I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 221: AWAKENED BLOOD: PART 2



Cabel couldn't keep his eyes off as Evelyn starts to have a battle with Ishid the moment she descended from the sky.

He didn't even have the chance to do what the deceased Duchess told him to do.

Cabel felt incompetent and useless. The moment that he saw Evelyn's change in demeanor and the mana that was so different from how he memorized from Evelyn's light and warm aura made him rebuke the reality.

The crystal ball in his hand was shining so brightly. Earlier, the awakened Evelyn saw it and he through that she could so something about it as the mana inside the crystal ball was pure and almost is repelling her,

However, the changed Evelyn just ignored the crystal ball that contained the pure soul of her mother and the mana that so dense it technically made the black smoke coming from her, cleared out. She only smiled at Cabel and walked away.

"Protect that thing…"

Evelyn said that made Cabel think twice if he heard it wrong.

'She's supposed to be evil, right?' 

That was what Cabel was thinking the moment he realized the awakening of the demon blood of Evelyn was successful.

'But what will happen if I'm too late and Evelyn will become a real demon?'

Cabel felt frustrated at his lack of contribution as well as being helpful to the one woman he loves.

"I need to calm down…" Cabel said to himself as he watched the intense fight of Evelyn and Ishid.

"For now, I'll protect this... "

Cabel hide the crystal ball inside his coat and saw that the contracted spirits of Evelyn has arrived.

"Where the hell have you all been?!"

Cabel shouted at them. 

All the important people of Evelyn right now are here and are watching the fight between the awakened Evelyn and Ishid who at some point release his demonic energy.

"We'll talk later for now, you should get out of here and protect that one thing that could possibly make Evelyn come back to the way she used to."

Cabel could see the anger in Gil's eyes when he saw that he was late and that Evelyn was fighting alone. He could see that Gil and the rest are restraining themselves to go straight into the fight and assist Evelyn.

"Fuck! We are her contracted spirits but we couldn't even arrive on time! Shit!"

For now, Gil, Alisha, Bern, Cathy and Chrisfold, decided to observe the situation and think of how they could bring back Evelyn to herself when the time comes.

***

"Ha-hahaha!!! What? Is this the best you can?"

The madness in Evelyn's laugh made Ishid smile too.

"You really have the demon blood! Aahh~ I can't wait to kill and get your heart!"

However, the craziness of Ishid was second to none as his goal was just to kill Evelyn and obtain her heart.

"Really… then you should give your all because I'm going to kill you before you could do that!"

Evelyn with her black monstrous mana made spells out of thin air and the rubbles in the area floated in the air and was enveloped with fire.

She was getting all her attributes to work. So that she could kill Ishid.

"Ha-hahaha! I'm going to beat you up so bad you will not be recognized."

The moment that she saw Ishid was going to put up a barrier, the awakened Evelyn vanished so quickly that Ishid couldn't follow it with his heightened eyes.

"Shit! Where the hell did she g-"

"Surprise!"

Bang!

Ishid was kicked with a strengthened body by Evelyn. And because of her monstrous mana in her awakened state he was pushed back miles away.

"Ack…!"

Ishid coughs and a black red blood that was a sign of him being a half awakened demon gushed out from his mouth.

And as if Evelyn was running out of time, she appeared out of nowhere to where Ishid was tossed.

"I'm not done yet!"

Bang!

Boom!

ishi d was once again attacked by her magic that she casted earlier. Hundreds of cannonballs that Evelyn summoned strike down from him.

"Let's see if your barrier can last or my attack..."

Evelyn smiled like she's enjoying every moment that Ishid's face contorted.

"Ha-hahaha!"

Laughing like a villain, Evelyn raises both of her hands as she conjures magic circles in the air.  She ran him down with fire spells, thunder spells, water spells, and all the attributes that she has.

"Ugh…!"

Ishid grumbled as he saw that his barrier was slowly having cracks at Evelyn's continuous attack.

"This bitch!"

"Ha-hahaha! Die! Die! Die!"

Ishid can see that the awakened Evelyn was so different from the Evelyn that he watched for so many years.

"You're insane!"

