Bab 6: Chapter: 6
Chapter 6:
[-200 Hp]
Holy Fuck! That was scary! I just had to float here and let that killing curse hit me or my entire ruse would have been blown! I read so much fanfiction in my past life that I didn't know what to expect from that spell. I was clenching my teeth and waiting for some tremendous pain to wash over me. Instead I felt nothing at all! I didn't know whether to be thankful or disappointed…
[The killing curse does spiritual damage. Therefore it will not inflict pain.]
'Thanks for not letting me know about that earlier System!' I shouted in my head. A little heads up would have been nice.
[Your welcome ;) ]
'That was sarcasm!'
[I know.]
"The killing curse… It did nothing…"
"What is she!?"
"Lord Voldemort, what do we do!?"
I'm honestly blown away by how well my ruse has been going so far. The Death Eaters around just saw me survive the unsurvivable, and now they're all scared and turning to their dark lord.
Heather Potter, meanwhile, was staring up at me with eyes wide and her mouth open in shock. "Be not afraid Heather." I spoke out again. All the eyes nearby turned to me as I spoke. I really loved my new voice! It had a musical undertone to it that would draw people's ears everytime I spoke up. "You are safe now Heather Potter." I spoke out gently to the girl who now had tears in her eyes before she started crying happily.
I snickered internally as I saw Voldemort gnashing his teeth angrily. My acting was going well. He truly thought I was some immortal being and was too afraid to engage me!
[Acting has leveled up 1→2]
Hell yeah it did! I deserved that after this amazing performance I just put on! I made Voldemort himself feel genuine fear with nothing but a few words!
I floated down and set my feet on the ground. "Come here Heather." I called out to the girl. She didn't even hesitate as she ran over and hugged me. I could feel her shaking in my embrace. I didn't know whether that was the lingering effects of the torture curse on her or whether she was just that upset. It was probably both.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for saving me!" The girl cried out as she hugged me tighter.
"Layla of the Fallen…" Voldemort spoke my name and called out to me. I didn't like my name coming out of his disgusting mouth. I should punish this filthy sinner and offer their remains up to–
'Woah! Where did those thoughts come from!'
[Your personalities between your two lives are in the process of combining. Layla was not a fan of evil men who preyed upon the innocent.]
'Noted. Thank you System.'
"Tell me," Voldemort continued. "Are you an agent of Lady Death? Is that why you're here! It cannot be a coincidence! Mere moments after I return to the living and defeat Death once again, you appear. No, it's obviously not a coincidence!" Voldemort glared at me accusingly.
Wow, his head really went to a strange place. But with my acting skill at level 2 now, I was immediately able to roll with it. "That is correct, Tom." I lied with my musical voice. The Death Eaters nearby gasped in fright. "I am a servant of Death. She might not be able to harm you currently due to your… trinkets. But that won't last forever!"
Voldemort's eyes widened in shock and fear when I mentioned his trinkets. I decided to throw in a mention of his Hocruxes to really give him a good scare.
"She dares threaten me!" He seethed out and started breathing hard in anger.
I may have gone too far with that threat… Voldemort snapped! His initial fright had turned to fury! His eyes were burning with pure hatred as he glared at me. I could feel his menacing magic pour out of him and surround the area. The air literally started vibrating with his power. All the Death Eaters nearby were forced to their knees and started gagging from the power display! It took everything I had to keep a straight face and not flee immediately! 'Why the hell was level 22 this powerful!?' I screamed in my head.
[If Voldemort was a gamer who put all his points into intelligence to raise his magic, level 22 would make him an ultimate class being in strength. He might not be a gamer…but he metaphorically did put all his points into magic…]
Fuck! I'm on the bottom of mid-class with 4 wings and he has a metaphorical 10! He's as magically strong as Kokobiel! I know his health isn't even close, but I doubt I'd actually be able to hit him anyway.
I should have stayed floating in the air where I at least had the psychological height advantage! Now he's right in front of me towering over me physically and magically! Heather was just looking so afraid though that I couldn't help but land and comfort her! She's also once again completely terrified and trembling in fear.
[Warning: Luck check failed!]
What? Luck check failed? Before I could ask the System what that meant I heard a crack sound out behind me! I spun around and Voldemort had appeared right next to Heather and I! My eyes widened in shock as a green spell formed over his wand!
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort screamed out and the spell was launched forward point blank… towards Heather. The girl barely had an instant to let out a squeak.
"No!" I screamed out as I watched it connect! Like a puppet with no strings, she dropped to the ground unmoving.
I turned and glared at Voldemort with fury in my eyes! Instinctively a light spear had formed in my hands. I didn't care if I wouldn't win! This monster just murdered the girl under my protection after I promised her she would be ok! I was going to kill him!
…I didn't get a chance to try though.
"You might be unkillable, Angel! But she wasn't!" He shouted out with a laugh. "You can tell your mistress that Lord Voldemort's soul is not hers to take!" With that said he flicked his wand and I felt the massive barrier surrounding the graveyard shatter! "All Death Eaters fall back for now!" Voldemort shouted out.
I hurled my dark purple light spear forward at him but he had already apparated away… His minions followed right behind him as the graveyard echoed with cracks before falling silent.
