A person possessed by the demon lord appear, aiming to kill the prince.
Luciana does "Get down Mr.President" and tank the hit.
Fight ensues
Then in the middle of that the cursed sword (vessel of demon lord) started cracking, and the demon lord noticed it's from 'saintess's power'
But it didn't sense her when it jumped in here, meaning it's just some lingering power.
So it tried to remember the flow of events...
Before it enter everything's fine, the prince and the mages weren't any issue.
It did hit Luciana...
Look at her
"Silver Saint Barrier"
Ultimate equipment of the saintess giving her max stat, regen, attack nullification and...
PURIFY AND COUNTER DEMON LORD'S POWER WITH DOUBLE POWER.
(btw it's more like a blessing to an equipment so the saintess can wear whatever and have this effect on them)
/oof
But it sense that Luciana isn't the saintess...
Then it noticed TWO MORE people with similar equipment (Luciana's mom and dad)
While mentally retorting how ridiculous the situation is.
clank
The sword got slash in half, by the prince.
He's like "uhh, you were completely open" then the prince looked back at Anne "umm, was I not supposed to do that?"
Anne "I don't know!"
Outside Luciana's dad slam into the barrier demon lord put up.
The gear effect kicks in, breaking a hole in the barrier.
Demon lord take this chance to escape with its spirit.
Goes on to possess a small, dying doggo.
Then it smell Luciana's scent and follows it to the residence.
It sense one person in there without any magic power.
So it decides it's safe and sneak in.
Well, Melody finds it, and in her anger at the doggo messing up the place, part of her normally 'perfectly suppressed' magic leaks out
Demon Lord (the silver colored magic! YOU're the saintess!?)
