I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

82 – A Savior Wrapped in Night

There may be a slight, bloody expression.

************************************************ *******************************************

“Stop it…!!!”

Ezerina, a dark-haired girl locked in an iron cage with her whole body tightly tied and unable to lift a finger, strained her throat as she began to feel the taste of her blood, screaming in agony. Spit out

“Stop it, please…! Kel, Rock…! Please, please…!”

What is in front of Ezerina’s eyes, who desperately prays while vomiting blood leaking from her throat…

“…Kick.”

A follower of the Demonic Cult with blood raising her dagger and her cruel grin at Ezerina pleading

“……Un……ni.”

Atop a small altar the size of an adult, covered in blood, bound limbs…… It was a young girl who looked like Ezerina.

Crying-

A girl whose stomach was cracked to the point where she could see things she shouldn’t have, and red blood was constantly pouring out.

“Ah…pah…. Too, ah, pah…. Eon, nie….”

“Yes…! Yes…!!! Unnie, I’m sorry for being weak…! I’m so sorry, Ene…!!!”

Ene is looking for herself while complaining about her pain in a voice that seems like it will die out at any moment.

The only thing Ezerina can do for her brother is to resent her cursed ones and her own helplessness for making her brother like that, and bitterly name her own brother. All I could do was call.

“Eh, you…I…I’m…So…Sleepy…”

“Ah, ah…! No! If I go to sleep now, I will never… Kellogg!… No, no! Ene…!!!”

Ezerina watched with a tear in her heart as the fire of life that burned in her sister’s beautiful indigo blue eyes began to fade.

She recalled how she, herself, she had landed in the middle of such a terrible hell.

******

Ezerina lived with her sister Ene, who was three years younger than herself, in a small village of less than 40 households.

Although her sister’s parents died when she herself was 10 years old.

“Ezerina, you caught a moose of hers this time. Here, take a piece of her meat and eat it with her brother.”

“Oh, Ezerina! Welcome back. The lady made some clothes, and after finishing it, it looks like it will suit your sister. Won’t you give it to me?”

Thanks to the warmth and help of the villagers, living with two young sisters was not that difficult.

But I can’t live by relying on the villagers like this. So, Ezerina decided to find work.

“Sister…. I want to be an accountant for a big upper class or an office worker for an aristocratic family. Then I can repay her sister, right?”

Moreover, the fact that not only her older sister herself, but her younger sister, who was very clever even when viewed by others, was aiming for a job as a treasurer at a large company or an office job in the empire further spurred Ezerina’s determination.

In order for you to get her job, which is her goal, she is required, not required, to attend an educational institution that teaches you relevant skills.

However, the tuition at such an educational institution was unreasonably high for a commoner family, and especially for young sisters without parents.

“…As expected, a mercenary would be nice.”

So, it might have been natural for Ezerina, who was looking for something she could do even as a child, to turn her attention to the mercenary business, which was risky but could make a lot of money even for commoners if she had the skills.

As soon as Ezerina made up her mind, she registered as a mercenary.

Three lucks followed Ezerina.

“Would you like to learn swordsmanship from me?”

It is that the old man who moved into the house next to her sister was a retired mercenary who had reached the platinum rank, and that she was able to learn combat skills and low-level magical psychic techniques through the eyes of such a retired mercenary.

“That’s amazing…!. A talented kid like you is one of the top three kids I’ve seen in my 50 years as a mercenary!”

And finally, Ezerina had an outstanding talent.

Ezerina fully absorbed the teachings of her mentor, a retired mercenary, for 10 years and blossomed her talent, and was able to acquire skills that surpassed those of the children of aristocratic families who had been training since she was young.

Even if she entered Valhalla Academy, which is now called the golden generation, she could easily enter the top 30.

She actually received an application form for Valhalla’s entrance exam, but Ezerina, who thought it was more important for her to enter an educational institution, ignored it and sold out her mercenary business.

“Okay…! With this amount of savings, I can get Ene enrolled in an educational institution and fully support her!”

A few days ago, she was promoted to the rank of mercenary, and at the same time, she succeeded in collecting the amount she was aiming for.

In order to inform her lovely sister, her teacher, and the villagers as soon as possible. Ezerina did not even properly relieve her fatigue after completing her long-distance request, and she hurried back to her village, where she had not returned for a month.

What Ezerina welcomed was——

“Kyaaa!!!”

“Ahh! Let go of this!!!”

“Oh, sister…!!!”

── Her own brother and the people of her village, with a village on fire full of screams and shouts, and being held captive by bandits in sinister robes.

And…

Kwadeuk-!

“Hmm… It was an opportunity to make a compatriot who reached the level of a superhuman after a long time, but I accidentally killed him. …Well, it’s a pity, but he was an old guy when he got old, so it should be fine.”

The top of his neck was blown off by the hand of a man presumed to be the leader of the villains…… It was the figure of her own master.

“You uh uh !!!!!”

Ezerina, half frantic, pounced on her man, but….

“Heuk…!”

“Oh, I never thought I’d find such useful talent in a backcountry like this.”

After competing with her man several times, she was defeated.

“With this level of skill at such a young age, you have more than enough qualifications to be ‘baptized’ by our church.”

Ezerina’s consciousness began to fade, and after hearing her satisfied man’s words, Ezerina’s consciousness went out.

“…Ugh, this place…?”

When Eze Rina opened her eyes again ──

-aaah!!!!

-It hurts… ! No… ! Don’t do it… !!!

-Mom… ! Mom… !

──It was in the middle of a terrible hell, where terrible screams rang out.

