"Yikes..."
At the end of the feeling that I don't know much about wandering around the space, my legs are on the snow.
By "Mass Teleport", Illis (Rene) moved to a forest close to the city of Wesala. In the night darkness, the trees are even darker, blocking even the slightest moonlight and starlight. It's a place where something is likely to come up... but rather, Illis (Rene) himself is on the 'out' side.
Slightly behind the metastasis of Iris (Rene), a still bloody corpse descends nearby. We magically transferred them together.
Inside, there is also a mixture of the Duke and the body of the Nightpython chief, who searched around in scattered imitation.
"Well, come on out"
It was slightly when Illis (Rene) called, and there was some blue and white fire in the universe.
When it gathers the herd, the blue and white light gradually takes a human form.
A blue-white, translucent woman was there.
A sad glance, even looking wet. Glossy hair and lips. I can't say it was beautiful, but I can feel the colour fragrance everywhere, even in my traveling attire.
It's Miriam, a dead whore with a grudge against Nightpython.
From the moment she makes the covenant to take revenge on her behalf, Miriam's soul is attached to Rene. You can call them anywhere you want.
"It's the body of the big boss of Night Python, as you wish."
Miriam opens her eyes to surprise when she points to the body of the monster Jijii, who is out of time with a distressed look.
'You've really done it...'
"Hey, I struggled, I struggled"
'Thank you. This will also reassure my parents' souls.
... No, I'm sure justice has been done to many people living in this country. My brothers and sisters might be able to help. "
"Ha... no justice"
I only laughed bitterly. Wrong is not an act for justice.
Even if it temporarily benefits many, the ultimate aim of Interpretation, Iris (Rene), is to destroy everything. At least Ciel-Teira will perish from now on.
I'm just saying that I needed to get Miriam's soul for that.
Once again, Iris (Rene) observes Miriam. with a magical feeling, not visually.
It felt like burning the surface of my skin.
Possibilities hidden in the depths of the soul… I feel a tremendous fluctuation of power that was never released until the end of my life.
- This kid's got a lot of talent. Don't be a girl whore. If you were training as a magician, you'd probably be the best user in the country...
Magic users are said to be precious. Few possess qualities.
But then I wonder if Iris (Rene) can't realize the system of looking for people with qualities… such as measuring the magical qualities of all citizens like a medical examination. It would be a huge loss to leave the holders of valuable talent buried without even knowing who they are.
Well, that's why it's a convenient bait for Rene. If you can eat all this soul and help, you'll also be rewarded for the hard work of imitating it like undercover.
Miriam shrugged herself a little frightened, looking at Iris (Rene).
"Well, then it's time to collect the money"
"Ah......"
Just a little, Miriam retreated.
A ghostly 'one step behind' place?
'Yay, what exactly happens when you can eat your soul? How do you feel......'
"I don't know what it's like to be able to eat because I've never experienced it, but I can explain what happens if I talk about it.
Your soul permanently loses its individuality as one person and becomes the part that makes me up.
Souls usually don't disappear or lose shape that easily. Because even if you lose your memory in a circle, it can still be "pieces".
But I'm going to break down your soul now and absorb it into a material that strengthens your soul (from). The existence of you will disappear permanently from this world and circle. "
'Huh...!
An obvious fear and disgust appeared in Miriam's eyes.
In this world, it is assumed that the souls of the dying will return to the Great God and will eventually be born again in this world. It is a revolving idea that exchanges the core of faith. It is magically proven, so it may be more 'theoretical' than 'ideology'.
That is why evil gods who take their souls from it and make demons and undead and their own armies are hated. But the temple also says that the souls who became demons can return to the Great God if they repent of their deeds.
The word of Illis (Rene) to devour his soul and even extinguish it from the circle was the ultimate in blasphemy. It's more blasphemous than to insult a saint than to burn a scripture.
There's quite a bit of magic about using souls, but that's 'using' in the sense of taking stock, if you like. It is God's realm to mess with the soul itself or erase it. It was something that could be exchanged because it was Rene who gave the Evil God immediate protection (cheat).
Now Miriam seems to understand. I don't really resent myself, what did I get my hands on?
I think I noticed. He prayed that he should not pray, that he should not pray.
"This one. The contract is in shape, but it's actually a soul takeover, poking a security hole called 'resentment you can't form a Buddha'."
"Huh...? Huh...?
"Clearing up that grudge is a process that puts holes in it and says it makes the contents delicious... yeah, well, in short"
A thin gold chain twelve times twelve jumped out of the body of Iris (Rene), wrapping around Miriam's body.
This doesn't actually have chains. The connection between Miriam and Rene's soul is just being visualized.
"No matter how scared you are, you can't run anymore, so don't hesitate to cry."
――
Miriam raised a voiceless scream.
Turn your back and move your legs desperately trying to escape from Illis (Rene), but that just scratches the universe and doesn't advance at all. The moment the covenant is fulfilled, Miriam's soul is already imprisoned by René.
"Yes, you have words to say at a time like this. A thankful heart for those who feed."
"Hey, what...!?
There doesn't seem to be any such culture in this world... at least in Ciel-Teira, but still, Illis (Rene) dares to join hands in a style that is familiar to him in his previous life.
"I'll have it."
'Yes, no... no... no...!
No, no, no, no, no!
The wind broke out to echo Miriam's screams.
It's not a real wind, it's gravity to the soul.
Miriam rises like a leaf of trees that can be winded up, wrapped in chains of gold, and jumps towards Illis (Rene).
Screaming broke off, and Iris (Rene) felt the warm stain all over his body.
The existence of Miriam became food and vanished.
"That fear, sweet on the mouth... heh, it was a pleasure"
Tasteing the end of Miriam and the fear unleashed from his soul in doing so, Iris (Rene) joined hands in a superior mood. It was nature as an avis spirit to feel the fear and despair of others as' delicious'.
In the body...... Rene's soul, which was precisely the main body, was filled with a sense of exaltation with increasing power.
-... okay, the standouts were right. Pretty good! If eating soul normally is Slime's EXP, wouldn't this have worked as well as defeating Metal King!?
Illis (Rene) feels the magic flow in him.
I felt a flurry of forces pouring like a blood tide. About twice as much as I've ever had as a general feeling.
This is the hard part of not having 2x MP or 2x magic damage, but instead I got a new (...) move (...) as I was aiming for. New abilities are familiar to me, as if I had them since I was born.
Anyway, there's no doubt Rene has stepped up significantly as an undead.
- You can win now. To that Lawrence...... I mean, to this country!
"Well, now we've achieved our initial goal..."
I'm not going straight into King's Capital just because I've leveled up how much. Not until you're ready for it.
It is the Duke of Gerald who needs it for that. It didn't have to be him, but I got it with the Night Python boss, so I'll be good.
Looking at scattered corpses, think about future policies Iris (Rene).
But, uh, perceive the approaching emotions and get into shape.
- Who...? Get out of the city...... straight here? Did they notice anything? Did you hear that scream earlier?
... I don't know why. This forest is also surrounded by junction items.
There should be no sound, no signs of it leaking out the woods, something coming straight up as if I had guessed something.
The number is three.
