32 Ten inquiries.

"If you want to get information from people, why don't you get it out of you first, Valerie?

I looked at a man who was once a master... and now turned into an abominable vendetta.

"My information?

"One first. It's a way to lift the spell put on Yulin."

"Yulin......? Yeah, you were an escaped subject, 372. I did apply the 'scent of darkness'."

Valerie's gaze is directed at Yulin.

"I don't care about that little girl?

"Answer me."

Encourage me.

"The research record for" The Aroma of Darkness "is all contained in 372 - the orb that waved the same number as his daughter. Take it if you need it."

Valerie directed the shelf to the right of the room.

"If I can get your [darkness], I won't spare any other research"

Those eyes shimmer.

Two years ago he was still an avid man in his quest for magic, but he didn't have a sharp eye so far.

You mean you've gained even more passion in the last two years?

Or...?

"[Darkness] - It is the ultimate location of the Magic Guide. What I've been exploring for over forty years and still don't get. Something that hasn't arrived yet. My biggest goal..."

Valerie tells it hot.

"Come on, tell me, Chrome. How did you get [Darkness]?

"Wait. One more question for me."

His knowledge is valuable.

We need to get as much information as we can before we finish our revenge.

"What is [Darkness] - in the first place, what?

I still don't fully understand my powers.

Little did I know about the [subordinate] association until I met Shea.

Maybe there's something else I don't know yet.

Originally, [the darkness] would be its primary source, because there are whimsical places.

It doesn't matter if I ask you a question.

It would be nice to ask Valerie about this place.

My revenge is still going on.

Some of them are Euno with [light] power.

If I don't hone my powers more...

"... Hmm"

Valerie gets smaller.

"I'm not completely figuring it out with me. I'm still working on it. We'll talk on that premise."

With a forethought, Valerie starts talking.

"Once upon a time, there was a different civilization in this world."

Remseria.

It's a super ancient prehistoric civilized world that flourished millions of years ago.

They had much more advanced magic technology than they currently do, and they were much more prosperous than they are today.

but it is doomed overnight by a mysterious disaster called 'catastrophe'.

The magic we use has been unearthed and arranged by that prehistoric civilization.

The magic of prehistoric civilization as it is is is mostly too advanced to be used.

It drops output and uses it with a weakening adjustment for modern people.

I also knew Valerie had been studying that civilization.

I only know about rumours, and some of them are deeply rooted in the theory that prehistoric civilization itself is just like legends and fairytales.

Valerie was pursuing her research with enthusiasm.

Well, there was a heavy battle with the Demon King's Army at the time, so I couldn't quite focus on research.

"Not long before I set myself apart from you - I discovered an ancient site. That's where it says," The Chain of Darkness. "

"Ancient ruins..."

"In other words, it was the ancients who developed the 'Chain of Darkness' spell. They knew much more about [darkness] and [light] than we did."

According to Valerie's description...

The curse 'Chain of Darkness' first creates [darkness] from the person chosen for sacrifice.

[Light] appears in response to its [Darkness].

By imparting the [light] that appears to the subject, the person acquires immense power.

Simply put, that's all.

The point is, I was chosen to sacrifice in order to give [light] power to the subject, the brave Euno with his sacred attributes.

It was also calculated that Irina showed the sight of visiting Yuno the day before.

It was to stir up my anger and sorrow.

The greater such 'negative emotions', the stronger [darkness] the sacrifice produces.

The stronger [darkness] is born, the stronger [light] is born in response.

"The reason I chose you for sacrifice was because I thought that being a lover or best friend was easy and appropriate to use as a trigger to create negative emotions."

Valerie said.

"Above all, your spirit was the purest in the party. It's the result of my magical psychometric beforehand. The more pure and sober the heart, the easier it is to create a deep [darkness] when it is trampled -"

"Why did I lose my magic or my body fade?

"All the magic of those chosen as' sacrifices' is sucked away and becomes a source of energy for [darkness]. My body faded is a side effect of losing all my magic at once."

Answer my question, Valerie.

"Behind this room is a device that pulls all the magic out of the subject. Using it, I simply tried to recreate the 'Chain of Darkness' - but not at all. And just like you, the subject's physical abilities were significantly diminished."

And, Valerie.

"Well, for the record. After all, it's not the size of magic, it's the size of the sacrifice's 'negative emotions'."

Even smiled, Valerie continued her pale explanation.

Don't you have any feelings or emotions for me, even if I was a disciple?

... I'm sure there isn't.

For this guy, I was only worth the experimental material.

"I understood about The Chain of Darkness. So what's [dark] or [light] in the first place?

My question moved to the core.

Honestly, anger and hatred boil up in the back of my chest just listening.

Two years ago, it brings back vivid memories of being used and discarded like tools.

Still, the first thing we need to do is gather information.
