Pov Shizuru
The battles of the humans with the elves were each time ceasing, perhaps they realized that they are nothing against us, and although I do not like to wait I will do it this time.
Since I must see what new ability I must acquire, at the moment I have "Huerguen" that allows me to create any type of weapon based on my soul just by thinking about it, "BloodHell" that allows me to control the blood of any being, even my own, Of course, having a sample of it, I also have "Short-time" that allows me to move from one place to another through space-time.
I also have the ability "Moonlight" that my strength could increase with the position of the moon and the light that reflects the earth and finally the "absolute control of the shadows", this skill is the one that I use the most at the time of move or hide of course that I can also use it to immobilize someone.
Just having those abilities may be enough to defeat any being that appears to me, but I still feel like it's not enough.
And that's why I'm here in the library looking for some interesting skills.
I take a couple of books to see what they were about and leave them, like that for a long time, no book caught my attention.
["Summon" ability that allows you to appear an army of undead to fight for you]
I launch the book since I am not interested in others fighting my goals, I take another book with the blue cover although it was a bit dusty, and with a jolt, I see the name.
["Burn Soul" ability that allows you to use and generate fire at will ... mmm I'll put it in a maybe]
I put the book on a table next to me and proceeded to grab the next book with the green cover.
["Art of Water" allows you to control and generate water at your will ... I will also put it in a maybe]
He placed it on top of the "Burn Soul" book to continue with the next one, it was a book with a brown cover.
["Mind" is not about skill, but an improvement to your body, it allows you to be more agile and sharpens your senses, something perfect for assassins]
I will read this book, so I'm going to leave it on another table to read later, I grab another book with a black cover and purple letters, something that strikes me was that it was called "king's authority"
[It's basically like telekinesis,
And this evolves depending on the way you use it]
This is interesting, I will learn it along with the other books that I chose like this to be better prepared since anyway my limit of learning through books reaches here.
Now I will have to learn on my own through physical and magical training to improve my level and control over the magic itself, although I thank him that Sael has given me this way of gaining skills I also curse him for giving me a learning limit.
While I was analyzing which one I should start with, I hear someone enter the library and I see that it is Delia, she seemed somewhat tired.
[What's wrong Delia?]
[Oh majesty, I didn't expect her to be here]
[Where else would she be if I told you I would train?]
[Sorry but dealing with too many questions Eli asks]
[I see, well it's normal since he has to adapt to force]
When I say that I can't help but feel guilty yet, it had been too long since I felt guilty about something.
In that, I see Delia who approaches me to be in front of me, which was strange to me since she does not behave like that normally.
[What's wrong Delia?]
She did not answer me, she just stared at me, it seemed that she was thinking about something and after a few minutes with an uncomfortable silence she decided to speak.
[Majesty, why did she decide to let Eli live?]
That question took me by surprise, I didn't know what to say to her, I just looked at her and she did the same and as she saw that she didn't answer she got even closer to me and put her face very close to mine.
I only saw where her eye had to be and I would like to think that she was looking at mine, in that I lower her gaze to be able to think well but she takes my face and makes me look at her again to notice, and in a blink, she already had eyes purple eyes that stared at me.
[Do you prefer human ones?]
I was about to answer him but I couldn't, since I still didn't know what to say.
[Or do you prefer them to be complete?]
Again his question surprised me, what did he mean by "complete"? But when I was about to ask him, I see that he is gradually moving away from me and pointing down to see that a magic circle was forming under her, which began to descend little by little to the ground, once the magic circle reached the ground, or rather, a pair of legs appeared.
[So by that you mean complete, * sigh * why didn't you tell me you had a regenerative ability?]
[Well, I never ask]
In that he was right, I never asked him anything about her, only about the king's work.
[Answering your first question, because when I saw that Eli was about to die I couldn't help but see myself, I was in a similar situation to her and I was able to get ahead and although it also sounds stupid, she accepted me because of my appearance]
I see Delia nod and look away a bit, she seemed to be analyzing the answer.
[But what does appearance have to do with this?]
[When I was in my previous world, it wasn't common for people to have red hair and they would just make fun of my appearance, and yes, I know it sounds like stupid but that was the thinking of that society]
So much so that my parents abandoned me, but well I prefer not to remember that I turned around and took a book and then sat in a cross-legged position.
[Well, a lot of talk for today, if you'll excuse me I'll start with my training]
Delia nods and proceeds to leave the room, I wait for her to leave and once I close the door I open the black book.
And I start to read it but while I was reading I felt my mind go away, Delia made me remember things.
Things like because I'm still alive ...
* Flashback *
-??, Japan-
The sound of raindrops hitting the ground was the only thing I heard, no car was nearby or someone else, just me.
Sitting under a tree, while looking at the stars, it looked like it would be a quiet night but he was wrong.
That night, at the age of 10, I experienced for the first time what it was like to be on the brink of death.
