by fnovelpiaElise stares at Karami intently.
Slave messenger.
Seeing through Elise’s true identity as someone who was exploiting people in the slave market and her ‘former master’ who had enslaved them.
Actions that don’t make sense.
Full of unknown things.
A man with a mystery.
Elise asserts that there is no one in the world as suspicious as that man.
But on the other hand, if there’s one thing I’ve vaguely realized while spending time with Karami, it’s that he might not be as bad of a person as I thought.
I wonder if there is a misunderstanding.
He looks like a person with black and white reversed.
Not black imitating white, but white imitating black.
I’ve even thought about that.
Maybe it was God in disguise who came to save him.
But it was all a delusion.
He was no Abraxas.
I was just one of those people passing by.
That’s why Elise hates Karami.
Disappointment comes from expectations.
People were originally accustomed to such beings, and there was nothing to be disappointed about in their attitude.
But Karami had high hopes.
I was disappointed because I had high expectations.
Why didn’t you save yourself?
Elise resented Karami.
That Karami appeared before my eyes again.
“You won’t get what you want even if you ask that.”
Resolutely denying Elise’s wishes.
“… Did you come to kill me?”
“I think I’ve said hundreds of times that I’ve only freed slaves, I’ve never killed a slave.”
“Then why did you come back?”
“I came here because someone needs my help.”
“No, there isn’t. Go back.”
“The words and actions are too different for that to be true. Even if you think about it, don’t you find it funny?”
Karami glanced at Elise’s behavior with a grin. Elise’s condition could not be described as normal, to put it nicely.
Elise kept her mouth shut.
I rolled my eyes and calmly assessed the situation.
Then I discovered a question.
“Are you alone? What about the other women?”
Where did the monsters that had neutralized the army of priests, apostles, and even saints go, and Karami, who can do nothing on her own, came alone.
“I’ll be waiting outside. I won’t let anyone in, so don’t worry and have a nice chat.”
“You left it behind…? You came here alone?”
“Is there a problem?”
How could there be no problem?
Karami is an intruder.
Elise is the head of the Holy Nation.
Each is the other’s leader.
But unlike Elise, Karami herself has no powers.
Elise can kill Karami just by yawning.
The gap in strength between the two is that big.
“What on earth are you up to?”
“Well, I always speak my mind.”
“Who would believe that…!”
Elise, who had been shouting, started to cough.
In that moment, the strength in his hand disappeared and the girl he was holding fell to the floor.
But the girl did not wake up.
It was because I was under a spell.
While Elise was struggling to control her body, Karami approached the candidate nun.
“It seems like your condition has worsened because you haven’t been drinking blood. Oh no.”
Karami gesturing in the air.
Soon a vial the size of a finger appears in his hand.
He opens the stopper and pours the clear purple liquid into the girl’s mouth.
“What are you making me drink… . Hurry up, hurry up and hand that kid over to me… !”
“Don’t worry. I’ll hand it over to you soon.”
Not long after pouring all the liquid into the vial, the girl, who had her eyes closed the whole time, began to stir and wake up.
The item that Karami fed was [Elixir of Inviolability].
A fraudulent item that removes all kinds of negative effects.
I used to feel guilty towards the creator because I only used it when I was drinking, but now I finally used it where it was useful.
“Uhh… . Huh?! Who, who are you?”
“I’m not a weirdo. I’m a slave messenger. Don’t worry.”
“Hic! A slave messenger? You clearly came to the temple to see the saintess?”
“You don’t have to be so surprised. Isn’t the saint right next to you?”
Only then does the girl discover Elise.
But what was in front of him was not a saint revered by everyone, but a bloodthirsty vampire.
“Wheeek! Ship, vampire!”
The surprised girl jumped backwards.
Even though he is a slave messenger, he clings to Karami’s arms, believing that humans are better than vampires.
He desperately kicks the ground with his legs to get as far away from the vampire as possible, and tries his best to get further inside.
“Eeee… ! Sob!”
A girl groaning and convulsing in fear.
“Oh, my. You must be very scared. The young believer is trembling. Shouldn’t you comfort him, Saint?”
It was like that even without saying anything.
When Elise tried to calm the girl down with her divine power in her hand, the girl was startled and violently pushed her hand away.
Bam!
“읏… ?”
