I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 213: HER UNIQUE HAIR: PART 3

Ishid sighed like he was just putting up with Gab.

"This is why I hate the people surrounding Eve. Well... You arrived earlier than I expected… might as well kill you first. And then after that I can kill her. I guess we have a deal then."

"Shut your mouth, you piece of trash!"

Bang!

Crash!

Boom!

Gab kicked Ishid again and again and he flew from building to building until Ishid plopped on the floor.

At his beastly physical strength, Gab didn't need a body enhancement and strengthening because he was already powerful enough.

However, for the first time, Gab was so angry that he cast it on himself and crushed Ishid to the floor that resulted in a dent like a meteorite that just came from space and landed on the very same spot.

Meanwhile, Ishid was just blocking Gab's simultaneous attacks. And when he sees an opportunity, he strikes back.

Bang!

Crash!

Gab flew like a piece of bone and arrived a hundred feet away from where Ishid just struck him.

"Children really are so impatient and rude, you don't even respect the elders anymore? You should have let me finish first."

Ishid said like he was just scolding Gab for throwing a tantrum. 

Crack!

Crack!

Ishid moved his head from side to side and it made a noise like a crunchy chip that was snapped in half. 

The knights who saw it think that he was just stretching and the fight with the general of the beastmen whose kind was revered as ten times much stronger than humans, now only like a child's play for the man.

"It was so different from that Lady earlier."

The knights who were standing far away from the fight said and they immediately looked towards the lady who was recuperating.

Evelyn is still bleeding because of how many times Ishid and her clashed with each other.

The surroundings of the now ruined plaza are the evidence of their intense fight.

And like the knights that witnessed the battle since it started and said the difference on how Ishid handled his different opponent was true.

The fight between the lady and the impostor of General Gab was intense.

At first, it was just an explosion that came from one of the carriages that was just passing by in the busy street of the capital.

The guards thought that it was a terrorist attack, bombing the peaceful capital of the Levingstone Kingdom when suddenly two individuals emerged from the carriage explosion.

The thought of capturing the two as they take an oath to the country to preserve the peace whenever it was disturbed kicked in.

However, when the two people whose identity was still unknown started to fight each other, the knights didn't know what to do but just to evacuate the civilians to a safe place as much as possible.

Before they arrived at this situation, Evelyn and Ishid started to cast spells against each other.

Evelyn learned the truth behind the fake masks, and she quickly made her move. 

She gathered the mana in the surrounding area and lumped it into a ball.

The gathered mana is enough to blow a castle away in an instant.

And Evelyn, who saw the confused look in the citizens eyes that were still in daze because of the shock, was first given a warning by striking the floor with her wind spell.

And as if they knew the next shot would be them, they immediately left the scene and the mana gathered between Evelyn's palms became as big as a platter.

It was dangerously dense. However, Ishid just idly stood and didn't even try to stop her.

Evelyn thought then… 'Does he think that this is nothingIs he underestimating me? Or is he just confident that he can take this dense mana that I gathered?'

Whatever that may be, Evelyn thinks it was an advantage for her. An opportunity that a fool willingly gives to her.

The simultaneous attacks against each other made the knights recognize that once they stepped in the die on the spot.

There was blazing fire and sharp wind that came from the Lady.

Evelyn casts a tornado wind that she envelops to her fire arrows to speed up its attack and power.

Ishid smirks and immediately puts up a wall from nothing. The color of his mana surrounding the wall was dark… so dark that Evelyn could compare it to nothing.

As if it was empty and creepily eeri that Evelyn can't help but be disturbed by it.

And that continued for a while, the longer it takes the riskier it gets to the lady and the civilians.

At one point, Ishid took an innocent child that stumbled to the ground and was crying helplessly alone in the plaza that turned to become the  battlefield and Ishid made her a human shield.

All the people who witnessed it gasped in shock as the next moment they unconsciously knew that the Lady who was casting an ice spear was about to shoot it to Ishid when she stopped midway resulting in an explosion because of the mana that was gathered.

