28. Blood Dragon Festival : Cursed Magic

Psych type Aether magic, I just remembered something about it. From the magic book that I read yesterday, if I'm not mistaken, in the chapter on forbidden magic, I found that many types of Psych magic were categorized as dangerous magic so they were included in the forbidden magic category.

Most types of Aether magic require a very large amount of mana from the user.

Aether magic itself is a type of sky element magic that has a high status and is a magic whose level of difficulty is at the peak so that very few people can master it. However, this is an advantage. It was good when dangerous forbidden magic no one was able to master it.

I'm thinking about Enziel now. From the conversation I heard from daddy and the captain, that means Enzi is a person who has enormous mana and is a person who is able to master the most difficult and dangerous types of magic?. That sounds great!.

But if I look at the dangerous side, I become worried about him. What is the dangerous meaning of Psych magic?. Is it some kind of side effect for users that will have a negative impact?.

There are many types of Psych magic. Then, which Psychic magic did Enzi use earlier?.

I tried to remember the terrible incident earlier. Especially when the evil man stabbed himself. It seems like he did that because he was under the influence of magic, right?. There was no way he could do that on his own accord.

Is it because of Enzi's magic?. So he was able to make the criminal kill himself. Magic that is so practical that you don't need to get your hands dirty. And I think, magic is really scary when used by bad people. Their crimes would be difficult to deal with if they didn't leave traces like that, right?.

This type of Psych magic can be a tool to commit the Perfect Crime...

But there is one more thing that bothers me. How did Enzi get the amethyst out of his hand?!. He was even able to change the shape of the stone into a flower shape like this...

Did Enzi use deflection magic?. From the magic book I read, magic is able to change the shape of a solid object made from various types of minerals.

But that doesn't answer my question about how does the purple stone come out of his hand as if his hand can produce stones?!.

I shook my head and dismissed the unanswered question. For now, I can only save the question of how the amethyst appeared in Enzi's hands just like that. For the rest, I went back to thinking about questions about Enziel's magic.

Psychic magic that is able to make someone do things they don't want and against their will...

"Oh!. Mind Control?"

I tried to remember the contents of the magic book and I remembered that there was such magic!. One of the Psychic magics that is able to control a person according to the wishes of the magic user just through words.

Oh!. I also remember something!.

If I remember correctly, Enzi once said that she had difficulty remembering things. So that was a side effect of using magic?!. Right. That's also what is written in the book if the side effect of this mind control magic is memory loss or memory becoming confused!.

When I found out about that, I got to thinking. "Maybe one day, if I meet him again, he really won't remember me because of the side effects of the magic he used."

Besides, I don't know how much he uses that magic out there. Even though he said he would remember me, that wasn't a guarantee. Besides, Enzi and I have only known each other for a day. So don't be surprised if he forgets me.

When I think about this, I feel sad. For some reason, I don't want Enzi to forget me. I also want to meet him again if I can, but I don't even know where he went after we parted ways?.

Can I meet Enzi again?.

"Dear Cellia, why do you have a sad face like that? Oh. What if we go around the festival?" Dad said. I think he thought I was sad because we hadn't enjoyed the festival together.

I nodded and my daddy carried me. He doesn't want me to be separated from him again. Earlier, daddy also said that the highlight of the Festival was tonight. What do you think will happen at the peak of this festival?.

Oh, I forgot one thing. What is the name of this festival?.

I don't know yet!.

Okay. Just ask dad!.

"Daddy!"

"Yes, My dear?"

"What is the name of this festival?"

"Hm?. Oh, it's the dragon's blood festival..."

"Dragon's blood festival?. What's that?"

"Em, the dragon's blood festival is to commemorate the victory day of mankind from the dragon attack and as a day of respect for the saints who sacrificed their blood to kill-... to defeat the evil dragon," explained the daddy. He stopped using the word kill and replaced it with said beat.

But why do I feel that daddy seems hesitant like that in answering my question?. Is it because the meaning of this festival is not good for young children like me to hear because this festival contains the meaning of violence?.

Well, maybe. I remembered the small theater performance that I had seen with Enzi. The show depicting how they fight the dragon and that right is enough to describe what this dragon blood festival is about.

Despite the terrible name of the festival or the theater performances which were also not good for a kid like me to see, this dragon blood festival was actually quite fun. Somehow there is a feeling of nostalgia seeing all this.

