Divine Materialization-class sorcery: Luxa.
Talk about convenient.
To think I'd be forced to bestow divine sorcery on these kinds of fools.
They all turned out different.
I saw some kind of language I couldn't read.
Can't say I like that.
My research into divine magic will proceed more efficiently with multiple hands.
Go ahead and create a path for them so that they don't need to perform a ritual.
I might have made an exception for you, Prince Lloyd,
but I've only done that for one other person in the history of—
Also, you stand out too much like that.
Can't you shrink down more like Grim?
You'd ask me to take on this horrible, gremlin-like form, Prince Lloyd?!
Yeah, you heard him. Get a move on.
Or what, you mean to tell me you can't handle basic metamorphosis?
Is it because you're a dumbass?
How dare you, you imbecilic infernal?!
Behold, the divine grace with which an angel transforms!
Ta-daaa
What do you think, Prince Lloyd?
Overwhelmed with the urge to embrace me, aren't you?
Here you are, Lloyd.
He's not even looking.

Episode 15: Ghoul Hunt
So, that whole thing with Escher's recital was divine sorcery too, right?
It was. Purification-class divine sorcery.
It heals wounds, as well as exorcising the undead, ethereals, and demons.
The undead...
We're back, boss.
Feels like I had a bad dream...
You're that pain in the ass kid from the church!
You two are from Lordost, huh?
You're really in for it, now that we've found you!
Let's kick his scrawny ass, boss!
Boss?!
I'm not clear on the specifics,
but I'm hoping one finger will be enough to make up for it.
Whoa, whoa, none of that, now.
Sorry about them, Lloyd.
The people of Lordost are pretty rowdy.
Luckily, the hierarchy around here is decided by who's strongest,
which saves us a lot of trouble.
Boss Lady Talia and Boss Crow, why are you being so nice to this shrimp?!
If they're not gonna do anything, then we will!
Say your prayers, you stupid runt!
Glow!
We're really sorry about what happened!
Yeah! Yeah! Real sorry!
Wow♥
Is it me or does that one completely undo their personality?!
It's normally not this effective. But Prince Lloyd's in a class to his own.
We know what we did wasn't cool.
We'll go apologize to the sister right now.
What's this about apologizing to a sister?
Oh, these two tried to pull some stuff on Escher and Princess Saria.
They did what to Escher and Saria?!
There was groping and stuff, too.
Gro-gro-groping?!
You wretches! It's divine punishment time, the lethal kind!
Let me go! I need to cast them down! In the most painful way possible!
Wait, Ren and Babylon didn't recognize these guys at all.
Ren's been living in the castle, so she wouldn't know them,
Limb from limb! Their limbs will be individually pruned, dammit!
and Babylon keeps to himself regarding the citizens of the island.
And then I'll put them back on and take them off again! You hear me, you scum?!
Where is he, anyway?
Cleaning up after Prince Lloyd's mess...
Delicious!
Come now! Have some table manners!
It really does taste amazing!
I'm glad you decided to stay behind.
Considering the Prince ran off after one day...
Now you'll be able to use divine sorcery too.
Take care of things around here, Babylon.
Oh, Prince Lloyd. Welcome home.
Prince Lloyd, why don't you join me in the bath?
Prince Lloyd, you should sleep with me tonight!
I-I-I had no idea you were so popular, Prince Lloyd!
This is the life a prince?! The seventh prince?! It's paradise!
I made the right move sticking with you!
Booyah!
Booyah
Gyauuugh
If you wanna live here, settle your bird butt down.
Blood! I'm bleeding!
I could go for some tea.
There are two Prince Lloyds?!
Oh, that's the wooden doll Prince Lloyd made of himself.
It can handle simple stuff automatically.
One cup and two little flying thing servings.
I see, I see.
So, you're a doll. All hollow on the inside, huh...
Eheheheh
Hey, you chump cherub!
I'm fond of this little guy, so if you don't wanna die, hands off!
Ghoul hunting?
Yep. Undead ghouls are the perfect subject if we want to test divine sorcery.
Are there really that many ghouls out there?
I actually picked up some intel during our trip to Lordost that...
Come in!
You called for me?
Yeah! If you've got nothing to do, how about joining me for a ghoul hunt?
What a babe! I like her.
I'm free!
I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince
so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability 2nd Season
This bridge is huge! And there're so many people!
It's the Great Daen Bridge, the linchpin of east-to-westbound traffic in the city.
Still, it's kind of hard to believe
that ghouls are lurking in such a thriving part of town...
That adventurer's guild has received the most sightings in this area.
You can't track down their lair from scent?
Given that they smell like rotting flesh,
in a populated area, the scent is hard to distinguish from food waste.
And my Spectral Detection won't be of much use considering how crowded it is.
Lloyd!
Escher? And Saria.
Without a bodyguard, again. What brings you into town, today?
