#.119

“It’s been a while.”

“I thought you were dead, but you’re alive.”

“My lifeline is tough.”

“Or you’re not Rebecca.”

Marius suddenly lunged at Rebecca without warning.

As he swung his sword, a sharp, cold wind sound cut through the air.

Rebecca dodged the sword with reaction speed that ordinary people could hardly see.

‘This isn’t a threat—he really intends to kill her.’

Marius’s movements weren’t simply meant to subdue.

Even though I knew nothing about swords, I could see they were extremely rough.

But as soon as he separated Rebecca from me, he knelt in front of me and checked on me.

“Are you hurt anywhere? Are you okay?”

“Uh, yeah. I’m fine.”

As soon as Marius confirmed my condition, he turned around again and remained on guard against Rebecca.

She clearly seemed to be enjoying watching Marius’s tense state.

“Lilliana. Go to your big sister.”

“The moment you move, I’ll blow up this entire room. You know that, right? I may not be as good as Francois, but I was quite a capable mage too. Though I used that skill to make things like love potions.”

“Lilliana. You must never leave your brother-in-law’s side. Understand?”

I have no idea what’s happening right now.

But seeing Marius so tense that his hand gripping the sword had turned white, it seems like a more frightening situation than I thought.

When Rebecca moved slightly, Marius flinched. I asked Rebecca while clutching Marius’s sleeve.

“Ms. Rebecca. Did you come back for revenge?”

“That woman isn’t Rebecca.”

“You’re scaring the child, Marius.”

Rebecca replied with a changed tone.

“Why don’t you stop the act? We all know you’re Razas wearing Rebecca’s mask.”

“Ah, how disappointing. It was quite fun tormenting that guy.”

When I couldn’t understand the situation, she explained.

“Rebecca summoned me in the underground prison. She said she’d do anything if I turned back time. It was a losing contract for me, but I accepted it thinking I could torment this woman down to her soul if I played it right.”

“Then Ms. Rebecca is…”

“That’s right. Dead. Without even knowing what I’d do with her body, she obediently handed over her body and soul! That stupid thing was screaming beside me even last night! Saying ‘Not Lilliana!'”

Rebecca, grinning from ear to ear, suddenly began chanting a spell.

Black mist began rising.

Soon shadows stretched long from the floor, connecting with the mist.

The shadows connected to the mist soon became solid hands that lunged like tentacles.

Marius swung his sword to cut off the hands while pushing me toward the door.

“Hurry and go!”

My being here wouldn’t help Marius at all.

I ran quickly, but blue flames erupted in front of the door.

Just the rippling heat felt like it would burn my skin.

“Gasp!”

I almost got burned reaching my hand toward the door.

As soon as I pulled my arm back, a black hand shot out from between the flames.

I thought I should dodge quickly, but I was too shocked to move.

I squeezed my eyes shut thinking my body would be pierced, but my body was lifted and spun to the side.

“Ugh.”

Marius, who had his arm pierced instead of me, asked me.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“B-brother-in-law. Are you okay? You’re bleeding!”

The black hand burrowed into the pierced arm and greedily drank the blood.

Marius set me down and swung his sword with his other hand to cut off the hand.

As soon as he shook it off, another hand flew from behind.

“No!”

I may dislike Marius, but I don’t want him to get hurt.

The only ones who can be mean to Marius and hurt him are me and my sisters.

The flying hand stopped abruptly in mid-air. The skin peeled off the black hand with a rustling sound.

Black mist leaked from where the skin disappeared. Then the mist and shadow separated, and the hand vanished.

“How dare you interfere with me again!”

Rebecca, suddenly contorting her face frighteningly, reached her hand toward me.

Black mist gathered around her hand again. But.

“Ugh!”

Serious burns began spreading across Rebecca’s body.

Since I couldn’t understand the situation, my legs trembled with fear.

Marius scooped me up and ran out of the room.

From the other end of the corridor, my big sister was running toward us, and Rebecca was chasing behind Marius.

Rebecca’s glowing red eyes were filled with ominous energy.

The burn marks had spread to her face, but she didn’t seem to feel pain as she ground her teeth without screaming once.

“This time I won’t be defeated like before.”

Rebecca took something from her pocket and drank it. Then all her burn marks disappeared.

At the same time, shadows stretched long from the floor as sharp tentacles chased us.

“Edith!”

My big sister passed by Marius, who was trying to hand me over, and lunged at Rebecca.

She sliced through the tentacles rushing at a speed too fast to follow with the eyes.

However.

“Ugh!”

A shadow hand blocked my big sister’s sword.