"Ha-hahaha! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Now, he regretted not killing her when she was in her evolution state.

"I should really have killed you then!"

Ishid was enraged and thought that he would be at a disadvantage if he just continued to be in the defense.

So, he also released his spells.

"Shattenarmee"

Black shadows that came from the smoke gathered, and became a silhouette of a person with swords in their hands and their eyes glowed red.

Evelyn could only raise her brows as she opened her mouth.

"You do know that I'm also a demon now, right."

Snap!

One snapped alone made a hundred shadow army appear out of nowhere. It was a hundred more that Ishid's army.

"Go… my lovely shadows~"

When she saw that the plaza became a battleground for the dark beings that they summoned, Evelyn who was watching on the side as she observed the frustrated look in Ishid opened her mouth again.

"You know what…"

Ishid's attention focuses on the awakened demonic part of Evelyn.

Now that he has taken a closer look, the moment that he let Evelyn get tortured by her awakening was the wrong decision that he has made.

"... you should have killed this body when you had the chance."

The awakened Evelyn stated. As if her body was not hers as she nonchalantly told him what he was supposed to have done before he became in pitch because of her.

"It was my mistake that I enjoyed the wretched face you were making as you lost your persona to your demonic blood. It just reminds me how Monica's face was, in her last moments..." 

Ishid explained as he smiled but the blood in his mouth was spilling as the continued supply of his mana to make all the shadow army move and attack Evelyn.

Swish!

Slash!

"You know you're just wasting your mana." Evelyn announced as she could also sense that Ishid's mana was taking a toll on his body and that his mana was decreasing.

Unlike her, Evelyn has a tremendous mana even if she was not awakened and not affected by her demonic blood.

But because Ishid did something underhanded when Evelyn was fairly fighting with him, her mana was suppressed and the shock that she witnessed with her own eyes made her deny the reality and so, her so-called demonic blood takes charge to protect her soul that was in the state of breaking.

"I'm getting tired of this…"

Evelyn's red snake-like eyes lost the sparks and interest at the prey in front of her.

Swish!

She vanished in the blink of an eye. And Ishid became vigilant as the same pattern happened again.

Ishid turned his head and looked at his back as Evelyn also did the same earlier.

Chuuuk!

He felt an immense pain in his chest and looked down. He saw a hand with sharp black nails impaling him where his heart is.

"Ack… Shit!"

Ishid was wrong to expect that Evelyn would do the same thing and attack him from the back. He held the hand that was stuck at him and grip it tightly.

"Sc- schrägstrich…"

A black mist appeared from Ishid's hand that was holding Evelyn's as he tried to make her let it go.

"That's not gonna work… you know~"

Ishid met Evelyn's snake-like eyes and felt scared for the first time.

"You do know that I'm a demon now and most demonic spells would not affect me… I've been telling you that since earlier. You didn't listen?"

Evelyn chuckled like the sweet old girl she was.

"...My bad~"

Chuuk!

Evelyn retracted her hands from Ishid's body.

"Ughh! You…!"

Blood gushed out like a fountain from his body as he slowly fell from his knees and met the ground.

"You made the wrong choice when you decided to awaken someone like me…"

Evelyn smiled as she pointed her fingers towards him and…

Swish!

Ishid saw his world turn upside down. The shock didn't even register to him as he rolled in the ground.

'Huh…?'

The next thing he knew, his body was lying next to Evelyn without a head.

***

The plaza and the surrounding structure are all destroyed and the mana condense in the area was getting the people at the edge of the Capital feel it.

The people at the outskirts of the city could only see the dark clouds that were concentrated in the plaza. The thunder and the bloody sky almost made it seem that hell got transported into their kingdom.

Swish!

Boom!

The only thing they could feel was the simultaneous attacks that were made and everytime it happened one structure would be destroyed.

After a while, the stillness and quietness at the plaza made the citizens think that the fight had stopped.

"Who won?"

The question didn't even pop in their head as what the civilians think is who the hell did such a terrible thing to their capital?

But for the people who knew about the identity that started this fight that became a wide scale battle, the question 'who won?' is too important to them.
