chapter 109

“Get down on your knees Melpomene!”

“Yes master.”

Holding her chest in pain, she had no choice but to obey due to the slave contract.

“Explain to me why you’ve done this.”

I speak out viciously, hardly able to rein in my anger.

“It is because of one of my brother’s prophecies.”

“What prophecy is that?”

“It is that the wearer of this necklace is sure to die.”

“I see, okay then.”

Placing my hand on her heart I cast my skil.

“Create Material: Arsenic”

“Kuh….”

I placed the Arsenic directly into her heart, causing her to vomit violently and faint shortly after.

“Lena, could you confirm her death?”

“She has gone into cardiac arrest, but there’s still some slight brain activity; however, the arsenic is blocking all neurotransmitters so it won’t be long now.”

“How long until she is completely dead?”

“2 minutes and 14 seconds until she is clinically dead.”

Holding Melpomene’s corpse in my arms, I look down in sadness.

“What a troublesome prophecy. I’d die if I were to wear the necklace? But if I were to wear it then I couldn’t take it off until I had ascended to Godhood?”

As Melpomene’s life force slipped away, the necklace revealed itself once more. I tried to reach out and grab it but it vanished as I got close.

“I guess it isn’t all that simple. I should hurry up and complete the Killion dungeon.”

“Johra, all signs of life have faded, she’s dead.”

“Okay, Lena please seal the room.”

“Sound waves and light rays are blocked, and Rohim’s shield is now activated.”

“Good.”

I began to cast my Resurrection Song. It was a beautiful melody which I would otherwise be completely incapable of reproducing. The spell seeped into her body causing her to bask in a golden nimbus. After about thirty minutes into the spell she once again drew her first breath.

Drawing out a chair I sat down and began to read a book titled, Genealogy of Gods, waiting for her to wake up.

It took some time, but she finally gained consciousness and mustered the power to ask.

“Um… didn’t I die?”

“Right, you did die.”

“So I died and now I’m a ghost?”

“No, I didn’t let that happen, You deceived me so I can’t let you off that easily.”

I spoke with a grim tone, but hearing my response, Melpomene couldn’t help but let out a few weak chuckles.

“Did you kill me and then bring me back?”

“Yes.”

“Why didn’t you just leave me die?”

“I require the necklace you have around your neck.”

“I think it’s gone now though.”

“No, it’s still there, it just doesn’t want to be seen.”
