by fnovelpia“Seed of rebirth metamorphosis.”
Legendary stuff.
When used on undead, it grants the most outstanding body that surpasses its original prime. In other words, the undead can become human again.
It can even bring with it all the abilities and powers of the undead.
It is completely different from the crude technique of transferring the soul to another body and moving the body inconveniently out of shape.
In other words, the capability itself increases explosively.
To some extent, if Rauf eats it, he will become strong enough to attain godhood.
new body.
new life.
It is an elixir that grants new life and strength.
[…] This is information that no one but the messenger knows, but he really knew it.]
I knew it.
Seongju answered positively.
Now I know.
Why is Seongju looking for seeds?
It was probably to bring Rauf back. Because he is the only one who feels emotions.
“I know where the seed is.”
[…] hmm… … .]
A snowball fight began with the guy for a moment. It didn’t feel like they were fighting because they had expressionless faces, but it seemed like they were guessing whether what I was saying was true.
“… Zane. I would also like to ask you a favor. That child-”
[Rauf. You just dragged me into this. I love you, but I can’t take care of everything. Stay still for now.]
“Mi, I’m sorry… … .”
Rauf intervened briefly and then withdrew.
Aren’t they just good friends?
Just because it’s okay doesn’t mean couples don’t fight. This situation may not be pleasant.
Seongju looked around for a moment.
A shriveled lauf.
Andro becomes a corpse.
Behind that, beyond the invisible forest.
Woe!!-
Suddenly, this guy’s personality was released somewhere.
“Ugh!!?”
“big… … .”
I heard the sound of several people falling from some distance away. It seemed like a security guard had noticed the commotion here and was approaching.
Looks like he doesn’t want to be disturbed.
This is evidence that they are thinking positively about the proposal.
But, as if he didn’t like it, he also lashed out at me strongly.
I can endure it, but I can’t help but feel tired.
First of all, so as not to offend him-
“Stop it.”
[…] hmm?]
At some point, Ronica appeared in front of Seongju. Right in front of me.
what?…
When?
I didn’t feel any presence.
At some point it passed me by.
Because of this, the Lord of Seongju’s eyes stayed on Ronica, who was standing right in front of him.
Although he is clearly shaking, he remains calm.
Ronica looked up at Seongju.
“Negro… Don’t bother me!!”
… Am embarrassed.
He suddenly appeared and said something like that.
However, Seongju did not change his expression, but calmly looked down at Ronica and said.
[…] … … There is a crack.]
chuck.
He stopped himself with one hand and stepped in front of Ronika.
We don’t know what the Lord of Seong will do again, so we need to prepare just in case.
Seongju looks at me again.
[There is no need to fix it.]
Still an emotionless face.
I don’t know what the intention is.
Ronika has a crack, looks at me and says I don’t think it needs to be fixed.
Or, was there even a ban?
No matter how emotionless he may be, he is my child. There might be something hidden.
First, I dissuaded Ronica.
“Ronika. I’m fine, so leave it to me and step away. I hope you can trust me.”
“… … but… You have to be careful… .”
Ronica glances at Seongju as if she is afraid.
Come to think of it, you said you can see colors. Whatever it is, he’s a guy with good senses. He may have guessed what kind of person the Lord of the castle is.
so that… .
‘I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared.’
He must be shaking like this.
Tuk.
I put my hand on my head.
And he said it again.
“Trust me.”
“… ah… … Yes.”
Ronika looked at me, nodded reluctantly, and stepped back.
You can feel it with love.
He wanted to protect me for his own sake.
… Even if it looks like this, it’s still the same.
[Tell the purpose and price.]
Have you decided now?
Seongju asked about the transaction.
I thought I would have to think about it for quite some time, but I agreed to the deal easier than I thought.
I glanced at Ronika for a moment… .
Is it because of Ronika?
First, the conversation continued.
“Can we save Andro before that?”
