fight.”
How long are you going to let Abel fight this battle alone?
Only after Simone's words did they come to their senses and begin to run forward.
“Thank you, Simone!”
The soldiers stationed here are elite soldiers personally selected by the Emperor.
Now that they realize that there is a hero with overwhelming power standing in front and behind them, they will not hesitate any longer.
"Ha..."
Simone looked back.
Crown Prince Louis, who had been giving instructions from afar, had suddenly disappeared.
Perhaps he had become too tired to watch and entered the battlefield.
“Don’t lose focus!”
“If the crack gets any bigger, the soldiers won’t be able to hold out! We have to stop it no matter what!”
“My lord! We lack divine power here!”
“Eric! Go and replenish your divine power!”
Also, those with divine powers and magicians who were protected at the back of the battlefield were joining forces to try to close the rift in the air.
“Ugh!!!”
“Oh, I’m dying, aaah!”
Somewhere, screams and blood were flying, and somewhere else, the resolute voices of knights could be heard urging them not to lose their momentum.
Divine power and magic poured down in a straight line, creating countless branches behind her, while cannons placed on all sides added firepower.
Boom! Kwak! Pwah!
War, massacre.
The fear that if they were not stopped here, this gruesome sight would be seen throughout the empire, and the determination to never give in to the demons.
Simone, standing in the middle of a battlefield filled with countless emotions and voices, caught her breath and rekindled her mana.
This time, Mana's form was a little different.
The mana of death originally had a cold and dark aura, but the mana currently blooming in Simone's body gave off a much more unpleasant and sinister aura.
Simone's eyes glowed red.
As Geneon taught, curses are not simply the sending of ghosts to scare, kill, or dissuade someone.
“A curse is something that changes a person’s state. You have the power to change a person’s state. For example, you can use the weakening techniques and damage amplification techniques that wizards use by utilizing the curse technique. You may even be able to use it more easily than wizards.”
Hearing that, Simone thought.
'In terms of games, this means you can apply debuffs, right?'
In fact, when she read a book about the necromancer's skills in Serk, surprisingly, there were countless healthy curses described that had nothing to do with death.
She's been training with Geneon to learn a few helpful techniques, and the one that's perfect for use right now is this one.
As Simone stretched out her hand, the manas that had been staying next to her quickly shot out and covered the demons.
“Keeeeeek!!!!!”
“Ah, ahead...!”
“Hey, human!!!! What are you doing...!”
“Ugh, my body won’t move!!! Kyaaaaak!!!!”
Then, the demons who were fighting a little distance away suddenly started screaming and becoming panicked and excited.
The soldiers who were fighting them paused for a moment, then soon noticed the abnormal condition of the demons and began to kill them.
The mana and souls of the dead demons were naturally absorbed by Simone.
Simone chuckled.
Suitable skills? No such thing. I just threw everything I had at it because I didn't know what I liked.
Right now, there is probably no torture for those demons who have turned over mana.
Damage amplification and weakening are basic, and you won't be able to see or hear anything.
You may also see hallucinations of the most feared being appearing before your eyes.
The most painful thing of all is...
'It'll be hard to move your body.'
Because aging would have come in an instant and every part of you would have become dull and slow.
From the soldiers' perspective, they would feel that there was no easier battle than this, as they would just have to avoid the demons who were just waving their hands and feet and attacking them, and the damage would be amplified and they would die in an instant.
Simone got up, wiping the sweat off her sleeve.
'If Abel hadn't been there, we would have been in big trouble.'
As expected, the main character is the main character. Even Simone was flustered when he solved the problem right away.
Anyway, if we support and collect souls like this until the Demon King is resurrected...
"...Uh?"
Suddenly Simone looked up at the sky.
The already dark sky seemed to have gotten even darker. Simone's expression hardened.
'The moon is... red.'
When darkness falls and the moon in the sky turns blood red, this is...
Then the reporter in charge of communications shouted.
“They say the seal on Lake Atlantis has been broken!”
People began to get agitated by his words.
Louis also stopped fighting and looked up at the red moon in the sky. It was an unbelievably large moon that he had never seen before.
Looking at this, she felt as if the moon was draining her life force.
The tenth seal has been released. That means that when the next seal is released, the Demon King will be resurrected.
“Uh uh... Uh uh uh...”
“Um, what is that...?”
“What am I looking at right now...?”
People who had been staring blankly at the moon as if possessed turned their heads at the sound of several soldiers' voices. Then they sat down, groaning.
“I, I just can’t...”
A giant apparition appears over the lake. Something that looks like a monster or a demon.
Even the largest known species, the dragons, would be smaller than ants in front of that monster.
People realized it without anyone having to explain it to them.
That is the appearance of the Demon King that humanity must soon fight against.
The poison began to grow thicker. Some of the wounded soldiers began to collapse one by one, infected by the poison seeping through their wounds.
The more toxic the space is, the more active the demons become.
The demons as if they had never experienced any confusion, started to run wild and kill humans with even greater brutality.
Simone's expression changed. He connected the communication port with the same cold expression as Abel.
"Your Highness."
"...Phew, yes."
Louis' voice was still stiff as if he couldn't believe it.
Simone said, recovering all the mana she had left on the floor.
“People are all dying. They’re going to use it.”
"...All right."
If the Demon King is resurrected, the presence of the Demons will be a great hindrance to the battle. They cannot allow them to run wild.
Simone closed her eyes slowly. And then her lips began to turn black.
Then she took in all the demons at the scene with her eyes.
