It is my Destiny to be the Savior of the Protagonist

Leda laughed mischievously. Ariadne opened her mouth, careful not to tremble in her voice.

“The Duke did as you told him, like a puppet?”

“Because Franz is an idiot who can calculate the wealth and honor that the Elixir will bring.”

“Nonsense. You mean he only trusted your idea and invested?”

“Then you have to believe it. I mean, how can you not believe it?”

“What are you?”

‘She’s a woman who doesn’t even appear in the original novel.’

If the Duke had been thrown away by Leda right after the elixir was completed, it might not have appeared in the novel as the developer from Axel Valentine’s point of view.

‘But, it doesn’t make sense.’

She is only the second daughter of a baron. She didn’t even look that old. Before she was born, Leda would have been a young girl in her twenties at most. She may be younger than that. Should the Duke believe Leda Picaro’s words and give birth to a child and experiment as she told him? She couldn’t believe it.

“Who am I?”

Leda grabbed Ariadne by the chin and lifted her up.

“I am Leda Pikaro, a wizard who received a black cup. What do you mean?”

The fact that she received the black cup meant that she gained power by selling her soul to the demon realm. In this world being encroached on by the Demon Realm, such people were literally traitors to humanity. Because they were people who have given up on being human. Ordinary human beings couldn’t receive the black cup even if they wanted to. Only those who were useful, qualified, and whose humanity has been ruined received the black cup. Most of them were wizards. People called the wizards who received the black cup separately.

Ariadne responded like a moan.

“The Warlock.”

“You even know our nicknames. Most people don’t know.”

Leda said with a funny expression.

If it’s a black magician, it’s understandable that the Duke passed over. They were the ones who have the knowledge of the demon realm and the power that transcends human beings in one body. What she still didn’t understand is the fact that the black magician, the devil’s nemesis, conceived the elixir.

“Why does a warlock need an elixir?”

“To get ahead.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Did you know that there are forces in the demon realm too? It is broadly divided into three categories, well, to put it simply for humans, it is monsters, labyrinths, and contamination. Under the command of the Demon King, three lords are occupying Elysium in their own way.”

It was something that wasn’t in the original. The Demon King appeared at the end of the Great Labyrinth, but there was no such thing as the Three Lords.

‘Ah, are they the middle bosses of the Great Labyrinth? Were they three lords?’

“How about it, which of the three do you think is the most lethal to humans?”

“…Pollution.”

The formation of the labyrinth and the pouring of monsters were dangerous. However, the end of this world was due to the increasing number of polluted areas. Leda said disapprovingly.

“Yeah, pollution goes too far. Humans are so lacking in pollution countermeasures. At this rate, the Swamp Keeper’s followers will take most of the credit.”

“The Swamp Keeper is the lord of the polluted faction, and you belong to a different faction.”

“That’s right, I belong to the Labyrinth.”

“So, you developed an elixir to dampen the pollution? To help humans fight pollution better?”

“You understand quickly.”

“To aid the enemy for the benefit of one’s own faction, even the Demon Realm is a dead end.”

“Enemy? Do you think this fragile world will become our enemy? This level of help is a small entertainment.”

Leda, sneering at her, grabbed her again.

“Do you know why I am telling you all this?”

“Because I am a child who will die anyway?”

“It’s good that you speak well. The elixir has already been spread, so it’s time to implement the next plan. There is something I need to make of you.”

Ariadne dragged herself back to the clearing where the magic circle was. Leda sat her down in her corner.

“It seems that you are resistant to the drug, so please wait patiently here. It’s not long.”

Leda smiled and licked her lips. With her low whisper, a stone grew from her floor and she entangled Ariadne’s feet. After she saw that she was pinned down, Leda went inside the cave. Ariadne sat down against the wall of the cave and took a deep breath.

She’s about to vomit because of the things she’s been told by Leda Picaro.

<Thanks to that, you have a lot of half siblings.>

<But all but you failed and died.>

She knew at least that the Duke didn’t marry her mother because he loved her mother, but she was a suitable test subject in the first place. She swallowed the rising disgust and anger. She shouldn’t get caught up in this again. She could only survive if she stayed calm.

‘It’s the original truth. Originally, this is a novel, and this is a world.’

