Chapter 95 - Last Messages

That man, Wielth, the jerk stood in front of me.

He tell a story about why he betrayed me and I didn't care about it at all.

Why should I listen to him? It's better for him to die

And… I can't believe he caught me! More importantly, and quite irritating, I don't know how he did it?

I wanted to escape but that intention was destroyed instantly.

I mean, right now, I'm in a room with no doors or windows. The floor, ceiling, and all the walls in this room are made of gray stone. The only good thing about it was the fact that this room was not dark because there was a large Crystal Lamp as a light source.

And worse, I can't use my capabilities or Spells to do something.

Although my hands, body, and legs were not bound by anything, I was unable to move my body. 

And also I can't speak either.

I can only sit in this chair like a statue.

"Listen to me Eclaite!" The jerk scolds me.

He made me furious! I wanted to shout, "shut up!" but I couldn't speak. Therefore, I gave him a sharp gaze.

"Listen, what I'm going to say is awfully important. You have to hear it and remember it," he said.

He's absolutely annoying! But all right! I'll listen.

"You know you're One Tail Fox Beastkin and that's no ordinary Beastkin. You are a Divine Beast, you are important."

Yes, yes, I'm important, what else?

"A Divine Beast is a sacred existence. They were considered goddess envoys and often, they were worshiped by the Beastkins. Divine Beasts are also well-known in all corners of the world."

...That's new news for me. Was the Divine Beast is indeed famous and sacred?

"Knowing all of that, I'm sure you understand the consequences if you show people who you truly are, Right?"

Unfortunately no, I don't know.

"Hmm… with the lack of knowledge you have, clearly you do not understand it."

Wha!? Did you just call me stupid? Is that what you just did!? Jerk! Is that what you just did!?

"Listen and remember this. You are a Divine Beast, you are a rare race, and in fact, your blood brings miracles. Besides all of that, you're so beautiful, have a soft body, sweet scent, warm sheath, and you're so great in bed."

...

Asshole! I'm going to kill you! I'm definitely going to kill you! I'm going to tear your body apart and I'm going to make your meat as pig food! I'll make sure it becomes a reality!

"You are so precious. Now, imagine if a noble, a crazy Alchemist like Wilxes, or a powerful Adventurer with a strange hobby found you, what would happen?"

I don't know and I don't care you son of a bitch!

"They will treat you like I treat you and maybe, they will treat you much worse than me."

...that can't be true.

"Don't run away from reality. That is true and it will happen even though you don't want it."

...

"Therefore you must hide the fact that you are a Divine Beast. I have a Magic Item, Collar of Concealment. The collar will help you hide your tail using illusions and change your General Information display. I kept that Magic Item in a box, under the floor of my room. Take it and wear it."

...why are you being nice to me now?

"You will forever be my pet when you wear it."

Son of bitch! Give me back the little gratitude I gave you! You jerk! You are the worst!

"Next is Berserk. You can get out of control after inhaling the smell of monster blood. And when this happens, you'll have nine tails, eight that made of purple light. And this, you have to hide it too. Never show it to anyone else."

All right, that's good news. If you have a way out to solve this problem, I'll listen. And if you attempt to do anything weird again, I will curse you to have hundreds of itchy that can't be scratched!

"I learned of this — when you become berserk — a few years ago. And this is the reason why I hurt you."

yes, yes, I heard about it earlier. Now, tell me about this berserk state of mine, you jerk!

"In the past, I had thought about treating this berserk state of yours, I had a solution but I never used it. For you to maintain your consciousness while you're going berserk, you must obtain an Advance Skill, Steel Will. Lucky for you, I am a good father."

Hah! Good father? Don't be kidding! You're the worst father anyone can get!

"I have an Orb Skill that contains that one Advance Skill. You can find it stored with the Collar of Concealment."

…okay, that's good news.

"I've provided you advice and gifts. Now, I'll give you a warning."

Huh? Warning? What kind of warning?

