Episode 34. A terrible fate (4)
Heo Eok. Huh Eok.
Why? Out of breath
I teleported to the entrance of the Marquis of Medith’s mansion. Although the marquis family was wide, it did not run so short of breath.
In addition, I have been exercising all the time. Even if it’s annoying every morning, I’ve been steadily training my body. It was because it was easy to use when the warriors were given an image of being strong.
Then why am I out of breath now?
That’s probably because I’m feeling a vague sense of insecurity.
I was afraid that Prause’s father would die in any case.
Even though I know that Parocco is not my real father, my feelings do not calm down.
Even though I know this feeling is clearly Prause’s, it feels like it’s mine.
Is it because of soul assimilation?
“Ella, if you encounter demons, prepare for battle right away.”
“Okay.”
Ella rolled her hand around her knuckles. I was truly grateful to her for coming as soon as I called and not saying anything.
“I go to a place where I can feel the presence of people.”
“Before entering the mansion, I felt a strong demonic spirit on the third floor. I think it would be better to go there first.”
The wizard behind me and Ella said. Thanks to this wizard, I was able to teleport to this place.
I looked at him and gave him a brief nod. Without a break, he continues to climb the stairs and quickly arrives at the third floor.
“That way!”
The wizard runs in the direction indicated.
As he got closer to his destination, the smell of blood grew thicker, and became so intense that he inadvertently grimaced.
When I turned the corner, I found vampire demons with white hair and red eyes in front of the room that was my destination. It was like watching an elf suffering from albino disease.
“Prause!!”
Vampire demons create countless thorns with their blood.
“Get out of the way. You scum.”
Ella held her dash and thrust her fist into the air.
Boom!
The blood in the air burst and the demon’s body tilted. A shocked demon was slammed into a wall.
“Die!”
Vampire demons throw thorns. The wizard in the back momentarily hits a barrier, blocking the thorns. He was an unexpectedly capable wizard.
“You said Vicky!!”
Then Ella, who was aiming for her momentary gap, approached and threw her fist at her demon’s head.
I passed by the ragged demons and entered the room.
And the moment I saw the scene inside, I was speechless. I doubted again and again whether the sight I was seeing was real.
The error-prone accident soon stopped and denied the reality.
My body shuddered and my expression collapsed at the same time.
[The skill [Expression Management] Is temporarily canceled.]
[Activates the skill 「Living」.]
In the back of the room, I saw countless corpses and people still alive praying to the demons.
It was fine up to that point.
However, the moment I saw Paro’s nose as he couldn’t even close his eyes due to the hole in his chest, I felt something snapping.
She could not take her eyes off the pupils of Paroko, who had turned gray.
I couldn’t control my breathing getting more and more rough due to the feeling that my heart was being squeezed.
My vision became dizzy at the sensation of being short of breath.
No, the expression blurred was correct.
Involuntarily, I brought my hand to my face, and the moist water got on my fingers.
It was tears.
Why am I crying?
As I was wiping the unstoppable tears, I had doubts. I didn’t really have a big relationship with Parocco, but it was the first time I couldn’t suppress my emotions like this after coming here.
The reason is probably…….
Because I really felt like my father was dead.
Looks up slowly.
I wanted to ask right away. Why are you here
“…… S, Stella.”
Stella’s pupils wander.
As the expression management skill was released, he said, trying to suppress the emotions that leaked out.
“Did you kill him?”
“… ….”
“Tell me. Did you kill my father?”
“Well… …. How about…….”
There was neither affirmation nor denial.
My rationality was eaten away by the ambiguous and clumsy answer.
…… Is it. This is how Ariel felt.
I didn’t stop laughing. I felt like I couldn’t accept this situation if I didn’t smile now.
“…… Okay. I shouldn’t have hoped for humanity from the b*tch who became a demon in the first place. I was complacent.”
I wonder if Stella told me that there was a way to become a human before Incuro left for the Aium Kingdom?
Did Stella have any lingering feelings?
Her obviously I decided to take her responsibility by killing her. She was going to carry her guilt with him.
But why did I hesitate again this time?
“I should have killed you then.”
If you think about it, it was.
When Habito took the dying Stella, he threatened me that he would move her demons.
Then, as soon as the Great War broke out, I should have thought of my father’s safety before anyone else.
Why didn’t I pay attention?
