Chapter 139
You can’t just quietly nod.
Again, Elcia’s skill demonstrates its power and attacks.
“this.”
The defense quickly unfolded.
It uses a large amount of demonic energy to block it by tightly concentrating it.
The defense that consumed a lot of magic energy easily turned into ash and scattered.
“What happened?”
“Instinctive fear. I don’t want to look back on my past. It goes hand in hand with his ability, so he seems to be rebelling a little.”
“In short, Emily, are you saying you made a mistake?”
“Hey, I didn’t make a mistake. Just that child’s fears and concerns run rampant. Because the human heart is sensitive.”
Emily explains that touching human images is actually not an easy task.
Some people easily allow access to others, but there are also people who don’t.
A sensitive and fearful human being.
“That girl must be like that too.”
“It was easy to engrave knowledge on me.”
“… … Huhuhu, cyan is easy.”
Why am I being an easy man?
The problem is that an ordinary human would simply end up failing, but Elcia has an unusual talent.
In addition to the anxiety of the image, the skill itself responds to that emotion and regards me and Emily as hostile elements.
“What is the solution?”
“Nothing. It’s simply asleep, so a big blow to wake it up is enough.”
“It is simple. But that’s not what I want to hear.”
Emily sighed lightly as if she understood.
“Since the imagery is still connected, I think it would be okay to intervene a little more. … … oh?”
Emily hurriedly took me and flew upstairs. The black wave that attacked again swept beneath him.
“It’s not easy for this older sister to do it while caring about Xian.”
No matter how talented the devil, it is difficult to do both at the same time.
“What is blocking the image?”
“In that lady’s mind, she is facing the most reluctant memories. I just can’t get out of there right now.”
“Are you saying that you can rush and drag it out?”
“Help me do that. But it’s something I don’t know about this sister.”
As a devil, he is somewhat insensitive to human emotions.
There is no choice but to force it out, but it seems that it is not enough as a solution.
“Then we must switch roles.”
“draft?”
“Somehow you’ve got hold of the ability that’s annoying me right now, Emily.”
“You are thinking recklessly.”
Naturally, Emily understands what I am proposing and wants to oppose it.
“Sian, are you trying to get into that girl’s image?”
“Can you? It’s easy enough to connect properly.”
“… … It’s embarrassing not being able to say I can’t.”
Emily smiled bitterly and nodded.
“I can’t keep it for long.”
“A little while is enough.”
When I made this assertion without hesitation, Emily said no more and immediately moved to carry out my order.
First of all, it creates a gap by checking the runaway power of Elcia.
“Walk up to that lady while she’s paying attention. Then, this sister will take care of the rest.”
“OK.”
During the confrontation, I approached Elcia, who was still unconscious, and grabbed her by the shoulder.
“That’s right, a troublesome lady.”
Well, I’m not going to say that I deliberately provided the cause.
So please help me with that responsibility.
Above all for my position.
‘Because if you don’t become useful, I’ll be in trouble.’
I connect my demonic energy to Emily’s spell still remaining inside Elcia.
The landscape of sight changes.
It darkens before my eyes, and a scene other than what I can see appears in my head.
The feeling of testing the imprint of knowledge the other day.
It’s just that at that time I was on the sleeping side, but this time I’m on the side looking into other people’s heads.
“Let’s interfere with what you are so afraid of.”
About the sinful karma of the Lyoleites that this guy hates so much.
* * *
To that girl, her own family was the source of pride.
nobility of the empire.
Born as a member of the ducal family that reigned at the pinnacle, she grew up hearing about the splendor of the family and the mission she should have as a member of it every day even before she grew up.
That’s Elcia Lyoleate.
(The young lady is the head of the family.)
(Because the head of household had high expectations for the young lady since she was born.)
(I have no doubt that you will become a better person than anyone else.)
The adults around her always praised her, and she grew up taking it for granted.
better than anyone
He will live as a member of the Riolate family that everyone expects.
“… … It’s a riolate that you expect.”
Image of Elcia Liolet.
What I heard there is her memory. And what she saw was the past she hated to face the most.
A memory that becomes a turning point in Elcia Liolet’s life.
“… … See you there.”
I watched the image change.
There was Elcia, the daughter of the former duke of Lyoleate.
maybe eight years old
Next to young Elsia was a girl of the same age as her.
‘… … Milian.’
Contrary to his bloody impression now, he looked like a very normal child.
It would not have been a lie to say that the two were friends in the past.
‘But this memory is ultimately Elcia’s trauma… … .’
The scenery changes.
In the blink of an eye, the date changes. One day when the seasons change again and again.
The year Elcia Leoleate turned ten.
The family’s sinful karma she says. And what she regrets the most will happen.
(Elcia, let me tell you about the family customs.)
