Basilisk who had been cut into two was squirming violently on the ground.
ïŒI never thought I could cut it so easily with my beamâŠïŒ
Mylia was stunned for a moment that the fight was over just like that, but then she recalled what Titania said, âDonât let your guard down until youâre sure that itâs deadâ.
ïŒMonsters, especially dragons, have a high regeneration ability. I canât rest assured yet⊠wind magic, activate⊠Cat Guillotine!ïŒ
Mylia moved to right above Basilisk and made a giant guillotine made of wind.
She once saw a guillotine in a history book, and she remembered that her nape got cold when she saw it.
ïŒA real guillotine looks scary, so I made the upper part of the blade in the shape of a cute cat!ïŒ
To make it not look as scary as the real guillotine, Mylia made it as if there was a cat sitting on top of the blade while sipping a cup of tea. Other people who saw it would probably think that was a weird way to use wind magic.
ïŒIt might try to run away so itâs best if I add an auto-tracking utility.ïŒ
After modifying the spell a little, Mylia released the blade, and then the oversized guillotine blade made of wind fell toward Basiliskâs head.
SHAAAA!!
Basilisk realized that its life was in danger and took evasive action immediately. However, the blade started moving on its own, aiming for the head of Basilisk who tried to dodge, and cut it off.
ïŒAlright! Now, Gravity Magic, activate!ïŒ
Mylia immediately activated her gravity magic to make the entire body of Basilisk float and prevent its blood from spilling.
ïŒItâs time to collect the blood.ïŒ
Mylia approached Basilisk to collect its blood, but surprisingly, it was still alive despite having been cut into three pieces. It glared at Mylia, trying to use its petrification power on her again.
ăUwah! So youâre still alive⊠But too bad, your petrification curse will never work against me!ă
Mylia glared back at Basilisk while recalling that the dying dragon in front of her had made a lot of people suffer.
After Basilisk realized that it would never be able to defeat the cute girl with an intimidating look in front of it, it decided to give up.
The dragon gradually lost its strength, and then its whiskers finally stopped moving as it closed its eyes.
ïŒIs it deadâŠ? Itâs dead, right? Phew⊠I wonder if I beat Masterâs time.ïŒ
Because Titania wanted to act cool in front of Mylia, she told her that she could defeat Basilisk in less than five seconds, but actually, it would take her at least ten minutes to do it.
After confirming that Basilisk was dead, Mylia took out a large container made of silver from her magic bag. She made it in advance to collect Basiliskâs blood.
Strangely, not much blood was coming out from the upper and lower body parts, so Mylia put the tub below Basiliskâs head and started collecting the blood that was spilling out from the neck.
ïŒIt has a huge body so I thought I could get more bloodâŠïŒ
Basilisk didnât have much blood despite its huge body. After collecting blood for a while, the amount Mylia got was only enough to fill a small bathtub. The color of the blood was blue, giving off a creepy atmosphere.
After that, she took out a large lid and closed the silver container that was filled with Basiliskâs blood, then put it in her magic bag.
Because she only needed a little to make the potion for Ariaâs grandma, she then took out an empty vial from her magic bag, collected some more blood and put it in her magic bag.
ăPhew⊠Now we can save Aria-sanâs grandma!ă
After collecting the blood, Mylia let out a sigh of relief.
She then stared at severed head of Basilisk that was still floating in the air with sparkling eyes.
ăNow itâs time to collect the meat!ă
First, she used Wind Blade to separate the head from the base of the neck and put the head in her magic bag.
She then carefully removed the scales attached to the neck with Wind Blade. By the way, Titania taught her how to remove the scales properly.
After that, she put the scales and upper and lower body parts into her magic bag, and what was left was only the neatly sliced neck meat.
ïŒHoo~ Itâs pinkish-white and looks delicious⊠I canât wait to taste it!ïŒ
While wondering how it tasted, Mylia put the neck meat in her magic bag as well.
