Sorcerous Stabber Orphen Rogue Journey - Doll, comply with my commands - Chapter 5 - It......continued the mission Sorcerous Stabber Orphen Doll, comply with my command Chapter 5 -Itcontinued the mission. Dont expect us to give up so easily! Cleos hair was wet, she shook her head while she shouted with a sharp voice. But parts of her body were still tied with rope, so she was easily grabbed by the golem. She was helpless, its grasp was so strong that she couldnt even speak. Im being kidnapped! You Devil! You smell like you havent washed in a week! Vulcan looked down upon her from the stone giant. Well, looks like that damn sorcerer isnt hereyoull just have to do. They were now in an open hall with an altarthey are in theBajirikokku Fort. Cleo was struggling in the golems grasp, behind them was a portrait of a green haired woman. Stop squirming. Ill stop squirming when I have my hands round youre neck! Behind her was Vulcan, who was happily sitting on a small throne. He then stood up, and made a hand gesture. I will eliminate the root of all evil! The enemy of all common people! The loan shark sorcerer! Can you even do that? Cleo asked. Vulcan laughed confidently. Of course I can, and then my debt will be gone! Thats a lame ambition. What was that? My loyal followers will not tolerate such an insult against their master! Youre the type of guy who bullies girls with stone giants. Whats wrong, cant you do it yourself? How dare you! Say that again and Ill have you squeezed like a grape! Cleo didnt want to anger him any further, for he might actually use the stone giants to harm her. She could only sit there helplessly, waiting for someone to come to her aid. *** They made their way along the embankment of the canaluntil they found a crack in the wall. They slipped through and found a small room, in the middle of the room there was a manhole. Opening the lid, they made their way down an iron ladder. Can we get to the ruins this way? Yes. We just entered the sewer, the sewers and the ruins are connected. I see. I dont want to stay in this stench any longer than I have to, so lets pick up the pace. The sewer was damp, and full of a nasty stench. They had to cover their mouths with handkerchiefs as they moved, this did this for over an hour. As they moved, they noticed cracks over all the wallsthey were clearly artificial. How did the Heavenly Beings breathe down here? Well, the Heavenly Beings created theBajirikokku Fort to be impregnablethere are magical words carved into the cracks of the walls, that way oxygen could be created if they were buried alive. They also created a magical barrier above the fort to protect them from water, that way they could prevent flooding. Though occasionally fish do fall through the barrier, the air is also very humid. Hopefully well be able to breathe some of the clean air, once were out of this stench. They continued traversing the sewers until they arrived at some kind of swamp like environment, it was dark and muddy. There was a lot of vines hanging from the ceiling blocking their path, both of them pushed their way through. Suddenlya bright light appeared before them. Orphen could feel his feet touching stone, for a momenthe took in a deep breath, they finally arrived. Bajirikokku Fort They had just entered Bajirikokku Fort through a route in the underground sewers. The path they took was very large, and about five meters wide. Normally at this end of this path of the sewer youd find a dead end, unless you know where to look. This area is called theback bone. Stephanie explained. Back bone? Orphen asked inquisitively, Stephanie nodded. Thats what its called. The fort was modelled to mimic the biological structure of a certain creature. Different parts of the fort are named after parts of the body. The head, the tail and so on If you say so, but I dont really understand what you mean. The head and tail sections are stairways, this is how you enter and leave. If you take the stairway upwards youll pass through the barrier and end up at the bottom of the canal. After she said that, they could hear someone screaming Master! It was Majic, he came flying through the vines right into Orphen. What the hell is wrong with you? Cleos been captured! I told you to keep her safe. Its not my fault, Vulcan arrived with that Golem of his. Figures, were heading towards him anyway so nothings changed. Orphen told Majic to follow them. He then suddenly asked him, pulling a coin out at the same time. Majic. Heads or tails, what do you prefer? Majic gave him a serious