Chapter 774,
Chapter 190. Maliette Hester’s Legend (4)
When Maliette said that, the scenery suddenly changed.
September 7, 1391.
Five months after Maliette revealed the curse to Honka, Jean and Valeria looked around again.
I heard the sight of buildings burning and collapsing all over and someone’s screaming. The smell of blood and ashes was everywhere.
‘…a battlefield. Are they the Wraith?’
‘It seems to be the time when the ancestors and Ziple are fighting.’
Kwaaang-!
Suddenly, an explosion occurred in front of the two, revealing Maliette’s figure.
She had just blocked the Wraith’s magic with a shield.
“I didn’t expect you to show up here, Maliette Heister. How did you get in?”
Despite being surrounded by five wraiths, Maliette did not lose her composure. Rather, she smiled and replied:
“How did you come in?”
The Wraiths did not express themselves, but were overcome with bewilderment.
The location of the battlefield where they are currently fighting is Draka.
One of the most wanted people of Jiple appeared in Lutero, the capital of the magic federation, though it was outskirts.
“Doesn’t I know that your captain and head of household are absent right now? I know the answer. Is that so? That means Draka has no power to stop me right now. So let’s not strain each other and pass by quietly. I just need to find one person and go.”
In addition, there was a secret dungeon outside Drakka.
Malliet had come to rescue the rock-hister imprisoned there.
“You guys don’t want unnecessary loss of life either, don’t you? I think I ate a room today and just go back. Anyway, whenever we fight our family, you guys win almost every time.”
“Yes, considering your original inaction, that might be better, but Rock Hester isn’t a very important person. But, we know what’s going on with you. Kai’an’s blood. I don’t know how you’re enduring that pain, but the curse the captain put on you is definitely valid.”
If you get caught in Kai’an’s blood, usually the maximum is to endure for a month at most. It’s already been two years since Maliette.
Maliette didn’t answer, just shrugged.
“Yeah, if you want to die that much, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
“You keep bluffing. If it were you before, the five of us should have died. Hit!”
After the leader’s words fell, the Wraiths started attacking again.
The corpses of the jiple mages scattered everywhere were torn apart by their magical power.
Because of the curse, Maliette was experiencing a painful sensation, as if her blood was boiling hot.
But even in the midst of that, he wielded his staff and cut off the magic of his enemies.
Even though there were no family heads and ghost captains, it was impossible to return alive if the battle lasted just a bit longer.
This place was the headquarters of Ziffle, and reinforcements would flow in endlessly.
Because of this, Maliette decided to throw a gambler.
Even if the curse is further amplified, he made the decision to raise his mana and clear it up at once.
Heister Arcane Magic 2nd Succession
Golden Spear
Maliet finished chanting, and suddenly a huge cloud of golden magic formed in the sky.
Thousands of small golden spears and one huge golden spear poured out of it.
Both Jin and Valeria were speechless for a moment at the power of the magic.
Golden spears pouring down like rain tore up the shield of the Wraith in an instant.
The largest spear was embedded in the center of the battlefield, endlessly radiating magic waves.
The Wraiths who tried to refill the shield had no choice but to scatter to avoid the magic wave, and Maliette at the same time spread other elemental magic to intercept them one by one.
“Kahak…!”
Maliette spat out a handful of blood. I felt the energy of the curse rapidly amplifying.
Two people survived in the Wraith, but both suffered damage to the extent that combat was impossible.
Instead of finishing them off, Maliette moved forward and opened the log window.
Above the record window, the location of the dungeon where Lock Hester was imprisoned was being described.
Breaking the floor of one of the collapsed buildings revealed the entrance to the dungeon.
“Who is it! help me!”
“Please save me!”
The prisoners listened to the vibrations and noise of the fighting outside all the time they were locked underground.
Several of the guards aimed their swords and staffs, but Maliette ignored them. They rushed out of the prison, not daring to confront Maliette.
“rock! where are you?”
cried Maliette, breaking down the prison doors one by one.
After being released from prison, they gave a short thank you to Maliette and then hurriedly ran away.
I couldn’t hear Rock’s answer, so I used the record magic again. There were many records scattered nearby, so it took some time for the results to come out.
Logs appearing five minutes later indicated that the rock heater was already dead. Maliette bit her lower lip and bowed her head.
Rock was her lover.
However, the time to collect the lover’s body was not allowed.
The noise was spreading from the ground again.
“It’s a dungeon! Pour magic into the prison!”
The entire ceiling of the prison collapsed due to the magic of Ziple’s reinforcements. Maliette frantically searched for Rock’s body as she opened the shield, but most of the prison was already engulfed in magical flames.
The moment you start to escape, feeling a burning sensation in your stomach.
Maliette heard a voice. It was the voice of a child crying out for help.
When I opened the prison door from which there was a noise, there was a child who looked to be about eight years old. Seeing the color of the child’s hair, she was taken aback for a moment, but Maliette held out her hand to the child.
“Let’s go out together.”
Maliette took the child and went straight outside the prison to sweep through Ziffle’s reinforcements.
After that, it took two days to successfully escape and finally reach the hiding place. As soon as I reached the hiding place, my body, which had become as heavy as a thousand pounds, collapsed to the floor.