[It is not easy to completely reconnect the body and soul once they have been separated, but the soul and corpse were well preserved. There are ingredients around, so it’s not difficult.]
“… The goal is to save Andro. The price is silence of all information about you and Rauf and the location of the seed. Is this enough?”
[If what you say is true.]
The lord of the spirit body moved to Andrew.
Even though no information or contract had been written yet, he took action first.
Slurp, slurp.
A black energy rises from the surrounding area.
Red energy rises from the corpses of the masked men killed by Rauf. At the same time, not only the corpse but also the blood was sublimated into energy and disappeared.
Next, the Holy Lord gathered his life force together, pulled out a red thread, and extended it to Andro.
Grumbling-
The ice melted on its own and Andro’s body wriggled once.
[I will merge the soul back into the body, so if you have any sense, please do not interfere.]
Hiss!!
The Holy Spirit took shape, rose as a spirit, and inhabited Andrew’s body.
What is happening? Black fluid came out of Andro’s body, and his pale skin began to regain its vitality little by little.
So after a while.
Fuhong.
Again~
Sounds strange.
Seongju came out with a clear sound like water drops falling into a calm lake.
He just stares down at me.
“… Is it over?”
[Check.]
I glanced at Andrew.
Weak breath.
My heart is beating again.
Is this the power of the castle lord? They say it transcends death and deals with life… .
“It’s really alive.”
“G, really!?… … Oh that… … .”
It was Ronika who answered my question.
I watched for a moment and became excited when I heard that Andro was alive.
Of course, I quickly retreated again… .
I’m at a loss as to how to explain all of this.
[Tell me when you have finished checking. Where are the seeds of resuscitation?]
“Do you not use contracts?”
[Even if there is nothing like that, if it is a lie, you will die anyway. Also, I often saw you hanging out with Rauf. This is the reward for making this weak guy a little more useful.]
“Large… … .”
Rauf clears his throat.
This is an arrogant statement.
Confidence that you can pay the price with your own strength even without a contract.
Even if the Necropolis stigma were to appear, I wouldn’t be able to escape and would die.
First, the location of the seeds was explained.
“Search the 82nd floor. Seeds are artificial. If you investigate the civilization buried in the ruins, you will find clues. Just this much will be enough.”
seed.
This led to a major war between the three powers.
However, if you find the clue first, Seongju will be able to profit without loss.
It’s never a losing deal for him.
Of course, me too.
I can’t even save it.
[It seems plausible. There were developed ruins on the 82nd floor. I’m curious how you found out that information, but I’ll move on. Although you appear weak, I will ask about your identity as a demi-god next time.]
“… … … .”
[Also, this is the only time I am watching. Next time, if you behave like this, I will kill you for any reason.]
“Keep in mind.”
[And Rauf. Stop being foolish. I felt frustrated watching everything. Only you can make me feel this way.]
“Well, that’s… … .”
Shalalak~
When Rauf hesitated to answer, Seongju shook his head and dispersed.
She left this place.
In other words, a risky transaction was successful.
but… .
“There was a sound from over there!”
“It looks like someone has collapsed here. Come on!!”
I can feel the presence of people in the distance.
It seemed like they had come in addition to the guards that Seongju had defeated.
I won’t cause a big fuss because the castle lord has destroyed all the bodies and traces, but that doesn’t mean I can stay here.
First, I asked Rauf to take care of the cleanup.
“Rauf. I will ask you to dispose of the body in the flower garden.”
“… i get it. It’s time to use the gourd.”
“And… Ronica.”
“… … … Yes.”
“There will be a lot to talk about, but for now, Andro’s stability will take priority.”
“I hope for that too.”
“Can you keep up?”
“Yes.”
fault!
He threw Andrew over and took a leap.
Although he must have been very embarrassed, the disciple followed me without saying a word.
*
“Andro lady!!”
“I’ll call a doctor right away.”
The Goliath tent is on alert.