look and replied. Tails. I didnt expect to hear that answerheads it is. Steph, which way? Take a right. They turned right and went forward. The road ahead went on for a while, it seemed to be curved. Orphen felt like they were going round in circles, he then muttered something. What did you say? Majic asked. Orphen ignored him and kept moving forward. Im sure Cleo will forgive you for your misgivings, Orphen. Majic said, Orphen cursed inside himself. I know. Orphen said, sticking out his tongue at the same time. The group continued to walk until they reached a cloister, Stephanie told them they had reached thehead. They came across a passage and an opening, looking down it seemed like they were entering a skull. They entered a spiral staircase about 10 meters acrosslooking up, they saw a distinct blue light. It was probably the water of the canal. From time to time, a fish would drop down from above. I guess this is how Vulcan and his megalithic infantry come and go. But how do they climb up the stairs? Look over there. Orphen pointed to a pillar, which was in the centre of the spiral stairway. They probably climb up that. That doesnt seem veryappropriate. That stupid raccoon dog, everything he does is inappropriate. I remember one time he said he was hungry, he jumped right into the river to catch a frog. Cut it into ting pieces right on the spot and brewed it, all the while people were watching. Orphen held on to Stephanie, helping her walk down the stairs. Sometimes I wonder why I even decided to follow master. Who knows? Maybe you have a strong bond with your master. The spiral stairs went on for a whileif you looked up you wouldnt be able to see the entrance, now they arrived at the lowest part. The bottom of the stairway was like a dungeon, all covered in brick and with one door. Orphen looked at the door with an inquiring look, he then looked at Stephanie. She nodded and replied. From here we can enter the lowermost part of the fort. Theyre shouldnt be any kind of traps, were so deep inside that no one would bother. Lets hope so. Orphen said as he held the doors handle. I wonder whats behind door number one. This isnt a game, master. Majic said. Orphen just smiled back at him. I wonder whos waiting behind the door, the bastard Vulcan or the Killing Doll. What are you going to do if its neither? Well, lets find out. Orphen suddenly turned to doors handle, and stepped through. Opposite the door was an altar, behind it there was a portrait of a green haired woman. Neatly arranged around the altar was ten megalithic infantry. One of them was holding a figureit was Cleo, she was tightly bound by rope. Vulcan stood at a golems feet with an insidious smile, nearby was Dortin who was staying out of sight. Ive been waiting a long timeOrphen. That was the first thing Cleo said. Orphen raised a hand to cover his eyes, he refused to look at her. Get me down from here now! Cleo shouted. Orphen wasnt having any of it. I didnt come here for you, I came for that stupid raccoon dog. That goes without saying. But like always, you need to be taught a lesson. Orphen had to decide what his next move would be, to rescue Cleo or to pummel Vulcan. What did you call me, a stupid raccoon dog? Yes. Orphen said very clearly. He was trying to restrain himself from doing something stupid. I beg you, please save me. Cleo cried, meanwhile Orphen and Vulcan glared at each other. This is all your fault. Shut up, Cleo. Ive got to deal with this little bean sprout. Ill show you how much of a bean sprout I really am! Vulcan didnt realize what he just said, he was only concerned with one thing right now: teaching Orphen a lesson. Magical word, bind this fool! Magic? What is this? Orphen said, he couldnt move his body. A magical word, obviously. You shouldnt have kept that message the doll gave youa magical character was attached to it. Master! Majic cried, but Stephanie was oddly calmno, she was on the verge of giggling. Stephanie? Majic said, he was dumbfounded as to why she was going to laugh. You men are so useless. She said as she walked over to Orphen and reached into his pocket. Orphen looked flustered. Dont worry, I wont do anything funny. Stephanie said, as she pulled the piece of paper out of Orphens pocket. I withdraw thee, shrew's dance. Orphen was not restricted anymore. Vulcan had a very angry expression. It wasnt meant to happen like this! Hello, damsel in distress here! Playtime is over, forward Megalithic Infantry! The golem holding Cleo put her down and charged Orphen, it was about to