My mother's love song

"What? Just this kind of thing? No, no.

Well, this boring conversation ends here."

Rod interrupted her.

Because I have received your care in the future Olympus Lostbelt, I am willing to listen to what you have to say.

You actually want me to provide you with Elquet's blood. There should be a limit to the offense.

"No...! You said it was boring! I can't pretend I didn't hear that!"

Cold sweat ran down Shion's cheeks, and she spoke with a trembling voice, trying hard to suppress the trembling.

"Vampires are the disease spread by the True Ancestors, right?

For a True Ancestor princess, you shouldn't ignore the affairs of the Dead Apostles! "

"I'm not saying that Dead Apostles are boring. I'm saying that you're too boring."

"…………What does that mean?"

Rhode sneered, "Because that's impossible. Once you become a vampire, you can never return to being a human again.

Time cannot be reversed, Shion Eltnam Atlassia."

"'Time cannot be reversed'... Is this something a magician should say?"

The girl stared at the boy intently.

Rhodes changed the subject disapprovingly.

"Hmph, that sounds so grand. Your goal is actually something else, right? To cure your vampirism?

That's just a lie. It's impossible, and you know it best."

""

Shion bit her lip when she was told what happened.

"Right?"

Rhodes smiled maliciously and licked the girl's beautiful budding body with his red eyes.

"Because of you, I've already sucked it."

"Please stop talking!"

Shion showed a sad expression: “It seems that I was too foolish to want your help.

I thought you were more inclined towards the human side than the Dead Apostles, but it seems I was mistaken.

You are also a vampire, not a companion of humans.

Elquite, Eltluchi...if one day you have to kill humans for them, you won't hesitate at all."

The boy said with contempt, “Of course, I’m not a righteous partner.

If I were to put them on a scale and ask them to choose between them and a city of humans, I would choose them without hesitation and give up the lives of millions.

The woman you love most and a stranger who is not related to you, which side should you choose? This is not a question that needs to be considered at all."

"…………!!!"

Shion couldn't agree with Rhodes' values.

She has always acted like an average human being, and regards the information she has gained through her family's magecraft as common sense in human society.

"If everyone thought like you, human society would have collapsed long ago."

"Haha, this self-proclaimed rational monster is trying to talk to me about morality."

The young man laughed contemptuously, "It's obvious that even your way of existence is borrowed from others."

Shiyuan frowned slightly, showing strong hostility, and Rhodes spoke provocatively.

"What's that look in your eyes, little girl?

If you don't agree, why don't you try to force me to submit?

No problem, just treat it as a way tonight's entertainment after seeing Luo Ya off. I'll play with you for a while, it won't waste too much of my time...

I will only use magic against you."

"Allow me to refuse."

The girl bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and said humiliatingly: "My calculations are correct, the probability of winning a war with you is zero.

An hour before, I had already predicted what kind of action you would take, so I should be able to make the best avoidance.

But I can't win

No matter how I try to avoid that defeated "future", I can't calculate an ideal method.

Unfortunately, I can’t defeat you.”

"You don't agree with me? That's right.

If you were going to fight, you should have tried to invade my brain with nanowires from the beginning."

"...!"

Shion bit her lip: This person... actually knows my fighting style very well!

Etherite.

The official name is Ether-light, which is a pseudo-nerve and lepton fiber made from the fifth element [ether].

The magic gift used by the Eltnam family for generations, by inserting nano-sized threads into the back of the other person's brain, directly connecting to the other person's brain nerves, and reading their memories and thoughts.

Once the fiber thread, which is invisible to the naked eye and is nanometer-thin, penetrates the target, it can extend directly for 5 kilometers.

The more threatening use of this magic outfit is "sharing and duplicating knowledge and experience", which allows it to inhumanely obtain and read the other person's life like a demon.

This immoral practice was considered heresy and avoided even within the Atlas Academy, so Eltnam was also called the Soul Hacker [a hacker who interferes with the soul].

Sweat beaded down Shion's forehead as she asked the boy, holding her breath.

"What would happen if... I tried to hack into your thoughts with the etheric line?"

The lepton fibers that reach deep into the human body will begin to forge thinking rules in the form of lepton, carrying information and the soul's blueprints from the brain.

