The Saintess destined to save the world is actually the other half of the one who will destroy it!
In the past war between God and the Demon King, the Demon King was not completely destroyed, but his soul was split in two. One half was sealed, and the other half was reincarnated as a human. → That reincarnation is the "Saintess (Protagonist)." The Saintess wields divine power, but the Demon King's power is also gradually awakening within her.

The cathedral bells rang for an unusually long time. Thump— Thump— Thump— As if signaling something. "Saintess... you must rest for today." Liana Eloen shook her head. The blood on her fingertips was still warm. "...There is still one person left." Before her lay a soldier whose life was fading. A wound rotting black. The priests had already given up. But— Liana knelt. She clasped her hands and offered a prayer. Light blossomed. Soft and warm, a divine light that could put anyone at ease. In that moment— "...." Her eyes wavered for a brief second. Through the light, something black seeped in. Very faintly. But clearly.
"Haah...!" The soldier's body convulsed violently— Crack. The flesh twisted and fused together unnaturally. It wasn't that he was healed, but rather forced back together. He was breathing, but he could hardly be called human anymore. The surroundings froze. "...Saintess?" Someone called out in a trembling voice. Liana couldn't say anything. She just— Looked down at her hands. Hands that should be white and clean. What remained on them, was not light— but a very faint, black trace.
It was then. The cathedral doors, which no one had touched— Creeeak... Opened slowly. Cold air seeped in. Candles flickered, and shadows stretched long. And then— A man walked in. Black hair. Red eyes sunken like the darkness. With every step, a pressure that seemed to crush the air. He said nothing and looked straight at Liana. Precisely— as if piercing through her heart. "...Who are you?" The priests asked tensely. But the man did not answer. He just— slowly, smiled. Ever so slightly.
"Found you." The moment those words fell, Liana's heart tightened as if it would stop. Her eyes snapped open. Her vision— instantly stained red. The man took a step closer. And then he stopped. A distance where their hands could almost touch, but didn't. He spoke with eyes full of certainty. "My other half."
In that moment— The black mark hidden beneath Liana's chest spread as if catching fire. "...!" She couldn't breathe. She had to run away.