attack as it raised its arms. Master! Orphen! Majic and Stephanie shouted, Orphen raised his hand and shouted. Sword of Light, whom I do release! After a flash and a loud noise, the huge portrait behind them started to fall. I see thee, Lady of Chaos! A black swirling vortex engulfed the stone giantthe gravitational forces utterly destroyed the megalithic infantry. The attack was so fierce that parts of the altar were damaged. Tyler! You can do it! Orphen didnt stop in his recklessness destruction, as another golem charged his position. In my left hand, thestatue ofhades! Im not done yet! Vulcan ordered more golems to attack Orphen. Sword of Light, whom I do release! Dakada, Monkey 1000. Get him! Ominous starling of death, guiding me! A giant shockwave was emitted and the stone giants were shattered into many pieces. My ultimate trump card A golem which was slightly bigger than the others began to move. Orphen raised his hand to shout, but Bang! Small streaks of lighting filled the room, the megalithic infantry were crumblingno, they were collapsing inwards. This happened until each remaining golem was turned into a ball of rock. Then, there was nothing left. After the dust had settled, Orphen could only see a figure sobbing. It was Cleo, she had her hands buried in her face. Next to her was Dortin and Vulcan, who were both tied up with rope. Ah! Someone made her cry! Majic said to Orphen, standing behind him. YeahI can see that. Orphen scratched his head, while he watched Cleo. Majic waved his finger at Orphen and spoke. Master, as usual you never learn. But I No buts. Just listen to her crying. Orphen very reluctantly listened to Cleos crying. Her voice was intermittently mixed with unknown words. IllgetmyrevengeIllpullhisnailsoutwithavice. Now, this is starting to get interesting. Orphen said. Master. If we wait a bit longer I guess well see some real suffering. Just dont get too close, or else shell hurt you too. Stephanie whispered. I just wish this whole battle was a little more interesting. Orphen said, obviously a little unhappy. Ahahahahah! Huh? Orphen looked towards the altar, the laughter was coming from there and becoming louder. Stop acting so high and mighty! Everyone was now looking at the altarVulcan was standing there. They had no idea how he got out of the ropes, Dortin sat beside him. Standing behind the brothersthe Killing Doll stood with an elongated needle protruding from its middle finger. It seems the doll cut the rope, but nobody knew when it did it. Vulcan shook his fur cloak, and pulled out a knife. You damn loan shark! Today we will determine a winner! You still owe me money, asshole. But if you cant pay it we can always work something out. Orphen said, but he no longer focused his attention on Vulcan. All the hairs on his body were standing upright, as the Killing Doll calmly observed him. (That bastard) Orphen said inside himself. The doll continued to stand behind Vulcan, though it looked like it was using the two brothers as a shield. (That doll, is it using them as a shield?) But Vulcan didnt even notice this, he was more concerned with boasting. Looks like you lose, now that Ive got this doll on my side Im unstoppable! Well, brother Dortin interrupted him. Vulcan then proceeded to knock his brother to the ground with his sword. It was decided that these ruins were to be the battlefield. Fight the doll! Sorcerer! You dont need to remind me, you little shit. I came to theBajirikokku Fort knowing full well what would happen. Orphen said, then he stuck out his arm. Sword of Light, whom I do release! A blast of light surged towards the portrait above Vulcan, it burned, then part of it exploded. Debris from the painting made Vulcan scream. Meanwhile a loud roar echoed throughout the hall, Orphen jumped like a frog. Right after he jumped, a bolt of lightning just stuck his previous position. "Waha ha ha ha ha!" Observing Orphens anticsthe doll let out an unpleasant laugh. It also retracted the blade back inside its finger, and loudly declared: During this battle, Ill also tell you my story. Majic, keep an eye on Cleo. Orphen declared. There was nothing stopping him from getting to the altar, overturned wreckage and scattered boulders from the megalithic infantry was littered about the room. The altar was damaged, some of the statues were destroyed. The portrait was beyond repair, the once beautiful face of a woman now gone. Majic and Stephanie stood motionless by the main entrance, they were both stunned. Cleos cries could still be heard. Dortin