Givinia Sorel's Return from the Other Shore: Givinia prprpr (Second Update!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nobody could have predicted it.

While the women over there were waging an epic battle against the monsters, the men's fight here had already come to an end.

The abruptness of the ending and the strangeness of the cause were beyond everyone's imagination—except for her.

"Gurgle!?"

The Night Knight's movements came to an abrupt halt.

The giant soldier, shattered by the pitch-black Greatsword, shone with silver light, illuminating Yu Jie's astonished face.

"Huh... no way... how come..."

The Night Knight, who were roaring and fighting fiercely, disintegrated into black dust and disappeared. Yu Jie himself also knelt on the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"What's wrong!?"

Nid was also taken aback. He knew how difficult it was to deal with Yu Jie's immortality. For this reason, he did not hesitate to fully summon the mechanical legion of the Craft God. He thought it would be an extremely fierce battle, but his opponent fell down not long after it started.

Yu Jie knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, and more and more blood spilling from his mouth.

Nid wanted to approach him, but hesitated and remained where he was. Yu Jie had undoubtedly been attacked by someone, someone unwilling to reveal their true identity! Under these circumstances, he absolutely could not act rashly!

"Gurgle... caw caw caw... damn... it's here... at a time like this... even though... gurgle aa..."

Yu Jie screamed in agony as his body exploded, centered on his heart! All four limbs snapped, bloody internal organs flew out, and his spine was broken—a truly gruesome and grotesque scene! But this only lasted a few seconds. The exploded limbs sprouted countless barbed wires, intertwining and reforming themselves! Yet, the newly reformed body would explode again, only to reform and explode once more, repeating the cycle endlessly!

"Who is it? Show yourself!"

Nid picked up the Greatsword, warily surveying his surroundings. The giant soldiers were also on high alert.

"It's... the organization... people... cough cough... approaching!"

"Organize?"

"Yes... this is the place I used to be..." Yu Jie tried desperately to stand up, but every time his legs were reassembled, they would immediately burst open! The barbed wire used for stitching was increasing, covering an area that even exceeded the remaining skin!

"Damn contract... who... is it...?!"

"I'm sorry." Step.

A clear and gentle girl's voice suddenly appeared.

Without warning, even Nid didn't notice anyone approaching! He reflexively swung his sword in the direction of the sound, but the girl vanished the instant the wind passed by—and reappeared right in front of him.

"You are—ah! The Blood Emperor's... friend?"

"It seems you still remember me, even though we only met once."

Givinia Sorel lifted the hem of her dress, gave an elegant bow, and wore a gentle, slightly apologetic smile.

He always wore the same expression, no matter who he was talking to.

A light-colored long-sleeved dress, dark-colored slim-fit capri pants, and soft-colored sandals exude a simple elegance.

Always dressed in the One Wind.

Everyone feels a sense of warmth and familiarity towards her.

At the same time, I kept my distance from everyone.

"If I remember correctly... Miss Givinia?"

"Right--"

"Stay away from her! She's... a member of the organization!"

In contrast to Nid's wariness, Yu Jie, who was struggling in pain on the ground, showed obvious hostility. His bloodshot eyes, filled with excessive pain, were fixed on Givinia smiled at him as if she had just seen him.

It was a purely polite smile.

A gentle smile played in his eyes.

Like a textbook.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, former Special Class Combatant. As a mere Intermediate Member, this is the first time I've spoken with you."

How much... do you... know about me?

"Yang Yujie, the 'Night Knight,' was invited to join the organization by the late Special Class Combatant 'Rock Sphere Overlord' Stone Strike. His own strength was highly controversial. During his tenure, he did not carry out any important missions, achieving neither great merit nor great demerit, and had no subordinates or direct superiors. He suddenly disappeared two years ago and was later identified as a defector, and his name was written into the organization—"

Givinia tilted her head slightly, a hint of pity in her eyes.

"Is it... a list of defectors?"

"That's right."

"As expected... damn it!"

Yu Jie slammed his fist into the ground, but as he did so, his palm exploded once again, the bone and skin separating tragically, a truly gruesome sight.

"A list of defectors?" Nid asked.

"All members of the organization, except for the Leader and high-ranking members, must sign a 'contract' with a high-ranking member named Anubas. If the person who signed the contract is confirmed to have betrayed the organization, that is, is added to the list of traitors—like Mr. Yang —it will produce strange side effects."

"Side effect?"

"Once a current member of the organization gets within a certain range, their entire body will explode and they will die."

"..."

Nid glanced at Yu Jie silently.

"She's right, it's very tragic, isn't it?"

Yu Jie raised his eyebrows.

This is probably one of the few moves he can still make.

His body had stopped exploding, and it had also stopped repairing. His scattered limbs and organs were strung together by a dense network of barbed wire, like a disassembled doll. The blood had stopped flowing, and the barbed wire writhed like living things. The parts that were still relatively intact could no longer move according to his will, and his expression had changed from initial shock, anger, and pain to helplessness.

