In The Northern Land -Last part-


    Velzard couldn''t hide her surprise and confusion as she saw Velgrind who had grown stronger


    unexpectedly.


    She felt happy for her younger sister''s growth and also rage as she was someone who was obstructing


    her path.


    Now Velzard could only acknowledge that Velgrind was an unavoidable hindrance for her to kill Guy.


    (Fine, Velgrind, I shall acknowledge you as my enemy.)


    Once Velzard acknowledged Velgrind, she decided to activate her hidden Ultimate Skill Envious Lord


    Leviathan .


    However, that was an improbable decision for Velzard''s normal train of thought..


    If she ended up showing her hidden ability as her trump card against Demon Lord Guy Crimson to


    Velgrind, it would lose its meaning as a trump card.


    Velzard who should be calm didn''t even realize such a simple thing.


    No, she couldn''t realize it. The order to kill was the only thing left in her mind because of Ultimate


    Dominion


    For Velzard to still be able to retain her ego was proof that she had a strong spirit.


    However, even with such a strong spirit Velzard couldn''t defy the order of Ultimate Dominion.


    After a momentary hesitation, Velzard unleashed des of envy towards Velgrind.


    Velgrind had realized quickly that she could fight her older sister Velzard on more than equal terms


    thanks to me God Sovereign Cthugha s peerless ability which had evolved to ovee the control


    over herself.


    After all, since she lost in terms of energy, if she just had an equal ability like before, it was clear her


    defeat was a matter of time.


    Even now she was still inferior in energy levels, but she could fight her sister equally in terms of energy


    efficiency. It was a very surprising evolution.


    And even about the energy


    (What is this connection "Soul Corridor"? As long as I wish for it, an unknown energy will flow into


    me......)


    Yes, through the "Soul Corridor" that had been constructed between her and Rimuru, it was possible for


    her to replenish her energy.


    Actually, Velgrind had lost the majority of her magic essence in "Alteration" into me God Sovereign


    Cthugha and its Ignition[1], but right after that, energy flowed into her from the "Soul Corridor", so her


    energy was almostpletely recovered.


    She didn''t think that she could lose,


    "I feel I won''t lose", that was Velgrind''s honest thoughts.


    However, at that moment, Velgrind noticed that her older sister''s expression changed.


    (Is iting!?)


    Velgrind put herself on guard.


    It seems her intuition was right. Velzard''s trump card was activated and sent towards Velgrind.


    Whiteout Absorb[2]!!


    A strike filled with everything Velzard has got.


    It was Velzard''s strongest attack whichbined her own ability Cessation Lost[3] and Patience Lord


    Gabriel ''s ability Solidification[4] with also Envious Lord Leviathan ''s ability Absorb[5] .


    With the attacking towards her, Velgrind elerated her own energy to the maximum in order to


    oppose it.


    Cardinal eleration!!


    Two pr lights, white and red collided.


    The northernnd experienced a severe earthquake, as the falling ice and snow repeatedly sublimated


    and froze with a death blizzard raging on.


    The victor was Velzard.


    Due to her new ability Envious Lord Leviathan , she had downgraded Velgrind''s abilities.


    Moreover, Velzard''s energy which should have been exhausted had recovered for some reason.


    The essence of Envious Lord Leviathan  was to degrade her opponent to below her level.


    Besides that, it also had the effect of absorbing the opponent''s energy......


    In addition to her absolute defense power and overwhelming Velgrind in terms of maximum energy,


    Velzard possessed energy absorption too.


    Now that her abilities had been downgraded, it seemed impossible for Velgrind to win.


    It''s the end, Velgrind. I shall praise you for growing stronger to be able to oppose me. However, the


    result won''t change. You aren''t a threat for me when I got serious. Now, I have downgraded your


    abilities by one level. It''s impossible for you to have an advantage against me anymore.


    That''s right. For Velzard, Velgrind wasn''t a threat even if she was an obstacle.


    Because of the opposition of their abilities, it would be impossible for Velgrind to break through


    Velzard''s defense.


    However


    But, Nee-san. I don''t need to defeat you. Besides, even if my abilities are downgraded, the original


    eleration ability has not been affected in any way. Since the abilities only support me, it will not


    affect me even if I lost them!


    Velgrind fearlessly dered.


    In fact, Velgrind''s abilities were focused on only one thing, that was eleration .


    Now that she had already circted her energy with full power, it wouldn''t affect her even if me God


    Sovereign Cthugha was sealed off.


    And the most important thing was


    (Hurry up, Guy. Be quick and release Nee-san from their control!)


    Velgrind didn''t have to defeat Velzard at all.


    Velgrind''s victory condition was to earn time until Guy releases Velzard from Ultimate Dominion.


    At that time, in Velzard''s inner world[6], Guy was about to finish the final touches


    Passing through multiple mental walls, Guy dove into the abyss of the heart.


    If he lost his focus, his ego would be swallowed up by Velzard''s soul and the Spiritual Dive would be


    broken.


    Then, Guy''s consciousness would disappear.


