TSFHA - Chapter 102



Immortal Blood

- The power to resurrect after the holder's death.

Grade: Intermediate

First Manifestation: Alexander Wassenberg

Stage 1 of Manifestation: The holder's lost body and collapsed mind are completely restored and revived over three days after his death.

Growth Stage 2: ...

Alex was resurrected exactly three days after his death, exactly as the text in the power textbook written in my blood before my return read.

No one really knew how Alex got involved in the commotion with Ratan before he died...

It wasn't until Alex woke up that I was able to hear the whole story.

“Alex.”

“Yeah, sis. Hehe.”

We lie side by side.

Alex, who was a head taller than me, crawled into his sister's arms like a baby.

'Hmm.'

Fortunately, Alex's memories of death were not explicit.

Even Alex himself couldn't remember the exact circumstances.

Based on what I heard, let's roughly infer the situation at the time...

'I saw Ratan and was knocked out by the arm that Ratan was swinging.'

Alex's memories end there.

Perhaps Merchen's ego suppressed Ratan's movements as much as possible.

I guess they decided that it would be best to keep the child away.

However, he fell and suffered a severe head injury and bleeding, and as it was not treated quickly, he almost died.

"I have a question for you. Should I answer honestly?"

"Yes!"

I stared at Alex's bright expression.

<Immortal Blood> is actually a power that restores not only the body but also the mind.

This means that the person who is resurrected does not suffer from mental pain due to the trauma of the time of death.

Well, if there wasn't even that kind of benefit to the resurrection ability, Alex would have gone mad a long time ago from being killed repeatedly before returning.

But still...

'If my choice wasn't the best, I'll rewind time.'

A truly crazy choice, not even realizing the time after seeing the dead Alex.

It was a choice to leave behind the memory of taming Ratan while also letting Alex know that he had this ability.

What if this is the wrong choice?

If the things I'm worried about happen, then I'll go and wind down the time.

That's what I thought...

We will find out now.

“You were a power user too, weren’t you, Alex?”

"Yes!"

"Your power isn't something worth using. If you do something dangerous just because you don't want to die, your sister will scold you."

“Yeah, yeah.”

"Don't even think about using it. If you do, I'll never see your face again."

“Yeah, yeah.”

I asked Alex, who nodded and smiled, a question I had prepared with a little nervousness.

Before the regression...

Because he had been terribly used by his father, I would never have been able to know Alex's true feelings even if I had asked him a question.

“...Do you like your ability?”

***

It's been a week since my brother, Alexander Belzer, was resurrected.

I am now...

I regret the three days of intense worry and suffering I endured while waiting for Alex to return to me.

Why?

Because I feel like I've wasted my life worrying about nothing.

"Beep, beep! Contaminated princess detected!"

“Oh, don’t do that! Can’t you see that I’m lost in thought right now?”

...I want to be serious, but it doesn't help.

'Again!'

I had decided that if something I was worried about happened, I would go and save time then.

But in the end, all my expectations were wrong.

Prediction 1. Alex will be more distressed after learning of his powers → Not at all.

Prediction 2. Merchen will be distressed, blaming himself for Alex's death → That almost happened, but he quickly recovered.

Prediction 3. Alex will be afraid of Merchen, or their relationship will become estranged → The opposite result will occur.

Alexander Belzer, <Immortal Blood> Awakening Week.

My house is really noisy.

“Take this, Monster Prince!!!”

When Alex was depressed, he was very quiet...

"God who controls death! Will you not lift my curse? If I catch you, I will show you how to act!"

Crazy and crazy.

It was exactly twice as loud as before.

'Ah.'

I covered my ears.

The Prince was like that before, but after that incident, he played with Alex even better, and Alex...

'I feel like he likes Mälerchen a lot more than you do?'

It was a little disappointing, but it was okay.

Merchen's mental state was somewhat broken since he had caused Alex's death...

“Brother, I’m really okay!”

Thanks to the kind Alex, who comforted him, he was able to recover quickly.

Alex wasn't just okay in words; he was really okay.

He even said thank you for awakening his own powers that he never knew he had, which made Merchen flustered.

Aleclx is... Alex is...

“...Do you like your ability?”

“Amazing, sis! I’m so cool!”

The horrifying memories of the moment of death had already been blown away, and he was only excited by the absurd fact that he had awakened this ability.

He is very happy and says that his strength is very cool.

Well, if you think about it...

Before returning, I felt like I was being eaten by demons on purpose and forced to roll around the battlefield, and it was a terrible force.

Now you don't have to worry about that.

“Heh heh heh... Sister, will you call me ‘the god who controls death’?”

It seemed to be a wonderful ability that stimulated some incomprehensible emotion in a twelve-year-old boy.

The only human that Ryan, the de facto 'God of Death', can never kill.

My brother is indeed the 'god who controls death'.

Anyway, I worried for nothing and lost ten years of my life.

Because of that fucking trauma...

“uGh! The monster prince!”

“Gotcha! The God Who Controls Death!”

...Wow, it’s noisy.

Since Merchen was reluctant to go outside, the inside of the house became his playground.

The two are currently polishing the water guns that Revan made for them from the first to the third floor of the mansion.

By the way, this toy was created by a genius magician, so it's not as powerful as an ordinary water gun.

Sizzle-!

“Ouch!”

Someone shot a water gun at my head from upstairs. I was sitting at the table in the first-floor living room when I glanced at the third-floor railing.

“Poohaha! Defeat the Contaminated Princess!”

“Ahahaha! Looking at that evil expression, it’s definitely contaminated!”

Alex and Merchen giggled.

I have a water gun too. Should I show off the Contaminated Princess shooting skills?

...even though I want to.

“Oh my, it’s so nice to see you having fun.”

As I watched poor Emma wiping down every corner of the house with a dry towel, I felt like I needed to come to my senses.

“The Contaminated princess is running away!”

“Princess, don’t you want to help lift the Prince’s curse? You’re a coward!”

Sizzle-! Sizzle-!

“Hey! Don’t do that, dammit!”

I ran out of the house to avoid the water gun blast. When I came out the back door, there was our mercenary, Max.

“Oh my god, why have you come out!”

“...”

Jack and Rudy were also there, probably checking their weapons in the backyard, and they all came up to me and quickly bowed.

"Oh, praise the God! Preserve Your precious body!"

“If you want to go for a walk, I will escort you!”

“...”

I became a god to our family's S-class mercenary Cerberus...

1. Hearing the voice of the Master from the special-class Ratan

2. If the injured are still breathing, they will be healed by touching them.

3. Even the dead can live (←Important!)

Everyone knows that I'm the one who brought Alec back from the dead.

It wasn't a bad result for me, who didn't want to reveal Alex's powers to anyone, no matter how trustworthy they were.

“Will you please stop? Go away! You’ve been doing this for days!”

Of course, it's embarrassing to be treated like a god.

Anyway, the Cerberus who had gathered to capture Wassenberg were confident of victory after witnessing my power.

The fighting spirit was overflowing, and loyalty and solidarity were at their peak.

"Are you going for a walk? There are still a lot of bears. What are you doing instead of escorting the young lady?"

Max grumbled. Three mercenaries followed me along the trail.

"Kali and Revan are in the basement. They're checking out new weapons."

“Then we... gasp!”

At that time, we were all surprised.

Because a wild beast came down from the mountain.

"It's dangerous without an escort! Something scary is coming out, young lady!"

Yeah, that's a little scary.

...is a lion.

“What? It’s dangerous. Why are you coming out?”

Ryan, with dark circles under his eyes from hunting wild beasts in the back mountain all day, came sauntering toward me.
