How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 115



Only Noblemtl

Episode 115. The Hero Created (5).

The last saint, Selena.

A look of bewilderment crossed Matthias’ face at the name.

“Selena… how did you get that name… .”

Her name and the chains on my ankles. Those two things brought back memories to Matthias, so he quickly used his divine powers.

A warm light rose from his hand, and he unconsciously felt relief at being able to use divine power. After the feeling of relief, he felt anger at being toyed with by someone much younger than him.

“Mabel, what are you doing? Take these chains off right now.”

The child tilted his head at his soft, threatening voice.

“why?”

Matthias was speechless, forgetting the anger that was welling up in him as he looked at the child’s expression that asked with the most innocent expression in the world.

Mabel burst into laughter at the sight of his expression, but soon stopped laughing and called out to him.

“Your Highness, are you relieved that you were able to use divine power just now?”

“… … .”

Matthias’ silence soon became an affirmation. Mabel continued speaking with her smile gone.

“You treasure your own divine power so much, but you mercilessly take away the divine power of others.”

Mathias’ head quickly turned as Mabel spoke as if she knew what he had done.

From Selena’s name to her divine powers, to the fact that she can steal the divine powers of others, just how much does this girl know?

“From now on, Your Majesty the High Priest will not be able to take away anyone’s divine power.”

“That, what does that mean?”

Whether his head was spinning or not, Mabel shook her legs lightly. Unable to believe the child’s words that were said so calmly, Mathias immediately used his power on the child.

The golden eyes looking at Mabel darkened a little, and then his body collapsed.

“Kwaaaaak-!!!”

He screamed in excruciating pain, as if his eyes were being gouged out. He covered his eyes with his palms to ease the pain and took short breaths.

Mabel got down from the chair she was sitting on and walked towards him.

“As long as those chains are there, Your Majesty will suffer every time you try to take away someone’s divine power.”

Matthias slowly raised his head. In his blurry vision, he could clearly see the clear purple eyes looking down at him.

The child in front of me was smaller and weaker than me. There were many ways to subdue the child without taking away his divine power.

Mabel crouched down and rested her chin on her palms as she watched Matthias looking up at her. Her puffy cheeks were adorable, even though they didn’t match the situation.

“Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention this. The chains have another ability.”

Matthias held his breath as the divine power drained away rapidly. His posture collapsed and he saw his hand on the floor. The hand on the pure white marble was quickly drying up and becoming wrinkled.

The loosely braided platinum hair that flowed forward had become rough and white, with no trace of gold to be found.

He lifted my hand, which had changed drastically, and felt his face. He felt the sunken cheekbones and wrinkles with his rough fingertips.

As if in disbelief, he crawled toward the mirror in the corner of the room. It must have been only a few steps, but it felt so far away.

– Bam.

Finally, in the mirror that was clean and free of even a speck of dust, a handsome man in his mid-twenties was reflected, and he looked like an old man who could die at any moment.

For 300 years, the youth that had been maintained by stealing the divine power of others had disappeared along with the divine power.

“Ah, ah… no…!!!”

A scream like a scream escaped, and the gaunt old man’s arm swung the mirror. The mirror fell to the floor with a sharp sound, and was shattered into large and small pieces scattered in all directions.

“I can take away your divine power. How does it feel to have it taken away from you after you’ve only taken it?”

“Give it back… Give it back…!!!”

Matthias lost his temper and rushed at Mabel, not caring that the sharp shards of the mirror were nicking his palms.

But his body fell forward without being able to take a single proper step.

Once again, Mabel had taken away his divine powers. The shards of glass tore through his clothes and dug into his skin, but the pain was nothing compared to the agony that was suffocating him right now.

His body writhed and moved on the floor. Mabel, looking down at him as he groaned and struggled to breathe a little longer, slowly got up.

“You don’t know what to do when you ask for something, do you?”

A little bit of divine power returned to his almost dried-up body, and he knelt down and buried his head, gasping for breath.

“Stone, turn it… please turn it back.”

“There is no next time.”

Mabel warned him at the desperate pleading in his voice, and his head bobbed up and down frantically at the child’s warning.

Matthias’ body slowly began to fill with divine power. His wrinkled skin became smooth again, and his hair, which had been thin, regained its luster and gold color.

Mathias, who had seen his face reflected in a large piece of glass scattered on the floor, turned to face Mabel, who was looking at him.

“What do you want…?”

“I told you all along, send me home.”

“It’s difficult right now. Tomorrow… I’ll call a carriage tomorrow.”

“now.”

