Taking admission for nothing (308)
Lesson 60. Family owner – 3 The head of the Prominence,
a family that has shared its destiny with the ancient top-tier Constellation of a prestigious family that has lasted for thousands of years―― Cruel Prominence coughed up blood as he felt something connected to his soul being ripped apart.
“Cheheuk—what is this?”
You can know it without having to contemplate the body.
Just now, the contract connecting him and the Constellation had been torn like a piece of paper.
As the contract gets older, the mind and body are polluted with the magic of the constellation called ‘Stigma’, and even the Prominence family, which are well-prepared for contamination, cannot completely prevent it.
Especially in the case of the family head, who had supported the family by cooperating with the Constellation for a long time―― I had to feel the pain of my body being twisted and my bones being shattered just by forcibly dissolving the contract.
Not only did the power he could produce immediately drop to less than half, but his soul was damaged to such an extent that he could never renew a contract with any Constellation again.
“Sigh—!”
While staggering, he first created a shield of flame to block Yumi’s attack, and then turned his gaze to see that the Constellation clone was also suffering in a similar way.
Then, the remaining answer is――.
The loss of the contract kept in the family note.
“Ulike Prominence! Did you decide to burn the whole family to the ground!”
He coughed up blood and cried out.
His daughter hasn’t moved a single step here, but only the family head’s lineage knows about Vigo’s existence.
Moreover, the only person who can open Vigo is the owner of the angry but unquenchable flame.
There is no way they could have found Vigo and even destroyed the contract inside it unless my daughter, who is crazy about men, joined hands with those thugs.
“Huu Yumi, are you okay?”
“Heh, heo, somehow… I should have just killed him.”
As if to prove his expectations, a woman wearing black tights appears next to Yumi Ban.
Ban Yu-mi felt guilty for not being able to kill the family head, who revealed the biggest gap, even though Aneri, who had borrowed her spark, successfully completed the mission.
However, Ban Yu-mi’s attack was not without meaning, because Cruel Prominence’s physical condition worsened even more because he forcibly drew strength to defend her attack while his body was twisted.
“Aagh!”
“miss!”
Some of the combatants of Prominence who were suffering behind even met death at the hands of Ulrike.
Even though he suffered from the loss of the contract, it was because Ulrike, who had been preparing for it ahead of others, was able to move quickly after somehow resolving it.
In the midst of the chaos, Ulrike cut off the heads of well over a dozen fighters and broke through the encirclement and joined Ban Yu-mi’s side.
While the members of the Rebel Force stared at Ulrike in a stupor, she calmly spoke to Aneri.
“Remember everything I did and tell that person. Please tell me that I was deceived and that I am on his side.”
“of course. Yu-won will be proud of you.”
Aneri’s reply to him was mixed with a fair amount of sarcasm, but Ulrike pretended to have heard it.
In the first place, she had no interest in what Aneri or the like thought of her.
Betraying the betrayal and giving up on taking Ban Yuyuan into her own hands, she had only one hope.
It is to get his attention somehow by getting to the place closest to him.
For that reason, it was nothing to sever the heads of the remnants of the famous family who had already betrayed him.
“Urlique… you foolish thing! He doesn’t care what happens to you!”
“It was the same with my father. If you were really there for me, you should have told me in advance.”
Ulrike, who had already let go of all his worries, spoke so calmly that it was frightening.
It was a mentality of a madman that ordinary people could not understand, but ironically, Cruel understood that such a judgment might be the best from her point of view.
He has also committed countless crazy things with the determination to raise Prominence to the top, so how can he pretend not to know the family customs that are only for his own purposes!
“I put you here because I wanted to make you pay for what you did, but it was my mistake. I should have put you away a little earlier.”
“You thought so too. Thank you, Father, for adding confidence to my judgment.”
As they listened to the conversation between the father and daughter passing by, the level force became confused.
The daughter stabs her father in the back to fulfill her greed, and the father regrets that he did not kill such a daughter beforehand. Is this really a woman?
The family relationship we knew so far…?
“Coming to think of it, I also have an older sister who is anxious to do something about her younger brother, so this kind of family relationship deserves it.”
“Really, I would have killed you if you hadn’t helped me this time…”
Ban Yu-mi, who gritted her teeth in response to Aneri’s whisper, caught her breath and stepped forward again.
The flame, which had faded as the power declined, bloomed red again and covered the blade of the sword.
I heard that the contract linking the family and the constellation had disappeared, perhaps because of my mood, but for some reason, I felt that my powers had been strengthened.
It was because the Constellation’s attempt to covet the undying flame in history and somehow make it on its own was completely frustrated, and the true body of the power finally returned perfectly, but Ban Yu-mi was unaware of it.
“You have to kill that clone first.”
Ulrike gripped the whip as he spoke in a sharp tone that oozes emotions that he didn’t even want to mix with you.
There were things like sharpened pieces of metal stuck to the whip——the moment she injected magic power, an aura mixed with sparks bloomed on each blade.
―Do you dare to oppose me without betraying me? Prominence this time is really messed up. After all, the only way to rebuild the family is to use the undying flame as a new host.
“Sounds like nothing. You can’t put your family down just by following your will. Cooperate with me, I will capture you alive if you wish. To me, the owner of a family that has been going on for thousands of years, not by authority! Also, all warriors of Prominence, annihilate my enemies!”
The family head threatened the Constellation’s clone and at the same time ordered the family members.
The contents of the order are to catch all enemies except Yumi Ban and kill them immediately.
Her own daughter, Ulrike, was no exception.
However–if there were half of them who were able to sprint without hesitation, the other half hesitated and hesitated.
