How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 70

Episode 70. The Tree of Rest (2).

“Hey, please stop….”

The one who appeared next to him as he sat was not human. It was a dark elf with dark skin that reflected faintly under the moonlight, long, dark hair, and pointed ears that stuck out of his hair and had blue-colored eyes.

Her blue eyes were filled with tears that looked as if they would fall at any moment, and her hands, clasped neatly in front of her, were trembling, unable to hide their trembling.

Kael, who had been following Tariq, turned his head with his chin still resting on his hand and looked at the dark elf.

Gentle, slightly downturned eyes. Despite her dark skin, the tear duct located just below her left eye stands out.

“Why should I do that?”

Kael asked her in his usual indifferent voice, and the dark elf spoke with her eyes tightly shut.

“Just today… Just today, once it passes, they will be able to find peace again.”

“Is that really rest?”

“that….”

“At least it’s different from the rest I’ve ever seen.”

At those words, the dark elf opened his closed eyes again.

“How can man know rest…?”

“That’s racial discrimination. That’s it.”

“If you cut the thread that connects me to them, they’ll have nowhere to go and will wander forever. So… please.”

The dark elf was already sobbing and pleading. However, Kael was not shaken by the sight of the dark elf in front of him.

I thought that ‘Raina’, the older of the dark elf twins, was quite quick to grasp the situation. She was persuading me because she knew that she had no chance of winning if she charged in.

“You guys are going to do it yourselves anyway.”

you guys.

The dark elf, no, Lina tried to open her mouth to ask what the words Kael uttered, which were difficult to understand and knew that there was more than one dark elf. But Kael continued speaking a little faster.

“In order to lead them to the tree of rest, I must break the link with you.”

“… Then, the tree of rest was brought here.”

“It is said that dark elves can sense the energy of the Tree of Peace from a considerable distance.”

Lina had no answer.

I didn’t know exactly what to say. My sister, myself, and Lysa knew when someone entered the Black Forest.

Two people entered the black forest.

But only one person was caught in the inner mirror hanging in the black forest.

There were two cases where one would not be caught by the inner mirror. Either one had the blood of a dark elf, a race of peace, or one understood the magic of the inner mirror itself.

But the person before her eyes was definitely a human. The latter was all that was left. The inner mirror was a magic that was only passed down to dark elves, so Laina, who already knew that they were the only dark elves left for a long time, could not understand how this young human knew this magic.

“Who the hell are you?”

A worn-out soul.

The soul being worn out meant that it had already been reincarnated countless times. However, the general rule was that the soul would return to the embrace of God and, after a sufficient amount of time, would be restored and reincarnated again.

However, the soul of the person in front of me looked like a soul that had been reincarnated without rest.

“He who has come to do business with you.”

“transaction….”

“Yes. I am Laina. Lysa. I have come to make a deal with you.”

I heard my name, which I thought would never be called again by anyone except my twin.

While Kael and Raina were in the middle of a conversation.

Tariq’s forehead, which was covered in beads of sweat as he dealt with those who had not found rest, was already covered in beads of sweat.

Even if you cut through bones and rotten flesh, you won’t feel any pain. It wasn’t that hard to deal with those who only wanted living bodies. But at the same time, the difficulty level increased because you wanted to see the ‘thread’ that Kael had mentioned.

I cut and cut again.

A drop of sweat ran down his forehead and fell from his chin to the floor. As time passed, his breathing became more rapid, and Tariq bit the inside of his mouth as he tried to correct the path his sword had been following for years.

“Give me your body-!!!”

– Kkudangtang!!!

Unable to avoid the one that was coming at him, he fell to the ground and could see a red thread faintly swinging behind the back of the cracked and twisted skull that was strangling him strongly.

Tariq twisted his body to shake off the skeleton that was strangling his neck, then raised his sword and cut the red thread into the air.

Screams and screams echoed around Tariq as he stood up, watching the skeletons lose their strength and crumble. The sound of running could be heard amidst the ear-splitting noise.

Along with the light, gentle sound of the grass brushing past, a very familiar voice cut through the noise and rang out clearer than any other sound.

“Ka-el-!!! Ta-ri-k-!!!”

Outside Shabat Village. At the border between the village and the Black Forest, which can be seen without taking a few steps, a figure suddenly appeared. To be exact, it was Mabel, riding on something.

“…cat?”

It was surprising that Mabel, who should have been safely outside the Black Forest, showed up here. The child was riding a giant cat.

Many people who did not miss Tariq’s opening, who was shocked by the current situation, simultaneously attacked him.

He raised his sword in a fit of rage, but he instinctively felt that it was already too late.

“No matter how much help you say you’ll give, you have to concentrate until the end.”

