CHAPTER 98: GHOST OF THE PAST

The serpent left me at the surface and remained close by. Upon reaching the shore, I looked for the ghost woman, but it was nowhere to be found. Only after calling it for nearly half an hour did it decide to appear in front of me.

“Y-you, how are you still alive?”

Her reaction came as a surprise to me, she definitely knew that the serpent was living in this lake and already crossed me off as dead. I guess that from the very beginning she was planning on killing me off and that is why she gave that task to me. She may be the only one that can stop the rain, but her attitude towards me kept giving me the chills.

“I fought with the serpent and won, isn’t it obvious from the fact that I am here? Shouldn’t you have warned me since you knew about it all before sending me to look for your accursed pendant.”

“Tsk, well since you’re here, give me the gem. I know you have it.”

What the heck, her personality completely changed. Also, I suddenly don’t feel like giving away a legendary item, especially not after she practically confirmed wanting to kill me. I was planning on telling her off when the surface of the lake stirred up and erupted. The serpent that was lying still all this time made its move.

“Devil woman why are you here?! I ssshall kill you again.”

The serpent lunged immediately at the two of us. I was surprised at this sudden burst of rage and immediately moved away from the area to escape the attack. What does it mean kill it again? Is this ghost woman the one that was killed long ago by the serpent, among others that imprisoned it here?

“Why is that serpent alive? Didn’t you say you defeated it?”

“I never said anything about killing it. Care to explain how the two of you know each other?”

“Devil woman usssed the cursssed itemsss to capture me. Why can’t I kill her?”

So this is the person that wielded the sword and gem so long ago. I never would have thought this to be the case. Well since I promised the serpent to help it out, I guess it is only natural to go against this ghost woman. Not to mention it held animosity towards me.

“You can never get rid of me. I am the very power that I once held. Now that I am no longer bound by my physical body. Nothing can kill me! Girl, come and give me the pendant, don’t you want the rain to stop?”

“Don’t you dare… ssshe mussst die!”

“What can you do? I will never stop the rain and you cannot win against me. You may have the blessings of the elements, but you only lived a mere handful of years. You will never be able to compare to the power of my years of existence. If you don’t give me the pendant, I shall kill you and take it from your corpse and then I will rule this world once again.”

A crazy ghost with ambition to become an overlord, truly a disturbing situation, not to mention a troublesome one as well. Even if I give it the gem, I am afraid it will still kill me and then even more trouble will start to brew and that is something I definitely don’t want to deal with.

“I just had a thought… if I simply defeat you then the rain will stop. Man, I should have done this from the very start. At least this way I would have saved myself the trouble I went through.”

“Haha, you can’t even touch me. I am a spirit, an ethereal form, one that had overcome death. I cannot die. Ha ha ha ha!”

“Are you sure about that? Don’t you know who I am, I was quite surprised when you addressed me with my title upon our meeting. As you called me, I am the Death’s Daughter, right?”

“Hmph, all mortals are children of death, ignorant human.”

Oh, so that is what she meant. I thought she knew about my title and that is why she called me like that. Unlucky for her, I should be able to deal with her.

“Kill her! I will ssstrike her down and you help me kill her again, devil human.”

“Don’t worry little serpent, I will show you the might I possess. You will see that the one you pledged your allegiance to is not someone to be taken lightly.”

I placed my hand on the ground and soon a summoning circle appeared shining brightly and illuminating the entire underground cavern.

“Both elemental and summoning magic, I must say that among the ignorant humans, you are the most surprising one. But no matter what you bring here it will not be able to touch me.”

According to the book Thanatos-sama gave me, the size of the summoning circle indicated the power of the creature summoned, and Daphira, whom I was summoning, was a deity beast. The ghost woman didn’t show any reaction, but the serpent was slowly pulling away from me. He himself, as a monster, must have felt the suppression Daphira was exerting even before being completely materialized.

“Nao-chan I am here, I have missed you so very much. Tell me how can I help you? Later on you must promise to summon me more often.”

A black velvety butterfly landed on my head and greeted me cheerfully. By now, the serpent had entirely retreated and moved below surface, but the ghost woman upon seeing Daphira burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, your might? That bug is just a bug. What do you expect to do with such a weak monster. I don’t think I can even call it like that. Are you sure that you didn’t summon a wrong thing.”

I ignored her remark and just talked to Daphira.

“This one seemed to have escaped Thanatos’ hands and I just heard it planning to cause trouble. I don’t think he will like extra work if something were to happen. Do you think you can do something about it?”

“Many escape his hands, but this one remained here for way too long and seems to have grown complacent about her power when she is nothing but a wisp of consciousness. Nao-chan let me teach you something. Whenever you see one of my siblings, and have a very troublesome ghost or spirit, you can use this special power that you possess.”

I listened carefully to what she was saying. This power sounded like it will not belong under the category of skills or magic since she said it can only be used when there are hellbbutterflies near me. Just like she explained, I focused my mana and aura around me and Daphira and then imagined a thread binding the hell butterfly to the ghost woman. Raising my hand, I chanted the incantation.

“By my connection to Death and my right to command, I declare to you: Dead should be dead.”
