Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 20 – ARTEFACT CURSE ALICE
That night, Yasmin is assigned to collect Curtiz and Jilk in Helios' study.
Yasmin has contacted Curtiz and will now move to meet Jilk.
“Kakek Jilk, You asked His Royal Highness the Prince to visit his study.”
“Ukh.”
Jilk was shocked to find Yasmin standing right behind him without feeling the air of her existence.
While still trying to maintain his poker face, Jilk replied,
“Ehem. Entiendo. Yasmin boy can move there first. Later Grandpa will soon follow.”
It was completely beyond Jilk's calculation of the matter even though Yasmin was a former saint of the sacred temple, the, he never knew that even a saint could make such a silent move that even an assassin like him would not be able to notice it until Yasmin herself opened the air of his existence.
Yeah, correct. Jilk is not just an ordinary butler. He was a former assassin, no, even now he was still doing world work that night.
What he was trying to hide from Yasmin who had made his expression that startled was the knife he was currently trying to clean using a handkerchief of fresh blood that was temporarily pouring on his sharp blade.
Jilk doesn't know that Yasmin has been aware of it for a long time. However, he did not consider it an important thing to pay attention to since for Yasmin, during her happy life on Helios' side, it had been enough for her.
“Hah, almost got caught. Besides why in this place more and more rats bully him? Though His Highness Prince Helios has gone to great lengths to increase the value of this place. But there were only evil mouths that spread strange rumors because the magic crystal stone business held by His Highness the Prince became a great success. Hah, this old geezer really doesn't understand.”
That is how Jilk said while sighing. It seemed that killing that person was not a big thing for him.

I gather people around me. There was Zero aka Alice who had just come to take Albert with her. Beside them, there were also Yasmin, Curtiz, and Jilk.
I gathered them together and immediately explained the matter of the artifact controlling the monsters in the damaged monster forest that was the main cause of the frequent monster waves on the border of Painfinn City, while at that time, too, I found something that can fix the artifact.
Yeah, it's an artifact embedded in Alice's heart, no, precisely it was the curse aura he gathered from the circulation where Alice was so numerous that there were no longer enough reservoirs so that the artifact would soon explode.
I explained in detail to my followers and the officials from Painfinn City gathered at the place about what the actual artifact embedded in Alice's heart was.
However, before I could go into more detail about the artifact, Albert interrupted my conversation by scolding Alice whom he accused of being an imperial spy.
Albert even pulled out his sword and soon will be presented to Alice while it appears that Alice is only resigned to accept Albert's tantrums.
Fortunately there was Jilk there who immediately calmed down Albert's tantrums so that I could explain in more detail to Albert that Alice might indeed be under the orders of the emperor Vlonhard, but he never intended to hurt a single hair of the citizens of Meglovia Kingdom.
The artifact embedded in Alice's heart probably came from the demon magic crystal stone core that had attacked Vlonhard Empire ten years ago.
From the literature I read, in principle, humans will never be able to accept which intake comes from monsters or demons about different types of energy.
If mana in the human body can be processed into several forms, namely fire, water, wind, earth, lightning, light, and also non-attributes, then which is produced in the body of monsters and demons, and which is produced in the body of monsters and demons, contains a kind of energy that is very different from the classifications.
In my unusual case where I was actually an ice element that was a little similar to the monsters in the north pole, the professors at the magic academy concluded that it was the result of a mixture between the water element and the wind element. It was proved by me who was also able to use the water element and also the wind element so my case was not an impossibility in terms of science.
However, where monsters and demons were very different to that concept.
We might still be able to classify monsters into fire monsters, water monsters, ice monsters, land monsters, wind monsters, etc, and so on based on the closeness of which type they are with which classification of humans although in principle it is different.
But it is very different from demons. It was completely outside of the classifications that limited human reason could understand.
And that artifact that was supposed to cultivate demon energy was embedded in Alice's heart at this moment.
It was fascinating and cultivating mana into which demons were extremely incompatible with the human body. So if it was a commoner who was hit, they would have long since died.
Luckily, Alice had long since built up her immunity to the demon mana ever since she obtained her curse. That's what has caused it to survive to this day.
I don't know the details of how Alice got the curse, but he seems to have misunderstood long ago that the curse was what caused his mana flow to become unstable and threatened to explode.
In fact, it was caused by the existence of the artifact itself.
Basically, the curse mixed inside where the original had been modified in such a way that it could mix without endangering his life. Only, it would give a sedative effect on the monsters that caused the monsters around Alice to go crazy.
However, the existence of the artifact in addition to absorbing and condensing where the curse was so as to amplify the sedative effect of its curse to the monsters around Alice, it would also constantly force her to enter it.
Like a balloon that is constantly being blown, it will one day break too. Plus, the artifact not only absorbs mana from the curse, but also mana from the surrounding nature that also transferred it to where the demon.
Little did Alice go crazy and pull the trigger, so this bomb called Alice that was in front of me would soon explode which would instantly ravage the entire city of Painfinn along with all the contents inside.
But with my alchemical talent, it will no longer be a problem.
It was precisely the existence of the artifact would be like throwing two birds with one stone to me. And that first bird was to repair the broken monster forest artifact.
This is my current goal of gathering people to plan an expedition to the monster forest in the near future.