"Someone is after for your life."

What!! How!?

"Wilxes Lancaster aka Alchemist X. That's the name and aliases of the person who's after your life."

Tell me jerk! Why is this guy named Wilxes after me!? Why!?

"Why is he after you? Of course because of the blood you have. He knows your blood is precious because, over the past few years, I've asked for his help in my experiments."

So he's your friend! I should have guessed it. The friend that the jerk has is another jerk!

"Be careful and don't get caught. That man who was now a woman was insane. She will do you worse than I do."

Wait a minute, the man who became a woman? Is she a femboy?

"You need to know, Wilxes has a face identical to yours."

Tell me what! A face similar to mine? You're positively confusing me now.

"How did that happen? My guess is and maybe, she drank or injected your blood into her body."

... So she's a pervert.

"I want you and Kimi to leave this kingdom and hide but, you're not going to do it right?"

If there's a dangerous person after me in Rishtonbell, of course, I'll leave this city. But, that I will do after I finish exploring all the Hidden Areas on the first floor of the Foltian Great Dungeon or after I have enough money to buy a Flying Ship.

But... I can find treasure somewhere else. This might be a good choice. I'm leaving Rishtonbell.

"You're so beautiful, you know that?"

Haa... I'm tired of hearing that and... Why are you being transparent now? Literally.

"I made a lot of mistakes, I hurt you, and I betrayed you, just like you said."

Yup! You're the worst! You are garbage! Now, I'm more interested in why you're being transparent? Are you dead?

"You renewed me, made me remember a promise I made."

What promise and answer my question jerk!

"If I apologize, will you forgive me?"

Never, ever.

"Yes, I suspect you won't forgive me."

Right, you don't deserve forgiveness.

"...live happily Eclaite. And please, please raise and take care of Kimi for me."

I'm going to raise Kimi for mama Haruka, not for you. And are you truly dead? You're starting to disappear now.

And for some reason, I become so sleepy.

I...

<If within 30 seconds there is no response given, this notification will be moved to the basic statistics screen.>

"Ugh... Noisy," I complained to the notification after notification that disturbed my peace.

A moment later.

"Ow ow ow!"

The intense pain forced me to open my eyes wide. I felt the unbearable pain for quite some time before I could breathe a sigh of relief.

Then.

"This is extremely strange."

Right now, I saw a ceiling made of wood. I no longer see the stone ceiling. I'm no longer in that closed room. Now, I'm in a simple bedroom.

And I no longer see the jerk! That is good news.

"Ow ow ow, why does my body feel so much pain and so stiff?" I asked then discovered that most of my body was wrapped in bandages.

"And why am I half-naked!?"

I wasn't wearing clothes at all and whoever this person was, they were so sinful because they didn't cover my chest with a blanket that was now covering my stomach!

I took a deep breath to calm down. Then, moving my stiff left arm while enduring the pain, I managed to cover my chest.

Lying in bed, I tried to remember what happened.

We returned to the eastern settlement after we finished exploring Desmond Cemetery within the Mist Forest Ebua.

I met Ellis and talked to her.

Kimi then goes missing and Ruciel is the kidnapper.

Chaos after chaos appeared and, "the jerk showed himself."

I fought and managed to kill the clone of the jerk.

Then, when I fought against the real jerk, I lost.

"I smelled blood and I lost control afterward."

And I don't know how I was inside that closed room. Then, the jerk said things to me.

After that, here I am.

All of these episodes were extremely strange.

"Now, who is the one who gave me this treatment? Where is this anyway?"

There were a lot of things I wanted to know but right now, I can only wait. I couldn't move my body and why did I feel such unbearable pain when I had level five Pain Resistance.

Is my condition extremely that horrible?

Yes, I'm in extremely bad shape and I'm not going to evolve in this place. And since I have Natural Vitality, I hope I recover quickly.

And... Are these Stat Points bonuses and Advance Skill I got from the jerk?

If yes, eugh! It's so disgusting!