We decided to have some delicious pancakes for lunch.
Would you like to join us?
Prince Lloyd! Let's go! We should go!
We got stuff to do, dammit.
Lloyd?
Pancaaakes!
This is a shocker.
It's the first time I've seen you
hush hush
as excited for something as you are with magic, Prince Lloyd.
Grim, pancakes are magic.
Fluff
Their fluffy bodies filled with an air of savory goodness...
Drip...
Add a topping of honey syrup and rich butter that synchronize,
with the resulting aroma that arises causing an involuntary flexing at the corners of the mouth,
overstimulating the salivary glands...
If that's not magic, then what is?
You're right!
Lloyd, if this is your first time eating the pancakes here, start by having them plain.
You need to yada yada yada the foundational flavor.
That goes without saying, my good sister Saria!
The toppings are yada yada yada for the pancake itself.
They even like the same foods...
Here you are.
What even is this?! The way it fluffs up inside your mouth before melting...
Sylpha, do you think we could start serving this at the castle?
Of course! I promise to replicate the recipe.
Come to think of it, you never mentioned what you all were doing in town today.
Oh, well...
We're hunting ghouls.
Have you heard anything, Escher?
There've been a lot of people taking refuge at the church after being attacked by ghouls.
Most sightings have centered around the Great Daen Bridge
The Great Daen Bridge
Northern Cemetery
Southern Alleys
the large northern cemetery, and the alleys to the south.
Yum Yum
Some of the adventurers dispatched to deal with it have gone missing, as well.
Missing adventurers?
As for me...
All I care about is the recital not being canceled.
Are you going to put on another one?!
This time it's going to be even better!
It's on the day that celebrates the birth of God—the Great Advent Festival.
Both the King and the Pope will be in attendance!
I'd love it if you all could join us.
If it's able to be held, that is...
Okay! We're gonna get rid of those ghouls!
Someone sounds motivated.
Songs that everyone loves... Delicious pancake shops...
After seeing so much that I didn't know about before...
I love this country, and I don't want anyone to hurt it!
Well, regarding the ghoul den, we've got our targets narrowed down quite a bit.
The Great Daen Bridge seems to be the place with the most sightings.
But I really can't picture a den of ghouls in such a place.
Don't look up...
But down!
Beneath the bridge, at the entrance to the sewers.
Well, it seems obvious, now that we're here.
How's the scent?
Impossible to tell. It feels like my nose is going to fall off.
There's definitely something rotten in there, though.
We'll just have to go and check. I'm kind of worried about something I heard.
Regarding the missing adventurers?
Is it someone you know?
Well, the reason I knew about these ghouls is because she attended our party...
She's likely gone ahead of us, as part of a job, so I'm worried.
Don't tell me...
if it was someone so presumptuous
as to invite the prince of a nation on a ghoul hunt, then—
Lloyd!
Tao! You're okay.
Were you worried about me?
You're a little sweetheart, huh, Lloyd?!
You really wanted to see me that bad?! Oh, you!
Sylpha...
Chop.
Prince Lloyd has taken on this ghoul hunt in order to test his divine sorcery.
You are simply an extra.
An extra?!
So, Tao, seeing as you came out of the sewers, is that where the ghoul den is?
She's so hot! She could be one of my faves...
Tao—
That's what I thought, but I couldn't find anything.
It's filthy, and stinky, and I got lost...
Where am I?!
It took sensing your presence to find my way out of that maze.
That's gotta be either Lloyd or Robert!
That's gotta be either Lloyd or Robert!!
Not a great environment for being able to focus on channeling qi.
I'm gonna head back to my lodgings.
I dropped a bunch of stuff, like my torch...
No. That won't be a problem.
Divine Purification-class sorcery: Helios!
Hey, you're right! No need for a torch, now.
And because Helios is purifying, there's even more to it.
All the dirt... and my exhaustion's gone, too!
Sewer water that's as clean as a pristine forest stream?!
Not just that!
The air is as clear as a wind-swept plain!
Totter Totter
Squeek
This light is kinda rough on me...
With enough clean air, I can fill my lungs and really channel qi!
Qi Technique: Spectral Detection!
Thanks for the change of clothes, Ren!
It's a little tight up top, but...
So, where is the ghoul den?
This whole area seems suspicious.
You're gonna drive out the ghouls?
Be careful out there, Shiro.
And once you step outside Prince Lloyd's Helios spell...
it'll smell really bad.
With this kind of stench, Shiro's sense of smell will be overwhelmed.
This might take a while.
I guess I'll use Spectral Detection to scan the area too.
I caught you red-handed this time, Lloyd!
That was qi breathing, wasn't it?
Crap...
Now, where did you learn that, I wonder?
Sylpha?
Pow.
Rargh argh!
Rargh Argh
By the way, did you not bring Demonbane with you?
