I Am a Low-Class Aristocrat of a Perishing Country

chapter 17



17 – 8 years ago, White Sisters (2)

“Souls subordinated? Never heard of it.”

I felt helpless again at the first time hearing about the situation.

‘Isn’t there too much behind the scenes that I don’t know about when I’m a suspect?’

At this point, it might be better to discard all existing original knowledge and remember only the big flow.

Although the progression of Was unkind, there are degrees to variables.

“I don’t know where to start”

There was a deep pensive expression on the face of Ilelp.

“If you don’t want to talk, I won’t bother digging it out.”

Because Elfie was so seriously worried, her curiosity just went into it. I don’t want to satisfy her curiosity by bringing out the painful parts of her.

“No. Now that it’s come this far, I think it would be good for Neffi to know too.”

Ir Elfi took a sip of her warm tea and began digging through her memories of her past.

“Two years after I made my debut. I was 18. I was a newcomer to the Knights of Nelfrugia at the time.”

Recruit and Iru Elfira… It’s a combination that’s hard to imagine. Then it would be said that Ir Elfi had taken over her position as captain of the knights in just 8 years of her life. It’ll actually be faster.

‘I realize again that existence itself is the crystallization of irrationality.’

“One day, a part of the knights, including me, was dispatched to a nearby kingdom for the protocol of a prince from a foreign country. At that time, permission was granted and we were able to take Mirren with us. Mirren was very happy. It was a good opportunity to have.”

Irelpi laughed heartily without realizing it. It must be thanks to her memories of happy times.

“The first time was good. We saw each other a lot and had fun. After finishing their schedule, the knights were waiting in a small village under the castle before returning home. Just in time, an invitation from the prince arrived.”

It was the moment when her complexion, like a lake without ripples, crumpled. The subtle living things slowly encroach on the room, giving you goosebumps.

“I couldn’t commit diplomatic rudeness, so I went to the royal castle first. Then I had a private meeting with the prince. I could tell what he wanted just by looking at my eyes. The guy saw me at the event and fell in love at first sight… He said that. .”

“That… That idiot…!”

Calling the emperor’s escort knight privately to seek affection. Are you saying that the prince of a country has an empty head?

Ill Elfi’s nature is kind, so he must have responded. Even though she was a matter that could criticize the Kingdom from the Empire side.

“I tried to leave, but I was forced to leave, and I wasted a lot of time, until at one point a magenta mist and black clouds rose in the distance.”

Upon noticing the anomaly, Ir Elfi defied all manners and procedures of hers and she ran down to the source of the ominous aura.

Even riding in her carriage, it was a distance that consumed half of the day. It was inevitable that it would take some time even if the IrLP did their best to run.

In the village they finally arrived at, an unseen sight unfolded.

“Kuh!?”

There was a ground of life destroyed by magenta energy and fire that covered the sky.

In the cracked air, disgusting shapes that seemed to clump together shadows came out endlessly. One conceived one, and two conceived four. The monstrous beasts, whose number was rapidly increased, encouraged a quarrel.

The phenomenon of chain reach.

In the worldview of Eldchain, an invisible chain is tightly wrapping the world.

Sometimes, whenever a chain is stretched, it is connected to a different dimension and a heteromorphic being comes over, and this is called the chain reach phenomenon.

An overflow of violence that deserves the name catastrophe. Of course, it was an emergency on a different scale.

“Vice-captain! Mirren! Answer me if everyone is nearby!”

Ill Elfie screaming until his throat is hoarse. No answer came. I guessed that it was because I was busy trying to prevent the chain reach phenomenon.

“Mirren! Please… Be safe, Mirren…!”

Unrecognizable black beings stood in front of Ir Elfi. If you were a normal person, it would be normal if you were already engulfed in energy and lost your mind.

Yes, it was the case of an ordinary person.

Facet! Facets!

Whether they stood in the way or were attacked, they were already out of the Ir Elf’s interest. Ir Elfi didn’t even pull out the sword, but made a sword paper and slaughtered all of them with more than seven prongs.

Even so, the eyes only searched for the existence of Mirren and the Knights.

“No one is alive, and the fighting group is not caught by the spirit…”

IrLP assumed the worst situation. Despair crept up in my heart, but I pushed it away with spirit. He slapped his cheek with both hands and swallowed the tears that were about to come out.

“Mirren! Vice-captain! Ugh…?”

After wandering around the village for a long time, the Ir-Elfi finally arrived at the central plaza. The central plaza she saw was the exact opposite of what she remembered.

Bondi Central Plaza is a place where lively people laugh and talk under the blue sky. It was a pleasant place to eat and see.

On the other hand, Ir Elfi’s lake-blue eyes contain the sword of hell.

‘Plains of corpses soaked in blood.’

The image of a beast biting a man who had already stopped breathing cried.

