********************
Why are everything around you so dark...
There is no touch, no sound... I have no idea why I came to this place.
Strange...what was I doing before...I always felt that I was still experiencing something particularly important at the last moment...
Wait...important things...?
Why do you remember... this is a particularly important thing?
Looking back...
Recalling Ah...
What is particularly important?...
…………
No, I can't remember anything...
My vision was pitch black, and I could only hear my own voice in my ears. I couldn't even feel the weight I should have, as if I didn't exist in this world...
This place... is completely beyond my understanding...
But if you can't think of a way to go back...
I can't continue to help my master...
……
...Eh?
Owner……?
For no reason, my lips unknowingly pronounced this title.
A corner of the memory drawing seems to have been lifted up.
Yes... This is an important thing related to the master...
Then... what happened between me and my master...
But thinking about it, it is probably difficult to recall it.
I must need some tips...
My hands began to unconsciously grop around, but what was fed back to my senses was still nothingness...
Even the resistance of the air cannot be felt...
I felt a little depressed.
Because if there was nothing...it probably wouldn't help finding clues at all...
Nothing...
Um……
Huh...?
Is there nothing in my hands?
No...no...I was holding something, right?
Like this, wave it in the direction in your hand...
Ultimately, see it as an extension in your hand...
That's...a weapon...
What kind of weapon?
Wow!
A cutting sound suddenly rose in my ears.
Remember to make it flexible like your arm, where you imagine the landing point, your hands can always easily land where you want.
A word that made me extremely familiar with unconsciously came to my mind.
Although I can't remember who the character said this, I generally understand the characteristics of that weapon.
So light and sharp, although it is a murderous instrument, it has a grace that matches the maid.
Maid...?Yes, maid.
I am a maid…a combat maid using a sword…I will use my sword to protect my master…
But...where has my sword gone?
How could I forget...where my sword was placed...
Memory is getting clearer and clearer.
I am also becoming more and more anxious.
No...Calm down and think about it...
I was probably protecting my master in the battle with the enemy using a weapon called a sword...
The enemy is very strong, and even if the master uses various methods to counter him, he will eventually fall into a passive position...
It was like a joke, and the time it took to go from optimism to despair seemed to be in just a moment.
The master failed...
I don't know why I came to this inexplicable dark space...
How did it become the current situation?
The problem seems to have returned to its original starting point.
hiss!
But when I was about to continue digging the veins of the matter so far, a stinging pain suddenly surged behind me and swept across my body like a storm.
Cough uh!
I fell to the ground immediately.
…It hurts…and…it’s getting worse…
Burned by the high temperature... embedded in the iron... The violent pain has become increasingly unbearable... But in this world where vibrations cannot be conveyed, no matter how I open my mouth and scream, I cannot reap a trace of sound that can distract myself.
I...is almost unable to hold on...
Thoughts are gradually losing, consciousness is stripped off layer by layer, and the body can only be wrapped in endless pain, as if it is about to be peeled off so that there is no residue left...
Until... I only had less than a piece of feathers left...
The only pain was lost, leaving only the strange feeling of floating, which filled the whole body...
strangeness……
Am I... floating towards the sky...
Does this scene mean that I am about to disappear?
A little...scared...
I am afraid that I will never see my master again... I can't even miss my master...
No...I don't want to...
He tried desperately to shake his disappeared arm, trying to find the anchor point that did not exist at all.
etc……
What is that red light...
Suddenly... it appeared before my eyes...
My intuition tells me...it's coming to pick me up...
AhAh, no more... so sleepy...
Although... I am about to fall into a coma again... but... it makes people feel very safe...
Heart……………………
********************
……
The moment when my eyes opened, what caught my eye was a familiar and reassuring dimness.
(……)
It seems that the demon did not lie to me. The power of the magic stone can indeed produce unexpected effects based on different ways of using it.
Before my eyes could adapt to the tiredness of awakening from the sleep, a hand suddenly reached out from the field of vision to his chest. However, completely different from what I expected, the touch between the skin and the skin did not come. Instead, it was a strange feeling of a hard object embedded there.
The master smiled, and his pale face was filled with more gratitude because of his exhausted magic.
However, although it is the use of the Overlord's Magic Stone to forcibly maintain your life, this method is still incomparable to the miracle of resurrection.In fact, if you have to describe your current state, it may be more realistic to call you a magic-driven humanoid.
(……)
……
……
After looking at the expression that had not changed at all on this side for a long time, the owner who was waiting for some reason finally showed a hint of disappointment on his face.
Although I know that you will sacrifice your life for me without hesitation in the crisis, when I really encounter this situation, I can't help but be surprised by your actions... I will always owe you a life, Lufina, I know that this sentence is a bit funny by someone who is messing with your soul, but I have said a long time ago... I have no way to go... I only have to stick to this path to choose, otherwise all the efforts I have made before will fail...
Speaking of this, the master pursed his lips and looked elsewhere as if he was avoiding something.
I will do whatever it takes to complete my final pursuit.
********************
Ha...what am I thinking? Of course, things like humanoids do not have their own will or even speak.
I don’t know what I am still looking forward to when I am lucky enough to see what I am looking forward to. Perhaps I finally realized the current reality. The sighing master laughed at himself, and then began to turn his magic power seriously and slowly spit out two words.
stand up.
yes.
(stand up……)
When specific magic powers are transmitted into the mind, those words will turn into unshakable commands in the mind, controlling yourself to complete them.
Straighten your upper body... and then support your hands on both sides to help your feet stand completely...
It shouldn't take much time. The knights who wished to turn my mansion upside down would definitely find this place... Fortunately, I still have the last hidden stronghold, which they absolutely cannot know.
The master continued to mutter to himself.
Follow me.
yes.
(Follow...behind the master...)
His eyes were staring straight ahead, and his feet were moving mechanically alternately, but at the same time, his arms did not swing with the pace of progress at all, making his movements a little stiff.
Step...step...step...step...
One step...two steps...
The master was walking forward and kept a distance behind him.At this moment, the dark corridor in the basement was echoing two footsteps with different weights.
(Follow...behind the master...)
The only voice in my mind is the master's order...
Step...step...step...step...step.
Until the sound of the steps came to an abrupt end.
Lufina... Although it was too late to tell you at this time, I have been wanting to share with you a story that has been buried in my heart for a long time...
I don’t know how many journeys I have passed, but the owner suddenly opened his mouth to break the long-standing silence here.When he observed that the master stopped himself, he immediately switched from walking to standing.
Staring at the face that was still expressionless, the owner's already lonely expression suddenly became much more depressed.
Unfortunately... now you should have lost the ability to think in a complicated way and cannot understand the feelings I want to convey...
The master smiled helplessly, and could only put on the shadow under the dim light source again, turned his back and continued to move forward.
(Follow...behind the master...)
He lifted his pace again and followed his master.
Sorry, Lufina... If I had followed your advice to retreat, things might not have to fall to this point at all, and you would not have to become what you are now... All this is blamed on me!I'm really a hopeless fool!I'm really... sorry...