No, rather the shadow hand began squirming and devouring the sword.

“How did you avoid the Acolyte’s eyes?”

“The Acolyte is merely human, but I am the King of Darkness, Death, and Shadows. You too are nothing but a bug with slightly strong abilities.”

When Rebecca gestured, a fist as tall as a person flew from the air and struck my big sister.

Thud! With a terrible sound, my big sister flew into the wall.

Marius, who had been trying to evacuate me to safety, shook off the blood still dripping from his arm and said.

“Lilliana. Run away. I’ll save your big sister.”

Marius ran toward where the fight was taking place.

I could see my big sister, embedded in the wall, bleeding as she raised her body.

Around my big sister, the air crackled and froze as ice spikes formed.

Dark magic and countless ice spikes like rain collided, and ice fragments sparkled under the sunlight.

Through that, my big sister was lunging at Rebecca.

Since the only thing I could do was run and hide, I ran down the corridor crying.

* * *

Francois, who had briefly stopped by the Imperial Palace, flinched at the faint energy of Razas he could sense.

‘The energy must be leaking because we have the Dark Mages confined.’

The underground prison was damp and dark.

It was also the place where Rebecca had been imprisoned in his past life.

As soon as Marius drank the love potion antidote, he had thrown Rebecca into prison.

Perhaps because of her satisfaction at having achieved revenge, she had managed fairly well even in this terrible underground prison.

‘Seeing that she chose death after regression, it seems she traveled back in time together with me, but I don’t know how that was possible.’

I decided to stop Rebecca’s scheme of choosing revenge after regression and ruining many people’s lives.

The reason I entered Trowance earlier than planned was because of that.

I searched for the house where Rebecca supposedly lived, but the house had been empty for a long time and the person in question had already chosen death.

Andrea drew a line saying he didn’t know much about Rebecca’s affairs either.

“Since there are no traces, there’s no way to search further.”

It was something that bothered me in many ways.

“Ah. Lord Marquis. Please have some tea while you wait.”

Deputy Knight Captain Derek brought out a dainty teacup that didn’t match his large frame.

Because of the incident where someone broke into Lilliana’s room and tried to harm the child, I was worried about Francois too, so I abandoned my work and stopped by the Imperial Palace.

“Didn’t you find anything strange from the suspects?”

“Ah, yes. Not yet. Really, it’s a strange matter. The Holy Maiden just checked thoroughly earlier, but nothing particularly stood out.”

“Is Emilia still here?”

“She just left. Well… a minor issue came up so she stepped away briefly.”

“A minor issue?”

“It’s nothing serious. More importantly, the interrogation just ended, so let’s have you take a look at the black mages inside.”

In the underground prison I entered following Derek’s guidance, black mages were sprawled about.

Francois confirmed the fragments of Razas contained in their bodies.

“Those bastards. Where on earth were they planning to use the black holy water that they sacrificed their own bodies to make?”

“Black holy water? I’d like to see it myself.”

“Here it is.”

Derek took out a jar from his chest and showed the black holy water.

After checking the powder, Francois unconsciously covered his mouth.

A very threatening aura was condensed inside the jar.

Due to instinctive rejection, he stepped back. That’s when it happened.

“Urgh!”

Razas, who had been hiding deep in a hole for the past few years, expanded as it grew in size.

Razas caused all the erosion it had postponed at once. Even if Francois resisted, there were limits.

If originally it was like poking the back of his hand with a pencil, today it was like wielding a blade to stab his stomach with three years’ worth of accumulated power.

“Kugh. Argh!”

“Wh-why are you suddenly like this!”

“Ughhhh.”

Bugs gnawed away at the inside of his head.

Razas devoured his mind more viciously than before regression, as if it had been waiting only for today.

At the unpleasant sensation he felt after a very long time, Francois cried out for Emilia.

“E-Emilia. Emilia…”

Bang! Crash!

Sounds of something exploding could be heard from the interrogation room deep inside the underground prison.

Derek left Francois crouched on the floor in agony and checked the interrogation room.

“What on earth is this…”

“…Thus we offer our remaining lives as sacrifice to Lord Razas.”

As the summoning spell ended, the black mages who offered themselves as sacrifice shed black tears and died.

As the black magic activated, Derek’s vision became blurred.

Razas, who momentarily seized Derek’s body using the sacrifice, approached Francois.

“No matter how familiar the pain may be, once you experience oblivion, it becomes new. The sight of you struggling is quite entertaining.”

Razas took out the black holy water.

Since he was dealing with Edith and Marius with Rebecca’s body, he intended to kill Francois with this body.
