"Here, besides Eu and me, there are no other people. Later, I'll help Eu use Cut Through to sever the magic, and then Eu will be able to speak."
After explaining the origin of the materialized Moon, Nakano Yu was finally ready to get to the main point.
Actually, Nakano Yu had already decided to summon Melqart, and then plunder his authority in order to resolve Eucliwood's situation. The reason why he took this extra step today was simply because Nakano Yu wanted to hear Eucliwood's voice and casually talk with Eucliwood for a while.
As for the reason why he brought Eucliwood to the materialized Moon, it wasn't because Nakano Yu was worried that problems might occur while using Cut Through to temporarily remove the burden of magic from Yu's body. He simply wanted to reassure her.
With Eucliwood's personality, in order to truly feel at ease, even if she knew that Nakano Yu had solved the magic problem that had tormented her for so long, for the sake of safety she probably still wouldn't be able to completely relax.
But bringing Eucliwood to the materialized Moon was different. On the materialized Moon, there were no humans—of course, those Tomie didn't count as humans. Without innocent lives around, Eucliwood naturally wouldn't worry about hurting others, and the speed at which she accepted everything would naturally become much faster.
After hearing Nakano Yu's words, Eucliwood's face remained completely calm, but her sparkling eyes showed that at this moment she was filled with anticipation. It had been a very long time since she had spoken, and a very long time since she had expressed her feelings to others.
Didn't Eucliwood want that?
How could that be possible?! Loneliness and emptiness—these two words sound simple, but only when someone experiences them personally do they understand how painful they are, especially when every single daily action has to be done carefully and fearfully to avoid hurting others. That was simply torture!
Taking a deep breath, Eucliwood nodded and looked at Nakano Yu, waiting for his next move.
Nakano Yu also didn't hesitate. He activated his curse power, and the authority of Cut Through was unleashed. The young man's eyes and palms emitted an emerald-green glow, while the aura radiating from his entire being became vast and boundless.
After using Cut Through, Nakano Yu's gaze once again fell upon Eucliwood, only to see several long lines of various colors extending out from Eucliwood's delicate body.
Those long lines floated in the air, one end connected to Eucliwood while the other stretched endlessly before disappearing without a trace.
Nakano Yu understood that those lines most likely represented the "Spirit Words" Eucliwood had used over such a long period of time, and those "Spirit Words" had influenced this world.
After a brief look, Nakano Yu discovered that most of those "Spirit Words" were actually a single "Spirit Word" — "Do not die."
Thinking about Eucliwood as a necromancer, she naturally despised death.
Eucliwood hated death because she understood that death was an extremely painful thing, so she didn't want to see death happen to others.
It was just that... sometimes death was also a release, but since this was what Eucliwood wanted, Nakano Yu had no intention of touching those lines that served as "Spirit Words."
With a wave of his hand, the thin lines representing the "Spirit Words" disappeared from Nakano Yu's field of vision.
That was the innate ability of Cut Through. Nakano Yu felt that it was probably because Cut Through originated from Asclepius, the god of healing, just like how a doctor treats illness; some negative symptoms could simply be ignored directly.
And Cut Through was similar. If Nakano Yu didn't want to bother with something, those thin lines would automatically disappear.
At this moment, Eucliwood's beautiful eyes stared at Nakano Yu standing in front of her, with his palms and eyes emitting an emerald glow, intensely watching her, yet he still hadn't moved for a long time. Her heart couldn't help but become nervous.
Could it be that the rampaging magic was affecting Eucliwood?
Why wasn't Eucliwood moving?
Had she once again... hurt someone around her?
A feeling of unease spread through Eucliwood's heart, but before that emotion could completely swallow Eucliwood, Nakano Yu's voice sounded out:
"Don't think too much about it, calm your mind."
Hearing that, Eucliwood regained her composure, and the heavy unease in her heart suddenly disappeared, causing Eucliwood's mood to gradually brighten.
