[Elesia imdiately flicks away the black key]
[At the sa ti, she realizes you are rapidly approaching her]
"What's happening!?"
[Elesia's feet are immobilized]
[Looking at the man who is quickly closing in on her, she still possesses the power to resist]
[Tens of thousands of magecraft spells at her disposal]
[Even the blood of this town is at her command, and the ti is the full moon, which gives her the greatest advantage]
[The timing, the location, and the people are all in her favor]
[Even those two princess sisters have been defeated by her]
[Why is she like this?]
"Guh...!"
Elesia's expression freezes.
The mont her body is under your gaze, she becos as stiff as a lifeless fetus.
[She does not understand what is happening]
[There is nothing about this priest that poses a threat to her, and she has not had her power diminished by anything]
[Yet, she is confused]
[She does not understand why she is trembling]
[Fear seeps from the depths of her eyes, as if trying to escape from your gaze]
"You see nothing but life. At this level, I can easily do the sa. If you're just a half-baked fool, don't be so arrogant as to speak of life and death!"
"—Don't look at with those eyes!"
[Elesia's voice is filled with fear]
[Just as you said before]
[Humans instinctively fear the unknown, and she, living in the present, is also bound by this rule]
"I said! Don't look at with those eyes!"
[Elesia imdiately summons thunder]
[But it can no longer stop you]
[The tip of the golden magic sword does not pierce Elesia's flesh, but instead cuts the threads attached to her]
[It feels like a blade piercing flesh]
[A sensation that rges with the vibrant, living blood and flesh]
[Not a drop of blood is shed]
[Yet it gives Elesia a soul-wrenching pain; she hurriedly unleashes magecraft to create distance between you]
"Ah—ah ah ah—!"
[Elesia lets out a wailing scream]
[A part of her soul is gone]
[As if it had never existed from the start]
[In fear, she tries to restore it]
[But the process of revival and resurrection is painfully slow, almost static and despairing. She can only choose to create a new part to replace it, and she must not be cut down by that bastard again!]
"M-Mo...ran...!"
[Elesia looks up at you]
[Her crimson eyes overflow with hatred]
"There's no need to be so angry, right? Aren't you also used to taking others' lives? I'm just returning the favor. How does it feel? This feeling of being slowly stripped of the privileges of a reincarnator."
Moran's gaze is remarkably calm.
It is a cold look directed at the evil and heretical.
Only Roa has had her soul's vitality taken away.
Its surface consciousness has largely covered Elesia.
This is an effect that Moran could not achieve with the pseudo-Mystic Eyes of Death Perception before she was fully transford into Roa.
Only after Roa's consciousness completely surfaced could he target Roa to this extent.
[There's no need to say more about what follows]
[Elesia, fearing your fierce Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and your golden magic sword]
[Has been deliberately keeping her distance]
[Attacking with adjusted output magecraft]
[Elesia alternates between thousands of spells, trying to find a secret technique that your body has no resistance against]
[Though the theory is sound]
[Putting it into practice is quite difficult]
[Elesia has no ti to use spells one by one; your offensive is far more ferocious and swift than she anticipated]
[In the process of filtering spells]
[Her body is shattered multiple tis by the Breath of the Planet]
Boom—!!
[A massive explosion spreads]
[Only her ankles remain after the blast]
[If Elesia hadn't prepared an auto-casting spell, she would have been cut down by you again before her body could recover]
[At that point, it would truly be her mont of demise]
"No, I can't keep fighting him!"
[Elesia realizes that the priest before her is a venomous beast]
[If she continues to battle]
[She cannot ensure the integrity of her soul]
[This will definitely affect her reincarnation, which is the last thing Roa's soul wants to see]
Boom—!!
A huge cloud of dust rises from the ground.
She crawls in the deep pit, just allowing her body to recover.
"I must... get away from that monster—!!"
Elesia croaks out hoarse words.
But it won't be that easy.
"I won't let you escape.
No matter how you run, it's useless. Now that I think about it, the ti is almost up. Look up at the sky! Roa, that will be the last sight you see!"
Moran stands outside the pit, looking down.
He gazes at the vampire in a girl's form, his cold eyes devoid of any pity or sympathy.
[You slowly raise your hand as if pulling down the heavens]
[Dots of starlight flicker in the sky, aligned in a straight line]
[If one looks closely, they will realize]
[These are not stars at all]
[This is a reflective prism made of magecraft]
[—Spread out smoothly in the stratosphere, gathering sunlight like a blazing angelic wheel]
[You have defeated the twenty-fifth ancestor]
[Just as you crafted the principle of the seventh ancestor, Einnashe, into a spell, you have also crafted the principle of the twenty-fifth into a grand magecraft]
"Return to the dust... Akasha's snake.
Principle Idea Blood, technique number twenty-five, Be'ze! Here, I sever the neck of sin—The Star of Calvaria!"
Moran chants like a blessing of holy sound.
He opens his arms facing the twinkling stars above.
"Guh, gah—!"
[Elesia shows a look of shock]
[Just a glance reveals the terrifying magical power in the sky]
[Run, run, run, run, escape—!]
[She tries to activate a teleportation spell to flee the scene, but finds her magic circuit rebelling against her]
[If the magic circuit won't work]
[Then she will use her legs to escape from that man's sight]
"Ah ah ah—Elesia—get away—!!"
