Chapter 417 – 417. The Half-Elf Girl (2)
Her decapitated corpse of vampires, her arms and legs severed and her head splattered from the splattered corpse, stained with blood, Alvin stared at her floor.
The interior environment of the abandoned warehouse, which is full of flesh and stained with blood, is a very grotesque and eerie sight.
“… Did I do it?”
Alvin was self-help.
For the sake of her sister, she saw how spleen and cruel she could be.
She felt skeptical about herself as she had no appreciation for turning a single person into such a hideous chunk of meat that she couldn’t even keep her eyes open.
It’s not the first time I’ve killed a person.
His first evil act was murder.
It was also her father who persecuted herself and her sister.
I have no regrets about that action at that time, the action of killing Billard brutally by cutting off his limbs and crushing his head.
But is he normal when he doesn’t feel any inspiration?
Alvin was confused.
“Brother.”
“… !”
The voice of her little girl calling her name startled Alvin and turned her back.
“You are!? And these, these corpses… !”
What Elvin found was a young girl and two knights who had entered the abandoned warehouse.
The knights put the name Elvin was called in the adventurer’s guild in her mouth.
And when he found three corpses in an abandoned warehouse, his complexion turned blue.
“What happened here?”
When she questioned the situation at the warehouse with a sharp look on her face, Erwin immediately explained the situation to the knights.
“These are vampires and human collaborators who have infiltrated this territory.”
“… Vampires!?”
The knights immediately approached the corpse and inspected it.
The four fangs protruding up and down at both ends of the mouth match the characteristics of vampires passed on from Alex in advance.
With this, the speculation that vampires had sneaked into this territory turned into a certainty.
After checking, the knights moved their gaze to Alvin.
“What are you going to do from now on?”
The knights knew that Erwin was Erin’s older brother and had a direct connection to Eun-hyeon.
I could understand why Eris had a link with Eunhyeon and had a servant of the duke’s family.
“I am…”
What to do.
Originally, after successfully dealing with the vampires, he planned to continue to search for them by wandering around the territory.
However, Erwin, who was currently skeptical about her own existence and was further confused by the appearance of Eris, did not immediately give an answer.
The knights didn’t notice that Elvin, who was wearing a helmet, was confused at the moment.
“Elvin has a place to go with me.”
Eris moved closer to her hesitant Elvin and she squeezed his fingers tightly.
Elvin’s hand, which she wore in plate mail made of shadows, was one and a half times larger than when she was in human form.
“…”
Elvin felt her girl’s little finger gripping her own finger wrapped in her armor, and she unknowingly shook Eris’s finger away.
“Uh?”
She immediately moved her steps and distanced herself from her to see Alvin, who was far away, and Eris stared at her Alvin with her puzzled expression on her face.
“…”
Alvin stared straight ahead at her, and she didn’t openly try to meet Eris’ eyes next to her.
Feeling the strange atmosphere flowing between the two, the knights tilted their heads, but did not bother to dig deeply.
“Okay.”
Immediately after checking, the knights got up from their seats and slightly bowed their heads to Eris.
“Thank you for guiding us here.”
“Yes. I’m rooting for you. Knights!”
Fortunately, Eris, who had set the goal of meeting Erwin, decided that it was okay to leave it to him, and the knights headed straight to the duke’s mansion to inform them of the existence of vampires and human collaborators.
As the knights left, Eris, who was left alone, looked up at Elvin’s helmet from a distance.
“Brother. Come on, let’s go to the orphanage. I have to help Lily.”
“… Lily?”
When Lily’s story came out, Elvin, feeling suspicious of her, belatedly turned her head and met Eris’s gaze.
“Ah, that’s right. Are you unable to finish it?”
She had heard from Eunhyeon about the relationship between vampires and succubuses, but Lily, who had no fighting skills at all, had a fatal flaw in that she could not stop the blood of vampires.
However, when she asked the knights of Armitas, it was difficult for her identity as a demon to be revealed, and Alvin was the best person to finish it off.
“Yes. So come on…”
“I get it. And… You shouldn’t come close.”
“Yes?”
“It bleeds. Your hands are dirty.”
Eris stared at Elvin’s shadow armor, stained with the blood of vampires and people.
“Ah.”
Eris knew why Elvin was so blatantly avoiding her.
He was bewildered now.
Even though she was her enemy, she didn’t want Eris to see herself brutally murdering her opponent and soaking her armor in blood, the brutal grotesque sight of her being ripped into chunks of meat on her floor.
“Brother.”
Eris moved her steps toward Alvin, not paying attention to Alvin’s words.
Eris, getting closer and closer, grabbed Alvin’s cold fingers once more.
“Why are you crying?”
“Are you crying? I?”
Alvin couldn’t understand Eris’ question.
He was reborn as an artificial spirit, and there was no such thing as a tear gland in his fake body called a homunculus.
Her own body cannot shed tears.
Eris wondered what the hell she was seeing and that she thought she was crying.
