To Be a Power in the Shadows! Chapter 184

I mounted up into the castle with Epsilon and stand in front of a door to a place that looked like a warehouse .

There were two soldiers guarding here, but I'd better let them sleep for a while .

“It's right here . ”

Epsilon said with a serious face .

“Yes . ”

As expected of Violet-san . Even though there was a door separating us, I could clearly feel the presence of her cold breath .

I opened the door and walked into the warehouse .

The moonlight shone in through a large glass panel in the wall of the warehouse .

There was a pedestal in the center .

A dry black finger was placed on the pedestal under the moonlight .

Ah, Violet-san .

What a pity she became like that .

“Shadow-sama! Please be careful . ”

“It's okay . It's okay . ”

I slightly waved my hand and walked toward the pedestal .

We were friends after all .

Violet-san must be imprisoned the way she was when we met at the Holy Ground .

For a human finger, this was quite big . Black and ugly, it was like being mutated by Demon Possession…

“The feeling of mana also feels very similar?”

Erm .

Violet-san survived by focusing all her mana on just one finger . She certainly did reject her humanity to a considerable extent .

Violet-san used to say that I was an amazing guy, but actually she was even more amazing .

The so-called Demon Possession was magic deviation or sudden mutation . Whilst treating Alpha and the others, I found out it is more accurate to call it a genetic trait rather than a disease .

The bloodline of those mutated by Demon Possession was a bit different than others .

However, even if Alpha and the others continued to rampage like that, they would not end up like Violet-san .

The blood of Alpha and the others was not as dense as that of Violet-san . It's better to say that Violet-san was more like the source of their blood .

I touched Violet-san's finger .

“That's dangerous, Shadow-sama!!”

Violet-san's finger responded to me .

“Yo . ”

I injected mana into it in place of a greeting, and then the finger trembled slightly .

“Kill me…”

That were her last words .

The finger then bent as if it nodded slightly .

If I wanted to do as she said, then I would just need to make the fingers disappeared without leaving behind any traces . Of course I could do that .

“Emm, but I won't do that . ”

We were friends after all .

The finger trembled as if it was protesting .

“Without outside help, it will be difficult for you to find your other parts . ”

The finger seemed to be annoyed, swaying for a while, and then it nodded slightly .

“I want to carry the finger with me, but the size is a bit big now . Can't you be smaller?”

Violet-san seemed to let out a sound of “emm” . It bent awkwardly as though being worried .

Violet-san's finger was bigger than my arm .

“It doesn't matter if you can't . Let me do it . ”

What I have to do is the same as treating Demon Possession .

Violet-san's blood was thicker, so it would be much more troublesome than treating Alpha and the others .

But it wouldn't take long since there was only one finger .

After I fully injected my own mana into it, Violet-san's finger was surrounded by blue-purple mana .

Then, at the moment when the light faded away, a common female-sized finger appeared .

It was the pinky on the left hand .

It was a fine and slender finger, and the fingernail was well-manicured .

I didn't know why Violet-san's finger was shaking .

But anyway, now I could put it in my pocket .

The severed part was a bit disgusting though!

I could feel a trace of mana from the severed part . I felt it was somewhat similar to Freya's .

Was the finger cut by Freya?

However, the mana dissipated with little left, so there was no way to prove it .

“It's over . Let's go . ”

I looked back at Epsilon and saw her staring at me, speechless .

“Ehhhhhhhhh!?”

“Okay, let's go . ”

“Ehhh? Ah, yes… Ehhhhhhh?”

I held Epsilon's hand and left . She seemed to be so shocked that she just kept saying “ehhhhh” .
