20 Epilogue

It's been 20 days since the incident.

Kyle jonathann has been buried by local residents.

They were surprised by the ice crystal flower symbol on Fiona's right hand. Even so, they still treat Fiona like a normal girl like before.

Even so, there were times when Fiona always expressed her sadness and longing while she was at her uncle's grave.

Until..

"Fiona. How are you feeling?"

She knew that at this time Alucard was approaching her. She's trying to be tough.

"Start well. In fact I can move as I please, without needing to feel pale and weak. It feels like a dream."

"Good to hear. How about kyle?"

Unfortunately, when she heard Kyle's words...

"Kyle.. he still hasn't woken up?"

Fiona even cried when she told Kyle's condition.

There was no doubt that he had experienced that and had to put him into a state of sleep in order for the ice crystal flower symbol on his body to bud again as before.

"Fiona. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that."

Alucard understood that he shouldn't ask that.

"It's okay, I understand. Alucard. " she said while wiping her tears.

She took a deep breath. Then she held her uncle's grave.

"My uncle may be gone. I may not have anyone anymore. But Kyle... he has fulfilled my uncle's promise to cure my illness. It's hard to believe that he had to suffer like this."

Unstoppable silence. Even when Fiona looked at her right hand.. she still felt her sadness.

However, when the wind blows...

"Fiona. You need to get back."

They were surprised by the sudden arrival of the sylph due to the gust of wind earlier.

"Sylph. What's wrong?"

"My master.."

Hearing that, Fiona and Alucard suddenly ran to Fiona's house feeling worried.

Arriving at the house..

"Kyle.."

Fiona rushed to the room where Kyle was.

As soon as she arrived...

She saw that Kyle had woken up, even though his eyes were still closed.

Without hesitation, Fiona immediately hugged Kyle and even made her cry.

"Fiona. You're safe. Thank goodness."

However, they realized the strangeness that was experienced by Kyle.

"Kyle. What happened to you? Why didn't you open your eyes?"

He knew that everyone around him was worried about his condition.

Like it or not, he explained to them all.

"Lord juliano told me that time. As long as he uses my body, I can feel his magic which is very strong. This magic that has entered my body will have quite a terrible effect if it is used for too long. Because I'm only human, so the effect I feel is my body went numb, and my eyes turned pitch black. As long as the ice crystal flower is around, I can live my normal life.

"No way. How can you say that after all this. Sylph. Is there no way to get him to see again? Please? tell me, sylph?"

She knows that a lot of people are worried about Kyle. Even so, sylph could only silently lower her head.

"I'm sorry. What happened to Kyle. That is the same thing that happened to my master. My Lord Juliano. During his last battle at that time.. even though he was also blind, he could still fight and could even channel magic into his sword. It doesn't matter how much blood did he scratch. When I realized that Master Kyle had regained consciousness. I realized that his reaction was the same as Lord Juliano's."

"What do you mean, sylph?"

She understood that Fiona's current feelings were shaken after she saw Kyle's condition.

"The magic emitted by Lord Juliano's sword is so strong that it affects his body. No matter who the user is, the sword will eat away at his body. It is true that to activate the magic requires drops of blood from the user. Like that it will break the seal of the magic that is bound from the sword. In exchange for that magic, the sword will make the user experience a strong impact. And the impact that appears first is.. "

They all fell silent after seeing kyle who still closed his eyes.

"Kyle."

Even though they looked very worried for Kyle, they saw that Kyle smiled as if to tell that he didn't mind it.

"Guys. If it wasn't for Lord Juliano using my body to free the souls of the sylphs and also Fiona, we all might not be able to be free like this. Moreover, Lord Juliano told me. That after he uses my body, then the rest is up to me. I don't mind at all even having to accept this risk. As long as I can…"

Suddenly Fiona hugged Kyle while crying.

"Fiona!"

They were surprised by Fiona's sudden reaction.

Even so, this sadness may be difficult to avoid.

"I'm sorry, Fiona."

But Fiona still hugs Kyle.

"It's alright, kyle. It's not your fault. Please, you don't have to apologize anymore."

Fiona's voice might sound broken because she still feels sobs.

Feeling uncomfortable, Alucard asked Sylph out and left Fiona and Kyle alone.

Alucard and sylph chatted a bit outside. Until not long after, Alucard decided to leave. He had even summoned his horse.

"You want to go, Alucard?"

"That's right. Actually I wanted to give something to Kyle. But I guess I can't tell him right now. Would you mind telling him this in my place?"

