Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 97 Revenge
Dark magic, the Sixteen Nights, is powerful, but when pushed, it's not much different from a physical attack. I can't expect delicate swordsmanship without swinging my own sword... and I think it would be better to simmer more ideas about large-scale combat.
When I thought about going around like that, I immediately arrived at Mt. Kuroumi.
Hmm! You're home!!
At the foot of Mt. Kuroumi are the injured Titans and the Milnare and Xanthi who treat them.
"Are you treating me here?
"They're all scratches! If you lick something like this, it'll heal!
Bassin!
"Yiiiiiiit!!
Zanty slaps her wound without hesitation. A demon...
"What about Nil?
It seems that Milnare is seeing Nil, and I can't keep quiet and ask her.
"... it's okay. I'm just out of my mind. I'll wake up soon.
"... hah... good. Thank you."
"I just saw the condition.
I don't want to thank you, Milnare that makes my hand twitch.
"We have a lot to talk about, but you can rest now. I haven't talked since I woke up.
"Thank you... honestly, I've been wanting to lie down for a while.
"Wahaha! Go to sleep. Go to sleep!
I lay beside Nil as Zanty urged me.
Both Nil and I are covered in blood, but there is no magic or health left to clean it up.
When I wake up, I'll wash my whole body first....
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"...... so!
"... that's right!
Your awareness rises to the noise around you.
"You guys! There are wounded people here, so be quiet!
Gong!
"Bwahaha!
Hahaha!
That unique laugh is Anti and Candy.
When I opened my eyelids, Nil and I were lying in a hole in Mt. Black Cloud.
How long have you been asleep?
"No! Sinya, wake up!
"Mmm! Looks like you're awake, Sinya!
"So be quiet!
Gong!
"Bwahaha!
Hahaha!
Anti and Candy laugh happily if they don't have anything to do with it. They're supposed to be here as wounded too... as usual.
Looking aside, Nil is still breathing. I don't have a bad complexion, and I also have a millet's heartbeat. I know you don't have to worry... but I'm really worried about you.
"Sinya, how are you?
"Ah, ah. I don't seem to be feeling well.
I tried turning my shoulders and neck, but there was no pain or dryness.
"That's good! Dad wants to talk to you, so if you're gonna be okay, come to the settlement!
"... I see. Okay, I'll be right there.
I looked at Nil once and replied to Anti.
Leaving Mt. Black Cloud and heading to the settlement, Zanti was busy moving while giving instructions to the other giants.
"Nh! You're here, Sinya!
"Everybody... what are you doing?
"Relocate the settlement. Now we know what they're like with the Holy Knights. If you keep sitting here, you're more likely to attack one after another. It would be remiss if we knew that the Virgin and the others had come to us. I don't think you'll know because you disguised the Virgin as dead, but just in case.
The Knights of Love were killed, but not the Knights of Love were destroyed. I just shredded the tip of the iceberg. Zanty's reading is probably right. Even if the Virgin decides she's dead, it's hard to imagine giving up the power of the Titans.
"Where are you going?
"Nothing changes around here. It's good to have a hole in the mountain.
The scale of what I'm saying is huge...
"Never mind. Originally, we live near food, so we're good at mobility.
I see...
I'm sorry I got caught up in this… I thought I was saying the word differently… so I couldn't keep saying it.
"... Sinya.
"What?
"I am the king of the clan, but most of the Titans have already been left to Anti and Canti.
So I'm not going to complain about their decision. We talked about it with the settlers.
"... ahh.
"But to do it, you have to win. This fight."
"Of course.
"... hahahaha! That's good!
Did Zanty give you the letter...? Four times the size of other letters...
"I don't want to write about it like that again!
"... is that okay?
The handing over of this letter would be different from what Anti and Candy promised.
The Titans will be on our side forever. It doesn't mean that Anti or Canti can help you personally. If we lose the war, the entire Titan tribe will be in danger.
"In fact, when the time comes, there will be four of us out of the Giants. That doesn't change. But this is what we Titans mean.
This fight was supposed to be one we had to fight. I heard that they had just taken part in such a fight and that they had stood in the toughest spot.
Isn't it strange that we don't risk our lives for our friends who risked their lives? If we don't do this, the name of the Titans will be destroyed.
Besides, I just told you. I'm going to win this fight.
There are no two words for a man. Isn't it?
"... ahh.
"Wahaha! That's good!
Zanty was delighted when she clapped her hands.
There's one more reason you can't lose...
"Hmm. I'm done. The woman I brought in yesterday put her to bed over there. You want to talk about it?
"Oh, thank you.
Zanty also said she didn't want to thank you, so she pulled her hand.
Going to the place Zanti had said, the Virgin sat with her back against the wall and leaned down in a small hole in the mountain skin.
Zeve arrives nearby as a watchman, lowering his hips to a large rock.
"Zeve."
"Oh, there you are. Looks like you just woke up.
