Vampeerz ch44

p1
>Al-Kamil catches Ichika in her trap and tries to turn her into a dead ghost. Aria, who lies in despair...

>Ah, what a glorious feeling<3
>That's a good look, Aria<3

>Now then, time for the finishing touch.

p2
>Aria-chan...

p3
>Die.

>If I knew this would happen...

p4-5
>I would've kissed her a whole lot more...

>Eh?

p6
>...

>Peh!
>Bleh!

p7
>Is this...

>that desert of wind thing?

>...I wonder if Aria-chan saved me.

>Ah, Aria-cha-

p8
>Wai-

>Hey, why are you naked!?

>Huh?

p9
>...That's not...
>Aria-chan.

>Correct. I am not.
>Eh?
>There's a voice inside my head...

>Listen carefully.
>...Okay.

p10
>This is the time I've ever called out to someone.
>I never expected a human would come here.

>..You're the god of lilus, right?
>Why do you look like, Aria-chan?

>Woah!

>I can take any appearance you want.
>Let's just stick with Aria-chan...

p11
>...Oh yeah. I need to get back.
>Worry not.

>This place is inside me.
>A metaphysical space that has been folded into your world.
>Metawhat now?
>So long as your consciousness remains here, time outside will remain stopped.

>Think of it as another dimension.
>The desert and this body you see before you
>are simply to make it easier for you to comprehend.

>Don't just answer any question.
>I will. I've got nothing else to do.
>Could you not read my mind?
>No can do. I can't help but overhear them.
>Ah, I see.

p12
>...This situation doesn't phase you, I see. What an interesting girl.
>Since you're here, allow me to answer your question.
>"What are lilus?"
>No, I wasn't really gonna ask about...

>It all began with the birth of humans.
>Don't just keep talking...
>Upon acquiring language, humans became more fearful towards death.
>It was apparently the moment their desire for immortality reached a certain threshold that I was born.
>I am the immortatlity of the so-called lilus itself. I have no true consciousness or existence.

>It is only through a certain form that I become involved with your world.
>That is how immortal people came into being.

p13
>By drinking the blood of humans, their blood would bring forth infinite life energy.
>It is the source of all magic
>that gives birth to barriers in places where the memories of death run deep.
>Shining particles in what came to be known as relics are...

>Hey.
>I'm listening! I'm listening, really!
>But why all that?
>...

>No idea. This is just one of the mysteries surrounding everything that exists.
>Sorry. That's the only answer I have.
>Well, sometimes things just exist. There's no helping it.
>Are they pissed?

>Does Aria concern you that much?
>Yeah... Hey, can you really grant my wish?
>Sure. I can't promise I can do just anything, though.

p14
>...I want to save Aria-chan from her suffering.
>But I don't know what it is I should do, so I want you to tell me.

>Is that a wish you can grant...?

>You want to grant someone else's wish?
>That's unusual.
>You think so?

>Fu
>Are you prepared to know everything?

p15
>Of course.
>It's for the one I love, after all.

>!?

>Then I'll show you.

p16
>If it's you, the answer should come to you naturally.

p23
>Did you find it?
