Chapter 64: Taking Up Too Much Wordtime.

  This was all quite a bit unexpected. Celia is supposed the one leading my narration, as it is one that mainly details her life. As such, I would very much like to return to Celia soon, but I truly needed to do at least one more protagonist-like thing before I do so…

  Eternanel: “You… can’t be seriously considering sealing my power, right? Perhaps I am weak now, but the seal will require you to take on my peak power…” She hurriedly expressed, seemingly more concerned with my wellbeing than her own strength about to be restricted.

  Narrator Vulely: “…”

  Eternanel: “Vulely… don’t do this, please! You aren’t stronger than me, so doing this, sealing my power… will end your life seconds after!!!” She exclaimed, now trying to break my hold again.

  But I held her down, regardless of the justified protests coming out of Eternanel’s mouth. And, no. She isn’t lying so that I’ll stop. It is true, I’ll die from doing this.

  Eternanel is exaggerating the time I’d have left, though. The seal wouldn’t instantly spell my death, I should have many more years of life to live, actually. I am willing to die for this family… but the sacrifice won’t be me. After all, there was one body missing from this family corpse pile…

  Guanyu: “Is this your revenge for how I’ve treated you, Vulely?” She asked with a small laugh, unphased by the scene in front of her.

  Narrator Vulely: “Me? But… you’ve always treated me quite well.” I replied with a confused tone and expression.

  Guanyu: “Oh, is that so? It would seem that you went for a different path in your timeline, then.” She replied with an approving tone and nod.

  Narrator Vulely and Eternanel: “( ? _ ? )”

  Eternanel doesn’t… seem to know Guanyu at all. That would explain why she is still alive. If no one else was willing to kill Eternanel to save the family, Guanyu would fill that role without so much of a second thought.

  Guanyu: “My family lie on the ground, dead. Celia, my dearest beloved, her life taken, stolen, all while I was gone…” She expressed with a heart full of sorrow, as she looked at the makeshift open-air grave that Eternanel set up, mainly gazing at her wife.

  Narrator Vulely: “If…” My words were cut off.

  Guanyu: “If I was here, then there’d be no problem. I know that very well, and you do not need to drive that nail even further into my heart and Soul. My absence was not my doing or wish, but that doesn’t lessen the pain at all.” She said with a deep sigh, holding back tears.

  Eternanel: “W-wait… you two, even together, the cost will still be high.” She abruptly added, fearing for her future.

  Guanyu: “Silence, Mana bitch.” She sternly demanded, before then many swords appeared out of nowhere, stabbing and pinning Eternanel painfully to the ground, each blade tactfully avoiding me.

  Eternanel and Narrator Vulely: “…”

  Guanyu: “Listen here, murderer of my loved ones… You get to keep your life, merely, and solely because of our family’s softness. Regardless, I will show you no love, no comfort, nor any hint of respect. And, of course, this sealing will use up all of my life, assuring that you’ll be far too weak for this slaughter to happen another time. I won’t be gentle, you shall remember this pain for all eternity.” She seriously stated, forcing Eternanel to look up at her, nearly ripping the woman’s head off as she did so.