Of course, to completely control a person, thousands of defense barriers...that is, rationality, instinct, etc. must be completely broken through.

Fortunately, the Eltnam clan did not find it difficult to "invade intelligence entities other than their own."

However, in the method of mastering complex information bodies, any method other than forcing the target to submit rationally is actually incorrect.

Strong external willpower, such as the erosion of the magic eye or binding, etc.

People and intelligence entities controlled by this will most likely be injured, and sometimes they will not be able to recover... There are also many cases where they become disabled.

So the method used by Shion is actually wrong.

Intrusion and rewriting without letting the person know, without harming the person's information, and then obtaining the information of others

"Boring as hell."

The young man said without even raising his eyes.

"Roya is a half-baked person who can't make it as a magician or a vampire, and you, the Eltnam clan, are third-rate, even below Roya.

The common sense and moral ethics that Eltnam regards as the code of conduct are just the information you plundered through the etheric line.

Why insist on unnecessary boundaries when you have already invaded someone else's brain?"

"...!"

Shion remained breathless in silence, while Rhodes continued speaking in an extremely calm tone.

"After going through so much trouble to hack into the brain, you can read the opponent's thoughts without the opponent noticing?

No! Ruthlessly destroying the opponent's brain is the most efficient use of the ether line.

It is precisely because of the inability to abandon the cheap sense of morality in the heart and the inability to face up to the talents that Eltnam gradually collapses.

Since we have been gifted with great talents by God, we should strive to bring them to their full potential.”

"That is... an inhumane method that is not allowed!"

"There are many more dangerous magic tricks than this, don't be so self-righteous.

Even if it is a cruel and ruthless destructive force, as long as it is used in the right place, it can help others and gain recognition from others."

Come to think of it, I seemed to have said the same thing to Shiki many years ago.

"Shion Eltnam Atlassia, think about it carefully... Why did you decide to be so persistent in being a human?"

Rhodes said: "If you continue like this, you will follow in your father's footsteps one day."

"...!"

Shion's face turned pale.

She realized that the "father" the boy was talking about was not Eltnam's biological father, but her adoptive father.

There was silence in the underground space. The girl stared at the ground and remained silent.

Rhodes felt it was about time to leave.

The interior of this magic workshop built by vampires was filled with a bloody smell, making it difficult to breathe just by staying there.

He walked over to Shion and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

"gone."

"...?"

Shion blinked in confusion.

"Although I don't intend to be your collaborator, I also don't intend to just leave you here."

Rhodes looked at the Atlas Academy uniform on Shion. Although it was not obvious, there was a trace of blood on the girl's waist.

"I'm not that cold-blooded. Come with me. You will accept my protection while you are stranded in Japan."

Noticing the boy's gaze, Shion tried to hide it in panic, but it was obvious that she couldn't hide it from the other party.

I'm afraid he was attacked before coming here.

The one who attacked Shion was either a vampire wandering around at night or Xiel.

It’s unlikely that it was the senior. If it was the senior, Shion would not have been able to escape.

Probably, it was Mr. Noyer.

Rod's mind flashed back to the scene where Mr. Noyer was scolded by his senior for letting a wanted criminal escape.

Shion turned away.

"I don't need your sympathy. Since you don't intend to help me, then I don't need it either... ugh!"

Halfway through her brave words, the girl fell to the ground with a painful expression on her face.

Rhodes looked at Shion silently. Her forehead and neck were covered in sweat, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

The bright red blood stains reflected from the uniform and continued to spread.

"This is... nothing."

Shion said with a frown.

"My vitality is very strong... After my careful calculation, the wound will stop bleeding within an hour...!"

"Isn't this a failure to stop the bleeding? Did you calculate wrongly, Miss Shion?"

Although Mr. Noyer is a half-baked agent, he never makes mistakes in his own field.

The church's anti-vampire ceremonies are not so easy to accomplish with magic.

The girl blushed and muttered, feeling deeply touched by Rhode's ridicule.

"There is no mistake in the calculation!

Just because of the emotional agitation caused by arguing with you, the probability of stopping bleeding will decrease by 0.5%...

In other words, if it weren't for this, I should have been completely fine... Ugh!"

Although the girl wanted to say "everything is within my calculation", it sounded like she was complaining that Rhode had made her more injured.
