[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
[REVISION] CHAPTER 4: Eternal with You (1)

...****************...


Olivia and I have collected all the bodies of the villagers. Olivia had to vomit a few times in the process because the corpse was actually spitting out a lot of blood and started to smell bad.


"Alright, here it is.《The Flame of Purgatory》"


After I said the name of one of the magic spells I had learned, 《Flame of Purgatory》, the white flames slowly began to grow and in an instant made the corpse into ashes.


The Flame of Purgatory will burn away all the bodies it targets quickly and without making a sound or smell.


Although it was fire magic, it was actually leaning more towards holy magic. Therefore, even I who have a large amount of mana, still feel tired from using magic that is definitely not my specialist.


But, all the mana I had instantly regenerated in a short period of time.


The cremation process went well.


"All right, it's done. Let's collect their ashes, Olivia."


"…Mrs"


Olivia and I rushed over to the place that was burned by the flame of purgatory and instantly made a container to hold all their ashes using earth magic.


After putting the ashes into the stone container, Olivia and I immediately made a large hole in the middle of the village with earth magic and inserted a container containing the ashes of their bodies.


The burial was completed, and Olivia also made a large tombstone that had beautiful carvings and wrote all the names of the people in the village.


"…Nn, with this should be fine ... We will return tomorrow with interest ..."


Olivia muttered that sadly as she looked at the tombstone using her strangely cold eyes becoming more lifeless today.


Even though all the villagers had been killed, even Olivia and I did not feel any emotions. Because in the end all humans will die, and no one can escape that fate.


It might be a wrong thought, and completely heartless, but that's the reality. Olivia may not understand it much, but I already have more experience in losing someone.


It doesn't mean we're not sad. But, after all, everyone in the village has been taking care of us both since we were babies. Without them, I doubt that Olivia and I are alive.


the 7 years we spent with them were pretty fun. And when I thought I had broken away from my past, this incident happened. Destiny is a cruel bastard.


It's okay, it's not a problem. I repeatedly whispered that phrase to myself. There are many people who die every day, and it just so happens that the people in this village have reached the finish line in their lives. It's not a big deal, I'm used to it.


But, even so, I can't help it. The hot sensation that filled my eyes, I couldn't help it.


I clenched my hands together to strengthen myself, but it felt like it was in vain. I can barely hold it.


"Nohl …"


Olivia's voice suddenly entered my ears, like a clattering coming from a bell, Olivia's voice uninterruptedly entered my head and calmed my mind.


I tried to form a smile, and turned to look at Olivia who had been by my side. I didn't want her to see me who was almost crying.


"What's? "


"No, it's just .. where are we going to sleep? "


Ahh .. Yeah, I haven't thought about that, but…


"What about the castle we found? "


" … Well, it's not like we have any other choice … "


Olivia and I agreed to go back to the castle we found earlier. Fortunately this was still bright enough, so a powerful monster would not appear now.


"Then, come on."


...****************...


Olivia and I quickly ran through the forest to get to the castle we found a few hours ago.


Several swarms of monsters like green wolf and giant bee came attacking us, but we easily killed them and stuffed their corpses into my spatial storage.


Green wolf is a green wolf-like monster and has a length of 2 meters from head to tail. Their main weapons were their sharp claws and fangs. While the giant bee, as the name implies .. It is a giant bee measuring 40 cm with a stinger that has a length of almost 1 meter. They used the stinger like a sword.


Both types of monsters were monsters that worked in groups.


After running for a few minutes, Olivia and I finally reached the castle we found earlier. He looked at her for a moment and decided to enter.


...****************...


"It's really big."


Olivia let out a groan of admiration as we entered the castle. The part we entered was only part of the castle hall, but it already had an incredible size.


In the middle of the room, Olivia and I looked at a statue that was shaped like a man with long hair up to his waist.


I could only think of one thing when I saw the statue of the man.


"…Vampire"


I accidentally leaked my voice and saw Olivia looking at the statue in awe.


I don't know if there are vampires in this world .. There is indeed something like a legend about it, but it is only said to be a 'myth'.


But the place we are standing right now clearly shows the existence of that legendary creature.


Olivia and I finished looking at the statue and finally decided to go around the castle. Behind the statue, there is a two-sided staircase leading to the top floor.


And there's a large painting frame stuck on the wall of that staircase. The painting shows a man with red hair up to his waist, wearing luxurious clothes and two fangs that are quite prominent.


The man had the characteristics of a handsome face and exuded an aura of wisdom. You don't want to, I've been nailed for a moment to watch her.


