For You This World I'll Destroy

Two-Eyed Illusion (4)

—14—

“Ma Dame... Uh, since I have become your Assistant, may I call you, Princess Noctis?” lumina asked as we exited her laboratory.

Hmmm, why does everyone in this district like to call me Princess Noctis? That's the name they gave my brother. Bodo.

“Everyone has already called me that,” I replied.

Lumina chuckled softly, “Soalya the Crown Princess has long led us. Looking at someone who looks a lot like her, our tongue is talking about calling you Princess Noctis.”

“Where are you from? Big brother is much prettier than me,” my candlestick that also opens the exit.

The sea of books welcomed me. Books were arranged arbitrarily, encircling the walls of the tower to the top. Basically, it's like a hurricane, papers and books are everywhere. In fact, the doctor's bed was just a pile of books wrapped in sheets. But on one side of the tower, there were several clean white beds and well-equipped medical equipment.

How different from the neat and meticulous Luciel, Lumina was a slovenly and slovenly Homunculus!

"H-Hadeuuh, sorry Princess Noctis. W-If I knew you were coming, I'd have cleaned up my house better. Before you go home, Princess wants some tea? I will soon bua-aaahh!!" he said he then fell because he tripped over a book and his eyes glazed over with pain.

Oh, my God, how reckless this Homunculus is. He was not aware that his body was built with rare materials that cost up to a thousand gold pieces?

"Uh, calm down, I'm going home. If Luciel doesn't see me working this morning, a fourth world war could break out in the store,” I said offering my hand.

Lumina shook her head, "No-no-no. As a good host I must provide snacks for the Princess!" he said stubbornly trying to stand on his own.

“Eeeh, seriously, don't bother. I—,” said I who suddenly sniffed the familiar scent at the Clinic.

The smell of iron and blood rancid combined with the mixture of sebum produced by human skin. It's not strange to smell blood rancid in a doctor's clinic, is it possible that Lumina is performing an autopsy?

Following the scent, I found a wide open window there. But that scent hasn't left this room, she's in—

“Mr Princess!” yelled Lumina who immediately protected me from the sickle sword slash of a Matrovska. The sharp sword tore through the synthetic skin of Lumina's hand, revealing the iron and intricate wires that made up her hand.

Lumina's eyes lit up as she said, “Lightning Burst.”

… Electric element?

Like lightning, the girl moved quickly behind the Matrovska. Deftly he took the dark figure's arm and slammed it to the floor, then locked it in a fast tempo. To my amazement, I couldn't believe that a doctor was as good at martial arts as Lumina.

“Araraa, it's worth Arthur dare to travel alone, it turns out he has a very reliable protector,” I said that glanced at the iron bars tattoo that wrapped around the hand of the Matrovska. Hmm so familiar, where have I seen that tattoo?

Lumina opened her skirt and took out a dagger there. Without the babibu, the girl immediately pulled Matrovska's head and slaughtered her carotid artery. Not a single shred of doubt and regret dyed the girl's eyes, even though blood dyed her hands and face.

Was he used to seeing death as a doctor or as Arthur's protector, used to snuff out his enemies?

A very interesting homunculus. Even if the enemy, Matrovska is worth more alive than dead. You see, a bunch of dead bodies can't give me the information I want.

“A doctor but do not hesitate to take a person's life. Is your blood-filled hand worth helping others?” I said watching the doctor watching his enemy die slowly.

“There are lives that deserve to be saved, but there are also those that deserve to be revoked,” said Lumina who stood up and cleaned the dagger with her handkerchief reliably.

I folded my hands in surprise at the doctor's answer, “Hohoo, so you have the power to determine someone's life and death?” I also smiled grimacing, though,

“Like the Ereshkigal only.”

Lumina bent her brows, “Lumina was not that arrogant as she was with the Goddess. If the Princess dares to call the name of the Goddess disrespect so, does the Princess not believe in Goddess Nyghtingale?” ask the doctor back.

Hmm, no one knows the long name of the Goddess of death is Nyghtingale Ereshkigal. Except someone who met him.

“Oh, I believe in the Gods the most. I fought them,” I said.

“Princess is around, where has anyone ever met the Goddess?” reply Lumina.

