105 – Black Mana
“… ….”
I move my steps slowly and carefully lower my body.
A woman was caught in his field of vision.
“…… Serpia.”
Muttering softly, Ashera gnashed her teeth.
It wasn’t for any other reason.
It wasn’t because she was afflicted with her spirit-world magic, and it wasn’t because she cast the magic of her corruption upon herself.
The reason Ashera distorted her expression was simple.
…… It was just simple.
“…… Who said you can die at will?”
While spitting out, she carefully closed Serpia’s eyes.
…… I didn’t want to see the figure of the subordinate whose empty eyes were dimly shining.
Even more so if it is a body that has already lost its life.
“… ….”
Ashera bit her mouth shut.
It just soared with anger.
I was swallowed up by passion, and I wanted to turn this area into a mess right now.
And in the end, she wanted to brutally kill Violet for making her this way.
I wanted to tear her body apart, destroy her spirit, and finally mercilessly tear her throat out.
Then, Ashera slowly raised her body while thinking about what could even be considered bloody.
“… ….”
Damn it!
She gritted her teeth wildly.
At some point, above those golden eyes, an expression of anger that could not be concealed appeared.
Ugh-
Causes mana.
Generates brilliant blue mana.
It was the same bright blue mana as when she used her magic.
However, if there is one thing that is a little different.
…… Her mana, which always shone brilliantly with the same blue light.
Slowly, but surely.
…… It must be that it is dyed black.
Saaa-
Once, a cold wind blew.
It was an unnatural wind, and such a wind soon made Ashera’s black hair flutter.
Kwaak-
Ashera clenched her fists.
Before she knew it, her wand was still in her grasp.
There was only one thing that came to her mind.
──The one who made Serpia like this.
At the same time, she was the ultimate beast that wanted to cast the magic of corruption on herself.
Violet, the purple devil.
She kills her.
…… That was all.
It was very slow.
However, it could also be said to be a clear change.
Her brilliant mana gradually and surely.
…… It starts to fade to black.
And.
And.
…… And.
Finally, a bloody spirit emanated from her whole body, and at the same time, her mana was about to turn completely black.
…… That was the moment.
Tup!
“…… !”
There was a hand grabbing Ashera’s shoulder.
It’s urgent, but there was a touch that wasn’t rough somewhere.
Ashera’s head turned behind her.
“Calm down, Master.”
“…… Disciple?”
There was white.
Her one and only precious disciple was gripping her shoulders with sharp force.
White snorted.
“Mana is turning black.”
“…… Ah.”
…… And, could she have noticed that her own mana was changing?
Ashera looked down at her own body in amazement at her.
She looked at her mana flowing from her body, to be exact.
“…… This.”
I bring out a trembling voice.
As if she hadn’t noticed, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
“Don’t you know that? It shouldn’t be like that.”
Slowly, as if admonishing.
White began to repeat her words in her calm voice.
“I think it would be better to put mana back into it.”
“… ….”
“Leave this position to me and step back. …… Even if you think of the ‘agreement’.”
With that out, White pushed Ashera’s body backwards with her careful hands.
She doesn’t resist, and Ashera slowly backs away from her.
An obvious anger flashed over her expression.
Obviously, it wasn’t anger toward White.
With Violet, who killed Serpia.
…… It was her anger at herself for not being able to do anything because of her ‘her pact’ because of her f*cking ‘her pact’ even with her in front of her eyes.
Perhaps it would be better to describe it as a sense of shame.
The helplessness of not being able to do anything, and the resentment and hatred towards oneself.
…… How can you be so stupid?
How can you not see an inch ahead?
If only I knew it would turn out this way, if I knew it would happen after a long time.
On that day, I wouldn’t have held the hand that the enemy demon king extended.
A pact between the 12 demon lords would not have been concluded even after death.
…… Just somehow, then and there, he would have torn and killed all the demon lords.
That too in a very gruesome form, no matter what method you use.
If only I had known that I would be caught in this way.
…… Obviously, you would.
“… ….”
Slowly, the sadness begins to fall over her face again.
If it is bitter, it can be called bitter, and if it is expressed as anger, it can be expressed as such.
It was just complex, vague, and complex emotions at the same time.
Her complexion gradually faded into a darker light.
“…… Master.”
And the white one.
For White, just watching Ashera’s change was painful.
How will she feel as she has no choice but to watch?
Hasn’t he also felt the helplessness of not being able to do anything?
That’s why it was even more painful.
“… ….”
White pursed her lips to say something, but she couldn’t finish her sentence.
She wasn’t sure what to say.
No matter what she says, it won’t be of much help to her now.
…… Because of that, there was only one thing that could be done.
“Master.”
With a more resolute tone, White called out to Ashera in a low voice.
Ashera’s head was lifted, and their gazes collided in the air.
At the same time, White exhaled.
“I will definitely kill Violet.”
A voice that radiates clear intent to kill.
…… A word like that.
White’s eyes start to glow like fireworks.
