Chapter XI: The Razor-Sharp Successor

Mädchen Amick gazed out at the form of the cathedral, blurred by the rain, through the window.

Grey rain fell on the white town, mixing with the ocher wind to become the color of shadow. This view had been the same since long in the past. Long ago... when humans first arrived on this continent.

She stood in front of the window, rubbing her numbed arm. First aid had stopped the bleeding, but the wound wasn’t healed and she’d lost a lot of blood. It probably hadn’t helped that she’d gotten thoroughly chilled running around in the rain. She could still move her fingertips slightly, but she could tell that that wasn’t likely to last.

It might never move again... It was ironic, she thought with a wry smile. Salua had told her that he’d gotten hacked to pieces by Quo Vadis Pater in the cathedral. Meanwhile, she’d taken one soundless blow from Carlotta. Now, Salua was walking around, the picture of health, and Mädchen couldn’t even hold a sword anymore.

Maybe that’s just the difference between Quo and Carlotta. She had to admit it, vexing as it was.

There was no one who compared to Salua when it came to sword skills. After all, he was the only one who had been personally trained by Oleyl. The only one Oleyl had acknowledged. Quo was the only one who had successfully deciphered sorcerous glyphs, and Name Only had achieved superhuman physical abilities by carving away at his own life force. As for combat experience, Mädchen, who had taken over at a young age for her father after his death, had more than anyone.

Carlotta had nothing. She did nothing. Yet Mädchen had never heard of the woman failing at a single thing.

Ten years ago, a man had infiltrated the Yggdrasil Cathedral. He’d done it easily, though no one knew how.

At the time, no one knew who the man was. He’d seemed young, but the assassin had also possessed cunning beyond his years. He’d killed several Head Instructors and three Death Instructors, and was repelled by Quo Vadis Pater and Oleyl Salidon just before reaching the Poet’s Chamber.

Oleyl was seriously wounded at the time and retired soon after. He was charged with rejecting his sacred duty and was forever banished from the Holy City because of it. That was when Quo was put in charge of the Death Instructors. It was also when Salua began to study under Oleyl.

But Mädchen hadn’t been able to pay attention to anyone else at the time. After all, she’d just been selected to fill in the significantly thinned ranks of the Death Instructors. The reason for her selection was simple: one of the three Death Instructors who’d been killed was her father.

She was given nothing but missions outside of the Holy City. The same went for Salua, who joined their ranks a few years later.

...In those filthy lands where there was no sand, I saw this sight—the Holy City soaked with rain—over and over again in my dreams.
