Chapter 243: Her Story-5

-Do you want to have your revenge? (???)

The man offers the grimoire a sweet offer.

-I...I want to kill them all! Let me kill them! (Grimoire)

The man has a satisfying look on his face while staring at the grimoire.

-Let me help you then. (???)

A ray of energy comes out of the man's palm and hits right at the grimoire.

-I will give you the strength to do it. (???)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In front of the gate of the peaceful village, people are talking to each other happily.

-It seems that we have a bountiful harvest this season. (Villager A)

The other person laughs and replies.

-Haha, it all thanks to the goddess that we can have a harvest like this. (Villager B)

At that moment, two people suddenly spot something abnormal near the entrance of the village. It's a dark shadow in the shape of a human.

-Huh? (Villager A)

The terrible aura comes from the human shape and makes all the villagers tremble.

-R... (Villager B)

Because of the heavy pressure, the villagers can't move and stand there like stones.

-Hurgh... (Villager A)

The shadow stares at them intensely.

-Ku...Ku! (Grimoire)

An eerie laugh could be heard from human shape shadow.

-Human...You must atone for your sins! (Grimoire)

Many black liquids drop from the back of the shadow. They slowly take the shape of many monsters from goblin, orc and even dragons. They are all common monsters that people can often see from the fairy tale.

-Let my story devour you! (Grimoire)

On that day, the scream continuously comes out of the village. Not a single villager manages to stay alive after that incident.

*In the capital of a country.

Two guards are yawning in the middle of their duty.

-We have to guard even when today is the wedding day between the second prince and second daughter of duke Grimm. (Guard A)

-Well, you know that is a political marriage, right? (Guard B)

-Ye. (Guard A)

One guard scratches his head while showing an annoying face.

-Though, I don't really like the second duke daughter at all. (Guard A)

-Ah, yes. That one is famous for being arrogant and looking down on the commoner. (Guard B)

-Yeah, she is a typical noble that you can find anywhere. (Guard A)

-Since the duke spoiled that girl so much, turn her into that state. I wish the first daughter would be the queen, though. (Guard A)

-The first daughter of the duke? Who is she? (Guard B)

-Hah? How come you never hear about her? (Guard A)

-I still can't remember it. (Guard B)

-Hah, her name is Elizabeth Von Grimm. She is a genius that you can only find 1 in 1000 years. (Guard A)

-You mean "Lady Perfect." I only have known her nickname so far, but I have never heard of her real name. (Guard B)

The guard looks at the sky and sighs.

-If only she didn't disappear so suddenly, she would become a good queen and lead this country. (Guard A)

The guard continues.

-She treats the commoner as her equal, and she really cares about her citizen. (Guard A)

-...Do you know why she disappeared? (Guard B)

-How could I know? (Guard A)

The guard takes out a small bottle from his pocket.

-You're going to drink wine again? We are in the middle of duty, you know. The higher-up will punish you if you drink right now. (Guard A)

-Do not be a scaredy-cat, bro. It's fine as long as they don't notice. (Guard B)

The guard opens that bottle and takes a sip from it.

-Hah! (Guard A)

-Hey, give me some too! (Guard B)

-Tchhh! (Guard A)

The guard hands over the bottle to his friend.

-There are a few rumours that miss Elizabeth disappeared because she ran away. I don't know if it's true or not. (Guard A)

-Why does she run away from the duke's house? As a duke's daughter, she must have all the privileges in this life, right? Like the other day, I heard the second daughter bought a few stores using her "pocket money." (Guard B)

-The duke pampered the second daughter because she was born between the duke and the duchess. On the other hand, the first daughter was born between the duke and his mistress. (Guard A)

-Ahhh! That's why! (Guard B)

The other guard drinks another sip from the bottle and stares at the sky.

-Arghh... (Guard B)

He drops the bottle and freezes while staring at the sky.

-Bro, you drop my booze. (Guard A)

The guard bends down to pick up the bottle.

-Huh? Why did the sky suddenly become dark? (Guard A)

The surroundings become dark as if the day suddenly change into night. The guard feels weird about this situation. He follows his friend and stares at the sky.

-What the hell is that? (Guard A)

What he found was a cloud made from thousands of body parts of the human.

-Hey, hey! (Guard A)

Many black things start coming from behind the shadow and head toward the ground.

-Bro, we need to run away! (Guard A)

The guard shakes his friend and urges him to run away. But he soon notices a black monster in the form of a sparrow has already made a hole in his friend's head.

-Goddess! (Guard A)

The guard knows he can't run since the other black monster approaches him soon.

-Please save me... (Guard A)

The guard mutters his last word before becoming a lifeless corpse. All the corpses that were left behind by the black monster's armies moved. They flew toward the human part cloud and combined into one.

The slaughter of the grimoire keeps going until the entire country disappears from the map without leaving a single trace behind.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A shadow appears in an abandoned city. The shadow speaks with a smile.

-It seems to be a success. (???)

The identity of the shadow is no one, but the man gave the grimoire the power to revenge.

-Finally, I can have my hand on a "Corrupted Grimoire." (???)

The abandoned city in front of him used to be the biggest city in the country. However, after the attack of the grimoire, this place is no different from the dead land.

-It's here. (???)

The man arrived at the centre of the city where the human part cloud was situated.

-Open for me. (???)

The man makes a hole in the meat cloud and walks inside. A terrible voice comes from inside of the cloud.

-Youuuuuuu! (Grimoire)

He finds a dark grimoire in the middle of this meat cloud.

-You develop well. It's time to harvest now. (???)

-Gragh! (Grimoire)

The grimoire shouts and summons the black monsters to attack the man.

-You are stupid like your master. You want to use my power to attack me. (???)

The man waves his hand and makes all the monsters disappear.

-That woman declines my offer to help me create the grimoire. (???)

The man laughs while walking toward the grimoire.

-Therefore, I punish her by turning her into a horrible monster. (???)

A sinister smile forms on the man's face.

-Do you know what is even better? All those people that she wanted to protect killed her. (???)

A dark chain comes out of the man's hand and binds the grimoire.

-You are so beautiful now, grimoire. You are now the perfect tool for me to make the contract with those demonesses. (???)

The man laughs hysterically while holding the grimoire in his hand.

-You should be proud you have some uses for me. Since you will work as my slave from now. (???)

Light comes out of the man's palm and wraps around the grimoire.

-I order you to become my slave under my name. (???)

The man whispers his name to the grimoire.

-Solomon. (???)