both had his hands on their head, meanwhile Vulcan watched eagerly. There was a look of pleasure on the Killing Dolls face. At the same time, Orphen had a shocked expression, he was staring at the ceiling a strange object was falling to the ground. What? Orphen just looked at itit was a metal sphere about 50 cm in diameter, there wasnt any visible markings or even a seam. It was a ball. More balls continued to appear and float in the airsomehow they started to glow. Crackling! Electricity struck at ground in front of Orphens feet. Orphen was sent straight towards the ground, he started to rapidly chant a mantra. Sword of Light, whom I do release! He rolled as a blast of light emitted from his hand, heading straight towards the flying balls. It flew straight through them and impacted the ceilingit seemed to have no effect. That was a direct hit! I cant believe this. It was clear that the Doll was toying with him. Orphen looked at it with anger, but didnt say anything. He shifted his gaze back towards the floating balls. (What the hell, that was a direct hit. All Ive been able to do is let that Doll enjoy himself, but theres got to be something I can do.) Orphen thought for a moment, he then stood up and ran in the opposite directionthe metal balls pursed him. Ha ha ha! Run all you want, fool! Vulcan shouted. Orphen decided to throw an insult at him. Shut up, midget! Master! It was Majics voice. Majic and Stephanie had run to Cleos side, both of them picked up the crying girl. Orphen, please tell me you have a plan? Im working on it!
Looking at the fire, Majic was scared. Stephanie was trying to keep Cleo calm, meanwhile Orphen was thinking of what to do next. Its useless Orphen, you cant win. Leave me alone. Orphen now faced the altar. You said you wanted to tell me youre story, it doesnt matter anymore. I understand. Understand what? The Killing Dolls stared coldly. Orphen lifted up his head and smiled. Steph said that she made a mistake by waking you up, I found this very strange. Oh Steph could not have woke you up. For hundreds of years ago, the Heavenly Beings created you. Orphen? Stephanie asked, obviously puzzled. Orphen then pulled a pendant out from under his shirt. Reading magical characters is a tricky business, not everyone can do it. Its unbelievably hard work, even for those from theTower of Fang. Steph, I dont mean to belittle youbut it isnt possible for you to use those magical words. Let alone awaken a Killing Doll, using the Heavenly Beings magic isnt so simple. However Stephanie said as they looked towards the Killing Doll, it had begun to laugh loudly. What are you talking about, human sorcerer? I dont think she awoke you, it must have been preordained. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" The Killing Doll started laughing uncontrollably, as he stumbled backwards. Oh, my master! You fool! You miscalculated! You miscalculated! He then waved towards Orphen. My master He then put his hand on his head. We were supposed to wait two hundred years! He miscalculated it! Arent you supposed to be gods?! What the hell is going on? Stephanie asked. Orphen shook his head, and wiped his brow. Isnt it obvious? I guess so. And suddenly the Doll stopped laughing. Ill tell you something. A thousand years ago, when the Heavenly Beings were powerful. The battle ofBajirikokku Fort happened, and they won, or so the legend says. The Doll waved its arm mockingly. The legend is wrong, they failed! The walled city was completed destroyed, and the fort was lost. The doll then shrugged its shoulders. They all died from exposure toBajirikokkus poison. After the long battle, those who were left all waited to die as their bodies were eroded by the poison. If thats the casethey were still regarded as demi-gods. Even if the poison had a severe effect on them, it would take a while for them to die. That is true. But during that time they built canals and then the city, the humans came to the city and the two races became one. And this resulted in a mixed race, humans that could use magic. But nevertheless, I feel betrayed. Majic quietly crept up behind Orphen. Who betrayed him, master? The answer is simple. The Dolls lips were like a crescent moon as it smiled. Everyone betrayed each other. How so? Orphen asked. The Heavenly Beings were corrupted. The Heavenly Beings could survive for a while with the poison, but it was deadly to humans. The humans they came in contact with died one after another, and naturally the humans began to feel wary. The humans thought the Heavenly