Episode 198 ― Return for the Future (6)
“It’s already been a thousand years since I came to my senses inside the sword. I had plenty of time to think about it.”
After finishing my conversation with Amelie, I returned to the visitor’s quarters. It is already late in the morning.
As the conversation with the duke continued, Aina’s sister, who had been waiting for us, left a note saying that she would spend the night at Iris’ house.
It’s a bonus that Iris is happy and her Kouran is comfortable as well.
Knowing that no one was at the inn, Fiora manifested and appeared in front of Roan.
Fiora, who nakedly clung to Roan to satisfy her regrets, absorbed his semen several times.
Deep dawn.
Fiora, who had been struggling to catch her breath while lying naked on top of Roan, let go of her luck.
“It must have been cramped.”
“Well, even when I lived outside the sword, I wasn’t the type to wander all over the continent. It was bearable.”
The lumpy chest was crushed against Roan’s hard chest, supporting Fiora’s upper body.
Roan slowly removed Fiora’s silver hair from the front of his shoulder.
“Anyway, what did I do, was it worthwhile, what is the meaning of such a long life? I had plenty of time to think.”
“Hmm.”
“It was then, and it is now. In conclusion, I thought it would be enough if it was a world where I could just live properly without someone’s strong interference. So, I lived quite happily until I realized that he wasn’t completely sealed.”
Fiora adds, “I don’t know if living inside the sword is life.”
Roan slowly put his hand on Fiora’s waist.
His voluptuous ass gets caught in his hand.
A soft and elastic area.
At the tickling caress, Fiora laughed and twisted his body.
“Thanks to the soul dwelling in the sword, I was able to live through a time that was impossible for a living being to even dare. In the meantime, there were quite a few people who loved me. Thanks to that, I was able to live a long time as a person.”
It seems to play with his hands now and then,
Roan listened intently to Fiora’s words.
Knowing that, she wasn’t annoyed.
“Strength, power, love… It’s useless if you don’t have something to do with it. That’s what I realized while being alone in the sword.”
Fiora’s crimson eyes sparkled.
Roan stopped beckoning her and looked into her serious eyes.
What Roan found in her glowing eyes was a strong wick she had refined over the years.
Her ability to maintain her self and keep her thoughts for a long time seemed to prove that Fiora was a spirit beast.
“At first, her colleagues were resentful. It wasn’t even that outrageous. Do I have to survive like this, what did I sacrifice for?”
“So, did you find the answer?”
Fiora nodded her head, feeling Roan’s hand caressing her cheek gently.
“I threw myself into a world where someone could eat, be merry, and sleep to their heart’s content. Is the world still going that way? My decision was not wrong.”
“Thank you.”
A short word from Roan.
Words that Fiora didn’t expect.
Through the bodies that were in contact with each other, the slowly accelerating heartbeat was transmitted.
I can’t console all she’s been through,
At least she can give thanks now and give her a hug.
Roan hugged Fiora’s warm body.
With her wide eyes, Fiora looked at him from a distance where he could feel his breath.
It was comforting to Roan that a wide smile slowly began to spread across her face.
“Is it okay if I receive the gratitude and grace you deserve?”
Roan asked as she straightened her long stray hair, and Fiora nodded her head, matching her beautiful smile.
“Sure. Roan. Have you forgotten who I am?”
She smiled and slowly raised her body.
With her arms supporting her upper body,
Fiora looked at Roan with a bewitching attitude.
“I am a sword. Your sword. It is a sword that improves you. I have chosen to accept what I am, and you, my master, are just as good as this.”
Fiora carefully stroked Roan’s cheek.
“As a demon, there will be no one who has accomplished something like this. I am proud of you as a disciple, as a friend, as a sword.”
After staring into her eyes for a moment, Roan lifted her hand from her cheek and kissed the back of her hand.
Fiora, who was smiling at her affectionate gesture, suddenly noticed that Roan’s lips were stiff.
“… Roan?”
It is also true that she was suspicious of Fiora because she did not know her true intentions, and was wary of her because of her powers.
But now, there is no lie in Fiora’s actions or words.
Now her old stories are revealed and she has given all of herself for her Roan.
Roan realized it was time for him to be honest with her too.
After he became the Demon King,
He decided to confide in him a story he hadn’t told anyone in real life.
Not an easy decision.
It wasn’t easy to have a soft smile like usual.
“Fiora. The reason you were able to turn Laurecia into a goddess was it because of your special power, right?”
The smile disappeared from Fiora’s eyes.
“… How did you know that… ?”
“I also have a special ability. So I want to know a little more about that power you have.”
Fiora looked down at Roan, then she slowly came down from above him.
The graceful curves caught Roan’s attention, but he slowly lifted her robe and covered Fiora, waiting for her answer.
There must be a reason why Roan said this. Fiora, who took a moment to organize her thoughts, opened her mouth.
