Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

'Divine Thought — Vibration Wave.'

The instant she threw her punch, the smile on the white-haired girl's face vanished without a trace.

In its place surged overwhelming killing intent and incomparable hatred toward the Abyss Demons.

Boundless white Holy Aura rapidly gathered within her iron fist.

And the moment it struck the Snow Devourer—

the immense power contained within the punch erupted violently.

"BOOM!!!!"

Accompanied by a heaven-shaking explosion,

the vast white energy detonated directly atop the Snow Devourer's head before the delighted eyes of the surviving soldiers.

An unstoppable wave of energy spread outward with explosive force.

Like a raging tsunami, it instantly swept through everything in its surroundings.

The blizzard that had enveloped the Snow Devourer and covered the entire fortress collapsed under this strike.

The fortress walls, already reduced to ruins, completely disintegrated under the impact of the shockwave, crumbling into dust before being swept away by the energy storm.

The Abyss Demons closest to the giant wolf suffered even more horribly.

The weaker ones were instantly shattered into nauseating piles of flesh and blood by the terrifying aftermath.

Even many powerful Abyss Demons collapsed unconscious after suffering severe damage to their souls.

As for the Snow Devourer herself—

after enduring the full force of the attack,

she was blasted backward nearly a thousand meters by the tremendous impact.

Along her path, hundreds of Abyss Demons were sent flying as her enormous body smashed into them, scattering them in all directions.

Once those Abyss Demons regained their bearings, they immediately fixed furious gazes upon the figure floating in the sky.

Not only them.

Virtually every Abyss Demon in and around Garos Fortress simultaneously focused their bloodthirsty eyes upon the white-haired girl.

Abyss Demons inherently loathed Holy Aura.

And the Holy Aura radiating from the girl was incomparably dense.

Naturally, it effortlessly provoked overwhelming killing intent within them.

"ROOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!"

For a moment, savage roars echoed across the heavens.

Countless Abyss Demons opened their enormous jaws.

The next instant,

thousands upon thousands of Desolation Cannons bombarded the sky like a torrential storm from every direction, launching a ferocious assault against the white-haired girl floating above.

Such destructive power could probably erase an entire city in an instant.

However,

facing this overwhelming barrage,

the white-haired girl's expression remained indifferent.

She merely raised a hand casually.

Boundless light-element Holy Aura erupted continuously from her body.

In an instant, an impregnable barrier of energy formed around her.

The Abyss Demons' seemingly unstoppable attacks collapsed the moment they struck the wall of light, disintegrating into countless black particles without leaving behind even the slightest threat.

Though the Abyss Demons continued attacking on instinct,

every subsequent assault met the exact same fate.

Utterly ineffective.

The white-haired girl simply floated quietly in the sky.

She had only one target in her eyes.

The Demon King-class existence before her—

the Snow Devourer.

As for the other Abyss Demons,

they posed absolutely no threat to her.

This girl was one of the only three Heavenly Apostles of Asumos Church.

The commander of Light of the Sun—

White Yama.

A genuine Eighth-Tier Sword God.

One of the Church's supreme combat powers.

—

Oh?

Looking at the giant white wolf in the distance, who was shaking her head and glaring viciously at her, White Yama revealed a slightly surprised expression.

In order to launch a surprise attack, she had devoted most of her Holy Aura to acceleration.

As a result, the attack's power had been noticeably reduced.

But even weakened,

the Divine Thought — Vibration Wave she had just used was more than powerful enough to instantly annihilate a Seventh-Tier Abyss Demon.

Yet,

after landing such an attack,

the only visible result seemed to be giving the giant wolf a middle-part hairstyle.

There didn't appear to be any actual damage.

As expected...

One of the six Demon King-class existences recorded by the Church truly lived up to her reputation.

Purely in terms of physical durability, she far surpassed ordinary human Eighth-Tiers.