Elise opened her eyes wide, as if in great shock.
‘Why are you making that face?’
The girl’s reaction was so natural, but Elise couldn’t understand it for a moment.
Suddenly, a blood-stained floor comes into view.
The puddle of blood reflected her like a mirror.
The appearance of a saint that is nowhere to be found.
Red eyes.
Long, prominent canines.
Two pairs of wings that humans do not have.
In the bloody waves, what was looking at her was an ugly monster.
“──Ugh… !”
He reached out and swept through the puddle of blood.
The blood that had been clear as a mirror began to ripple and ripple, and the reflected shape became distorted. However, when the water subsided, the red eyes looked at her once again.
The enemy’s eyes sparkle with instinct.
Only then does Elise realize.
The monster is herself.
“No, no… .”
Elise’s breathing became rapid.
My hands were shaking.
No.
There is a misunderstanding.
Just listen to me for a moment.
Elise reaches out to the crying girl to explain, but her fingertips are already stained with blood.
The girl looks at Elise with eyes filled with fear. Elise knows why the girl looks at her like that.
It’s because I know that look in your eyes.
Hers too──I’ve seen those eyes in the past.
The corpses of girls piled up in a corner of the lab.
The nuns who writhe in fear until the very end and then die.
And the blue-haired girl who was covered in blood and could not be saved.
However, it was not the evil researcher but Elise herself who made the girl tremble in fear before her eyes.
“… Ah, ahh… … … .”
A sob escaped.
Not sadness, but disgust.
What she cursed and hated so much.
A being that trampled on him, killed his friends, and took everything away. He was reduced to a monster no different from them.
Elise was so shocked that she couldn’t come to her senses.
“It seems like the saintess’s condition is not good. Now, little nun. If you go that way, you can get out of here. When you go out, everyone will be lying down, so you can lie down next to them.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the candidate nun jumped up from her seat. She ran so hard that she seemed to be about to fall over, and then went out the door through which Karami had come in.
Karami turned his gaze.
Elise was rubbing her hands and clothes, as if trying to wipe away the blood.
It was a meaningless act.
Because she is already tainted.
No matter how much I scrubbed or wiped, dirty blood that could not be erased had seeped into my body.
“Do it in moderation. It won’t make a difference.”
At those words, Elise’s movements suddenly stopped.
He looked at Karami with a creaky nod.
“… What?”
“You already vaguely noticed. Even if you pray for a hundred days, God won’t save you. It’s pointless to deny it. You’re definitely a vampire──.”
Elise rushed in at once.
He grabbed Karami by the collar and threw him down.
with a splash.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Elise thrust her tongue fiercely into his nose.
“It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault! If you hadn’t bought me. If you hadn’t brought me here, this wouldn’t have happened!”
“It’s all thanks to me. Because I bought you, I don’t have to fool people, I was able to become a nun, which I wanted to do so badly, and I was able to become a saint.”
“What on earth do you want that you’re torturing me like this? What on earth did I do wrong that you can’t live with me like this?”
“There’s only one thing I’ve wanted from the beginning. Elise, your liberation.”
Elise gritted her teeth.
“That’s why you want to drink blood. You want to drink blood and become a true saint, hear the oracle, and be freed from this monstrous body!”
“But you won’t be able to hear the trust.”
“Then what do you want me to do!!! This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work either, so what do you want me to do?!”
Phew!
A sea of blood erupted in Elise’s castle.
A pitter-patter of blood rain fell on his head.
-You shouldn’t listen to that man. He’s just trying to trick you.
“… … .”
– Bite that guy. It’s a shame he’s not a girl, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Bite that man and drink his blood!
“Looks like the vampire is talking. I recommend you don’t listen.”
As if unidentified adults were holding the child’s hands on both sides and telling him to follow them.
My head is in disarray because different things are being said in my head and in front of my eyes.
“… Now I don’t know what’s what. What should I do… I don’t know what’s what.”
Elise shook her head.
A lamb at the crossroads.
Who can show me the way?
All around are people wearing shepherd’s masks.
I have no idea who to follow.
“It seems like you aren’t conveying your true feelings towards me. Okay. Then I’ll prove it to you. How much I like you.”
Phew.
A pure white light spread out in a sea of blood.
The back of Karami’s hand sparkles and scales appear.
It’s proof time.
