445 – Reverse Heaven Trial – 8
The progenitor Tirkanjaka had tremendous power, but she was originally a girl who died before even reaching her full lifespan. She only had a little knowledge of the human body, and her coincidence and persistence made her her progenitor.
As such, Tirkanjaka himself was not suited to fighting. She has no experience of life and her body is not fully grown. So her progenitor needed troops to fight for her, and he revived her warriors with her blood magic.
Now that her years of experience have accumulated, Tir Khan Xaka herself has become somewhat accustomed to battle…. Still, she didn’t have the know-how to use her full power.
In comparison, Elders are all powerful people who dominated an era and are left behind in history. Tir Khanjaka is not easy, but with her powers gone, dealing with all these Elders at the same time….
It is virtually impossible. The moment Tir Khan Xhaka realized her own helplessness, her spirit trembled.
“You guys, me…” . Dare!”
“That’s right. They are bad guys. “We need to make it clear who the original owner of life is.”
The good news is that there are not only elders who oppose the progenitor. Kabila, who stood alone by Sijo’s side, hugged Sijo and whispered.
“Wait a minute, just for a moment, you’ll be back to normal. Calm down your excited heart and return as the cold blood queen to punish them. “It is her sister’s choice whether to forgive her or kill her and take the true blood.”
The authority of the founder fell to the ground, but that authority originally came from the power of the founder. If the progenitor regains her power, both the lost authority and the departed Elder will return.
… The belief that the ancestors will not change will not return.
“You are in the position of making a ‘choice.’ “Just like she always did.”
Tirkanjaka’s eyes trembled slightly. Yes. Although she appears to be in crisis, Tir Khan Xhaka has a very simple and easy way to overcome this situation. It splits my body and touches this heart… All you have to do is take out the Heart 1 card for a moment.
Then she loses her beat and her senses die. Tir Khan Xaka will become the blood lord again and bring all her vampires under her rule.
“… But.”
“What are you afraid of? Sister, we are vampires. Wounds heal quickly. “Even if your heart breaks once, it will come back fine.”
That may be so. However, in that ‘unharmed’ feeling and sense of Tirkanjaka. And the precious traces left by the old ‘Tir’ will not be included. Tirkanjaka said.
“Wait a minute. Just wait. “Take some time to think about this.”
“Sister, I don’t have time to think. “We have to decide before he comes.”
“Huh?”
“I mean Du Lahan. Heroic knight. “A henchman who was my sister’s archenemy.”
As soon as the name of the Jet Black Knight Du Rahan came out of Kabila’s mouth, Tirkanjaka also brought up an old memory. A time called the end of knights.
Reverse Heaven Trial dot comNumerous knights who cried out for honor came to subdue Tirkanjaka. Most of them died without being able to overcome the Black Knight’s army. The outstanding knight who defeated the Black Knight also became food for the Elder.
But only one person. Heroic Knight Du Lahan. He defeated even the Elder and arrived in front of Tirkanjaka.
Kabila recalled that time.
“Do you remember the day you made him an Elder? On behalf of all the knights who died and became black knights, he risked their souls to challenge his sister. He was eventually defeated, but asked her sister to make him an Elder. He said he would defeat her sister even if it meant becoming a vampire. Of course, I was unable to resist my sister’s power and became a faithful servant.”
Kabila lightly laughed at him for daring to withstand the power of the progenitor in the subject of the article, but then his face hardened and he warned.
“If he breaks free, he will definitely try to kill my sister. “To prevent her from even regenerating.”
Sir Du Lahan, who was the strongest before becoming an Elder. Even after becoming an Elder, the Headless Knight never gave his best. He would hold his neck in one hand and swing it as a shield or hammer. It is jokingly said that Dullahan, who uses both his hands, is stronger than anyone else. Except for Sijo, of course.
But… The setting of the headless knight was just like the wandering thoughts of a heroic knight who did not want to do his best for the progenitor of vampires.
“Those three are just blaming their sister. Now they are no different from whining to her sister to come back. When her sister’s powers return, she will become a lamb and await her disposal. “Cowards who aren’t worth killing in the first place.”
If they had truly wanted to attack, they would have been much more active. Muri, Rahu Khan, and Bakuta only came to ask questions and argue, but did not attack. If the founder decides to return, I am ready to kneel before anyone else.
However. There are certainly others who are not. There are those who can be ignored, like Dogo, and those who dream of ambition, like Erzébut. Sister Jegcheria is currently away from the Principality for a while, but we don’t know what she will do when she returns.
And Du Lahan will unconditionally attack Sijo. He never forgot the oath he made just before his death.
Because he was an honorable knight even after his death.
Tirkanjaka finally realized it.
Nothing is taken for granted in the world. The reason she was revered as her progenitor was not because she ‘gave’ her strength. This is because power ‘is’ regardless of the past. Now that that power is gone, Tirkanjaka and the progenitor are not the same.
Betrayal of a loyal confidant. Tirkanjaka asked back in a voice trembling with anger and embarrassment.
“… “What about Valdamir?”
And then I received the answer I expected.