Was it because of the sudden war?
Or was it because I believed in the articles of the Marquis of Medis?
Or was it because he didn’t care if he died because he wasn’t his real father?
…… No, it was fine now.
It didn’t matter if she actually killed my father or not.
My father died here, and there are demons here.
The justification for killing them was enough.

“Ella.”
I put on the bracelet I received from Ariel.
[Wearing 「Ariel’s Hearty Handmade Bracelet」]
[The skill [Causal Interference] Is activated in passive form.]
[Skill penalty decreases when equipped.]
[Duration time is 18 minutes and 55 seconds.]
[18:55]
“Yes.”
She replies. Looking at the hallway, the heads of the vampire demons were sunken. It looked like it had come to an end.
[Equipped with 「Mirror that Reflects Others」.
[You can use the skill 「Impersonation」 For ‘3 minutes’.]
“「The copycat」.”
[Illuminate the target in the mirror.]
Hold the mirror ring on Ella.
[Recognizes target 「Ella Todia」.]
[Follows the powers and skills of 「Ella Todia」.]
Stella was a tricky opponent. Depending on her circumstances, her S-class, Ella’s power, would not be able to deal with her.
But Ella was enough for her now.
All I need is reflexes and minimal strength to avoid the demons’ attacks.
“Ella and the wizard, look for demons in the mansion. Please don’t come near this place.”
“Uh, uh…… All right.”
She replied bewildered, wondering if I wasn’t used to using honorifics.
The reason for sending them out is to prevent Stella from finding and shaping the shame of others. It would be difficult if I transformed into an unpredictable person.
“You all die here. Not a single one is sent alive.”
I closed the door and immediately clenched my fists. As soon as I felt the air pulling in my fist, I screamed.
“「The long wind」.”
f*ck!
Belatedly reacting, the vampire’s head exploded.
It was Ella’s skill that contained the mana of the World Tree. Even the elite, who had risen to the ranks of the top demons, could not stand it.
“Die!”
Every time a fist is released, the body explodes one by one, scattering dark red blood and organs.
The maids of the Marquis of Medidis watched the scene of the massacre trembling, but it didn’t matter. Whether or not this situation became traumatic and made daily life difficult, I couldn’t afford to care about them right now.
I didn’t have the confidence to go forward without killing them now.
As the demons died one by one, some demons who were determined to live began to move. They splatter blood on me and try to attack me directly by making weapons.
“Should be interrupted!!”
Dodging the throwing sword, he thrust his fist into the demon’s abdomen.
“Crushing Blow!”
f*ck!
The moment the fist touched the abdomen, the body exploded with the sensation of bones and organs being crushed. Blood and organs are smeared on the ceiling.
“High-speed movement.”
In an instant, I closed the distance and hit the demon’s stomach without hesitation.
“「Sonic Punch」!”
I can’t stand the shock again and my body explodes. The mana loaded into the fist broke the inside and exploded.
“Feel it yourself! How scary and painful it is to die!”
As blood, flesh, and organs adhered to the body and became sticky, the sight became red, but the mind became clearer.
Obviously aware of what he was doing, he accepted the reality.
A furious voice came from behind when all the demons except for Stella had been dealt with.
“Prause!!”
Boom!
Dodge Stella’s sword that was aiming for the back of her neck. She had not yet transformed into an image.
“What did you do? Why can’t I see your memories?”
“Why? If you can’t transform, don’t you think you’re not confident? A subject who has risen to the top of the hierarchy by always provoking the traumas of others like that!”
I don’t know why I can’t see it.
But she thought it was good. Stella’s base stats are lower than those of her other corps commanders, so she should be able to kill painfully.
“”The long wind”!”
Stella twists her body to dodge her swiftly. The sound of her air bursting came from where she had been just a moment ago.
“Are you afraid to fight yourself?!”
“…… Under! It doesn’t matter if you can’t see it Because of the shame I went through.”
Kang!
Stella shouted, taking my fist with her sword.
“「Shaping」.”
Her body contorts and she gradually transforms into a silhouette I know. Eventually, Stella became me with the glass sword of greed.
“You are the one who tried to kill me. Stop it once.”
“Say the f*ck.”
I scolded as I slashed the sword. He strained his eyes and pulled out the only sword left.
[Equipped with [Glass that swallows greed].]
