chapter 58
Episode 58 Warlock (16)
* * *
Meanwhile.
Ruina and Luna took refuge on a floating island.
The floating island was a large island with an area of several hundred square kilometers, but the altitude was constant, so there was no good place to hide when looking down from the air.
[Lu… This… me.]
So it was inevitable that Tarancio, who was flying through the air and searching the island, found them.
In addition, the body of Tarancio was also a floating island itself.
To be precise, he was created by forcibly injecting the spirit of Tarancio into the body of a spirit dwelling in the land using the evil Great Law.
The blue light from his eyes and his all-black skin reminded him of the dead, but his true identity was a kind of spirit.
His memory was not perfect.
The only thing he remembers was two things.
Rage against Eugene and more than that,
[Lu… This… me.]
It is an obsession with Ruina.
That’s why Tarancio followed her instincts and searched for Louisa,
The goal was finally achieved.
“… That. I was chasing you.”
Luna muttered in a serious tone.
Isabella moved Luna and Luna to a safe place while using high-level magic to conceal them.
But to no avail.
The reason is that Tarancio was this floating island itself.
There was a transparent barrier between them and Tarancio.
Bang-. Bang-.
[Lu… This… me.]
Tarancio was pounding it mercilessly.
Ruina looked at Tarancio in silence and said a word.
“You don’t look very intelligent.”
“The intelligence is low, but its power cannot be ignored. Is there any good way?”
At Luna’s question, Luna turned to her side.
The expression on her face as she looked at Luna was very calm.
“I will be the bait. Because that wants me. Can you deliver a fatal blow through that gap?”
I couldn’t read the anxiety not only in his expression, but also in his voice.
Because it was obvious that his life would be in danger if he became the bait,
Luna couldn’t help but ask.
“… I’m serious?”
“That’s for the best.”
“…… “
It was an amazing level of composure.
Although her Luna’s skills were not comparable to her Luna’s, her judgment was superior to hers.
Bang-. Bang-.
Meanwhile, Tarancio was hitting her shield hard.
I will endure to some extent, but it was only a matter of time.
Luna had to make her decision. She
She And She Louis Couldn’t find a better way than my suggestion.
“… Good.”
“Before the shield completely shatters, you’d better come up with a specific plan.”
“… That one. Attacking the body won’t do you any good. Rather recover. So we have to seal it for a while.”
A way to neutralize that monster by baiting Ruina.
Fortunately, it wasn’t without a way for Luna.
Luna inherited its eyes from one of her primordial witches.
“Ten seconds for that… No, if you stop it for 5 seconds… I have a good way.”
“Five seconds… “
“… That monster has to accept the magic I prepared.”
Simple, but quite demanding conditions.
Under normal circumstances, there was no way he would have been able to stand still with a menacing attack.
“Good. 5 Seconds… Let’s neutralize that for a while.”
However, Ruina readily agreed.
She believed she could do enough.
No matter what it was, if it was the essence of Tarancio, it was worth trying.
Whether he gained power through an evil secret, his essence is just a weak man starving for affection.
“Really… Are you okay?”
“Of course. He doesn’t have to be intimidated by his outward appearance.”
Ruina’s strong conviction was contagious to her Luna as well.
I don’t know what kind of belief drives her Louisa, but it’s far better than letting her hands go in a state of despair.
“Even if it is a seal, it is not a perfect seal. A few hours would be the limit.”
“It’s okay. If it’s Eugene, he’ll kill the enemy within that time and come back.”
“I think so too… You didn’t really trust him in the first place?”
“I was foolish at the time.”
Ruina shook her head.
While the two were making a concrete plan, the protective shield was finally broken.
Tarancio immediately rushed towards Ruina.
[Lu… This… me.]
He didn’t look particularly intelligent.
However,
“Listen to me, Tarancio.”
I responded to Ruina’s words.
[Lu… This… me… ?]
“Yes. That’s me. Tarancio.”
Because it was the warmest voice of Ruina he had ever heard in his life.
Luna was aiming for her magic prepared while her luina was acting as her decoy.
Preparing her magic wasn’t a big deal in itself.
The only problem was getting the ejected magic to hit Tarancio.
‘Not yet.’
Luna decided to wait quietly while watching the two of them.
Rui I took a step closer to Tarancio and she put a hand on his face.
“Why did you become like this?”
[Lu… This… me. Me, i… ]
Tarancio took a step back.
Because she realized her own personality rather in her warm tone.
“It’s okay. Does appearance matter? Come here.”