Mathias slowly got up at the sound of Mabel’s firm voice returning briefly. There was only one thing he could say.

“…Please pack your bags and come back. I’ll take care of things here.”

Mabel, who was about to go out at his words, turned to look at him just before opening the door. At the sight of the child, Matthias’ body, which had been healing his wounds with divine power, froze for a moment.

“I’m saying this just in case, but if you mention Idea, you’ll die. Well, if you want to talk about it, go ahead. Who would believe the words of a high priest who died with all his divine powers stripped away to be true? Right?”

“…keep that in mind.”

With a threatening smile that was not answered, Mabel left the room of the Grand Master. When Mabel returned to the annex, she found Cloris loitering in front of the room.

She also found Mabel and ran towards her, calling the child’s name.

“Mabel!”

“The High Priest sent me back home!”

“Your Majesty?”

Cloris asked incredulously, but soon found herself convinced.

From what I heard, what the Grand Master proposed in the three-way meeting was a proof of qualification, and everyone was watching the actions of Count Damie today. He risked his life to protect the capital, and it was no different from proving his qualification.

“Thank goodness you can go home now. Congratulations, Mabel.”

As Cloris offered her heartfelt congratulations, Mabel smiled, seemingly happy but also somewhat lonely.

“Sister! Please wait a moment!!!”

With those words, Mabel went into her room in the annex and appeared after about five minutes, carrying a paper bag in her arms that was clearly full.

The paper bag was filled with a vial of holy water, the same one Mabel had given him earlier.

“If Lars’s fever rises again, don’t use it all at once. Put it in his mouth slowly, even if it takes time.”

“This much… .”

As the words of rejection leaked out, Mabel stretched out her arms and held the paper bag in her arms as if she was shoving it into her arms.

“I’m sorry!”

“You have nothing to be sorry about, Mabel. Rather, we should be thanking you, Viscount Damier.”

At Cloris’s words, Mabel smiled as before.

“Then, Sister, I will go.”

“Take care.”

“yes!!!”

With that greeting, Mabel left the annex.

“That’s how I was able to return to the Damier household, and I heard that Kael was in the palace!”

Mabel reached out to Kael, who was listening intently to her words without interrupting even once, and a warm light came from her small hand.

“I couldn’t come to the palace right away, but thanks to His Majesty the Emperor’s consideration, I was able to see His face the next day. And the day after that, I was able to stay at the palace, so I was able to be here!”

Kael said absentmindedly, feeling the sting in his throat go away, perhaps thanks to Mabel’s use of divine power.

“I see.”

“Are there any other questions?”

“How did you come to be able to handle the holy relics?”

“Oh, I had some help with that one from Jack!”

After confirming the existence of the relic once again, Mabel immediately contacted Jack. As expected of the Guild Master of the Information Guild, Jack told Mabel the information about the relic one by one.

“It is said that only those who have been directly chosen by the holy relic can use the holy relic. The fact that Lars is called the chosen one means that he was chosen by God, but also by the holy relic.”

“Unless you directly use the power of a holy relic, it is difficult to tell whether it is a holy relic or not because you cannot feel anything from the outside. This is also why there are only a few holy relics.”

“How to use it? That’s a question that’s hard to answer precisely. It’s said that the owner of the relic often learns how to use it on their own.”

“After that, I practiced using the holy relic at night!”

In addition to its ability as a chain used on Matthias, the relic received from Selena could also be used to bind someone.

“The dolls were sacrificed, though!”

Kael stared intently at Mabel, who was speaking brightly. When Mabel met his gaze that was piercing through her with a puzzled look, Kael quickly placed a limp hand on Mabel’s crown.

“Good job. But don’t overdo it.”

“While Kael is doing it?”

Mabel, who realized what he was saying, answered in a playful tone, and Kael moved the hand he had placed on the child’s head and stroked it clumsily.

Mabel blinked quickly at the clumsy but affectionate touch. If she didn’t, she felt like she would burst into tears at any moment.

“You have only lived in this world for eight years. Since you have memories of your past life, things that are natural to the people of this world may not be natural to you, and may be difficult for you to understand.”

“Still, I want to protect my family.”

Kael chuckled at Mabel’s voice that flowed out like a whisper.

“Well, that determination is commendable.”

Mabel could smile happily at the mere fact that he didn’t deny that they were family.

Soon after, the news of Kael’s rise reached the ears of Emperor Bastian, who was meeting with the nobles. Upon hearing the news, he immediately broke up the meeting, and the story quickly spread through the mouths of the nobles present.

Viscount Damier. The news is that the hero who risked his life to protect and save them from this danger has awakened.
