Chapter 47: Edgeworth
"From now on, your name is Edgeworth!"
One of the women who created me happily named me
She was a stupid woman.
To put herself in the hands of a disposable tool.
Elfriade's immortality
One of its approaches
If immortality cannot be attained
The idea of a life span so long that it could be perceived as eternal
With Elfriade's technology
It was not impossible, though it was difficult.
I am one of them
We were born as dragons specialized in robbing
No, I'm the only one who's different
I was the only one who was a complete success
I could rob the others of their magical gifts.
I could even take away their lifespan.
That is to say
The more I devoured others, the stronger I became.
The more I devoured others, the longer I live.
"Eat more! More! More!"
The woman who created me was possessed with madness.
Before long, her wish was not for immortality.
But to nurture a perfect life.
The days of devouring countless brethren
It came to an abrupt end
"The test subjects are breaking down the bulkheads!"
I was the only one who succeeded
Other individuals were existences that completely absorbed even their memories and personalities.
I was the only one who could sustain myself in growth.
The others...
One day, they could no longer sustain themselves spiritually and physically.
The day my brethren destroyed the bulkheads
They all asked me for help.
-Why should I help you?-
We were born into the wrong life.
We were born by mistake.
It is their sins that brought us.
That's why
That's why I took away all the mana that filled the surrounding atmosphere.
The women who were protected by magic
By the blue light, they could no longer sustain themselves and died.
-.........Children?-
Some could survive the exposure to blue light.
Were they created like me?
They looked human, but from the neck up they were like me.
There were about 50 of them.
It was just a whim.
I decided to take care of them on top of the mountain where no one would see them.
I looked after them for a long time... a long... long time.
Now I feel those days are not so bad.
That's why
So I
I have to protect them
Was it a [sin] to tamper with life?
Then is the blue light falling from this vast sky [punishment]?
Was it a [sin] that I left my Creator to die?
Then is what is happening to me here and now [punishment]?
