Under the night sky, the wind and snow continue to rage.
In this blizzard night where one can barely open their eyes and hardly see anything, the glacier below the cliff is still surging like a giant letting out roars. If it weren’t for the howling wind and snow covering the sound, the water’s roar would likely travel far, heard by those passing nearby.
Of course, on a snowy night like this, no one would venture out into the wild nearby.
Originally... it should indeed be like this.
"Boom!"
At a certain mont, the surface of the glacier suddenly exploded, sending up a spectacular splash.
"Roar!"
With a heroic roar, a golden lion burst out from the water, leaping high up to the cliff, then falling with gravity onto the snow below.
"It’s out..."
Reiger jumped down from the alchemical beast, looking at the storm, feeling a bit emotional.
"Why is the entrance and exit to the Tistis tribe’s land set in such a place?"
Hmm, rather than emotion, it was more like complaining.
"The tribe’s entrance and exit aren’t just this one." Yanifet also jumped down from the alchemical beast, bathed in snow and wind, but showed no change of expression: "This was originally an escape passage, only opened in ergencies, and I thought this place was the closest, hence guided the girl here."
"You surely caused quite a bit of trouble." Reiger bluntly said: "Cleria was just an ordinary person. How could she be fine after falling into such a glacier?"
"Weren’t you fine?" Yanifet responded nonchalantly: "Besides, at that ti I hadn’t fully awakened yet, so I instinctively did this in a dazed state. In that state, my understanding of the external world was lacking; mistakes were inevitable."
"Moreover, even if the girl really got into trouble, my awakening would have saved her anyway."
"But, in that case, it might have taken quite so ti."
After saying this, Yanifet turned her head to look at Reiger.
"I know you want to go to Urvashi’s queen palace to et the current queen."
"Since it’s a promise, even if made without my knowledge, I won’t deny it."
"Co with to Urvashi, and enter the queen’s palace."
It seems Yanifet had gained quite a lot of information from Cleria’s mory.
At least, from the current Yanifet, Reiger no longer felt the initial sense of discordance the other brought him.
With the bloodline awakening, this woman is recovering her strength at an astonishing speed and rapidly adapting to her current body.
Everything Cleria owned might be slowly taken over by this woman.
"...What will happen to her?"
Reiger was silent for a while and tentatively asked this question.
Although it was a bit out of the blue, Yanifet obviously understood Reiger’s aning.
"She was born to bear my soul." Yanifet said sowhat unfeelingly: "Since I’ve awakened, her mission is naturally complete."
The implication was clear, and Reiger could hear it.
With the mission complete, Cleria naturally no longer had a reason to continue existing.
Under the current circumstances, that slightly masochistic girl likely faced only two outcos.
Either she would never wake up.
Or her consciousness would be erased.
Yanifet would definitely do such a thing.
Because, in her view, only those with power have the right to dominate everything. Cleria clearly wasn’t the powerful one, so she naturally could only be dominated.
In this regard, Reiger didn’t feel too sympathetic.
It can’t be helped. He and Cleria had only t by chance, knowing each other for just a few days, with no morable mories or emotions, Reiger wasn’t moved to compassion.
If it were sothing solvable with a helping hand, Reiger wouldn’t mind doing so.
But it was apparent to everyone that the situation was complicated, not sothing that could be solved easily, so with such shallow connections, Reiger didn’t think much more about it.
However, he was a bit curious about one thing.
"Who exactly is Cleria? And why are you in her body?"
To Reiger’s question, Yanifet wasn’t as eager to explain anymore.
"I have answered many of your questions and revealed much secret information to you, along with this alchemical beast. I’ve given you enough as the defeated; I have no reason to continue answering your doubts."
Yanifet’s words made Reiger laugh out.
"So, are you saying you want to fight again?"
Reiger was quite interested in this matter.
Yanifet’s power had already grown much stronger than before, maybe enough to let him have a bit of fun.
While Reiger was thinking so, Yanifet said this.
"I naturally want revenge, but not now." Yanifet looked at Reiger, her face breaking into a beautiful smile as if snow and ice lted: "Once I recover all my strength and retrieve the Inheritance Sword, then even if you want to escape, I won’t allow it."
Reiger found that only when ntioning battle, this woman would smile.
"You’re not only a proponent of strength, but also a battle maniac."
Reiger rolled his eyes.
