Re Zero DMMS 102 (Patreon)

As his voice trailed off, the expected black fog did not appear.

Capella's face was full of confusion, fear flickering in her eyes.

She had just clearly sensed that the instant Kenma uttered those words, her heart had nearly stopped.

Although she didn't know what had happened recently, Capella seemed to have recalled some crucial news, and the terror in her eyes turned into shock.

"You are Pride..."

"Shut up! Transform into your dragon form later and get your ass over to the Astrea Mansion to await orders!"

Kenma interrupted Capella, his eyes filled with anxiety. This was the first time he had felt the emotion of panic since transmigrating to this world.

Dammit... Satella... What the hell is going on?!

This time, Kenma understood that something big must have happened on Satella's side. Otherwise, when he just revealed the news of Return by Death, she should have come out.

Watching Capella scramble and transform into a dragon form rushing out of the palace, Kenma stood in place motionless, thoughts churning in his mind.

Suddenly, as if recalling a crucial factor, he immediately plunged his mental consciousness into his mind.

"Ohhhh!"

As soon as he entered his mind, that originally blocked sound was clearly transmitted into his soul.

Looking at Echidna enveloped in illusory thunder, Kenma raised his hand and stopped all punishment.

Echidna still had a morbid flush on her face, looking at the arriving Kenma with a puzzled gaze, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes.

This feeling of changing from extreme stimulation back to dullness all at once was terribly uncomfortable.

Kenma cut straight to the point, "Echidna, as the Witch of Greed, you should possess the corresponding Authority of the Book of Wisdom. Tell me, what happened on the side of Satella, the Witch of Envy?"

Under the effect of the contract, Echidna could not refuse or refute anything Kenma said, and had to obediently pull out the Book of Wisdom.

"Please wait a moment, I will look up the corresponding information right now."

With that, she opened the pages of the book.

At the very next instant, an accident suddenly occurred.

A purplish-black hand suddenly emerged from the opened pages, grabbing Echidna's head and preparing to crush it.

Echidna's pupils shrank abruptly, and she could even hear the sound of her skull gradually being crushed.

Kenma rushed forward and delivered a powerful chop, slicing open that hand.

Losing the pressure in an instant, Echidna staggered and fell to the ground, blood spraying, and even her soul body became illusory.

"I cannot peer into Satella... She can inversely invade my Authority..."

Looking at the weak and exhausted Echidna, Kenma narrowed his eyes, and an unspeakable irritability spread in his heart.

Why would Satella suddenly have such a condition? Why would she stop him from prying?

As the full observer of Return by Death, Satella naturally knew of Echidna's existence, and also knew that Kenma was the contract controller of Echidna. In other words, every action of Echidna was Kenma's will.

But the problem right now was that Satella seemed to have actively shielded herself, and even Echidna's search was forcibly blocked.

Satella... What on earth happened on your end?

At this moment, he froze for a moment, and a neglected clue surfaced in his heart.

Right! How could I have forgotten about this!

Elior Forest.

A hundred years ago, the region pursued by Regulus, the Sin Archbishop of Greed, and Pandora, the Witch of Vainglory, suspected of sealing the power of Satella, the Witch of Envy.

And the Pleiades Watchtower, the true region where the physical body of Satella, the Witch of Envy, was sealed.

Could it be that something went wrong in these two places?

Thinking of this, Kenma spoke again to the weak and exhausted Echidna, "Echidna, use your Book of Wisdom to search now. I want to know the method to effectively kill Pandora, the Witch of Vainglory."

"Uh..."

Echidna really wanted to point at herself and ask a question.

Didn't you see that blood is spraying from me, and I've been weakened to this state?

But because of the contract, she could not refuse any of Kenma's requests, and could only endure the weakness to open the Book of Wisdom again.

This time, there was no more obstruction. Lines of text quickly appeared on the blank pages of the Book of Wisdom, recording the method of how to kill Pandora, the Witch of Vainglory.

As the Authority of the Witch of Greed, Echidna, the Book of Wisdom recorded things that happened in the past, present, and future, which could be consulted at any time.

In the history of the world, the method by which Pandora, the Witch of Vainglory, could be killed had also been imprinted on the milestones of the era.

After the Book of Wisdom finished generating, Echidna respectfully handed the book to Kenma.

"Regarding the method on how to kill Pandora, the book has already listed two points that can achieve it. Please review it yourself."

Kenma took the book and began to review the contents on it.

After a few seconds, Echidna keenly observed that his face seemed to be getting darker and darker.

After several more seconds, Kenma clicked his tongue impatiently and shoved the book back into Echidna's hands.

"What is written on it? I can't understand it at all. You read it to me. The requirement is absolute correctness, and you cannot add any words."

Echidna: "..."

He had been in this world for so long, and he was still an illiterate?!
