Chapter 569: Wish To Die

Chapter 569: Wish To Die

The energies of my blessings seemed to interact with the pink energy around the crystal which let me touch it, when I tried to identify what it was all I saw were question marks.

The only thing of information I could see was the item's quality or rating, it was a Mythic item.

Also, my mind started to hurt a lot, like I was seeing something it shouldn't, so I stopped the skill 1 second later.

"(Let me go...)"

I heard a voice filled with despair and sadness coming from the crystal, a virtue of death filling my head as fragments of random images appear in my mind.

I saw a beautiful woman dressed beautifully with a golden headband, hugging an orange-skinned man with a crown on his head.

I saw the same woman in a bed with two children in her arms and a big smile on her face.

I saw the same woman using magic fighting monsters alongside an army.

I saw the same woman in a miasma-filled valley with hundreds of soldiers beside her.

I saw the same woman staring at a giant heart made of stone pulsing before a bright glow took place blocking the view.

I see the woman in a dark place with screams of fear and pain echoing from every corner.

I see the same woman open her eyes and realize that she is inside something like black mist, but it is still possible to see outside a destroyed city and an old man without one of his arms fighting tentacles.

I see the same woman with tears in her eyes with images of horror flashing through her mind while trapped in an immobile crystal inside an empty room.

The other images were all similar, but the woman was always with different emotions that she could somehow feel, emotions like anger, sadness, despair, guilt, loneliness, and even madness.

The last image was of me touching the crystal, I was seeing myself, but the point of view was from inside this six-pointed star-shaped jewel.

"(Let me die...)"

The voice in my mind was filled with a deep desire to die and a great deal of guilt, my heart was racing because of it all.

"Dad!!!" (Vanessa)

"..." (I)

I tell everyone everything I knew, I told that a woman I assumed to be the Queen was a mage and during an exploration in a valley full of miasma they found what I also assumed to be the Heretic God Fragment, this God Fragment took possession of her body and used the miasma in the surroundings to condense a body, during that time the woman didn't know what was happening, but then the images of what this monster did to her Kingdom came driving her insane for a long time.

"So she's still conscious and alive inside the seal?" (Vanessa)

"She's alive but not conscious." (I)

"You said she talked to you." (Sakura)

"Her mind has been broken for a long time, it is far beyond any kind of healing or recovery, all she has is the subconscious still begging for death which was her strongest wish before her mind broke." (I)

"What race is she from?" (Layla)

"From the memories, I saw it looked like a Demon." (I)

"So how is she still alive after thousands of years?" (Layla)

"It must be the fragment that keeps her alive or at least keeps the host body alive." (Vanessa)

"Are you going to kill her?" (Nix)

"Yes, her will was broken along with her mind, all she has is the wish to die, there's no point in saving someone like that and I don't even know if it's possible." (I)

"Sometimes death can be a release." (Sakura)

"You must not kill her yet, doing so may free the God Fragment from that seal." (Ragnar)

"So what should we do?" (I)

"You swim, but Vanessa can use the blood judgment to kill the woman even inside the seal, plus the body can be destroyed after the judgment leaving only the God Fragment inside the seal." (Ragnar)

"Think you can do this, Vanessa?" (I)

"Yes, but I'm a little tired, can we wait a few more minutes for me to recover?" (Vanessa)

"Then I'll leave that matter in your hands, we'll be here for another two hours before I leave, get some rest." (I)

Vanessa rested for a while, and after that, she prepared to make the judgment, I saw a scale materialize on top of the jewel, soon all the blood in the body came out of the jewel as if passing through the jewel, the scale marked that there was no crime considering she innocent.

I thought that plan had failed, but then the body began to glow inside the jewel showing that the woman's silhouette became a liquid that we discovered to be blood when it came out of the jewel with the same ease as before, this blood disappears leaving a transparent kneeling silhouette in the air while disappearing without a trace.