I know my apology is ridiculous. After all, even when you die, I still transform you into such a human form without autonomy for my ideals... Needless to say, even if I use my life to atone for you from now on, it is far from enough to make up for the sins I have committed against you... But, Lufina, I still want to tell you this story in person, although I know how stupid and ridiculous this action is, including delusion to relieve my inner guilt in this way... Just treat these as my own entertainment...
The master smiled bitterly, perhaps understanding that it would be meaningless to continue like this, but he decided to continue talking.
Lufina, in fact, from the first sight of you, I vaguely felt that you must be the one who brought the change to my destiny...
(……)
A long time ago, when I was the eldest son of the Robert family and had almost been appointed as the next heir to the family, I had justice and far-reaching ambitions.At that time, I always tried my best to respond to my parents' expectations with unremitting efforts, and I was lucky to never let them down.In the eyes of anyone, I am always the most outstanding existence among my peers. I was personally awarded the baron by the emperor at a young age, which has attracted unprecedented attention from my family.Countless families once came to me to propose marriage, and countless show-offs were sent to me in various forms.I said self-deprecatingly that if things went on like this, I might even become a member of the Braves Squad now... Haha...
However, at that time, how could I not understand what the price would be after accepting those kindnesses.The underground industries they operated, the huge chain of interests that had long been deeply bound in the dark, may be because my father has always turned a blind eye to these things, so that he can safely maintain his current status and fame. But I am too conceited, and those too dazzling honors make my eyes unable to accommodate the seemingly hypocritical closeness of the nobles, but in fact, they also want to drag us into the quagmire.As young, I was completely unable to accept my father's way of compromise, which was simply weak, and therefore inevitably had conflicts with him, and eventually, I fell into the ending of being hidden by my family.
But although it was hidden... Later, I gradually understood my father's good intentions to protect me, and since then I have never directly opposed my father's authority on the surface... But what I never thought was that the disaster was far from over, because as long as I was the next heir to the Robert family, those nobles would always be in a state of ease.So from a certain time, they could not tolerate it and began measures that they thought they could protect their official hats.No need to guess, as long as it prevents me from becoming the next heir of the Robert family, even silence is definitely a means worth a try for them.
Speaking of this, the master accidentally clenched his fist.
The nobles who had malicious intentions towards me were not stupid. They could not directly interfere with my family on the surface. Therefore, they urgently needed an agent who would carry out their plans on their behalf to influence my family from the inside.
But I never expected that the vicious plan that forced me to the present situation could be planned by one of my closest family members... I will never forgive him for the rest of my life... Before I can't hear his apology and then kill him, I will do anything to complete my revenge!Never!
Every word that was spit out of his mouth seemed as heavy as lead. The owner, who looked painful, took a deep breath and finally adjusted his mindset and continued to say it.
That day, they sent a slave named Leah to me in the name of giving birthday gifts.I, who was forced to accept this "gift" due to my father's request, will be responsible for this girl to the end in the future... I understand my father's original intention. He wants me to face what a noble will sooner or later, and hope that I can gradually understand the correctness of his approach, but I can never treat Riya as a slave, because I hate this dark system of treating people as commodities from beginning to end.I sympathized with Liya's experience and secretly vowed in my heart to try my best to soothe the girl's heart that had been hurt countless times in my heart.However, in my contact with Liya day after day, I was surprised to find that the strength and kindness shown by this girl far exceeded the level I imagined. Even in daily life, my heart began to gradually rely on Liya...
Fortunately, at least, I can still have a very beautiful memory...Liya is a very smart girl. She just became a servant and got the affirmation of the maid's maid in just a few weeks. She passed the basic maid's assessment and began to take over the care of my daily life.But before this, I could not imagine what could give a slave-born girl the motivation to work so hard.Her strength moved me very much. It can be said that under the pressure of the major nobles at that time, it was her encouragement that gave me the courage to continue to fight.All of this is completely inseparable from Liya's silent support for me.
What’s hateful and ridiculous is that I never noticed that the kind Liya had been secretly imposed by my brother behind the scenes of the forbidden technique.Think about it now... Maybe no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to avoid the tragic ending that she was destined to sacrifice as a tool to frame me...
Master, he cried...
I learned the forbidden technique that can control the spirit from the devil's classics. It is because my youngest brother has this vicious bargaining chip that he can win the deep trust of the nobles who are hostile to me.Before the incident, I never thought that he was such a cruel and insidious person behind his back. He manipulated the innocent Riya into my room during a time period that I didn't know, and secretly hid the real forbidden code in my bedroom, becoming the key physical evidence for the false crimes given to me later.
In this way, after spending the last happy time with Leah, that day finally came...
When Liya entered my room with an abnormal look on her face, she didn't notice the conspiracy and thought that Liya was frustrated because she encountered other people's difficulties.After all, the class superiority of most people in the family to their subordinates is deeply rooted, and I can't eradicate this phenomenon by myself.However, when I helped Lia to my seat, I didn't expect that the first sentence I received from Lia was actually 'Escape'.
Looking back now, Liya must be trying to use her own will to resist the orders received from my brother...but for me, who knew nothing about spiritual domination at that time, how could I truly understand the meaning of Liya's words?At that time, I could only constantly comfort Lia, but I didn't expect that what was about to happen would leave me with eternal pain.Yes... Just when I decided to thoroughly investigate the perpetrator to help Liya vent my anger, I always ignored the most critical point now, that is... the person Liya needs most at this moment is actually me...
My inadvertent release of my arms became the last straw that overwhelmed Lea. Just before I noticed something was wrong to stop her, Lea, who was trapped in control, took out a pair of scissors from somewhere. While she was crying, she trembled and cut her artery with a sharp weapon...
Who would have thought that in order to make Lea die in my room, the murderer even attached a deadly poison to the scissors.Even though I had used healing magic to heal Leya's wounds at the first time, I could only watch Leya in her arms become weaker and paler.I wanted to cry loudly, but Riya gently pressed her lips with one finger, reminding her not to speak.Finally... she used all her last bit of strength in her life and pointed it at the forbidden book that she had previously hidden in my room with that finger, and then passed away quietly with a smile.
Even at the last moment when her life was about to end, Riya was still so strong... In order not to let others hear the movements coming here, she never made any unnecessary sounds in such pain... Although this did not change the ending of a team of so-called witnesses who would pass by my room sooner or later... But it was precisely because of this that I understood how priceless everything she had given for me...
Whether it was the forbidden book that I had just obtained, or the hushed-out Liya who died quietly in my room, I knew that no matter how I defended it, I would never escape the death accused by those witnesses.However, maybe this is the path I am destined to take. As one of the culprits who ruined me here, the forbidden book I hold in my hand... at that moment I will give me the power to escape from this desperate situation.
The forbidden book hosts a demon who calls himself Solsif, who promises that he can help me escape from this place and ultimately assist me in completing my revenge against the initiator.The devil's transactions are never trustworthy. I have always understood this clearly, but I still agreed to His invitation without thinking, because no cost can compare to the tragedy of Leah's death because of me at this moment!So after that, I successfully escaped from the royal city and successfully carried the name of slander for life. Finally, under the guidance of the demon, I came to this mysterious manor.