The man's smile and gaze were gentle, but strangely it made me feel disinclined to look at him for longer.


In addition, there was a painting of a red-haired woman sitting on a chair beside the man.


" … Are they family? "


Olivia asked a question that anyone who saw the painting would think of, but I answered immediately.


"Can vampires make a family? I think they're increasing their numbers by drinking the blood of another human … "


Like that, we continued to walk around the castle and finally arrived at a room covered in large doors with luxurious designs. The place we were standing right now was in the middle of all the rooms in the castle.


When I opened the door, it showed a room filled with large mattresses, cabinets, tables, and more. The room was also very luxurious.


"Is this a room? "


Looks like Olivia was thinking the same thing as me.


"From my guess, this room should have been owned by the person in the painting"


"Let's go around"


Olivia and I decided to continue exploring the castle. We also decided to stay in that room later.


"Whoa... There's baths! "


In the next room, Olivia and I saw a pool as deep as an adult knee. The pool has a circular shape and is about 20 meters in diameter.


Olivia also looked at the pool with excitement .. Yes, of course, we have not felt soaking in a pool this big.


This bath reminds me of the pond we once had on earth.


"Hey Olivia"


"Mn? Noelle's? "


"How about if we stay in this castle for a while, after we're 14 years old, it should be safe to go to the nearest town."


I still remember for sure that someone can be said to be an adult when he was 15 years old. That's 3 and 5 years earlier than we know on earth.


Based on my personal judgment, it would be safe to go out once we reach that age. We also have to prepare many things, such as family background and so on.


We grew up in a church as a couple of orphans, so we couldn't make our family lines in detail. But ... Somehow I'll handle it.


" …… You're right."


There was a rather long pause before Olivia answered my decision. He agreed, meaning that he had also thought about the situation.


Thankfully, I thought he would refuse and ask to leave early.


...****************...


We continued to tour the castle.


After all, this castle was not big to play, and it was impossible to explore it all in one day.


We finally arrived at the room located at the very back. It was covered in luxurious giant doors and there were two gargoyle statues placed on each side.


" … Throne room? "


That's all I can think of. Because, the room was the largest and the largest of the others. At the end of the room there is also a podium with luxurious chairs in the middle.


But what interests me the most is what's behind that fancy chair. The wall that became the background of the chair looks hollow and goes inside.


Olivia and I stared at each other and finally decided to check on her, because it was like something was pulling us in.


" … What is this? A chalice? "


"I don't think so…"


I directly denied Olivia who thought it was a trophy.


It's not a cup, but it looks more like a cup.


Anyway, I felt a very strong mana from that cup. More precisely the contents of the cup gave off an extremely powerful aura.


But surprisingly me and Olivia just approached it unconsciously as if it was calling us.


We arrived before the altar where the cup was. And I unknowingly began to open the lid of the cup.


The moment I opened it, a very strong presence appeared, as if a sudden shockwave had come out.


"…What is it? The blood? "


As Olivia said, The cup is full of blood.


It was deep red, and it smelled exactly like the blood I remembered. Merely, it was fresh blood, something that should not have been possible here.


If I'm right, this place must have been abandoned a long time ago, there's no way blood would have survived without decay.


I don't know what got into our minds, but Olivia and I must have gone crazy because we drank all the blood in that cup.


" … Huh? What are we doing?! "


Olivia begins to panic as she begins to return to her sanity.


"Huh? Whahuh? Uh-ugh!! Wh-what happened? "


I began to speak in a trembling voice as the pain invaded our bodies all of a sudden. I also saw Olivia who was already lying on the floor with a groan of pain.


『HAHAHA!!! AND FINALLY! I AM FINALLY FREE! FINALLY A DECENT BODY! THIS IS MY RESURRECTION!!』


As I tried to endure the pain in my body, I could hear a voice echoing in my head.


But I ignored him because I was desperate here!


『Ha? What-what?! Blessed god?! What does that mean?! Shit, I gotta get out! wh-what? i'm trapped?! DON'T KIDDING ME, ASSHOLE! ANASTASIAAA-!!!!』


A voice still echoed in my head, but this time it sounded stupid and disconnected as she shouted the name Anastasia. But I ignored it because I was focusing on enduring the pain.


I ignored him even though the voice was shouting a scream of pain because I was in enough pain here myself.


"O-Li.via-"


The pain finally disappeared, and I, with my last drop of energy, desperately called out the name of Olivia who had fainted on the floor. Eventually, my consciousness sank into the darkness.
