LESSON 29 On that day, Erin recalled......
Erin Moniale was born in a small village in the province of Emygnilmos in the Kingdom of Gangze.
Most of her childhood memories are no longer clear, and most of her memories of her childhood always feel that the images of her parents are blurry, as if they were covered with a thick fog.
But there was one thing she always remembered.
It was a year of renewed drought in the province of Amy Gniermos in the kingdom of Gangze.
The land polluted by the forces of darkness itself yielded very little food, and the outbreak of drought suddenly put the family's life in a difficult situation.
The leaders of several villages discussed it together, and decided to bring a large number of the lords who had become refugees to the lord's mansion and beg the lord for some food to survive this difficult time.
As a result, naturally not a single grain of grain was obtained.
Erin couldn't remember her parents, but she remembered her mother's cries and her father's cursing at the lord, who had not only not lent them a grain of grain in this disaster year, but had also raised the tax rate in her realm for fear of low income.
Then, a few days later, Erin saw her father's body.
At the instigation of a passing ranger, the men of nearly ten villages who were about to survive decided to unite to storm the lord's mansion, grab some food, and leave the barren land.
So they died, and the team of nearly 1,000 people who crusaded against the lord's mansion collapsed after a few spells thrown by a magician and a few charges back and forth by dozens of knights, and their heads were cut off by the nobles' own soldiers who pounced on them.
Erin's father's head was hung from an old tree in the village, and a trembling Erin became a slave of the lord under a tax collector's announcement that he had been charged with assaulting a nobleman's family.
Because of her beauty, Erin was sold to the home of a nobleman in a provincial city.
When Erin left the slave market, many of the girls who had been relegated to slavery were very envious of Erin. Because Erin was bought by a well-mannered aristocratic gentleman, and his elegant temperament and approachable attitude made the girls of the slave market wish he would buy her, rather than wait for the pot-bellied fat pig nobles to pick them.
Erin thought so at first, the maiden was placed in an attic after being bought into a mansion by a nobleman, and the servants brought her delicious food and fine clothes, making Irene feel like a princess.
However, Erin's dream ended before it could begin.
In the first few days, every night, Erin would always hear screams that were indifferent, and the servants would get only perfunctory answers, and Erin, who was immersed in happiness and joy, did not care.
It wasn't until the well-mannered aristocrat visited her room that Erin understood where the screams were coming from.
The nobleman who is outwardly well-mannered behaves elegantly on any occasion, but when there is no outsider, he reveals the darkness of his heart - that nobleman is a sadist!
In the days that followed, Erin was brutally abused by the nobleman in the attic, and those days were a haunting nightmare in Erin's heart, and no matter how long it was, Erin's nightmares would always be those scenes in the attic.
This continued for several years, until the nobleman finally released her from the attic when Irene was sixteen.
Later, Irene learned that the nobleman was not only a sadist, but also a pedophile.
After leaving the attic, Erin lived in a state of confusion, life for her was to get up every day to clean and then fall asleep to the screams of the new girl in the attic.
Until one day, at a banquet of the nobility, Erin, who was acting as a maid, met the pot-bellied lord again, the lord who had been in charge of Erin's village.
The old man, who was like a fat pig, spoke loudly about his "glorious deeds" at the banquet.
It turned out that before the drought broke out, this man had already figured out a way to change a piece of territory, and he had long had enough of that barren land.
And the new lord sent by the Gangze Kingdom belongs to the political enemy party of the Fat Pig Lord, so the Fat Pig Lord plans to make a fortune and give the new lord some trouble before leaving.
As it happened, a drought broke out.
It just so happened that the lords wanted his help.
It just so happened that he was leaving, and the new lord was his enemy.
So, the next thing is logical.
He recruited a mercenary to pretend to be a passing ranger and encourage those who could not survive to attack his castle, and then he could logically kill the restless lords and sell their families who were reduced to slavery, and make a fortune and leave. You can also leave a mess for the new lord, killing two birds with one stone!
The story of the Fat Pig Nobles won the applause of the nobles at the banquet, and the Fat Pig Lord, who was very glorious, probably wouldn't notice Irene's angry eyes, and even if he did, he wouldn't care, Irene had no capital to take revenge on him.
After the feast, Erin's anger reached its peak, and she wanted to tear the nobleman to shreds at every moment. But she couldn't, she didn't have a chance to get close to the Fat Pig Lord.
Hatred was about to consume her, and just before Erin became insane, she accidentally rescued a man covered in blood.
On that day, the Cultists armed with the dagger emblem of the God of Torture broke into her room to escape the Templar paladin's pursuit, killing her and then occupying it for rest.
Just as she was about to be killed, Erin suddenly had a violent desire to survive**, and she convinced the cultist not to kill her, and hid the cultist in her room.
In the days that followed, the sadistic lord discovered that every few days, a girl died in the attic.
This didn't attract the attention of the sadistic lord, after all, it was a rare thing for a sadist to be able to live until the sadist lost interest in her, and a few girls died almost every month, so the sadistic lord didn't notice anything unusual.
This is the biggest reason why Erin survived, and holding rituals is the fastest way for the cultists of the god of torture to heal. And that cultist was not an ordinary believer, but a priest, whose sadistic methods could make no trace of the corpse and allow the deceased to die in excruciating pain.
During the healing of the Sacrifice, Erin joined the Church of the God of Torture and became a member.
Driven by hatred, Erin frantically learned how to become a qualified cultist of the god of torture and killing, and in the eyes of the sacrificial appreciation, she soon cultivated an exclusive fighting qi that belonged to the cultists of the god of torture - the bloody blade fighting qi.
Then, in the attic, Erin, who had cultivated her vindictive spirit, offered her first sacrifice to the god of torture - the sadistic aristocrat who bought her.
In the days that followed, Erin followed the rituals everywhere and found that she grew fond of the ritual of watching the other person die in agony, and her ability to sacrifice to the god of torture grew.
She ended up using this skill on the Fat Pig Lord.
Amid the screams of the Fat Pig Lord, Erin, laughing excitedly, realizes that she has been wrong all along.
Her motivation is not revenge at all, and Erin does not feel pleasure from successful revenge, nor does it generate pleasure from sadism on others.
Erin's excitement is entirely due to strength.
The power that controls the life and death of others, the power of the nobles who controlled her life and death that terrified her in the first place, no, a power greater than their rights!
After taking revenge, Erin gradually became afraid. She was afraid of her weakness and was afraid of being bullied by other strong people.
So, she cultivated frantically and held sacrificial rituals crazily, just to control their life and death as a strong person above others, instead of begging for forgiveness from others!
Erin did it, and she became a [Glory] powerhouse! has become a powerhouse with only a hundred people in the entire continent, except for the few people at the top of the pyramid, no one is her opponent at all!
Erin recklessly walked through the shadowy world on the road, killing one target after another, and won the title of "Blood Witch".
She thought that she would no longer live in humiliation like she was when she was weak.
Until today.
The sudden appearance of this dark-haired young man, his strength, reminded Erin once again of the fear of being dominated by others, and the humiliation of being locked up in the attic.
