NovelEnglish“Are you the dungeon master?” I asked Faeyna’s brother cautiously.
“I wonder…” He gave a noncommittal response.
“At first, I thought you were a creation of the dungeon, then I was thinking you were some kind of manifestation of Faeyna’s will. Now, I’m not so sure.”
He rolled his eyes. “It’s hardly something so glamorous. I’m merely what was left of Faeyna’s brother.”
“How can that be? You died a long time ago?” I asked, and then my eyes flashed. “Unless…”

This guy had done something not all that much different than what Demon Lord Aberis had done. He had abandoned his body at death and then put his soul into Xin until the right time that he could take over her baby. This guy’s intentions weren’t so nefarious, but it was similar. He had clung on to his sister, remaining by her side up until the moment of her death in the Ost Republic.
“Her… abilities…”
“I suppressed them… for her good.” He explained with a sigh. “I did what I did so that she could have a normal life. I didn’t want her to have the same fate as other legacy heroes. Had I known that things would end up that way, that she would end up sacrificing herself for you, well, I’m not sure I would have done anything differently?”
“Then, you’re likely the reason her lore ended up becoming a dungeon too. Too many unresolved issues.”
“I won’t deny it is a possibility.” He shrugged.
“In that case, destroying you would destroy the darkness over her heart. It would free her from your grasp. It would end this dungeon and it would also allow her to finally become the maid hero she was supposed to be. I have to fight you then.”
“We’re finally on the same page.” He smirked. “If you can defeat me, then I will recognize that you are powerful enough to protect my sister. I will trust her to you. However, if you fail, well, don’t even think of getting near her again!”
“You’ve been the one putting up all of those invisible walls. You’ve been the one barricading this place of memories. You’ve been trying to keep me out.”
“It’s nothing personal. I just don’t like you.”
“Siscon?”
“S-s-siscon! What are you saying? Haven’t you been paying attention? I loved another woman! I held myself back from touching my sister!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You did everything you could to get stronger to protect her. You even fought off her suitor. Then, you wrapped your soul around her to keep her for yourself and not let any other man have her. So, siscon.”
“Y-you… now I see that we can never get along! I’ll defeat you! I won’t let anyone have my sister!”
“…”
“…”
“Did you-”
“Yes, I just got it as soon as I heard it!” He snarled. “Just prepare yourself!”
As Faeyna lunged forward to attack the Elf Hero, I lunged forward to fight the demon in her heart.
