And well, the Slime Clone dropped dead right after that, as if it wasn't even there before. It was surprising and it left me speechless, it simply became a pond of water.
When I tried touching it, a strong zapping pain hit my arm and paralyzed it. after that, I had begun to slowly rot. Yes, rotting like a damn corpse.
Good thing I had Death Attribute Resistance! This way, I rotted very slowly so I just cut off the arm and regrew a new one.
However, many can't just do that, so the curse is deadly as it expands across the body, and because it seems to be as strong as Rank 9 Curse Spell at the very least, not many can even fight against it.
This death attribute attack was incredibly potent, and it made me wonder if the Vampire Venerable was a Death Magic-user… not only blood but perhaps he also mastered Death, make sense, seeing how Vampires are technically Undead.
Ruby had said that someone within the faction of her mother saved her life from being used as a sacrifice by a mysterious and evil woman within her family. We told her the real identity of this woman and everything else, she accepted it pretty easily and moved on quite fast.
She said she recognized the efforts of her family and that was willing to protect her own life. Although she even implied, she was willing to become the vessel of the Venerable in the future.
Huh… Yeah, I don't think we would let that happen though.
Isn't he like super evil? Also, wouldn't she take over her body?
We didn't pursue the situation back then because Rakasha said she wanted some time by herself, and since then she had been living pretty leisurely around here with the kids.
I've made her train her magic though, so these last 7 days she had gone into the dungeons, killed monsters, cultivated, and drank potions made from the mana cores of the monsters she hunted.
She had been excited by how much she could grow stronger through these potions, so she had been polishing her magic and her other fighting techniques with the kids. Her ability to fight physically already matches those of the stronger kids and she had even fought against Yuki rather well, although our Yuki still beat her at the end with a cheeky smile.
Ruby is pridefully like an ojou-sama archetype girl, so she had been training to one day beat the cheeky Chinchilla Monkey beast-girl.
Anyways, I've thought about asked her how she felt about losing all her own self to become the vessel of a psychopath that killed the entire world, but we have not really done it yet. Deep down we feel like it would be way too rude to address that seeing how her mother has sacrificed so much to let her survive and all…
Even more when we learned that the Tyrannical Lady has been torturing her mother so she could speak about Ruby all this time… Of course, we didn't tell her that.
I am honestly conflicted over all of this situation; it is one of those times when you really feel like something is wrong, but the other side has their reasons to fight too and you can't really find who is right and who is wrong because both sides have put so much effort into their own beliefs…
But if it comes down to it, I will definitely not let Ruby become the Venerable of Blood, that would be way too dangerous. If it comes down to it, I will swallow that pendant.
Yeah, I can digest anything, right? If it comes down to it, I will swallow that pendant than letting her become the vessel of this psychopath. contemporary romance
Hmm… maybe that would be too reckless. I guess there could be better ways to handle this.
Perhaps not even herself can take out the pendant? Flayr and Noirenn had told me she never takes it out, not even when she takes bath with the girls in the spring.
Ah yes, we made a large community bath that is like a spring separate din sexes, of course. Though we usually sneak with Benladann when there is no one.
Anyways, going back to the topic, this whole thing seems pretty iffy, honestly, and I don't know what to really think about all of it. I really don't want her to become the vessel, but all the efforts of her family, the sacrifice of her mother, and all the purpose of her family's existence would be negated through such an action.
So it's hard to think about it too deep. And… Ugh, my head hurts over overthinking this so much.
But honestly, what else can I do? It is like that.
I will see what I can do when shit hits the fan… but for now, we have to think about a way to discuss this topic with Ruby without sounding rude, nor sounding as if we want to put our beliefs before her family's.
After all, she's not really our daughter, so we cannot really just force her to do things she doesn't want to.
Well, yes, we can, but I don't want to force a little girl to do what I want, that seems wrong to me.
Anyways, moving on to other important matters-
"Bueehh… I ate a lot… I think I am going to burst…" sighed Benladann.
Benladann ate too much now… Sigh, this girl is really a handful.
"Alright, let's go back to bed, you need to rest," I said.
I held her with my arms and gently carried her to bed as if she were my princess.
"Y-You don't have to carry me…" she sighed.
"Of course I have! I love carrying my beautiful Benladann." I said.
"Geez…"
I put her over the bed and she almost instantly fell asleep.
Well, I guess I can take a nap at her side and forget about all this stuff for a few more hours.
I rested near her, and then went to dreamland…
Dreamland…
FLASH!
As I slept, a flash of pink light filled my sight.