The gigantic human figure, continuing its meaningless act of destruction, burst the human intestines like stepping on an ant.

She saw something familiar in a world where her dignity was gone. She was a human wearing the uniform of the Nelf Lugia Knights. Ir Elfi hurriedly approached and grasped her pulse.

“It’s too late.”

Her chilled corpse bore the marks of a fierce battle. There is no doubt that he resisted with courage until the end.

Then Ir Elfi recognizes that her body has stopped breathing in her strange posture.

‘Attitude to embrace someone… I can’t believe it?!’

Ir Elfi carefully flipped her body over. In the place where her body was wrapped was a lovely girl. She proved that she was Mirren Youthy, with gray hair tinged with the moonlight like Ir Elfi.

“Mirren… Is alive!”

The outskirts of the village have already been circled. The last stop was the central plaza. Among them, the only two survivors are Mirren Justiha and Ir Elfi.

It is safe to say that the fact that an ordinary girl survived, overcoming warriors and strong men, was a miracle caused by the good will of her fellow knights.

“Mirren. Excuse me for a second.”

Elfi carefully picked Mirren up and laid her down on a bench near her. She shared her warmth by gently passing her hair to prevent anyone from waking up.

Mirren’s breathing was stable. Ir Elfi finally fell after checking it several times.

“I feel sorry for her sister. She hadn’t left Mirren alone… Had she been determined… All would have been okay… Mirren…”

Ir Elfi’s soft, small hand pointed to the hilt of his design sword. To annihilate the cursed purple sky and strange beings.

She had the intent to kill.

■■■■■■■!

There was no reason that the heteromorphic beings could not sense the extreme threat emanating from the Irelpi.

The shape of a giant, repeating meaningless destruction, came running. A playful leap as if he had discovered a fun toy.

Its size, like a mountain, turned the sky black in an instant.

“Holy Memory.”

She muttered resoundingly.

Kooung!

The shape of a giant completely pressed down on the spot where Illelfi and Mirren were. The intestines of countless corpses caught in the aftermath were pulverized along with the dust storm.

There were no figures of Ilefi and Mirren.

“My sister will be back soon. She’ll have to be nice and wait. Okay, Mirren?”

The two sisters were completely isolated within a blue and white cube.

The shape of a black giant sits on top of the cube, but it boasts the majesty of an iron wall that does not even incontinence.

Seureung-

The silvery white blade revealed its complete form from the scabbard and illuminated the demonic realm. The world of hungry ghosts full of grudges.

Wedge juice!

The sharp gong sound shook the whole area.

Ir Elfi just swung her sword quickly, but the giant’s shape that had crushed her cube was slaughtered vertically and fell in two pieces. The sword strike, which had no energy, had more than enough to reach even the low-lying clouds.

At this moment, heteromorphic beings without intellect regarded Ir Elfi as the object of her struggle for survival.

“I’m really going to go now, Mirren.”

To not regret any more. Hopefully my sister will remember this catastrophe as a midsummer dream.

She came completely out of her cube.

With her only sword, beasts mad at her slaughter are aiming for her.

I waited for the only remaining life to be bitten by a disaster that could not be distinguished from the front, back, left, and right.

‘Can I atone for my carelessness… Even if it takes a lifetime? No, let’s not question it.’

There was a blue aura like a comet in the sword of Illelpy.

‘I have to.’

■■■■■■!

Their screams were the signal flare.

The Elfie opened her silently closed eyes and turned into a white thunderbolt and rushed at her black group. Even though she doesn’t have any special skills, her sword has a domineering prayer to come to the world.

Cuck!

Illelfi’s sword scratched the ground. Her swordsman towed the earth like an erupting volcano. The remains of the earth and sand splashed like meteors tore the bodies of the demons to pieces.

Entrusting her body to her dust, Ir Elfi moved swiftly. She is like a flowing stream, sometimes violently like the waves of a great ocean with a typhoon.

When she was stabbed, the lives of her right line became blank, and when she was cut, one side of the enemy was annihilated with a slash sound.

Wedge juice! Wedge! Close by!

Irelfi didn’t look around. She only looked straight ahead and galloped, slicing through the beast’s form.

There was no one to see in her ruthless march. She continues to slash, stab, and slash, mercilessly advancing.

No matter how strong a single force is, a ruthless number of violence cannot win. It was a truth that had been handed down since ancient times.

That’s why people and animals form groups to rely on and protect each other. However, Ir Elfi was denying the truth as if showing off.

Irelp’s sword tip contains the power of punishment and reveals the qualities of an infant solitude without filtering. However, it never seemed violent.

Like a dancer who expresses a phoenix on stage, she seemed to be performing a splendid sword dance.

‘I will carry it for the rest of my life. As a knight, as a family.’

