54: Clarissa

After Clarissa confirmed that Jerome had indeed fled, she dispelled her Dragonkin Form and reverted to her original appearance.

Subsequently, with Clarissa's help, the monsters outside the Royal Capital were either killed or routed.

The crisis in Gewo Principality's Royal Capital was completely resolved!

Meanwhile, the convoy from Luming Town, hidden outside, had witnessed the entire process.

Everyone was deeply shocked by Clarissa's strength!

They had all noticed that Clarissa hadn't used her full strength when she was 'providing support,' but now they realized that it wasn't just 'not using full strength'—she hadn't used any strength at all!

Upon seeing the war end, the Luming Town convoy immediately headed towards the Royal Capital.

Some panicked monsters, seeing such a large group of human 'reinforcements' approaching them, shivered in fear and immediately detoured.

It was the first time the Luming Town convoy had seen monsters avoiding people, and everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

However, they didn't delay and rushed towards the Royal Capital without stopping.

Meanwhile, the people of the Royal Capital had all gathered, each looking at Clarissa with gazes and expressions of adoration, respect, and fervor.

The King of Gewo Principality stepped forward.

"Greetings! Great Black Flame Sword Princess!" The King bowed to Clarissa and said respectfully.

He had known she was the "Black Flame Sword Princess" when he heard Clarissa's shouts earlier.

"Greetings! Your Majesty!" Clarissa nodded at the King of Gewo Principality: "I have something I need to discuss with you!"

"No problem! Come! Please, come in!" The King said enthusiastically, walking forward. The surrounding guards instinctively followed, but the King waved his hand: "Eh! With the Black Flame Sword Princess here, you don't need to follow so closely!"

Hearing the King's words, the guards immediately stopped.

At this moment, someone reported that a team had arrived outside.

"Your Majesty! This is one of the things I wanted to talk about!" Clarissa immediately said to the King when she heard the person's report. The team approaching from outside was clearly the Luming Town convoy.

Then, Clarissa explained the matter of the relocation.

"Good news! Excellent news! I've wanted to do this for a long time, but unfortunately, the Royal Capital could only barely defend itself, and achieving this was quite difficult! But it doesn't matter! Now that the Black Flame Sword Princess is here! Everything is no longer a problem!" The King said excitedly upon hearing Clarissa's words.

If all the forces of Gewo Principality were gathered together, today's war wouldn't have been so difficult.

Of course, that was in normal circumstances, meaning when the Demon King and Demon King Species were not present.

For Gewo Principality, the Demon King Species could barely be resisted, but if a Demon King were to appear... for Gewo Principality, it would be a disaster!

"The matter of settling the Luming Town migration force will be left to your arrangements! And then, give me a map; I will gather the forces from various places as quickly as possible!" Clarissa said to the King: "If possible, gather the active forces from various places as quickly as possible. Secondly, expand the city area with the Royal Capital as the base!"

"Mm! The Black Flame Sword Princess is right! We'll do just that!" The King immediately nodded, agreeing to Clarissa's suggestion.

With the King's approval, and with Clarissa present.

Everyone immediately had a direction and a goal.

Clarissa's power to "defeat and drive away" the Demon King gave everyone a sudden sense of reliance; Clarissa's appearance was like a strong booster shot to their hearts.

While the King sent people to prepare a map for Clarissa, he asked Clarissa how they should proceed with the next steps.

"I don't understand anything about internal or external affairs; you can handle those matters! Our goal is self-preservation! It is to save the world, to defeat the Demon God!" Clarissa said to the King: "One step at a time! If possible, gathering the strength of the entire continent would be best!"

"Understood!" The King nodded, then, while having people prepare the map, he began to chat with Clarissa. He also wanted to know Clarissa's origin and identity.

"I am just an ordinary Savior Apostle..." Clarissa shook her head slightly and then explained her purpose for being there to the King. In short, she was just a passerby.

She was not a person of this world; she had only come here because of a divine mission!

There was no malice, only one goal: to save their world!

This made the King sincerely thank Clarissa, and at the same time, thank the god from another world behind Clarissa.

"So you are a Savior Apostle!" The King said excitedly, not expecting Clarissa to be a Savior Apostle!

However, he then said with emotion: "Our gods have already welcomed the Twilight of the Gods, the Demon God has descended upon the world, and monsters are rampant... This is a calamity for our entire world! Fortunately! There is still hope! I'll leave everything to you! Black Flame Sword Princess! No! Savior Apostle!"

"Mm..." Clarissa nodded, too lazy to correct the somewhat awkward titles like "Black Flame Sword Princess" and "Savior Apostle" that sounded a bit strange now.

Thinking about what she needed to do next, Clarissa said: "I'll rest for a bit; I need to contact my god for the next set of instructions. When the map is brought, just leave it aside for now!"

"Yes, yes! Black Flame Sword Princess, please make yourself at home! I will arrange the best and quietest room for you!" The King quickly called for someone to prepare a quiet room for Clarissa.

"Thank you!" Clarissa nodded her thanks and followed the person.

Meanwhile, the King immediately issued a series of commands, and various officials cooperated in their actions.

Whether it was cleaning up the battlefield, repairing various defensive facilities, settling the Luming Town team, or future planning, a detailed plan needed to be made. This was a very large undertaking.

Clarissa's so-called contact with her god was just an excuse; in reality, she wanted to check how many source points she had earned and give herself a boost.

2.58 million source points!

Clarissa was shocked when she saw her balance.

However, thinking about it, it seemed normal. She had killed a Demon King Species, repelled a Demon King, saved the Royal Capital, and the team from Luming Town had migrated, gathering some strength.

Adding her previous 600,000-plus source points, it meant she had gained 1.9 million source points in one go!

This was a huge harvest!

But even so, she was still about half away from the 5 million source points needed to upgrade to Dragon Blood Warrior.

Clarissa could not stop here. Having witnessed the power of the Demon King in this world, Clarissa deeply realized her own shortcomings.

She definitely couldn't save the world with just her own strength!

The stronger she was, the better! Otherwise, when encountering the Demon King Army, a single Demon King could tie her down, and that wouldn't do!

Clarissa wanted at least enough power to deal with three or more Demon Kings at once, and preferably enough to contend with the Demon God!

Furthermore, if they could gather the strength of the entire world, defeating the Demon King Army and sealing the Ancient Demon God should not be too difficult!

So Clarissa decided to give herself a power-up!

Especially high-tier combat skills; they had to be arranged!

Today's battle with the Demon King made Clarissa deeply aware of the inadequacy of her offensive methods.
