Book 3. Chapter 33

  “When things don't go the way you want them to.”

  Mhiralla's bloodcurdling screams of pain made her skin crawl as the pain from the loss of the lower half of her body barely allowed her to think or process what had just happened.

  In a matter of seconds she went from being close to avenging her father's death, gaining a huge advantage so she could win the battle against Morrigan and prevent Seth's awakening, only to have the whole situation change in just a couple of seconds.

  The weakness began to stun her thanks to the enormous amount of blood she was losing, staining the palms of her hands with the dark, thick liquid that warmed her cold fingertips a bit.

  [The skill Mental Defense had been activated.]

  As soon as the familiar coldness enveloped her body, Kalysto could begin to think clearly as she watched the huge black circle that the giant eye had transformed into as it tried to absorb Mhiralla, along with the lower parts of Morrigan's body and hers.

  Making the former saintess' stomach twist with disgust at the knowledge that the thing was eating part of her body.

  “Jhil! Jhil!” She whispered, too weak to do anything else as the pain spread through every part of her.

  Belatedly noticing that as soon as the lower part of her body was severed, the white glow in it faded.

  Inspect! She thought, observing the large black mass that the eye had become. Needing information about her enemy.

  Three windows opened to her left.

  Seeing Seth's high stats, it was like all hope of getting out alive and escaping were completely extinguished.

  Kalysto knew there was no escape.

  That place would be the death of her.

  The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  I don't want to die! Her eyes filled with unshed tears at the thought of dying like that.

  In a war that wasn't even hers.

  [The passive skill Pain Resistance has been activated.]

  If only I had been stronger none of this would have happened! But she had been too naive to think that she could escape with Alice from that room where she had woken up wearing a strange dress, believing that the only danger that awaited them outside the room was something she could easily handle. If only I could teleport someone with me we could have escaped together!

  But she couldn't, and the little instant she thought of using it, it didn't even respond, as if the barrier outside the room prevented anyone from getting in or out of there.

  But since the twins seemed to be able to enter and leave at will there must be some kind of secret code or special key to do so.

  “Jhil! Jhil! Regeneration!” she continued to whisper, injecting a large amount of mana into the first two spells to make sure everything went well, while thousands of ideas ran through her mind as the black sphere that was once the eye, continued to grow.

  Since her arrival in Elinor, all she had wanted was to rest and fulfill her part of her contract with the queen. The only reason she had been bent on helping the rest of the heroes was out of pity, because she knew they would die in the tower and in the hypothetical case that they did survive, she knew beforehand that they would be poisoned.

  However, everything had gone downhill from there. From Persephone trying to steal her body every chance she got, to the death of her father.

  How the hell did my life come down to this? Until a few months ago, her only concern was to finish her university degree quickly and become a freelance translator so she could quit her job as a waitress once and for all.

  But all she had gotten was a job change.

  A much more dangerous one than she had thought when she accepted the contract.

  [The passive skill Regeneration has been activated.]

  Though for an instant she saw her life flash before her eyes, Kalysto frowned. Angry at herself for the sudden moment of weakness when Tsuki and Aegir's lives hung in the balance.

  “Stop it! Stop acting like a loser! There are more important things to do than licking my wounds!” She scolded herself. “Jhil! Jhil!” She continued to heal herself, regenerating the flesh, bones and skin of her hip, legs and feet. Injecting as much mana as she could to heal quickly as her body lay on the ground, almost without strength.

  By the time she finished healing she had to summon a small group of shadows to cover her private parts, since although she was able to regenerate the rest of her hips and legs, she could not conjure clothes. So a simple black stain covered her front and back.

  Kalysto extended her shadow, pulling out with a slender tentacle of dark mana with a health potion, using the newly created tentacle to help herself drink it. Thanks to that the physical weakness began to wane little by little, allowing her to move her body freely again. Then she took out the rest of the mana crystals she had and absorbed them.

  Then she transformed into a pile of shadows and slid across the ground to where the demon king's body was lying.

  “Jhil! Jhil!” she conjured, surprised to find him still alive. “Jhil! Jhil!”

  “Kalysto, stop! You're running out of mana and we'd better escape before his awakening ends,” Aegir whispered, handing her the last ten mana crystals he had left.

  “Even if we escape there is nowhere to go. You read the book too, you know Seth will destroy this world soon. It's only a matter of time, probably the same will happen to Earth.”

  “I have to do something to save my people,” he muttered as he sat down with her help.

  They both watched in awe as the spherical figure began to change and elongate into a humanoid figure, barely two meters taller than a human.

  The green eyes of the fairy champion met Seth's cold, dark gaze. On whose face was a slight half-smile as he saw the deplorable state they were in.

  As she stood in anticipation, trying to hide the fear in her gaze, she struggled to think of a way to reach Tsuki in time and get them out of there. But even though Aegir had the power and experience to do so, they were both too far away from her pet.

  And as she remembered from what Tsuki told her, surely the demon king's skills also returned to level one after she revived him, as it had happened to Fenrir.

  “Where are my two avatars?” his piercing voice echoed throughout the battlefield. Instilling fear in the few that remained there.

  A quick glance to where she had fallen earlier revealed to Kalysto the location of the dark saintess.

  But Morrigan was unable to respond to the god's demands, the upper half of the dark saintess' body lay completely motionless on the ground.

  On top of a pool of her own blood.