Beings wanted to obliterate mankind. The Heavenly Beings were jealous that the humans were increasing in numbers and gaining the powers of sorcery. Meanwhile the Heavenly Beings were low in number, and had a very low birth rate. As a result Yes. The time of the Sorcerer hunting began, and the Killing Dolls were created. The room went quiet. Then as if the Dolls mood changed, it raised its voice. Everyone betrayed each other because they didnt trust each other! Listen to yourself, you already know who betrayed who. We didnt betray anyone, because we remained calm. At that time, our orders were to eliminate human sorcerers. Nothing more, nothing less. Then why did the Heavenly Beings disappear? Majic asked, almost shouting. Then the dolls eyes opened wide, as he replied. Poison, their downfall was ensured by that damn poison. But Sister Isutashiba, shewanted to leave proof that they existed. The Doll raised its finger, and pointed towards the burnt portrait. She was a strong womanshe gave us an ultimatum. She wanted us to wipe out all mages in this city, but leave the normal humans alone. She also commanded that hundreds of other Killing Dolls were to be secretly hidden throughout the continent, waiting to commence their final command. Is that so? Orphen paid attention to the ceiling and the floating metal balls, he looked at Stephanie, and she then spoke. Its the truth. There are a lot of coffins stored in theBajirikokku Fort, inside there are Orphen spotted a metal ball crackling, and immediately shouted. Sword of Light, whom I do release! A torrent of light spun through the air, Orphens attack impacted the ball just as it was about to attack. The metal ball exploded into a million pieces. While avoiding the metal fragments, Orphen spoke to the Doll. So thats it. You blow them up, just as they are about to attack. Seems like youre little balls cant handle that much energy. BrotherBrother. Dortin had been listening up until now, and he spoke with fear in his voice. This is getting serious, lets get out of here. You should be ashamed!
The Killing Doll quickly analysed what Orphen was looking at, but it was too late From one of the statues, a blonde girl jumped at the Doll with a sword in one hand. You The Doll tried to outstretch its fingers, but it was too lateCleo brought the sword down upon the Killing Doll, cutting from its neck to its lower abdomen. Although no blood was spilled, the Doll looked badly damaged. Thepain! Cleos feet touched the ground, and screamed as she charged the Doll. Its eyes were now filled with anger, it raised its arms to protect itself. You filthy bitch! How dare you attack me! Sword of Light, whom I do release! Orphen lifted his arm and a blast of light flew towards the Killing Doll. Ahhhhhhh! The explosions made the Doll stagger but it sent Cleo to the ground, the Doll then retreated to the side of the altar. Orphen jumped up onto the altar and picked up the fallen Cleo, and whispered. You did a good job, partner. Cleo raised her face to look at him. Partner? She pondered on the word, with a look of surprise on her face. And then Bang! A white radiance of light was being emitted from the Dolls current location, accompanied by a wave of intense heat and wind it pushed Orphen and Cleo from the altar. Orphen stood up Looking upwards at the altar, Orphen was filled with terror. The Doll stood on the altar, apart from its injury, it looked relatively intact. Its cold eyes now looked down upon Orphen and Cleo. You dare attack me? You started it. Orphen stood up, and outstretch his arms to protect Cleo. He smiled and spoke. But dont worry, next time well get rid of those snazzy characters youve got all over your body. You wont get them all. In order to eliminate sorcerers, we were given hundreds of characters. And Orphen interrupted the Doll and spoke. Even if you have hundreds, losing even one means that you lose power. Playtime is over, you must be destroyed! He then reached into his chest, and pulled out a pendanta dragon wrapped around a sword. You are just a third rate doll! Bring it on! As you wish. The Doll cried, and moved its fingers towards its right shoulder. He pressed down and a magical character started to glownumerous arrows of light were sent towards Orphen. Spin around me, Armour of light! Orphen chanted the incantation, everyone around him was enveloped in a wall of light. But some of the arrows of light pierced through the barrier and struck the ground. ! It appeared Orphen had been injured by the resulting explosion, he was lucky that