"Thank you for everything.
"Don't talk about the smell of water now.
"Master!
When I was talking to Zeve, I saw Nil running backwards with all his might, calling me. It's a real run. I thought you were pretty weak...
"Hey, hey! Nil, don't run so fast!
"Hah... hah..."
Nil breathes on his shoulders when he comes near me. I should have fallen just now, but is it okay to move like this...?
"Nil, you just woke up, so be quiet.
"Hah... hah... no... it's okay!
Nil came all the way towards me.
"What a temper, huh?!
Yes!
Like when I fought the Canary, my magic almost disappeared, so I think my body forcibly went to sleep, but I was unconscious at that time, but this time I was unconscious.
I think it was that close, and I'd like you to rest a little longer... but it's hard to say it's no good if the person said this and actually ran with all his strength.
I just want you to work on your body a little harder... but I'll take care of it for a while.
"Ah! Mr. Zeve! Good morning!
"Oops! I see you're feeling better.
Yes!
"But be careful. If you fall again, it'll be easier for you.
"Uhh... yes..."
Mr. Zeve, are you serious? I want to be handsome too.
"Your husband came to see the Virgin, didn't he?
Ah.
"Is that it...?
Nil looks at the saint lying in the back and asks.
"Probably. Ask me now, including that.
"Um... was the scum that hurt your husband different? I heard you were dead.
"Ah... that's the Knight of Love, a man named Jake.
"That's right...."
Nil that somehow shows a convincing reaction.
"You're not surprised, are you?
"Ah, yes. I was convinced that he was a man because he felt uncomfortable.
"Female intuition...? Wow... more than that. Scrap is not a woman's word.
"I'm sorry, too. That's right. I'll change the language.
He is worthless and inferior to dust. That's right. "
"Oh, oh..."
No, it's getting worse...
For Nil, even after he died, he was an unforgivably hateful opponent... but he didn't even speak the language, and I didn't even know he was a man until now... didn't you like how much he tried to touch me...?
"Now let's hear more about the Virgin than about the dead.
"... I see.
A saint sitting with her back against a wall in a place where the mountain skin is lightly cut off. She doesn't seem willing to move or resist.
"... are you okay?
"Eh... ah!
When I approached the Virgin, I looked at my face and corrected my posture as if in a hurry.
Dirty, rusty, stretched, white hair, turbid green eyes, long ears, and a full-body galloping elf woman.
I'm still wrapping a slice of a tent wrapped around my body yesterday.
"Is your body okay?
"Yes, yes. I used healing magic.
First aid. Thank you very much.
A saint with her head down.
"I need to ask you a few questions.
"Ask me anything. I'll answer anything I know.
Especially... if there's information to kill them all, I'd be happy to tell you.
Her cloudy eyes shine a strong, dull light only when she says she wants to kill the Knights.
"I think those eyes deserve to be believed..."
"Master. If you are unsure whether you believe her words, please use them.
I will hand over the plate Nil has seen.
A plate from a slaver when he bought Nil to prove slave ownership.
"Now she has no lord. Therefore, I would like to register your husband as my husband once, and then cancel the registration after I have finished asking questions.
It's probably a temporary registration. Certainly that way she won't be able to tell me a lie.
"Where does this stuff come from...?
"They came out when they examined the bodies of the Knights of the Holy Order.
"I see..."
"If you can believe me, please do so. That's faster, and I don't mind.
The Virgin looks me in the eye and says it's clear.
"... I see. Well, I'm sorry, but let me use this.
"Yes."
Infuse magic and temporarily register me as the Lord of the Virgin.
"Alright, let's get started. Don't lie to me.
"Yes."
You may approach the core from the beginning… but let's have a little conversation with her. I want to know who he is.
"First of all... yes. Can you tell me your name?
"My name is Lufana.
"I'm Sinya. This is Nil.
First of all, is Lufana the user of healing magic called the Virgin?
"Yes, I don't know if the word Virgin… is appropriate, but I can use healing magic.
"... I hardly know anything about the Virgin. Can you tell me what you know?
"I see.
After nodding small, Lufana starts talking about what she knows.
"First of all, the existence called the Virgin and the Holy Knights can use healing magic, which belongs to light magic. Only healing magic… is more accurate.
"Only... can you use magic other than healing magic?
"Yes, magic other than healing magic can't even use the level of simple magic used in life. In addition, healing magic can only be found in women.
At least as far as I know, neither was clear about why…
As for the reason, it doesn't have much to do with Nil and me who can't use healing magic.
"What kind of magic is healing magic?
"Depending on the thing, basically, it's magic to regenerate it back to a healthy state a little while ago.
"Is that different from healing wounds?
"I tend to be mistaken for healing any wound, but for example, old wounds long ago cannot be healed by ordinary healing magic.
It turns out Brian's face was back after Nil's Aquaspire, but the big old scar on his face hasn't healed.