Naturally, that wasn't because Eucliwood had suddenly achieved some kind of enlightenment, but because Nakano Yu had just severed the line that represented the uneasy emotions born from Eucliwood's heart.
With Nakano Yu's reminder, Eucliwood didn't overthink things this time. Instead, she slightly tilted her head, her eyes fixed on the young man, wondering what he was thinking about.
At this moment, Nakano Yu had also found the line on Eucliwood's body that represented the "Rampaging Magic."
That line was completely dark purple, occasionally shifting into crimson. Nakano Yu had never before seen a line with such vivid and ever-changing colors. When he first brought Eucliwood home, Nakano Yu had attempted to use Cut Through to remove the magic from Eucliwood's body.
At that time, Nakano Yu hadn't noticed that the line was actually changing colors.
"Is it because of the instability of the magic?"
Looking at the constantly shifting magic line, Nakano Yu muttered curiously. In the very next moment, his palm moved without hesitation, using Cut Through to sever the magic line.
"Snap!"
Along with a crisp sound, the magic line was suddenly severed by Nakano Yu. Immediately afterward, Eucliwood's aura violently erupted. Before Nakano Yu and Yu could understand what was happening, an enormous amount of magic suddenly burst out from Eucliwood's body.
However, that magic wasn't violent; it showed no intention of harming anyone. Instead, it was like a spring, like a gentle breeze, softly brushing against Nakano Yu's face.
Magic itself did not inherently possess offensive properties. More precisely, whether it was the curse power controlled by Nakano Yu, the magic within Yu's body, the demon energy of yokai beings, or the spiritual energy of Onmyoji, none of those energies possessed an inherently offensive nature.
Those energies could only unleash terrifying power when controlled by someone.
Eucliwood's situation was like a dam without floodgates, where a massive flood could erupt at any moment, and the conditions for that eruption were Eucliwood's emotional changes and the words she spoke.
What Nakano Yu had just done was like relieving a flood, releasing the pressure weighing down on Eucliwood.
Clearly, Eucliwood also realized this at that moment. Her little face, which had become somewhat pale because of the previous abnormality, gradually regained its color.
Very quickly, Eucliwood noticed the changes within herself. The feeling of restraint around her body had become extremely obvious, and secondly, the faint headache she had always felt in her brain disappeared at this moment!
Because of the rampaging magic, Eucliwood would feel intense pain in her head every time she spoke. But in reality, even when Eucliwood didn't speak, she would still feel pain whenever her emotions changed even slightly, only the intensity differed.
But now Eucliwood could feel that her mind was unbelievably clear and that she didn't feel any pain at all.
Moreover, the enormous magic that had always enveloped her body had also disappeared at this moment.
Taking an incredibly deep breath, Eucliwood's heart was filled with cautious joy.
She continued testing things, afraid that all of this was merely an illusion, but very quickly Eucliwood realized that everything was real. She wasn't affected at all, and nothing around her had changed.
The magic that had tormented her for so long had finally disappeared!
After confirming that, Eucliwood's heart was filled with overwhelming excitement and joy. She wanted to cry, but after suppressing her emotions for so many years, Eucliwood had long forgotten what it felt like to cry.
"How do you feel, Eu?"
Looking at Yu, Nakano Yu asked worriedly, while his gaze fell upon Eucliwood's magic line that was continuously regenerating.
After severing Eucliwood's magic line, it immediately began to regrow, and at this rate it would return to its original state in around fifteen minutes.
That speed was far too fast. Nakano Yu had originally thought it would last at least half an hour. He had to kill Melqart quickly.
Just as Nakano Yu was thinking, a fragrant breeze passed by him, followed by the sensation of a small figure hugging him. At the same time, the girl's soft and pure voice rang out beside his ears:
"Thank you, Yu."
Lowering his head, Nakano Yu froze in place.
Ignoring the intense pain in his brain, he silently stared at Eucliwood, who was smiling like a blooming flower, while only a single thought remained in his heart.
Everything today had been worth it!