Demonbane
(Back at home)
No. I'd rather keep it clean.
And seeing how you asked me to accompany you...
I'm sure there's something else you'd like me to wield.
I'm thinking this might be the perfect opportunity.
For what, exactly?
For us to see who's stronger.
How about we settle it with a little game?
Asinine.
As I previously stated, this mission is for Prince Lloyd to test divine sorcery.
We won't have time for that kind of—
Let me think. The winner gets a prize...
And that's a one-on-one, all-day date, with Lloyd!
Whoa, Tao, what are you talking about?
Hey, if we're helping with your experiment,
the least we could expect is some reward, right?
Limit your insanity to the idea of challenging me, girl.
H-Hey, I've got my own reasons!
So, what do you say? You in, or not?
I-I think I'll give it a try... perhaps.
The rules are super simple!
Whoever kills the most ghouls, wins!
Even a stupid maid could understand that!
I hope you realize I could, in my stupidity, accidentally kill you.
They're Luxa. Take them for a spin, and let me know what you think.
Everybody understand?
Whoever takes out the most ghouls gets that date with Lloyd!
Absolutely ridiculous. Why even humor this farcical idea?
I-I know, right? Going on a date would be so presumptuous.
Then...

Tao +2 Total Kills: 2
Off I go.
Tao +1 Total Kills: 3
Tao +1 Total Kills: 4
Keep 'em coming, now!
Here's number five and six!
House of Langlis

Got 'em!
Sylpha +2 Total Kills: 2
What do you mean, "got 'em?!"
Oh, I'm sorry.
Were you doing something?
You little—
Sylpha +2 Total Kills: 4
Tao +2 Total Kills: 6
Come on, quit following me!
No, no, I'm just testing to see how sharp this Luxal weapon is.
Now, would you kindly get out of the way?
Where do you get off?!
As a matter of fact, haven't you only been kicking?!
Tao +1 Total Kills: 7
Use those gauntlets Prince Lloyd made!
Don't you know what this experiment is about?!
The seven you took down shouldn't even count!
Well, look who was counting all along, you degenerate domestic!
If you wanna be like that...
She managed to take four of the five I was aiming at!
Tao +1 Total Kills: 8
Sylpha really is scary-good!
She's not using qi or sorcery, but her every move is freakishly good!
Sylpha +4 Total Kills: 8
Tao... for you to damage my weapon, even if it's one that I'm unaccustomed to...
You've grown stronger.
Lloyd! This Luxa thing doesn't do enough damage!
I want a new one!
That's only due to your own shortcomings.
Prince Lloyd, I'm afraid this sword is slightly lacking in durability! It's cracked!
Yes, yes. I see.
The two of them are so amazing.
While they fight ghouls, and each other,
Ren, fighting casually. Total Kills: 4
they're also giving Lloyd combat data on his magic.
I want to do something to help him too.
Ren +1 Total Kills: 5
I want that date!
I know!
Lloyd!
Watch this!
She's giving it a poison effect. Interesting.
That's sacred sorcery from the gods she's tampering with!
But she's cute, so I'll allow it.
Now that it's poisonous, too, it's powered up!
Or broken?! And didn't work at all!
Cracked...
It got clouded.
Divine sorcery is delicate...
Tamper with it carelessly and it's effectiveness plummets.
Sorry! It didn't work right!
Actually, you gave me a great idea.
Try this one, Ren!
But it seems the same as before?
Ren +1 Total Kills: 6
It fell apart like it was poisoned!
And the weapon is fine!
Tssss
I tried something that took inspiration from the effects of poison sorcery.
You could call it a kind of divine sorcery that does damage over time.
Makes sense!
It's not really poisonous, but divine sorcery is especially effective on ghouls
Even a scratch results in the purifying effect spreading, the same way poison does.
Did you know it could work like this?
I guess it makes sense that you wouldn't.
Divine sorcery was concocted by the gods to fight demons.
And it was effective enough that they didn't bother refining it beyond that.
But now the brat's got his hands on it...
And divine sorcery is about to evolve like it's making up for lost time!
Not only that—
But he's got the best assistants you could ask for!
Prince Lloyd, this sword's weirdly floppy!
Flip Flop
Sylpha Current Total: 23 Kills
I added some water traits to it. It won't break now.
Tao Current Total: 23 Kills
True, but it's really awkward to use!
Ren Current Total: 23 Kills
Two left!
They're in a dead heat!
Whoever gets that one takes Lloyd...
Prince Lloyd...
On a date!
Civil War is engaging the intruders down below as we speak.
It seems I really would be better off increasing security around here.
So, what do you need me to do? Take over his body?
Yes. A pastor's body will give you freedom to move around the church.
What are you... doing?
Oh, another useful pile of flesh.
Singing really works up an appetite.
Granted, I get hungry even when I'm not singing...
Anyway, it looks like I'm in big trouble!
