That battle was the key one to reclaim Miss Gabriella and Elsa.
All knights above king level continued advancing under Lady Gabriella’s leadership.
Unexpectedly, they were all ambushed by apostles who controlled shadows.
To allow all of humanity’s elites to survive, Gabriella chose to stay behind alone, protecting the lives of the vast majority.
In the end, controlled by Isabella, she expressed loyalty to the Demon King in front of everyone.
Miss Ice Saint Tina and she were both powerless; after being captured, they still had no way out.
Philina just watched helplessly as Miss Tina chose to stay behind, facing that endless darkness alone.
And Miss Elsa.
She chose to join the demons; after being controlled, she resolutely left the human camp.
She had certainly thought that Miss Ice Saint might share the same fate as Gabriella… but she hadn’t expected this day to come so quickly.
“Um, it’s Miss Philina~? Miss Philina.”
The girls turned their gazes toward her one after another.
Their originally hawk-like sharp eyes had now been tamed into an obedient appearance, as if mocking Philina; the ice-blue horns and deep blue spiral horns rubbed against each other, like conveying some obscure and ambiguous message; their slender legs wrapped in white stockings intertwined, the two not hiding their affections for each other at all.
Their fingers interlocked like a pair of lovers deeply in love, continuously falling into the dark abyss, licking each other’s wounds, and finally fully accepting the darkness from the abyss.
Philina was somewhat breaking down.
How were they still the Grand Commander and Miss Ice Saint?
They were outright two high-tier demons, just without having grown impressive wings yet.
And Miss Tina’s body, which had fused with the adjudicator, had already been eroded by shadows, becoming her current form.
Along with it, the adjudicator’s triangular pattern was exposed, as if she had become one of the evil god’s world-destroying tools at any moment.
I’m sorry…
Tears overflowed from the corners of Philina’s eyes; she could leave this place at any time, but what about them?
What about Elsa and Tina?
They could only allow the darkness to erode them, striving to maintain rationality yet unable to resist that seductive darkness that bewitched the mind, ultimately leaving only their dependence on each other as a morbid, twisted emotion, becoming demons.
“It’s all my fault, all because of me, all me…”
Philina knelt on the ground; she realized she was truly too useless.
Every time, every time she watched the people she admired walk into the abyss with her own eyes.
It was like this when she was human, and even more so after becoming a heavenly oracle envoy.
“Woo~? Miss Philina, did something happen?”
Elsa stepped forward, squatted down, and stroked her cute back, a tolerant smile rising on her face.
“It’s nothing, I’m fine.”
Only then did Philina remember her mission.
The reason she had come to the residential palace was precisely to find Miss Olivia.
But she also had to save Elsa, save Miss Tina.
“Two pitiful girls, righteous female knights—they should not fall and become puppets of the evil god.”
Elsa’s movements were very gentle as she helped Philina up.
This showed her inherently kind heart.
“Miss Philina, become a maid.”
Simona walked to her side, looking at her with a caring gaze.
“Don’t worry, no one can hurt you; we haven’t lost yet.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course.”
Hope’s fire ignited in Philina’s eyes, because Simona seemed like the one still maintaining rationality.
Miss Holy Queen was hinting to her that everything could still be salvaged.
She couldn’t leave right now; everyone here would become the demons’ combat power when war began, fighting fiercely against their past companions.
The evil god might use them as hostages, or energy packs, or tools to humiliate humanity.
No matter what…
To meet Miss Olivia, some preparatory work was indeed needed.
She looked at Miss Elsa, who was linking arms with her, watching that heart-shaped tail representing corruption sway back and forth; her heart ached, and even her expression softened.
“I, okay, I agree with you.”
Philina’s voice carried a hint of sobbing.
Afterward, she followed Elsa to the changing room to find a suitable maid outfit.
“Philina’s little belly is so pretty~ It’ll be very popular.”
Hearing the praise from the two knights, a complex emotion she couldn’t describe immediately arose in her heart.
“Um.”
Philina seemed to have been treated as one of their kind.
In Elsa’s eyes, she was the next object to be corrupted, sent over by Miss Simona.
The back of the maid skirt had a diamond-shaped opening, as if to facilitate a tail extending out.
For her, who was still a heavenly oracle envoy, it provided no help at all, only exposing the skin that accentuated her figure’s lines.
To adapt to her past habits, Elsa also changed her into a style with black stockings.
Philina sat on the table, sandwiched front and back by the two maids, and put on the maid outfit amid shyness and unease.
There was always a feeling that once worn, she could never go back.
I hope Miss Morphis is still waiting for me…
“Comfortable, Philina?”
Just as she recalled Morphis’s reminder in her mind, remembering that Lady Olivia might be suffering brainwashing and erosion, Tina stroked her shoulders from behind, like a succubus’s low murmur.
“I, I… I’m okay.”
She replied, her face already red beyond recognition.
Philina considered herself a powerful magic martial saint, yet this was the first time wearing such a cute outfit.
It was like it was to please someone, but indeed, it was quite soft and comfortable.
Philina now wanted to know more where Miss Simona was.
Is it really okay to completely leave me to Elsa and Tina?
Does it mean I need to change into a maid outfit to continue the mission?
Or perhaps, as a human, she still believed in the heavenly oracle envoy’s abilities, believing she could send the two maids out of the abyss?
Philina suddenly understood everything.
“Sigh… Blend into these demons. As long as I disguise as a maid, I can look harmless like Elsa and blend into these demons.”
Still somewhat unaccustomed to the tight binding at her waist, she tried walking a few steps; the small leather shoes landed on the ground without a sound, a slight coolness under the skirt.
“Ha~”
It always felt extremely shameful.
Unexpectedly, the two knights at this moment were staring at her blankly; just as she wanted to ask what happened, Elsa smiled and said, “Miss Philina is so cute.”
“Don’t say that…”
The original Miss Elsa should maintain knightly spirit; the reason she was so soft and cute now was only because she had fallen into the evil god’s trap.
But with Miss Elsa’s help, it felt like all this could be easily adapted to.