Evelyn immediately put a barrier between the kid and the misfired mana. And because of her quick wit and reflexes. The child was safe and alive.

"Let the child go, bastard!"

"Aww… look at you being all nice~ you should have just fired it when you still have the chance"

Ishid shoved the kid from the side which made a loud noise, and Evelyn who tried to rescue the child failed as Ishid was more motivated to get her killed.

"Nooo…!"

Thud!

"Ack…! ugh!"

Blood started to ooze from the young child's body and the knights, who at some point, were frozen from their spot, witnessed the horrifying scene and rushed to the place where the child was lying unconsciously.

However, Ishid was crueler than Evelyn thought. 

He killed all the knights who tried to help in one swoop without mercy.

And just like that the lives of the many were cut short in a blink of an eye.

Evelyn's sunset eyes shook as she saw the bodies fall one by one.

The rim of her eyes became red as she tried hard not to let a single tear fall down from her face.

Doing so would give Ishid a sense of satisfaction. AndEvelyn wouldn't give her that kind of pleasure.

With her frustration, anger, and killing intent were mixed together. Ishid knew that a little push and he could make Evelyn jump the edge of the cliff without him confronting the others.

Evelyn witnessed everything and felt her whole body tremble in anger as she looked at Ishid's satisfied face that was still disguised as Gab.

"You're gonna pay for this…!" Evelyn said between her gritted teeth.

The knights who witnessed it, consciously knew who was to side with. 

It was the Lady who protected the civilians during the crossfires of mana and magic spells.

Although one of the many lives that died today were their comrades and civilians they don't have the time to mourn because the attacks were still going on and their lives were still in danger. 

***

Back to the present, while Evelyn was gathering mana from the surroundings as she became weak after facing Ishid's continues attacks decided to focus on recuperating her mana's capacity while Gab confront Ishid with all his might. 

Like sparks flying around, Gab was using his sword and infusing it with his aura while also using fire attack spells to simultaneously charge Ishid.

Meanwhile, Ishid uses his black mana to conjure a sword from thin air to match Gab's fighting style.

What shocked Gab and the rest of the watchers is that Ishid is proficient with sword and seems to be on par with the General of the bahalkii.

"It's getting boring… General." said Ishid while he pushed back Gab after they clashed their sword with each other.

"Shut your mouth and I'll give you the pain that you so desperately want…"

"Oh~ how exciting."

The words and the cold voice of Ishid didn't match. It feels like he was just humoring a child that was throwing a tantrum which made Gab irritated.

Gab pushed his feet from the ground and sprinted towards Ishid once more while his sword was pointing to Ishid's heart.

Knowing where Gab was pointing the tip of his sword to, Ishid also charged at him, to face him and his attack.

Chuuk!

Facing each other, both of their swords can be seen to pierced each other. The tension in the air was heavy. Silence crept in the plaza. And all the people held their breaths.

They were praying that the General of the Bahalkii Kingdom succeeded in thrusting his swords to the enemy's heart.

"Ack…!"

The silence didn't last long as a grumble of pain came from Ishid and Gan's direction.

Evelyn heightened her senses and squinted her eyes. She was far away from them but could only see the back of Gab.

Her heart beats faster at the silence that once again penetrated the vicinity. Evelyn became anxious as to whose voice it was.

Thud!

However, the truth soon was discovered when Gab bent down on his knees and coughed blood that painted the floor.

"Ugh…"

Slowly, her sunset eyes opened wide and her heart sank deeper in the ocean. It was suffocating for Evelyn to think that her friend was hurt.

Her mind went blank when she saw Ishid smile and they locked eyes with each other.

And like a whisper, ishid opens his mouth.

"Say goodbye to your lovely friend, Eve~"

Ishid kicked Gab and he flew from one building to another, leaving a whole to the walls.

Ishid, who looks like he was enjoying himself toying with people's lives, smiles and laughs at Evelyn, who froze in her place as she witnessed Gab's motionless state.
