How tragic!
Although Elizabeth had witnessed numerous bloody scenes in Nazarick, the shocking and gruesome sight before her still caused a slight discomfort.
Not to mention those who were previously injured by the two explosions, most of the people who were later corroded were basically caused by Elizabeth's Pure Throwing Spear striking off the Corrosion Demon's head, so everything before her made Elizabeth even more uncomfortable.
"Let me handle those you can't heal," Elizabeth said, stepping forward and pushing aside the observing soldiers.
However, none of the Healers from the church paid any attention to Elizabeth; they merely looked up at her with cold eyes before continuing to treat the injured. After all, these Healers from the church had no expectation that a princess who could command undead monsters in battle would be able to save people.
On the other hand, the soldiers who had come with Elizabeth knew her capabilities and all made way for her to pass.
Elizabeth nodded slightly in acknowledgment and walked straight over.
"What are you doing here?" a cleric asked displeasedly when he saw Elizabeth approaching.
Elizabeth looked at the soldier, who was still barely clinging to life after his treatment, and replied disdainfully, "What am I doing here? Of course, I'm here to fix what you lot can't handle."
"You... who do you think you are! Humph! He's so severely injured; no one in this world can heal him," the Healer said helplessly, pointing at the gravely wounded soldier.
Elizabeth brushed aside the hair covering her beautiful face and said proudly, "Is that so? Then allow me to demonstrate your incompetence and superficiality!"
The 'performance' of Holy Healing had been tested in E-Rantel before; even missing limbs could be healed, although the process was somewhat horrifying.
Thus, Elizabeth displayed a so-called "miracle" before the church's Healers.
After Elizabeth cast Holy Healing several times in succession, the Healers, who were startled by her, stopped their work and stared intently at Elizabeth.
Wherever Elizabeth passed, the injured but not dead soldiers, their bones, flesh, and severed limbs instantly regenerated, creating an incredibly horrifying scene.
Elizabeth noticed the Healers stopping their work and grumbled with some displeasure.
"What are you looking at! Haven't you seen a beautiful girl who can use powerful healing magic?"
...Those Healers all shook their heads in unison, indicating that they truly hadn't.
Seeing this, Elizabeth's mood improved slightly, so she continued to busy herself with casting Holy Healing on the severely wounded. Although her MP was pitifully low, her MP recovery speed was incredibly fast, allowing for virtually unlimited use.
After using Holy Healing several times in a row, the Blood Emperor, who had been watching the show, reminded Elizabeth to rest, as he had no idea about Elizabeth's special constitution.
Ordinary Healers would either need to rest to recover MP or drink 'potions' after casting healing spells a few times. However, Elizabeth, after casting so many powerful healing spells in succession, still didn't change 'color' and looked as if nothing had happened, which again startled the church's Healers.
"That should be it!" Elizabeth said, symbolically raising her arm to wipe away non-existent sweat from her forehead after saving the last severely wounded person.
"You've worked hard, Princess Elizabeth," You Li said respectfully from behind Elizabeth.
However, it was You Li's single sentence that caused a reaction among the onlookers.
"Princess Elizabeth? Iri?? Could it be the Yelantiel Holy Woman?"
"The Yelantiel Holy Woman?? The rumored Holy Woman who saves the dying and heals the injured without asking for a single coin?"
"That's right! I've been thinking she looked familiar, but after she changed into beautiful clothes, I didn't dare to recognize her. It's definitely her, no doubt!! Holy Woman!"
Someone, somehow, first brought up this inexplicable title, leaving Elizabeth utterly confused. Who was the Yelantiel Holy Woman? It had nothing to do with her, right?
Although she had indeed heard this embarrassing title mentioned by others in other places and had even complained about who was so bored as to come up with such a chuunibyou-like name.
And that was in E-Rantel; how could the people in the Empire be so well-informed?
Furthermore, if it were true, she would never have given herself such a title. If anything, the Witch of E-Rantel would be more fitting; the term "Holy Woman" simply didn't suit her at all, so it must be a case of mistaken identity!
"No! You've got the wrong person! I don't know any Yelantiel Holy Woman, and I'm certainly not a Holy Woman!" Elizabeth quickly corrected, seeing the growing clamor from the surrounding crowd.
However, the excited crowd paid no attention to Elizabeth; instead, their shouts grew louder, and eventually, even the soldiers Elizabeth had saved began to chant "Holy Woman, Holy Woman."
"Enough! I told you it's not me! You've got the wrong person! Honestly!" Elizabeth was so embarrassed she didn't know what to do. She could only stamp her foot like a spoiled child, then directly fled back to the float and loudly urged the Blood Emperor to leave quickly.
Jierunifu, who had been watching the commotion without saying a word, responded to Elizabeth and then turned his head to quietly tell his Secretary.
"Go investigate what's going on with the Yelantiel Holy Woman." After giving the order, Jierunifu put on a smiling face and quickly walked onto the float.
Afterward, Elizabeth entered the palace with the Blood Emperor, who arranged a magnificent room for her. When the Blood Emperor led her to the room, Elizabeth had a question, but she didn't ask it immediately. Elizabeth remembered that she needed to feign ignorance, so she didn't want to 'expose' herself.
Elizabeth then used the excuse of being tired from the journey, having just exercised, and her clothes being ruined, needing to change and rest, to send the Blood Emperor away, and she also declined the dinner invitation.
After all, Elizabeth still had some work to do. She had left Nazarick rather hastily, so many follow-up tasks needed to be completed.
After dismissing the Blood Emperor, Elizabeth glanced at the dress he had sent, having no intention of changing into it, and also sent away the servants attending to her.
How could that kind of dress compare to what Albedo made by hand! Although she was a pervert, one had to admit Albedo was truly talented in this area. Though a pervert, if she could develop well in this aspect, Elizabeth felt she had great potential, though she was a pervert...
After all the outsiders were sent away, the "boudoir" arranged by the Blood Emperor for Elizabeth seemed very spacious, as the room was simply too large, even bigger than her room in Nazarick.
The various brightly lit furnishings were even more extravagant than those in her room in Nazarick, but none of that was the main point.
As soon as Elizabeth entered the room, You Li reminded her that she had discovered some interesting things, such as the host bodies for activating surveillance and eavesdropping magic.
That's why natives are just natives; surveillance and eavesdropping require the caster to release host magic onto an object to be effective. Look at Ainz, he can peek and eavesdrop however he wants, without needing any host bodies at all.
However, since they were discovered, it was time to make a fuss. The Blood Emperor already dared not offend her, yet he still used such underhanded methods to monitor her every move.
It seemed Ainz and she had truly 'pushed' the Blood Emperor too far; he was very eager to obtain information from her. However, this could not be a valid reason for the Blood Emperor to legitimately peep and eavesdrop on a lady's boudoir.
So... he shouldn't blame her for being impolite.
At this moment, Elizabeth gestured for You Li to bring it out. You Li, understanding her intent, produced a scroll, "Set Magic Reversal."
The effect of this item was to devour set-type magic and then feed it back to the caster. Because it was a prototype, it could only reverse some low-level trap magic and the like, though eavesdropping and surveillance were also possible.
You Li smiled slightly, then used the scroll. Watching the scroll float in the air and burn to ashes, Elizabeth also began to laugh.
A mischievous laugh, of course. Let them peep! Let them eavesdrop! See if I don't kill them! Although she didn't know what the power and effect of the feedback would be, it certainly wouldn't be pleasant.
Next... it was the high-tier teleportation scroll, as she still needed to return to Nazarick.
