The Story of the Fate of the Digital Series

Volume Four: Castlevania (7)

Just when she was about to lose consciousness, a gunshot rang out——

Accompanied by the screams of the filthy beast, Mina, who came back to her senses, fell to the ground.

After regaining my breathing, I raised my face desperately, and saw red and black thorns coming out of thin air, restraining a part of the beast's body.

"It's okay, leave the dirty beast to me to deal with."

It was a dark-haired young woman about her own age.What impressed Mina was that the black-haired woman had a pair of red eyes that were exactly the same as those of the vampire monster.She put away her two guns, pulled out a single-handed sword from her back, and walked towards the beast with a calm expression.

Could it be that she intends to destroy the foul beast in close combat?Mina looked at this strange woman who suddenly appeared in a little astonishment.

I saw the strange woman's red pupils emitting an abnormal light, and then, the arms of the beast were turned, twisted, and completely torn off by an invisible force.

She has the same ability as the vampire beast...

Mina's expression was even more astonished. This was the first time she met a human with supernatural powers.

The black-haired woman seems to have long been used to fighting foul beasts.When the filthy beast screamed in pain due to the loss of its arms, the black-haired woman rushed towards it and pointed the blade at the filthy beast's defenseless chest.

In the next instant, the blade pierced straight into its chest.After a brief pause, the black-haired woman swiped the blade vigorously again.The filthy beast's chest was scratched with a deep wound by the sharp blade, and a beating and glowing heart could be vaguely seen deep in the wound.

Pulling out a sword, the black-haired woman quickly plunged her arm deep into the beast's wound, and pulled the heart out from the depth of the wound.

After losing its heart, the huge body of the dirty beast crashed to the ground.Then, the heart tightly held by the black-haired woman and the corpse of the foul beast quickly dissipated into smoke...

...It's a completely easy battle.

"...you saved me, thank you very much..."

To the savior in front of her, Mina said words of gratitude.

"Red hair... are you the one the vampire beast is looking for?"

After simply looking at Mina, the black-haired woman looked at her with a flat expression.

"You know the vampire monster...?"

Mina was even more surprised by the woman's answer.

"I just met by chance, and then temporarily cooperated to fight against the enemy. He, like me, is looking for the lost companion..."

"Of course, a 'kind' Digimon in the castle told me that I should pay more attention to a red-eyed vampire or a red-haired girl. The owner of this castle seems to be 'fancy' on you."

Before Mina could raise her own question, the black-haired woman continued to explain and answer.

"Is that so... Mina, Mina Albarea, this is my name. What about you? Your savior."

In short, it is better to know more about the savior first.

"Orpheus, Elizabeth Orpheus..."

Although meeting for the first time, Elizabeth can see that Mina is a very smart and strong girl, and can keep calm in a crisis.Few ordinary people can do what she does, maybe she has experienced different encounters in the past.However, Elizabeth still couldn't figure out why the 'Earl' would take a fancy to her, and what was so special about her?

"You're hurt, and this might make you feel better."

Noticing that Mina had several scars on her body, Elizabeth stretched out the thorns wrapped around her left wrist towards her.Green gentle light was released from the black thorns. Under the light, all the wounds on Mina's body healed and disappeared, and the original tired expression was also swept away.

"This is thorn quality control equipment, which has different functions and can be very useful in battle. But the healing ability of thorns can only restore external damage, physical exertion, and abnormal status. But for internal damage, or bone aid Broken, it won't work."

...It was seen.Although Elizabeth looks cold, she is actually very caring and gentle.

"As long as you don't exercise violently, there is no problem with general actions, but you may have to endure the pain all the time, shouldn't it be a problem?"

With that said, Elizabeth picked up the pistol that fell on the ground and handed it to Mina.

"The 'Mizli' was one of my favorite weapons and I wouldn't mind lending it to you."

It seems that the weapon I picked up actually belonged to Elizabeth, no wonder it is so special.

"I can still bear this level of pain... Thank you for your generous help, Miss Elizabeth."

"Just call my name."

"Okay. Actually... besides the blood-sucking monsters, my friends were also imprisoned because I was implicated. I am very worried about their safety."

It will be more difficult for Mina, who is physically injured and unable to exercise too much, to explore the castle alone.After witnessing Elizabeth's ability with her own eyes, Mina hopes that she can help each other with her, so as to achieve the goal of saving her friends.Therefore, Mina expressed her thoughts realistically.