ïŒI hated seeing blood at first when I lived in Atwoodâs mansion, but now Iâm completely used to butchering monsters⊠Itâs all thanks to Master.ïŒ
Originally, Basilisk could only be killed with at least thirty royal magicians, moreover, there would definitely be victims who were hit by the petrification curse in the process. However, it only took Mylia a couple of minutes to do it.
If Queen Kushana were to see how Mylia killed Basilisk with just a few attacks, she would invite her to a luxurious banquet in her castle for sure.
The sun was about to set by the time Mylia was ready to get home.
As Mylia flew higher, she saw the traces of the battle between her and Basilisk in the area near the pink carpet of cherry peach trees.
ïŒAlright. Aria-san is waiting for me. I need to hurry.ïŒ
Mylia wanted to eat the meat but she decided to go back to school first.
ăMaster, are you watching~? Aria-san is waiting for me so Iâm going back to school now! After that, letâs eat the meat together~!ă
Mylia waved to Titania, who was watching over her with clairvoyance, and imagined Titania smiling and waving back at her.
She then used teleportation magic, heading to the Royal Girls Academy.
âŻâŻâŻ
After teleporting twenty times, Mylia arrived at the meeting location which was at the back of the flowerbed with a statue of Goddess Celis in the courtyard. That spot was a perfect secret meeting place because it couldnât be seen from the courtyard or the hallway.
ïŒHahhh⊠Iâm tired⊠I may have a lot of magical power but I donât have much staminaâŠïŒ
Mylia took out a groundsheet made of monster skin from her magic bag and put it on the ground. She then took out a tea set and waited for Aria while enjoying tea.
ăMylia-san!ă(Aria)
A while after, Aria came. She put her hand on her chest and let out a sigh of relief as soon as she found Mylia.
ăIâm glad youâre okay.ă(Aria)
ăAria-san, I completed the mission!ă(Mylia)
Mylia smiled at Aria and raised a thumbs-up. Aria then returned her smile.
ăIâve also successfully gathered the other materials thanks to the money you lent. Mylia-san, thank you very much.ă(Aria)
Aria bowed to Mylia with a beautiful form as she thanked her.
ăHehe, Donât worry about it. Weâre friends.ă(Mylia)
Mylia was a little embarrassed.
She stood up and put the tea set and the groundsheet in her magic bag.
ăWell then, shall we go to see Peter-san now?ă(Mylia)
ăYeah, letâs go.ă(Aria)
âŻâŻâŻ
Mylia and Aria used a hole that was created by Myliaâs Magic Ray when she fought Peter as a shortcut to the underground maze. If Daemon were still alive and found out about that, he would be crying behind a bush.
Peter was waiting for them when they entered his room. He had already completed the preparations to make the potion.
ăPeter-san, we brought the materials.ă(Mylia)
Peter was trembling for a moment when Mylia showed him the vial that filled with Basiliskâs blood.
ăItâs fresh, I see. How about the other materials?ă(Peter)
ăI have them here.ă(Aria)
Aria took out a wild yam, a crescent moon flower, a magic truffle, a jujumbe grass, a magic stone and a small bottle of holy water from her magic bag.
ăHoo⊠You even got the holy water. Well done.ă(Peter)
ăMy father has a lot of connections, and I can get them all because of it.ă(Aria)
ăI see. Youâre lucky that your father is a duke. Alright then, Iâm gonna make the potion for you.ă(Peter)
ăThank you, Peter-sama.ă(Aria)
Aria was shaking as she thanked Peter. She was excited that the time she had been waiting for had finally come.
ăPlease wait there for a while.ă(Peter)
ăUnderstood.ă(Aria)
ăOkay~ă(Mylia)
Mylia and Aria sat on the chairs in Peterâs room as Peter went to his lab to make the potion.
While waiting, Mylia told Aria how she defeated Basilisk. Aria was listening to Mylia with an excited face while saying, âWhoa!â and âAwesome!â all the time.
After about thirty minutes, Peter came out of his lab with a small vial in his hand.
ăItâs done. You just need to pour it down your grandmaâs body from her head, then it will surely dispel the petrification curse.ă(Peter)
ăAria-san, we can finally save your grandma!ă(Mylia)
