The corpse of the hydra fall flat on their ground and the blood red sky vanished. The moon in the sky remained red by some unknown phenomena. Silvia didn't notice this, she was busy focus on the person before her
" Mistress ?. "
Silvia called out .
>> This power,why does it feels so familiar <<
Veelzebub ask it's as it felt the energy radiating from roselina's body.
Roselina walked over to the Hydra body and looked at it. Roselina stepped on the hydras head and the heel of her shoes penetrate it's skin. She hold up one of the headless necks and plunge her fang in its skin. Within seconds, the corpse of the hydra was suck of blood.
Roselina was still expressionless as blood leak from her mouth and onto her breast and then dug up the corpse for the magic core and started devouring it as well
The core was the size of a football, roselina stick out her long tongue, wrapped it around the core and devoured it whole in one gulp.
" Mistress ? . Huh "
Silvia was frightened as roselina turned to her head with a blank stare as if she doesn't recognize Silvia. This made Silvia really concerned until Roselina closed her eyes and swaying left and right.
" Mistress!? "
Silvia rushed over when Roselina body glowed and then she returned to her childlike form and fall to the ground unconscious
" Mistress ? "
Silvia dashed forward and caught Roselina who was still unconscious. As she hold roselina naked body in her arms she was concerned.
" What was that? "
She ask concerned and yet frightened
>> My guess that was master's true power and her true form. <<
" Her true power ! "
>> Yes... It was the same feeling I had when we first met...the power she possess of far greater than I imagine <<
Veelzebub sound mortified by roselina's power.
>> Silvia.. Let's keep this a secret from master <<
" Why ? Masters deserves to know..do you expect me to lie to my mistress? "
Silvia protest against the idea
>> Listen to me.. This power is far great than you and I could ever imagine..it's still far to early for her to know the truth.. Remember, master just wants to find a place where she can live a normal life.. If she knows she possess the power on par to the four lords she's only have to carry a weight around.. Do you want that? <<
Hearing Veelzebub words, silvia looked at Roselina who was asleep on her arms.
>> When master is ready, we'll reveal the truth to her.... Agree ? <<
And after a while of thinking Silvia came to a conclusion.
" Agree "
They both eventually decided to keep the truth to keep roselina's true power a secret from her until the right moment. There was an old house ruins at the distance.
" Let's go in there "
Silvia reached out to take up the scythe but stopped the moment it shouted.
>> Wait !...don't touch me, only my contracted master is allowed to touch me <<
" Why is that? "
>> Do you want to be ducked dry to find out the reason <<
Veelzebub ask, silvia looked at the scythe wondering how she should carry it when suddenly she had an idea.
.....
I slowly opened my eyes and found out that I was inside some sort of bed.
" Where is this place and why am I naked ? "
I got out of my bed and wrapped the sheet around me and sat on the bed. My head is throbbing, it like someone drilled a hole in it
>> Master.. Your awake <<
I turned my gaze to Veelzebub who was leaned against the wall.
" Veelzebub what's going on? "
" Mistress your awake"
I turned around to see Silvia in a male pants and shirt.
" Silvia, what's going on ? "
" Don't worry mistress.. Please sit and have something to eat "
Silvia forces me to sit down at the table where she prepares some stew broth. That didn't suprise me as much as the house were in. It looks like a one room building. It had a book shelf, A table and just a single bed.
" Can someone tell me what's going on ? "
I ask.
" You don't remember? "
" No "
" Mistress "
Silvia kneeled at my feet. something wrong must have happened
" After you was struck by an attack to defend me the Hydra's suddenly go well. You used the opportunity to counterattack and asborbed it's blood "
" Is that what happens? "
Strange I can't remember, the part of me being struck by an attack and waking up here, the memory gap is too large.
I hold my head as my memory is blank, Just like before when I saved Mary and wake up in an old mansion hundreds of kilometers away. I stood up and walked away when Silvia grabbed my hand
" Mistress "
Silvia started to cry.
" Don't ever do that again "
" Huh..What are you talking"
" YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? "
Silvia shouted at me, even I was a bit frightened.
" Don't ever put yourself in danger for me.. I don't want you to get hurt because of me.. I am just a your servant, I am expendable but your life is more precious than mine "
She looked up as me as she was crying from her one eye. We met not to long ago and yet she hold me in such high regards.
" Mistress.. You shouldn't do that "
I see, so it seems instead of helping, I ended up causing more trouble than I should have. The ideas of watching someone close to me getting hurt over my foolish mistake was too much. I got up and hugged her.
" You've been there with me.. You didn't know me and yet you still decided to follow me. You've been there for me and there's nothing I could have done for you.. Silvia I promise I won't do it again"
I said.
She hugged my waist and cried in my abdomen. Such a sweet girl, if I'm not careful I may just end up falling in love with her. After such a touchy moment, i ask a question that must be answered.
" By the way, how were you able to carry Veelzebub knowing full well that I'm the only one who can touch it ? "
I ask.
" I've already know so I prepared a little countermeasures "
" Countermeasures? "
She point to the corner of the room where a bunch of rocks was piled up.
" I dug out the rock around the scythe and carried it here"
" Seriously "
I ask with a poker face, I can't believe she said that with a straight face.
