Reconcile (7)
I put the stunned Elina on the altar with the broken corner.
Sleeping soundly, Elina let out a deep breath and turned her head to the side.
“I really will… ?”
Elin, who had been watching me all along, asked in a timid voice.
Maybe it’s because of the debt in the heart.
He probably didn’t want what he had done to Elina to be worse than before.
“Don’t get me wrong.”
I said while stroking Erin’s head.
“I have no intention of making Elina suffer. Because that’s what shook Elina’s faith, and made you act evil. And there is a safe place in the Abyss.”
The place called the Abyss is a place where souls who have not attained enlightenment are gathered.
It is a different world from Purgatory, one of the hells where the wicked gather.
The Abyss is a place that belongs to neither life nor death. Because it does not belong to any world, it was a place where interference was difficult even for the constellations called gods.
Therefore, the brainwashing that Neftam put on Elina’s mind and soul was also the weakest place.
“Can you really go to Abyss with something like this?”
Elin said while fiddling with the bloodstone-studded relic.
The necklace was a sacred relic of Yuan that I found in the hidden area of this temple.
“You can go. It’s enough to use Yuan’s Foundation and its relics.”
The reason Yuan could be maintained as a god was thanks to the fact that there were many believers who became ghosts.
Paradoxically, because the Neftam Church massacred Yuan’s followers, Yuan was still able to survive as a god.
The problem was that the power in the Abyss was close to a one-way street that was easy to send out and difficult to enter, so it was most appropriate that Yuan’s influence in the Abyss was very poor.
Of course, he had no intention of sending only Elina. I will also follow Elina to the Abyss.
“Are you really okay? you can’t go with me It is a dangerous place.”
The Abyss is a very dangerous world.
The slightest step out of your comfort zone can quickly erode your soul.
It was this Abyss where the ghosts were going to take Elina.
She hesitated for a moment, but then opened her mouth resolutely.
“I’m okay. There’s also the holy relic that Confucius gave you, and you’ll be able to get out of the Abyss in case something happens. Rather, what should Confucius do in the Abyss?”
“I can be dangerous. I am not important now.”
“Confucius.”
Even after hearing my words, Elin’s eyes shook nervously.
Thinking that you’ve come all this way and worrying for nothing, I lightly tousled Elin’s hair.
Elin shook his head as if this was a little annoying. However, when I actually tried to let go, he looked a bit regretful.
For some reason, he tried not to listen, but the reaction was cute, like a cat who keeps wandering around his owner.
I kissed her lips lightly again.
At first, Elin flinched a little. However, as soon as he forgot his anxiety, he clings to the warmth of people in an instant.
Thirsty for affection, she seemed to confirm it with physical warmth.
I hugged her by the waist and patted her on the back.
Soon, when she seemed relieved, she parted her lips, and now her face blushed red as if she was ashamed.
Tring!
[Poisoning stacks. It is a level 1 poisoning state.]
I checked the poisoning message popping up faster than I thought with a side glance.
There is no change in physical condition until stage 1.
The main character of the original work, who was much healthier than me, did not feel any abnormalities until the 4th stage.
This poison was a kind of poison that had to be accumulated over a certain amount to exert its toxicity.
‘I’m sure it’s dangerous at level 2.’
However … Soon the problem of poison would be solved.
It won’t be long before you come face to face with the cause of the problem.
Until that time came, kissing was still usable.
The kiss was a useful means to make it easier for Elin to deal with it without thinking about anything else.
When I loosened the slender waist that I was holding on to, Elin stepped back for a moment and then turned her head quickly.
Elin hesitated for a while.
“why? Be honest.”
At my question, Elin’s fingertips twitched.
Carefully looking into my eyes, she spoke in a small voice.
“It’s like a different person.”
“yes? Not really. Elina now tells Neftam… ”
“Not that.”
Elin was still looking at me.
“I mean Confucius.”
And he shrugged his shoulders in fear.
As if I’m worried if I can really say this.
“You look like a different person. It wasn’t like this before.”
“… ”
I couldn’t speak for a while.
I couldn’t deny Elin’s words either.
Certainly, I was changing.
As I went through the events of Nias, Rivia, and Yuria, I felt that something inside me was gradually changing.
If I think about myself in the past, I wouldn’t have used this method.
“… ”
There is something suspicious about the reason for my change.
There seemed to be a way to check.
‘I was just afraid to find out.’
I took a small breath and exhaled.
I can’t make Elin worry about me here.
“So, which one is better?”
“… The changed Confucius isn’t bad either. no, fine.”
Elin sighed, then crouched down so her chin touched her shoulder.
It must have been so embarrassing.
“But the old Confucius was good too.”
I laughed bitterly.
It didn’t feel bad that either of them loved me.
There was still thoughtful concern in those silver eyes.
I wanted to tell Elin I was fine… but it seemed like a bad lie. It’s impossible.
So I turned to what I was facing right now.
“… Then shall we begin?”
At my words, Elin’s mood also turned heavy.
This is the moment when her strength is needed.
As Elin raised her divine power, the holy relic of Yuan on her neck emitted a dark red light.
