That Weak Oni

"You..."

As a large amount of black mist surged from Rem's body, Fang Li's brows slowly furrowed.

Now, Fang Li understands why he suddenly came here and saw Rem's childhood memories.

(If I'm not mistaken, this should be the depths of Rem's soul.)

Judging from Rem's appearance, which is still entangled in curses even here, it is likely that the numerous curses have penetrated deep into her soul, causing not only her body but also her soul to begin to weaken.

Under these circumstances, and Fang Li that Fang Li, as Ryougi Shiki had said, had gradually become accustomed to entering his own soul space, he was drawn into the curse that had penetrated deep into his soul when he used the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to search for the Curse Arts on Rem's body. He then saw this memory.

After all, this memory is filled with too much death.

There is the death of Rem's former clansmen.

There were deaths of members of the Witch Cult.

There is the death of things in this area.

There is also Rem's own soul gradually decaying and dying.

So, when Fang Li used his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to search for Curse Arts that penetrate deep into the soul, he was drawn into the process and saw this memory.

It's likely that Rem's soul began to weaken due to the curse, which is why, in her unstable mental state, she unearthed this deeply ingrained memory and became immersed in the sadness of the past. As a result, the curse took advantage of her vulnerability and penetrated even deeper.

simply...

"Absolutely stupid."

The Ice-Blue Demon Eyes suddenly appeared.

The sharp dagger fell into his palm.

"Choke----!"

Amidst the melodious cries of swords, a crescent-shaped dagger flashed and fell.

"Pfft—!"

With a tearing sound like ripping silk, the dark mist that was wrapped around Rem was cut in two and completely dissipated.

"Huh?" Rem was stunned.

Only then did Rem seem to regain consciousness and realize what had happened.

"I..." Rem was unusually at a loss for words.

However, Fang Li's actions only made Rem more bewildered.

"Immersed in such memories, what can you do?"

Fang Li stared with his Ice-Blue Demon Eyes at the village engulfed in flames, ignoring the Oni and cultists fighting, as well as the young Rem sitting blankly on the ground and the young Ram lying on the ground covered in blood. He swung his dagger with a swift motion.

"Pfft—!"

Instantly, the entire world was severed in two.

Under Fang Li's slashing attack.

The horrific battlefield before them was as if the world had been neatly sliced apart, split in two.

"Bang----!"

The next second, with a sound like shattering glass, this world turned into fragments.

Instead, there was a pure white space.

This is Rem's soul.

Fang Li and Rem were naturally transferred here as well, and were not caught up in the shattered world.

"You..." Rem exclaimed in surprise, "What did you do?"

Fang Li didn't answer, but only said this.

"You come here right now."

After saying that, Fang Li grabbed Rem's hand, who was at a loss, and walked forward.

During this process, Matoba began to flash by in the pure white space.

There, you'll find the entire trajectory of Rem's life.

Inside, there's Matoba Rem and Ram are playing together in a flower field.

There's Matoba where Rem and Ram are fast asleep in bed together.

There's Matoba Rem and Ram are picking vegetables together in the forest.

Inside, there's Matoba Rem and Ram are chopping wood together outside their house.

These are all memories of Rem and Ram from their childhood, before the Oni's village was massacred by the Witch Cult.

Rem stared blankly at these memories, a look of nostalgia appearing in her eyes.

"See that?" Fang Li said forcefully, pulling Rem's hand as they walked forward. "If you like reminiscing about the past so much, you should be reminiscing about these things, not the ones you just remembered."

With that, Fang Li forcefully pulled Rem and turned her in another direction.

There, too, were scenes like those in the past.

However, those memories only appeared after the Oni clan's village was massacred.

After Ram's horn was cut off and the Oni were slaughtered, Roswaal appeared before Rem and Ram, and took the weakened Rem and the horn-severed Ram back to life.

After that, Rem and Ram became maids at the Roswaal Mansion, responsible for all the chores within the residence.

So, there's Matoba there where Rem and Ram are cooking together.

So, there's Matoba there where Rem and Ram are cleaning together.

Therefore, there is Matoba there where Rem and Ram take a bath together.

Therefore, there are Matoba there where Rem and Ram work together.

Each Matoba was perfectly presented and imprinted on Rem's eyes.

"Look here." Fang Li pointed to the images and said to Rem, "If you don't like recalling your past in the village, you can recall your memories in the mansion."

Only then did Fang Li turn around, look at Rem, and ask her this question.

"You have so many wonderful memories, yet you insist on clinging to that trivial scene that's probably been forgotten somewhere. Aren't you being foolish?"

Upon hearing this, Rem also became furious.

"What do you know about Rem?" Rem shouted. "Rem is a replacement for her sister. Without Rem, her sister would have two horns. And if her sister with only one horn is so strong, her sister with two horns must be stronger than Rem can imagine!"

"It's all because of Rem that my sister only has one horn left. And because of Rem, my sister has lost even her only horn, leaving only a weak Rem. What good is that?"

As Rem became more and more excited, Fang Li cut her off with a single sentence.

"You're way too arrogant, aren't you?"

"————!"

Seeing Rem glaring at him, Fang Li simply said something indifferently.

"After the horn broke, did you have a heart-to-heart talk with Ram?"

One sentence made Rem catch her breath.

"It seems you have none at all," Fang Li said, glancing at Rem.

"The one with the broken horn is Ram, not you."

"The person suffering the most is Ram, not you."

"And you, the culprit, haven't talked to your sister even once all these years, only indulging in your own guilt. If this isn't self-righteousness, what is it?"

"So, if you want to express inferiority, at least go apologize to Ram first."

"Otherwise, you'll always be that weak ghost."

Each word pierced Rem's heart, silencing Rem completely.
