“… What was I to you?”
Immediately after hearing those words, Terezina became speechless, as if she had heard something she had not heard.
What was Sarah’s intention when she said that?
If I answered that I was my beloved daughter, would they stop this uncreative, cliché revenge drama and cry into my arms?
I stopped for a moment and tried to think of such a scene, but the sight of Sarah, who had been blunt since childhood, crying and begging for Theresina’s affection, did not come to mind.
However, I thought it would be a little unpleasant if she showed such behavior.
“To me, you are… .”
well… .
According to the dictionary definition, the two were mother and daughter, regardless of their family history or anything else, but Terezina did not consider her a daughter.
As long as there was a blood connection and she could manage the territory, it was okay whether the successor thought of her as her mother or not.
Because I didn’t particularly want my successor to take on the role of a daughter.
I thought she was his successor, but at some point I gave up on the idea of making her my successor.
Next is the body, which I have long since given up on.
As a result of several experiments, even if it was a homunculus, if the soul was transferred to the body, a rejection reaction occurred and the body collapsed shortly after.
Then, naturally, there was only one relationship left between the two.
“Mormot?”
“… … .”
“Is this an experimental guinea pig? I killed thousands of people just to create you, but I was actually skeptical about this. I just had a vague hope that if I made it 100 or 1000 times, at least one would turn out okay. Of course, you were a disappointment.”
Innate mana is also slightly above average.
Despite having the blood of the great Demon King, he showed no special abilities.
I thought things would get better as time went by, but in Terezina’s opinion, Sarah was not a very satisfying person, both mentally and physically.
An ambiguous being that is neither good to eat nor to throw away like a chicken.
That was the impression Terezina had on Sarah.
“How about it? Has your curiosity been satisfied a little?”
“Yeah, it wasn’t that different from what I imagined, so I wasn’t really surprised. If I had said something shameless like a precious daughter, people would have rolled my eyes.”
“Oh my, if I had known in advance, I would have called you that. how is it? Would you like to cry and be held in your mother’s arms even now?”
Even as she spread her arms and said that, Teresina slowly began to increase the distance towards Sarah.
As if a fight was about to begin.
He was at a distance that he thought was appropriate for a fight.
Sarah didn’t even blink at the obvious hostile action, and Terezina just watched as if nothing happened.
Finally, when she had finished preparing everything, Sarah spoke.
“I’ll decline that. Felt said. You smell like a bad old woman and I can’t stand it.”
“Oh my, is this so different from what I heard? You should have seen that child being held in my arms and pampering him for smelling good.”
“Yeah, I guess you said that. Grandma has a weak heart, so even trivial words make her heart stop.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Almost at the same time, a black flash struck the two people.
No matter how far apart they were, couldn’t the blood connection between them be erased?
Ironically, the demon summoned by the two people who truly hated and loathed each other had the same name and had the same power.
As the devil’s skull exploded and blood flowed out, the devil that had imitated the mansion finally revealed its true nature and rose up.
The size of the demon was so large that just lifting its upper body caused cracks in the ground, and the effects began to spread through the streets.
The sound of people screaming echoed in Sarah’s ears.
But there was no time to worry about such trivial things now.
“Prince.”
Calmly summoning the Prince without panicking, Sera turned her gaze to find Terezina, who had been in front of her just a moment ago.
Her senses became sharper as she became aware of the demonic spirit, and she quickly realized that Terezina was hiding beyond the forest.
“There you are.”
Soon, when Terezina pointed her hand toward the hidden forest, a skeleton engulfed in dark red flames began to advance, burning the forest.
“You are a evil spirit wrapped in the flames of the demon world! I also had a hard time signing the contract, but it looks like I’ve grown quite a bit!”
“Shut up and die quickly.”
The flame burns the forest.
While citizens saw the rising smoke and sensed that something was wrong, Terezina continued to avoid the situation without fighting back.
It was natural to avoid one’s body against a high-class opponent, but Sarah felt an indescribable unnaturalness in her actions.
She never left the mansion.