A middle-aged aristocrat with a skinny impression.
Deolkin lyoleate.
Elcia’s father, he said, called her that year to tell her the most important secret of the Lyole family.
Young Elsia, who was thrilled, would not have dared to imagine what would follow.
A young girl from the Lyole family full of immature pride.
What she experienced was the first human malice she had ever seen.
Family malice.
(It is the blood and life of evil that raises the lyoleate.)
The reality of the duke.
Deolkin taught young Elsia the truth about her family.
(Unlike the other brothers, you have the power to inherit the Lyoleate family.)
However, Elcia couldn’t listen to that with a happy heart.
Even a young girl could sense that the situation unfolding in front of her was strange.
family altar.
Elcia’s friend Ai, Milian, was there.
Elcia is very embarrassed to see her friend screaming in terror while being bound and gagged.
(Father… this is… why…)
(I will teach you. It is the blood of the innocent that raises the Lyole family. When that innocent blood burns away by the power of our family, it will exert greater power.)
To Elcia, who didn’t understand, Gajoo gave a simple order.
(Kill with your own hands.)
A custom to nurture the family’s vision.
A human sacrifice to that power.
The young girl who learned the truth couldn’t have followed that malice.
cried the words of denial.
(You’re weak. … But I don’t need your doctor. Your value is only to have the power of a family that will be completed someday.)
The housekeeper muttered something.
Elcia still refused, but was guided by the power of something and approached the altar.
What rises is the power that shimmers in black light.
Originally, Elcia’s skill, which can only exert weak power, turns viciously black with the intervention of the family head, and turns anything it touches into ashes.
(Begin.)
harsh command.
I knew what happened after that, so I didn’t want to see it that much.
The light that leads to destruction burns life.
And one of the two screams that echoed through the room disappears.
“… … Is this why you hate talent?”
“Didn’t you see, Xian. No one calls this a talent. Curse.”
Elsia’s voice came from behind.
He is speaking one step away from memories that are replayed over and over again, unable to face the past.
“After that day, I felt disgusted with using the power of the family.”
“I guess so.”
“I wanted to stay away. … … And one day I tried to deny the lyoleate and settle everything.”
Having worked hard to enter the academy at the top of the list must be part of that.
Elcia Ryoleate’s goal is to stand at the top through her own efforts instead of relying on the terrible talent of her family.
“Your goal is the collapse of the Liolet family.”
“I thought it should. … … But, it seems I’m the only one who thinks that way.”
self-deprecating voice.
“We must deny and liquidate the family full of malice… … I regarded the mistake of that day as atonement for the friend I killed.”
“But isn’t it going well?”
In fact, the girl called that friend is alive, much less helping the evil that ruined her life.
“Is it funny?”
“When you live in the original world, there are bound to be twisted things. Even if you laugh at it, do you use it if others laugh at you?”
I said without laughing.
“At least face yourself and laugh at yourself.”
And get over it.
“The first step in the human growth sequence is accepting that you are a pitiful human being.”
I said and pointed without looking back.
Black light burning in a nightmarish scene.
“Even if it’s disgusting, take it. You can’t right wrongs if you don’t have strength.”
“You say scary things.”
“Did I tell you? There are a lot of guys who don’t have anything like this. … … And they can’t do anything even if they go through a terrible reality.”
“Sian, is this your story?”
I do not know. me but not me
“You take that and use it correctly.”
Will a person who knows sin repeat the same karma?
I don’t know much about that.
but.
I tend to think I should try it once.
“Because it would be much better than being weak and unable to do anything.”
Elcia, who had been listening to my persuasion and argument behind my back, stopped talking.
Instead, footsteps are heard.
Elcia’s appearance as she walks out.
Fearing and forcing herself to stare at something she doesn’t want to see, Elcia grabs hold of the talent she detests.
‘Have you made up your mind once… … .’
The biggest reason Elcia Leolate couldn’t handle her talent wasn’t just because of her family’s control skills.
because you rejected it
Actually, I was weaker than anyone else.
‘but… … It’s just the beginning.’
Without looking further, I left the sight of her image behind.
Returning to my consciousness, I looked around.
The entire area was devastatingly burned and only ashes were scattered.
As soon as I opened my eyes, Emily shook her head and dismissed the summoning herself.
I can’t even hear the flames, so I must be pretty exhausted.
Well, congratulations for your hard work, let’s do it later.
I asked Elcia, who had just opened her eyes.
“Can you do it now?”
“… … .”
Instead of answering, Elcia was conscious of her two palms.
The black light stays like an aura.
Unlike before, the light did not indiscriminately incinerate objects in the area.
is to control
“… … We have to do it from now on.”
As if this was the beginning, Elcia answered while staring at her ability for the first time.