Maybe in my previous life, I once went with my friends to celebrate a festival too?. I don't know, I don't remember much about my previous life.

"Sir, come and try this satay the dragon's heart!. It's really delicious and still hot!. Come on, buy it!" Said a seller who suddenly approached us while offering his merchandise.

"Oh. It looks delicious. I'll buy one," my daddy said kindly, even though his face still looked less than friendly.

"Okay, this the dragon heart satay is your mine. Thank you, Sir!"

I saw what my daddy had just bought and was curious, was it really satay made from dragon heart?. That satay looks really delicious.

"Dad, Cellia wants it!" I said.

"Hm, no way. This should only be eaten by adult men, dear... besides it tastes a bit bitter, you won't like it" explained dad.

For some reason, I immediately understood what my daddy meant about the dragon heart satay which was only intended to be eaten by 'adult men'. Surely it involves something related to stamina and sexual activity.

Because in my previous life I was an adult, so I naturally understood things like that even though a child like me right now shouldn't think about things like that. So, let's just think about it again. Is it dragon meat or not?.

"Oh My... Even though this is just a lizard's heart, they call it a dragon's heart. It's too much..." my daddy muttered while eating the heart satay. And now I know that it's not made from dragon heart. Besides, it sounds impossible if dragon heart can be sold like that. Daddy would have found mother if dragons were so easy to catch.

"Dear Cellia, do you want that cake?" Daddy asked, pointing to the stand of a cake shop selling dragon-themed cakes. The cake looked like a croissant but was quite large.

"Please, dragon horn cake!. Still warm and sweet!. There are many flavors, please choose the one you like, sir" explained the cake seller.

"Cellia, what flavor would you like?" asked daddy.

"That one!"

"Please give me the Rasberry flavored one"

"Okay. This is your cake. Thank you, Sir"

Yum!.

"Is the cake delicious?"

"Delicious!. Do you want it, Dad?" I said while handing him a cake shaped like a dragon's horn which had been broken on one side because I was eating it.

"Can Daddy eat the cake?"

"Yes, of course!"

"Okay. I'll just ask for a little bite..."

"Oh. You're right. The cake is very delicious. Let's go find some more delicious food," said dad. He looked excited. Every now and then, dad wiped away the food crumbs left around my mouth and cheeks.

We continued along the road along the festival to buy food and play several games, one of which was shooting down dragon-shaped golems. Daddy managed to shoot three dragon golems.

Not only did he knock it down, he even directly destroyed the golem before it fell with just an arrow.

Daddy is great!.

As a result, I now hold many prizes from the games that my daddy won. I got three dragon dolls. Two pink dragon dolls and one blue dragon doll.

Ah, these dragon dolls are just the right number for my family which consists of me, daddy and mommy.

"Okay, let's go to the hills"

We continued our journey to get to the hill above because the peak event would be held there. More precisely, in a temple located not far from the palace. Could it be the temple of God Rozex who is worshiped in this world?.

Bruk!

"Ah, sorry sir," said the person who had just accidentally bumped into my daddy. The small pink dragon doll slipped from my hand.

The man who hit my daddy quickly picked up the doll that fell and gave it back to me.

"Once again I am sorry. This is your doll little girl..."

"Yes" said my daddy. He didn't blame the little thing because this street was filled with people going to the festival.

The cloaked person looked at me briefly from under his coat and gave a faint smile.

"Aa-" I was just about to scream when I realized something. The robed person who had just accidentally bumped into my Enzi was Enzi!. But Enzi had already signaled with her index finger so that I wouldn't scream and in the end he just left.

Even though we can meet again, why is Sis Enzi gone again?. Actually, where is he going?. Why does he look so rushed?. He also went in the opposite direction. That means the goal is not to go up to the temple to see the peak of the festival.

Duar!

Duar!

Fireworks began to appear in the sky and points of light slowly lit up on the hill there. Ah, the view is really nice from here.

As soon as I arrived at the temple, I couldn't help but be silent. A feeling of fear suddenly crept up my body. I hugged my three dragon dolls tightly. I really didn't expect what I was seeing in front of me. Not only did fear surround me, but memories of the nightmare I saw in the ruins also emerged.

However, the architectural form of this temple is very similar to the building in ruins that I saw in that nightmare!.

This building actually exists in the real world...

Wait a minute...

How is that possible?.

What does all this mean?!.
