Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 532: Only Two Peer

After leaving the mansion, Fang Li had just arrived in the hall when the two figures standing guard there bowed to him.

“Are you heading out?” One asked.

“Are you going out?” Echoed the other, their manner of speaking akin to stereo sound, as usual.

Seeing the twins suddenly appearing in the hall, Fang Li keenly noticed a slight difference from before.

So, Fang Li glanced at Rem, then at Ram, and somewhat curiously spoke up.

“Why does it feel like you two are closer than before?”

It was that kind of feeling.

Rem and Ram were a pair of twins with an exceptionally close bond.

Elder Sister always looked out for Little Sister.

And Little Sister held Elder Sister in high esteem.

Moreover, being the only survivors of the Oni tribe, they had depended on each other since childhood, naturally fostering a strong bond.

However, previously, there had been occasional hints of a gap between Rem and Ram.

Perhaps, those gaps stemmed from the unresolved issue of the horn between the sisters.

Now, any gaps between them had completely disappeared, allowing Fang Li to clearly sense the trust between them.

If this wasn’t getting closer, then what was?

In response, Rem stepped forward, thanking Fang Li sincerely.

“We are truly grateful for your care before, Lord Fang Li.”

Her attitude was much more genuine than before.

Initially, Fang Li was just another dangerous individual to be wary of for Rem.

Coupled with her own enduring sorrowful past, she had almost lost herself in her efforts to replace Elder Sister in the mansion.

Fang Li had felt no hint of human emotion or presence from Rem’s body.

Now, Rem was finally starting to resemble a human being, no longer a lifeless doll.

As for Ram, her attitude remained unchanged from before.

“I’ve heard most of what happened from Rem.”

Ram spoke in a tone that didn’t sound particularly polite, saying to Fang Li, “Although it may seem like meddling in other people’s business, Ram still wants to thank you.”

Despite the difference in attitude, their thoughts were the same.

From this, it could be seen that these maids were indeed true sisters connected by blood.

Previously, Fang Li had simply regarded these sisters as servants of the mansion.

It wasn’t until now that he felt a hint of humanity from them.

Before these sisters, Fang Li couldn’t help but reveal a heartfelt smile for the first time.

So, Fang Li said, “You don’t need to thank me. I didn’t intend to do anything special, but I couldn’t stand seeing someone around me looking so down and negative. It just didn’t sit right with me.”

Hearing this, Rem lowered her head, murmuring softly, “I feel ashamed.”

“Regardless, the fact remains that you helped Ram’s Little Sister,” Ram said, “You’ve really done us a great favor.”

“…If you really think so, then perhaps soften your lofty tone a bit,” Fang Li said with a hint of annoyance.

“And besides, let’s not forget about the curse situation. The Curse User in the village is still active.”

Upon hearing Fang Li’s words, Rem and Ram both became serious.

Ram then spoke frankly, “Lord Roswaal probably won’t personally make a move for a mere Curse User, so did he commission Lord Fang Li to go to the village and resolve the issue?”

…

Although Ram’s tone remained as unruly as ever, her guess was almost entirely correct.

On the other hand, Rem’s manner of speaking was much more tactful compared to her sister’s blunt approach.

“After all, the combat strength in this mansion is almost entirely dependent on Lord Roswaal’s abilities alone. Compared to Lord Roswaal, our abilities are still too insignificant,” Rem explained.

This was indeed the truth.

Due to the loss of her horn, Ram’s power had significantly decreased.

Formerly known as the Demon God, Ram should have been at least a third-rank existence.

After all, the Oni were an extremely advanced clan in this world, renowned for their formidable combat prowess.

Among the Oni, Ram had manifested power strong enough to rival even the chiefs upon birth.

She was hailed as the Demon God during her childhood.

It was not surprising that she ranked third, just below Reinhard.

However, now Ram might not even be a fourth-rank, perhaps only ranking among the weaker fifth-rank individuals.

As for Rem, she could still unleash perfect combat power.

However, Rem’s abilities within the Oni were mediocre to begin with.

Her usual combat prowess was probably just slightly stronger than Ram’s.

Unless she triggered her demonic horn, she wouldn’t even reach the fourth rank.

Among the remaining individuals, Emilia’s abilities were quite outstanding, but at best, she was only a fourth-rank, unable to match up to even the “Bowel Hunter.”

Pack and Beatrice were extremely powerful Great Spirits, but one had restricted power due to a change in form, while the other, bound by contract, would rarely leave the forbidden book library under normal circumstances.

Considering this, the combat strength of this mansion truly relied almost entirely on Lord Roswaal alone.

As the master who had reached the pinnacle in various fields of magic, he was hailed as the kingdom’s strongest mage.

His power alone was sufficient to defend the kingdom’s borders, making it impossible for foreign invaders to penetrate.

However, precisely because of this, this powerful mage could not act rashly.

Otherwise, the mansion would have almost no combat strength, and the possibility of being targeted and breached would be extremely high.

Since the Witch Cult posed a potential threat, Roswaal naturally could not leave the mansion easily.

Hence, Roswaal commissioned Fang Li.

And precisely because of this, Rem and Ram came here.

“Lord Fang Li,” Rem raised her head and looked at Fang Li, saying, “Please allow Rem to accompany you.”

This statement did not surprise Fang Li in the least.

“Is that alright?” Fang Li asked.

“Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, has it?”

“However, Rem is the only one who has had close contact with the Curse User, and it has been very frequent. Therefore, Rem has been implanted with a large number of techniques and spells,” Rem said with a serious expression for the first time.

“Rem will definitely be useful.”

“Since Rem has decided to go, then there’s no choice. Ram will have to go along as well,” Ram said with an impatient tone.

“With Lord Roswaal in the mansion, there’s no need to worry. Ram going with you might actually be somewhat useful.”

“Is that something you should say in that tone?” Fang Li couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.

Then, Fang Li hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
