Volume 11, 21: Memory Illusion(2)
Translator : Zhaernon
After everything around me collapsed, I felt that I was falling. But at this time, I couldn't even spread my wings, probably because in Geraldine's impression, I was just an ordinary person, so I didn't have the attribute of flight at this time.
And at the same time, my mental strength didn't exceed the mental strength of the person who created this illusion, so naturally I couldn't rewrite the contents of the illusion.
It seems that in the future, if I want to find a way to learn some skills to get rid of the illusion, I can't just keep being too passive with whatever others tell me to look at.
Poof!
Suddenly, I felt like I landed on top of some kind of cushion, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that I actually landed right on top of a couch, and when I looked around more closely, it was actually the hall of the Campbell's house that I just remembered seeing.
"Interesting, this design should be very profitable to make into a haunted house, right?"
I said to myself.
But I'm sure the creator of the illusion can hear me too, I'm under her mental control after all.
"I have to compliment you."
A figure came down the stairs, and upon closer inspection, wasn't that the demon I had seen earlier in the illusion?
Why do I call it demon instead of Ala?
Because she was a true purebred demon, with demonic wings and two horns, an existence that was truly opposed to the angels in the records, but because there were so many demonic races, the demon itself was a bit thin.
But in all honesty, Ala were also a very powerful race of demons, combining most of the abilities of the demon race, charming humans, powerful destructive power, powerful dark magic, and of course, the weakness, like most demons, fearing light magic.
The demon in front of me is a female demon, wearing revealing black armor, I really don't know what use such armor has other than to cover up critical areas. Well, the amount of nasty milk is justice.
Actually, that's all this armor is good for, isn't it?
The long black hair was a bit messy in thought, I don't know if it was intentional or something else. But this kind of hairstyle makes her look more wild, well sort of a way to reflect the identity.
And worthy of being a girl who also lives off of her charm ability, this girl's appearance is also extremely delicate, except for those red eyes that look rather oozing.
Of course, this is her illusion, so maybe what I saw was also an illusion, and I don't know how she really looks like.
"Usually people would be very panicked when something like this happens, but you're so calm that you're scary."
The demon smiled at me, then walked over to me and looked at me and said.
"Calm? It's more like getting used to it than being calm."
"Habit..."
The other side was stunned, and the smile on her face grew even stronger.
"Looks like you've been through a lot too... But... I didn't think any other demons would come to earth... Did you also come to make yourself human?"
"Become human?"
"Ah, it seems you didn't know that."
The demon looked very happy and smiled, then said.
"Well, that's why I came to earth, because I heard about a special human that has appeared on earth that can absorb special abilities from other people, demons, angels and other creatures and make her human."
"Sally?"
"Aah, it seems you know her well~"
"Wait, you're talking about Sally, when did you see her? I've only met her once recently, and according to her age, she would have been very young or unborn when you met Geraldine, right?"
"What are you talking about?"
The demon said strangely.
"Sally is a being that is reborn every ten years, while emptying her body of all her attributes ah. And of course the memories."
"Wait! Is she not human?"
"It's human right... Well, it's just like a special existence chosen by God."
"..."
My head hurts a little, what's going on here?
Sally Warren, Yybril's cousin and the Church's hope. Such a young girl is actually reborn once every ten years? Is she a phoenix? And what is her power.. exactly?
But the information about her was provided by the church, so her formality is still attested.
But...
"So every ten years you guys have someone from the Abyss or the Celestial Realm come straight to Sally and have her turn you into regular people?"
"Well, it was basically a contest of who had good timing. I was still too late, Sally had already purged another demon by the time I got there, and when I tried to leave, the guys' guys actually sealed me away in the name of justice and another angel who became human without success."
"Sealed inside Geraldine's body?"
"It wasn't originally, originally it was just sealed inside a necklace. But I used what little magic I had left to charm one of the cleaners who cleaned the collection room to bring me out to sell. Maybe I was really lucky too, but I didn't realize that the necklace that sealed me had only been put out for sale for less than an hour, but Geraldine bought me back, so I made a deal with her again."
"Move the seal from the necklace to inside her body?"
"Yes, relatively I would have protected her life. Originally my wish was just to become a normal human and experience the life of a normal human. Although I'm not able to move freely in our current state, it's an experience."
"I say you demons are really free."
I laughed bitterly after hearing that explanation from her.
"A lot of humans fight to the death to get more power, but you guys give up your power for the sake of enjoying an ordinary life, the world is really full of surprises. And I think you've experienced it inside her body, even if you become a human, you won't live an easy life."
"...Hey."
The demon sighed as well.
"That's right... Well, it's just that it's a lot less dangerous than the Abyss, though."
"That's not necessarily true... this guy is going to be going after the dragon with us next."
historical
"Dragons?"
For the first time, I saw panic on the demon's face, and it seemed she was indeed surprised.
"Are you humans idle? Trouble with dragons? Are you all tired of living?"
"Not really, it's just profitable,"
I said holding out my thumb, index and middle finger, and rubbing it.
"And I'm not a human up there in my exact definition, but a holy angel of the dead, my name is Lin Fir, please enlighten the demon lady."
"Um.. well, I guess you're considered a more rational person, so you shouldn't be doing anything excessive. My name is Renata Arnold, please enlighten me more."