the arrow didnt hit him directly. He then looked around hastily, to confirm his companions condition. He was stunned. The entire room was in a mess. Pieces of the floor were all over the room, there was water everywhere. There was a giant hole in the ceiling where water was pouring through, they would even see the sky. The entire altar was destroyed, save for the statue of a Heavenly Being that was deliberately saved during the attack. The walls of the room were cracked, and water was seeping through. Endless particles of dust filled the room so that Orphen couldnt see. Cleo and Majic were most likely buried under some rubble. Bastard! Orphen shouted, he was going to look for his companionsbut he couldnt move his leg, it was numb. Oh, come on. Does it hurt? The Dolls cruel voice floated around the room. He then quietly approached Orphen from the rear, his skinny fingers extending to pinch Orphens neck. (I cant move) Orphen said inside himself. The Doll then spoke. This wont hurt a bit. The drug will take effect rather quickly, then you will be rendered inert. Its quite an innovative drug, wouldnt you say? Once youre mind has been cleansed, I will take away youre humanity. Dont expect that little girl to help you this time, for she is at my feet.unconscious. Orphen desperately tried to look though the dust, but to no avail. Meanwhile, the Doll continued to talk. If youre wondering about that other black sorcerer, its useless. To save you the effort, Ill tell you where she is. Shes currently at the altar, buried under rubble. How sad, how tragic. But what about your student? Majic! Can you hear me? Behind him came the Dolls sarcastic voice. But Orphen ignored it, and tried talking to Majic. To defeat this third rate doll I need your strength. Listen, you should be able to use youre magic. Orphen listened for an answer, a bead of sweat fell from his forehead. Ill teach you the basic methods of casting magic. Listenyouve got to keep your eye on the target. Focus on the target and clear your mind, the breath. Breath slowly so that youre body becomes relaxed. The more you breath, the stronger youre attack becomes. There was no response. (Did he hear me?) Orphen was getting desperate. If youve done that, then youre ready. Those vocal exercise better have paid off, use that light attack just like I showed you. For a moment, tension filled the air. Sword of Light Huh? Both Orphen and the Killing Doll turned around. whom I do release! Orphen couldnt believe his eyes, a huge ball of light and heat was sent in his direction. It flew past the Killing Doll burning it, and hit the walls of the hall. It easily penetrated the wall, shaking the entireBajirikokku Fort. This guy? The Doll was shaken, but ready to fight. So much power When the ball of light and heat dissipated, water poured through the open hole. The Doll now seemed to relax his bodyOrphen seized this opportunity to take the needle out of his neck, pulling off the dolls finger caused him some pain. (Get your hand off me, creep!) At the same time, Orphen ordered his body to pick up Cleos sword at his feet. He swung the sword towards the Dolls neck and got stuck halfway through cutting off its head. Orphen then let go of the sword and began chanting an incantation. Sword of the Descending Demon, that I doth carry! In Orphens hand, a humming noise could be heard, as if there was an invisible sword, it began to increase in weight. Orphen starred at the sword stuck in the Dolls neck, he then brought the invisible sword up to the left side of the Dolls neck and slashed. He kept slashing and stabbing until his sword touched that of Cleos, and then with one last swing the Dolls head went flying through the air. The Dolls head flew for a couple of meters, and landed in a mountain or rubble, then it rolled to the ground. It continued to roll until it stopped right in front of the Heavenly Being statue. Orphen watched the entire thing, meanwhile he was unconsciously stroking Cleos blonder hair. Its over Whack! The Dolls body slammed against the ground, Orphen wore a weary smile. He then looked at the giant whole which Majic created with his attack, water was pouring through, the entire room would be flooded within ten minutes. (That guyhe was quite the challenge, yet he wasnt even human.) M-M-M-Master! Majic shouted. How did you do that? As Majic approached Orphen, he saw that he didnt look happy. Well, I just You moron! Orphen suddenly got angry, and threw some rubble at Majic. What was that for? You tell me, look at your hands! Listening to Orphen, Majic looked at his hands with a puzzled expression. My hands! Theyre burnt! You hurt yourself with that spell, which tells me that you didnt aim properly when you attacked! Moreover, you missed the doll too! I didnt know if I would succeed. Damn it, didnt you listen to my instructions?