    On the other hand, if he pushed forward forcibly with all of his strength, he would destroy Velzard''s


    heart. If that happened, the result would be Velzard releasing all her energy after a rampage and a new


    "True Dragon" would be born somewhere in this world.


    Guy had to avoid that from happening.


    Despite being under pressure, Guy passed through the walls without being impatient.


    Finally, he found it.


    It was a young spirit of Velzard sitting hugging her knees.


    Yo, I''ve been looking for you, you know?


    Guy talked naturally and calmly.


    This was a critical moment. A single mistake would change Velzard''s action for the worse.


    What is it? What did youe here for? Are you here tough at me?


    Velzard asked while acting the way she appeared..


    No, I came to pick you up. Let''s go back quickly, Velzard.


    Guy shrugged his shoulders and answered.


    His reply irritated Velzard.


    It was always the same.


    Guy always spoke one-sidedly and arrogantly only to Velzard.


    He didn''t even care about Velzard and said things bluntly as if it was natural for him to do so.


    What is with you! Guy, you never listen to my opinion. It''s always, always me who had to be patient!


    As the Tuner, I had the role to guide this world that my older brother left behind. That''s why I always


    observed you so that you wouldn''t go on a rampage. Even though I really hated it...... Even Velgrind


    went freely to the ce of the man she loved and Veldora was so carefree and rampaged as he


    pleased. As for me, I endured it all the time, you know!? Everything was because you were


    acknowledged by my older brother! It was because you were the only being except for my older brother


    who could destroy this world. I couldn''t afford to leave your side, you know...... I''m the only one who


    needed to have patience...... And yet, you''re going to leave me behind. I will never forgive you for that.


    Why do you have to support that suspicious slime now!? It would have been fine if you lived quietly in


    this northernnd! You oppose my older brother even though there''s no way for you to win. Rather than


    letting you be killed by my older brother, I would rather be the one who will kill you with my own hands!


    Guy''s words sparked a fire inside Velzard''s frozen heart.


    As she raged, Velzard threw out all of her displeasure she felt until now.


    With all of her feelings, sheshed out at Guy with her fierce will.


    They became imaginary des which cut at Guy''s body, but Guy didn''t try to avoid the attack.


    He just stood there being exposed to the attacks without resistance as if he tried to ept all of


    Velzard''s anger andints.


    Besides...... You even acknowledged a human but you never acknowledged me...... What am I to


    you!? Even though I always tried my best, because I wanted to be acknowledged by you...... There''s no


    ce for me at all!


    Her attacks gradually became weak, and eventually, Velzard started to hit Guy''s chest feebly.


    Are you an idiot? I acknowledged you, you know? My partner is only you alone.


    I''m an idiot, you said!? I don''t want to be called that by you who will always do whatever as you


    please!


    I guess nothing can be done about it. If you don''t like it, can''t you just say it? You are too concerned


    about boring things, you know. Also, I lost to Veldanava a long time ago, okay? I''ll win next time!


    Before she realized it, Velzard had stopped hitting Guy.


    Then, she buried her face in Guy''s chest.


    ......You are the idiotic one. There''s no way you can win


    It might be impossible for me alone. So please cooperate with me. You will fight together with me,


    right? Right, Velzard?


    Velzard was speechless.


    Guy''s arrogance was too much.


    And, towards that very Guy-like words,


    I hate you. I really, really, really, really, really hate you. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you I


    hate you so much that I love you.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Velzard confessed with her whole heart.


    Guy''s response to that was very simple


    Yeah, I knew.


    So, a simple word as if he said something unimportant.


    So arrogant, you are really an unpleasant


    Right? That is proof that I''m me after all.


    Then, this makes me looks like an idiot for worrying all by myself......


    That''s right. I also think so, you know?


    ......Shouldn''t this be the part where you deny it and console me?


    Why? That''s bothersome. Never mind that, quickly cut off the control. If you don''t hurry up, I don''t think


    even Velgrind willst long.


    In fact, if the fight was prolonged, Velgrind would have been at a disadvantage.


    If the energy supply from the "Soul Corridor" between her and Rimuru ceased, Velgrind''s defeat would


    be a certainty.


    You''re unkind as usual towards me


    Oh, really? You''re my partner after all. I don''t have to be considerate with you cause we''re like a


    family, right?


    Partner...... Family...... Family!?


    Velzard''s face, which was buried in Guy''s chest, turned red instantly.


    In panic, Velzard jumped away from Guy.


    Guy remained calm and didn''t notice Velzard''s unrest.


    Let''s get the hell out of here.


    He said so without minding Velzard''s feelings.


    Although Velzard thought that Guy''s attitude was a bit disappointing, she was relieved that Guy


    responded to her as usual.


    There was already no hesitation in her heart and light of a strong will returned to her eyes.


    She then focused her mind in order to resist Ultimate Dominion that had been cast on her.


    Understood, I''ve also steeled myself. But, it won''t be easy to cut off my brother''s control......