The vampire lets out a roar of disgust.
Having lost her soul's vitality after the threads were severed, she now realizes that Elesia has not given up.
Her core consciousness is still fighting.
She cannot activate spells or escape the scene; it's that damned girl obstructing her from behind.
Even at this point, she is still being hindered.
[Just as you said at the beginning, she sees hell]
[She has no power to stop it]
[If it weren't for the precious bracelet you gifted her, she would have likely committed even more unforgivable acts]
[She cannot even kill herself]
[Watching the vampire gather countless blood]
[She realizes she is a machine of malicious intent, a juicer that only needs to collect blood]
[Faced with this painfully tragic reality]
[The relentless despair nearly crushes her, her soul weeping as it no longer wants to gaze into hell]
[But there is no way out]
[She has already decided to face her sins]
[Even if she is swallowed by the waves of darkness, she still rembers the warmth she felt that night]
[Knowing she is unforgivable]
[That she is the ugliest creature in this world]
[Even if everyone despises her and wishes for her death, she feels no problem with it; it is only natural]
[—But she cannot do it]
[There is a man who still believes in her, who continues to inspire her to fight against the ugly and cruel vampire]
[Now, he is still fighting]
[Battling fiercely on the battlefield for himself]
[Believing in himself more than anyone else]
"What a misguided trust this is."
[A voice echoes from the depths of consciousness]
[Elesia seems to be divided into light and dark sides, possessing two different personalities in this space]
[That dark side is not Roa]
[It is sothing she inherently possesses]
[Elesia knows she does not deserve kindness]
[Not ending her life the mont she realized her true nature, her self-preservation is a refusal to save others]
[This is the most diocre form of selfish evil]
[This is her true face]
"We are such ugly creatures."
[The dark side of Elesia continues to speak]
[anwhile, the pain from the physical wounds inflicted by the outside world makes her grit her teeth and endure]
[The vampire nad Roa is rely a catalyst]
[She was born with an exceptional body]
[One day, she would inevitably clash with others, and Roa rely brought this conflict to light earlier]
[Regardless, she is destined to commit many sins]
[Destined to be reviled by the world]
"Guh—ah—!!"
Elesia groans in pain...
The darkness within her, witnessing this scene, still feels confusion and bewildernt.
[Why?]
[Why go to such lengths?]
[Elesia, you can never be saved by anyone]
[From the mont you were born in the womb, you were chosen by Roa as a sacrifice]
[The miracle that could save you, the reason for you to live, even the value of being loved—]
[None of these exist, do they?]
[Indeed, as the dark side of herself said, almost none of the above exist. She does not deserve the man's affection, nor does she deserve his trust]
[But, she still saw sothing precious]
[Through the precious bracelet gifted by the man, during the vampire's analysis, she saw mories through resonance]
[The man's life is always repeating loss]
[He gained too much happiness, and thus lost too much happiness]
[Bearing countless thunderbolts for his loved ones and people, even if his body is shattered, he still walks forward on this thorny path]
[Repeatedly witnessing what he loves turn to ashes]
[The most sincere wish to protect his beloved]
[Alone in a cold castle for thousands of years, even his consciousness falling into madness and self-destruction]
[Gain, lose, gain, lose]
[As if fallen into an eternal hell of pain, he is trapped in a cycle alone, unable to even cry out]
[His pride would not allow it]
[He will fight endlessly for happiness, fighting for those who believe in him until the end of eternity]
[He is soone who should reclaim his own life, soone who deserves happiness more]
[Yet, such a person wished for her]
[Such a strong person chose soone like her]
[Then—I must also show the value of his choice]
[Only this is the aning left for herself, the girl nad Elesia finally rembered]
[Finally, a dazzling starlight pierces the darkness]
"Ahhhh—!!"
The girl reaches out with all her might toward that light.
Her body is fragile, her heart is broken.
Yet, she still stands up.
The life given to her is not for lanting the past.
But for fighting on, no matter how many tis she falls, as long as she holds hope.
Just like that man.
[The darkness in the consciousness space is pushed back by the light]
[A radiance more sacred than anything fills the space, driving all the darkness to the corners]
[Finally, even the side in the darkness]
[Watches the girl reaching out desperately toward the light]
[She falls silent for a mont]
[In the boundless radiance, the girl hears the final words from her dark side]
["You... hypocrite..."]
[The girl has no intention of refuting, for indeed, the dark side of herself is not wrong]
[But, she has decided to awaken]
[This outco will not change]
The girl's struggle manifests in reality.
The vampire widens her eyes in fear, looking up at the sky.
It's coming down, soon.
A torrent of magical energy forms a curtain of aurora, descending.
Like the rope of a guillotine being severed, it falls from the stratosphere at the speed of light.
There is no chance for the vampire to evade.
Although she finally suppressed the girl's consciousness, the guillotine's range far exceeds the town.
The ti to evade is almost zero.
Even at her peak, she would not be confident of escaping the guillotine's lock.
"Ah, ah, ahhh—!!"
The scorching wall of light descends upon the vampire.
She is burned, letting out a agonizing scream.
At this mont, she realizes there is no escape.