The staff and drivers made a fuss at the sight of Andro collapsing and actively nursed him.
The danger has been passed, so if you stay calm, you will be able to get up again with flying colors. No, you might gain unexpected strength by adding the power of the castle lord.
Meanwhile, we talked in the corner of the tent.
“Thank goodness. I’m so glad. I was scared to know what would happen to Andro… Andro is really good, right? … .”
“It’s okay. Even if it’s not okay, I’ll make it okay.”
“… thank you. Black boy.”
“I don’t deserve to hear that.”
“… … Qualification? Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on. Why did this suddenly happen? No, how did Andro survive?”
“I got help from God. The god who is most expert on death.”
“God?… Are you really God? no. I was reluctant. Just as I take care of the black man on the side of the road… … Are niggers okay? Right in front of you… .”
“I am stronger than you think. More than that, they still see me as a black person.”
“… Because a black person is a black person.”
Suddenly, I felt happy.
The way he looked at me didn’t matter what I was from the beginning.
I was me.
you were you
That’s how we met and became us.
It will always be us.
That was all.
… This is going to be a long story.
Therefore, other matters need to be resolved first.
“… I’ll leave the details later. Can I ask you one favor?”
“What?… .”
I pointed to Ronika’s bracelet.
A communication bracelet given by Rowen. It is an artifact that stores the Venus and Goliath communication network and can send and receive signals at any time.
He asked me to use the bracelet to connect him to Hysterion.
The signal destination is Kentubria city.
The Goliath branch where Hysterion resides.
Ugh~
It vibrates.
Soon, someone picked up the transmission.
[iced coffee. who are you.]
An unknown voice.
He is a Goliath business employee.
“This is Ronica from Venus. It’s urgent, so please connect me with Grandpa Hysterion!! Andro is seriously injured now.”
[yes… yes!? Joe, please wait a moment. Since you are currently at another branch, I will personally deliver and contact you.]
Crackling.
Communication was lost.
And a little later, the bracelet rang again.
When I received the signal, I heard a deep, yet tired, hysterical voice.
[ha… okay. Ronica. I have just received the report. Can you hear what happened?]
I gave the answer.
“Hysterion. Andrew died today.”
[her?… This voice… … No, wait!! What on earth does that mean!?]
“Calm down. I made a deal with God and saved his life.”
[What… .]
“So, I am thinking of going to kill the duke. So prepare in advance. So that even if the country is turned upside down, we can move on without any trouble.”
[Well, what the hell… Huh, ha… … .]
A voice full of confusion.
No matter how hysterical you may be, this news will not be easy to accept.
Suddenly, my granddaughter died and came back to life.
They said they would kill the duke, the pillar of the kingdom.
[Honestly, I didn’t understand what you meant… Does this mean Andrew is safe?]
“Safe.”
[…] … … Phew. I understand. If that is true, I owe you a big debt.]
“No, this is just repaying my debt to Andro, so don’t worry about it.”
[…] … is it.]
A sigh is heard for a moment.
After regaining stability for a moment, Hysterion returned to his original calm demeanor.
No, it was a voice filled with anger.
[okay… I won’t stop you. We were also attacked just a few hours ago.]
“Raid? Were you attacked too?”
[I was attacked on my way back from the castle. Thanks to this, the knight commander was seriously injured and his life was in danger. If the sorceress Miss Isabelle and the knight of Venus, Lionel, had not appeared at this time, I would not have been here.]
They even attacked Hysterion. It looks like the Duke is prepared for all-out war.
And Isabelle is unexpected.
Did he really just say something and then go back? You didn’t go there to drink?
That long distance?
Actually, she is a 7-star witch who is 100 years old.
You must have prepared a movement spell in advance.
That’s probably how Hysterion was saved.
If Lionel had assisted her here, it would have been worth stopping. She is a 6-star final swordsman and at least a 7-star wizard.
… I really can’t leave it alone.