They were the ones who confirmed the flames on Ban Yu-mi’s blade right after the contract was broken.
“The spark lost by Prominence…”
“It was a cruel incident. Those who walk the path of the sword were also members of Prominence.”
Although it is true that they have supported the family called Prominence together by following the command of the head of the family, those who support the group called Prominence to the end rather than supporting the lineage of the head of the family.
It is a constellation that has supported the Prominence family, but the reason why the constellation was twisted is because of the authority possessed by Ban Yumi.
It was only natural that some people hesitated now that they realized what was important.
Originally, those who Ban Yu-Won tried to persuade by using his sister were such people, and seeing the girl called the daughter of the family head betrayed right in front of their eyes fueled their hesitation.
The incident that eliminated a formidable competitor just 20 years ago and nearly destroyed the sect for the dirty reason that they wanted to seize power.
At that time, even if there were some victims, those who followed the family head thinking that it was better to unite under one powerful ruler and make the family rich were about to change their thoughts at the disappointing appearance of such family heads and their bloodlines.
Above all else, the loss of the contract was the biggest reason.
When he was ruled by a Constellation, he had no choice but to follow the head of the family who received the greatest support from that Constellation, but there was no need to do so now that he had lost the power of the Constellation anyway.
“Kuh these guys…!”
Noticing the agitation of the family members, Cruel Prominence gnashed his teeth.
I’d rather get rid of the enemy quickly and subdue Ban Yu-mi, and I’d be able to correct their agitation.
While the clones of himself and the Constellation were unable to move properly while holding Ban Yu-mi and Ulrike in check, the members of the Level Force were desperately buying time by revealing all the powers they had saved so far, so it was impossible.
Especially annoying was the woman in that embarrassing outfit, who supposedly destroyed the contract herself.
If the other members are in a hurry to block it, that woman was cutting off the heads of the Gasols one by one by applying a secret technique that completely hides her agile movements and magical powers.
“Yumiya, can you see them?”
It wasn’t just the family head who read the nursery rhyme of Prominence.
Kang Eun-young, who once belonged to the Knights as one of Prominence’s collaborators and is now the adoptive mother of the next head of Prominence, Seira Kuultro Prominence said in a calm voice amidst the busy battle.
“There are people who are hesitant about making you the owner of the next family. Now is the time to prove it.”
“Mom…”
“Can you?”
Instead of answering that, Yumi Ban added strength to the sword she was holding.
The prominence that rose above the blade of the sword began to absorb the flames around it.
―Yes, that! Must make it mine!
“Break limbs. Sacrifice a part of yourself, follower of eons!”
―You must save, you must!
The Constellation shouted desperately, divided her body into three pieces, and was sucked into each of the three orbs of flame that the householder was handling, strengthening them.
An artifact created by permanently sacrificing the power of a constellation.
The family lord put them together again and concentrated all their strength in the meantime.
“Listen to Prominence! Today, I will obtain that authority and make Prominence more perfect!”
“I am the next one! Kill the little goatee who only takes care of my own blood, and I become a prominence big bang! I’m better than that fucking old man, so you bastards follow me!”
Kang Eun-young touched my forehead at her daughter’s heart-rending speech.
You should have given me some elocution practice, too.
Fortunately, however, the members of Prominence focused on her sword, which ate up all the flames around her and added strength, rather than her words.
Thanks to that, the combatants who were attacking her party also lost the power to attack.
The head of the house shouted at the moment when the war situation, which was in a hurry, fell into a temporary lull.
“That’s why you’re so weak!”
The condensed flames of the constellation were shot out.
It shattered the whip that Ulrike let out in an instant and pierced the illusion created by Aneri, and it encountered the sword that Ban Yumi had thrown out―― destroying even that, it pierced Ban Yumi’s shoulder.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
“A kid who can’t even properly handle authority.”
The family head, who managed to destroy Yumi’s power even by borrowing the sacrifice of the Constellation, took a step forward with a happy smile.
The three evolved orbs collided fiercely in the air, preparing to fire the second shot.
“Yumiya!”
“It’s okay, I’m okay…”
Ban Yumi switched to holding the sword with her left arm instead of her weak right arm due to a puncture in her shoulder and gnashed her teeth, but the confidence in her voice disappeared a little, probably because she couldn’t stop the enemy even though she gathered all the flames around her.
“I can win.”
“You can’t win. The flame you hold is too feeble to rise to the position of head of household!”
“The added fireworks you ordered are here!”
The moment when Ban Yu-Won appeared in the air with such a voice.
The family lord shot out a spark to kill him first and foremost, but luckily this time Ulrike threw himself to block it.
Looking at Ulrike who suddenly sacrificed himself for himself, Ban Yoo-won thought, ‘I think I could have stopped it even if he wasn’t there,’ but he diligently ran to his sister and put a red-hot bead on her tattered shoulder.
“Fly—climb—— Jujak—this——”
“I really want to hit you—— I love you, bastard!”
The effect of the 3,000-depth prominence was certain.
The flames that bloomed from Ban Yumi’s feet instantly wrapped around her whole body and disappeared, and after that, Ban Yumi, who had completely recovered her state, appeared wearing a dress made of flames――what those who were a little familiar with her own powers would call ‘power armed’, and again gripped her sword with her right hand.
“And you’re dead, motherfucker.”
The family head looked at her daughter lying on the floor with expressionless eyes, destroyed all of her orbs, and fired the god flame she created in return.
It was wrapped around Ban Yu-mi’s sword, boosting her strength.
“ah.”
The housekeeper groaned briefly.
In the next moment, everything about him burned and disappeared leaving only ashes.