“Youngsoo, young thing… Those with special powers and shapes different from humans were called that in Rayorun. An entity that can change into either an animal or human form. There were many of my own people who lived their whole lives like that without even changing into a human form.”
Fiora continued her words as she adjusted the robe Roan had given her.
“Special power is the power to create miracles. It doesn’t grow with training like swordsmanship or magic, but a power you have from birth.”
The information Fiora was talking about was the first knowledge she had learned.
Evirzio is in the eastern part of the Moira continent,
Rayorun, Fiora’s hometown, is on the other side, at the western end. Besides, a distant island.
There is Merde in the middle, and recently it is a closed place that does not even trade with Merde.
If it only existed in the Rayorun area and had already become extinct thousands of years ago, it wouldn’t be strange if there was no information about it.
“The power I had was the ability to unconditionally produce the desired result.”
“It was an ability… That is. Are you saying you can’t write now?”
“Because I have no body.”
Fiora’s smile was sad.
No matter how much she became aware of the fact that it was a sword, her sadness at losing something important didn’t seem to disappear even after a long time.
“That special power is based on both mind and body. No matter how excellent magic and mental power is, it is difficult to create miracles with a child’s body, and even if the body is fully equipped, if you do not have the mental, magical, or holy power to raise your abilities, your power will not bloom.”
“Is it the result of growing both the body and mind?”
“Yes. That’s why my ability only remains in my memory. I can manifest, but this body was created based on my mind and memories… It’s something that isn’t real.”
After explaining her basic concept of her skill, Fiora’s expression was bitter, but she soon explained her own skill as if she had made up her mind.
“My power to create results unconditionally is actually illogical. No matter how much you call it a miracle. It is the duty of the world that there must be a cause for an effect to come out.”
“But you have to create results. Are you paying the price for that?”
Fiora widened her eyes, as if in amazement that Roan was able to guess her own skill.
“The cost was your life and everyone else’s life?”
Fiora looked at Roan without saying a word.
I was surprised at how well Roan knew his powers, and above all, Roan’s words sounded like proof of what he said earlier: ‘I also have special abilities’.
The red lips parted as if to say something, then closed again.
“Yes. Miracles need ingredients.”
She tried to ask something, but she stopped.
Because I thought curiosity was not a priority.
Fiora decided to finish her explanation for now.
“For example, a spear flying right in your nose. How do you usually block attacks with weapons?”
Roan, who was sitting at the head of her bed, answered. It’s a simple question.
“Either slash them with a weapon, or avoid them. There are also ways to kill opponents.”
“What if the window was too close for that reaction?”
Instead of answering, Roan slightly raised his eyebrows.
“Situations like that can happen. Irresistible force. But my miracle is against force majeure.”
Fiora hugged his knees and put his fingers on him.
“Even if you can’t lift a weapon, you can make it raise a weapon. Instead, somewhere in your body will be broken. I’ll get the strength and speed I can’t generate.”
Roan’s eyes narrowed.
Reversal of causality.
Literally, it adjusts the cause so that the effect has no choice but to happen.
No matter what the cost is to pay in the adjustment process.
“If you don’t have the speed to dodge, another body part might be cut off instead of your head. Someone might suddenly decide to jump between you and the enemy, or you might slip in your sweat and fisherman out of the spear.”
“You don’t know what the cost will be, so you don’t know whether it will be positive or negative.”
“That’s right.”
It is an absurdly dangerous ability.
Of course, it is a level 4 skill with racial compensation attached, so it seems that the efficiency is incomparably higher than when it was at a lower level.
At level 1, if you block the window and your arm flies away, at level 4, you’ll end up with just a finger or your chances of survival will be much higher.
Skills in other games also have different levels in such a way that their efficiency and range are widened.
However, there is no change in the fact that you have to pay the price anyway, and it is terrifying that you do not know what the price will be.
Now that I have something to protect,
More.
“Roan.”
Knowing that Roan was lost in thought, Fiora, who had been waiting for a while, opened her mouth after a while.
“Can I talk to you now?”
Roan looked into Fiora’s eyes.
Now that he trusts her,
There was no hesitation in his words.
“I am from another world. You asked if I was from Rayorun. The world I live in is much further away than that.”
Fiora furrowed her pretty eyebrows as if she didn’t understand Roan’s words.
“It’s so far away, what…”
“I came here through the power of Goddess Laurecia from a place so far away. Not knowing where to turn.”
“… That’s what… , I mean… ?”
Fiora’s pink eyes trembled with embarrassment.
But Roan’s words weren’t over yet.
“The goddess led me here and asked for my help. She had to block something, she said. I haven’t heard exactly what it is, but I still think the fight you entered into isn’t over. In the process, I gained a special ability.”
“No way, Roan… Hopefully, my strength…”
With her skill, Roan knew what Fiora was trying to say.
Roan nodded his head gently.
“Okay. I can copy someone’s special power.”
As you guessed.