Reading and restoring the condition just before the wound... is it magical... and then poison doesn't work, and it's much more troublesome magic than just healing.
"I heard that the existence of the Virgin is quite rare...?
"Yes… I don't know the exact number, but I've heard them say that the Holy Knights have fewer than a hundred people in all.
Besides, many of them are enough to heal the scratches... "
"How many people like Lufana can use powerful healing magic?
"I only know about a few people...
The story around here is consistent with Nil's story. The shackles on her neck didn't react at all.
"It seems that the healing magic used on the battlefield was only effective against the Knights of the Holy Knights. Is there such a healing magic?
"Yes, there is also healing magic that works only on certain people.
If you can show me that much, I'll get to the conclusion, even if I don't like it. After all, the presence of the Virgin is quite dangerous.
I wonder if she's an enemy or an ally... let's get to the core.
"I know a lot about healing magic. Next, Lufana herself. Sometimes it's hard to talk, but tell me honestly.
"I know.
I don't think I'm lost in her eyes.
"You were using healing magic to help the Knights. Was that an order from the Knight of Love?
"Yes."
"You didn't do what you wanted?
"Yes, I'm never one of them. Rather, I want to chop all the Holy Knights apart and kill them to feed the monsters.
Lufana's neck shackles don't even respond to pimples. It has now been established that she is not one of the Knights of the Holy Order.
Nil was nervous that something would happen, but it seems that her shoulders finally relaxed.
"I'm really glad to hear that.
"I'm really glad I proved it, too.
Lufana also closed her shoulders for the first time and exhaled deeply.
"Can I ask you a few more questions?
"Yes."
"The Knight of Love said he had Lufana, is that true?
"... yes.
Here's what Lufana told me.
Even though she was basically an elf with a lot of magic, she lived long ago thinking she didn't have any magic.
However, one day I had the opportunity to touch the magic tool that wouldn't activate without magic, and I knew that magic itself existed because it activated.
Knowing that magic can't be used even though there is magic, she finds out what it is and knows that there is a Virgin. And it seems that the Virgins use a special magic called healing magic, and they can't use any other magic.
Knowing that, she kept gathering all sorts of information and discovering the magic of healing.
Naturally, all she could do was envy the magic everyone was using, and she immediately tried it.
Then the wound healed in an instant.
When she couldn't suppress her exhilaration about using magic or having a special power that no one else had, she told the story to some people.
Soon the story spread and she was held, but the story was passed on to the Knights of the Holy Order, and three years ago she was finally captured by the Knights of the Holy Order near Hyormina. Probably Nerk's gang.
She tried to resist, but nobody noticed it because it was an unpopular place... Besides, she knew from what they heard later, it wasn't a disturbance. Few people knew about her who had originally lived in a small village, and they were told that there was no chance that anyone, including the villagers, would come to their aid, whether she had disappeared or had fallen into the hands of Nerk and Canaria… Either way.
Later, he was abducted and imprisoned by a man dressed as a woman named the Knight of Love.
And in order to make healing magic more powerful, he was whipped by the Knight of Love and kept applying healing magic to himself every day until he lost consciousness.
Elves, she had a lot of original magic, plus a lot of stretching, and she grew fast.
She was more special than she thought. Therefore, it continued to be used.
This was how she came to be used by the Holy Knights.
When I saw Lufana with a painful and painful face from time to time, I think there were many other worse things.
There were many other wounds on her body than the whip that I saw yesterday.
"... I can't forgive you! What a terrible thing!!
Nil does not hide his anger and grips his fist hard. As the same woman, as someone wearing the shackles of a slave, there must have been a feeling.
"... I really wanted to kill you..."
Lufana lifts her thin arm so thin that it will break if she touches it and mutters.
"But... I didn't have the strength to fight..."
She is a Virgin. There is no healing power, there is no fighting power. I'm sure he cursed it many times when he was in the cage.
"But Sinya and Nil killed that scum on my behalf.
It's been a long time since Lufana showed me a nice smile.
"At the end of the day, I was really happy and relieved to see my limbs crawling away.
Thank you very much.
Do you really think she's broken, smiling in peace and rejoicing in the death of the Knight of Love...?
I didn't look that way.
Some will deny revenge. I think there were a lot of people like that in the original world. It may depend on the type and depth of revenge, but at least I can't deny that Lufana wants revenge from the bottom of her heart.
It is said that vengeance produces nothing, that vengeance only produces vengeance... but most of the words of those who have never experienced such pain.
It doesn't matter to her. I just wanted to kill him. I just wanted him dead. I hated it so much.
Revenge doesn't produce anything? No, she definitely got peace with him dead.
Revenge only begets revenge? No. He would be crazier if he knew what he had done and avenged him.
If you wish someone to die and experience the same experience as someone who has experienced the pain of being able to rejoice in their death, you can say that revenge is not good...
I can't say even if my mouth is ripped. I don't want to say it.