    There''s a way. It seems that the Control had been established using angel series'' skill as the key and


    lock[7]. Then, if you neutralize it with a demon series'' skill, you can erase that lock. If you do so, no


    matter how powerful his control is, you can resist it.


    Guy answered without hesitation.


    In his words, there was a powerful confidence that Velzard could do it.


    You make it sound so easy. Fine, I shall meet your expectations.


    And so, Velzard overcame her own hesitation and confronted her brother''s curse deep inside her


    consciousness.


    In response to the change of Velzard''s mind, the Ultimate Skills etched in her soul began to fight each


    other for domination of her soul.


    As Velzard''s will dictated, Envious Lord Leviathan bit off Patience Lord Gabriel . However Patience


    Lord Gabriel stubbornly resisted and tried to protect the lock of the control with its strong defensive


    power.


    The fight in Velzard''s inner world seemed to fall into a stalemate, but Guy wouldn''t allow that.


    Velzard, I''ll help you just a bit.


    Guy said so and activated his imitation of the unbelievable ability he saw just a while ago.


    It was "Alteration", which helped Velgrind ovee the control and evolve her skill.


    Question. Will you synthesize Ultimate Skill Patience Lord Gabriel with Envious Lord Leviathan and


    activate "Alteration"? YES/NO


    The "Voice of the World" echoed inside Velzard''s mind.


    (Is this what Guy means as help!? But, let''s believe in him for this.)


    Velzard answered YES without hesitation.


    Confirmed. Individual: "Ice Dragon Velzard''s Ultimate Skill Patience Lord Gabriel and Envious Lord


    Leviathan are synthesized and evolved into Ultimate Skill Ice God Sovereign Cthulhu[8] .


    At the same moment that the voice echoed inside her inner world, the lock binding Velzard''s heart


    crumbled and disappeared.


    The lock of the heart that she could never break no matter how desperate she tried to resist it until now


    had been smashed to pieces easily as if it was ss.


    Velzard and her skills had united splendidly and beautifully.


    (This is the mental state that Velgrind reached!? Andthe strength Guy had given to me. If I have this


    ability, there will be no one who could bind me down.)


    And so, Velzard received it as a matter of course.


    If she and Guy banded together, they would have no opponents in this world.


    See, it was simple, right?


    Guy''s voice, that was so arrogant to the extent of loathsome, echoed in her mind.


    Yeah, it was...... I really look like an idiot......


    You think so? But I don''t hate it, you know? It''s a part of you too.


    Velzardughed a bit due to Guy''s words.


    The young Velzard was nowhere to be seen now.


    She returned to her originaldylike appearance, beautiful and graceful.


    With a bashful smile that could charmed everyone, she quietly muttered I''m home.[9] to Guy.


    Guy''s consciousness instantly returned to his body.


    A bit of impatience could be seen in his expression.


    He was the one who did it, but he was astonished by Velzard''s rapid changes due to "Alteration".


    (Rather, what exactly is that? That wasn''t on the level of ability modification. Moreover, the only thing I


    did was activate it, I actually got the impression that something else had done it as a proxy...... As if it


    had anticipated that I would do so......)


    To Guy who seemed that he was about to drift into his sea of deep thoughts,


    You''re back? What happened to my older sister?


    He heard Velgrind''s voice asking him.


    Ahh, the control was released safely. She will wake up soon.


    At the same time, Guy answered, Velzard woke up.


    I have caused some trouble for you, Guy. And, Velgrind, I have shown you my unsightly side and I


    apologize for insulting Rudra.


    She said so and lowered her head towards Guy and Velgrind.


    For Ane-sama to apologize to me, I must have gone crazy. But, I''m so d. It would be impossible for


    me to tolerate that Nee-san was being controlled by someone after all.


    It seems I have made you worry. But putting aside whether Velda is Nii-san or not, it''s true that his


    strength isparable to Nii-san, you know?


    Humph. Even if it is so, if he''s not Nii-san No, even if he was Nii-san, I won''t change my mind that I


    have to defeat Velda. Velda is Rudra''s enemy after all.


    You''re so straightforward, heh, Velgrind...... I''m a bit jealous.


    The sisters threw a straight gaze at each other and confirmed each other intention.


    Guy called out the two people with Never mind that, let''s end this quickly. .


    Guy had already returned to hisbat form while the two were talking.


    And the three of them turned their sight on the girl, who was Veldora''s opponent.


    The Hero Chloe No, towards Manas: Lucia who had taken over her body.


    Howeversimultaneously with her de shed, Chloe''s body split into two.


    No, that was just an illusion.


    The de of will released from inside Chloe had interfered with the real world which is why such an


    image was shown to those in this ce.


    Veldora had been cut here and there, but he had not received a fatal injury.


    The two sisters were relieved to see that.


    Guy had his eyes glued towards Chloe


    (I see, as I expected, it had been concealed)


    A thin smile appeared on Guy''s lips.


    Guy had realized.


    Lucia''s extinction and Chloe''s victory.


    And so Just now, the fight in the northernnd had ended.