When she regained consciousness, the first thing she saw was a child staring down at her with a dagger in her trembling hand. It was a dagger in the hiding place.
“…Are you going to stab me with that knife?”
The child didn’t answer and gritted his teeth.
“I knew you were Ziffle’s child from the moment I got him. Perhaps you are the illegitimate children of the Lord, or you were imprisoned there for seeing what you were not supposed to see.”
Maliette noticed that the child was holding the knife, thinking that if she killed her, she might be able to return to her family.
“Put down your sword. You are innocent yet. give me a chance to enjoy life You live a human life, not a consumable or puppet of Zipple.”
The child hesitated, but eventually dug into Maliette’s arms with the dagger in hand.
Maliette simply swung her hand away from the child’s dagger without using magic.
The child fell and cried.
“You couldn’t stab me, so you are still innocent. let’s put it like that As soon as my body recovers, I will prepare a foothold for living, so let’s forget all the memories and start anew.”
Maliette hates Ziffle more than anyone else.
However, she did not want to harbor hatred even for children who had never participated in a fierce family war.
A week later, when he was able to move, Malliet took the child to the land of the beasts and gave him a disguise.
They gave me a new origin and made an identification card.
Now, the child would live his life as a commoner named Iello, not as Elgia Ziple.
“I have lost many family members and lovers to Zipple in my life. Nevertheless, I saved you because, if you look closely, you and I are in the same situation. Even though you were born with Zipple, you were abandoned by Zipple and lost your family.”
Yielo burst into tears and was hugged by Maliette.
“You get out of the cycle of hate and live your life. You don’t have another brother, so you don’t have to take revenge. There should be more children like you in my family and in your family. A kid who lives his life instead of fighting.”
“Maliette… How do I repay this favor?”
“Living well in the future is the only way to return the favor to me. And someday, when you are in a situation where you can reach out to someone, you just have to do it like I did. You grow up bright and strong, Elo.”
Maliette does not know what kind of life Yielo lived after that.
However, until Malliet’s scheduled death, Ziffle never came to the hideout where he hid with Yiello.
After that, all of Maliette’s life that Jean and Valeria saw was like that.
She saved a lot of Heisters from Zipple and saved a lot of people. Even so, he did not look like a person with heavy shoulders.
He didn’t look lonely, he didn’t get frustrated with sadness, he didn’t turn into a monster drunk with hatred.
He just seemed like a person enjoying life. She considered each and every one of her actions to be of value, and that was the image of a person who followed her own convictions, not her duty or mission.
Even the death curse of Kai’an’s blood did not darken her.
Winter, December 20, 1393.
Malliet finally completed a golem for her future generations at the lore site of Honka Island.
“Fortunately, I was able to finish it in time. I decided to give you a name when the golem is finished. Come to think of it, I think it would be better for my successor to name you.”
[All right. Master.]
“The lore ground in your hometown is dangerous, but if you have the skills, you will never die. Besides, it is designed so that if you pass all of them, you can grow the tester. If there’s someone ignoring the traps and taking the side road, check their hair and magical powers. If it’s red and has a perfect magic body, you’re a successor, so you’ll have to take an additional test.”
[I will keep this in mind. In the case of a shortcut user zip. All secret trap self-destruct devices trigger level 1 hostility applied.]
“Right. Then I have to go…. It’s a pity that I couldn’t make you more memories with me.”
[I’m sorry too. But, master, you must go. The place he chose as the final place of his life.]
Maliette, whose curse reached its peak, was not as gigantic as before. The skeleton was still great, but it had a bony impression. However, there was still a playful vitality in her eyes.
Maliette turned her head into the air. It was where Jin and Valeria were standing.
“Descendants, this is the last thing I, Maliette Heister, will tell you.”
Those who carry only fate on their shoulders cannot change the world.
Even if you change it, something will go wrong. Become a monster like so many of my family and colleagues have been.
After saying that, Maliette took a hard breath.
“You don’t have to become a monster just because you fight against the monster Cheonji family called Zipple. Fight when you have to fight, love when you have to love. Sometimes you have to forgive the enemy’s lineage. Don’t push your life into a dreary and desolate place just because you have to fulfill your duty and mission. Live brightly and courageously.”
Maliette smiled as she stared into the void for a while, with Jean and Valeria as observers.
Then he went outside and said goodbye to Honka.
[…Are you going?]
“Yes, I think I will die in four or five hours. I was worried about whether I should spend my last days comfortably by your side, but… I have to go anyway. to Rock.”
[Goodbye.]
“Yes, farewell. Even if I die, you won’t leave here, so except for the uncomfortable feeling, I feel relieved.”
Honka didn’t answer and gave Maliette a hug. Like the first time she hugged her. Tears flowed as I touched her dry body.
[See you someday.]
“Yes, Honka. Ah, until you make up your mind to leave the island, keep a close eye on the successors who come to visit you. I’m saying that you should follow the conditions I left behind correctly, but it will be a little bit of fun.”
Maliette headed to the outskirts of Draka, where she couldn’t recover Rock’s body.
Malliet’s record was ending like that.