If you realize that you can’t defeat Sarah and run away, it would be much easier to escape if you run out into the street and set a fire.
Because it can’t harm citizens?
Because you have an attachment to the city?
‘That will never happen.’
To her, both the city and its citizens are nothing more than decorations to decorate her power.
Is there anyone who would risk their life for a mere decoration?
Theresa is waiting for something.
Since she had no idea exactly what it was, she could only vaguely guess that it was something she would risk her life for.
Sarah was very interested in what would happen at the end of this skit-like escape, but it wasn’t enough to risk her life.
I was seriously considering whether I would rather just destroy this area.
“The soul… .”
Suddenly, she forgot to give orders to the devil and reflexively looked up at the sky as she felt waves of soul coming from everywhere.
There, countless souls were dragged out of their bodies and floating in the air without knowing why.
“This is amazing. I never thought there would be people left in this era who would do crazy things like this.”
“… Do you know what that is?”
Before I knew it, the demon that had imitated the mansion was restrained with a spider web, and Prince, who was riding on top of it, spoke in a rare voice of admiration.
“Yes, I know. That is the magic that ancient rulers mainly used when offering their people as tribute. It is a magic that is mainly used to create a magic circle around the outskirts of the city, but its use has been banned since the goddess ruled over humans.”
It must have been practiced magic, but looking at it now, it looks like he made an offering to the devil and learned practiced magic.
As I was making those guesses and admiring along with the Prince, Terezina appeared with a triumphant smile as if it was her victory.
“With this, preparations for summoning the devil are complete. It goes smoothly like this, okay? You don’t want to get caught up in the demons that will be summoned by offering this much of an offering, right?”
“Are you saying we’ll have a draw?”
“Yes! If you don’t like that, it’s okay to commit suicide with this mother!”
It’s a subject that I don’t even think about doing.
A very shameless person.
The fact that his complexion didn’t change even after spouting such absurd lies is abominable.
I’m sure they’re still laughing at me because I’m still a kid inside.
“I don’t like that… .”
“Right? Then like this… .”
“But… I hate leaving you here alive and going back.”
Sarah opens her mouth.
While Terezina momentarily frowned at the meaningless action, only Prince, who had been attending to her for the past few months, realized the meaning and began to smile softly.
“What… now? .”
Instead of waiting for Theresina to understand, the soul that floated in the air begins to permeate Sarah’s body.
Only then does she remember.
Whose blood did this stupid girl with no talent who just met a good man come from?
Realizing this fact too late, the moment she was about to give a command to the devil, a sticky spider web covered her mouth and grabbed her hand.
You can give orders just by thinking about them, but it is faster to say them directly.
However, with her mouth and nose blocked and her breathing blocked, she would not have time to summon a new demon and give an attack order.
Even if there was that kind of space, it would have been immediately blocked by that demon and only summoned mana without any meaning.
“The lady is finally trying to get back into shape. Please do not disturb me.”
Before she knew it, the souls that had permeated her body turned into a darkness deeper and thicker than the night sky and began to surround her body.
Everyone was afraid of the egg-like being that would break out of its shell.
It was the same not only for Terezina, who turned ‘that’ into an enemy, but also for Prince, who was her ally.
Strong power is like a sharp sword, and even if there is no such intention, it makes the viewer feel fear.
Even Prince, the Earl of Hell, could not completely escape this fear, so he waited for her awakening with a mixture of fear and anticipation.
-Talk.
When that moment finally came, Prince smiled with joy and Terezina watched the scene with wide eyes in astonishment.
The one who broke out of the shell was Sera, but it was not Sera.
Something more frightening.
He was reborn as a true transcendental person with dignity and fear befitting the word Royal Blood that Felt once jokingly mentioned.
“It’s a refreshing morning.”
As she said that, she looked up at the sky, raised the corners of her mouth and snapped her fingers as if she had thought of something interesting.
Something black began to sprout in the distance and quickly spread like ink spilled on the floor, covering the entire city.
She continued as the entire city turned black in an instant.
“No, is it night now?”
