Raised the Villainous Daughter and Ran Away

157. The joy of reunion later.

“jin…?”

France’s eyes widened.

Now, his voice, which I could only hear as an auditory hallucination, and Jin’s back, which I could only beg him not to leave while watching his back as he left, have returned as real.

“jin…!”

I didn’t know what to say. No, to be exact, I didn’t know where to start. I had so many things I wanted to say that my tongue was tied.

“Your Majesty, the joy of our reunion will come later.”

“ah…….”

France nodded and swallowed her words. Now was not the time to be emotional.

“Transcendent wizard, are you ready?”

Jin took a step forward.

Kugugugugugugu─!

Suddenly, the ground shook and the air felt heavy, so heavy that it was difficult to even breathe or stand up.

The aura is opened to the maximum.

If a battle were to break out like this, it wouldn’t be strange if an entire country were to be wiped out. However, Ladrien’s attitude didn’t waver at all.

“Kilkill, it is time to fulfill the contract, Jean Barenberg.”

Ladrien is smiling and giggling in this situation. What on earth is so enjoyable about it?

“I don’t know if it’s a contract or anything. You wait a minute.”

Hwaaak! Pure white flames burst out around Jin. With a single gesture, an aura spread around, and Ladrien’s magical waves completely disappeared.

“uh?”

“You’re free.”

“This is the aura of destruction… … .”

Jin said, looking around at the released body for a moment.

“Go to the Duke quickly.”

“Oh, yes!”

Kazar supported Ladea, who had lost her strength, and Kale staggered toward Francesca.

“Hmm, but the assimilation rate is still lacking. Do I have to show it?”

Ladrien muttered quietly, narrowing his eyebrows and caressing his chin.

“Don’t even think about going comfortably.”

Thud, thud. Every time Jin moved, the pressure grew stronger. He even began to have hallucinations that the air seemed to be rippling.

“I guess there’s nothing I can do.”

Bam! The Transcendent Wizard snapped his fingers and a giant turquoise force field appeared. When he came to, only Jin and Ladrien had disappeared from the scene.

“what…?”

“It seems like the two of them entered the inner barrier.”

“Phew, is it over?”

As Kazar and Kale breathed a sigh of relief, they noticed Somire backing away from a distance.

“What should I do about that?”

“Whatever, bring him here.”

“i get it.”

Crackle! Cale was moving at high speed as a crimson current burst out in all directions. In less than a minute, Somire was dragged by Cale by the scruff of her neck.

“Let go of this! Why am I like this…!”

A face full of evil. What is this girl so aggrieved about? Frances shook her head.

“Okay. I’ll decide what to do with you later. Kazar? Bind me.”

Kazar nodded and said, “Yes,” then deployed three magic circles. Bam! Chains of various magical powers wrapped around Somire.

“Why am I… why am I like this… … .”

Somire knelt down with her eyes tightly shut. She screamed in frustration.

“You guys are just NPCs! How can you do this to me, a real person?”

But no one cared about her.

“Grandma! Where the hell did you go! You said you’d help me! You said you’d help me get out! You said you’d take responsibility for it because it was your mistake!!”

Soon, Somire started to cry.

“Please, why me… why me…! Why!!!”

Eventually, her mind collapsed. Not a single piece of debris could be found. Frances looked down at Somire with cold eyes.

“You were fooled. You and I were just used for Ladrien’s purposes.”

Somire looked up at France with sparkling eyes.

“What…? What on earth are you talking about…?”

“I’m being literal. Ladrien had no intention of helping you from the beginning.”

“No, that can’t be… The reason I came here was because of that old lady…!”

Somire’s shattered face was beyond words. It must have been an expression created by a combination of many emotions…

‘That’s what happens when a person is ruined.’

Even France, who was stabbed by her, felt a little sympathy. Kazar approached and said.

“Don’t worry about that woman right now. Let’s wait for Mr. Jin to come out.”

“Yeah. Even if we talk now, it won’t make any sense. Let’s wait for Jin to come out.”

There’s a lot I want to say. There’s a lot I want to tell you. There’s a lot I want to hear.

France waited quietly.

To finish everything and meet Jin.

* * *

Inside the back barrier filled with darkness. It’s the same scenery as before, but there’s only me and the Transcendent Wizard. It’s like a world inside a mirror.

anyway.

“Why did you bring me here?”

I can’t understand the thoughts of that transcendent wizard. It would be suicidal to deploy such a force field.

“We need to raise the fairy tale rate. Didn’t you say it was time to fulfill the contract?”

I opened my eyes shallowly and raised my sword. Raising the assimilation rate, does that mean you want to deepen the synchronization? This is difficult.

“You don’t have to be so vigilant. If the fairy tale rate goes up and Jin Barenberg returns, it won’t be your death.”

I wondered what he was talking about. I just smiled and aimed my sword.

“You want me to believe that? If it was someone I can trust, then I wouldn’t mind, but how can I trust you, who brought things to this point?”

It’s not like it’s a big deal to break a barrier like this. It’s impossible to erase the magic circle engraved on the soul, but the Aura of Destruction erases everything that exists in this world.

“We signed a contract to plan for each other’s future, but you’re being too harsh. You’ll understand once all your memories come back.”

