Chapter 91.2 - Be Yourself
91.2 Be Yourself
It felt like I was back to those days when we did everything together
And felt at ease Even if I didn't want to.
Even if the said thing was learning heretic art and experimenting with soul instead of preparing for some sort of prank
I kept delving into taboo subjects. Processing souls that were dragged out of the spirit realm, a shadow of their former selves. Manipulating the soul of a forest elf who died in the prison and made them to possess human bone.
Absorbing the true essence of necromancy without a shred of hesitation.
Wonderful talent. You even exceeded my estimation!
You're so awesome, Your Highness! As expected of the Demon Race, they're on a whole nother level after all!
I'm so absorbed with the lesson to the point that I'm already numb to it.
I felt powerless and indecisive.
And that might be the reason why I got punished.
It's about time to start interfering with high-rank souls.
Just when I thought of the reason why Enma placed her hands on my shoulders was to fix the wrinkle of my clothes.
Which reminds me that you slayed the patriarch of a dragon clan. If I'm not wrong, his name is Faravugi, the patriarch of the white dragons.
Ah.
That moment, color drained from my face.
You kept his remains right? Then your next lesson is
Enma whispered into my ears.
You will summon Faravugi's soul And do various experiment with him.
I was so shocked that my eyes dilated so much.
Fu*ck.
And just when I was about to reject the plan, Enma.
Knew about Faravugi.
I rolled in the bed, talking with Ante.
I want to make Lyla my ally.
I had no intention to use her as my pet.
For that, I had to tell her about Faravugi.
That's only natural.
Even Ante was troubled by this matter.
Not satisfied with killing her father, now you even toyed with his soul Relationship based on mutual trust is just a pipe dream I guess.
Yeah.
But, I wanted Lyla to become my ally no matter what.
Confessing the truth to Lyla would at least ease her feelings, my guilt toward her, and allow me to gain a tremendous amount of mobility in the air.
I mean, she might be the most important element that I needed when I had to release Liliana or information about the Demon Kingdom to the alliance.
It was impossible to entrust such a thing to another dragon. It had to be someone I could really trust.
And Lyla Was the only one capable of that!!
But There's a fundamental problem between you and her.
Ante muttered quietly.
Are you sure about this?
What do you mean?
What will happen after you release the saint or information about the Demon Kingdom to the alliance? It's not what you really need to defeat the Demon Kingdom.
Your recent growth Is something to behold.
Ante snickered.
To the point that I want to show you just how much power that you entrusted to me.
Compensation for taboo.
With this kind of pace, in a few dozen of years You'll become strong enough to defeat the Demon King by yourself Now let me to ask you, do you really have to take such a risk?
Said Ante who suddenly appeared as a phantom while looking into my eyes.
Do you really need that girl, Lyla's power?
She asked me if I hadn't thought about it enough Until now?
I couldn't say anything.
Why I wonder?
Yes. You already understand the reason on your own.
I was in a hurry.
It's still not too late to reconsider your decision.
Stop looking at me with eyes full of pity!!
Because you are It's painful, right? At this point, you still have the chance to let that poor girl meet her father before he disappears Unlike with your childhood friend, it's still not too late for her. Think carefully about it.
I know your pain. I'm residing in your body after all. Your pain is my pain.
Ante's phantom hand then caressed my cheek.
What is your true goal?
Defeat the Demon King and save humankind.
Don't lose sight of your true goal. My Dear Hero.
Yes.
I What in the hell am I saying
I, am a hero
Contrary to such thoughts, it became harder and harder for me to focus on my studies.
Thus I devoted myself to combat training.
I did so to distract myself.
I fought Platy like a madman as if to vent my rage.
Screw with pain.
Physical pain was nothing more than a danger signal.
It was a far cry from the pain that I felt in my heart.
It was something that transcends flesh. Ignore the pain. Rather, scrap anything physical inhibition that prevented me from completing my magic.
Going beyond that even if it caused blood to spurt from my finger
This pain was just trivial pain.
As long as I felt that way, the rest was easy.
I had to become stronger.
Stronger than ever!
Before I noticed, I was laughing.
Though Platy faltered for a moment, she regained her composure immediately.
Those days of self-abandonment felt empty and bloody,
Even the warm sunlight that I like so much felt scorching to me,
In the first place, I was the prince of the Demon Race, yeah, this was no big deal. At this rate Someday I will
Hahahahaha.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Enough already.
And then, as the day for the next necromancy lesson was fast approaching, Ante spoke to me.
You've become too emotional. Your soul has already tattered, full of patching to begin with, it might break and crumble for real if you keep doing this
Better broken than overdoing it.
Do as you like.
The Demon God had finally backed down.
After regaining my sanity, I spoke about this matter again with Ante and found a compromise.
We would turn Lyla into our ally by using her father.
But until then, I shouldn't reveal my identity to her. That was our compromise.
To be honest, I'm not sure whether I could suppress Faravugi's enraged soul or not if I hide my true identity from him.
Summoning his soul in my room was obviously an extremely dangerous gamble.
If Lyla was present in the same place.
If she was with me.
Maybe Faravugi could regain his ego too.
In that case, I might be able to Protect his soul by sealing it within his remnant
In that way, I could say something along the lines of That pathetic weakling's soul might have vanished! when I failed to summon his soul during Enma's lecture.
Alas There was a possibility that Enma might have found out about my lies if she knew a method to track the location of the soul in the material realm. Alas, I would resist until the bitter end. Even if it got exposed, I would claim "His soul is mine!" in the most unreasonable way
Well, it was a risky attempt.
But that would lower the risk at a minimum.
The current me can summon him Your father's, Faravugi's soul.
Well, that is that this is this.
If you wish for it.
It was a matter of whether Lyla would comply or not.
Why.
She spoke after a long silence.
Lyla hung her head down as she sat in front of me.
She raised her face as her fists clenched on top of her lap.
Why Now
Asked her with an upturned gaze, without any kind of restraint.
Ah.
I suddenly felt a strong sense of sympathy.
The look in her, Lyla's eyes were
Contained fear, and resignation, and yet
Why You say that now Of all time!
The eyes that glared at me were filled with rage, and hatred.
