“……!” Yelena abruptly rose from the mattress the place she had been sitting and Aendydn uncrossed his arms with a bewildered expression.

“What’s happening?”

“We have to test one thing.” Earlier than leaving the room with a decided expression, Yelena reflexively reached out her hand towards an artifact however stopped halfway. Upon seeing Yelena’s conflicted gaze, Aendydn bypassed her and took the artifact into his personal arms. “I’ll take it. It’s gentle sufficient for me to hold, even when it turns into a burden. Let’s go.”

“Alright.” Quickly, the 2 of them stepped into the hall. The hall was crammed with individuals who had come out after listening to an indistinguishable commotion. Amongst them had been three knights who had simply completed a battle and had been resting of their quarters.

“My girl!”

“My girl, are you secure?”

“As you possibly can see, I’m high quality. However do any of what that sound was simply now?”

The knights shook their heads. Not simply them, however everybody gathered within the hall couldn’t work out the supply of the sound both.

“Shouldn’t we go to the supply of the sound?”

“It’s harmful. Let’s all go collectively.”

“No, is it actually vital? Solely the knights ought to transfer, and we will keep right here.”

Opinions various. Nonetheless, there was no have to decide. Earlier than they might manage their ideas, the loud noise rang out once more, this time a lot nearer.

*BANG*

“Kyaaah!” A maid screamed, adopted by somebody shouting in astonishment.

“T-the ceiling!”

One facet of the ceiling collapsed utterly. Thick mud settled within the hall, obscuring their imaginative and prescient for some time. Because the mud slowly settled, a faint silhouette of an individual turned seen.

*CRUNCH*

Stepping on the particles of the collapsed ceiling, a person slowly descended. Nobody current noticed him as a human. There was no approach to describe the wings protruding from his again as anything.

Trezef smiled barely. “It appears fairly a crowd has gathered right here.”

The second Yelena heard the person’s voice, her backbone chilled. Her coronary heart pounded, however her physique froze. She felt an awesome energy able to destroying a fort coming from him. And people wings, might it’s———- As one despairing assumption brushed by means of Yelena’s thoughts,  Trezef appeared across the crowd and spoke. “Over right here.”

The hall fell silent. Nobody made a sound, and it was tough to think about so many individuals had been current. Within the midst of the silence, Trezef’s voice echoed clearly. “Is there a girl right here who might convey a lifeless man again to life?”

A commotion erupted. His phrases broke the silence and stirred up confusion. The girl who might save a dying particular person… Everybody current at this second knew precisely who the person referred to.

“Step again behind me, my girl,” Colin whispered as he reached for the hilt of his sword. The opposite two knights did the identical. Aendydn additionally put down the artifact and closed the hole between him and Yelena, his face tense. Then, a girl stepped ahead.  “Have you ever come for me?”

Yelena’s eyes widened. “Dina.”

She was none apart from Dina, the maid Yelena had rescued on the courtyard. As Yelena moved, Aendydn firmly grabbed her wrist, holding her again. Then, he shook his head at her. Within the meantime, Trezef’s vivid pink eyes had been fastened on Dina. “Wow. You saved a dying particular person?”

“Sure, that’s what I did.”

“It’s exhausting to imagine that somebody such as you has such extraordinary expertise.” Trezef’s gaze scanned Dina’s apparel. “You recognize nothing. The ability to save lots of lives is undoubtedly a divine grace.” Dina didn’t step again. Upon nearer inspection, her voice trembled, and her legs had been wobbly, however she stood agency and spoke. “God humbles himself from the bottom place. It’s solely pure for mercy to be given to the standard.”

“Ah!” Trezef exclaimed, clapping his palms collectively as if impressed. “Certainly, what you say is correct. You make a degree. Furthermore, seeing that you simply don’t cower even in entrance of me, it’s essential to possess an distinctive ability in saving lives.” Nonetheless, as he spoke, the nook of Trezef’s lips tilted to at least one facet. It was an unmistakable sneer. After seeing that smile, Yelena had a realization as if a pot of chilly water was poured over her head. He knew every little thing from the beginning.

“No!” Yelena’s cry scattered in useless into skinny air. As if it was a reaper’s scythe, Trezef’s sharp claw sliced by means of Dina’s physique. Blood sprayed in all instructions, as her physique immediately crumbled to the bottom like a wood log snapped into two, slowly falling into Elena’s sight. “AH!” Folks shrieked and screamed on the sight. She was killed——the life she had saved——so simply as if it was futile.

“Save her! Save the particular person!” The pungent scent of blood had unfold all through, and the hall immediately turned chaotic. Some vomited on the sight of a depressing corpse, and others collapsed in worry. Some tried to show and run, however the monster that appeared out of nowhere chased after them.

“Aaah!”

“Gaaah!”

Despair. Mistrust. Concern. Amidst the chaos, Trezef wiped the blood off his claws. “Unchanging, these people are. Even after a thousand years.” Trezef’s gaze was now fastened instantly on Yelena.

“Silver hair and pink eyes.” The looks matched the outline, however simply to make sure, they wanted further affirmation.

“Is she the one?” the person requested and somebody revealed herself from behind the wings that had lined the particular person.

“Sure, she is,” Rebecca replied, watching Yelena with gleaming eyes of pleasure. Lastly, the second had come. The second to kill that lady. Rebecca’s eyes couldn’t conceal her anticipation. “Ultimately, Duchess.”

The whole lot had began with that lady. Wasn’t it she who had uncovered the existence of Incan’s potion, resulting in all these occasions?
