Reunion, And Then
I've erected a defensive ward, just to be safe. I know that your father won't harm you but..
Jilbagias erected a defensive ward around Lyla.
It's magic to pacify the wandering soul. Soundproof barrier. While we're at it, let's reinforce the door with a protective spell bone barrier should do the job. And done!
After the last confirmation while checking the minute details. Lyla would never have expected that a prince like him would be willing to go this far for her.
Why
Lyla muttered reflexively.
Why Are you willing to go this far for me?
As much as she hated it, she was very well aware of the fact that Jilbagias was a Good Person.
Alas, he had no obligation to go this far for her. Lyla felt that being welcomed under his wings and treated warmly was enough for her.
Even the matter regarding her father, he didn't have to tell her and none of this would happen.
Even if she was the daughter of the dragon who almost killed him and happened to be taken into his camp(maybe unwillingly), she was nothing but a reward to redeem her father's sin.
He was the prince of the Demon Kingdom. Someone who might rule over the Demon Kingdom.
That was the reason why Lyla was at a loss for the reason why he gave such good treatment to a worthless girl like her.
Jilabias' expression turned into that of frustration, he stopped moving upon hearing Lyla's question.
It was as if her question was a barbed knife that gouged his heart.
You might have heard about me falling in love at first sight with an undead.
Yes.
It was an open secret in Jilbagias' camp. Since Platy ordered a gag order, this matter might be a secret to the outsider too.
Jilbagias was looking to the side with a face that looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated to say it.
To be honest I'm really happy when she's there. I know that she has always been a friendly and cheerful girl when she was alive. But
A shadow cast in his eyes.
She's clearly changed. Almost to the point that she Doesn't look like a former human. That's just how necromancy is. It might be able to call the soul of a deceased person but, they won't be the same as when they're alive
But, if time hadn't passed that long since her death.
Even that change can be suppressed to a minimum.
Jilbagias' eyes moved timidle to Lyla.
The truth is I also think that it might be better for both of us if I never mentioned this matter to you.
Lyla gasped upon hearing that.
Because she thought the same way a while ago.
But If I turn a blind eye to this, I might lose this chance forever. A reunion with your father which is as close as you can get before he died is definitely something irreplaceable for you.
"is what I think" Part was told in an almost vanished voice.
You really Care So much about me
Tha
Yet my throat felt as if it was clogged again when I was about to say "Thank you".
"I have to say it!" Lyla got flustered. Lyla had already heard from Jilbagias' subordinate that his encounter with her father was simply an unlucky coincidence as he happened to stumble into her father's hiding place due to a goblin's official mistake in the document, thus causing her father to ambush him.
He just fought back when he got ambushed by the traitor! You could say that Father just got the tables turned against him and slain as a result. And yet, he still shows such consideration for the daughter of that traitor.
I have to thank him! Otherwise, I'm nothing more than an ungrateful girl!
Tha, nk
You don't have to force yourself to thank me.
Yet, he dismissed it with a light tap on her shoulder.
When she raised her face, she saw Jilbagias smiling lightly with an apologetic look on his face.
Yes.
After muttering so, she went back to focusing on the formation made with powdered bone.
Here were go.
The magical power of darkness was surging up from Jilbagias' body.
Aorat Teihos Po Horizui
Jilbagias' chant resounded in the barrier.
The gate to the spirit realm opened up.
Lyla's sense faintly drilled into the hole in the world inside the barrier of bone powder.
Inirie Ne Woz Fapana
And then, Jilbagias thrust his hand made from the magical power of darkness into the seemingly bottomless hole.
Faravugi
And called that name.
It's coming.
From the other side of the hole.
A presence that is dear to her.
Yet at the same time, she felt it was really violent
She felt impending danger was about to pierce the invisible gate of the spirit realm.
An undisguised killing intent.
ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!
The head of a dragon clad in magical power of darkness, unlike the figure of her father in her memories, appeared from the gate of the spirit realm.
When he was rushing at Jilbagias, trying to swallow the latter whole, the barrier stopped him. Since his body was too big to be taken out of the gate, he looked like a severed head with bad taste Lyla covered her mouth as she accidentally felt that way.
GRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Jilbagias, who resumed the chant for the defensive ward, groaned as he poured his magical power of darkness into the barrier.
LYLA NOW! I CAN'T SUPPRESS HIM FOREVER!
