Yu-Gi-Oh!: Phobic Peptide Mad Dragon Executioner Dragon

"What are you all thinking about all day long...?"

Elise looked at Irena and the others speechlessly.

"Ahaha...sorry, sorry."

With Elise's explanation, the misunderstanding was quickly cleared up.

But is it really a misunderstanding?

Irena looked at Elise and Stella, who were practically touching, and expressed her doubt.

At the same time, he lifted Sophia up a little, nuzzled her head with his chin, and, ignoring her struggles, carried her to the room to rest.

Elise and Stella were sorting through supplies, while people taking refuge at the shelter lined up to receive them.

"Here, this one is for you."

"Little friend, here's a bag of candy."

"Grandpa, this is the medicine we agreed on last time."

……

Soon, the supplies were distributed, but there was still one person standing in front of them.

"I'm very sorry, there was a mistake in our statistics. I will send you my copy later."

Alice bowed and apologized. She was puzzled. The supplies were prepared according to the number of people, and there were no other outsiders registered. Why were there fewer supplies?

But there was nothing she could do; the fault lay with them, and as the older sister, she had no choice but to apologize.

"No, thank you. I don't need any supplies."

Alice looked up at him strangely, unsure of what he meant.

"Why not? This one, uh..."

She found herself unable to determine the gender of the person in front of her, or even remember their appearance or posture. As soon as she looked away, she couldn't recall what the person in front of her looked like.

The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the person in front of us is "a human being".

“My name is Nianzhong. You can call me sir. I am just a traveler passing through this place. I apologize for not registering me before. I apologize for visiting you without my permission.”

"Ah, it's alright, but Mr. Nianzhong, where are you... from?"

Alice was curious. With demons roaming the outside world, no one would choose to travel at this time. What was the deal with this Mr. Nianzhong?

"Where did I come from... Good question. I don't know where I came from. I just hear someone calling me and I can't help but follow them. Before I know it, I've been to many places."

He was a little emotional.

"I've met other purgatory girls along the way, and I've asked them the same question. The answers I got were surprisingly consistent. Now, please allow me to ask: Why did you become a purgatory girl?"

"To avert all sorrow and weeping."

Elise said seriously, her expression very solemn.

"The same answer: to use one's human body to avert all sorrow and weeping... A respectable awareness, but isn't saying 'all' a bit too extreme?"

"Perhaps, but it is my duty. I will do everything in my power to save every living being within my sight, even if it means saving just one more."

He smiled.

"Duty, huh... As expected of the savior girl. Well then, farewell, Miss Mikaeliris, the guardian of the sun."

He disappeared.

"Sister Alice, what are you daydreaming about?"

Stella waved to Elise, wondering why she kept staring at the air in front of her.

"Huh? I'm talking to Mr. Nianzhong."

"Mr. Nianzhong? Who is that?"

"Yes, yes... I can't remember..."

"Sister, are you just too tired lately and seeing things? Do you want to go and rest?"

"No, it's okay."

Elise was certain that what she had just seen was not an illusion.

The man who called himself Nian Zhong was not just a traveler, nor was he a human possessed by a demon.

The exorcising girl who wears the holy artifact will have a faint sense of demons. She can achieve the effect of "seeing the true name" by covering her eyes with the holy water energy released by the holy artifact. For some weak demons, she can even use this to exorcise them by declaring their true name.

The person I just spoke to was clean and pure; the feeling of talking to him was like basking in the sunshine on a sunny winter day—warm, but not intense.

What a strange person.

Elise didn't delve into it. Since the other party wasn't possessed by a demon and didn't have any ill intentions towards them, they didn't need to bother with it.

As the older sister, she still has a lot of work to do.

It wasn't until nearly evening that Elise finally had time to sit down and rest for a while.

The organization and arrangement of refugees from outside the area, the coordination and statistics of relief supplies from headquarters, the security management of resettlement sites... everything needs to be approved by her as the team leader in order to operate in an orderly manner.

If only Sister Malfa were here.

There was no one else around, and she wasn't trying to maintain her "older sister" persona at the moment. She slumped in her chair, staring blankly ahead.

Where are you now, Sister Malfa...?

She didn't stay negative for long; she got up and patted her face with both hands to cheer herself up.

"Alright! Time to get back to work!"

There are still people waiting for her to "save" them.

However, just as she stood up, she saw that pink color that haunted her dreams at the corner of the wall not far ahead.

"elder sister?"

At that moment, the man who called himself Nianzhong was standing on the top of the station building, watching Alice leave the station.

"Soon, it will be the hour of twilight..."

Alice chased after that pink figure all the way out of the station. The figure kept wandering through the city ruins, but would stop for a moment when Alice couldn't keep up, as if guiding her somewhere.

But Alice, whose mind was in turmoil, did not notice anything amiss. She simply kept chasing after it, trying to touch that pink color.

