"Teacher! Is there really no other way?! Fir has only been practicing the most basic healing magic for a few weeks and he's already grasped intermediate healing magic. With his abilities, he could definitely become the fastest to reach the level of a Saint. If we cut him off, he'll lose the possibility of using light magic!"

Upon hearing Uncle George's words, Yabber quickly spoke up, "But if he becomes a Fallen Wing, won't we just have another terrifying enemy?"

Uncle George's statement left Yabber unsure of how to respond.

"Hmph, what kind of man bullies a young girl? Are you just going to randomly cut off people's potential to use magic? Is that the meaning of your teachings? Your weakness forces others to bear the pain, is that it?"

"We make decisions for the greater good! Do you know how dark the world was when dark magic was rampant?"

"Magic is just a tool! It's people who decide how to use it! Darkness isn't in magic, it's in people's hearts! After living for so long, don't you understand such a simple truth? Your so-called peace is based on imposed systems and absolute restrictions, and you know it yourself! Your restrictions only limit the possibilities for the lower class, and your actions are not for the benefit of the majority, but for those in power!"

I took a step towards Uncle George.

"Am I wrong?"

"...".

"Fool, what are you doing?! Are you trying to confront these people head-on? That guy is a Saint, a member of the largest religious organization on this continent! Are you crazy to provoke them?!"

Aliyah's message appeared on the notification board.

I glanced at it and replied, "Didn't you steal all the skill books from your school? What are you worried about?"

"You..."

Aliyah didn't reply further, but I saw her slowly leaving the crowd unnoticed.

"I, George Bayer, in the name of a Saint, declare Lin Fir as a dangerous criminal. Now, the purge begins!"

"Master! What are you..."

Before Yabber could finish speaking, a white light enveloped him, rendering him immobile.

I looked around.

Everyone stared at George as he slowly walked towards me without any response.

I smiled.

Even if I am famous, under absolute authority, none of you dare say anything, right?

But...

I can understand, after all, in this situation, the actions I take are no different from theirs if I put myself in their shoes.

"Dangerous criminal, huh? Not bad. But I haven't done anything and yet I'm already labelled as a dangerous criminal. Do you think the people would feel chilled knowing this?"

"Compared to you becoming someone who uses dark magic for evil, sacrificing you is nothing."

"So that's why I said, I'm just bored and using dark magic for evil. Besides, I don't even know dark magic, do I?"

"In that case, I'll cut off your wings!"

"Sigh..."

I sighed.

"It seems you're unable to communicate."

"Do you see it? This is the church that becomes the guardians of the system. Hahaha, do you regret fighting against me today?"

Pombo, covered by the white cage, laughed while looking at me.

At this moment, his HP was only 10 points, probably controlled by the white cage.

"Look at Alvin on the ground. Even though she was abandoned, she sacrificed herself to overthrow the hypocritical Light Church! The traps on her were set by herself! Do you have the same determination?"

"Shut up!"

George waved his hand, turning the entire cage into a white box, cutting off Pombo's voice.

Alvin on the ground... she had already been covered with a white cloth, but from the red bloodstain on her chest and the empty HP bar, I knew she was already dead.

"Hmph! I'll ask you one more time, do you want your wings cut off, or do you want to be judged!""......"

Broken wings?

Impossible! This is the foundation of unlimited use of light magic that I worked so hard to obtain. Although I don't know what will happen when contaminated, so what!

I am not human!

How could the limitations of human wings apply to me?

"Accelerate! Featherlight! Illusion!"

Although my wings are broken, since the key buttons for flying skills haven't turned grey, it means I can still fly!

I transform into eight illusions and take off in eight different directions!

"Trivial trick!"

Countless light swords rain down from the sky, annihilating my illusions one by one.

However...

Are you kidding? Do you think I only know how to use illusions?

In my invisible state, I dash directly to Alvin's corpse, collect her body into the ring, then I fold up my wings and lie under the white cloth.

Turtle breath technique!

My entire being becomes like a corpse, and I focus my attention on listening to the sounds outside.

"Hmm? Disappeared?"

Don't discover me, don't discover me...

Just as I'm thinking this, a giant sword directly pierces through my chest!

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

"Why is the corpse screaming?"

I jump up from the ground, then draw out the light sword.

"It seems the light sword doesn't affect you, but once your wings are completely corrupted, you won't even be able to grab the sword!"

"That's not necessarily true! Ice sword summoning!"

With a sword in each hand, I charge directly at the opponent!

"Ridiculous!"

In an instant, I am directly knocked away by an unseen attack! I crash into a nearby building.

My HP bar is dangerously close to the critical point, one more hit and I'll be done for.

But...

If I die now, Lin Fir will cease to exist.

This identity will disappear.

"Lin Fir! What are you persisting for? Are those wings more important than your life?"

"For you...um...are wings not...something more important than life?"

I reply with a smile while spitting blood.

"You...hypocrite..."

The opponent smiles, then walks to my side.

"Killing you is troublesome for me too, but this way, you won't be able to stop me from cutting your wings, right?"

This guy... actually came up with this idea...

But, I'm not one to be taken lightly either.

"Watch out on your right~"

Just as I finish speaking, a sword shadow directly passes through the position George Uncle was in just now, followed by countless ice arrows.

"Stay away from Fir!"

Yaling and Princess Michelle rush to the front.

"The Ais Empire propose a formal intervention. As the National Mage of the Ais Empire, Lin Fir has the right to use dark magic. According to the continent's regulations, the Church has no right to intervene!"

Damn it! I was even ready to sacrifice myself righteously, and yet you guys...

"Hey, hey, can you come out any faster?"

"Idiot! Are you in a hurry to die? Preparing the documents takes time! What are you going to do after you die?"

"......"

I roll my eyes, then continue speaking.

"George Uncle, you see that, please heal me~"

"You..."

"Oh, by the way."

I spread out my Angel Wing, then cast two medium healing spells on myself.

"No need to trouble you~"