If it weren’t for Isabelle’s help, the family would have fallen apart.
and… .
Hysterion would know that best.
[I would like to ask you from here. Kill the duke. I will also do my best. I’ve been crouching down so much until now, but I never thought I’d be this easy… never! never!! The crime of touching Andro is-]
Sudden acceleration.
The guy who was always calm raised his voice and shouted.
Perhaps because he was very angry about this incident, he did not show any hesitation like before.
[-Honestly, it would be very dangerous for me to do it this way… No matter what happens, I’ll try to clean things up, so please kill the duke. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll hire all the mercenaries in the country and risk war-]
“… Not required. Be prepared well.”
Because tomorrow the dukedom will disappear.
[Hehehe… I understand. I hope you come back safely.]
Tuk-
Communication was cut off.
Then Ronika looks at me.
“I… Black guy. Did you happen to know Grandpa Hysterion?”
A word filled with many emotions.
Oh, now that I think about it, there is an important fact I didn’t tell my student. Everyone knew my identity except my disciple.
… This is embarrassing.
But I have to tell you slowly.
Everything so that you can understand the facts that have been hidden all this time and what happened today.
“… … … .”
“Negro?… .”
“… It’s not just hysterion.”
“Huh?… .”
“Fiona and Andrew also know.”
“Uh, huh?… .”
“Rowen and Isabelle also know.”
“No way… Everyone but me?… … .”
“That’s right… .”
Creeping.
I can feel the disciple’s heart. You begin to feel unfair and resentful feelings.
Sigh-
The expression changed in an instant.
For some reason, my forehead is shaded.
A creepiness that goes beyond coldness.
“Everyone but me… .”
The disciple, who was happy when he revealed his identity, is crying inside.
It is a powerful feeling of jealousy.
“Except me… I knew everything… … .”
“I definitely didn’t do that on purpose! I just don’t want you to be surprised-”
“… Is it because I am the most precious?”
“No, of course.”
“I know. He always looks like he’s worried. It was all for me.”
“… … … .”
I could clearly feel emotions surging, but paradoxically, the disciple spoke calmly.
It was somehow eerie.
My eyebrows fluttered for a moment.
Stroking the bracelet with trembling hands.
It looks extremely different from usual.
“It must have been for me that other people knew my identity. Because black people can do that. however… I keep having bad thoughts.”
“… … … .”
“I don’t know what this feeling is.”
A little bit of madness is visible.
But he looks helpless.
A contradictory appearance.
Is it because of that?
Even though he looked so angry, it seemed like he would burst into tears if I touched him wrongly.
Is it just because of that?
I scold myself internally.
fool.
idiot.
I remember a play I saw while enjoying the festival.
The story of a girl and a dragon.
The disciple had told the dragon, who did not reveal his identity, that he was an idiot.
It’s the same as back then.
My disciple looks at me like such a fool.
okay.
I am a stupid idiot.
There is only one thing that comes to mind right now. The last resort given by Artrot and Andro.
Sigh-
I took a step closer and hugged Ronica.
“Ah!… .”
“You are the only one who can scare me. Like a fool, I couldn’t tell you because I was afraid of your reaction, so I asked people around me for help.”
“Really stupid idiot!… .”
Wow… .
The guy grabbed my collar tightly.
“I will never do this again. Today I will tell you everything without hiding anything. please… Please forgive me.”
The answer came a little late.
The hand holding my collar loosened.
“… … … Then just stay like this.”
width.
The guy buried his face in his chest.
Even though I cried so much earlier, my chest started to become moist.
“Fool… I mean pet it.”
“… … … .”
A drooping voice.
A crying voice.
Covered with both hands.
I patted my head.
I can feel his heart.
… Are you relieved by this?
I really only hugged him once.
With this alone, my disciple felt reassured and forgave me for everything.
It was amazing.
Is it possible to calm someone down with something like this?
just… .
We felt the warmth.
