35 [1-35] The savior of the vengeful prison (1/2)

Everyone ......!

Iris (Rene), who had gone out into the woods herself to hide the corpse behind her, froze when she saw something impossible.

There were three members of the Dragon's Whistle, who had been left behind on the other side of the country in the Earldom of Keighley.

Benedict, the warrior. A Kobold, he has a strong upper body covered in fur and a head like that of a dog. His helmet has a spike that holds his ears. He wears mithril armor and carries a greatsword with an axe-like tip. He is the reliable leader of a group of people with their own peculiarities.

Hugh, the Shieldhand (Tank). He always wears heavy armor, claiming it is to strengthen his body. He's small for a tank, but he's a very mobile tank, and has saved the party many times with his two-handed spike shield defense and precise smite. He is skilled in worldly affairs and is the party's negotiator.

Diana the Priestess. Although she is a Priestess, she is a skilled fighter, and can easily kick the shit out of a few mooks with her steel-plated boots. She wears a modified monk's robe made of woven mithril fibers and ...... carries not her usual tin cane, but a silver whip that looks like a combination of silver accessories that she wears all the time. He is a drunkard and a sluggard, but he is also a caring and compassionate person, and he treats Iris like a mother.

I thought I'd never see her again.

But here they are.

The three of them looked at Iris (Rene) with strange expressions of confusion and alarm.

Deanna quickly held her chest to stifle the pain.

”It's tingling ......!

Iris!　You used a spell that no one should ever use!

What magic did you use to kill how many people?　And that was just a few minutes ago!

”What ......?

Iris's heart skipped a beat. Like a child who's seen through a prank.

What the hell?　I'm not sure what to do.　I've been dragged all over the place thanks to you!　When did you become so stupid with your magic!

Wait a minute!　How did you find me?

--Yes, yes, first and foremost, we have to get this straight.

Iris (Rene) tried to calm her confusion and put her trust in what she had to do now.

Deanna peeled back the breast of her monk's robe to expose a bloody pattern.

It's called the Inquisitional Stigma. It can be used to find out if someone has been killed by an evil technique or power.

In addition, a drop of the blood of such a victim can be used as an exploration technique to hunt down ...... the underling to the ends of the earth.

≪The ”Pain Whip” and ”Deathcloud” are classified as curse magic. They are a series of techniques that distort the ideal state of the world, such as the state of life and the soul. It is not possible for ordinary people to use this magic. It cannot even be mastered without distorting one's own state of being by some means.

On the other hand, for Rene, who is undead, it is the most common and easiest magic to use. In fact, curse magic is considered by adventurers to be the exclusive domain of undead monsters.

I unearthed a body in the snow. ...... Those white bruises look just like the marks of a Pain Whip.

There's something in those woods too. You seem to have come out of it. What were you doing?

This time, Iris's blood froze.

After eradicating the Night Python's caravan, Iris had covered her tracks. She was so careful because she thought that the Dragon's Throat might be after her.

He didn't expect that they would find it, find out that Iris had done it, and use it as a material to track him down.

Iris (Renai) doesn't know about such magic. I didn't know that Deanna could do this.

I'm .......

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. I've never heard of this magic.

Deanna activates a magic I've never heard of.

The whole of Deanna's body emitted some kind of patterned blue-white light.

Next, a huge amount of magic power swirled up from Diana.

A swirling trail was drilled into the snow in the area.

The air around Deanna was nauseatingly clean. The air around Deanna is so pure and clean that it makes you want to throw up in your mouth and look away.

A power that can only be described as abnormal resides in Diana. This is what I'm talking about.

--This is ...... the power that will destroy me ......!

With her undead instincts, Iris (Rene) knew.

It's not a good idea.

What are you ......?　Are you really Iris?　Or did I not know the real Iris?

Diana, now a goddess, points her silver whip at Iris (Rene).

I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what to make of it. ......

You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

He pressed his thumb to his neck and made a ”decapitation” gesture.

It is only a gesture. However, following the movement of his finger, blood spurted out from Iris' neck.

”......!

The three people who were watching were astonished.

The head of Iris (Rene) was cut off and tumbled down from the top of the body. Her vision spun around, but Iris (Rene) grabbed her by the hair and caught her own head.

Your body is transforming. A little shorter, a little thinner. The blond hair that used to be wavy became shiny silver. I can't tell for sure, but my wisteria eyes must have turned silver.

Blood spurted back from the section of neck that had been cut off.

It flowed lazily, floating in the air, and formed the cursed red blade. An object that looks like a giant ruby carved into a sword shape.

Then, in an act of mischievousness, Rene drew a rose emblem on the hem of his robe with the leftover blood.

”Silver hair, silver eyes, and a ...... rose of fresh blood!

No way!　No way!

Rene can just possess and take over anyone.
