「Elder sister………」
「You are trying to tell me that this object is dangerous? Unfortunately for you, I will be the one to make my own decisions on the matter」
If the Divine Corpse is truly in this location, then before those Iblis demons get to it, I will make it mine. I don’t know what kind of power it will have but, I don’t think it will have the power to protect her or the elves from the demonic invasion to come. In any case, if she refuses to hand it over to me, I will just use my Enslavement Magic on Diane.
「No….Slavemancer, it seems that you do not understand a single thing. Anyone who touches that will meet their end」
「What did you say….?」
Diane the Priestess shakes her head solemnly as she slowly stood up. In front of my eyes, the pure white robe covering her pure and unblemished body slowly slid to the ground.
「Sierra, this is the thing I wanted to show you. If you see this, you would understand it even if you didn’t want to………There is nothing more that you can do now」
「E-elder sis, What is it………!?」
Before Sierra manages to finish her sentence, it changed into a gasp. Even I widened my eyes in surprise.
「The Divine Corpse will absorb the life force of any who dare to touch it. Nobody can hold this object within their hands……Furthermore…」
The thing that stole our gaze was not her beautiful naked body….. It was the repulsive thing that was carved into her skin.
This was clearly the reason why Diane did not meet with anyone directly and was constantly behind her curtains.
「Having become like this I….Can no longer be rescued」
There was some sort of object that stuck to the side of her abdomen. It was a transparent crystal like thing that solidified over her skin……No that’s not it. The crystal itself was part of her skin, flesh and body. Her body was the one being “transformed” into a crystal.
「……Geez, what is Master thinking. Well I’m kinda used to it though…..」
At the Entrance of the Shrine… Amelia glanced at the dark elf who was happily unconscious as she breathed out a sigh. Thick cloudy fluids was dripping from her dark brown thighs.
「I’m so jealous, she had so much poured into her…..No-no that’s not the point! Leaving me out here. Whilst going in alone, will Master really be alright?」
She was told to wait here for a little while, but as expected she was getting really worried. How long should she wait, before she should enter? The female soldier was folding her arms as she thought about such things, it was at that time…
Bekon……a bizarre sound resounded.
A portion of nearby walls and ceiling next to Amelia was seemingly destroyed by something as a big hole opened up.
「Wha- what’s going on!?」
Amelia reflexively takes a fighting position as she shields herself with her chained blade. An anticlimactically small shadow buoyantly climbed out of the hole…..
「Sniff sniff…..Sniff sniff. As expected the smell is coming from here…..But, even though it’s a similar smell, it feels a little different??」
The figured that appeared was that of a small child, who was wearing a luxurious black and gold colored kimono, with a bit of her shoulder peeking out from the dress. Her dark purple colored long hair was fluttering and her nose was like some sort of a small cute animal as it twitched. At first glance, she seemed to be a harmless child…..However, there was a bat like wing across her back and a red pattern carved on her forehead.
「Isn’t that the crest of a demon…..!? Also, it seems to be the crest of a high ranking demon, just like Palmyra……!」
Amelia spoke out that “name” without thinking. The girl who was previously completely disregarding the existence of the human as if she was a sort of fly in the background, suddenly turned around to face her. Cute fangs peeked out of her lovely mouth.
「Hey heyy, Onee-chan. Did you say the name, Palmyra, just now? You said it…..didn’t you?」
