Chapter 622 (1/2)

The Determined Weena Rhyn

Edited by Phantom0408

Weena Rhyn let out sorrowful words while covering her face with one hand.

「If things continue like this, Rhyn might disappear!」

「But it was Rhyn who resurrected the magic beast」

「…Huh? Rhyn did? Really…?」

「Really」

「But why…?」

「I don’t know」

『Well, we’d like to know about that too』

Then Fran and I told her everything that had happened at the bottom of the lake.

Zelyse tried to break the seal and we managed to stop him. But to our surprise, Rhyn resurrected the magic beast.

Weena Rhyn could not seem to believe it. She looked up at the void with a dumbfounded face.

「Rhyn has a message for you」

「!!」

「She told you to be prepared」

「…But then, that girl will…?」

We’ve known each other for a while now, but I still didn’t understand Weena Rhyn and Rhyn’s relationship. When she said that “that girl”, was she referring to Rhyn? If so, they were not just ordinary acquaintances then. It seemed that they might have some kind of close relationship.

「What’s Weena Rhyn’s relation with Rhyn?」

「…We are… I wonder how should I put this…」

「I’m listening」

「Well」

Weena Rhyn smiled wearily at us. She seemed to be mentally overwhelmed.

「To put it simply, we’re sisters, twins」

「Twins, even though she’s a spirit?」

『Her twin is an elf. Is that possible?』

As expected of a race favored by spirits. But apparently, that was not the case. Weena Rhyn was shaking her head.

「Rhyn was originally a High Elf」

Weena Rhyn then talked about the relationship between herself and Rhyn.

「Rhyn made a contract with the spirit of the lake, which had been captured by the great magic beast, and made herself one with the spirit in order to seal the great magic beast」

「She could do that?」

「It must have been possible because Rhyn was one of the High Elves who particularly excelled in Spirit Magic. It was impossible for me」

By becoming one with the spirit of the lake, which had become one with the great magic beast, it meant that Rhyn had also become a part of the great magic beast.

Then, Rhyn weakened the great magic beast from within and sealed it in the center of the lake with the sealing technique she had prepared.

Weena Rhyn’s acquaintance who was said to have sealed the great magic beast was actually her twin sister, Rhyn.

「I then made a contract with Rhyn, who had become a spirit… If things were left like this, Rhyn would one day completely merge into the great magic beast and disappear」

Normally, a contract between a Spirit Magic-User and a spirit was not a contract that could be defined as assimilation.