"Elizabeth is also looking for friends who have been scattered. We can help each other and find our companions together. In fact, in addition to dangerous beasts, there are many traps that test brain power in the castle. For the traps that test brain power, I can help solve them Puzzle..."

"I can accept your proposal. But how much do you know about the reason why you were 'selected' to Castlevania?"

Elizabeth will not help a stranger for no reason, she wants to find the answer from Mina, she does not think Mina is ignorant of her own situation.

"Yes, you also have the right to know the truth."

Seeing the other party's intentions, Mina smiled slightly.

"Perhaps my answer will not satisfy you completely. However, I hope you can also tell me where you are from and why you came to the castle? After all, the city lord's goal is me. In order to deliberately put me in a desperate situation, even at the expense of those around me People. But you and I have never met, but you came here with scattered companions. Without an important mission, ordinary people would never choose to come to a different world full of dangers. Judging from your skills, you seem to be used to it Fight the filthy beast."

Really sharp, although it is the first time we meet, this name is Mina really has the advantage of insight into reality.It really looks like someone in my impression...

"If you refuse to answer, I will selectively forget the question just now. Of course, I will tell you the truth you want to know."

"No, we all have a right to know the truth about each other."

Of course, Elizabeth did not refuse the topic of Mina.

"Before I get the truth, I need to wait for the right time to explain everything. Does the wound still hurt...?"

Then while acting together, Elizabeth did not forget to care about Mina's physical condition.

"It's all right, I can bear a little pain. The healing power of thorns is very good, thank you, Elizabeth."

"...By the way, the blood-sucking monster and you are not an ordinary companionship, right?"

Still a little concerned about this special pair of companions.

"Actually, he is my partner... He just chose to separate due to some reasons, so I handed him the 'contract certificate' representing the partner..."

The partner is really so 'special'... Could it be that as long as the Digimon partner is a blood-sucking monster, will it bring some kind of misfortune to the human partner?No, that's just my own random thinking, not to mention what happened to me doesn't represent the same for others.But compared to that bastard 'Count', Mina's partner is not a Digimon worth hating at all.

"Did any unpleasant things happen to you in the past? In fact, I also had the same experience..."

Maybe it's "sympathy for each other", Elizabeth is willing to listen to the story between Mina and her partner.

"That's a long story, and I'm glad you're willing to listen."

Perhaps because Elizabeth's eyes and personality are very similar to vampire monsters, more importantly, she is very reassuring.So Mina didn't mind telling the unrelated person in front of her what happened to her.After all, she needed to confide in her depression for a year.

So, Mina told her story...

(nine)

In the 'egg' of chaos sealed in the abyss, 'it' gradually wakes up from a light sleep.

In the dream of light sleep --- that was a long time ago, the world still refuses the birth of 'it' and denies the existence of 'it'.

It doesn't matter, you can't give up your desires; you need to satisfy your desires; you made me born...

"Pray" to me, and I will realize a "miracle"; respond to "pray", and I will "relieve" the world.

There is no sin but me, for I am sin.

The only one worth hating is me, and the only one worth hating is me.

I will 'relief' the world, I will achieve 'miracles'.

Hence, 'it' is expecting.but---

It feels like something has been tediously changed.That's right, I seem to have been asleep for thousands of years.The 'it' that gradually woke up knew everything almost in an instant.

Due to the sudden incident, it just came to its senses that 'it' is already in a strange world.

It doesn't matter, my essence will not change, here is the 'cradle' that breeds 'miracles'.It is an 'egg'-like place that hides infinite possibilities.

'It' sleeps lightly while absorbing the inflowing 'evil'. The 'vessel' is full, and the growing 'it' is waiting for the time to come.

Waiting for the moment of 'birth', 'it' perceives the existence of 'her', very suitable compatibility.

[...You, deny the 'evil' of all things...? ]

Sneaking into the deepest part of her consciousness, 'it' asked.

...I... never deny 'evil'...just like 'good', 'evil' should be needed...

Because, the world itself needs the existence of 'chaos'...

Ah, someone affirmed himself.Respond to her, if it is now, it will definitely be successful.

[...accept me...I want to be born...in a world that accepts me...]

You must be very suitable container.

[...I am 'all evil in this world', I can perform any 'miracle'...]

You will 'convert' me, and I will become the new 'dominant'.

In the warm 'egg', 'it' takes shape.Countless "prayers" entrusted in the distant past will soon be fulfilled now.

Turn into a prayer-like existence to realize all hopes.

The rest——just wait for the 'container' to arrive in a new form.

I am an 'Adversary' (Adversary), I will become a 'Savior' (Savior)...