“Are you afraid?”
“…”
“Are you afraid Erin is afraid of her brother? Or me?”
Alvin didn’t answer.
Her questions, which penetrated her heart and pierced her heart, were so intense that she could not answer them.
For the sake of her sister, for the sake of her precious people, she herself could be cruel, but what Elvin fears most now is that her dearest people, including her sister Erin, will kill him. Is to deny the existence of
Even though she thought it couldn’t be, she feared and denied herself that she would create the same brutal sight as she is now.
Will he be able to survive?
Alvin said she didn’t have the confidence to do that.
“Brother Alvin.”
Eris stood in front of Elvin, looking up at his armored face.
“I want to see her brother’s face.”
“…”
Elvin released her shadow covering her own body at Eris’s request.
Eris smiled at the sight of Erwin’s eyes, which were shaking with agitation.
“Are you okay. Brother.”
After disarming her, Elvin’s human form was in a pristine state without a speck of dust.
Eris clasped Elvin’s hand, left her warehouse and walked down the dark street together.
She went ahead and she led Alvin and seated him on a bench in her street.
“Eris? What…”
When Eris stepped on her bench and climbed higher than Elvin, Eris pulled Elvin’s head and hugged her tightly.
“Are you okay. Brother Alvin.”
Eris’s words, which he had repeated over and over again, tickled Alvin’s heart.
It was a small, young girl who hugged her and stroked her hair kindly, but her touch and kind words of comfort are as gentle as a mother comforting her son.
Alvin swallowed her breath and let her tremble slightly.
“Do you regret killing that person?”
“… No.”
Alvin answered Eris’ question without a moment’s thought.
She was a human being who deserved to die, and if she were alive, she would have harbored jealousy and inferiority feelings towards her sister to the end, obsessed with her and trying to bully her somehow.
“Wouldn’t that be all right?”
“… I don’t know.”
She did not understand why, even at her human age, she would not hesitate to bring such concerns to a girl much younger than herself.
Just as she felt Eris’ gentle hand stroking her hair, as her heart went, Alvin let go of her own troubles.
“Brother Alvin. Neither Erin, Mr. Hyun, nor the others, no one comes to hate her brother. Neither do I.”
Eris continued to comfort Elvin, who was shaken by her unstable mentality.
“I promise you too. I will always be on her brother’s side no matter what.”
“… Okay.”
Alvin closed her eyes and nodded her head.
Since her mother’s death, the weak side she had been holding back, invisible even to her sister, continued to flow as if an emotional dam had collapsed.
Although it was so funny to see her herself healing her heart while being comforted by her little child.
‘A little bit. Little bit more…’
She wanted to continue receiving this comfort, thought Alvin.
◆ ◆ ◆
Lily, who had been maintaining her condition as she continued to present nightmares to her vampires, noticed the two slowly walking towards her nursery.
“I’m here?”
“Okay.”
“…”
Lily stared at the two of them holding hands.
It was a common occurrence for Eris to follow Elvin well, holding her Elvin’s hand and following her around.
Lily noticed that something had changed in the subtle air current flowing between them.
‘Looks like something happened.’
But since he wasn’t inclined to delve into it, Lily decided not to bother with her.
Alvin’s shy attitude certainly bothered him.
More than that, she was more relieved that nothing had happened to Eris.
“Eris. Go inside now.”
“Yes.”
Eris entered her building without a word, as if she had done her part.
“Can you take care of these? It was easy to subdue them, but after all, finishing them was not enough on my own.”
“Okay.”
Elvin nodded and took out dozens of blade-shaped shadows.
The bodies of the vampires who were having nightmares ended their lives in vain by having their whole bodies hacked and their heads cut without even having time to feel pain in reality.
As dawn ended and the sun that signaled the beginning of morning began to shine little by little, the corpses of the vampires and the blood that flowed from them turned into powder, evaporated, and disappeared.
“What happened to Eris?”
“I was comforted a little. About the confusion about my identity.”
“…”
If anyone else had said it and heard it, she would have scolded her for what a fifteen-year-old she was, but to Lily and Alvin it meant something entirely different.
Lily, who had to make great efforts on herself and those around her to affirm her own existence, who had been transformed into her demon, could very well understand Alvin’s feelings.
“So? Are you okay now?”
“It’s embarrassing, but it’s okay now.”
Alvin stared at the rising sun, lost in her thoughts.
The first thing that comes to her mind is her sister’s face, she must be fighting somewhere.
‘I’m sure he’s doing well.’
While she couldn’t take care of herself properly, she had already grown up and grown up, Erin was no longer a child.
Although she pondered for a moment whether she should talk to Erin, Elvin realizes the existence of her villad she killed himself.
She immediately shook her head and decided not to speak.
It is foolish to make the existence of such a trashy man remind her sister’s memory.
“Eleanor and Erin. I hope you come back safely without getting hurt.”
“… Okay. I agree.”
Lily’s words filled with small wishes were affirmed by Alvin.
