How to Survive as a Member of the Meteor Sword Family Chapter 39

How to survive as a loser in the Yoo Seong-geom family

Episode 39

Isabelle VS Violet (2)

Kkuddeuk-

In an instant, pitch-black smoke enveloped Isabelle, suffocating her body.

The veins on Isabelle’s face stood out as blood rushed to her from the overwhelming force that she could not possibly resist.

“Ugh… … .”

I hadn’t noticed it at all until now, but now that I’ve actually encountered it, I think I can vaguely understand it.

The principle of the power Violet uses is similar to that of the meteor shower, but what is inherent within it is closer to the evil spirits emitted by demons.

“Ugh… … Why on earth does someone who is a pharmacist have such evil powers… … .”

Isabelle gritted her teeth as she thought about the test subjects tied up outside.

Most of them were ‘human’ and they were all equally pitiful people. Although it was only for a short time, Isabelle could clearly hear their cries.

– Please kill us. Please.

They were fused with demons and writhing in pain, and despite having lost their reason, they wanted to die.

Poor, pitiful beings.

Violet, who created such beings under the pretext of medical experimentation, was so disgusting that it made me sick.

“As a descendant of the Hades family, and as a proud knight of the Hades Knights, I simply cannot forgive you.”

Isabelle, her eyes red with anger, glared at Violet. Violet shrugged her shoulders at the murderous intent emanating from her eyes.

“Are you doing this because you saw the chimera outside? Well… … From a general perspective, it’s a bad thing, but everyone has their own circumstances.”

“Don’t talk nonsense! We are the proud Aster family that must walk the path of righteousness!”

Knock knock knock

Isabelle’s muscles bulged slightly, and the pressure of the black fog that had been pressing down on her eased slightly.

“Wow, you thought you could solve that with brute force? That’s amazing! Even the boar of Hades couldn’t even try at first.”

Violet clapped her hands in an exaggerated manner.

“Don’t put your dirty mouth in my father’s name!”

Clang- Isabelle fell to the floor and straightened up with a shout.

“I can’t forgive you. How dare someone like you take the position of head of one of the four great families.”

“Miss Isabelle, are you really going to attack me? You might end up dying if you do?”

“I will do anything, even if it means dying. To punish the evil beings who disrupt the order of the world. That is the duty of a knight.”

Isabelle, who was spitting out her words, picked up the spear that had been rolled up in the corner.

A thick aura emanated from her body as she aimed her spear at Violet.

‘Why on earth does the young master treat people like this… … No, even though his father and even the head of the household knows about this, why on earth… … .’

A strong question arose in Isabelle’s mind.

It wasn’t just because she lost the fight against him that she decided to follow Jin.

Because I was drawn to his convictions as he confidently spoke in front of hundreds of people about his goal of conquering the Demon Realm.

“Let’s stop here, my lord. Isabel, you too.”

However, seeing him trying to defend Violet made her resolve waver.

“My lord… … still can’t let go of that dirty, rascally nature? Why, did you promise to receive the power of eternal life from that evil witch, the medicine potion… no, even?”

“Damn it, that’s not it! And a witch! A medicinal herb… … .”

Jin, who was about to mediate the situation, unknowingly shut his mouth.

Drumroll-

I instinctively turned my head and saw Violet, who was standing next to me, with her head bent at a right angle.

“A witch… … That’s right. I’m a witch. And a witch who holds a very strong demon in her heart.”

It’s f*cked.

It was a thought that flashed through Jin’s mind in an instant.

For Violet, who sealed the devil herself and took on a curse, the word witch is a title that is as harsh as a sore scale.

There weren’t even ten people in the entire continent who could tell her that story and come out of it alive.

“That’s right. I’m a witch. Among demons, I’m a witch with a certain reputation, known as the Witch of Reverse.”

“Are you revealing your identity?”

“What if I reveal it?”

Violet, with her head tilted at a right angle, showed her expressionless face and pure white teeth. A chilling fear filled the laboratory.

“I will kill you. Even though you are a master of medicine, one of the four pillars of the Yuseong Swordsmanship, and a person respected by all, since you made a contract with the devil, to me, you are someone who must be killed and eliminated.”

Isabelle, with her spear in front, rushed towards Violet. Whoosh- The smoke surrounding Violet began to change into the shapes of various insects.

