Chapter 109 - Chapter 109: Sacred

World of Konosuba.

The Demon King's officers began to pray for the Headless Horseman.

After all, this guy had died inexplicably once before.

He must have kicked the bucket here again.

But this is clearly a beginner town—how could it possibly wipe out the Headless Horseman?

Because there's a goddess here?... But she doesn't seem powerful at all...

They were initially afraid of the goddess, but now she doesn't seem threatening in the slightest.

Mainly, Aqua is just too pathetic....

"Achoo! Achoo!"

Aqua sneezed several times and rubbed her reddened eyes.

"Haaah…"

"Kazuma, can't we find a place to sleep? It's too cold here…"

Aqua didn't want to keep moving. It would still take several days to return.

"Just hang on a little longer… There's no town around here…"

Kazuma carried the sleeping Megumin on his back and dragged Darkness along, sighing as he gazed at the desolate, uninhabited plains.

Ever since the video was broadcast, it felt like his luck had taken a nosedive recently.

Maybe it's because of Aqua...

[Scene continues]

[The Headless Horseman couldn't believe that Darkness's curse had been lifted by a mere rookie high priest…]

[Aqua paid no mind and began taunting him wildly…]

[Kazuma listened, cheeks puffed with frustration, to Aqua's extremely sarcastic remarks. If it were anyone else, their mental state would've shattered!]

[Sure enough, the Headless Horseman was so enraged that he threatened to slaughter the entire town!]

["A mere undead, how dare you act so arrogantly!"]

[Aqua gathered golden light in her hand and aimed it at the Headless Horseman…]

[The Headless Horseman looked at Aqua with disdain, making no move to evade…]

["How could a novice adventurer's magic possibly…?"]

[——Turn Undead——]

[Golden particles of light, like tiny sprites, drifted gently toward the Headless Horseman…]

["Eeeek!!!!!!"]

[The Headless Horseman let out a piercing shriek. The mount beneath him was instantly purified, and he fell to the ground, writhing in agony…]

["Aha… Ah ha ha… Aha…"]

[A cloud of dust billowed from the ground…]

["Oh~"]

[Kazuma saw that Aqua's attack was so effective. It seemed Aqua had no impact on ordinary monsters, but worked wonders on the undead!]...

Overlord World

"This goddess's purification magic is simply the natural enemy of the undead!"

Ainz could sense the purifying aura even through the screen.

The low-level undead around him seemed drawn to the dawn, approaching one after another as if seeking redemption…...

Not just Ainz, but countless powerful beings who had become undead could feel this energy—a chance for their souls to be saved.

She truly is a goddess; this divine power is utterly terrifying...

[On screen]

[The thick smoke gradually cleared, and the Headless Horseman rose halfway…]

[The airheaded goddess frowned at the scene, shocked. She turned to look at Kazuma…]

["Kazuma… this is weird… My magic didn't work!"]

[Kazuma looked at her, puzzled: "It seemed pretty effective—he even screamed!"]

[The Headless Horseman broke into a cold sweat. How could this guy's purification magic be so strong?…]

["You… are you really a beginner?"]

["This town is supposed to be a beginner's area, right?"]

[The Headless Horseman was growing suspicious. This beginner town couldn't actually be a retirement home for overpowered veterans…]

[No, better play it safe—just in case there really are powerful figures here…]

["Never mind… No need for me to handle this personally…"]

[All around the Headless Horseman, undead creatures began pouring out from the ground…]

["Death Knights!"]

["Make these people taste hell!"]

[Seeing this, Kazuma immediately guessed the Headless Horseman's intention and pointed at him, mocking:]

["He must be scared because of Aqua's magic!"]

[The airheaded goddess nodded vigorously, agreeing completely. After all, she was a goddess—how could her attacks be useless against a mere undead!]

[Hearing this, the Headless Horseman grew anxious. He could never admit to something so shameful!]

["How could the boss make the first move?… The underlings go first!"]

[——Sacred Turn Undead——]

[Before the airheaded goddess could finish, another powerful purification spell descended upon the Headless Horseman…]

["Huh?"]

[The Headless Horseman stared in horror at the magic circle suddenly materializing beneath his feet, followed by a pillar of holy light shooting skyward, engulfing him…]

["Eeeek!!!!!!"]

["Ah… My eyes… my eyes…"]

[The Headless Horseman's heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the town…]

[The airheaded goddess broke into a cold sweat. Her attack hadn't finished him—how useless!]

[Terrified, she backed away several steps…]

["How… what do we do… Kazuma…"]

["My purification magic is useless…"]....

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba World

"Tanjiro, did that not work?" Inosuke, the boar-headed boy, asked through a mouthful of buns.

"It should have… After all, he screamed like that…"

"No demon has ever screamed that miserably…"

Tanjiro wasn't entirely sure. He couldn't see any visible injuries, and he didn't know what kind of creatures these undead were.

But they were definitely much stronger than demons.

"I wonder if there's a goddess in our world. If there is, I hope she can purify the demons…"

Tanjiro glanced gently at Nezuko in her box, then gazed firmly into the distance.

Even if their world lacked divine favor…

He would definitely find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human!...

[On screen…]

[The Headless Horseman knelt on one knee, the death energy around him significantly purified, dissipating into the air…]

["Never mind!"]

["Kill everyone in this town!"]

