In the Northern Land -Middle Part-

A cheerful laughter echoed inside the hall.

When she heard it, Velgrind regained her composure.

She didn’t feel anxious anymore about her body being controlled and not moving as she wanted it.

A bigger problem than that was that her foolish younger brother, Veldora, could see her current pathetic figure that was being controlled by someone―― So Velgrind thought.

That was unpleasant...

Very unpleasant.

For her disgraceful figure to been seen by him not just once, but twice, Velgrind thought this would greatly hurt her dignity as an older sister.

(That fool, it seems he thinks I was being controlled and get carried away……)

She felt anger boiling up inside her when she heard his loud laughter.

When Velgrind calmed down, she inspected her body carefully once more.

As before, her body didn’t respond to her own will. However, when she investigated the cause, she noticed that some kind of meddling was done through the Ultimate Skill engraved deep inside her heart[1].

Is this the reason――?

A fragile corridor connected to Ultimate Skill『Justice Lord Michael』was constructed with Ultimate Skill『Charity Lord Raguel』as the axis.

Velgrind realized that the “Ultimate Dominion” Lucia had declared was done via this corridor.

And, that meant the control circuits were inside the Ultimate Skill itself from the very beginning……

(In other words, this was the mechanism that older brother created for emergency control, something like that――)

Velgrind found out the true nature of the mechanism that manipulated Velzard and herself in this event.

If her older brother was the one who built the mechanism that meant it would be near impossible to cancel it.

Although her despair had disappeared with Veldora’s appearance, the situation was still bad.

She wanted to click her tongue bitterly, but her body wouldn’t do as it was told.

(Well, what should I do now?)

At the moment Velgrind thought so, a mysterious voice echoed deep inside her.

――《If you desire it, I shall grant you even more power》――

So, the mysterious voice whispered to her.

It wasn’t something simple like an auditory hallucination; a clear and strong will could be sensed from the voice.

It sounded similar to “Voice of the World”, but a bit soft and refined gentleness could be felt from it.

The problem was the meaning behind its words.

(Even more power, you said? If I obtained it, can I overcome this situation?)

――《It’s possible, so I assure you》――

(I see, it’s possible. Then, there’s no need to hesitate!)

Velgrind consented without any hesitation.

Yes.

For Velgrind, if she could break through this situation――a situation that exposed her unsightly appearance to her foolish younger brother, Veldora―― She wouldn’t hesitate even if she had to shake hands with the devil.