Ladrien spread his arms and unleashed his magic. A green and red magic circle. I don’t know what kind of magic it was, but he was surrounded by an aura of obliteration.

“I’ll show you. What happened to that red-haired witch.”

Ladrien’s magic unfolds as she brings her outstretched arms together. It doesn’t seem like the magic she’s using on me.

“Listen, look.”

Woof…! A vortex of magical power that can be seen without having to strengthen your vision with an aura. This is transcendent magic.

“I don’t know what it is, but I won’t let you do whatever you want.”

I took a step forward and stepped on the stepping stone. Bam! A huge crack appeared under my feet and my body was shot out like an arrow.

The moment I was about to swing my sword.

“Reverse, replay.”

Phew! A bright light appeared that made it impossible to open my eyes.

“… … .”

The scenery has changed.

Judging from the bed, it is definitely a bedroom. Although it is a single room, the space is divided, and all the furniture looks antique, suggesting it is a mansion belonging to a noble or imperial family.

And in the middle of it all, Somire and France were seen sitting on the sofa, facing each other.

“…Is this a hallucination?”

“It’s not a hallucination.”

I turned my head and there was a transcendent wizard.

“It’s just a reenactment of what happened while you were gone.”

I don’t know what you want, but I decided to just watch.

The two talked quietly. I couldn’t hear the content. But that was only for a moment. Somire’s expression began to crumble, and she took out a dagger from her bosom.

Somire gets up from her seat and slowly approaches. Frances quickly uses her black magic, but it doesn’t work on Somire, who possesses the divinity of a goddess.

“… … .”

France continued to use black magic to somehow resist. She tried restraining him with chains and using necromancy to push him forward with numbers.

It was all useless.

In the end, Frances chose to run away. As she ran out the door leading out of the bedroom, Somire attacked her with divine magic.

Crunch. Frances’s ankle, lying on the floor, was red and swollen. She had sprained her ankle.

Somire continued to approach. Frances tried to escape even if she had to crawl… … .

Chin! Eventually they caught up and fought each other with a dagger between their bodies.

Frances screams, sobbing. Judging from the shape of her mouth, it was first Kale, then Kajar, then Ladea, and then me.

She called my name desperately when death was upon her face.

But the wish did not come true. In the end, phew! A dagger was stabbed into her abdomen.

My fingertips were trembling, and there were twitches under my eyes. I was seething with anger. Was this really something that happened in the past? Was it something that happened because I left? I couldn’t believe it.

At that time.

[Player immersion increases.]

[Synchronization deepens.]

“Why on earth is this!?”

“Kil kil, that woman’s death comes to mind.”

I want to cut off the head of the giggling transcendent wizard right now, but… … .

[Character – Jean Barenberg.]

[Inherits the character’s memories and personality.]

There was no time for that. Bam! A pain as if my bones were being crushed came rushing in and I felt like my brain was being squeezed.

“Ouch, aaah!”

“Why did you accept death… … .”

“If I had been there, I could have achieved my goal.”

“If you had trusted me, if you had only made a choice, you could have given up everything… … .”

The scene then plays.

Jin hugs France, who has grown cold, and caresses her cheek. His face is too horrible to describe in words.

Anger, regret, sadness, despair, doubt, bewilderment.

The first thing Jin did, filled with negative emotions, was to pick up his sword.

“I will kill you all here.”

There was no mercy in his voice as tears of blood flowed.

Jin swung his sword silently.

He killed all the humans in the empire. He destroyed the nations. He killed even the non-human races. Even the demons could not avoid the disaster called Jin Barenberg.

Jin killed all living things on the continent.

“Ugh…!”

The scene that flashed through my brain ended. Unlike before, it didn’t seem to be noisy. The complete memory had come in.

“Now I’m ready.”

While I was unconscious from the pain, the Transcendent Wizard snapped his fingers!

[90% synchronization achieved.]

[All conditions are met.]

[Fragments of memory are combined.]

“Gasp, huh!”

What are you doing this time? I have a headache that feels like my skull is being split open with a pickaxe.

“What the heck, what the heck…!”

“Fulfill the contract.”

The transcendent wizard looked down at me as I collapsed with cold eyes. All I could do was clutch my head and writhe in pain.

“Kuaaah!”

[Complete the fragments of memory.]

[When the conditions are met, the Transcendence Magic Circle is activated.]

Woof!!!

[The wish of a transcendent being who wanted to change fate.]

“That transcendent being possessed a power that no one could surpass.

It is the strongest being at the top of the food chain, and cannot be defeated by any being.

However, he was unable to save the one he loved due to the imprint engraved directly on his soul.

It was a very simple task, but I couldn’t accomplish it.

The transcendent one hoped and hoped again.

‘Please give me a chance to make this all right.’

Then, a wizard came to see him.

‘KilKil, how about making a deal with me?’

Dealing with that wizard was something he would never have done, but the Transcendent had no choice.

‘What should I do?’

The transcendent being who lost his love made a deal with the wizard.

The price was his soul, his life, his being. Everything. “

[Fragments of memory have been combined.]

[Current fairy tale rate 100%]

[Jean Barenberg returns.]