Curious, I undressed the corpse and was surprised to see a woman behind it. Cold the girl's body with bright red bruises on her back and hamstrings. Without the flow of magic, his body now became stiff like a statue.

“Leham corpse? He's been dead a long time. And the smell of her mouth, almond.... Is this woman a prisoner sentenced to death with cyanide?” lumina's comment was checking the body, though,

“Ssh... These tattoos all over her body are reddish-colored maish, a sign of healing. Cruel, they had this tattoo on when this girl was alive. But, what does it mean Princess?” continued.

I squinted my eyes at the ancient letters that made up the black bars all over the woman's body. The ancient letter was written stiff and ugly, as if it was struck down by an amateur witch while reading a manual. Well, the magic works, but it's not as strong as it should be. If he works fully, maybe Lumina and I will have a hard time stopping Matrovska.

“Heemm, cheap imitas Homunculus, Soul Prison. You know the three components that make up the human body? Mind, body and soul. When the body and mind die, the soul leaves the body to return to the river of life, ” answered me who opened my bag and searched for my tool, ,

“The soul is essentially an energy, when one closes its way out of a body, that energy can be harnessed by a witch to make her a faithful puppet,” I continued preparing the reagents and then took Matrovska's blood.

“Princess would like to say...This girl was resurrected with Necromancy magic? But, didn't the Magic Association have long banned the practice of magic? Witches who dare to do so can be put to death?”

“My sweet assistant, you are in Pei Jin instead of Kinje,” I said that poured Matrovska's blood in a conway cup and carefully drip the Evermemoria reagent inside. The blue particles shone in the blood, I spread them evenly by tilting the conway cup slowly.

“... Putri—“

“Sst, in Pei Jin, shadow has ears. What if with our own eyes, we see what happens to this woman?” I said watching the blue fog slowly appear to fill the conway cup, which I then removed until it was steaming in the air.

Lumina's eyes glowed in awe at the magic flashes emerging from the blue fog, slowly forming images of memories like a movie.

“This... the memory of the woman?” ask Lumina.

Lumina's eyes were sincere the first time she saw the technique. Strange, I thought he was the world traveler I was looking for. But it seems my suspicions are completely wrong. This technique I discovered while exploring my one thousandth world. If Lumina had never seen this technique, then she had never been to the world I had destroyed before.

Hmm, Lumina recognizing the name of the Death Goddess was just a coincidence? Or maybe.. someone told him?

“Lumina, just like the Mind, the Soul also records memories, although only moments are very imprinted for that person.With the Evermemoria reagent, a magic Alchemist is able to access those memories, and,” I said who put the conway cup on the floor and stood up,

“Yes, even though the maximum is only three seconds anyway, especially with the sample is already a bit rotten like this. Hopefully, yes, we can see who is the mastermind who turned this poor woman into a zombie,”.

“O-Oh, I almost forgot, The Princess is a magic alchemist who is better than me,” chirped Lumina.

“Badness. Did you think I was sworn into the White Witch because of what?”

“Rear door?”

Y-Yaaa. If only Ma Dame Fan didn't have a special agenda for me, I wouldn't be on his eye radar. But hearing it directly, my heart was quite tingled.

“Why... You have promised—“ suddenly heard a voice. 

The image of the blue fog was perfect. There I saw the hand that was holding a sword until it bled, holding it back from stabbing the woman's heart.

Before finishing his words, the sword was pulled forcefully from the hand of the woman and then hit her chest. Before the image of the blue fog disappeared, I was able to capture the color of the sword, red with the brightly lit ancient letter being its name.

Orion, a bloodthirsty sword with a curse that prevents the healing of wounds in each of his slashes.

Lumina scratching awkwardly, “S-It seems.Evermemoria technique is useless yes. From a glance at the picture, we can not even see the face of the killer, let alone the witch who raised this woman,” he said.

“... Not really. This is very important information,” I said smothering my mouth thinking hard and closing my eyes.

Why is Brother's sword in this world?

I opened my eyes and said, “Lumina, spread this to all the residents of the nameless district. Anyone who can submit the figure they suspect as Matrovska, will be awarded 1 piece of gold.”

Lumina was stunned, “S-S-S-S-Serious? W-Wait for the Princess, think about it. That's not an efficient way to track the Matrovska!“

“Just relax, I have a plan, My assistant.”