Lyla snapped out of her daze upon hearing Jilbagias' shout.
This is no time to be scared!
FATHER!
Lyla mustered her willpower and called out to the spirit of her father. And yet
ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!
He kept ramming his muzzle onto the barrier while baring his fangs.
He was completely berserk.
KILLKILLKILLYOU EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
F-FATHER!! IT'S ME!!
ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!
The air in the barrier trembled. Completely unthinkable of something without a corporeal body. The soundproof barrier might break first before the barrier that kept his soul in check
RETURN EVERYONE! RETURN MY WIFE! DARK DRAGON, DEMON RACE, I WON'T FORGIVE YOUUUUUU!
Faravugi roared at Jilbagias, looking at the latter with eyes that were filled with madness.
Grrrrr
Crap.
HE'S ABOUT TO USE BREATH!
Jilbagias shouted to warn Lyla, his face drenched in a cold voice.
If he did that, using the breath of light while his spirit body was formed by the magical power of darkness
His soul would vanish!!
FATHER LISTEN TO ME! IT'S ME!
Lyla was waving her hands desperately before to attract her father's attention. But, Faravugi was completely ignoring her.
Is it because I am in my human form?
Is that why he doesn't recognize me even when I called him?
The sadness that she felt seeing her father's insane figure and the failed attempt of communicating with necromancy welled up at once Making Lyla's emotion explode at once.
Return everyoneeeeeee Return my daughter, my Lyla!
Yet of all things, he called out her name right before herself.
Father! I'm telling you, I'm right here!
Once Lyla's helplessness broke its' limit
Her sadness turned into that anger.
Come to think of it, Daddy has always been like this even when he was alive.
Ignoring the fundamental matter, oblivious of others!!
YOUR DAUGHTER IS RIGHT BEFORE YOU!!
Lyla shouted as she glared angrily at Faravugi.
That's why, please!!
DADDY I HATE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
At the same time, she put her emotion into her scream.
A faint glow of the magical power of light radiated from her mouth.
The next moment, that pillar of magical power of light blasted the barrier and Faravugi's spirit body.
It was accompanied by a sound akin to hot iron dipped into water. Geh! said Faravugi as his head was thrown back due to the blow from the pillar of light, Jilbagias turned around and looked at Lyla with a shocked look on his face.
Then Lyla covered her mouth, looking like she had no idea what she just did a moment ago.
Can a dragon Use breath even in their human form!?
W-Well?
Lyla cocked her head in bewilderment upon hearing Jilbagias puzzled question.
It's not Well
Jilbagias muttered half dumbfoundedly After seeing the breath from a moment ago.
Surely The breath was weak like that of a baby dragon but
He never heard of dragons using breath in their human form. Lyla exchanged quizzical glances with Jilbagias.
Ly La?
And.
Their silence was followed by a voice akin to creaking metal.
Father!?
Upon a closer look, the soul of the father inside the barrier shook his head as if he just woke up from a slumber. There was smoldering patches on his face, maybe the trace of evaporating magical power of darkness but
That voice Lyla?
His sanity had mostly returned. And he seems to be really surprised to see Lyla.
Yes Dad It's me What a relief
At that moment, Lyla felt power sapped from her body and she fell on her butt.
Where is This place?
The Demon King Castle.
Jilbagias replied as he stepped forward.
I'm the one who awakened your soul with necromancy. O patriarch of the White Dragons, Faravugi.
YOU!
Faravugi bared his fangs at Jilbagias.
Just when Lyla was wondering if her father was going to unleash his rage again she saw As if her father was confused by something despite his rage.
It was supposed to be impossible since he just got pulled out from Spirit Realm a while ago but
No, it was exactly because he just got pulled out that this happened.
He is, bewildered Or Something along that?
Demon Prince Jilbagias, was it?
Faravugi spoke really carefully as if his fury from a while ago was a lie.
That's right.
Jilbagias nodded in confirmation with a strained face.
What's the meaning of this?
Faravugi asked that question in a low voice.
You owe me an explanation for the last thing I saw before I died, Jilbagias..
,,, Lyla cocked her head, wondering what her father was talking about.
Jilbagias' body stiffened upon hearing that.
You, are a Demon Race. And yet
Faravugi's eyes squinted in suspicion as he fired his question.
How can you use Holy attributes?