"No problem, but.. what do you want to give him?"

He immediately got to his horse because he kept it there.

"I-Isn't that?"

What a surprise that Alucard turns out to be carrying another sword.

But for some reason, sylph could feel magic energy from Juliano.

"You must be able to feel this magical energy, right? This sword has sealed Juliano's soul for 260 years. Moreover, if you look close."

When sylph looked at the other side, she noticed something strange about the sword.

Likewise with Alucard.

"You noticed that too, right? On the side of that sword, there is an ancient writing. It's probably the same ancient writing as around 350 years ago. Many think that the writing is a curse from the devil, but I'm not sure about that. Because I also know from the direct descendant of the healer himself.. What do you think? Do you know anything about this?"

Hearing that.. she thought for a moment. Until finally, she knew something.

"There is one magic... that I want to try. Master Juliano taught me about a magic that can detect, as well as feel the flash of time from any object. On condition, that object has magical energy no matter how weak it is. It's just..."

"It's just?" surprisingly

"With my current magic. It will probably only last less than 1 minute once it's active. What do you think?"

He thought first. The magic sounded very ephemeral to him. But having no other choice, he agreed to sylph's suggestion.

They started the magic. The magic that sylph would perform sounded simple, but had the effect of draining magic power to the point of being temporarily paralyzed.

They held each other's swords, and at the same time, the sylph started chanting a magic spell.

"MOON SPIRIT DROPS. Guide those of us who are curious about what happened to this sword."

Shortly after chanting the spell, sylph magical energy suddenly radiated from his hands. Surprisingly, the magic energy could even envelop Alucard, until finally, the magic energy began to envelop the sword. Like bringing two sides to one point.

Instantly, the energy that was emitted seemed to form a flash of time that was created. It's like the magic of space and time that flows and merges with one another.

There, they could see the terrible battle between Juliano and the devil. The demon has 5 horns and 6 red eyes, and has a shape that is almost similar to a centaur.

Their fight was intense. Not a few of them suffered very serious injuries. Surprisingly, around the two of them... it turned out that there were so many pieces of the devil's body and also lots of ice crystals containing frozen demons. There is no doubt that it was Juliano's doing.

"Juliano de frieza First. You are an enemy that is hard for me to beat."

They were both surprised that the demon could actually talk.

At the same time, the demon suddenly took out a sword from his magic. The two of them were still observing, until they were surprised that the sword was the same sword they saw.

Suddenly, the demon stabbed Juliano. To make matters worse, magical energy appeared after it as if absorbing it. Making juliano unable to move.

"I will not kill you, but your soul will be in this sword. You may be considered dead. But as long as you are in this sword, your soul will rise again after 260 years later. And a vessel for your soul will appear as a youth with moon blue eyes and has the symbol of an ice crystal flower. Look for her. It is as a token of my gratitude that you are worthy as my opponent. The rest is up to you."

Unfortunately, after the magical energy was extinguished, the demon was already dead due to the wound's worsening. Not only that, Juliano also died. His body had turned to ashes. Even the sword that had stabbed him had fallen.

Even so, the sword apparently gave off light even if only for a moment.

However, the magic had run out and the two of them had returned.

Seeing that event seemed to make Sylph's heart break.

~○○~

"I'm glad you want to be with me to the end, sylph."

~○○~

Even when she remembered Juliano's words

How could she not, if only she knew. Of course she will help her master at that time. But because Juliano refused, it felt as if it was hard to believe. He probably thought that it would be better for him to sacrifice for the sake of protecting others, including the sylph herself.

Even Sylph couldn't help but cry. Surprisingly, that the cry of the wind fairy was heard up to the inhabitants of nature. Making the animals around feel the same sadness. Not a few of them approached sylph just to drown out the sadness. Even the gusts of wind are felt.

Alucard understood that the incident had definitely hit sylphs hard. Feelings of guilt and sadness are felt so strong.

260 years ago. It was the time when sylph finally saw the answer to the truth of what happened to Juliano back then.

He decided to appease sylph, before finally deciding to leave, and accomplish what he wanted. Because he must be able to complete his task as Danny the hunter to the fullest.

Because Danny the hunter, is the last descendant of the healer who has found the sword that sealed Juliano's soul. But he died in front of Alucard's eyes due to an attack by a creature of the night that killed everyone in his residence.

After all, the potion that he brought at that time was a gift from Danny himself. As a sign of gratitude to him.
