Volume 10, Chapter 70: Soul Destruction
“Lord Fir! Wake up Lord Fir!”
In a haze, I could hear someone calling me that.
But I was shocked when I woke up! A werewolf with long grey hair was holding me with one hand while jumping around.
“That......”
I was interrupted when I tried to say something.
“Have you woken Lord Fir? That’s good, you were caught by that terrible witch just now. You nearly died.”
“What......”
I flew up with my wings. Looking at the state of my body, there was nothing wrong except for a bit of weakness.
“I’m sorry.”
I said to him.
“Your Lord is actually dead. This body has returned to it’s original owner.”
The werewolf was stunned. After a while he sighed.
“Is that so? So our Lord had lost......”
“Eh? You easily accepted it. I was expecting that you would yell ‘That’s impossible!’ or ‘Don’t lie to me!’ a few times.”
“Haha. I’d love to say that, but I was told a long time ago when I first met Lord Fir that he was just borrowing the body for a little bit.”
“That guy actually said that? Well, it actually troubled him. It sounds like if he wasn’t an enemy then we could have been friends.”
“Perhaps......”
The werewolf laughed. Although its looks were ugly, I could tell that it was a laugh.
After the laugh, he became a bit gloomy and turned around.
“Allright, I’m going back to report. As for coming back to the battle, this isn’t something I can sway. You should get out of here too. By the way, Lord Fir had something he wanted to say to you.”
“Hm?
This guy is really long-winded, there was also a message to joke about.
“He said that, if one day he lost, and another person took his body back, he told me to ask that person to be kind to the remaining Undead Holy Angels. We are all the same race.”
“Oh, that. I can’t control that. It’s the Demon King’s business to deal with them.”
“Haha, that’s true. All right, that was it.”
Done, that guy quickly accelerated and disappeared from view leaving me staring blankly.
That’s a fast run. Really......
Well, although you don’t sound like a bad guy, how should I but this......
Don’t even think of getting any good will now that you’ve hurt Oyado and Aliyah you bastard.
Looking, it seems that my level has returned to it’s previous state.
But it did add the experience that I had gained while I was Felicia. It’s reached level 57, which is nice.
But it would have really saved me a lot of work if that hundred something level my body had before stayed behind.
......
How is it possible that something so convenient could exist.
Let’s go back. Although their soul was collected by Bergis, it should still exist. It’d be better to go back first before deciding what punishment to give him.
And Oyado’s injury......
Thinking that, I speed back towards the direction I had come from.
——————————————duang——————————————
Because of that I met Bai Yueguang and Tai Shixi head on.
The two of them were shocked when they saw me. After staring at me for some time, they finally asked me a question.
“Fir?”
“Yes, yes. Tell this lord your problems.”
I waved my wings as I spoke.
“Bit of a show off. Is it fine if I chopped your wings into barbecue?”
“Tch. Barbecue?
“Allright you two.”
Tai Shixi moved to stop us.
“We need to hurry back. Oyado’s injury isn’t quite stable yet. It needs to be treated with a healing spell.”
I already began to rush back before she had finished talking.
Are you kidding, There isn’t anything that can be done in a hurry, but Oyado isn’t ok!
Flying at full speed, I returned to where we were in ten seconds.
Glancing around, I swooped down to the ground when I saw Oyado and Aliyah.
“Aliyah, how’s Oyado?”
Hearing this, Aliyah stared at me before she finally reacted.
“Ah, it’s.......you came back. Ah wait. Tai Shixi took the spurs out of Oyado with a Hidden Technique and I restored her HP with a healing potion, but she isn’t showing any sign of waking up.”
“Is that so......”
I quickly went over and cast healing magic that dispelled nonlethal abnormalities on Oyado.
Layers of white light came out of Oyado’s body. Some nearby demons that were looking in saw that light, became scared, and fled.
Ignoring them, I continued to use magic on Oyado until she was completely healed and her body had returned to it’s original state. Making sure she didn’t have any abnormal states and that her health was full, I cast the high-level light magic spell Diagnosis.
‘Extreme Fatigue’
I sighed in relief when I saw those words appear and turned to Aliyah.
“This is......Thank you. If you hadn’t immediately saved Oyado, I probably would have hated myself for the rest of my life.”
“What......”
Aliyah didn’t seem to be satisfied.
“You cared about Oyado, but not about me at all......”
“That’s not it.”
I hugged Aliyah.
“It’s good that you’re all right too.”
“I......You bastard!”
Aliyah broke free and escaped from me.
“You, you, you......What’s going on here?”
“What? Don’t you want me to care about you?”
“You can’t suddenly......eh......You, you couldn’t be that bastard and trying to deceive us!”
“What......”
I helplessly scratched my head.
“Aliyah, Human, Level 60, Rogue, Dual Swordsman, you have the title Building Destroyer......”
“Stop, I get it! You are definitely Fir!”
She quickly stopped me.
“I......I’m going to report to the Demon King. You watch Oyado, and don’t touch her!”
With that, she instantly disappeared.
......
“Well......”
Looking at the still sleeping Oyado, I shrugged.
“There’s still something I need to do......Bergis? I know you’re still there.”
“Well, this body seems pretty decent.”
Bergis dropped to my side. Her hair began to slowly shorter and turn bluer, and her grey skin started to change back to it’s original appearance.
That’s right. She was changing back into Felicia’s original appearance.
“Alright. I’ve decided. I’m going to use this body to follow you around!”
“Hold on a second, your excellence, don’t you have to return to your personal space?”
She just said that she’d help me solve the problem, knocked me out, and took control of my body.
But, looking at the results, it’s certainly true that things have been resolved.
“No. And after thousands of years, I’m curious as to how the world has developed.”
“Is that so......”
I sighed.
“That body isn’t mine but belongs to another girl, so......”
“Her soul has already disappeared. Don’t you understand that at all?”
“......”
She doesn’t hold back her words. Seriously.
“Maa, don’t give me that look. This is one destiny. Ok, what are you going to do about that guy’s soul?”
She opened her book, and inside of it there was a sketch of an undead holy angel sketched with a pen.
And from the sketch, I could sense that the soul was agitated.
“Can you copy the skills from his memory?”
“Well......I can. But it would bring along some of his memories as well.”
“Do it.”
I smiled.
“Take out his skills, and then......completely annihilate his soul. He has to pay the price for hurting Oyado.”