However,

aside from physical toughness...

the rest wasn't all that impressive~

After carefully sensing the intensity of the Shadow of Silence Power surrounding the Snow Devourer, White Yama couldn't help revealing a teasing smile.

'Not as strong as I expected~'

Originally, White Yama's plan had been simple.

Temporarily drive back the Snow Devourer.

Then use her overwhelming Holy Aura to attract the attention of nearby Abyss Demons.

That way, she could create an opportunity for the Child of Destiny and the surviving civilians of Garos Fortress to escape.

Once everyone had evacuated,

she could slip away as well.

But now...

Another possibility seemed far more appealing.

Eliminate every Abyss Demon here—

including the Snow Devourer herself.

After all, the reason she had trained so obsessively all these years was to kill these terrifying Demon King-class monsters.

Now that such an opportunity had appeared before her,

she couldn't let it go to waste.

At that thought,

the killing intent in White Yama's eyes transformed into overwhelming fighting spirit.

The endless Holy Aura pouring from her body caused her entire presence to undergo a dramatic transformation.

Her terrifying aura twisted the surrounding space itself.

Even the savage Abyss Demons nearby began feeling a pressure that reached directly into their souls.

An eerie pale-pink radiance bloomed within her eyes.

At the same time,

pure white light brimming with destructive power gradually enveloped the black sword at her waist.

The next moment,

White Yama slowly drew the black blade from its sheath.

Then she pointed its tip directly at the Snow Devourer's forehead.

"Die."

The instant those words left her lips,

the Holy Aura surrounding {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} White Yama exploded violently.

Her entire figure transformed into a streak of white lightning,

charging toward the giant wolf with unstoppable force.

Meanwhile,

Limo had mostly recovered from her mild concussion.

At this moment, however, her heart was already overflowing with endless fury.

The ferocity hidden within her was completely awakened by White Yama's attack.

Her crimson vertical pupils burned with overwhelming killing intent and chilling brutality.

Although the attack hadn't caused any real damage,

it had turned her bald!!!

Mother loved her beautiful fur!

And this woman had actually ruined it?!

Even if it would grow back soon,

such a crime was absolutely unforgivable!!!

No.

Wait.

But...

That woman...

That Holy Aura...

A Heavenly Apostle of Asumos Church?!

The realization caused a trace of hesitation to appear in Limo's eyes.

According to Mother's instructions, they weren't supposed to attack these powerful Church figures on their own initiative.

At the very least, not openly.

Just a few days ago, Mother had thoroughly scolded her for killing one of the Earth Apostles.

And now she was going to attack a Heavenly Apostle?

Not to mention Mother was nearby.

She had to be watching.

Limo had already caused plenty of trouble.

If she disobeyed again...

Wuuuuuuuu...

Mmmm...

Maybe she should just retreat?

Limo couldn't help feeling deeply conflicted.

Faced with White Yama's rapidly approaching assault,

the giant wolf suddenly developed an overwhelming desire to flee.

She instinctively began retreating at incredible speed.

The sight was almost absurd.

'Wait... can wolves even run backward?'

However,

just as the little wolf sank deeper and deeper into anxiety and confusion,

a familiar voice suddenly echoed within her mind.

Gentle.

Beautiful.

Warm.

The moment she heard it, Limo's pupils contracted.

'You don't need to worry so much. Fight.'

'Eh?? M-Mother??!!'

The instant she heard Yumo's voice, Limo immediately became like a child caught doing something bad.

Trembling nervously, she hurriedly replied in her mind.

'M-Mother, th-that attack just now... I wasn't trying to... I mean, I didn't mean to... I-I just wanted to...' 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

'We'll settle that matter after we get home. For now, focus on the Heavenly Apostle in front of you. Be serious.'

'Uh... understood. But... serious?'

'That's right. Stop holding back. Release your power.'

'...'

'I want to see for myself just how capable one of Asumos Church's Heavenly Apostles really is.'

A faint smile appeared on Yumo's lips.

'Let's see exactly how much weight the so-called peak combat power of this continent carries~'