Although the content did not appear in the original, it was a story that matched the atmosphere of the original.

‘Even the main character was stabbed in the back of the head and died because the colleague he trusted the most was an apostle of the Demon Realm.’

Betrayal was everywhere, and the worst enemy was always entangled with the Devil World. For the past few years, she must have forgotten because she lived so peacefully among warm people.

‘But that’s true, the Pandemonium was connected behind the ship even with the Elixir.’

Did the Duke get the black cup too? No, he wouldn’t. He was just a vicious person who fell for the bait of an elixir and made a deal with a black magician.

‘In the original work, the Duke Axel dealt with was an ordinary human being. If he had been given the black cup, he would have been desperate with that power when he died.’

Why didn’t Leda Picaro exist at that point? She didn’t think the Duke could have killed the warlock. Apparently, in the original work, Leda left the Duke after creating Glamus.

‘Then, is Glamus made to dampen the force of pollution?’

Elementalists were the natural enemies of pollution. Elementalists could create spirit stones and prevent contamination by making the area around them a territory of spirits. Without the Elementalist, it was almost impossible to stay in a contaminated area for a long time and fight. Therefore, to subdue the labyrinth, a spirit mage was essential. The problem was that the number of Elementalists was small. The Elemental Commander was always valuable. There’s a reason why you couldn’t help but be precious. That’s why there were young spirit knights, but no young spirit wizards.

Ariadne touched the stone that entangled her feet. There seemed to be no way out unless it was broken with a hammer.

‘Let’s untie this, but there’s a blizzard outside.’

There was no time to wait for rescue.

‘In the end, that’s the only way.’

She had no choice but to become an Elementalist right now.

‘I know the theory perfectly. It’s more scary.’

The original work was a novel centered on the main character, and the main character was a spirit knight. So, in the novel, the explanation about the Elementalist wasn’t that detailed. When she read only novels, she knew that becoming an Elementalist at a young age was dangerous, but she didn’t know exactly how dangerous it was. With the help of Pi, she read several books on spiritism, and now she knew it well. She knew it too well. To become a psychic, she needed to undergo a guide procedure, but a child with an immature body couldn’t stand it.

‘Of course I have to engrave a magic circle on my body and embed a spirit stone into it.’

It was a procedure that often caused side effects even in adults. It depended on your size, but you had to be at least 16 years old to try it.

‘But it’s even crazier to use spirit magic without undergoing the guide treatment.’

Crazy or whatever, she couldn’t help it. The only means left was this.

Ariadne closed her eyes and concentrated. After receiving the guide treatment, the channel opened automatically, and the desired Great Spirit freely accessed it. But without a guide, she had to open the channels manually. She continued to signal and so on until the nearby Great Spirit responded.

‘In my previous life, it’s like sending spam emails endlessly until I open them… I can’t help it.’

Anyway, as long as the Great Spirit answers the signal, a connection opens up a channel in her soul.

‘After connecting, I can only pray for forgiveness after looking at my situation.’

First of all, we had to find the territory of the Great Spirit closest to here. It wasn’t difficult because people with spirit affinity would naturally feel the spirit. In particular, the Great Spirit was an overwhelmingly strong being, so it was easier to detect. Because it was so huge that it could not be contained in a human body, there were no spirit knights who contracted with the Great Spirit. She immediately felt the Great Spirit. The body tilted as if being pulled to one side. It was very close.

‘Wait a minute, come to think of it.’

Speaking of the closest Great Spirit to the chin of the snowy mountain near the blizzard castle, it was obvious who it was. She grabbed her head and murmured like her moans.

“It’s a permanent snow crown…”

Among the birthday presents from the year before last, there was a ‘Great Spirit Encyclopedia’. As soon as she received the encyclopedia, she started looking for the ice crown. It was because he was a great spirit that she wanted to be connected to if she became an Elementalist, even for Weaver’s sake. On the page of the ice crown she opened like that, there was a caution written in bright red letters.

– Despise humans.

– Denied channel access.

– I have killed the Elementalist of the channel I was forcibly connected to.

– In case of accidental connection, it is recommended to disconnect and block immediately.

(There have been cases of reconnecting and taking revenge)
