Chapter 255: A Moon That Wishes To Become A Star

A Moon That Wishes To Become A Star

Step, step

A woman walked along a snow-covered country road, navigating through falling snow.

Beep, beep

Whats happening?

It was Vener, exhaling a warm breath to thaw her frozen hands.

You lost contact with the Paladin and the Saintess?

Vener, who had embarked on a journey to punish Frey, frowned at the urgent radio message from the dispatched Hero Party.

Is this info reliable? Could the Saintess have forgotten to use the radio, or the Paladin turned it off?

While it was common for the Paladin and the pure Saintess, Ferloche, to lose communication, the message hinted at a more serious issue.

You mean the signal is completely gone?

Even if their magical communication devices had been turned off, the signal should still be traceable. Strangely, it had disappeared entirely.

I get it. Im almost there; Ill check it myself.

Frowning, Vener disconnected the signal and quickened her pace, stopping shortly after.

So

Soon, with a tense expression, Vener reached for the sword hanging at her belt.

Whats your business here?

Someone stood in her way in the middle of a deserted path at night, holding a sword.

Isnt it obvious?

The mysterious figure in the darkness revealed herself.

Its to ensure my dear disciple rests undisturbed.

It turned out to be Isolet herself.

Are you defying the world? Vener questioned, her expression turning cold as she stared at Isolet.

Just for those insignificant memories?

Isolet responded with a chilling smile, as cold as the weather.

For me, those memories are everything.

Youll regret this. When I return, youll lose everything, and the Imperial family and the church will chase after

I dont care.

Isolet interrupted Veners long speech, pointing the sword toward her.

Ive given up everything and made an oath to him.

What?

Also, you see

As Isolet spoke, Veners pupils widened at her words.

Return? What does that mean?

Isolet, glaring at Vener for assaulting her disciple, emanated an overwhelming sword aura.

Youll never return to the Hero Party.

That sword aura?

It resembled the legendary Sword Saints sword aura from a thousand years ago.

If you dont want to die from a single blow, draw your sword.

Recognizing her strength, Vener sweated bullets and quietly drew her sword.

Claaaaang!

Their swords clashed the next moment.

Serena that brat

Amidst the massive shockwave, Isolet remembered Serena, who had hinted that Vener would come. Soon, she thought.

Shes indeed a smart child.

For the sake of sweet Frey, Serena and Isolet planned to remove Vener from the Hero Party.

But it seems the place behind them wasnt the lodging Serena mentioned but just an old inn?

Yet, even that was part of Serenas cunning plan.

Shaaa

Oh.

In the ruins of the Western Continent, far from the Sunrise Empire in the Southern Continent, a makeshift tent stood.

This is impressive

There, Kania manipulated a surge of dark mana that had suddenly entered her body.

Its much stronger than the dark mana I used before At least ten times stronger

Compared to the mana she used before, it had a different level of concentration and strength.

But Im still at the level of a high-ranking warlock?

She thought she had grown stronger, but that wasnt the case.

Because she remained at the level of a high-ranking warlock, Kania needed to surpass the top level of the high-ranking barrier to manifest the new dark mana throughout her body.

Even if she broke through that barrier, reaching this power level wouldnt be possible for her.

In truth, she questioned whether this was genuine dark mana. Though she labeled it as such, Kania considered it something close to the origin.

Well, it wont hurt if I have it for now.

After rolling the black sphere on her finger for a while, Kania absorbed it and murmured.

With this, I can make Young Master even happier.

While black magic typically caused pain and cursed the target, it could also produce beneficial effects if used skillfully.

Kania was confident in manipulating dark mana.

Alright, then

Lying on the bed inside the tent, Kania quietly picked up a nearby lemon candy and licked it carefully.

Euuuu

Despite its extreme sourness, Kania licked it as if familiar with the taste.

Hes been quite active lately.

Well, lets call it a night for today.

Huh?

Im just a little tired.

..

After Frey stepped back from her and said so, she looked at him silently.

To be honest.

Frey calmly walked toward the inn, leaving her behind.

You are, actually, not that plain-looking.

He stopped walking and spoke in a low voice, his eyes meeting hers.

Just keep that in mind.

Having witnessed the illusion a moment ago and fearing that she might leave him, the villainized Frey finally managed to reveal his true feelings with much difficulty after relying on the power of alcohol.

Step, step

After delivering his impactful statement, Frey silently entered the mansion.

..

Sigh.

Serena, who had been watching Frey with excitement, exhaled warmly and mumbled.

I cant hold back any longer.

Hufff

Entering the inn before Serena, I just wanted to lay down on the bed in the room, and as the incoming fatigue creased my expression, I let out a deep sigh.

Why are there no more vacant rooms?

I had asked the innkeeper, still groggy and confused after waking up, but he said there were no vacant rooms.

For a moment, I considered chasing the Sun God out, lying inside my room, but the cold made me think otherwise, so I just let her be.

I guess theres no other way.

With things as they were, I had no choice but to sleep in Serenas room.

She could sleep in her bed, and I could sleep on the floor.

Besides, shes my fiance, so it shouldnt matter, right?

Ugh.

While contemplating this, I suddenly groaned, feeling as if my head had cleared up.

Lost in thought, I emitted a soft groan, feeling a sudden clarity in my head.

How many times is this now?

Throughout today, my mind would clear up and then cloud over again.

What was this Villainization in my system window that kept popping up?

I seem to have regained my senses temporarily, but it would be quite troublesome if this continued.

Hidden Quest

Quest Content: Remove Serenas Curse of Familial Subordination

< New Mission! >

Contemplating this, I decided to check the system notification that I had missed due to the recent attack by the Demon God.

Huh?

My eyes widened instantly.

Remove Serenas Curse of Familial Subordination

Mission Content: Spend the night with Serena

Reward: Progress 80% -> 90%

.!?

Staring at the system window for a while, I was taken aback by the straightforward yet shocking content.

Creak

As the door opened and Serena stepped into the room, I instinctively closed the system window and spoke.

Uh, hey Serena

But something felt off.

Frey

Serena?

Her eyes seemed unfocused.

Click!

Huh? Huh?

Watching her with a bewildered expression, I suddenly widened my eyes as the door clicked shut. Our eyes met as she crossed the doorway.

Hehe

W-wait a minute? Serena?

With a flushed face, Serena gracefully ascended onto the bed with gentle movements.

Ive always wished to become a Star ever since long ago.

What?

Eventually, Serena delicately stroked the purity ring on my left ring finger, which had been shining white until then, and took my hand in her right hand.

Ssk

..!

Undoing her dress in one swift motion, she revealed her naked body, dressed only in thin undergarments, and whispered.

Please, turn my family name into Starlight.

As I gazed into her eyes, resembling moonlight, my mind began to go blank.

Will you give it to me?

It seemed that today would be the day my ring would turn black.