Illelpi’s sword dance was a memorial. It was a requiem to comfort her fellow knights who willingly took her life for the weak and the spirits who died unjustly.

The black powder that had a shape flew away, and a scream without intellect spread in pain. She was at the center of the white silver sword dance that soared and curved like her waterspout.

The flickering sword strike like a meteor shower did not find its place until after a meal.

‘Ah…’

As if it never happened, the blue sky revealed its hidden side. The warm sunlight, which had been hidden in the purple fog, gently embraced Irlp.

Chalbak. Slap

Eir Elfi stepped on the blood and slowly approached the cube of her Holy Memory. She showed off her majesty to the extent that her appearance, which did not disturb even a single breath, was noble.

“Mirren…”

I feel relaxed when I see Mirren still sleeping peacefully. Elfi carried Mirren on her back and leisurely left her royal road.

The soldiers of the kingdom who arrived late had to deal with the aftermath with a confused feeling without knowing anything.

This is the unrecorded legend of the white knight. It was the first military feat of the unofficial Irelpi Justiha.

“Crazy… Really crazy…”

Around the end of the story of Ilelp, I had no choice but to curse.

“Don’t you think of yourself as an unreasonable creature? How much do you train at that age!”

“I was born like this, what should I do?”

Irelpi asked in a non-trivial tone. Judging from his plain demeanor, it seemed that there was really no inspiration.

“No, it makes sense… What is this? Eighteen years old, battling a disaster alone? Ha, I really don’t know what to say.”

Although she is not recorded in her history, she was the first person to subdue her chain reach phenomenon with her single body. She most likely would have laughed if it wasn’t Ir Elfi who was speaking.

“Anyway… Mirren suffered from chain disease as an aftereffect. Then, she reported to His Majesty and negotiated. She secured the use of «Eld Chain».”

“Except for the exception of Eld Chain, chain disease is an incurable disease.”

Chain disease refers to maintaining a state just before the connection between the soul and body is severed.

The soul and body have the property of attracting each other, but Chain Disease is a disease that infinitely weakens that property. Mainly those who suffered from chain reach complained of chain disease.

Eldchain is the only way to cure such a chain disease.

‘The Emperor managed to allow it. It would have been a waste of time to use it for a chain soldier. Well, it must have been a cheap price compared to the loyalty of the Illelpi.’

“Thanks to that, Mirren borrowed the power of the Eldchain once.”

“What? Isn’t she already normal when she’s running around?”

Ir Elfi shook her head sadly.

“There seems to have been a mistake… Originally, the golden chain of the Eldchain was supposed to firmly fix the soul and body, but the soul was bound to the golden chain unexpectedly.”

“In other words, Mirren’s soul lies within a golden chain?”

“Yes, you got it right.”

“This… This…!”

For a moment, I almost threw a curse at Illelpi’s face. The target was, of course, not the IrLP.

‘Emperor you crazy bastard! Yeah, it was kind of strange.’

It is clear that the emperor did not intentionally interfere with Mirren’s treatment. It must have been an accidental misunderstanding or mistake. Up to that point, it is safe to say that it is an irresistible fate.

That’s why the original story became more brutal.

‘No matter how much your sister died, that ‘that’ Illelpy would destroy the empire? If Mirren’s chain was used on the empress, it would have been nothing more than treason!’

It was easy to guess how Mirren’s soul used the golden chain that slept.

‘I twisted the providence by sacrificing Mirren’s soul, which was separated from the chain. No matter how old chain is, it can’t bring the dead back to life!’

One of the Golden Chain’s powers is to grant equal rewards for equal consideration.

An eye for an eye, and a soul for a soul.

There was originally no way to offer a human soul. If only it hadn’t been for Mirren’s soul remaining in the golden chain!

Could it be because of her body shaking? Irelpi asked anxiously.

“Neffi? Why are you suddenly like that?”

“No. I just want Mirren to get her back to health soon.”

“That’s right. Thanks, Nefi.”

‘Whoa. Let’s calm down. It hasn’t even happened yet.’

I turned the subject back to Charles. Then, Ir Elfi also seriously expressed various opinions and reasoning came and went.

As we were in the midst of deciding our course of action, a knock sounded from outside.

Knock. Knock.

“Come in.”

After Ilelp’s permission was granted, the elderly butler politely handed over a letter.

“It’s His Majesty’s seal.”

“Yes, Marquis Alteon. A messenger came outside the mansion. His Majesty must have ordered the two of you to enter the palace…”

“Tell the messenger that we’re leaving soon. We’ll meet again after we’ve conquered Naypyidaw.”

“Okay. He said he was confined, so he recovered surprisingly quickly.”

We each changed into uniforms and uniforms and boarded the carriage sent by the emperor.

It was a deep night journey with a long time left until dawn.

I thought it was dark because the thick clouds covered the moon.