Under the guidance of the demon, I spent several years gradually mastering the forbidden technique that dominated the spirit, and then, like my younger brother did... I began to constantly brainwash the women who could use it to accumulate my strength.Of course, my younger brother never stopped his movements. Just a few years later, I learned that he continued to use the power of the nobles behind him to overwhelm the Vitra family, who was dedicated to the ban technique in the Kingdom.I, lacking allies, realized that this was a rare opportunity, so I fought back on my brother for the first time that day.I secretly helped the Vitra family who was expelled from the capital of Paromia and promised to take action to remove the brainwashing magic set by their tribesmen. Of course, in exchange, I need them to appear at critical moments to serve as witnesses for my brother to secretly use the forbidden technique, and to provide me with the greatest strength before I complete my revenge.
However, my first counterattack quickly attracted the attention of my brother, and since that day, my actions in the capital have become difficult.My plan progress slowed down and eventually exceeded my patience, but at the same time, I gradually realized the other meanings of brainwashing magic to me.I was willing to fall into extremely convenient pleasure, and even let go of my obsession with revenge, and constantly deceived myself in my heart. This was the treatment I deserved to work hard to this extent.
Until…I met you.
Lufina, maybe it was only at this moment that I realized why I had a special feeling when I first saw you. The handsome and pity posture I saw when I first met, made me unknowingly coincide with the appearance of this scene when I first met Lea.No...not just that... Although I can't understand what it is, a certain trait that exists between you has always attracted me.Although I gradually lost my original bottom line because of my eagerness to revenge, and you gradually lost my original kindness because of the deepening of brainwashing, when the scene of you sacrificing yourself to save me finally happened, I realized that I am still the fragile guy who cannot accept others' sacrifices because of myself, and you will still fall into the tragic ending of becoming a pity piece sacrificed by me...
Can I still look back?If I could... I really think it would be great that nothing had happened, but it's been ten years since Riya's death, and your sacrifice has just happened, not to mention how numbing the number of lives that I have killed directly and indirectly now... I am an unforgivable guy, Lufina... But I have already reached this point and have no choice...
The master stood at the end of the corridor, stretched out his hand to stroke the magic circle hidden on the wall, injecting his own magic power into it. The next moment, the wall was like a liquid dripping with water droplets, with magical ripples.
Okay, we're here, that last hidden stronghold.
The master stepped directly into the portal.
And the next moment, I and my master were already stepping on a strange lawn.
This is where Leah is buried, Lufina.
With complex eyes, the master slowly squatted down and wiped away the dust and leaves on the tombstone in front of him with his right hand. Several soft moonlight interspersed under this night seemed to be silently describing a communication that crossed the boundary between the living and the dead.
...Liya, I will definitely avenge you.
After a long time, the master let go of the hand attached to the tombstone.
Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
But suddenly, an inappropriate applause sounded like a deliberately breaking into this place to annoy the owner.
Who is it!?
Brother Gilles, I didn’t expect that after so many years, you are still so obsessed with your slave. It really makes me, my younger brother, admire you very much.But what is the girl's name?I'm sorry because the time is too long, I can't remember it clearly. Can you please remind me?
Her short golden hair and delicate facial features that are somewhat similar to her master, her face is generally a little younger, but it has a bit of sinister curve at the corners of her eyes.
At some point, a figure had already stood behind the master. Perhaps he had been there watching the master for a long time, but he chose to show up at this time to insert the conversation.
Her name is Liya, you bastard!Ahem!The master cursed with his pale lips.
What a sad answer Ah, my brother.Compared to the identity of a mere slave, is my name even less worthy of your own words, brother?
Although the smile still remained on his face, the words were full of sarcasm and ridicule for his brother. The blonde boy spread his hands, as if he felt a little regret for the response he had just received.
Forget it.Brother Gilles, seeing that your condition is not very good, I won’t do anything to take advantage of others’ danger.Let’s just talk about my purpose here. I hand over the three magic stones in your hand. I can guarantee that I will not torture you to death with cruel means.
Needless to say, such useless words, I don’t plan to admit defeat.
Without saying a word, the master threw a high-level magic on the other party's face.
Go... It's really a brother Ah who wants to save face... Then the next thing depends on you, Mora.
What?
He never expected to hear this name from his brother. The next moment when the master was stunned, a dark figure suddenly rushed out from behind the other party and skillfully swung his sword before the magic arrow hit it.
The solid and heavy armor, the giant sword that is comparable to the human body, is completely different from the past, whether it is position or clothing, but... if you have to say that there is something that has not changed, it is the pair of eyes on her face that still carries a hole that has been fully brainwashed.
The owner's face was filled with relief after learning the truth.
My guess is indeed correct... Freeman should have established a very difficult cooperative relationship with you, Lete, a long time ago, right?
There is nothing so complicated, Brother Gilles, the interest relationship between us is very simple, Mr. Freeman wants to get more alchemy knowledge from me, I want to get information about your hiding place from him, the deal almost hit it off, that's all.
The boy named Lete explained to his master patiently, as if he was not afraid that his master would escape from this place, and he did not mind revealing the information.
So… Did Freeman tell you about this place?
Of course yes...huh?Haven't you met him?Logically speaking, he should have been with the brave and their siege team. It would be a pity that you didn't meet...
With a little surprised expression, Lete stroked his chin and pondered for a while, probably figured out the reason.
But to be honest, you are really miserable Brother Ah~ Not only have I deceived my status and reputation, I have done the dirty things you once hated the most, but in the end I will be betrayed by my friends, and I have given all my efforts to the object I should have revenge~ Brother Jills, what should I say?Now you have really lost everything hahahahahaha!
Just as Lete covered his face and laughed wildly, his right hand secretly snapped his fingers sideways, allowing Mora, who received the order, to launch a surprise attack.
clatter!
(There is hostility towards the master...)
The senses quickly noticed the other party's movements and stepped forward to block the master's body in two steps.
clang!
Then he accurately intercepted the direction of the opponent's attack and defeated the enemy with one blow in his sword.
Well!Mora took a few steps back with difficulty.
Roar ~?This girl seems to be quite outstanding. It seems that brother, you are not considered to have nothing.So just right, let me take your last thing over.
Above the fingertips that Lete stretched out slowly, a charming and familiar purple light burst out there, as if just a glance had a strange gravity that could make anyone's spirit deeply trapped in it.
Just a glance at his inadvertently when he repelled Mora, his consciousness instantly fell into a stagnation.
********************
(Add to... dominate...)
At this moment, my two feet seemed to be given the instinct to automatically move towards that ray of light...
(It must...go...go...)
Can't look there!Lufina!
Ah……!
If my shoulders were not held down by the owner in time, my consciousness would probably sink into it.
Haha, I'm quite alert, but this won't change anything~ Brother Gilles, I'll ask again at the end, are you planning to hand over the three magic stones in your hand voluntarily, or are you waiting for me to come and get it?
I said, I will not admit defeat!
Before Lethe could make a threatening attack, the unwilling master ran straight to the west of the forest.
Keep up with me!Lufina!
Only this time is the hoarse voice that can be pulled out when you are really anxious.
yes.
Or the instinct of physical movement or the experience accumulated over a long time, the moment the toes were pointed at the ground, his body jumped to a height of several meters, maintaining his body balance instinctively, and following closely behind his master.
Stop them.
Immediately afterwards, Lete's indifferent command came from behind his mind.
Crack!
