Chapitre 21: Volume 1.20 Naming Ceremony (2)

Ares simply thwarted the dagger with his fist. But Myrene was not yet done. To Ares' surprise, he felt something was heading behind him. And at an incredible speed as well.

Myrene's eyes widened. 'Despite his build, he is still fast! The dagger could be thwarted again. I need to get the other one!'

However, to Myrene's shocked, Ares didn't blocked the dagger like what she perceived him to do.

{Remember Myrene, emotions during battle could result in two things. It can be an advantage or weakness to either you or your enemy. Learn to use your emotions to your advantage.}

"Ares!" Myrene ran towards Ares. But the second incoming dagger pierced right through his left eye. Myrene knew that it was not enough to kill him yet.

'Why did I run towards him? Did I want to save him since he didn't avoided that dagger?'

Ares' roar echoed through the whole place. Myrene stopped just a few steps in front of Ares. Ares who seemed in full rage now, raised his mace aiming to crashed Myrene.

{If the enemy showed weakness, do not lose the chance to use it in order to defeat them.}

If she got hit by that mace, she would certainly die. 'Ares,'

This attack... Myrene had the feeling that this would be the last one to end the battle.

With the wind still hiding beneath the darkness, she concentrated every bit of her energy to the dagger that Ares thwarted before. It all happened in a matter of seconds, just before his mace could hit her, the dagger flew directly pierced through his head.

{An ogre is a monster who have strong muscles that serves as their protection. However, it still had weak spots, such is its head, eyes and neck...}

From there, Myrene watched as Ares started to drop on the ground on his knees. From his head, a crack started to form. His body started to return to normal human form as smoke was visibly coming out to him.

Ares gave one last smile to Myrene who had tears dripping down her eyes. His smile looked like he had fulfilled his mission now. It was a smile of satisfaction and relief.

He started to speak though weak, Myrene could clearly hear him well because of their distance. "My emotions becomes your strength, Milady." His body slowly became ashes.

"Why? You can easily avoided that dagger earlier?" Myrene clenched both her fist. She could feel her nails digging through her flesh, but she didn't care anymore. Her eyes were fixated in that right sharp slit eye that remained to Ares. However, instead of answering her question, Ares said something different.

"Your tears is wasted for someone like me..."

{For someone like us, a peaceful death is not something we could wish to have.}

His body turned to a complete ashes now.

His last remaining right hand reached for Myrene one last time.

[Soul Bind has been activated: Do you wish to bind Ares, the High Orc soul magic to yours?

- Yes

- No ]

'Ares die...' But Myrene was completely distraught to notice anything. She remained static in her place. 'I killed, someone...'

'I have already killed so many monsters and wild beasts in these past two years but why...' She looked at her hands, which were trembling. She could feel the loud thumping of her heart. It was like everything part of her being palpated. 'I killed Ares.'

Clap! Clap! Clap!

With all her remaining strength left, Myrene

manipulated the dagger once again. It led to a certain person she despised the most right now.

However Frayah simply caught it with her right hand.

The next thing Myrene knew, she was floating in the air bound by the blood magic of Frayah. Frayah pulled Myrene towards her.

"Congratulations my daughter." Frayah said with a gentle smile on her face but her eyes held madness. "He must be a good teacher to receive tears from you." She caressed the tears that was falling from Myrene's eyes then licked it.

"It's a good thing that he died in your own hands. Or else, I won't be able to control myself and kill him." She continue caressed Myrene's cheeks. "Since I'm a jealous person. I don't want my daughter to shed tears to anyone other than for me." Her long fingernails sliced Myrene's left cheek.

But compared to the physical pain. From the wounds and injuries Myrene got... The feeling inside her was more painful and heavy.

'You have taken away both my mother and brother two years ago. And when you return you even take my teacher away!' Myrene wanted to scream but the blood magic of Frayah crawled to her mouth, making her unable to speak.

{Kill her.}

{She is the one who caused your sufferings.}

"Madame, I will announce her name now based on her performance."

Frayah was disrupted by the middle cloaked man.

"Of course," Frayah turned towards them.

"What will be the name of my daughter?"

"Her highness name will be One Hundred."

Frayah's expression turned cold. "One hundred? But her brother got at least the name Thirty?"

"I apologize Madame, but that is the result."

"Ah, then if it is something like that, there is nothing I can do for that."

"Do you wish to accompany her to her new house, Madame?"

"No. I only plan to accompany her if she is around forty and below."

"I understand, Madame." The middle cloaked man bowed down. "If there is nothing else, we will now transfer her."

"Can I speak to her for a moment?"

"Yes, Madame." The three cloaked men answered.

Frayah towards Myrene. "I told you that if you win, I will tell you what test your brother has taken?"

"I made a clone very similar to you. I made your brother believe that it was you. Ah. Both of you really have high mental fortitude, though he forget that woman, he remembered that you are his sister." Frayah smiled, sickeningly sweet.

"Since he was under my guidance just like what I have done to you. The expression he made when he plunged his own sword to your clone was really something unforgettable." Frayah inched her face closer to Myrene. "He really thought that he killed his own sister." Myrrh glinted in Frayah's purple eyes as if she was reminiscing such a wonderful memory. "He was also crying just like you! Ah my children are truly pitiful to cry on their naming ceremony!"

This time Frayah removed the blood covering Myrene's mouth.

"Frayah! I will kill you!" And Myrene who finally snapped struggled from the blood chains. However it was not enough, she already exhausted all of her magic from the fight earlier.

"Don't worry, my daughter. Once you earn a name around Forty, I will see you again. So survive until then, One Hundred."

Frayah started heading up the stairs, leaving the struggling Myrene who kept screaming curses at Frayah to the three cloaked men.

***

On Myrene's sixth birthday, Ares died for her naming ceremony.

Myrene gained her first name in the new world as One Hundred.

And she departed from the mansion heading to a new place with the three cloaked men.