“This is… … You’re even using the retinue that only high-ranking witches can use!”

“Yes, my cute babies.”

Violet answered coldly and waved her hand at Isabelle.

Couple couple couple-

A swarm of flies transformed into spears and flew towards Isabelle.

Kwasijik – Isabelle’s spear blade broke instantly as it collided with a swarm of flies.

No, it would be more accurate to say that it was eaten.

“How can a mere witch subservient to the devil have such power… …!!!”

Isabelle, who was taken aback, quickly retreated using her counter-force while repelling the attack.

“A witch… Miss Isabelle. Do you know that?”

But Violet’s men flew in, aiming for her nape faster than she could retreat.

“Even your father, the boar, wouldn’t irritate me to that extent.”

It was a killing spree without a single moment of hesitation.

‘Oops’

Since I was floating in the air, I couldn’t move freely. If I continued like this, my head would be blown away by Violet’s followers.

The black waves split into four and pressed down on all sides of her. There was nowhere to escape.

‘Still, I have no regrets. I will uphold the duty of a knight until the end and face death.’

However, it was just a shame that this fact could not be revealed to the outside world. It was at that moment that Isabelle, sensing death, tightly closed her eyes.

Kwarrrrrrung-

The dark basement was brightly lit up with a loud thunderclap.

Isabelle slowly opened her eyes and saw a man blocking her path.

Crackle- crackle-

It was Jin who had brainwaves wrapped around both fists.

He saw a few charred insects falling to his feet.

“I told you to stop.”

Jin turned his head, lowered his eyes, and spoke to Isabelle in a cold voice. His usual playful demeanor was nowhere to be found.

Isabelle, who was unconsciously overwhelmed by his atmosphere, began to stutter and speak.

“Why on earth did you come to me…? Weren’t you on the same side as that witch?”

“On the same side? Yes. We are on the same side. But don’t judge the world so dichotomously. Everyone has their own circumstances.”

“But that witch is definitely… …!!!”

“Witch… … Witch… … Miss Isabelle kept calling me that until the very end.”

Knock knock knock-

Violet’s head snapped to the other side. Her eyes were gradually losing focus.

“Your Majesty, please stop here! Doesn’t Isabelle know the whole story!”

“That means, my lord, you know all the details.”

“At least I know why Your Majesty is so angry. I will try to persuade Isabelle, so let’s stop here.”

“Hmm… … .”

Violet stared at Jin with unfocused eyes.

Jin, who had turned off the brainwashing device on both hands, turned around and grabbed Isabelle’s shoulders, who had an expression on her face as if she had no idea what was going on.

“Listen carefully. Although the Lord Jeonju is very twisted and cruel and seems like a crazy person… … .”

As we went back, Jin’s voice gradually became smaller and smaller, almost like a whisper.

Violet burst out laughing without realizing it at the sight of Jin sneaking a peek at her.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere had relaxed, but her head, which had been strangely bent, and her unfocused eyes had also returned to their original state.

Jin, sensing that her anger had subsided somewhat, quickly continued speaking.

“He is also the one who made the greatest sacrifice for the Yuseong Sword Family. As your lord, I will speak… … No, I will give you an order, but do not rush in recklessly until after you have heard the whole story.”

“What… … are you talking about?”

Isabelle muttered absentmindedly, her eyes fixed not on Jean’s face but on the cold floor of the laboratory.

Several of Violet’s followers, none of whom she had been able to properly defeat, were lying around, charred black.

In the past few days, Jin has grown another step.

‘Clearly… … There wasn’t much of a difference between us until a few days ago. How is this… … .’

How on earth did a witch who made a contract with the devil rise to the position of head of one of the four major families?

How did you become so strong in such a short time? No, did I become weak? Am I just a frog in a well?

My head was a jumble of thoughts, tangled in a thousand different ways.

A single word from Jin, full of mana, rang in her ears as she was confused.

“Strictly speaking, the Lord of Medicine did not make a pact with the devil.”

“Then how do you explain that evil power? It was clearly a power closer to magic than mana. And the people outside… … .”

“It’s a long explanation, but the Lord of Medicine sacrificed himself to trap the demon within his body.”

Lock up the devil?

Sacrificing yourself?

These were stories that Isabelle could not understand.

As if to add further explanation, Violet, who had returned to her original bright and smiling expression, opened her mouth.

