Chapter 626
「Weena Rhyn, if it's the current you now, you should be able to defeat that great magic beast that has been incompletely resurrected」
「I won't do that!」
「No matter how many times it is sealed, there is no telling when someone will plan to resurrect it like this time. It must be defeated here and now」
「I won't!」
Just like a child, Weena Rhyn covered her face with her hands and shook her head in disapproval. Seeing her like that, Rhyn seemed to have decided to change her approach
「I, too, want to be liberated... I'm tired of being sealed at the bottom of that dark lake」
「No! I said I won't!」
「Weena Rhyn...」
「Why would you say something like that!?... I've been trying so hard for us to be together again, as Weena, and Rhyn!」
Weena Rhyn, who was now acting as if she had become a child, screamed with lots of tears streaming down her face. Well, maybe meeting with Rhyn, her twin sister, had returned her emotions to those of a child.
「I don't care about the people of this country! I don't care what happens to them! I just want to get you back!」
「That's not possible」
「Don't say it's not possible! I've been preparing for the day when I can separate Rhyn from that magic beast! I've also opened the Academy, which is one of Rhyn's dreams! I've also set up an environment to make it easy for spirits to move around the academy in case you're still in your spirit form! I'm even donating to an orphanage like Rhyn used to do, and protected the country to get them to recognize Rhyn!」
Fran backed away slightly at her cry, which even showed a glimpse of madness. Her tail was wagging from side to side and her ears flattened. It seemed that she was under a lot of pressure.
「Weena Rhyn...」
Rhyn's face contorted in sadness. I guess it couldn't be helped.
As far as I could tell, Weena Rhyn had dedicated her life to Rhyn. Everything she had done was for Rhyn. It might not be an exaggeration to say that even the kindness she had shown to others was for Rhyn's sake.
But the one Rhyn said she wanted to be liberated from was actually Weena Rhyn.
「I just... want to be together with Rhyn again...」
「If you only separated me from that great magic beast, it would only regain its full strength. If that happens, it could even destroy the whole world」
「Like I care! I don't want a world without you in it...」
This was bad. I could see Weena Rhyn's expression getting more and more negative, it was already as if she was talking without thinking at all. No, her suppressed emotions might have made her lose her self-control already.
「Separate her...? Maybe I can still do it now...? If I use the Sacrament of the Evil God, I might be able to rip off the power of the Evil God...? Can I bring Rhyn back with that...? I don't care what would happen to the world...」
Weena Rhyn's thoughts seemed to have been overwhelmed by negativity.
Seeing her like that, Rhyn's shoulders slumped sadly.
「Actually, I wished for Weena Rhyn to defeat the great magic beast without using the Sacrament of the Evil God...」
「...!」
Responding sensitively to Rhyn's murmur, Weena Rhyn shook her head multiple times, biting her lip so hard that it even bled.
「For now, let's start with the biggest problem, shall we?」
「The biggest problem?」
Fran muttered puzzled. There were too many problems, to begin with, and I was not even sure which one Rhyn was talking about.
「Do you know that we could use the Sacrament of the Evil God in many ways? Whether it's used to defeat or seal that great magic beast」
「But...」
「Do you really think we have to sacrifice Romio or Zelos Reed to achieve that?」
「Yes」
「Then we'll need their help. Come here」
Rhyn waved her hand lightly to the side, and a black light swirled next to her. From the looks of it, it resembled a dimension gate.
Immediately after, a figure came out of it. Fran then gave a small shout of joy when she saw the figure.
「Sierra! So, you're safe」
「Yeah, somehow」
Sierra and Zelos Reed stayed behind to stall Zelyse before, but it seemed that they were almost killed by his powerful magic stone weapon.
But then Rhyn saved them.
Immediately after being entangled in the tentacles that dragged them into the water, his teleport skill seemed to have allowed them to escape to a small island somewhere in the lake.
「I've just been resting there...」
So Rhyn summoned them and now they were here.
「Now I know that Sierra and Zelos Reed were safe. But why did you call them here?」
「Because this is their wish. Besides, it also serves my purpose」
What they wished for? Wasn't Sierra and Zelos Reed's goal to get revenge on Zelyse?
「Weena Rhyn. That ritual, we'll join in it」
「Huh? Who are you?」
Weena Rhyn didn't know about Sierra? No, they lived in different towns. It wouldn't be strange if they didn't know each other, wouldn't it?
「E-Ranked adventurer, Sierra. But my real name is Romio, and this sword is my partner. This is Zelos Reed that has become an Intelligence Weapon」
「...Eh?」
It seemed that even Weena Rhyn could not immediately understand the meaning of his words. Surprisingly, Weena Rhyn didn't seem to know anything about Romio and Zelyse from that timeline.
Then, Rhyn gave a brief explanation to her. Weena Rhyn looked at him with suspicion, but she must have decided to believe them because of Rhyn's words.
「I-Is that so...? Certainly, they do look alike」
The shock of witnessing an existence that had crossed time seemed to have calmed her mind. She seemed to have slightly snapped out of her negative thoughts.
A rational light then returned to Weena Rhyn's eyes.
She looked at Romio and Sierra, comparing their faces.
「Now I understand. Then, Romio that has grown up, what do you want?」
「I won't let that Romio or Zelos Reed get killed by the Sacrament of Evil God. That's what I want」
Sierra declared while looking at his other self.
「Y-you're Romio, you said..!?」
「Yup, it's me oji-chan」
「Ha, hahah... am I dreaming...?」
「The one carrying the burden of using the Sacrament of the Evil God will die. Then why don't you also channel that burden to me and this sword?」
「I see! Now that we have two Romios, though I don't know if I should call them that――and Zelos Reed and Zelos Reed in his sword form」
「Yes. The effect of the Sacraments of the Evil God will be doubled but the burden will be shared between me, that Zelos Reed, and this sword Zelos Reed」
In other words, no one would die even after using the Sacrament of the Evil God.