“Sister. Do you really think he didn’t know this? As you know, Valdamir was practically ruling this country. He has the greatest power and information thanks to the fact that he has been handling the troublesome tasks for over hundreds of years. “He probably noticed that those three were awake before you did.”
In short, it means that Baldamir also knew about this but ignored it. Tirkanjaka was shocked by the betrayal of his trusted confidant.
There are only enemies everywhere. No, Rir and Kabila remain. But will it be enough? Moreover, Kabila is now trying to stop Tyr’s heart.
There is no way. In order to resolve this feeling of helplessness, embarrassment, and anger, I have to stop my heart again. We must execute all the vampires who dared to oppose the founder’s will, return as the Queen of Shadows, and restore order.
Kabila urged her to make her choice. I’m not sure if being encouraged can be considered a choice.
“… I am.”
***
Hilde, who was talking harshly to me with cold eyes, suddenly realized something. Tilting her head, she gauged whether a rebellion against Progenitor Tir Khanja Ka was possible.
You lacked faith. Did you think I was that clueless? I just found an easier way along the way, but I always leave a hole to escape from.
Hilde put aside her accusatory gaze for a moment, relaxed her expression, and suddenly jumped into my arms.
“Father, I love you!”
Then, several people passing by heard the sound and smiled happily. Do you think they are a good father and daughter? I wouldn’t look that old… Maybe it’s because there are vampires here, but I don’t seem to think about age very often. I said, pulling Hilde away from her rubbing her face.
“Just a little while ago, he was scolding me for not working. “Now do you understand my father’s great intentions?”
“Yes! My lowly self did not know my father’s great intentions! Sorry!”
“Just words?”
“I will also apologize physically! Shall we get a room? Or, here?”
Then, the people who were watching happily were startled and quickly left. Some people were watching with curious expressions, but I won’t show you the scene you want.
“That’s right. Tyr’s power has changed, not disappeared. If there is some kind of opportunity, it can return to its original state. It seems like a crisis has arrived…. What kind of crisis is a crisis that can be escaped with just a flick of a finger? “It’s a crisis to be faced with nothing to do.”
“So your father didn’t tell you? In fact, he even urged other elders even more! Spending that long night together!”
“I wasn’t specifically aiming for it. But it just went on that way. Shouldn’t Elders also have the opportunity to express their wishes? “I don’t know what the result will be.”
“As expected, father… ! “I believed it!”
You’re telling a lie that wasn’t even in your heart. He went to the point where he almost despised me.
“If the elders stimulate or persuade Tirkanjaka, Tirkanjaka’s powers will return to their original state. In the Principality of the Mists, Tirkanjaka once again holds absolute power. Order will be established in the principality again! “Your father will become the mistress of someone in absolute power!”
“… hahahaha. Yes.”
Although I wasn’t aiming for that.
Will Tyr give up the wish he desperately wanted again? Will the Elder stop wishing for her and try to live in eternal order?
I do not deny order. The house might collapse, but you can’t sleep under it. The belief that the house will not collapse. We need to have faith that order will continue. Only when today continues like yesterday can we live in peace. I admit it.
However, if it takes someone’s death to continue to keep that belief. Even though the house collapsed and people were crushed to death, if you ignore the person who died last night and let the people under the bigger house sleep. What is home and order for? Is that really for humanity, or rather, for order?
You can believe that it is necessary. Even if we feel sorry for the dead, we can argue that greater order is needed for more people to live. However, I am the king of humans, and I cannot read orders or minds. If it becomes a human enemy, it can be destroyed at will.
… However, those who want order are also human. I, who read human wishes, instead of destroying them. It creates an opportunity to dictate order.
“First of all, leaving the castle was the right choice. “It seems better to stay outside until the situation is over.”
“Yes~. May your father rest in peace. Because ‘I’ will take the seat! However….”
Hilde glanced at the street outside.
She is the one who traveled around Manwol Castle and the surrounding city to understand its geography. She moved only to the most obscure alleys possible. However, for some reason, the streets are overflowing with people, and people who have been pushed out by the crowd are flowing in.
If this is the case, there will be no seats in the restaurant. Hilde held the corner of her mouth with her strange face, lost in her thoughts.
“The humans who had stayed on the coast waiting for the tide to fall returned to the castle in large numbers. I couldn’t investigate that because time was urgent… “Seeing as there wasn’t much movement last night, I think they moved in a hurry.”
It was just as Hilde said. The streets are crowded with people who come to see the tide at night. It wasn’t a bad thing to stay at the castle for a while, so everyone followed suit, but the streets were a bit noisy and confusing because so many people had gathered.
“It must be an order from the Elder. Probably Red Blood Prince Valdamir…. What is the reason for suddenly calling so many people? “Father, can you at least guess something?”
“I don’t know either. But I really don’t want to do it at this time.”
“Hmm. I thought he wouldn’t participate in the rebellion. “For the sake of the principality, I hope he continues to stay.”
I feel completely relaxed now. I know. Anyway, I’m curious too.
A red-blooded ball knows how to escape from bondage. He truly can choose. I wonder what choice he will make.
Of course, what I’m most curious about is Tyr’s choice.
