320 – The Twins Are Destined Rivals #6

The woman who emerged from the lamp appeared to be in her early 20s.

She was draped in delicate silk and veil, adorned with jingling treasures and ornaments on her bare hands and feet.

She reminded me of Serazade. But the key differences were her pointed ears and her curvaceous figure.

“... A lamp nymph?”

That seemed to be Narmi’s assessment. As if she had heard the mumbling, the woman floating in the air replied.

━Yes, I am a fairy. A long time ago, I was also called a ditch nymph. But then those vile men sealed me in this lamp... Well, that’s not important.

Seurrr.

The woman’s face turned towards me.

━So, you are the one who has freed me. Everything has a cause, and I assume there is a reason why you went through the complicated process of unsealing me.

It seems she’s asking why I decided to release her. So I said while holding the lamp.

“I want to get out of this place. Would you be able to help us escape, O... great fairy?”

At my attempt at flattery, the fairy let out a languid laugh.

━Child, is that your wish?

“Yes.”

━You don’t want to rule the world? Or perhaps obtain an unimaginable fortune of gold?

“I don’t need those.”

More than that, I don’t think someone who had been stuck in a tiny lamp could grant such grandiose wishes.

Thinking about that, my request suddenly seemed strange. If she couldn’t free herself from the lamp, could she really have a way to get us out of this cave?

Still, the fairy’s attitude remained positive.

━Getting you out of here is simple. However, as long as I’m bound to this lamp, it’s an impossible task. Free me completely.

Free her completely?

I thought the seal had been broken just now, but it seemed that it hadn’t been fully released. As I glanced between the twins, Mirna spoke up.

Its vermilion eyes above the veil gleamed strangely.

━What a peculiar man you are. I sense the hateful presence of David and his patron lingering within you. The vile beings of Gwangyeom that pushed my people—.

Mirna suddenly lashed out, as though she’d heard something utterly intolerable.

“Are you insulting the Gwangyeom God? You, a wicked idol, trapped in a pitiful lamp buried in this dark and miserable mountain?”

━The Gwangyeom God? A god? Is that what he’s called now? Come, show me your world. Let me read more of your thoughts and memories.

Ssssss—

I could feel the fairy’s strange smoke coming through my nose and ears.

━Very strange thoughts, very strange plans. I see. You are a descendant of David.

I realized the fairy was skimming through my consciousness, sifting through my thoughts.

━But you are merely a pawn. It seems the time for his resurrection draws near. I don’t even need to imprison you in the lamp. You’re already bound by fate, half-fairy. Pitiful...

While the fairy was saying something—

━Grrrrr...!

Something leaped at the fairy, snarling ferociously. It was none other than the Cloudling, Yingying. Its blue body writhing in motion.

━C-Cloudling!? Stop! Stop this thing!

━Grrrr...!

Yingying pounced on the incorporeal fairy and began to absorb it.

Cloud against cloud, the strong consumes the weaker one—it was the only way to describe the scene unfolding before me. Strangely enough, the battle seemed to favor Yingying!

━I surrender! I surrender! If this continues, I’ll be completely absorbed and disappear!

━Yingyingyaing.

━Ining-ya-ing!

I wasn’t sure what was happening, but it was wonderful.

* * *

━Even though this body is weak, I can still help you kids get out. But... I just wanted revenge. Revenge against the world that imprisoned me.

The fairy, subdued by Yingying, readily answered our questions. She explained that she’s been trapped for a long time and was waiting for someone to release her.

━But no matter how much time passed, no one came. So, I decided. If someone ever freed me, I’d take revenge. That was the resolve I made.
