BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

Episode 5: The Silverly Truth/Silver Truth

The Valentis Ruins District, where Bell and Knight were no longer present, was surrounded by tranquility. Reunited with the white boy, Bell flew out of the castle, but their appearance was not found around the castle.

The only thing in the ruins district was the appearance of the King Sertoria Army... it wasn't. Careful with the surrounding eyes, two people were walking around the ruins district.

"Sister. Where's your brother?

"Come on, aren't you seeing“ that guy ”by now?

There were Allen Levy and Lili Wallace. How do you say you snuck into this place that's off-limits?

Lili is walking around vigilantly. And Allen followed Lili like that, bored.

The fact that they are in the off-limits site district is unnatural in itself, but what purpose did they come to Valentis for?

There should be no ingredient in Valentis for the "Dawn Moon Examination” to break the curse of sleep. Besides, who the hell is Lili talking about?

………

There was a shadow watching the two suspicious people from afar. The person has been observing the movements of the two for some time now. If that's who the Serbian King's Army is, they should be holding Lilli and the others in captivity.

Elba and the white boy may not have been the only suspicious people witnessed in Valentis.

Tung Tung...

"Sorry, I'm busy right now"

After a while, Allen abruptly followed Lili's back. Lili lightly adorned him like that. Apparently, Lili is looking for something.

Tung Tung... Tung Tung

But Allen didn't stop Lili from putting on her back. Instead of stopping it, its frequency goes up over time.

"Uh, what is it now?

To Allen, who was too persistent, Lili finally cut the paralysis. Lili can't concentrate on what she's looking for if she keeps getting caught up.

Finally Lili breaks better and looks back.

"Sister, behind you"

"Behind?"

When Lili finally found out she looked back, Allen pointed behind herself. Behind Allen is a pile of debris. Did he want to show Lili the rubble?

"Oh, my God, there's nothing."

"Look more up!

"Huh?"

What Allen wanted Lili to see was what existed on the rubble. On the rubble, I saw something like a shadow. Because I have the sun on my back, I can't know what it looks like in the backlight.

The person was the mysterious one who had been observing Lili and Allen since earlier. Allen had noticed its existence before Lili did.

"Who's that guy?

"People here...? Someone from the King Sertoria Army, I suppose."

Lili assumed that there were no human beings in this ruins district other than the Serbian King's Army. She's not a member of the Serbian King's Army herself, but she seems to have forgotten that.

"If you get caught, it's a hassle, so we'll move on. You haven't even noticed we're not here yet."

Lili didn't care so much about the shadow on the rubble. She thought the figure was from the Serbian King's Army, who was monitoring the ruins district from a high place.

Lili, staring at the shadow for a little while, immediately turns back and begins to move on. Allen was afraid of the shadow on the rubble, but Lili doesn't seem to care that much.

"... come on"

Shortly after, Lili looks back because she feels she heard something. Behind her, of course, was a pile of rubble and a mysterious figure on it.

The voice I heard was certainly not Allen's. For example, did someone on the rubble speak out?

"Sorry..."

Now Lili heard the words clearly.

And it also became clear that the Lord of his voice was a man on the rubble. There are no human beings around but Lili and the others.

"Is that what you're saying to me?

Lili made a loud noise, forgetting that she had broken into the restricted area. Speaking out loud, he dared to return the words to the man on the rubble.

The person talking to Lili or Allen is definitely the first thing.

"Yep."

⁉ ︎

The mysterious figure then reacted immediately to Lili's words.

And soon, Lili will be stunned. The person who was supposed to have been on the rubble just momentarily moved to Lili's present. It was certain that the person who appeared before Lili was a black magician (Grigori).

"Who are you?

Lili inadvertently lagged behind in that threatening move. Lili was on strong alert to the woman who suddenly appeared and packed her distance. Who the hell is she and what has she come near Lili for?

"You don't have to be scared of anything. I'm on your side."

"Huh?"

The silver-haired woman smiled somewhere pregnant with suspicion.

She was dressed in a black rider suit. A perfectly fitted rider suit accentuates her beautiful body line. Long, windy silver hair appeared in black clothes.

"Wait a minute. Please answer my question."

Lili was just confused. A mysterious person who suddenly appears and claims to be on his side. You can't trust someone like that.

The silver-haired woman stares at Lili with warm eyes, but Lili had a suspicious gaze at her.

"I..."

"Am I...?

"... no, I still can't tell you"

"You can't be afraid of people who don't know their identity."

The silver-haired woman could not answer Lili's question. This reinforces Lili's suspicions. So far, this silver-haired woman has nothing but suspicion.

"Right... what you say is the best"

"Yes, I am."

"Well, then I'll say it with all my heart."

"Hmm?"

After a glitch in her heart, the silver-haired woman decided to reveal her own identity. Lili wants to know who the woman in front of her is more than she started talking about.

"I am your... your mother"

"... what?

Lili accidentally voiced an unexpected response. Someone who suddenly shows up and calls himself his mother. Lili couldn't understand what was happening in front of her right now.

"... what are you talking about?

That's why I'm your mother.

"Wait a minute, please. My mother, hung by the Sleep Curse, sleeps in Riorg. You are not a mother. He's a total stranger."

Lili didn't understand what a silver-haired woman said... rather than trying to understand. Lili's mother is just one Stella Wallace. Lili embarked on a journey into the wider world to break the “curse of sleep” hanging on Stella like that.

"I can't help it. Because the time you spent with me was really short. So big..."

"What are you talking about...?

"I'm glad you look well..."

"You... what is it? Stop if you're making fun of me. I... I left the house for my mom to wake her up. Stop kidding."

Lili's head was on the verge of flaking to a woman who suddenly named herself a mother. Understanding didn't catch up.