A leisurely voice was heard, and the bodies of those who had been rushing towards them suddenly fell to the floor like puppets whose strings had snapped.

The sound of bones clashing and flesh being crushed all came together to create an eerie sensation. Of course, it was Kael who created this scene.

Kael, who had gotten up, approached Tariq.

“…thank you.”

“I helped you once because I thought I saw it right. If you do this again, I won’t help you, whether you die or not.”

“Yes. I will keep that in mind.”

“And Mabel.”

After hearing Tariq’s answer, Kael looked at the small child sitting on the back of Raisa, who looked like a giant cat, or more accurately, a caracal.

Her pink hair, which would otherwise be tangled if not combed properly, was a mess as if it had been hit by a bomb, as she had been running so fast, and she was holding a tree branch taller than her height in her arms.

“yes…!”

Kael let out a small sigh as a nervous voice answered briefly to the cold gaze directed at him.

“It’s great that you came to help. From now on, wait and see what happens and call someone. If you’re not careful, Tariq could get seriously hurt.”

“Eung…! I’ll be careful next time! I’m sorry!”

“The apology goes to Tariq.”

“Tariq, I’m sorry!”

“I am okay, because my master saved me.”

With the situation seemingly settled, Kael took a closer look at the branch Mabel was holding in her arms.

A black branch covered with small, bell-shaped, pure white flowers. It was the same branch of the tree of peace as in my memories.

“But how did you get here, Miss…?”

Then Tariq asked curiously, and Raisa slowly bent down to make it easier for Mabel to get down.

“Thank you, Lisa.”

Mabel, with her feet on the ground, opened her mouth to answer Tariq’s question, and the branches in her arms swayed with the child’s movements, releasing the clear sound of drops.

* * *

To see how Mabel ended up in Shabat Village, we had to go back three days to when Kael and Tariq left for the Black Forest.

“Your name is ‘Raina’, right?”

“meow.”

3 days ago.

When Mabel asked the name of the person in the form of a caracal, he responded with a short cry that he was indeed Raina.

“then….”

Mabel opened her mouth to continue her question, but before the child could finish speaking, a sound echoed through the villa.

– Gulp!

It was the loud roar of a stomach.

Perhaps it was because she had used her divine powers like that and had been unconscious for quite some time. Mabel’s stomach, filled with warm milk, was growling loudly, asking for more food, and Mabel’s face, which had stopped what she was about to say at the sound, turned bright red as if it were on fire.

“I’ll prepare dinner right away!”

How do you know this beast’s name? Lily, curious but unable to ask, got up and headed to the kitchen.

A soft, sturdy paw was placed on Mabel’s shoulder, her head bowed low, her cheeks flushed with red.

“meow-.”

“No. It’s not okay.”

“Meow-? Meow, meow.”

“Don’t comfort me like that. It’ll make me even more miserable… .”

While Lily was preparing dinner, Mabel asked Lisa a few questions as her flushed face cooled.

“Um. Anyway! Kitty.”

“meow-!”

“Not a cat? Then it’s a caracal.”

“Meow?”

“Isn’t there an animal called a caracal here? Hmm… No, that’s not it! Are you sure your name is Lisa?”

Lisa answered again with a short cry.

Even though it was clearly an animal face, not a human one, and the expression was hard to read, Mabel felt like she was hearing an auditory hallucination as if Lisa was saying, “Why did you bother asking me twice?”

“Dark Elf Raisa?”

“meow-.”

“Over there, living in the Black Forest?”

“Hey, hey.”

“But why does it look like that?”

“Meow? Meow- Meow, meow-meow meow. Meow-.”

Mabel realized that questions requiring short answers were communicable, but questions requiring long answers were not. So she started asking questions, guessing here and there.

“Can’t you change?”

“meow.”

“Out of the Black Forest?”

“meow.”

“Are there any restrictions?”

“meow.”

Mabel didn’t know it, but it wasn’t just the souls that were tied to Shabat Village. The twin dark elves who had bound them, Laina and Lysa, were also tied to Shabat Village.

Out of the village. I was able to get out of the Black Forest. But I couldn’t get out in my original form. Another ability of the dark elves.

They were only able to emerge after using their ability to change their appearance into that of an animal to guide the soul of a child who was afraid of their appearance when leading them to rest.

“Miss-! Dinner is ready!”

Lily, who had already finished preparing dinner, approached Mabel, who was having a friendly conversation with Lisa. Mabel, who had been able to find out the general information about what she was curious about, sat up with a light expression.

Since my stomach started growling earlier.

The moment Mabel started walking towards the dining table to quickly eat her food, she was already feeling extremely hungry.

– Ddddddd… .

The building shook as if there was an earthquake.

“…Why are you doing this to me…?”

Don’t you know the saying that you shouldn’t even touch a dog while eating?!