In just a few seconds, the quiet and silent forest around him suddenly became restless and restless. The figures that could not tell the difference were straight out of the shadows and chased them closely behind the master at the same extraordinary speed.
Lufina, pay attention to the opponent's ranged weapons.
yes.
Throw!
As soon as the master issued a reminder, a dangerous sound of Zhang Xian resounded instinctively turned around in his ears, summoned a weapon, and with the precise capture of the breath, he swung his sword to block the predetermined trajectory of the flying arrows.
when!
But even if the interception is successfully intercepted, the appearance of this arrow is only the beginning of the opponent's real killing.
XiūXiūXiūXiū!
The cold weapons did not have any pity to the enemy. The more frequent attacks even woven into dense winds. They were like the sound of hell near the abyss of death, indicating the next unavoidable ending.
(You can't let the owner be injured...)
However, I just need to stand behind my master without hesitation...
…Wireless attacks are directly used to force the shock to open with the Douqi shield. Those threatening attacks will wield their swords to block their trajectory.
The sound of shuttle sounds in my ears was sorted out in my mind, and in an instant, organized the next defensive actions that should be taken.
Hit the sword body out, then quickly turn back, and at the same time, twisting and moving, avoiding secondary attacks with minimal movement.
(You can't let the owner be injured...)
This is the only idea that supports a humanoid action at this moment...
But no matter how hard the defense is, if you can't fight back, there will never be a chance to win, let alone the opponent's position is getting closer by taking advantage of the opportunity to be tired of defense, which makes the defense's fault tolerance gradually reach its own limit...
Lufina, are we still going to fall here...
He noticed the sign that the situation was getting worse, and tried his best to speak with a bitter smile on the assisting master.
(You can't let the owner be injured...)
He could not answer his master's question, but just did his best to resist all the attacks flying towards him for his master.
Until... a speeding sound suddenly approached behind him.
laugh!
As a strong sense of impact suddenly surged into his waist, his body lost coordination due to this injury and fell to the ground in front of the next additional arrow.
(You can't let the owner be injured...)
I can't understand the reason why my body cannot move without feeling pain, and I can only repeat the commands given by my master in my mind...
Lufina!!
The master's sad voice broke into his ears.
Sorry, I shouldn't have let you suffer like this in this way!All of this is my fault!
While speaking, the master picked up the unmovable body with tears on his face and continued running forward frantically.
Arrows and magic. Even though the master master mastered extraordinary defensive magic through the Sage Magic Stone, the attacks eventually broke through the master's magic barrier and continued to create serious scars on the master's body.
A cold arrow hit the master's back.
Puff Ah!Soon...we will arrive soon!Lufina!
I don't know why I insisted.
Even if you leave the forest, it will not change the ending of being chased to death. The owner who glimpsed the exit of the forest was still a little bit of gratitude for some reason, and couldn't help but speed up the running speed under his feet.
Double chant • Mist of Light • Mist of Dark.
It includes using the last magic to temporarily resist the enemy's footsteps, perhaps in order to see the scenery hidden behind the exit that is called the Hope.
The last chance...
But at this moment, God will not even give this little expectation to himself...No... it is my master...
Behind the Yezha is an endless orange sky, and on the horizon that is level with the cliff, is a piece of white light that has just revealed.
This way Ah...it's over...
The master, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, knelt down, then took out a knife from his cloak and handed it to my hand lying in his arms.
Although I was very unwilling to give up, this is probably the punishment I will suffer sooner or later... Lufina, I am very happy to meet you who made me rekindle my fighting spirit. But it is time to let me welcome the ending I deserve.
The master's eyes stared at my face tightly, but he couldn't help but blink because of the foreign object that was born there. Although he wanted to sideways the more wet eyes to hide himself, he didn't expect that this could only leave out even more difficult tears in my vision.
After I die, your brainwashing will be automatically untied. If you can have this memory that kills me with your own hands, maybe you will not hate me so much.
Kill me, Lufina, and kick me off the cliff.
At least, I don't want my body to be seen by Lethe... The master smiled.
yes.
(Kill...master...)
I grabbed the knife given to me by my master in my hand, and then cut it hard towards the neck that my master had exposed at me.
Puff!
The surging blood poured out, spreading the hot temperature along the blade... to my hands...
……
My face, which had been stiff for a long time, finally loosened a little.
Ah……
Just like the moment when a simple instrument played a bright sound, my voice suddenly floated from the depths of my heart that had been silent for a long time.
……
The master died, and he died at his own hands.
This blood is also the last warmth that the master can give him...
The brainwashing disappeared, the shackles of thinking were gradually untied, and all the information jumped out of the closed plane, reminding oneself of oneself.
But……
Even so...
I still...I don't want this to happen...
Even though I knew that this was all false intentions created in the skull, I still couldn't go against the feeling that couldn't help but surge in my heart.
...Is it true?...Is it fake?
No matter what... those things experienced are indeed engraved in the body and mind.
This guy has done something quite a bit of a mess to himself...
Dress me up like this... a handsome man with strange persistence towards the maid...
Bastard... just ran away with a cool and thought, I haven't slapped you hard in the face yet to vent my deep hatred for being a maid for several months without any reward...
Yes...haha...
Why is I still crying for this man when I was treated like this...
I couldn't help but close my eyes, unwilling to face my distorted thoughts.
But after a long time, I opened my eyes and found that the colors in front of me were no longer the familiar ones.
Ah…Ah…
What...what's going on...
It was like a pot of water that had not yet been dried, making the boundaries of colors in the picture blur uncontrollably.
The world is no longer real, everything turns into a phantom behind the rain.
Ah, is this a dream?
It is clearly such a clear and real memory, but now you tell me that these are all dreams!?
Talent... Talent...
Don't want AhAhAhAhAhAhAh
…………
…………
……………
Ahahahahahahahahah!
Accompanied by the screams, he jumped up from the bed.
Oh...what is this...
I turned my head and looked around the luxurious interior of this bedroom with a confused look on my face.
Miss Lufina, did you have a nightmare just now?But don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you.
How could I be in this place?
Weirdly, when did I lie on the bed...and then this man sitting on the side of my bed...?
When we first met, Miss Lufina, please let me introduce myself. My name is Lethe Robert, the next heir to the Marquis of Robert. For a long time before, you have been mentally controlled by an evil criminal, so you are likely to be very unfamiliar with the current situation.But don't worry, everything is over, the criminal has received the punishment he deserves, and you can live a free life again.
The man with short blonde hair was politely leaning on his chest and introducing himself. Judging from his extremely luxurious clothes and the Marquis who introduced himself, he should be a very rich... No, it is probably not appropriate to describe this... In short, it is just a very powerful person.
……
……Um?
strangeness?Didn't I go back to reality?
Doesn’t this mean... the previous super long dream was not a false memory...
What happened before?
Uh...what's going on? I always feel that my memory is a bit blurry and I can't even remember it...
Tickling his head and worried about the inexplicable development of things, he caught a glimpse of a palm trying to withdraw from the pillow without a trace.
Could it be that this man wanted to do something rude?
But thinking about it, with the other party's identity, this man should not do such a thing...
Well... don't care.
Although it feels like a lot of things are missing.
But my life in another world that belongs to me has just begun.