Lili's mother is only one and is now asleep in Riorg. The woman's words denying it confused Lili.

"I'm not kidding. I always wanted to apologize to you."

"Ever since I was a baby, I've been raised by a woman called Stella Wallace. You're not Stella Wallace."

I'm not a mother except Stella Wallace. That was Lili's opinion. There is no way that a human being who suddenly appears can accept that he is his mother.

"Stella Wallace is not your mother."

"My mom is Stella Wallace alone."

"Stella Wallace is the parent of the upbringing, and I am the parent who gave birth to you."

⁉ ︎

And the mysterious woman went on to reveal the truth of the shock. The silver-haired woman in front of you is her biological parent, and Stella Wallace, sleeping in Riorg, is her raised parent. If you look closely into a woman's eyes, it had the same brown glow as Lili's.

“I can see it I can see it... the day you meet your mother is not that far away. Not so far away, in the future, not so far from here, you will meet your own mother..."

“Unfortunately... it doesn't look like Atashi in what way you meet your mother. Encounters may not be the way you wanted them to be... you see light and darkness in your future”

At that time, Lili was remembering the prophecies Baba Fangas had heard in the Trump Circus. The future always moves. Baba Fangas' prophecy often failed, but the prophecy about Lili was centered.

Valentis was closer to Voltaire than the port town of Riorg.

And Lili's face to face mother was another person, not Stella Wallace.

"..................... lying"

Lili was finally beginning to understand the truth about the shock. Baba Fangas' prophecy gave the woman in front more credibility to what she said. I understand, but I can't accept it. That was how Lili felt right now.

"I'm not lying. I did leave you, the newborn..."

"Oh no... you can't believe that such an irresponsible person is my mother"

In an attempt to get her real daughter to accept her, the silver-haired woman begins to talk about the silver truth. Lili was dumped by her real mother, not knowing anything. That cruel truth was still not acceptable to Lili.

"It was Wallace and his wife who saved you from being left behind. Sounds like a couple who didn't deserve a baby thought you were a gift from God. It's good to have lots of love..."

"Mom and Dad didn't say that..."

"They did what they thought you were."

"Don't talk to me like I know what you know about Mom and Dad."

To what the woman said as if she knew everything, Lili let her go exasperated. There's no way this woman can understand the thoughts of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace. As far as Lili knows, the woman in front of her must have never visited Mr. and Mrs. Wallace.

"I know. I know I'll never understand how they feel."

"If you know, just disappear from here..."

"I can't do that."

"Why?"

Lili wanted to get this silver-haired woman out of her sight as soon as possible. Whatever she talks about, just make Lili exasperate. Nothing good happens.

"I know you say you're selfish. But, you know, I want to spend some time with you, as a parent and a child. I want you to be your mother."

"Didn't you hear me? I already have an important mom. A selfish man like you can't be anyone's mother."

To the woman's selfish offer, Lili exploded her anger. Lili couldn't accept a person who abandoned her as her mother.

"I was wrong back then. I want to make amends... please"

"That's crazy... you can't be a parent and child with someone you don't even know your name from in the first place!

There will be no one who suddenly shows up and calls himself his mother, the first to be accepted. In the first place, the mysterious woman has yet to reveal who she is. All I knew was to say Lili's mother.

"Well... I should have named you first. I'm Lilith. It's your mother."

"Lilith......? No way, Lilith is from that demon..."

"... yes, I am the devil. Even this body isn't really mine. But there's no falsehood in thinking of you."

…………………

Lili, who hears too much shocking truth, ceases. Speaking of Lilith, it was the name of the demon Belzebub's phantom said one day.

Lilith, who is involved with the “first man," is a big man among demons. What Baba Fangus said about "darkness” would be about this fact.

Lilith, naturally now in front of Lili, was possessed by someone. Demons cannot exist in the world of Oz without vessels.

"... I can't believe that. That can't be right."

"You can't believe it, can you? But you're my daughter."

"Of the devil... I can't believe he's the devil's child..."

Not much of despair, any expression had disappeared from Lili's face. In her head, which she had never suspected because she believed she was a pure person before, she was bland. Lilith's words rush through her head again and again.

"But your father is human. So you're half human, too"

"So what? It doesn't make any difference that I'm a demon child. I would never believe that. You're not my mother."

Lili was a child of the devil Lilith. Demons are evil beings who, instead of giving them power, take away all sorts of things from humans. That, Lilith, is no exception.

Stella Wallace is falling asleep by the power of the devil. Demons are hateful, fearful beings. Lili, who found out that such a demon constituted half of her body, tried to deny all the truth.

……………

…………………………

"..................... I can't help it. Naturally... you're not guilty."

After a long silence, Lilith finally opened her mouth. Lilith looked sadly at her daughter, suffering the unacceptable truth of the shock. Even if it's the devil, my real daughter would be important.

"Just disappear. I have nothing more to talk to you about."

"Fine... I'll disappear for you. But after I turn you off."

⁉ ︎

Lilith once again uttered words she would never have imagined to Lilli trying to get rid of as much as she had ever done.

Lili opened her eyes unexpectedly when she heard the words. The statements made so far and those made by Lilith now contradict each other greatly.

"If it doesn't belong to me, it's easier to disappear."

The inconsistency was quickly resolved. It was at her discretion to solve it. In the end, Lilith hasn't changed anything from when she dumped Lili. I guess that's what you're saying.

She's a demon, too, trying to love her real daughter like a human being.

Here and now, a battle was about to begin between Lili, whose magic was completely unusable, and the devil, who was the root of black magic (Grimoire).

But the results are visible before the battle begins. Because Lili, who can't use any black magic (Grimoire), can't fight the devil.