She couldn’t stand her feelings for Violet, which made Ashera angry and saddened her at the same time.
As soon as her feelings start to emerge, those feelings change into a more intense form.
She was just furious.
‘…… You were like that even before the return, Violet.’
Lightly, cautiously.
Clapping Ashera’s hand, White bit her lip in pain.
However, it wasn’t Ashera who was looking.
There was no doubt that she was worried about her, thinking of her and of her.
It was a different being, at least as far as the gaze was looking at it.
“…… I’m waiting now. I’ll finish it soon and come back.”
Sighing, White turned her body around.
…… Looking at a woman with a look of astonishment on her face with a look of bewilderment still on her face.
She has her light purple hair scattered carelessly.
The identity of her was none other than the purple demon lord, Violet.
Ugh-
White raised mana.
Brilliant blue light begins to form on her fingertips.
Soon, as if he had become a conductor, he slowly waved his hands.
The window pops up again.
Distorting the air and space.
Dozens or hundreds of blue windows are created.
Of course, the place where the windows flashing sharp anticipation were looking at was where Violet was located.
“… ….”
Finally, White turned her head back once more.
At some point, the anger was erased, with a worried look, or a look that desperately felt powerlessness.
Ashera was looking at herself.
A smile naturally came to White’s lips.
It was a reassuring smile.
It was a smile to reassure her, feeling her powerlessness, feeling her emotions soaring in her anger, and at the same time unable to let go of her concerns for herself.
“…… Disciple.”
“I am listening, Master.”
Immediately answering Ashera’s call, White nodded her head once.
A slight hesitation appeared on Ashera’s expression.
…… What should I say?
What should I say, what should I say?
To the disciple who is going to fight on his behalf, what on earth did he have to say?
…… Even as I licked her lips, I couldn’t possibly say anything.
I was just desperate.
Her sense of helplessness weighed heavily on her whole body.
Even if it was the pressure that the enemy demon lord exhaled, he wouldn’t even be a new blood, at least compared to the helplessness he was feeling right now.
…… With that thought in mind, Ashera was touching her throbbing forehead.
“Don’t worry.”
A voice was heard.
“…… Disciple?”
It was White’s voice.
Ashera’s gaze turned to him again.
Towards Ashera, who was looking at herself with trembling eyes, White spat out again.
“Everything will work out. Because I will make it that way.”
…… So, don’t worry.
As he added that, White put on a gentle smile.
“… ….”
“… ….”
Looking at each other, the two kept their mouths shut.
From noble mtl dot com
…… I knew.
Ashera and White.
Everyone knew that that smile, that smile, was fake.
I knew it was just to reassure the other person.
But.
Even so, even more so.
“…… Yes.”
Asherah, she had no choice but to answer that way.
A bright smile floats on her face as well.
It was a smile that was made with effort, but it was a smile that floated over a distorted expression.
“…… Don’t get hurt, disciple.”
Nevertheless, White only felt that her smile was truly beautiful.
It was a thought and sentiment that did not suit the situation, but at least that moment was good.
“If you come back injured, you’ll get a big scolding, so.”
“… ….”
“…… So, please don’t get hurt.”
Ashera finished her words, and that was the end of the conversation.
For a while, the two looked at each other, blurring their dim eyes.
In a way, it was a gaze that could be expressed as affectionate.
And sooner or later, White bowed her head towards her deeply.
“…… I will follow you, Master.”
As he spat that out, White smiled.
…… This time, it wasn’t a fake smile.
It was a smile full of sincerity, even if it was subtle, and Ashera could feel it too.
Feeling a more comfortable mind, a calming feeling.
Ashera nodded her head once in approval.
“… ….”
Right after that, White, with her permission, changed her expression to a cold one in an instant, directing her gaze to the front again.
The spears were still pointed at Violet, and at the same time Violet was hardening her expression.
White’s expression as he gazed at Violet changed into a stern expression, as if she were slashing at her chest.
‘You crossed the line, Violet.’
…… The sin that made her and Ashera suffer is more serious than anything else.
Because, at least to White, she was above all other values.
So, in White’s judgment, Violet deserved to die thousands of times.
Charleurreuk!
Reaching out her hand, White lifted the blue chains from her air.
And then, in a cool tone, she opened her mouth.
“Blame your own sins for making Master suffer.”
“…… What?”
Without paying attention to Violet, who responded in a voice mixed with bewilderment, White rotated the circle of her heart.
The 8 rings engraved on the heart begin to turn wildly.
Mana ran through her whole body, and soon she rose from White’s fingertips.
“It just means to die.”
White raised her hand while muttering in a grim voice.
Soon, the hundreds of blue spears floating in the air rain down towards Violet again.
…… The pouring spears exploded the mana contained in the spears to clean up the surroundings.
Again, there was a roar.
It was a violent explosion that was incomparable to anything else.
…… It was a bloody harmony created by the bombardment of spears that wanted to erase everything.