[The Headless Horseman's eyes glowed crimson. The Death Knights received their orders and began charging toward the adventurers!]

[Panic spread among the town's adventurers. There were few high priests among them, and holy water was in short supply!]

[The Headless Horseman was pleased to see everyone in such disarray…]

["Good, your desperate cries—let me hear them…"]

["Huh? ? ?"]

[The Death Knights didn't charge at the adventurers as expected… Instead, they chased after the airheaded goddess…]

["Why are you chasing me?!!"]

[The airheaded goddess broke into a sprint, bewildered as to why they were targeting her…]

[The lost undead were likely following their instincts, seeking salvation from the goddess…]

[Suddenly, the airheaded goddess ran toward Kazuma—after all, they were comrades in misery…]

["Kazuma! Kazuma!"]

[Seeing the army of Death Knights, Kazuma was terrified and started running too…]

["Ah… wait… Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa!!!"]

[Kazuma fled in fear, with Aqua hot on his heels…]

["You idiot, don't come this way!"]

["I'll treat you to dinner tonight, so get lost!!"]

[Kazuma looked at the gathering undead army and hatched a plan…]

["Megumin! Get ready to cast Explosion!"]

["Aqua! Follow me!"]

[The two began kiting the monsters, leading them toward the Headless Horseman…]

["Megumin!!!"]

[Megumin, spotting the perfect opportunity, began casting her explosion magic!]

["I am Megumin! The greatest archmage of the Crimson Demon Clan! The one who wields explosion magic!"]

["Come, experience my power!"]

[——Explosion——]

[A massive orb of magic condensed above the Headless Horseman and instantly shot downward, striking the ground!]

[Boom!!!]

[The explosion once again shook the earth, sending a small mushroom cloud dozens of meters into the air!]

["Aah ah ah ah ah!!!"]

[The screams even drowned out the explosion…]

[A crater over ten meters deep formed beneath the Headless Horseman, wisps of white smoke rising from it…]

[The adventurers hiding behind cheered, thinking the Headless Horseman had been defeated!]

["We did it! That mentally challenged Crimson Demon girl succeeded!"]

["She might have a screw loose, but she delivers when it counts!"]

["I'm impressed! That girl with brain issues!"]

[However… The Headless Horseman emerged from the crater, glaring darkly at the adventurers…]

[He was truly furious now!]

[In an instant, he struck down several adventurers…]

[Fear gripped everyone's hearts…].....

Hans, one of the Demon King's Army cadres, looked disdainfully at these adventurers.

"You underestimate the Headless Horseman too much—he's incredibly powerful!"

The massive slime lounged in the hot spring he'd recently discovered, enjoying life.....

[Just as the other adventurers hesitated to act, Darkness stepped forward!]

[The Headless Horseman raised his greatsword and swung it down at her!]

[Boom!]

[The tremendous force pinned Darkness down, yet she continued pressing the attack!]

["Let's settle this! Beldia!!"]

["Ha! Hey!"]

[Darkness swiftly swung her sword multiple times, slashing through the Headless Horseman's body!]

[Boom! Boom!]

[The boulders on either side shattered under Darkness's fierce assault!]

["Huh? ? ?"]

[The Headless Horseman was baffled—why didn't he feel any impact?…]

[Meanwhile, Darkness's face flushed red with embarrassment…]

[Kazuma, watching from nearby, felt secondhand shame…]

["Ah… this is so annoying… She can only hit stationary targets… how embarrassing!"]

["This child is my companion!"]

[The Headless Horseman had had enough. He slashed Darkness away with his sword…]

[Even with her armor shattered and clothes torn, Darkness stood her ground before him!]

[The perverted remarks from Darkness's mouth continued to unnerve the Headless Horseman…]

[Kazuma seized the chance to cast water magic, but the Headless Horseman easily dodged…]

[Yet Kazuma discovered the Headless Horseman's weakness: water!]

[The adventurers kept casting water magic, but the spells' range was too small to hit effectively…]

[At that moment, the airheaded goddess walked up to Kazuma and asked doubtfully:]

["Hey, Kazuma, what are you doing? Are you an idiot?"]

[Hearing this, Kazuma's veins bulged. He glared at the airheaded goddess, resisting the urge to hit her…]

["That guy's weakness is water. You, this useless goddess, must have some way to summon water!"]

[Aqua puffed out her cheeks indignantly and placed her hands on her hips…]

["You, this rude fellow, are about to learn your lesson… The water I summon can cause floods!"]

["Apologize to me right now!"]

[Kazuma looked reluctant—apologize? Not in this lifetime!]

["You good-for-nothing goddess, hurry up!"]

[Aqua was instantly deflated by Kazuma's words, tears welling in her eyes:]

["You need to experience the power of a goddess!"]

[A massive magic circle appeared beneath Aqua's feet, and aqua-blue energy gathered above her head…]

["This magic… not good!"]

[The Headless Horseman was terrified and tried to flee. If this hit him, he'd be done for… Though he was already dead…]

[But just as he attempted to escape, Darkness grabbed hold of him…]

["Let go! You perverted female knight!"]

[——Holy Water Generation——]

[As Aqua spoke, a gigantic ring of light appeared in the sky…]

[In an instant… a torrential downpour cascaded like a waterfall…]

[The Headless Horseman, unable to escape, was struck head-on…]

[And not just him…]

[Adventurers, the town—everything was flooded by this deluge from the heavens…]