Why are everything around you so dark...
There is no touch, no sound... I have no idea why I came to this place.
Strange...what was I doing before...I always felt that I was still experiencing something particularly important at the last moment...
Wait...important things...?
Why do you remember... this is a particularly important thing?
Looking back...
Recalling Ah...
What is particularly important?...
…………
No, I can't remember anything...
My vision was pitch black, and I could only hear my own voice in my ears. I couldn't even feel the weight I should have, as if I didn't exist in this world...
This place... is completely beyond my understanding...
But if you can't think of a way to go back...
I can't continue to help my master...
……
...Eh?
Owner……?
For no reason, my lips unknowingly pronounced this title.
A corner of the memory drawing seems to have been lifted up.
Yes... This is an important thing related to the master...
Then... what happened between me and my master...
But thinking about it, it is probably difficult to recall it.
I must need some tips...
My hands began to unconsciously grop around, but what was fed back to my senses was still nothingness...
Even the resistance of the air cannot be felt...
I felt a little depressed.
Because if there was nothing...it probably wouldn't help finding clues at all...
Nothing...
Um……
Huh...?
Is there nothing in my hands?
No...no...I was holding something, right?
Like this, wave it in the direction in your hand...
Ultimately, see it as an extension in your hand...
That's...a weapon...
What kind of weapon?
Wow!
A cutting sound suddenly rose in my ears.
Remember to make it flexible like your arm, where you imagine the landing point, your hands can always easily land where you want.
A word that made me extremely familiar with unconsciously came to my mind.
Although I can't remember who the character said this, I generally understand the characteristics of that weapon.
So light and sharp, although it is a murderous instrument, it has a grace that matches the maid.
Maid...?Yes, maid.
I am a maid…a combat maid using a sword…I will use my sword to protect my master…
But...where has my sword gone?
How could I forget...where my sword was placed...
Memory is getting clearer and clearer.
I am also becoming more and more anxious.
No...Calm down and think about it...
I was probably protecting my master in the battle with the enemy using a weapon called a sword...
The enemy is very strong, and even if the master uses various methods to counter him, he will eventually fall into a passive position...
It was like a joke, and the time it took to go from optimism to despair seemed to be in just a moment.
The master failed...
I don't know why I came to this inexplicable dark space...
How did it become the current situation?
The problem seems to have returned to its original starting point.
hiss!
But when I was about to continue digging the veins of the matter so far, a stinging pain suddenly surged behind me and swept across my body like a storm.
Cough uh!
I fell to the ground immediately.
…It hurts…and…it’s getting worse…
Burned by the high temperature... embedded in the iron... The violent pain has become increasingly unbearable... But in this world where vibrations cannot be conveyed, no matter how I open my mouth and scream, I cannot reap a trace of sound that can distract myself.
I...is almost unable to hold on...
Thoughts are gradually losing, consciousness is stripped off layer by layer, and the body can only be wrapped in endless pain, as if it is about to be peeled off so that there is no residue left...
Until... I only had less than a piece of feathers left...
The only pain was lost, leaving only the strange feeling of floating, which filled the whole body...
strangeness……
Am I... floating towards the sky...
Does this scene mean that I am about to disappear?
A little...scared...
I am afraid that I will never see my master again... I can't even miss my master...
No...I don't want to...
He tried desperately to shake his disappeared arm, trying to find the anchor point that did not exist at all.
etc……
What is that red light...
Suddenly... it appeared before my eyes...
My intuition tells me...it's coming to pick me up...
AhAh, no more... so sleepy...
Although... I am about to fall into a coma again... but... it makes people feel very safe...
Heart……………………
********************
……
The moment when my eyes opened, what caught my eye was a familiar and reassuring dimness.
(……)
It seems that the demon did not lie to me. The power of the magic stone can indeed produce unexpected effects based on different ways of using it.
Before my eyes could adapt to the tiredness of awakening from the sleep, a hand suddenly reached out from the field of vision to his chest. However, completely different from what I expected, the touch between the skin and the skin did not come. Instead, it was a strange feeling of a hard object embedded there.
The master smiled, and his pale face was filled with more gratitude because of his exhausted magic.
However, although it is the use of the Overlord's Magic Stone to forcibly maintain your life, this method is still incomparable to the miracle of resurrection.In fact, if you have to describe your current state, it may be more realistic to call you a magic-driven humanoid.
(……)
……
……
After looking at the expression that had not changed at all on this side for a long time, the owner who was waiting for some reason finally showed a hint of disappointment on his face.
Although I know that you will sacrifice your life for me without hesitation in the crisis, when I really encounter this situation, I can't help but be surprised by your actions... I will always owe you a life, Lufina, I know that this sentence is a bit funny by someone who is messing with your soul, but I have said a long time ago... I have no way to go... I only have to stick to this path to choose, otherwise all the efforts I have made before will fail...
Speaking of this, the master pursed his lips and looked elsewhere as if he was avoiding something.
I will do whatever it takes to complete my final pursuit.
********************
Ha...what am I thinking? Of course, things like humanoids do not have their own will or even speak.
I don’t know what I am still looking forward to when I am lucky enough to see what I am looking forward to. Perhaps I finally realized the current reality. The sighing master laughed at himself, and then began to turn his magic power seriously and slowly spit out two words.
stand up.
yes.
(stand up……)
When specific magic powers are transmitted into the mind, those words will turn into unshakable commands in the mind, controlling yourself to complete them.
Straighten your upper body... and then support your hands on both sides to help your feet stand completely...
It shouldn't take much time. The knights who wished to turn my mansion upside down would definitely find this place... Fortunately, I still have the last hidden stronghold, which they absolutely cannot know.
The master continued to mutter to himself.
Follow me.
yes.
(Follow...behind the master...)
His eyes were staring straight ahead, and his feet were moving mechanically alternately, but at the same time, his arms did not swing with the pace of progress at all, making his movements a little stiff.
Step...step...step...step...
One step...two steps...
The master was walking forward and kept a distance behind him.At this moment, the dark corridor in the basement was echoing two footsteps with different weights.
(Follow...behind the master...)
The only voice in my mind is the master's order...
Step...step...step...step...step.
Until the sound of the steps came to an abrupt end.
Lufina... Although it was too late to tell you at this time, I have been wanting to share with you a story that has been buried in my heart for a long time...
I don’t know how many journeys I have passed, but the owner suddenly opened his mouth to break the long-standing silence here.When he observed that the master stopped himself, he immediately switched from walking to standing.
Staring at the face that was still expressionless, the owner's already lonely expression suddenly became much more depressed.
Unfortunately... now you should have lost the ability to think in a complicated way and cannot understand the feelings I want to convey...
The master smiled helplessly, and could only put on the shadow under the dim light source again, turned his back and continued to move forward.
(Follow...behind the master...)
He lifted his pace again and followed his master.
Sorry, Lufina... If I had followed your advice to retreat, things might not have to fall to this point at all, and you would not have to become what you are now... All this is blamed on me!I'm really a hopeless fool!I'm really... sorry...
I know my apology is ridiculous. After all, even when you die, I still transform you into such a human form without autonomy for my ideals... Needless to say, even if I use my life to atone for you from now on, it is far from enough to make up for the sins I have committed against you... But, Lufina, I still want to tell you this story in person, although I know how stupid and ridiculous this action is, including delusion to relieve my inner guilt in this way... Just treat these as my own entertainment...
