Trash of the Count’s Family

g with green leaves.

It was beautiful.

The Jungle citizen and the warriors who were restoring things to normal raised their heads with blank expressions.

The black threads covering the sky had disappeared, changing them into white threads that were even brighter than the sky.

The changing speed continued to increase.

North, South, East, West.

The tree trunks were quickly turning white without caring for whether they were by the palace, the business district, or the residential district.

One of the people watching this started to speak.

“It ’s too fast!”

The voice of concern was coming from the Dark Elf Tasha.
Obante shouted after her.

“T, this large amount! It’s dangerous!”

Obante quickly looked around him.

Mary was absorbing dead mana too quickly.

Furthermore, she was absorbing too large of an amount.

This was dangerous for Mary.

There were bound to be levels in growth, so greed was not good.

Tasha could tell the current situation after seeing Obante’s serious expression.
She looked toward Mary and walked a bit toward her.

She could then clearly see Mary who was surrounded in black fog.

Her hand that was on the tree trunk was shaking.

Her black veins that resembled spiderwebs looked ready to explode.

Her entire body was shaking.

Tasha could see that sweat was falling from Mary’s face that was covered by the hood.
Mary was sweating a lot.

‘She ’s overdoing it.’

Tasha quickly reached out toward Mary and started to speak.

She could not let Mary get hurt.
Mary had gone in and out of death quite often ever since she was young.
She did not want to see Mary get hurt anymore.

However, her hand stopped before it reached Mary’s shoulder.

“…I… c-”

Mary ’s voice could be heard through the black robe.

“…I, I can do it.”

It was not her mechanical voice.

It was a voice that was extremely shaky, but full of will.

Tasha took her hand back.

She heard a different voice at that moment.

“You remember what I said, right?”

It was Cale ’s voice.

Mary closed her eyes after hearing Cale ’s voice.

‘Don ’t hurt yourself to do that.’

She remembered what he had said.

Mary could feel the dead mana flowing toward her like water.

These things that were tied up inside the trees were full of despair and sorrows.

She could feel the souls of the people who had faced unjust deaths even though it was not the black despair.

‘…I ’m at my limit.’

Mary felt her veins that were feeling as if they would burst from the dead mana flowing through.

Her entire body was shaking violently.

Mary could hear a voice once she closed her mind.

‘Mary, keep running! Keep running without looking back!’

It was her mother’s voice.

Her mother had told her to run as she was dying from being poisoned by dead mana.

Mary did not remember anything before she was ten years old.

The only memory she had was of her mother’s voice telling her to run and the soft sand being pushed by her feet.

She finally felt like she could understand the reason for that.

It was because it was in the darkness.

They were in the desert at night when the sand had turned black.
She had also seen the black dead mana smoke.

Everything had been black.

That was why she could only remember her mother’s voice and the feeling of the sand even when she tried her best to remember her past.
That was all there was to remember about that day.

Mary bit down on her lips.

There were times that she had thought that she could not enjoy the beautiful sky because of these black tree trunks.

However, it was different now.

‘Good little Mary! I will show you the night sky! The human will go with us too!’
‘Sigh.’
‘Human, don ’t sigh! Smile! Today is a good day!’

She was able to feel and learn so many things because of the decision she had made.

‘…These black tree trunks…
…The black spiderweb…
…These veins that cover my body…’

They could not hinder her from taking in the world.

Mary received all of the dead mana being pushed to her.

The sound of the wind around her ears.

The sunlight shining through the cracks in the trunks.

The scent of the forest by her nose…

She accepted them all.

Mary opened her eyes.

She could see the tree trunk.

The black tree trunk had turned white.

She took in the now white tree as well.

‘I ’m alive.

I am able to take everything in even though my veins have turned black.’

Ooooooong-
The black smoke around Mary started to rumble.

The others took a few steps back so that they didn’t get in her way.

It was at that moment.

Shhhhhhh-

The green leaves on the white tree trunks started to rustle.

There was no wind.

However, the leaves were rustling.

And once that rustling stopped…

Ooooooo-

All of the black smoke was absorbed inside Mary ’s body.

They disappeared without a trace.

Silence filled the area.

Litana raised her head.

She could see the beautiful white trees through the silence.

They were shining in a pure white color, as if it was a beautiful scenery created for them by nature’s blessing.

“…No!”

Litana urgently turned her head at Cale ’s shout.

Cale hugged the staggering Mary.

Her body was shaking inside the black robe.
Cale could see Mary raising her head toward him.

He could see her eyes through the mask that she was wearing to cover her face.

The corners of her eyes curled up beautifully unlike the black veins around her eyes.

Her GPS-like voice could be heard.

“I ’m full.”

Cale couldn’t help but laugh.

He could then hear voices coming from the distance.

“The purification is done!”
“Purification complete!”
“Section 7 has been completely purified!”

The Dark Elves were shouting as they ran toward them.

The Jungle people that they passed by all started to cheer!

Cale heard Raon ’s voice at that moment.
Human! Mary is a good girl! She is great, mighty, and beautiful!

He ignored Raon who was saying something so obvious as he tried to support Mary up.
However, Raon was not done just yet.
Oh.

The Dragon let out a short gasp of admiration.
Mary is really strong now.

‘Yes, yes.

Of course, she needs to get stronger after eating that much dead mana.’ Choi Han will lose.

‘What?’

Cale suddenly flinched.
Mary will probably beat Choi Han six out of ten times if they fought.
Our Mary is amazing!

‘Wow.’

Cale gave a thumbs up to Mary who was looking at him.

The next day.

Cale ’s face looked like a flat pancake as he finished preparing to head to the Empire the next day as crown prince Alberu had told him to do.

“What the fuck did this damn crown prince manage to do in a day?”

It was when Cale shouted in anger.

Beeeeeep- Beeeeeeep-

There were constant emergency calls inside the tent.

“Human! We have another call!”

Raon started to read the messages left on the video communication device.

“Cale! It’s Toonka! Are you really dead? No, right? Pick up the call!”

The black Dragon read the messages without stopping.

“Young master-nim, it’s Billos.
I heard this weird rumor… You ’re alive right? I’m worried because I can’t reach you.”

The Whipper Kingdom ’s Commander Toonka and then the Flynn Merchant Guild’s Billos, who should be in the Empire.

“Young master-nim! My goodness! I threatened the God of Death and said nothing better have happened to you! You ’re okay, right, young master Cale? Please give me a call if you are fine.
It must be a lie that you are dead!”

And even the crazy priestess Cage.

He received a few more calls after that as well.
The one that Cale couldn ’t believe the most was the message from his father, Count Deruth Henituse.

“Pretending to be dead, huh.
I will cheer you on.
I will also help you.”

Cale brushed his face with both hands.

‘Why am I dead?!’

“Human! We keep getting calls!”

‘Driving me nuts.’

Cale could see Raon tilting his head in confusion.

“Our human is still alive! Why are people saying all these weird things?!”

Raon then chuckled as if it was funny.
The ancient Dragon was chuckling next to him as well.

The frowning Cale finally managed to get something out.

“…The crown prince.”

‘What the fuck did he do in one day?’

The rumor about Cale being dead instead of being hurt was driving him nuts.