Finally, on the rooftop of an abandoned building, the figure stopped, turned around, and looked at Alice with a smile.

Behind it, Venus is shining brightly (Venus is the brightest star in the sky above Malfacaturi, indicating that it is almost night).

The evening breeze ruffled her long pink hair, and the afterglow of the setting sun painted her with a soft silhouette. She paused and looked back, her expression brimming with tenderness even though she didn't say a word.

"Sister Malfa..."

Elise murmured aloud.

She spoke with a smile, but it sent a chill down Elise's spine.

"Long time no see, Mikaellis."

Elise grasped the holy artifact on her chest.

My sister Malfa always called her Elise.

She instantly donned her attire, gripped her longsword, pointed it at "Marfa," and demanded sharply, "You're not my sister, who are you?!"

"Malfah's" smile grew wider as the sun slowly sank behind him.

"Of course I'm your dear sister Malfa, and of course, I am too..."

"Malfa" paused, his smile growing increasingly sinister.

"Oh, the devil."

The sun disappeared.

It was getting dark.

Countless black wisps emerged from "Marfa's" body, enveloping it to form a "cocoon," which then rapidly expanded and burst open, revealing its true form within.

"Did you miss me? My dear sister?"

His tone was full of mockery and contempt.

An indescribable anger surged within Alice, and she rushed forward without thinking.

"Give my sister back to me!"

The so-called "Marfa" is actually a horned demon possessing Marfa.

It's that horned demon who disappeared along with Malfa.

And what it was holding at that moment was the trident that originally belonged to Malfa.

So where is Malfa? The answer is self-evident.

Thrusts, sweeps, and slashes—Elise used every technique at her disposal, launching attack after attack against the horned demon.

The horned demon easily dodged Elise's continuous attacks, while Malfa's trident occasionally darted out from the gaps, forcing Elise to retreat and defend.

It looked at Alice, who was clearly furious but unable to defend herself, and let out a wild laugh.

"Hahaha! You're far inferior to your sister, yet she actually agreed to the deal! Hahaha! How foolish!"

Alice trembled with fear, recalling hearing words like "deal" when she was in a daze, and a terrible guess came to her mind.

"Originally, I wanted to possess you. Tsk tsk tsk, the guardian of the sun, overflowing with power, a young body, you were simply the perfect vessel! But unfortunately, the power of the sun was too strong, and I was too weak at the time to resist it."

It revealed a pleased smile.

"But thank you for your sisterly love! I made a deal with your dear sister."

Its smile grew increasingly sinister.

"I'll use you as a bargaining chip to make a deal with your sister, in exchange for her being possessed by me!"

"Shut up!"

Elise broke down, recklessly activating the holy artifact. The immense power enveloped the sword, and she thrust it with all her might towards the ram-horned demon.

"It's useless~"

It swung its trident and easily parried Elise's longsword.

"I know your moves, strength, and abilities perfectly well, and since we are both sacred artifacts, you can't destroy my weapon, hahaha!"

Suddenly, it showed a look of disgust.

“I didn’t want to come to you, but your sister doesn’t have much time left, and I need a new body.”

Seeing Alice's bewildered expression, it chuckled.

"No way, no way, you don't know your sister doesn't have long to live? Hahaha! It's not my fault, she overused the holy artifact, her body couldn't take it anymore. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't even be alive now!"

To bear the power of gods with a mortal body comes at a price.

How many times has Malfa used the Holy Artifact? Elise didn't know, but just considering the number of times she used the Holy Artifact for Elise's sake, it was already countless.

No wonder, no wonder Malfa's pupils and hair color remained the same pink when he was in full armor. It turns out, he can never come back.

Sadness, anger, and resentment intertwined in Elise's heart.

"You really were hard to find. If it weren't for that so-called 'sisterhood contract' that would enhance my power, I wouldn't have bothered with you... It's over!"

Before it could finish speaking, a two-headed dragon-like demon burst out of the building beneath Elise, opening its massive jaws to bite at Elise's unsuspecting back.

At the critical moment, a huge spear pierced through one of the dragon heads, pinning it to the ground.

Stella in full armor: Caspitel.

"So that's why the sister contract's enhancement was weakened. It turns out the contract my older sister signed before is still in effect."

The sisterhood contract is signed between two sisters, one at a time. Because Elise did not break her contract with Malfa, some of the power she fed back to Stella was taken away by Malfa, who was possessed by the horned demon.

When Stella asked Alice to approve the documents, she happened to see Alice leaving the station. Worried, she secretly followed her, which led to the scene we see now.

Thank goodness she followed, otherwise who knows what might have happened!

"Tsk, what a troublesome guy."

When the two-headed dragon-like demon's sneak attack failed, it turned and bit Stella. Stella easily dodged the attack and broke free from the spear's restraints. She flapped her wings and landed behind the ram-horned demon. In no time, the wound that had pierced her healed.