The master smiled bitterly, perhaps understanding that it would be meaningless to continue like this, but he decided to continue talking.
Lufina, in fact, from the first sight of you, I vaguely felt that you must be the one who brought the change to my destiny...
(……)
A long time ago, when I was the eldest son of the Robert family and had almost been appointed as the next heir to the family, I had justice and far-reaching ambitions.At that time, I always tried my best to respond to my parents' expectations with unremitting efforts, and I was lucky to never let them down.In the eyes of anyone, I am always the most outstanding existence among my peers. I was personally awarded the baron by the emperor at a young age, which has attracted unprecedented attention from my family.Countless families once came to me to propose marriage, and countless show-offs were sent to me in various forms.I said self-deprecatingly that if things went on like this, I might even become a member of the Braves Squad now... Haha...
However, at that time, how could I not understand what the price would be after accepting those kindnesses.The underground industries they operated, the huge chain of interests that had long been deeply bound in the dark, may be because my father has always turned a blind eye to these things, so that he can safely maintain his current status and fame. But I am too conceited, and those too dazzling honors make my eyes unable to accommodate the seemingly hypocritical closeness of the nobles, but in fact, they also want to drag us into the quagmire.As young, I was completely unable to accept my father's way of compromise, which was simply weak, and therefore inevitably had conflicts with him, and eventually, I fell into the ending of being hidden by my family.
But although it was hidden... Later, I gradually understood my father's good intentions to protect me, and since then I have never directly opposed my father's authority on the surface... But what I never thought was that the disaster was far from over, because as long as I was the next heir to the Robert family, those nobles would always be in a state of ease.So from a certain time, they could not tolerate it and began measures that they thought they could protect their official hats.No need to guess, as long as it prevents me from becoming the next heir of the Robert family, even silence is definitely a means worth a try for them.
Speaking of this, the master accidentally clenched his fist.
The nobles who had malicious intentions towards me were not stupid. They could not directly interfere with my family on the surface. Therefore, they urgently needed an agent who would carry out their plans on their behalf to influence my family from the inside.
But I never expected that the vicious plan that forced me to the present situation could be planned by one of my closest family members... I will never forgive him for the rest of my life... Before I can't hear his apology and then kill him, I will do anything to complete my revenge!Never!
Every word that was spit out of his mouth seemed as heavy as lead. The owner, who looked painful, took a deep breath and finally adjusted his mindset and continued to say it.
That day, they sent a slave named Leah to me in the name of giving birthday gifts.I, who was forced to accept this "gift" due to my father's request, will be responsible for this girl to the end in the future... I understand my father's original intention. He wants me to face what a noble will sooner or later, and hope that I can gradually understand the correctness of his approach, but I can never treat Riya as a slave, because I hate this dark system of treating people as commodities from beginning to end.I sympathized with Liya's experience and secretly vowed in my heart to try my best to soothe the girl's heart that had been hurt countless times in my heart.However, in my contact with Liya day after day, I was surprised to find that the strength and kindness shown by this girl far exceeded the level I imagined. Even in daily life, my heart began to gradually rely on Liya...
Fortunately, at least, I can still have a very beautiful memory...Liya is a very smart girl. She just became a servant and got the affirmation of the maid's maid in just a few weeks. She passed the basic maid's assessment and began to take over the care of my daily life.But before this, I could not imagine what could give a slave-born girl the motivation to work so hard.Her strength moved me very much. It can be said that under the pressure of the major nobles at that time, it was her encouragement that gave me the courage to continue to fight.All of this is completely inseparable from Liya's silent support for me.
What’s hateful and ridiculous is that I never noticed that the kind Liya had been secretly imposed by my brother behind the scenes of the forbidden technique.Think about it now... Maybe no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to avoid the tragic ending that she was destined to sacrifice as a tool to frame me...
Master, he cried...
I learned the forbidden technique that can control the spirit from the devil's classics. It is because my youngest brother has this vicious bargaining chip that he can win the deep trust of the nobles who are hostile to me.Before the incident, I never thought that he was such a cruel and insidious person behind his back. He manipulated the innocent Riya into my room during a time period that I didn't know, and secretly hid the real forbidden code in my bedroom, becoming the key physical evidence for the false crimes given to me later.
In this way, after spending the last happy time with Leah, that day finally came...
When Liya entered my room with an abnormal look on her face, she didn't notice the conspiracy and thought that Liya was frustrated because she encountered other people's difficulties.After all, the class superiority of most people in the family to their subordinates is deeply rooted, and I can't eradicate this phenomenon by myself.However, when I helped Lia to my seat, I didn't expect that the first sentence I received from Lia was actually 'Escape'.
Looking back now, Liya must be trying to use her own will to resist the orders received from my brother...but for me, who knew nothing about spiritual domination at that time, how could I truly understand the meaning of Liya's words?At that time, I could only constantly comfort Lia, but I didn't expect that what was about to happen would leave me with eternal pain.Yes... Just when I decided to thoroughly investigate the perpetrator to help Liya vent my anger, I always ignored the most critical point now, that is... the person Liya needs most at this moment is actually me...
My inadvertent release of my arms became the last straw that overwhelmed Lea. Just before I noticed something was wrong to stop her, Lea, who was trapped in control, took out a pair of scissors from somewhere. While she was crying, she trembled and cut her artery with a sharp weapon...
Who would have thought that in order to make Lea die in my room, the murderer even attached a deadly poison to the scissors.Even though I had used healing magic to heal Leya's wounds at the first time, I could only watch Leya in her arms become weaker and paler.I wanted to cry loudly, but Riya gently pressed her lips with one finger, reminding her not to speak.Finally... she used all her last bit of strength in her life and pointed it at the forbidden book that she had previously hidden in my room with that finger, and then passed away quietly with a smile.
Even at the last moment when her life was about to end, Riya was still so strong... In order not to let others hear the movements coming here, she never made any unnecessary sounds in such pain... Although this did not change the ending of a team of so-called witnesses who would pass by my room sooner or later... But it was precisely because of this that I understood how priceless everything she had given for me...
Whether it was the forbidden book that I had just obtained, or the hushed-out Liya who died quietly in my room, I knew that no matter how I defended it, I would never escape the death accused by those witnesses.However, maybe this is the path I am destined to take. As one of the culprits who ruined me here, the forbidden book I hold in my hand... at that moment I will give me the power to escape from this desperate situation.
The forbidden book hosts a demon who calls himself Solsif, who promises that he can help me escape from this place and ultimately assist me in completing my revenge against the initiator.The devil's transactions are never trustworthy. I have always understood this clearly, but I still agreed to His invitation without thinking, because no cost can compare to the tragedy of Leah's death because of me at this moment!So after that, I successfully escaped from the royal city and successfully carried the name of slander for life. Finally, under the guidance of the demon, I came to this mysterious manor.