The constant bursting of flesh and the continuous repair of the barbed wire continued to clash, and this was the final compromise.

"Wait, I don't understand... why is it 'death if a current member of the organization gets within a certain range'? Couldn't it just be set as 'immediate death once betrayal is confirmed'?" Nid questioned.

"There's a mystery to this," Givinia explained as she walked toward the sleeping spirit. "If it were simply 'death,' many potential members would hesitate, since few would be willing to wade into the mire of betrayal that means certain death. But if the condition is weakened like this, the number of people who are hoping for a lucky break or feel reassured will greatly increase..."

She approached the sacrificial spirit and observed it carefully.

"As for the higher-ups, many of them are extremely arrogant and always have their own ways of finding loopholes... so those people can be made an exception; the Leader can simply use violence to subdue them."

Givinia looked left and right, then took out a pocket watch and reached her hand towards the spirit within the pillar of light—

"Get away from her!"

Yu Jie roared as he lay sprawled on the ground, but he had completely lost his ability to fight and couldn't even move. He was merely alive in this state.

Nid also pointed his sword at Givinia, his wariness undiminished. "I also advise you not to interfere in this matter, Miss Givinia. Since you are a member of that organization, we can never trust you."

Faced with the threats from the two men, Givinia merely bowed slightly and said, "I know you will be hostile towards me, which is why I appeared here in my true form. After all, my mere presence is enough to strip Mr. Yang of all his fighting power, lest he do something foolish. As for Mr. Bradwich... you are not a super-strong individual like Tianlu, nor are you a dual-personality individual like Black Crystal. Invading your mind and inserting a projection is not difficult at all. You are not my opponent for the time being."

"Oh? Interesting, but how will you know if you don't try? Besides, I can't trust you to have made Brother Yu Jie look like this right off the bat."

Even if I don't get close... he's beyond saving.

For the first time, Givinia's eyes dimmed.

A crack appeared in her once perfect, gentle smile.

"Seeing this, I understand. It's probably that person's doing... No matter what Mr. Yang offered to that person in exchange for an immortal body, the moment he became involved with him, everything was already... beyond redemption."

"You--"

"Don't misunderstand, I have no hostile intentions. On the contrary, I'm here... to do a good deed."

She said seriously.

"There's one minute left. If I told you that I could use the backdoor left by the Madam to Divine Law Cult's order within this minute and dismantle that monster from within, would you believe me?"

(Author's note: Best teammate of the century! Winnie kisses me, I believe in you! Wife, prprpr!)

This is a very spacious area, half white and half red, with a clear dividing line in the middle.

"Ugh... um... um?"

After an unknown amount of time, the cat-eared girl, who had been unconscious face down, finally stirred.

Two furry ears twitched, delicate white fingers traced the white surface that seemed to be the floor, and the little bottom wiggled slightly.

"Meow..."

The Truth Incantation emitted an ambiguous sound, and she shakily got up, struggling to open her sleepy eyes. She rubbed her eyes vigorously with her small hands, and her youthful curves were faintly visible under her very thin gauze dress.

"Hmm... where am I... when did I fall asleep...?"

With sleepy eyes, I looked around, and then--

"You're awake? You little [beep--]?"

"Mmm... Meowa ..."

Her full head of white hair suddenly stood on end, like a cat's fur standing on end, her two little cat ears twitching incessantly. And sitting opposite her on the scarlet floor in an ungraceful M-shaped stance was none other than the impatient Rakshasa True Word.

Stunning red hair, rosy skin, petite body, and dreamlike large breasts—it really is her!

"Luo- Luo-chan! It really is you! I've missed you so much--"

"Shut up! The thought that my beautiful and noble self is branded onto your rotten brain makes me want to chew up my tongue and die!"

"But... but chewing your tongue won't kill you... and Luo-chan is a rune, not a human, so how could he chew his tongue..."

"I told you to shut up! Don't use your filthy mouth to utter my name!"

"Ugh... That's so mean..."

Why do you always speak so slowly and haltingly?

"I was... born this way... No, no! Where... where are we? Last time MacArthur told me he would use me to create a better world... I promised him, so I fell into a deep sleep... and when I woke up I found I'd been tricked..."

"Serves you right! A character like you in a smutty novel would be kidnapped, imprisoned, and gang-raped by a scheming old man, his panties stuffed with octopuses! In the end, you'd completely degenerate into a drug addict, turning into an animal, basking in a sullen face, drowning in [beep--], licking [beep--] with your tongue, and babbling 'I want more, I want more!' That's your final fate!"

"This is... this is absolutely outrageous! Luo-chan, you... don't you have any sense of decency at all? If you keep going like this, sooner or later... everyone will hate you! If you were a character in a novel... nobody would listen to you..."

"Huh? Is it any of your business? I told you not to talk to me! I'm annoyed right now!"

"... Um?"

Indeed, the Rakshasa True Word now appears quite agitated.
