SIDE Valerie

Along the border between the Kingdom of Larva and the Principality of Liju - behind the deep forest - there was the institute.

"Ha, help me... please forgive me..."

"Hih, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

"You bastard! You're not human...... ghhhhhh!

What's happening indoors is a hell of a picture of a snort cry...

Subjects under constant pain, severe pain.

Those who, in despair, are on the verge of a mental breakdown, continue to be humbled.

It was all due to an experiment of magic.

"Nice... your pain and despair will deepen my research"

Before the suffering subjects, he tells them to behave.

He's a forty tangled middle-aged man with a harsh vibe for sharp eyes.

What I'm wearing is a red purple robe.

What you're holding is a magic wand.

Now hailed as the best wizard in the world, he is also the sage Valerie, the staff member of the Brave Party who debated the Demon King Vilgarodomus.

"Magic guidance is the art of stepping into the darkness of a man's heart. To make the darkness better..."

Valerie giggles.

Seeing their painful expressions didn't break my heart.

I didn't feel anything.

Valerie just observes.

Calm down.

Be cool.

We will identify reactions and collect valuable data.

That pile will further hone the surgical formula he is studying.

"Good, more suffering... more grief... more despair"

My chest hits.

What Valerie is exploring is people's negative emotions.

Something that is fundamental and rooted in the spell.

If I could manipulate that freely, a new spell ceremony should have been completed.

"Heh heh heh... HUHAHAHA!

Valerie sounded a laugh of joy.

"The spell I once imposed on my disciple was a technique that I could call my greatest masterpiece of the time. But it's not enough! There's got to be a more intense, vicious, extremely vicious, and most powerful procedure out there somewhere. Yes, the art of gaining more power than God or the Demon King."

Perhaps beyond the curse 'Chain of Darkness' practiced two years ago, the ultimate surgical ceremony.

When it's done - Valerie may be able to gain power over people and beyond even the Demon King.

You reach a realm that no wizard has ever reached in ancient times.

In front of us, each subject over thirty had the groaning of an amputee.

I guess that's just about the limit.

"You're all disposed of."

Valerie sighed.

"If we don't find another good living subject,"

Neighboring villages have already almost hunted.

There will be no more mesmerizing human beings who are likely to be good subjects.

We could go a little farther to town.

And when I thought,

"Dear Valerie, I have a report for you."

Several men came into the room.

They are all Valerie's escorts.

"Gu, gu... this is..."

The soldiers vomited on the spot when they saw the swarms of bodies scattered on the floor - the subjects who had just died.

"If you throw up, do it roughly. Don't pollute the lab."

Valerie frowns.

"And if you'll excuse me... Ugh..."

Still mocking the disgusting escorts.

What's a report?

Valerie urged.

"I'm busy with research. Keep it short."

"Yes... Actually, one of the subjects seems to have escaped"

"What number?

"Ha, it's 372."

"372 is the daughter of an example."

I rang my nose.

"I've already taken some data. Miss it."

"Don't you have to chase me?

"The curse imposed on her is powerful. Leaving you alone will kill you... by demons."

Valerie had already lost interest in the report.

More than that, look for new subjects.

"Exploring the Ultimate Curse - the day I get there is near... close...!

There was a distorted grin in the mouth of the wise man.

A few days after the Virgin disappeared from before the people...

In Larva the country is in a lot of fuss.

Irina, the world's most popular Virgin, disappeared neglectfully.

In fact, she turned into an ugly warcraft and still fights the remnants of the Demon King's Army.

But you can't even tell people that.

Some seem to deduce the case by linking it to the recent murder of Liot.

It just won't be easy for them to get to me.

If you don't know where they work, it's hard to know about me.

From what I've looked into in the last two years, I'm officially supposed to have died fighting the Demon King's Army.

I guess one of the Eunos reported that to the country.

Well, that's more convenient for me.

It's easier to act without knowing who you are when you're supposed to be dead.

After that, me and Shea used horses and fled the scene.

He deliberately chose a zone where vicious monsters were prolific and chose a route that was difficult to follow.

I have carefully erased my footprints and so far there is no sign of a chase.

Of course, it's forbidden to be alarmed.

As for Irina's audio orb, it hadn't been published yet.

Shea keeps it.

As this speaks of the work of all of Euno, it is necessary to determine the timing of the release.

My next move is near the border between the Kingdom of Larva and the Principality of Liju.

I'm talking about the sage Valerie's lab there.

Valerie doesn't reside there herself, but you think she's often in the lab?

That night, we were going through the woods.

Ugly, lush forests have poor prospects.

Where the monsters may appear from, or the bandits may strike.

"Don't leave me more than ten meters."

I'll tell Shea today.

She is endowed with Dark Skills [Disconnect] and [Accelerate].

Even leading warriors will have difficulty beating Shea today.

Nevertheless, if you are struck unintentionally, it doesn't necessarily matter how much you don't take unconsciousness with her.

It is best to be in an absolutely safe area that is within my skill range.

"Yes, I won't leave you no matter what"

Shea grabs my robe's sleeve.

Try to tangle your own arm around my dead tree-like arm, and I'll lean over.

... No, I don't have to stick around that much.

Maybe you're trying to console me by mistake for thinking I'm heartbroken when you set me apart from Irina?

Shea, you don't have to stick around.

I tried to tell her. At that time,

"Kyahhhh...!

I heard a faint scream on my face.

From the front.

"Dear Chrome, I will see!

Shea screamed.

"Okay. But if it's dangerous, get back here right away."

"Understood."

Shea, who told him, ran out leaving a red trajectory.

Fast moving skills [Acceleration].
