Chapter 94 74. The Nihil Witch

Although Miss Smith did not live the greatest of lives and went through many painful years of existence it was nothing in comparison to her sister.

The moment she was taken away from her parents she lost any feelings of touch involving love.

Those who handled her treated her as an experiment and an experiment is what she became as countless tests were done on her.

It was a traumatic experience to go through at such a young age.

After all, the girl was only a toddler still in her single digits of age.

Yet she was forcefully taken away from her loving environment and removed from her parent's life.

What she knew became replaced with pain and misery as she suffered with every passing second.

The test that was performed on the girl should have never been done to any human yet the resistance that her body had made it possible for them to test her limits.

Although she was young she was still extremely powerful. The only thing the researchers had to worry about was breaking her mind as it would long deteriorate before her body ever would.

However, being isolated it was hard to keep the girl's mental health strong.

Yet this was both good and bad as they needed her mind to be weak enough that they could influence and manipulate her. But they just had to be such not to break her.

Many years passed like this until she became a teenager. That was the day she received her first mission.

A slave to the government and bound to them there was nothing she could do to resist them.

By that point, she was the youngest person to ever be an A-ranker.

Setting a record that was thought to be impossible the value of the girl rose tremendously.

Those similar to her in age were at best D-rank and even then those people would be considered geniuses.

When she was sent on her first mission it was an overwhelming victory for her as her enemies couldn't defend themselves against such a force.

Her Ability was far too strong for anyone to counter and it caused her popularity to rise.

When the public got a hold of the fact that there was such a young woman who was incredibly powerful and was working for her country, patriotism rose drastically.

Yet had they known what the girl was going through their thoughts on her actions might have been much different or maybe not.

In the span of five years, she rose to the top completing every mission assigned to her even ones that were suicidal.

During her last year in the living world, she reached S-rank a whole decade younger than the ones similar in power to her.

However, those at S-rank hold unmatched power that some consider being above human.

So when a broken and damaged girl has the power to destroy the world where nothing she loved remained, all hell broke loose.

Whatever restraint the government had over her was lost the moment she was strong enough to break free.

However contrary to what some might think she didn't exact revenge but rather calmly vanished from the face of the earth.

Had I not interfered and revealed her location it would've taken years before her corpse was discovered.

In the end, her fate was already sealed.

The reason she didn't attack anyone and why she disappeared was to live out the last of her life In blissful peace.

Where there was no pain, torture, or helplessness she survived in the wilderness surviving on its resources until the end of her days.

From the beginning to the very end she was left with nothing thus the name Nihil was bestowed upon her.

The witch aspect came from her unwarranted power and the fact that she was isolated from all those who loved her.

Her story was heart-wrenching and full of misery where nothing good came of her life had the government never discovered her powers her life would have been much different.

Yet perhaps it was her Ability that was the true nail in the coffin.

It allowed her to sacrifice her life force for mana; a powerful force that came at a great cost.

Every time she used it the less time she had to live.

Being that the government sent her on countless missions where the odds of survival were minimal it wasn't a surprise that she would end up dead soon or later.

That's why they made her the perfect tool that would complete anything others were too scared to do. Then when her time ran out they would just discard her without remorse.

Yet no matter how much of a slave she was to them she still managed to go out on her terms.

She spent the rest of her life on a desolate mountaintop surrounded by numerous powerful monsters.

Truly her story was not to be taken lightly as she went through something that no one should have ever had to do.

However, what makes her story so terrible is the fact that once her record was released to the public there was no outrage or care for her.

The government knew perfectly well how much time she had left so by the time the leak happened the Nihil Witch was long dead.

The people ignored the blatant abuse and cruelty of the matter and subjected the girl to an honorable death by chalking it up for the better good of humanity.

No matter what they did everything was in the past and if she hadn't done those impossible missions humanity wouldn't be where it is today.

After all, we are one of the weakest creatures and any leeway we make is incredibly significant.

Sacrificing one girl for millions was worth it in the mind of the general public.

So like that the legacy of the Nihil Witch was made.

.

I let out a sigh of pity for the girl as I finished reminiscing about what I wrote.

Had I known that the insignificant words I wrote would have such an effect on someone else I might not have done it.

But it was too late to be thinking like that as I had my own troubles to worry about.

If there was going to be more history revolving around the Nihil Witch it would have to come from Miss Smith as I was finished with the character.

Speaking of Miss Smith I finally heard her footsteps echoing throughout the cave as she got closer.

Rising to my feet I stood outside the entrance waiting for her arrival so that I could move on to the next step of my plan.

It was time to conquer a dungeon!
