The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S2) Chapter 104 [Ruby and Mysterious Girl ]
Levana Empire, Arsilla Family Mansion
At The Same Time When Mika Met Yue
The cold night silence is the only thing that accompanies Ruby, the vampire girl. The darkness of the room made the girl's condition less visible.
Thanks to the passing moonlight for a moment, Ruby's appearance began to be seen. He was hanging with chains in both hands. The end of the chain was high enough that Ruby's feet did not tread the surface.
The condition of the vampire girl was extremely concerning. Even for a vampire, if he was not given blood for a long time, his recovery would slow down. On his pure white skin, hundreds of whip wounds were cut to the point of blood stains sticking to the shabby cloth covering his body.
The girl was almost 15 years old, but her body was too small as a 9-year-old. In brackets in small underground rooms, tortured with whips every day and not given any food. Maybe someone would do that to a child.
Since her father joined the war, the torture of her stepmother and sister has been getting worse and worse. But all of that is at least human. The culmination of the torture was when the father could not go home even though the war was over due to the research and designing of the demon lord in the magic tower.
The mother who could not stand it anymore began to torture Ruby as an impingement material. The torment did not stop and became more and more over time. Of course all the servants who had worked there for a long time tried to stop Mrs Arsilla, but because of that, now there was no longer an old servant of the Arsilla Family in the residence.
Just due to the fact that vampires are a race approaching immortality, where they will not die as long as they are not killed in a special way, the mother did not care about the wounds and suffering of her stepson as long as she did not die.
Thanks to that, now Ruby's heart is completely dead. There were times when he felt very angry and wanted revenge, especially when his personal servant was killed in front of him just for giving him a piece of bread. But because of the damn contracts of the Arsilla family and the Imperial family, he couldn't get along.
He was already at the stage where he had given up on everything. The only reason he didn't kill himself and try to stay alive was because of the promise he made with his fiancee.
Yet...
"Ah... It seems like I. cannot fulfill that promise.." Ruby's inner.
"I'm sorry... Aqua..."
Ruby's eyes looked like dead fish, she looked at the light entering through the small ventilation gaps above her.
The girl knew her condition. To survive until now is a miracle. Now that his condition was too severe, his injuries continued to flow out. His recovery was currently even slower than ordinary humans.
How long has he not eaten? Human or vampire food.
He himself does not remember that. It might have been a few months.
Ruby's eyes are getting heavier. He was already unable to maintain his consciousness at this moment. The girl was on the verge of life and death.
[..... whoa!!! ]
As soon as those eyes began to close, the girl seemed to hear something from inside her.
"Who...?"
[ ..... stupid rah!!! ]
The voice sounded louder. It felt like the sound was starting to approach out of nowhere.
In Ruby's mind, the world was only dark black and in the middle of it was a little blonde girl sitting glumly hugging her legs. The origin of the sound that appeared earlier was like a light that was starting to approach towards him.
[Don't give up stupid!!! ]
"!"
Ruby could hear that voice clearly now. The little girl in the black world had raised her face, trying to see the origin of the voice.
In his vision, a bright white light spread out rapidly to make his black world turn into a vast field of flowers just below the blue sky. The girl was fascinated by the sight she had never seen before.
TAP TAP TAP
Light footsteps rang out behind him, Ruby quickly looked back. Those eyes that looked more lively were widened in shock.
(Sauce: EB+ on Pixiv)
A girl who looked slightly older than him stood before him with an annoyed expression. The girl's hair and eyes were pitch-black like night, yet it looked radiant and radiant more than anything.
Ruby was silent on the spot, she felt like she had seen the girl before. But with such a flashy appearance, there was no way Ruby would not remember it.
"who?" ask Ruby curiously.
The girl let out a sweet smile on her face.
[You could say 10% of you are real! ]he answered cheerfully.
Ruby had no idea what the girl was talking about. 10% of her true self? What kind of crazy thing is that?
[I honestly wait for my soul to unite until 90% new I will complete the last piece of the puzzle.] complained the girl as she walked around Ruby.
[But I think if I stay quiet, maybe 30% of this will meet mom first. It could complicate our lives later ]
"What was he talking about?" suspicious Ruby.
The girl shook her head while touching her forehead.
[ Ha~ahh... What should I do to you? ]
Ruby scrunched her forehead.
"Can you explain something to me?"
[ Hm? ]
The girl in front of him was silent. She looked at Ruby closely until Ruby was uncomfortable.
"Why?" ruby was getting scared.
[Hmm. I know! Just like that!! Right too. Even though I can't send all the information I know, but if only the memory of the 5th life might be able to! ] suddenly the girl.
"????"
The girl brought her face closer to Ruby's. Ruby was a bit goosebumps, she retreated a little. But the girl held her head. His face began to advance regardless of Ruby's reaction. He stuck both of their foreheads together until they fused perfectly.
"????????"
From that forehead, came an extremely dazzling golden light. Ruby's eyes closed by themselves, although this was only the subconscious, she could not control anything there as she pleased. His body even acts on its own like in the real world.
[It's only 1% of the 10% of the soul's part that carries past information. But that should be enough for now ]
[Rubylia Arsilla, don't ever think that you're allowed to die. Your life is not your own. Remember that there is a reason why you are living in this world at this time ]
"?????????"
[Then see you again when you are more perfect.
Ruby's body seemed to be attracted quickly, moving away from the flower field and the black-haired girl. The girl continued to wave her hand at Ruby.
"Tu-wait!!" ruby Jokes.
[I will always be in a T-junction.waiting to be my complete self ].
[For that long... I'll leave brother to you... ]

CRIINGGGGGGGGG
Ruby's eyes that looked dead earlier gave off an extremely dazzling golden light.
The girl's jewel-red eyes opened. His appearance was very different now. Those same jewel-red eyes were now emitting a burning ray of life. There was a slight change in his eyes. A golden-colored (➕) symbol adheres beautifully to the jewel's red eyes.
Not knowing if the symbol appeared thanks to the mysterious girl earlier or for any other reason.
But what makes Ruby very different from before is not because of changes in her eyes.
"This... where?" muttered the girl.
