Ruvia Pristine transformed into an old woman in just a few decades.

The appearance has changed from a young 20s to an 80s.Originally, even if she is about 40 years old, she has an abnormal appearance.

"Well, why..."

She was shaking her body by looking at her hands and wondering why her body had changed.Wrinkled hands. It's completely different from a few minutes ago.

"Mr. Pristine."

I stopped the Gates behind me from accidentally approaching.

The changes that have taken place in Ruvia are over.However, the situation is not over yet.

The guard who was stunned by the sudden transformation also noticed and stood in front of the old woman to protect Ruvia.

Particles of light appear in front of them, and when they become human, they move from place to place in transition.

Long time no see.

A familiar man showed up.It was Pasryl Tramers who came into contact with the mercenary regiment to deliver the cursed sword in the warehouse.

I can feel the magic residue from the necklace he's wearing.It seems that the necklace of the magical instrument enables transfer , allowing the movement of things in a short distance in an instant.It is a difficult substitute to use in combat because of the magical reaction at the destination, but if it is in the same building, the travel time can be shortened.

Sudden visitors. Guards can't help but be vigilant.

Wait a minute.

Ruvia, whose body had aged, was calmly analyzing the situation.

There must be something suspicious about appearing suddenly in the current situation, and it must have something to do with my change.The situation was the same, but since the passeryl standing in front of me was small and smiling, I decided that I had to ask about the situation.

But I can't keep up with my old body.Even though my head knows what to ask, my voice is drawn from the shock.

Opening or closing your mouth is the limit to speaking well.

"... why are you here?"

Gates, who couldn't keep his mouth shut, opened his mouth.

If there is no problem with asking from a remote location, leave it as it is.

"No, I'm here to see if the experiment went well."

"Experiment?"

"Yes, an experiment called 'reversing the curse'."

Because it happened to Ruvia, I always thought that someone had cursed it.But in fact, it seemed the opposite.

Remember when she didn't show up?

"Oh. About four or five years ago... I heard you were sick and lying down."

"But the truth is different."

"No, don't..."

I heard about Parrill earlier, and Ruvia said so, but I want to stop whether it was a fact that I didn't want the words spoken to be known.

However, the guards were also unable to move in a strange atmosphere.

"By that time, I will begin to see her beauty."

Old.

My eyes became saggy and my skin lost its gloss.Every time I looked at my wrinkled hands, I began to feel fear.Fear was strong because she was a woman who had been trading her beauty as a weapon.

I took various measures to overcome the fear.

Take beauty medicine and deceive yourself with makeup.I used all the means I had to get it, and I got information from many people.But one of the people I talked to threw a key.There is also a limit to stopping it due to the effects of an inanimate life that prioritizes business at a young age.

Unable to be completely overcome, she had to dye her hands with contraindications.

That's the spell.

Absorbs vitality from young women and absorbs youth together.

Ruvia, who had cast a spell on her hand, succeeded in regaining her youth.

However, the woman who had sucked up her vitality at the price turned into an old woman without remnant, and some of them chose to die themselves.

"You're a terrible person, right? I sacrificed thousands of women just to keep my beauty."

It is not enough to sacrifice one woman to preserve the beauty of Ruvia as she ages.It took many sacrifices to keep getting old.Moreover, it looks much younger than necessary.Probably because he experienced rejuvenation, he wanted to be younger.

Dozens of girls were killed as a result.

"Why did you do that...?"

Do you know him?

To Ruvia, it was a secret that no one should know about the spell.

Once it's known, I can't help but care.

Who leaked the information?

"You used slaves for a spell."

There are many slavers who don't care about what happens after they are sold, whether they are slaves sold for money or criminal slaves.

Therefore, it was a person who had no problems even if he was gone.

But some people care if they don't know where they are.

"Looks like you sandwiched a trusted merchant between them.We couldn't get to the Pristine Chamber of Commerce from the slaves we sold. "

"Then...."

"But it doesn't change when people disappear."

Something is happening.

For Parrill, that was enough.

"No, I can't believe I don't doubt who gave me the spell."

"That can't be right...! That's better..."

"You promised to disrupt the legend by adding more people to trouble, even if it was a fraudulent way of doing business.And as a prerequisite for my reward, I was offered knowledge of magic. "

"......!"

Parrill's words seemed to be true, and Ruvia chewed them in regret.

"Until I do the same thing."

"Eh...."

"Instead of acting in the client's interest, I asked for information about the other person who had the same deal as I did.And he told me so easily. "

For a client, it's just a deal.

I was asked to provide information in lieu of compensation.It was irrelevant to the client, even if the information was disadvantageous to other business partners.

"It's your fault you didn't shut up.No, I couldn't keep my mouth shut because I couldn't move with the money. "

They were both asked by someone to dispel the confusion.

Ruvia was forced to help because she was caught in a reward.

"Parrill, what do you want?"

Gates asks as a friend.

I don't know the purpose of Parrill so far.

"It's simple. I have to confuse myself as a business partner."

The Parsley necklace glows suspiciously.

It must be a magical tool that protects you from the curse.

"So far, to have her confess her sins by playing with the lives of many women to satisfy her desires.And from here on out, I sacrifice her to close my deal. "

Immediately after emitting a strong light.....

Bhu!?

A lot of blood is thrown out of Ruvia's squatting mouth, and the meat bubbles up.

It instantly swells more than twice its original size and is large enough to fill a wide commercial Alliance aisle.

Ruvia's guards can't do anything to get away, and we're going backwards.

"What did you do!?"

Gates screamed as he was forced to back off.

It was clear from the circumstances that Pasryl did something.

"Until now, I've just returned the youth she absorbed with her spell.However, the youthfulness absorbed so far is not enough to cover just one life force.That's why I stopped at the tip of my life.And I stopped doing anything from here, so I don't know where to stay. "

As a result of the continuous expansion, Ruvia became what could only be called a lump of meat.

The guards were stunned not knowing what to do because the subject of the escort had changed.Still, I am vigilant enough to protect myself.

"Eh...."

However, the tentacles could not be expected to grow from the meat mass, and one of the guards would pierce his chest.

"Gah...!"

Guard screaming.

Gradually it gets older, sucking all its vitality into the meat mass.

"Start a runaway in search of missing vitality.She can now turn into a mere life-threatening being from a blind human being. "

The guard closest to the beginning was sacrificed.

Other guards will also be targeted as prey.

This is the second stage of my plan.

Start expanding in search of more vitality.

Soon, the building will be too big to fit inside, destroying walls and ceilings.

I open my mouth when I see such a sight.

"- All right, let's go."