“What is this…?!”

People with familiar faces tied to several altars in the middle of a huge cavern and being tortured by those wearing black robes.

And as if to show the cruel scene forcibly, in the numerous prisons made of iron bars surrounding the altar, the captured villagers were screaming in agony as they watched their families being tortured.

“Stop it now…!”

Recognizing that, Ezerina tried to attack her immediately to stop the torture, but….

Chulkyong-!

“Kuh…?!”

She was prevented from doing so by her chains that bound her whole body and her thick shackles that bound her limbs.

“Something like this…!”

Ezerina tried to raise her magic to destroy the shackles that bound her, but…

“Magic power… Won’t move…!?”

Because of the ‘magic blockade’ ability given to her shackles, Ezerina, who could not move even a handful of magic power, had no means to destroy her thick iron shackles.

Because of this, Ezerina could do nothing but watch as helplessly as the others, as the villagers she could call her family died in her agony.

“Stop, stop…!!! Ahhh…!!!”

The hunter, who was said to be proud of his excellent eyes, who always shared meat with her sisters after a successful hunt, ── had his eyeballs roughly gouged out and died with tears of blood flowing from his empty pupils.

“Please help me…!!! I hate it…!! Oh, don’t come…!!! Kyaaa!!!”

The lady next door, who smiled kindly and presented her sister with clothes she had woven herself, died having her limbs forcibly ripped off by those wearing her black robes.

“Mom…!!! Dad…!!!”

The village headman’s grandson, who secretly had a crush on his younger brother, anxiously searched for his parents who had already died ── his whole body was crushed to death by countless hammer blows.

As time passed, the water level of the lake of red blood created in the cavity was increasing, and the height of the hill made up of villagers’ corpses was also increasing.

Her neck as she cried out to stop was already tattered, her ceaseless tears were already dry, and red blood began to flow instead.

How long has it been since you were dragged into this hell?

The prison, which used to exceed 30, disappeared every time the prisoner was emptied, leaving only one prison, Ezerina, alone.

Even those who used to live over a hundred people are now Ezerina and Ene, just the two of them.

“This is the last offering to the demon.”

That, too, the moment the sharp dagger held up by the Demon God’s follower pierced the dying Ene’s neck, there would be only one left.

“No Eh Ee ─── !!!!!”

Despite Ezerina’s mournful cry, a dagger struck mercilessly.

The moment when the dagger with eerie anticipation pierces the girl’s throat.

Kwajik-!

“That’s it.”

A savior clad in night has descended from the sky.

“Ah…”

Unlike the cloaked black robes of the Demonic Church. Ezerina stared blankly at the sharp-eyed man wearing a robe reminiscent of midnight, smashing a follower’s head and brushing off the blood from his staff.

“You…”

Her man saw Ezerina like that, and she opened her eyes slightly wide as if she had seen something unexpected.

From noble mtl dot com

“……No, that’s not important right now.”

She shook her head and walked over to the girl lying on her altar.

“Ah, eh, eh…!!!”

Eze Rina, who had been watching her man move in a daze, finally came to her senses and turned her attention to her brother, who was beginning to wander between death and death.

“Boo, please… !!! Please, save Ene! I’ll do anything I can! Please, save her sister… !!!”

Although he is an unknown man, Ezerina begged her man with the feeling that he would give her soul if she could save her sister, even if her man was her demon.

“Don’t worry. It’s not too late.”

“Ah…”

Her man is calm, but the moment he hears it, he speaks to Ezerina in a very reassuring voice.

“…Who, who? Sister… Hey…?”

“No, it’s a mercenary.”

The man who answered lightly to Ene, who looked up at her with cloudy eyes, where the shadow of her death had begun to dwell, put her hand close to the girl’s cracked wound…

Ugh-

“Da, I mean…”

A warmer, kinder light than anything else in the world poured from the man’s hand, and Ene’s wounds began to heal quickly.

“God, holy magic…?”

That beautiful light is the same divine magic used by intermediate priests in the temple of the main church that Ezerina visited when she was seriously injured while doing her request… No, a brighter light.

At this level, it was a level of divine magic proficiency that easily surpassed that of an intermediate priest, and approached that of an advanced priest specializing in healing.

As if Ezerina’s thoughts were correct, Ene’s wounds went beyond healing and began to recover at a speed close to regeneration.

“What are you doing…! Hurry up and kill that trespasser! We’re offering the vile villains of that evil cult to the devil! Everything is for the devil!”

“””Everything for the devil!”””

As a follower wearing a robe with two pairs of horns scolded, the other follower, with faith close to madness in their eyes, quickly attacked the man who was treating the girl with their backs turned to the follower.

“It’s dangerous…!”

And Ezerina, who discovered it, quickly warned her man….

“…….”

Despite the warning, the man who didn’t even look at the followers lightly bent the staff he was holding in the opposite hand of the hand that healed the girl–

Kwaguawang──!!!

“Ah…”

── She let out an exclamation involuntarily at the sight of the colorful magic raging incessantly and devouring the followers of the Demon God.

With every stroke of her staff, a flower of fire rises, a serpent of water crawls on the ground, a blade of wind slashes, a fist of rock crushes, a whip of trees lashes out. Lost.

Due to her man’s transcendent talent, a bombardment of intermediate magic that exceeded 5 per second raged inside the cavity.

The devil’s followers sacrificed their lives for that ruthless magic, unable to even resist.

The magic bombardment continued until the man completely cured the girl…

“You’ll be fine with this.”

The moment the man finished treating the girl.

The demon followers who attacked the man were no longer visible.