Under the guidance of the demon, I spent several years gradually mastering the forbidden technique that dominated the spirit, and then, like my younger brother did... I began to constantly brainwash the women who could use it to accumulate my strength.Of course, my younger brother never stopped his movements. Just a few years later, I learned that he continued to use the power of the nobles behind him to overwhelm the Vitra family, who was dedicated to the ban technique in the Kingdom.I, lacking allies, realized that this was a rare opportunity, so I fought back on my brother for the first time that day.I secretly helped the Vitra family who was expelled from the capital of Paromia and promised to take action to remove the brainwashing magic set by their tribesmen. Of course, in exchange, I need them to appear at critical moments to serve as witnesses for my brother to secretly use the forbidden technique, and to provide me with the greatest strength before I complete my revenge.
However, my first counterattack quickly attracted the attention of my brother, and since that day, my actions in the capital have become difficult.My plan progress slowed down and eventually exceeded my patience, but at the same time, I gradually realized the other meanings of brainwashing magic to me.I was willing to fall into extremely convenient pleasure, and even let go of my obsession with revenge, and constantly deceived myself in my heart. This was the treatment I deserved to work hard to this extent.
Until…I met you.
Lufina, maybe it was only at this moment that I realized why I had a special feeling when I first saw you. The handsome and pity posture I saw when I first met, made me unknowingly coincide with the appearance of this scene when I first met Lea.No...not just that... Although I can't understand what it is, a certain trait that exists between you has always attracted me.Although I gradually lost my original bottom line because of my eagerness to revenge, and you gradually lost my original kindness because of the deepening of brainwashing, when the scene of you sacrificing yourself to save me finally happened, I realized that I am still the fragile guy who cannot accept others' sacrifices because of myself, and you will still fall into the tragic ending of becoming a pity piece sacrificed by me...
Can I still look back?If I could... I really think it would be great that nothing had happened, but it's been ten years since Riya's death, and your sacrifice has just happened, not to mention how numbing the number of lives that I have killed directly and indirectly now... I am an unforgivable guy, Lufina... But I have already reached this point and have no choice...
The master stood at the end of the corridor, stretched out his hand to stroke the magic circle hidden on the wall, injecting his own magic power into it. The next moment, the wall was like a liquid dripping with water droplets, with magical ripples.
Okay, we're here, that last hidden stronghold.
The master stepped directly into the portal.
And the next moment, I and my master were already stepping on a strange lawn.
This is where Leah is buried, Lufina.
With complex eyes, the master slowly squatted down and wiped away the dust and leaves on the tombstone in front of him with his right hand. Several soft moonlight interspersed under this night seemed to be silently describing a communication that crossed the boundary between the living and the dead.
...Liya, I will definitely avenge you.
After a long time, the master let go of the hand attached to the tombstone.
Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
But suddenly, an inappropriate applause sounded like a deliberately breaking into this place to annoy the owner.
Who is it!?
Brother Gilles, I didn’t expect that after so many years, you are still so obsessed with your slave. It really makes me, my younger brother, admire you very much.But what is the girl's name?I'm sorry because the time is too long, I can't remember it clearly. Can you please remind me?
Her short golden hair and delicate facial features that are somewhat similar to her master, her face is generally a little younger, but it has a bit of sinister curve at the corners of her eyes.
At some point, a figure had already stood behind the master. Perhaps he had been there watching the master for a long time, but he chose to show up at this time to insert the conversation.
Her name is Liya, you bastard!Ahem!The master cursed with his pale lips.
What a sad answer Ah, my brother.Compared to the identity of a mere slave, is my name even less worthy of your own words, brother?
Although the smile still remained on his face, the words were full of sarcasm and ridicule for his brother. The blonde boy spread his hands, as if he felt a little regret for the response he had just received.
Forget it.Brother Gilles, seeing that your condition is not very good, I won’t do anything to take advantage of others’ danger.Let’s just talk about my purpose here. I hand over the three magic stones in your hand. I can guarantee that I will not torture you to death with cruel means.
Needless to say, such useless words, I don’t plan to admit defeat.
Without saying a word, the master threw a high-level magic on the other party's face.
Go... It's really a brother Ah who wants to save face... Then the next thing depends on you, Mora.
What?
He never expected to hear this name from his brother. The next moment when the master was stunned, a dark figure suddenly rushed out from behind the other party and skillfully swung his sword before the magic arrow hit it.
The solid and heavy armor, the giant sword that is comparable to the human body, is completely different from the past, whether it is position or clothing, but... if you have to say that there is something that has not changed, it is the pair of eyes on her face that still carries a hole that has been fully brainwashed.
The owner's face was filled with relief after learning the truth.
My guess is indeed correct... Freeman should have established a very difficult cooperative relationship with you, Lete, a long time ago, right?
There is nothing so complicated, Brother Gilles, the interest relationship between us is very simple, Mr. Freeman wants to get more alchemy knowledge from me, I want to get information about your hiding place from him, the deal almost hit it off, that's all.
The boy named Lete explained to his master patiently, as if he was not afraid that his master would escape from this place, and he did not mind revealing the information.
So… Did Freeman tell you about this place?
Of course yes...huh?Haven't you met him?Logically speaking, he should have been with the brave and their siege team. It would be a pity that you didn't meet...
With a little surprised expression, Lete stroked his chin and pondered for a while, probably figured out the reason.
But to be honest, you are really miserable Brother Ah~ Not only have I deceived my status and reputation, I have done the dirty things you once hated the most, but in the end I will be betrayed by my friends, and I have given all my efforts to the object I should have revenge~ Brother Jills, what should I say?Now you have really lost everything hahahahahaha!
Just as Lete covered his face and laughed wildly, his right hand secretly snapped his fingers sideways, allowing Mora, who received the order, to launch a surprise attack.
clatter!
(There is hostility towards the master...)
The senses quickly noticed the other party's movements and stepped forward to block the master's body in two steps.
clang!
Then he accurately intercepted the direction of the opponent's attack and defeated the enemy with one blow in his sword.
Well!Mora took a few steps back with difficulty.
Roar ~?This girl seems to be quite outstanding. It seems that brother, you are not considered to have nothing.So just right, let me take your last thing over.
Above the fingertips that Lete stretched out slowly, a charming and familiar purple light burst out there, as if just a glance had a strange gravity that could make anyone's spirit deeply trapped in it.
Just a glance at his inadvertently when he repelled Mora, his consciousness instantly fell into a stagnation.
********************
(Add to... dominate...)
At this moment, my two feet seemed to be given the instinct to automatically move towards that ray of light...
(It must...go...go...)
Can't look there!Lufina!
Ah……!
If my shoulders were not held down by the owner in time, my consciousness would probably sink into it.
Haha, I'm quite alert, but this won't change anything~ Brother Gilles, I'll ask again at the end, are you planning to hand over the three magic stones in your hand voluntarily, or are you waiting for me to come and get it?
I said, I will not admit defeat!
Before Lethe could make a threatening attack, the unwilling master ran straight to the west of the forest.
Keep up with me!Lufina!
Only this time is the hoarse voice that can be pulled out when you are really anxious.
yes.
Or the instinct of physical movement or the experience accumulated over a long time, the moment the toes were pointed at the ground, his body jumped to a height of several meters, maintaining his body balance instinctively, and following closely behind his master.
Stop them.
Immediately afterwards, Lete's indifferent command came from behind his mind.
Crack!
