Chapter 523 bring out a vase. [2/2]
As I looked at her information, I noticed something."Flowers?"
My ability to see people's information was something I had yet to share with others. Except for the Sirens, who had acquired my abilities, I had deliberately kept it a secret. Mostly because it was rude, and some things were better left unknown.
However, the few times I did use it, it was to get a better handle on the person. Besides the Sirens and I, few knew that the Soulgears not only came from the Soulgems, but still had their egos.
There was another woman whose last name was Flowers. And she was someone to whom Hellsend owed a great debt. She was Evelyn Flowers, the Reaper who created the {Fate} {Honey Trap}.
'Did Nyda know? That her sister was long gone? How else could her soulgem be used as a soulgear? I even have three of her!'
"Nyda, what is her name?"
"Huh?"
"What's your sister's name, the one you want to save?"
Suddenly energized by my interest, Nyda quickly wiped away her tears and answered.
"Her name is Evelyn, my lord."
'Fuck...Exa,
Leo and Nyda, surprised by our outburst, drew a blank as they watched in confusion.
Phillip shrugged and answered calmly.
"There is not much I can tell you, my lord. As I told you before. The Graveyard is not run by any of the battle fronts. We are simply users allowed to interact with the system."
"Then how is the soulgear of someone who was never recovered circulating between the battlefronts?"
"As I said, my lord. I do not know. All we can deduce from the information at hand is that someone who had the original sold it in the graveyard. They must have made the replicas from that original."
I stood up from my chair, disturbed by what I had just learned. Nyda, who was able to follow our train of thought, screamed in disbelief.
"Stop kidding me! Are you telling me that my sisters' soulgear is circulating in Hellsgate? That is a lie! You can only make it from the original soulgem! That would mean that the reaper is 100% dead! My sister is alive!
I have proof!"
Nyda then pulled out a picture of a beautiful raven-haired woman staring absentmindedly into the sky.
I remembered Phillip's lesson.
"Well, the next combinations are only in Hellsgate, but they still fit that explanation pretty well. A dead body without a soul but with a spirit is a zombie. A human form with a soul but no spirit is either a golem or a sentient undead or something similar. Finally, a spirit with a soul but no body would be a ghost."
This meant that the being in the picture was Evelyn's body, but without her soul, it was nothing more than a zombie. It didn't take a genius to figure out why she was in perfect health after being gone for four years.
'She must have been turned into a doll by the vampires.'
I turned to Joshua and asked bluntly. "Joshua, bring out a vase."
Angela, holding one of the soulgears, placed it on the table. The lewd vase has helped us almost from the beginning. It was extremely pitiful to know that the owner of the {Fate} had not yet found peace. Your next journey awaits at empire
The racist Korean looked dejected as she activated the Soulgear. "{Honey Trap}."
At her command, the sweet scent began to fill the room. Seeing and smelling the soulgear, Nyda began to wail as she cried harder than before.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! IT IS A LIE! IT IS A LIE! IT'S A TRICK! SISTER! SISTER UWAHHHH!!!!"
Her husband Leo quickly embraced her to hold her arms. The pain and anguish in her voice was palpable. Earlier she had cried because she had to abandon her sister. Now she finally understood that Evelyn Flowers had already left the world of the Reapers.
Claire and Yvonne, called out their {Fates} and began to bless Nyda, who was having a breakdown. What little hope she had was extinguished by the reality before her.
Not only was her sister dead, but her body was being defiled by an unknown enemy.
The rest of us could only wait in silence. Such were the horrors of Hellsgate. The deeper you went, the more nightmares you encountered. But while I pitied Nyda and her sister. My mind wondered about something else.
If Evelyn's body was never found. Then it would stand to reason that her body and her soulgem would be in the same place. If the body was still alive and well on the 32nd floor. Then that meant that whoever had the original soulgem should be there as well.
It was a long shot. But the possible information was worth investigating. And just by recovering her body, we could use Delroy's {Advent}, Connie's {Snapshot}, or even Van's {Mind Trace}.
'Hmm... the problem would be how can we find the body if it wanders somewhere?'
[My Lord. Wouldn't Pixie Richard's {Compass} be quite useful here?]
"You are right. It seems that our first mission outside the defenses has been set. It won't be on the front lines. But it will be exciting."
[My Lord, only you would think that hunting for a corpse through Hellsgate is exciting.]
Then I walked over to the crying Nyda. She had calmed down a bit, but was still trembling like a child. I had no words of comfort to give her. Only a promise of possible revenge.
"Nyda, I owe your sister a great deal. Evelyn Flowers is someone who has fought with me since my first night. She is a member of Hellsend. To you, her living relative. I make a simple promise. Hellsend will use all its power to bring her back and kill those who have harmed her.
I swear this in my name."
