Chapter 169: Volume 5 Chapter 4: Dual Persona
(Lori Aivett)
Since Angel rescued me from the dungeon, my life has been constantly turbulent and challenging.
I don't want to harm anyone, especially... not Angel, who treated me like her own daughter, she is the one who has done everything she can to raise me.
She used to be a dreamer who loved to travel and vowed to read every hidden book in the world.
...But because she rescued me, she was pursued by the Duke of Aivett's pursuit team, and she suffered arrow wounds to her legs and spine. Despite that, she endured the pain of her injuries and held onto the reins of her horse, carrying me across the Braatio Empire to the village of Shupe in Teigitan.
"Kid, don't be looking like that, I'm fine, don't worry, We'll arrive at our home soon, From now on, you can live with me. There is no need for you to live all by yourself, from now on, Lori is Angel's precious daughter, and as long as you wish to, we will be together forever."
Even though she was in pain at the time, she showed a loving smile to keep me from worrying.
For me, Angel's reputation in the Adventurer's Guild suffered.
For me, Angel couldn't stand or sit for long, spending most of her time in bed, enduring the pain of her old injuries recurring.
For me, even though she was in so much pain, she always smiled when she saw me.
Despite several years passing, that smile remained etched in my memory.
Thinking back to the beginning, I was just an ordinary child, but after a high fever, I gained another set of memories.
Memories of standing atop a tower, stepping on countless corpses of my kin in a sea of hellfire.
Undead have an innate hatred for the living, existing solely for slaughter. At that time, I was at a loss because of my birth mother's love.
But when my mother died, and I was locked in the dungeon, my suppressed hatred gradually grew. If this continued, I would surely break free from my restraints one day and slaughter all the living beings before me.
But I didn't, because I met Angel, another person who treated me like a precious daughter, who said she loved me.
Killing was wrong, and at that moment, I truly understood that.
...Angel gave up her own dreams for my sake.
I don't want that.
And this time... it seems that I've been somewhat lucky. I obtained the [Miracle Water] quite smoothly.
Although the process was rather violent... I'm truly sorry, as I had no intention of fighting.
At least, throughout the entire ordeal, except for the final counterattack, I didn't use any magic, and I tried to hold back.
Their strength was among the strongest I've ever encountered, and their fighting styles were quite unique... especially that [Black Dragon Mage], she had an aura similar to mine.
This aura... it's exactly the same as "those people."
But what truly caught my attention was the man called Walson; he seemed to know something about my origins.
He was so easy to talk to...
If it weren't for the sudden problem that has arisen now, I would have liked to ask him more questions.
#I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him…# The voice reverberated directly in my head, causing intense pain in my head.
"Shut up," I gritted my teeth, but it was futile.
#I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him…#
#I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him…#
Originally, I was moving through the wasteland using my sand manipulation, but I stopped now, bent over, clutching my head, which felt like it was about to split open.
This voice suddenly appeared after seeing Walson, and no matter how I tried to suppress it, it not only didn't show any signs of stopping but became clearer and clearer... I've never experienced anything like this before.
Wasn't there still five days left before the usual switch... so why…
I summoned the Book of Mela as the countdown for Spiritual Exhaustion on it was rapidly decreasing.
Is the change about to happen right here?
Crack! Thud! Little Skull and Little Skele anxiously paced beside me.
In the end, I had to activate the [Space of Souls] and put my two paired swords, the cursed ring, the Book of Mela, and most importantly, the Miracle Water into it.
Then, exhausting all my magic power, I dug the deepest sand pit I could in the ground and buried myself in it.
...
...
...
...
On the desolate wasteland, the once calm sand dune suddenly exploded.
A swirling sandstorm shot up into the sky, and rising amidst the dust was none other than Lori.
"Damn it! This disobedient puppet always causes me trouble!" she roared, and two fierce white lights emanated from her eyes.
Lori, no- If someone from the world of Minecraft were to see her visage, they would call her Herobrine instead.
She didn't stay in the air for too long, and after a few seconds, she gently descended.
It wasn't because she didn't want to fly but because her depleted magic power made it difficult to maintain flight.
"That bitch is taking everything away from me again!" The uncontrollable anger made her want to tear that puppet she had created into pieces.
When she created her other persona, she implanted her own personality to disrupt the existing "laws" of this world and allow her own essence to descend.
She never expected this puppet not only developed emotions that undead shouldn't have but also resisted her strongly!
She had to periodically weaken her consciousness and seize control of her body! If it weren't for the increased synchronization due to touching her own "body" this time, she wouldn't have gained dominance so quickly!
What's even more annoying is that every time she was about to take over her body, her other persona would deliberately consume all her magic power and sealed beneficial tools like the Book of Mela into her own soul, leaving herself empty-handed each time she went into battle!
...Otherwise, she would have descended into this world long ago! Why would she need to wait for so long!?
When that day comes, she will definitely let this disobedient waste die in the most painful way possible.
...
She looked in the direction she had come from and suppressed the urge to retrieve her own body.
She needs to wait a bit longer. It's not the time yet... When she descends, it will be the perfect time for revenge against the "player" who tried to seize her body.
"...Nature, Water, Darkness, Earth, Fire... and Light."
#Don't... don't... Ah…#
"Shut up." She compressed the voice of the other soul in her mind to the furthest corner, then turned around and suddenly burst into laughter.
"So- they're heading to the [Flame] now, I presume. The things I left there will surely make the situation very interesting." Laughing heartily, she sped off towards the direction of the Western Nation.