Stephanie said as she approached, Orphen was about to respond but Ahahahaha! A burst of laughter interrupted him At the statue of the Heavenly Being, the Dolls head laughed aloud for a while, then it spoke. Do you think its over?! After I stop functioning, another doll will wake up and take my place! I have a thousand compatriots, do you really think you can take them on?! Orphen silently stood up. What will you do? Orphen didnt answer. He went straight towards the body of the Killing Doll, and lifted it into the air. Orphen then looked towards Dortin and Vulcan and asked them a question. Did any of you guys see him destroy the Alliance of Sorcerers building? Well, I By the way, I fainted. Vulcan said in a rather proud tone, Orphen had to smash a piece of rubble to silence him. Orphen asked Dortin again. Did you see where the Doll wrote the magical character? I remember You bastard! The Doll screamed. Shut up! Dont speak out of turn. If we can draw the character again with the Dolls fingers, then well be able to reproduce the effect. Dortin showed Orphen how to draw the character, then suddenlyexplosions and tornados started to go off all around them. The first of escape was Vulcan and Dortin, followed by Majic and Cleo, Orphen was ready to go but someone grabbed him from behind. Steph. Orphen looked at her, with a puzzled expression. Whats wrong? I want to ask you something. After listening to the Dolls words, dont you feel anything? What did he say? Dont you remember? Those things he said about the Heavenly Beings. If its true, the persecution of sorcerers in this city all happened because of a misunderstanding There were tears in Stephanies eyes, Orphen just shrugged. Well, theres nothing we can do about that. He then looked back towards the Dolls head, and the now flooding room. I wouldnt believe anything that bastard said, youd never know if he was telling the truth or not. But, do you believe him? Assuming that the Heavenly Beings were being eroded by the poison, it was probably also infectious. Then its possible that the half breeds created from the union of regular humans and the Heavenly Beings also inherited the poison. If this is true, then perhaps a large percentage if not all humans are infected with the Bajirikokku fort poison. If left unchecked, this could be the downfall of humanity as we know it. In order to avoid this outcome, a purge may be needed. So,Sister Isutashiba was dying and she ordered the Dolls to kill the sorcerers. Knowing full well that other humans may be infected? She must have had her reasons. Anyway, we can be thankful that the Dolls didnt carry out their mission. For if they did, we wouldnt be here to talk about it. Orphen then motioned for her to go forward, he was about to leave too but he turned aroundand looked at the now burnt portrait of Sister Isutashiba. Alls well that ends well. Orphen smiled and looked the Dolls head, now half submerged in water. It was titled upwards, looking at the statue of a Heavenly Being, a statue ofSister Isutashiba. Anyway, theres no evidence to say that all the Heavenly Beings were killed. For all we know, they are walking among us today. Though lets hope that we wont have any more misunderstandings. TheBajirikokku fort now started to shake violently, Orphen and the group quickly left the place. Translators Notes Man was this chapter long, it was like an extra 10 pages than the last one. But anyways, its done now. If you noticed, Im now using Heavenly Beings instead of Celestial Beings. I went with Heavenly Beings because thats what ADV used in their translation, even though both are right. I also didnt know if I should have used a gender neutral pronoun for the Killing (Murder) Doll, so youll see both he and it throughout the chapter. I also forgot to put Steph in when Orphen talks to Stephanie in the last chapter(s), this is mainly because I actually forgot about that. But itll all be fixed when I go check the entire book when Im done. Im also looking into getting a limited print release of the first and probably second Orphen novel, Id like to hear about what you think about this. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the translation and I want to know what you think about the translation.
