The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

50 – Scene 050# Taboo

*

“Oh My God… .”

Wendy had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

The maids, who were sleeping among the ice flowers as if having a happy dream, looked like princesses from a fairy tale.

So it was an even more gruesome sight.

They were speechless for a while.

It was because it was difficult to accept the harsh reality in front of them.

Vanessa barely spoke in the heavy silence.

“… What kind of person was Milium who did this… ? Aren’t you the count’s father?”

“He died when the count was young.”

Albert sighed.

He had to bring up painful memories in a trembling voice.

“… When I first met Milium Ruelberta, he was a boy interested in magic.”

“In magic?”

“Vanessa, you may not know, but the Ruelberta family has been cursed with inability to use magic for generations. No, it would be more accurate to say that he was born with a body without magical powers.”

Albert remembered Milium Ruelberta, who had risen to the earldom at a young age.

I remembered that bright boy.

“Milliam wanted to escape the curse. That’s why I generously invested money in magic research. And I was a craftsman who was immersed in magic research at the time. no… .”

Albert closed his eyes.

“I was crazy.”

He continued in his voice of remorse.

“I wanted to create a formula that could utilize the magic that exists in nature. Because it has great potential. I created and experimented with countless spells. It was all thanks to Milliam. Because he didn’t hesitate to support me. He brought me magic stones as well as anything else I wanted.”

“It must have been a dreamlike environment for artisans.”

At Vanessa’s words, Albert nodded.

“yes. I worked for the Ruelberta family for a long time with such enormous support. The reason I quit was after I found out that Milliam was conducting a clinical experiment in which he planted my magic formula on animals without my knowledge. They analyzed my technique and improved it arbitrarily to commit inhumane acts.”

Albert’s shoulders trembled.

“I should have stopped him then. But this grandfather was too afraid… I was scared. I was afraid that the power that supported me would try to harm me on the contrary… !”

“grandfather… .”

“I just burned all the research materials and ran away. I was mean. And it was stupid. If you thought about it just a little bit, how dangerous that spell could be… I could have known how it could be abused… .”

Albert looked at the four glass tubes. With a face filled with remorse, he looked at the dead with his spell written on them.

“Are these dead… ?”

“no. Magical power was frozen with an ice flower. It’s like going into hibernation.”

Having said that, Tristan picked up an ice petal that had fallen to the floor.

“My father… Millium Ruelberta killed them and turned them into corpse puppets. They were treated as tools without emotion. And I fell asleep here with a body that could not even die.”

A petal that melts and disappears from Tristan’s finger.

Wendy read an unknown depth of sadness on his face.

he opened his mouth slowly.

“Now I intend to save them.”

“Salvation… ?”

Thinking about what that meant, Albert immediately made an impression.

“Don’t talk nonsense. It has already become like this, so how can you save it? Their hearts have been replaced with devices that simply supply magical power. It has literally become a walking magic tool. So no matter how many counts you are, no, we cannot save them.”

“Know.”

“You know?”

“Albert. Do you believe in spirits?”

“what… soul?”

Tristan’s out-of-context question left Albert speechless.

it’s a soul What the hell is this man talking about?

“I saw it in a book before. There is a hypothesis about the soul that has existed since ancient times.”

Not only Albert, but even Vanessa listened to Tristan with a look on her face.

“All living things have magical powers. From a blade of grass to humans, and even dragon-like beings called natural disasters. If you are alive, magic exists. So maybe… Could it be that the soul resides in that magical power?”

“Sounds absurd!”

Albert exclaimed impatiently.

I knew how ridiculous the Count’s words were.

“If that is the case, Count, it means that you are a human being without a soul!”

“yes. Maybe.”

At Albert’s point, Tristan laughed coldly.

It was a gruesome smile that made me question if it was a smile that humans could make.

“A human being like me could be nothing more than a shell whose soul was eaten by a curse. I rather wish it were. Only then will I be able to fulfill my plan.”

“A plan?”

“The magic formula is the power to control and restrain magical power. I think their souls are trapped in the magic.”

Tristan spoke of his plan.

“I will bring them back to life.”

“count! That is strictly taboo!”

exclaimed the excited Albert.

to bring the dead back to life.

Is there any sin worse than that?

“You… . The Count will commit a greater sin than Milliam! God will not allow this!”

“Does not matter.”

“They must be suffering even now!”

“Does not matter. Whether it is suffering or not, I will think about it after reviving it.”

“This is not a job for mere humans! Even if a god comes, he can’t save them!”

“Does not matter. I will save you.”

“You’re going to hell!”

“It doesn’t matter anyway!”

Tristan yelled.

Albert and others shrank at the sudden shout.

I couldn’t even breathe.

Tristan’s raging emotions seemed to choke them.

“… If I can save them, I will gladly become a demon.”

“count… .”

“They were mine from the start. So is the soul. Not even God can take it away from me.”

Tristan has arrived.

“Albert. It happened because of the spell you made. Finishing is also your job.”

Tristan, who had come before me, was looking down at Albert.

was overpowering him.

“Take responsibility and cooperate. Albert. No matter how long it takes make a drink A spell that surpasses the one you created and can save them. As the head of the Ruelberta family, I will spare no support.”

It was an order.

Albert sat down.

It was as if I had encountered the devil and received an offer I could not refuse.

“… Does the count really want to tell me to sin again?”

“It is not a sin. this is atonement Albert, it’s the only way you can atone. At the same time, it is an opportunity for you to be set free from sin.”

opportunity.

Tristan’s words were enticing to him.

So Albert was shaken.

“What if the hypothesis is wrong… .”

“That’s for you, the craftsman, to find out. I will take full responsibility.”

Tristan’s mouth twisted.

“I will fall alone in hell.”

At that moment, Albert realized his destiny.

From the beginning he couldn’t escape.

from the sins he has committed.

and from Ruelberta.

Albert muttered helplessly.

“The Count is truly an unknown person… I don’t know if he’s scolding me or trying to help me… .”

“Your atonement only benefited me.”

“is it… .”

Albert smiled bitterly. Tristan passed him and called each name written on the glass coffin.

“Muri, Rika, Cynthia, Beth… .”

It was just a name call, but Wendy knew.

The fact that they were important people to Tristan.

And the pity, pity, and deep sadness that come out of his voice.

Albert let out a sigh.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t lose everything? An absurdly greedy man… . are you the devil no… . Should I rather see him as a demon lord who opposes God?”

“no. I am Tristan Ruelberta.”

The moment he met Tristan’s determined expression, Albert felt an inexplicable fear.

“Now is.”