Ruina spread her arms wide open, and Tarancio dramatically recalled her memories before she lost her body.
[Large, alternative… what did i do… !]
Regret came rushing in like water.
Blinded by her jealousy, she gave her body to her witch, and although she gained powers in return, she was rendered inhuman.
After becoming inhuman, will she be able to stand in front of Louisa?
‘No.’
Can she make her happy?
Puffed up.
Tarancio involuntarily fell to his knees.
As she watched it, Luna felt that she was the right flag.
She then glanced at Ruina.
Louis I shook her head at Luna like that.
Then she took a step closer and hugged Tarancio.
[I… I am. It is a monster.]
Tarancio tried to shake off her Luina.
It was true.
His black skin was essentially different from that of humans.
Tarancio, who was a human, thought it was hideous even when he was aware of it.
“No.”
Still, Ruina hugged Tarancio.
She then patted him on the back.
“Your mind is human. What does appearance matter?”
[…] Louisa.]
She comforted him more than anything else.
Tarancio was aware of Luna who was targeting him.
So he was thinking that maybe Ruina was playing her role to deceive himself.
However, now it has nothing to do with it.
‘Yes. What does that matter?’
Acting or not.
Louis I love that she is the woman he loves.
She was right in whatever form she was for her happiness.
Although, one wrong choice brought things to this point.
‘It’s not too late.’
Her self was already too late to be with her.
Her contract with the witch was not of an irreversible nature.
Still, it didn’t matter.
There is nothing left to give to Ruina.
[Lu… Or.]
“Speak, Tarancio.”
[I… I am… I really love you.]
“I know. But I can’t accept that.”
Tarancio’s heart ached at Ruina’s words.
But she was more tolerable then because she already knew her heart.
She once believed she could win her heart, but now she just wishes her happiness.
[…] Will you remember this?]
“…… “
[My love… More than Eugene’s No, Louisa More than you think of him… It’s just that it’s never enough… Just remember that.]
“I will.”
Tarancio hardened his heart at Ruina’s answer.
No, even before she answered, she had already decided what to do.
She had already made up her mind since Ruina hugged her.
[My strength… I will give it to you, Louisa.]
From that point on, his body began to melt.
It wasn’t just that.
The floating island began to collapse.
And the black magic from Tarancio’s body flowed into Ruina’s body.
“This… case.”
[It will be your strength.]
I will carry all the bad things with me.
The power that transcends the rank obtained in return will only be passed on to Ruina.
[No… Bye.]
Tarancio smiled at Ruina.
Ruina also smiled.
“Thank you. Thanks to you… I think I know what to do next.”
Ruina was impressed by Tarancio’s actions.
If so, wouldn’t Eugene also turn around?
“Thank you. I will not forget.”
She said goodbye to Tarancio.
* * *
“Helena.”
“Yes, Eugene.”
I don’t know how many times I killed him.
I killed quite a few times, and thanks to that, I accurately grasped my situation.
Helena dug a trap and cast strange magic on me, and in the aftermath I was summoned to this strange world.
And she tried to enslave me.
‘It’s a shameful year.’
In that case, you should return the same.
“You must accept me as your master.”
“Ah… I will gladly follow you.
Suddenly, Helena became obedient to me.
My guess is that it was a reflection of some kind of strange mental magic she cast on me.
The reason I guess is Helena’s gaze at me.
The vaguely relaxed feeling was exactly what I felt when I first came here and saw Helena.
I remember the lines she said.
“Obey me and you will be full of happy things.”
“… Please.”
Even though Helena obediently answered my words, she suddenly had doubts.
I killed her every time and started over.
“Swear here. Helena. I am your master and you are my slave. That oath will last until you die.”
“… Yes. Eugene.”
And for the first time, Helena obediently complied.
She bent her knees and put her face on the top of my foot.
Looks like he’s trying to kiss my instep, but he didn’t really ask.
Is this like the elves’ declaration of obedience?
‘… Whatever it is.’
Wouldn’t it be important for her to admit that she is deeply enslaved in her heart.
“Master. I will dedicate my life to you as your faithful slave.”
The moment her lips touched my instep.
Hwaaah—-.
I suddenly came to my senses.
Back to reality.
Altar. s*xiness. Elizabeth.
And Helena, who is making a hazy expression while looking at me.
Then he suddenly realized something and pointed at me.
“You… you… !”
What would you like?
“Did you forget what you did to me inside?”
Puffed up.
She fell to her knees at my words and put her head on her floor.
“… Master. As your faithful slave, I will give you my whole life. Keugh… “
I rather liked the resentful moans.
