"He's been confirmed as the child of destiny!"
The elder replied without losing their composure. "Why is the amount of divine power he has so small?"
"Who among you has witnessed that child using divine power?"
"He's just a little boy! He can't control it!"
That must be their second goal.
To destroy all the trust I have built.
At this moment, the Duke, with his eyes closed, was putting his tilted head in his hands, then opening his mouth.
"It's funny."
As he slowly raised his head, a sharp gaze came from his blue eyes.
The elders and nobles gulped.
The people who insisted that Cattlea be adopted immediately knelt down.
"Everything for Dubbede's glory."
"To Dubbede's glory!"
"For glory!"
Most of the people gathered in the room shouted at the same time.
'Don't, you idiots!'
They seemed to think that Duke had no other choice.
I'm sure the Duke wants them dead, but if they all die now, the church will take me away on the grounds he's not the right father to raise me.
'There's nothing we can do about it.'
I shouted, "Wow!" And ran to the big box.
"Does this have Bwaine?"
As I pretended to be naive, Viscount Dubos panicked and said, "Oh, little lady."
The elder replied while narrowing his eyes. "If you can break through the barrier, yes."
"Kalaw so Bwaine will try!"
'Looks like I can do it.'
"It would be dangerous if there was no divine power present in the body while breaking the barrier."
Nos and Dubos, even the two sisters seem to think I can't do it.
"Leblaine, it's dangerous, let it be."
"Yes, I'll buy you a nicer toy!"
'I know it's dangerous.'
No, it's obvious that I'll never be able to do it.
I immediately felt it after I lifted the artifact.
It was surrounded by three barriers, and inside, I could feel a strange energy.
'But I might be able to judge what the components are.'
It does not require a strong divine power.
You only need to push with a very small force through the gap. And find out what those components are by calculating the quality of the power they contain.
'All I have to do is make sure this can really bring out the Water Spirit from within.'
If I can beg for it, I don't have to fight with Cattlea about destroying the barrier. I carefully breathed the divine power into the stone. At that moment.
Gwang, gwang, gwang !!!
The castle shook violently as if an earthquake was occurring simultaneously with a red light emitted from the stone. Cracks in the walls and ceiling began to spread.
"What....,"
Everyone is confused. Duke's risen.
"Girlaine!"
"Belk!"
Henry and Isaac hurriedly released their magic power. Where the two of them floated above my head.
But Mana Isaac who was blocking the wall debris immediately scattered with sharp cracks.
"What's wrong with my powers?"
After Isaac muttered so,
Suddenly, a voice flowed into my ear. But, my surroundings immediately turned very chaotic. A black circle was created in the air, and a Dubbede witch with a golden-adorned hood appeared.
A man with a golden-adorned hood hurriedly took off his hat and shouted.
"This "great sacred power... This must be an attack from the church!"
Then the others lifted their sticks and said,
"No matter how many battle priests came, it was useless. The Dubbede Witch will exterminate you all!"
...------- I N F O--------...
*Battle priest: in some Churches, pastors and paladins train a select few to be god messengers for them. These envoys travel, protecting the people from a terrible threat with their strong beliefs, the battle priest serves as support within a group and also as a great combat unit against the undead, demons, and black creatures.
...------------------...
"How many thousand of them? Tens of thousands!?"
'Ah, someone please make me faint'
The witch looked at me with a confused face. And he said, "Why is there only one child?"
I don't know either.
I was just trying to assess the mineral, but suddenly a voice flowed into my head and my divine power grew stronger.
"Did it come from little lady?"
The witch wearing the robe tried to reach out to me.
[Where are you-!]
The voice in my head screams. And the wave of divine power within me is getting stronger.
'Don't'
I was thinking inside my head. I don't know how I should stop him.
But at that moment.
"Aghhh!"
Cattlea sat down and placed her hands on her mouth. Blood dripped through his fingers.
'What...'
Even everything in the room was becoming more chaotic.
"Aghhhh!"
When the situation got to this point, the witch shouted,
Then, the witches surrounded me and deployed their defensive formations.
The voice in my head became increasingly angry, and I was very frightened.
I don't want to attack people, but I can't help it. No, on the contrary, every time my tension and fear grew, my divine power became even stronger.
It seemed to be due to that voice, which looked like it was losing its mind.
The attack continues. The witches tried to approach me but were pushed back, and finally, I saw what the witches were going to do. That was a signal to launch an attack.
Then.
"Stop!" That's Duke's voice.
"But to stop it, you have to take the stone from the baby!" The confused elders said, but the Duke came towards me without a word.
Every time he stepped closer, a divine wave blocked his path.
It's repeated a few times. The waves blocked him, then he crushed and the waves regenerated.
After that, the stone broke with a sharp sound, and cracks appeared on the surface of the object like broken glass.
Even though deep red blood was flowing down her arms, she kept trying to reach me.
"It's okay."
"......"
"It's okay, Leblaine."
He put his hand on my back
As soon as I felt his warm touch, the stone that seemed to have reached its limit, fell to the floor. And I fell into Duke's arms.
...***...
After that, I was transferred to another room where a doctor came to take care of me, but found nothing wrong with my body.
'I feel like there is nothing wrong with me physically. I'm doing fine.'
When I left the room, the followers' eyes looked at me with fear.
'What.... should I do to them?'
But this isn't the only problem there is.
[Little lady, are you okay? Uhuh?]
Some voices kept talking inside my head.
This voice was his biggest problem.
Every time I hear that sound, I feel weak. Plus, I'm hungry and sleepy.
'Let's get this straight first.'
I haven't heard this voice in my last three lives.
I also did not know that my divine power was this strong.
It seemed like that voice had strengthened my divine power
The first time I heard that sound was when I touched Newt.
'So full. It's written in the notes. Newt is the key to divine power.'
In that case, it is understandable that my divine power has suddenly become stronger.
'Then, am I really the child of destiny?! ... Or no.'
The requirement to be a child of destiny is three.
I have to be born on February 29th.
Must have divine power.
I can read ancient languages.
Because all three conditions are needed to seal the evil spirit.
Mina matches from the three and manages to seal the evil spirits. I know best that it was used for seal offerings.
'I never dreamed of anything like this in my life.'
In my first life, I was so young that I didn't know much, but this time...
'uh? Come to think of it, how do I keep thinking like an adult all this time? What does that voice do?'
[Little lady, are you okay? Uhuh?]
I heard that voice again.
'Who are you? No, who is it?'
[I can't tell you until you qualify.]
'Then, how do I qualify?'
[I can't tell you. Only after you qualify can I answer your question. But little lady already knows where it is. So then... Ughhhh!]
The voice muttered with a small scream.
[Even this is not allowed. I can't say anything to you anymore.]
The voice said so, but I got a hint with the word 'where it is.'
It must be an object.
There was only one thing so special that would be needed as a requirement.
'Second Etwal.'
[But is your body okay? Sweet, is it too hard to answer? Unfortunately, if I was there at the time, you would have to qualify for it so I could.].
'You know what?'
With cowardice, the voice answered quickly, [Yes?!]
'Can you be quiet? I think I should take a break.'
Every time the voice spoke, I couldn't think like an adult because I was too tired.
I get goosebumps when I imagine myself wetting my bed again.
'I must immediately find Etwal before I truly become a child.'
I jumped out of bed.