In just a few seconds, the quiet and silent forest around him suddenly became restless and restless. The figures that could not tell the difference were straight out of the shadows and chased them closely behind the master at the same extraordinary speed.
Lufina, pay attention to the opponent's ranged weapons.
yes.
Throw!
As soon as the master issued a reminder, a dangerous sound of Zhang Xian resounded instinctively turned around in his ears, summoned a weapon, and with the precise capture of the breath, he swung his sword to block the predetermined trajectory of the flying arrows.
when!
But even if the interception is successfully intercepted, the appearance of this arrow is only the beginning of the opponent's real killing.
XiūXiūXiūXiū!
The cold weapons did not have any pity to the enemy. The more frequent attacks even woven into dense winds. They were like the sound of hell near the abyss of death, indicating the next unavoidable ending.
(You can't let the owner be injured...)
However, I just need to stand behind my master without hesitation...
…Wireless attacks are directly used to force the shock to open with the Douqi shield. Those threatening attacks will wield their swords to block their trajectory.
The sound of shuttle sounds in my ears was sorted out in my mind, and in an instant, organized the next defensive actions that should be taken.
Hit the sword body out, then quickly turn back, and at the same time, twisting and moving, avoiding secondary attacks with minimal movement.
(You can't let the owner be injured...)
This is the only idea that supports a humanoid action at this moment...
But no matter how hard the defense is, if you can't fight back, there will never be a chance to win, let alone the opponent's position is getting closer by taking advantage of the opportunity to be tired of defense, which makes the defense's fault tolerance gradually reach its own limit...
Lufina, are we still going to fall here...
He noticed the sign that the situation was getting worse, and tried his best to speak with a bitter smile on the assisting master.
(You can't let the owner be injured...)
He could not answer his master's question, but just did his best to resist all the attacks flying towards him for his master.
Until... a speeding sound suddenly approached behind him.
laugh!
As a strong sense of impact suddenly surged into his waist, his body lost coordination due to this injury and fell to the ground in front of the next additional arrow.
(You can't let the owner be injured...)
I can't understand the reason why my body cannot move without feeling pain, and I can only repeat the commands given by my master in my mind...
Lufina!!
The master's sad voice broke into his ears.
Sorry, I shouldn't have let you suffer like this in this way!All of this is my fault!
While speaking, the master picked up the unmovable body with tears on his face and continued running forward frantically.
Arrows and magic. Even though the master master mastered extraordinary defensive magic through the Sage Magic Stone, the attacks eventually broke through the master's magic barrier and continued to create serious scars on the master's body.
A cold arrow hit the master's back.
Puff Ah!Soon...we will arrive soon!Lufina!
I don't know why I insisted.
Even if you leave the forest, it will not change the ending of being chased to death. The owner who glimpsed the exit of the forest was still a little bit of gratitude for some reason, and couldn't help but speed up the running speed under his feet.
Double chant • Mist of Light • Mist of Dark.
It includes using the last magic to temporarily resist the enemy's footsteps, perhaps in order to see the scenery hidden behind the exit that is called the Hope.
The last chance...
But at this moment, God will not even give this little expectation to himself...No... it is my master...
Behind the Yezha is an endless orange sky, and on the horizon that is level with the cliff, is a piece of white light that has just revealed.
This way Ah...it's over...
The master, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, knelt down, then took out a knife from his cloak and handed it to my hand lying in his arms.
Although I was very unwilling to give up, this is probably the punishment I will suffer sooner or later... Lufina, I am very happy to meet you who made me rekindle my fighting spirit. But it is time to let me welcome the ending I deserve.
The master's eyes stared at my face tightly, but he couldn't help but blink because of the foreign object that was born there. Although he wanted to sideways the more wet eyes to hide himself, he didn't expect that this could only leave out even more difficult tears in my vision.
After I die, your brainwashing will be automatically untied. If you can have this memory that kills me with your own hands, maybe you will not hate me so much.
Kill me, Lufina, and kick me off the cliff.
At least, I don't want my body to be seen by Lethe... The master smiled.
yes.
(Kill...master...)
I grabbed the knife given to me by my master in my hand, and then cut it hard towards the neck that my master had exposed at me.
Puff!
The surging blood poured out, spreading the hot temperature along the blade... to my hands...
……
My face, which had been stiff for a long time, finally loosened a little.
Ah……
Just like the moment when a simple instrument played a bright sound, my voice suddenly floated from the depths of my heart that had been silent for a long time.
……
The master died, and he died at his own hands.
This blood is also the last warmth that the master can give him...
The brainwashing disappeared, the shackles of thinking were gradually untied, and all the information jumped out of the closed plane, reminding oneself of oneself.
But……
Even so...
I still...I don't want this to happen...
Even though I knew that this was all false intentions created in the skull, I still couldn't go against the feeling that couldn't help but surge in my heart.
...Is it true?...Is it fake?
No matter what... those things experienced are indeed engraved in the body and mind.
This guy has done something quite a bit of a mess to himself...
Dress me up like this... a handsome man with strange persistence towards the maid...
Bastard... just ran away with a cool and thought, I haven't slapped you hard in the face yet to vent my deep hatred for being a maid for several months without any reward...
Yes...haha...
Why is I still crying for this man when I was treated like this...
I couldn't help but close my eyes, unwilling to face my distorted thoughts.
But after a long time, I opened my eyes and found that the colors in front of me were no longer the familiar ones.
Ah…Ah…
What...what's going on...
It was like a pot of water that had not yet been dried, making the boundaries of colors in the picture blur uncontrollably.
The world is no longer real, everything turns into a phantom behind the rain.
Ah, is this a dream?
It is clearly such a clear and real memory, but now you tell me that these are all dreams!?
Talent... Talent...
Don't want AhAhAhAhAhAhAh
…………
…………
……………
Ahahahahahahahahah!
Accompanied by the screams, he jumped up from the bed.
Oh...what is this...
I turned my head and looked around the luxurious interior of this bedroom with a confused look on my face.
Miss Lufina, did you have a nightmare just now?But don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you.
How could I be in this place?
Weirdly, when did I lie on the bed...and then this man sitting on the side of my bed...?
When we first met, Miss Lufina, please let me introduce myself. My name is Lethe Robert, the next heir to the Marquis of Robert. For a long time before, you have been mentally controlled by an evil criminal, so you are likely to be very unfamiliar with the current situation.But don't worry, everything is over, the criminal has received the punishment he deserves, and you can live a free life again.
The man with short blonde hair was politely leaning on his chest and introducing himself. Judging from his extremely luxurious clothes and the Marquis who introduced himself, he should be a very rich... No, it is probably not appropriate to describe this... In short, it is just a very powerful person.
……
……Um?
strangeness?Didn't I go back to reality?
Doesn’t this mean... the previous super long dream was not a false memory...
What happened before?
Uh...what's going on? I always feel that my memory is a bit blurry and I can't even remember it...
Tickling his head and worried about the inexplicable development of things, he caught a glimpse of a palm trying to withdraw from the pillow without a trace.
Could it be that this man wanted to do something rude?
But thinking about it, with the other party's identity, this man should not do such a thing...
Well... don't care.
Although it feels like a lot of things are missing.
But my life in another world that belongs to me has just begun.
