Alright, Let’s Turn Slaves Into Adventurers

Chapter 42 Inheritance

Azu and Kazusa waited for a while for the skeleton to start talking.

Kazusa’s breathing became a bit rough.

Is it because the wound is painful? Wet the cloth she had and put it on Kazusa’s forehead.

In this place where there is no clock, you cannot tell the time.

After a long and short time, the skeleton’s consciousness returned here.

“Okay. It was a very good story. I stayed here all along under the pretext of keeping the promise I made with the king of ashes… Times do change.”

The skeleton looked at the Apostle of the King of Creation.

The girl was still there.

“Is the long stagnation over? But only the king of ashes… It just repeats itself over and over again.”

The skeleton looked at Az.

In the eyes of the skeleton, the girl in front of her was only slightly better than a normal warrior.

Neither strength, nor magical power, nor skill.

I don’t think this girl can fit into such a big game.

No matter how you get caught up in it, you will die in vain….

While the skeleton was thinking for a while, the finger of the Apostle of the King of Creation wriggled.

“… ?”

The apostle raised his upper body and looked at the skeleton.

“Kiyoni? Many… You were thin.”

“I can’t believe it. I haven’t been able to move for a long time….”

“I didn’t survive. I only woke up for a moment because my soul was near.”

With that said, the apostle of the King of Creation stood up.

The skeleton called Kiyo froze in an alarming situation.

She has a human form, but she is more beautiful than a human.

However, it gradually began to change into particles of light from the edge of its body.

“I just woke up…. I don’t have time.”

The apostle of the King of Creation looked at his hand.

Her body, which had been clear just before, had become a little transparent.

Azu felt that the girl in front of her was gradually disappearing from this world.

“I heard about it too. The king of ashes… It’s not comfortable even if you die. He’s still a stubborn guy. Is that why you got the timing right?”

The apostle of the King of Creation looked at Azu.

“Az.”

“… Yes!”

“I am the apostle of the King of Creation. The fourth and final apostle, Justitia. I acted as the King’s representative, but I am also the loser of that fight.”

Justitia spoke in a dignified voice.

Even though its presence has faded, I can feel the power of a frozen skeleton behind it, or even more.

How terrifying was the apostle of the sun god that such a person had to defeat in exchange for his life.

The apostle of the sun god only saw the undead, and he was dealt with by the king of ash, not Az. Right now, Az can’t even imagine her power yet.

“You have come this far regardless of your destiny. She is an ordinary human without any powers, but she has overcome difficulties and survived. It cannot be said that only the strong can bring about change in the times.”

Eustitia held Az’s chin with her right hand and looked into her eyes.

Az could not take her eyes off her beautiful iridescent eyes.

Even though she seemed emotionless, I could feel her will deep within her eyes.

“Do you know? The Ash King was a weak human like you. At first, he trembled even in front of a weak monster.”

“He? I can’t believe it.”

Kiyo finally came to his senses.

“It’s true. I knew him before he became king.”

“I see. Is it because the King of Ashes fell for you because you’ve known him for a long time?”

“Okay. However, as you know, the king of ashes fought with his own will for what he thought was justice. Ah, what are you going to do?”

“I… I want to be strong. To protect my precious things.”

“I see. Actually, I wanted to train you, but… There’s not much time left. I will give you this.”

Az and Justitia looked at each other from a close distance.

Eustitia passed it on to Azu through her eyes.

Arzu was something unrecognizable.

I also glimpsed Eustitia’s memories, but she soon disappeared.

There is no pain. She didn’t even feel uncomfortable.

But only her faint senses stimulated Azu.

That also disappeared over time.

“It has no meaning to you right now, but someday it will have meaning when you overcome your fate.”

That must have been the last remaining force.

Justitia’s body turned into light and collapsed.

“My King. Was I helpful… ?”

The beautiful girl has disappeared. Her right hand holding Az’s chin.

“It’s gone…. They said spirits were nearby.”

Az was dazed for a moment, then she collapsed as she relaxed.

Kazusa tried to tug at them even in her hazy consciousness, but they both collapsed.

“… What did you get? It doesn’t seem like much has changed. Well, it doesn’t matter.”

Kiyo hugged the two girls and moved to another room in the temple.

There were simple bedding there.

She laid the girls down and covered them with blankets.

After Kazusa checked her condition, she took a few dried herbs from a jar of herbs on her shelf and shoved them into her mouth.

Kazusa choked up, but Kiyo didn’t care.

“Be patient. The fever will also go down.”

Kiyo drank water as Kazusa managed to swallow her herb.

Then Kazusa fell asleep.

“Me, why am I doing this?”

He said so, but Kiyo’s expression, relieved of his long-standing assignment, looked bright even though only his bones were visible.

“Where is the Ash King? Shall we go to his castle?”