Unfortunately, access to the Abyss through the relic is not a means at will.
After using it once this time, I didn’t know if there would be another chance.
In other words, one attempt now was important.
I gripped the strongest sword while keeping my eyes on the situation.
If Yuan ever intervened to harm Elina, she had to respond immediately.
There were plenty of possibilities.
As for Yuan, he would want to kill Elina completely and completely get rid of the Neftam saint of this generation.
There was plenty of room for involvement in this matter, even if it was overdoing it.
[Constellation, Gaunis shouts to be careful!]
At that time, Gaunis, who was monitoring the movements of the Constellations instead of me, shouted one step faster.
In the next moment, a faint light began to emanate from Elina’s body.
yuan? no…
“Neptam.”
That divine radiance was proof of Neftam’s power.
The divinity emanating from Elina’s body clashed violently with the divinity of Yuan created by Elin.
“Ugh… !”
But, of course, it was not enough for Elin.
The intense divinity emitted by the constellation that reached God began to overwhelm Elin’s power.
The two forces collided, and the resulting strong wind made hair and clothes flutter wildly.
Soon, Elin couldn’t overcome the force and took a backward step.
My body was cold with anger.
There was only one way for Neftam to intervene in this world that was difficult for him to intervene.
Even using Elina’s vitality, she was demonstrating her power.
Even if he used the power of the strongest sword, it was difficult to cut that power at once.
Neftam was exerting at least two different types of power through Elina. It was impossible to cut off the power emitted by Neftam by cutting off one.
Above all, Neftam is a god who is never conceited. In the first place, it was a difficult situation to meet the conditions of the Punisher of Arrogance.
“Neptam! At this rate, it won’t end with Elina’s lifespan shortening!”
I shouted at Neftam as if warning.
[Constellation Neftam says it’s better than handing over Elina to you.]
Neftam’s answer came.
“So, that means that the animosity you have for your sister is more important than for Elina.”
[Constellation Neftam exclaims not to discuss long fate so lightly!]
The long fate of Neftam and Yuan.
“If you wrap it up as fate, does the essence change? We just hate each other.”
Originally born as sisters, the two hated each other, and now only hatred for each other remained.
It was a much greater hatred than the emotion in the original work.
Elin and Elina.
Maybe they felt remorse when they saw the two girls who were in a similar situation to them.
“… It’s okay.”
Elin’s body staggered as if it were collapsing, as if it was painful to handle the power of Neftam.
It was obvious that it wasn’t long before she was crushed by the crushing force.
“… okay. I will not give up on this.”
At this rate, Neftam will completely subdue Elin.
My plan failed, and Elina was forever under the mental control of Neftam.
“But thank you.”
I laughed lightly.
Preparations had been prepared in advance. Rather, I’m glad it worked out the way I thought it would.
If Yuan could intervene, it meant that Neftam could also intervene.
“Thanks to you for diligently giving me the holy lute during Quaid last time… ”
Opened the settings window for Neftam.
[Neptam (86/86) – Unable to add settings]
[Complete setting complete collection]
“I could have bought all your settings.”
[Constellation Neftam questions your words.]
[Constellation Neftam warns you not to do useless things anyway.]
Neftam’s words were neither conceited nor careless.
If she had watched my strength during the pre-election period, she would have had some understanding of my strength as well.
No matter what I did from now on, Neftam had the conviction that he would not be able to fight against him.
“Confucius, if you want to do something, do it quickly! more… I can’t stand it!”
Elin exclaimed urgently.
Not only that, but the temple, which was already in ruins, was about to collapse due to the two clashing forces.
The temple, where the dust fell, was clearly in a precarious state.
“Temporarily delete the settings of the target.”
An ability that was awakened when the level of the seeker in the setting reached 7.
[Disable setting]
[Temporarily disables one setting of the item for which all settings have been purchased. Some important settings cannot be disabled.]
[limit 30 seconds]
As a result of checking Neftam’s settings, it was not possible to deactivate [Neptam as a constellation, believed to be a god], which would have been most useful when deactivated.
Instead, the next best solution was found right away.
“Delete [Neptam currently has the most followers].”
[Some of the items, Neftam’s settings are temporarily disabled.]
The energy of Neftam in Elina’s body weakened.
As the power of the holy light diminished, Elina’s aura began to overwhelm her.
[Crying out what the constellation Neftam did to her!]
I felt as if I could hear Neftam’s voice screaming in embarrassment.
what with this
“I’ll see you soon, but then let’s hear it from your mouth.”
Unfortunately, Neftam’s response could not be heard.
It was because Elin had finished the preparations.
“Confucius, you can open it now!”
“open it!”
At my cry, the floor cracked open like an animal’s mouth, and an endlessly deep darkness appeared as if there was nothing.
That empty world was the safest place right now.
The darkness of the Abyss swallowed everyone present.
Tring!
[The blessing of ‘Blessing of the Thread of Fate’ is activated. Blessings lead you to good luck.]
[‘Blessing of the Thread of Fate’ forcefully activates the ‘Luck’ blessing.]
But I felt like I heard something ominous.
