Ashley felt relieved after reasserting control over the golems in Talas

With some training with Melissa, he retaught her her magic he had learned from her earlier, the magics to gain control over Talas and its portals

At last, he could feel safe again

He has reclaimed all 3 demonesses Medusa, Lilith and Selene as well as his "wife" Melissa, his girlfriend Tiffany, her fellow puppet William, and he even gained a new "wife" as she called herself, Sasha who was formerly Cassie Rancell's girlfriend. As of now, he wouldn't return her to Rancell nevertheless

Rancell had joined too, with his current "lesbian" girlfriend Tanya to his team

In essence, if he could get the demonesses free, he would be better off than before!

And he had an idea of how to free the demonesses without sacrificing his own freedom

Trihader had informed him that there were very few S Ranked healers, and nearly all of them were female

They were the summoned of other nations that their churches took as Saintesses of Popes

It was unfortunate for Ashley that he was summoned to Petra, who had no such churches, otherwise he would not have been discarded so casually

Unfortunately, they didn't hear about any such Saintesses in any of the countries nearby, except for the country of Elderon, a powerful nation, a country several times larger than Roslova, Petra and Lockbane put together

Tanya herself was a former Axe Saint from Elderon. 

Now the Church of the Goddess of Light Thea, the most powerful church in Elderon and their Pope, a beautiful woman named Alina, was the most gracious and powerful healer, summoned with the first batch of summoned heroes from Earth.

Even Tanya had heard of her but had never met her even though she was also summoned at Elderon

Everyday, a swarm of thousands of people lined up behind barriers surrounding a narrow path, hoping to touch her as she passed by

These were the citizens or warriors supposedly unable to be healed by elixirs or potions, and they were free. However, because potions and elixirs were expensive, many among the throng were actually able to be healed by conventional means, but they came for the free healing

Everyone who touched her received healing, didn't matter if they were severe wounds or light ones

The Church and the kingdom of Elderon allowed this free healing as it promoted good will among the people, and boosted their coffers due to the donations given by the rich donors

Ashley and his group were among the huge crowd, trying to fit in with the throngs of people

From a distance, they saw her, the Pope of the Church of Rhea. As he expected, she was very beautiful, but that was the only thing that met his expectations

To Ashley's surprise, she was naked and appeared to be holding back tears as she walked, suffering from the humiliation and abuse she was getting

The hordes of people were clamoring to her, but as many of them were men, they groped and squeezed her breasts and butt, and shoved their fingers in her holes as she was pushed to walk by the priests behind her

She was not only healing the crowd, but like Ashley, her body was automatically healing herself from the harsh treatment, from people shoving their hands into her pussy and ass roughly, to the groping and tearing at her body

"What.. what is this?" Ashley muttered, shocked at her treatment

Their plan was only to trick the Pope to healing Medusa, letting the church handle the problem of her being chained by the golden chains

But now, he felt sorry for her, seeing her bullied and tortured like this

And this happened every day?

"Does this always happen?" Ashley asked Tanya

"No... I don't know. This is the first time I've seen her in person" she said

As the Pope was pushed past Ashley and his group, Ashley decided to continue their plan

"Now" he said as a hand reached out from under a large cloth that had been surrounded by Ashley, Melissa, Sasha, Tiffany, William, Tanya and Rancell

They didn't put it directly on Medusa, as the cloth will disintegrate from being over her gold chains, but it was used like a tent covering her as she walked within their group

As there was nothing stopping the thousands from grabbing at the Pope, Medusa easily reached out and touched the Pope Alina

Suddenly, she screamed in pain as gold chains and gold bonds appeared, piercing her eyes, mouth, her nipples, and a clamp over her pussy with a spike shoved in her, with the chains linking her ankles, wrists, nipples and neck

It was so sudden, some of the people grabbing her and touching her had their hands impaled by the gold piercings on her nipples, and some had their fingers ripped by the clamp surrounding her pussy, and ripped apart by the spike piercing her pussy

Medusa smiled, having being released and the group started running away, their goal having being fulfilled

Ashley looked behind, seeing the Pope crumple to the ground in incredible pain, her body trying it's best to heal herself

All around her, people kept trying to grab her and receive healing, but there was no longer any power that she could spare

The people, especially those that had their hands pierced, started attacking her angrily, kicking her on the ground as the crowd descended on her and the priests behind her as the whole area descended into chaos

Ashley turned around and Medusa nodded, understanding what he was thinking

Suddenly, Medusa turned into full demon mode, sprouting her multiple arms and huge snake tail 

They both threw the people aside as Sasha and the rest turned around to help out

Medusa was so powerful the throngs of thousands hesitated and pulled back as Ashley grabbed the comatose Alina and started fleeing

The group, together with the freed Medusa entered a portal that Melissa conjured, fleeing straight to Talas and closing the portal behind them

--

Ashley placed the Pope Alina on a bed he made, similar to the one he had made from himself before. He knew which was the most comfortable position for him when he was entrapped

Next to her were Lilith and Selene, both still trapped

Ashley had second thoughts about doing this

Although he had wanted to free the demonesses, he didn't know the popes and saints were living such retched lives

If anything, they might have had a worse of life than he had at Petra. At least he was not forced to sacrifice his freedom for the benefit of the Kingdom

He could have just lived a quiet life, not being a hero at Petra

 He found that through Medusa, Alisa was mind linked to Medusa, and he through Medusa with Alina. 

Although she was unconscious with such pain, he could read her memories 

She was summoned from a high school in Sweden, but upon arriving here she was found to have the same rare healing power he did

They were unsure what to do with her, as she was the first among the other first summoned people

So she was sent into missions fighting the demon hordes

However, she was a shy and timid person, and her powers weren't very useful in battle

Furthermore, with a riches in elixirs and potions, the Kingdom of Elderon didn't find her useful

However, the Church of Rhea came in, and decided to take her under their wing

With that, she was broken up with her boyfriend Friedrich, the first Sword Saint, who eventually got together with Marsha, the A ranked Fire Mage

She was brought to the church, and for the first few years, she was treated well, and healed many people who needed it

Ashley watched her unconscious body, and pitied her. 

He didn't know how he would continue with the plan with the other 2 demonesses Lilith and Selene, but it's not as if they knew of any other Healing Saints or Popes

For now, Alina was the only one they know of, and she certainly couldn't be used for the other two simultaneously

 

But over the years, the crowd grew, and the church decided it was easier for her to be stripped, and let the throng of people touch her for her healing

Years later, this was her every day life, being groped and prodded by thousands of people

She even recognized men that were there everyday for their enjoyment, and in many instances, in public, she was pulled aside to be gang raped by the hordes of men, for "their healing"

The church never stopped this, as it seemed she could heal herself anyway
