20 – The Curse Called Nightmare
At the point of Minel’s permission, 50% of Ceres’ abduction plan was solved.
[When ‘Kidnapping and Confinement Soonae’ kidnaps Minel, it’s good, but it’s better for you to pick it up.]
“Would you like to?”
I’ve never had a proper conversation with Ceres, so will she listen to me?
Wouldn’t it be better to leave it to Minel?
[‘I don’t want men to sleep’ says that both men and women are creatures that have lingering feelings.]
[I didn’t want to remain as a virgin, even if she’s not as good as you now, she says it’s not strange if she has regrets now.]
“right. There is a possibility now.”
Because it was before the second prince was born.
[‘The most handsome, competent, and warm-hearted handsome man in the world’ asks Ceres how old he likes younger people.]
“uh… Because the second prince was born next year… .”
20 years difference?
[‘It’s funny’ asks if the 2nd prince had a taste for being older.]
“No, it’s not about associative taste or anything like that, it’s just a collection.”
Unlike my current only crown prince, who is bright and has a kind nature, the second prince has been intoxicated with the taste of power since he was young and has revealed his female color too much.
According to what I heard right before being killed by the monsters, it was probably said that the second prince had 9 wives and close to 20 concubines.
[‘I want to cut my husband’s d*ck’ lamented that it reminds me of someone living somewhere.]
“For now, things about Ceres are over. Most of the intermediate process will be left to Minel.”
More important than that is the fight against Xenovia.
First of all, I will definitely decorate something.
“There’s no way I can lose if it’s just mediocre Ilto skills.”
However, if there is interference from the outside, the difference in weapons, and even borrowing magic tools from within the Knights, the story is a little different.
“It’s something that the Imperial Knights Division should have… .”
The demonic sword, Durandal, should be owned by the leader of the knights by now, so it’s okay not to worry about it.
Other than that, there shouldn’t be a big problem with the enhancement-type magic tools, because the current Xenovia is so weak. Not to mention the skills, even the attributes and skills, the present Xenovia would not have.
“Still, let’s leave one possibility behind.”
It’s hard to think that the stubborn knight will hand over Durandal unless he’s defeated, but he should be prepared.
“So I have somewhere to go as soon as swordsmanship lessons are over.”
“Is it today?”
“Yes, there will be a ‘contract’ three days from today.”
“contract? What is it?”
Minel took a sip of coffee from Rianne and asked me about the ‘contract’.
Well, unlike Rain and me, Minel is an upright prosecutor. It’s not strange to be ignorant of contract magic.
“It is the magic of master-servant contracts. It is one of the rights given to students entering the academy.”
“Each student signs a master-servant contract with one summoned beast.”
It is a fraudulent magic that summons spirits, spirits, monsters, demons, angels, and even monsters from the other world and forcibly makes contracts with them, but most of them are contracts with spirits or monsters.
“Each level is 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade from the highest express. And it is divided into five levels that most students have.”
“Most of the students are in 5th grade?”
“Yes, no matter how talented an academy cadet is, the summons who are guided when summoning look at their talent, personality, and even their soul, but those who have tasted ancient heroes cannot be satisfied with being just an ordinary student. that’s what you do.”
“Hmm… So what does that contract have to do with what we’re trying to do?”
“Most students have a level 5, but if there is a ‘catalyst’ to summon something when summoning, the summons that fit it will be attracted.”
If the fire spirit carries a fragment of a burnt tree, either the person who burned it will come out, or someone related to that existence will come out.
“Of course, ‘catalysts’ for level 3 summons don’t roam around in normal markets, and even if you buy them on the black market, they’re sold at an absurd premium price, so most people believe in luck and their own talents.”
“Then what are you going to buy on the black market?”
“I’m not going to live.”
At my words, Minel tilts her head.
“Didn’t you say you were going to buy a catalyst?”
“No, are you going to find a catalyst?”
That too, to the place where the special spirit catalyst is located.
*****
A spirit is a type of monster created by gathering curses.
There are also artificial spirits created by necromancers or black magicians, but they are different from the naturally created spirits created by accumulation of curses over a long period of time.
“So, from now on, I’m going to find the items from the past of Ju-ryeong’s life.”
At this time, it is close to impossible to find the remains of the main spirit, which is officially known to have been eradicated in about 10 years.
However, traces of it before becoming a master can be found at this academy as well.
“The items to be found from now on are the belongings of the person called Neros during the life of the limited express master.”
“Neros… ?”
Minel and Rain try to think of it, but they can’t remember the name Neros.