“If you are a member of the Yoo Seong Geum Ga, you must have heard of the Four Great Evil Gods, right?”

“……yes.”

The four great evil spirits.

Meteor Sword. No, it is the name of a disaster that anyone living on the continent would have heard at least once in their life.

The struggle of life and death.

Iscariot of betrayal.

Baalzebub of gluttony.

Zodiac of Madness.

The last of them to appear on the continent was the life and death of Bango, who was defeated by Idrion Stormchaser, the first head of the Storm Sword Family, 500 years ago.

The whereabouts of the rest remain unknown for hundreds of years.

I just vaguely guess that he’s somewhere on the continent growing his power.

A dimension different from that of ordinary demons.

It was clear that the moment even one of those named Evil Gods showed up again, the continent would be turned into a wasteland.

“I am the one who sealed Baalzebub, the glutton who appeared in Whisen Castle 120 years ago, inside my body.”

Violet, who had come closer, tapped Isabelle’s nose as she sat down. Isabelle swallowed in surprise.

It was only 120 years ago that a demon of the highest level descended upon Whisen Castle. This is something that is not recorded in any history book.

As Isabelle opened her mouth in surprise at hearing this story for the first time, Violet continued speaking with a bitter smile.

“In return, I was cursed to live forever at all costs. The moment I died, Baalzebub would be released from the world.”

Isabelle’s eyes, which had raised without her knowing, caught a glimpse of Violet’s shadow moving behind her.

A black shadow of unfathomable presence, filled with pure evil.

Isabelle’s limbs began to tremble involuntarily at the sight of such a collection of pure malice that it was almost enough to make her lose her mind.

“Oh my, it’s difficult to do this with just a trace… … Look. The young master is so dignified. I think it would be better for the timid Miss Isabelle to stay out of this matter.”

Violet lightly teased Isabelle, but it fell on deaf ears.

That’s because Violet’s presence was so big and enormous. It was like the feeling I got from my father, Velkan, who had unleashed all his power.

“No. I need Isabelle’s help with this. I don’t think I can handle it alone.”

This time?

The conversation between Jin and Violet is full of things we don’t know.

As if he understood her inner thoughts.

Jin calmed Isabelle down by lightly blowing mana on her trembling shoulders and slumping down on the floor, meeting her gaze.

“Do you know why our first destination is the Magic Kingdom?”

“That’s because the young master wants to come into contact with the advanced civilization of the Magical Nation… … .”

“That’s just the superficial reason. There’s another real reason.”

“If you tell me the real reason… … ?”

“About three years ago, Baalzebub’s ego that was sealed inside the Lord’s body escaped.”

“I was planning to abandon this body and transfer my consciousness to that homunculus. Fortunately, I was able to take away most of my power.”

Violet continued Jin’s words and pointed to the body in the glass case. Isabelle, who had just discovered it, muttered in disbelief.

“Is that… a homunculus? The creation of artificial life is clearly a forbidden magic on the continent. How can this be… ?”

Now I understand.

The test subjects outside are byproducts left over from the process of creating homunculi.

When Isabelle realized this and glared at Violet, Violet shrugged her shoulders with a calm expression.

“I’d rather be remembered as a villain in history than Baalzebub being resurrected, wouldn’t I?”

“that…….”

Isabelle’s values ​​began to become confused.

Is that really the right way? Is it right for a person to seal a demon while inflicting such pain on another person?

Violet’s actions were clearly at odds with the chivalry she knew.

However, considering the countless lives that would be sacrificed the moment the evil spirit was resurrected, Violet’s actions were clearly the right thing to do.

‘How should I act?’

Violet, looking at Isabelle’s distressed face, added softly.

“Oh, just to ease Miss Isabelle’s hesitation a little, let me say this. The humans used to create homunculi are vicious criminals who even attack the Hell King’s Army. Even so, they don’t really hurt innocent people.”

If she hadn’t witnessed the brutal scene earlier, she wouldn’t have known. To Isabelle, who had already seen those who were in rags and barely breathing, the story was completely unconvincing.

Violet, who was touching the glass case containing her new body, muttered softly, as if she didn’t know Isabelle’s true feelings.

“The longest I can hold out is three months. The moment I break down, he’ll regain all his strength, so I have to get him back to where he was before that happens.”