The official name of the spirit is not her real name, Neros, but as a spirit with omnipotent abilities, she was called ‘Nightmare’.
“It is said that all traces of her have been removed, but there is something left in this academy.”
First of all, since she’s a daughter of a viscount family, even if it’s not an outrageous luxury item, things like rings and necklaces and diapers will exist.
If it’s a problem, it’s the first time I’m looking for it.
“Anyway, other spirits and monsters would be much easier to handle… Do you have a reason to do it?”
“Because I am strong.”
The curse has no limits to how strong it can be.
Since negative emotions are more likely to be used as a driving force than positive emotions, spirits are born with negative emotions that grow in people’s hearts and grow while eating them.
In particular, the cause of the feelings that Neros became the master also suits me well… Perhaps, if I can make a good contract, I will be able to become strong enough to be incomparable to the spirit kings and golems I have signed contracts with so far.
“Then let’s go find the library first.”
“yes.”
“i get it.”
The library, which I arrived at after going on a bright road with magical powers, was emitting a bright light as usual, but for some reason I felt creepy as I had come to find the traces of the spirit.
“What can I find here?”
“Rain, look for the name of [Neros] among the love books.”
“All right.”
“Minell, find a book made by a person named [Nephyros] in the library where there are books related to ghosts and the undead.”
“It’s a simple matter.”
Looking at Minel and Lane, who had fallen to different places, I went straight up to the third floor and searched for the hidden room while digging through my memories of the past.
“Obviously here… .”
3rd floor, L-91, and the 5th book from the top on the 7th bookshelf from the left.
[Vampire Survival Guide]
[‘I didn’t want to remain as a virgin’ asked what the book was.]
“key.”
rattle.
When I lift the book from the top and pull it out, I hear something spinning, but there is no change in the bookshelf.
[‘Invincible with knowledge and power’ asks you that nothing will happen.]
“Then do you think the secret room was hideously hidden?”
If a secret room comes out just by moving a book, that’s not a secret.
This is just one trigger.
“Next is this way.”
Among the desks on the second floor, pull out the second drawer of the 10th desk drawer in column D, insert your hand into it, and inject magic into a tree of a different material.
“next.”
Return to the 3rd floor and throw a fairy tale where the water is prepared.
and last.
“I sing a chant on the rooftop with magical energy.”
[‘I hate NTR!!!!’ I am curious about the thoughts of humans, asking why the hell did you create such a secret device in the library.]
“It looks like it was made secretly when this library was being built. The principal was bored and secretly went to the designer and asked him to do it.”
It was during my fifth life that I found this out in the past.
It wasn’t until her 5th life that she finally learned how to get to the secret space from the story told by a drunken Skaya during the war, but she didn’t have a chance to look inside it in detail.
As soon as I found out that the omnipotent worst nightmare, ‘Nightmare’, once lived there, the desire to enter disappeared.
“then…”
I put a lot of mana in my throat and follow the chant that the skaya in my memory spit out.
Originally, he would have nagged at me, asking why he had to use mana instead of mana, but… Now that he couldn’t use mana, he thanked him for not being able to use mana and started chanting.
“I will become a bright dream that fills the dark night, even if it is a dream that slowly eats away reality like a curse, I will become a dream that is as bright as light and eat away the dark reality.”
He said it was probably Neros himself who created the chant part that didn’t exist originally.
coo coo coo… .
At the same time as the shaking, the door behind me disappeared and a side door appeared that seemed to allow a small animal to pass through.
That was correct.
Crawling through the small side door on all fours, I saw a wider space than I thought.
“… Is that one?”
The room, decorated with various dolls and decorations that did not match the dark atmosphere, was full of dust, but it was clear that humans lived there.
“ring… .”
A silver ring with a small diamond that looked less than half the size of a pinky fingernail was placed on the small desk.
The external reason why Nightmare, an omnipotent nightmare, became a curse is bullying.
Even though she had no talent, the academy students who saw her as a toy to bully her after entering the academy tormented and tormented her, so she devoted her soul to become a curse.
This is what is known, but what I heard from Skaya who subdued her was a slightly different story.
“… .”
He picks up the silver ring and carefully puts it on his finger.
[…this..j.l… ]
“Ugh… .”
In my head, a strangely low voice resonates directly in my head, like a little girl’s.
[Yes… ]
And the ‘curse’ slowly approaches in front of my eyes.
[Yes… … .]
A ‘monster’ with a black body like the flames of hell appeared.
And the omnipotent nightmare asked me:
[Love me?]
Yes…
😂😂😂
Why not?
