I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Ishid smirked, as he felt the mana in the air rapidly thickens.

He could see the different kinds of particles in the air with a variety of colors representing their attributes. And Ishid could see almost every color.

With a smile still on his face, Ishid opened his mouth.

"This will be fun... let's see your last struggle."

Evelyn was wrapped in light as the mana gathered around her.

She clenches her teeth as she feels every tip of her body doused in her cold sweat.

"Let's see about that..."

Evelyn said determinedly. She glared at Ishid who was standing there leisurely, waiting for her attack.

Honestly, Evelyn was making a gamble. She actually decided to sham Ishid with this display of mana from her.

'Seriously, I don't know if this will work...' Evelyn thought.

Looking at Ishid, Evelyn doesn't know if he is just confidently arrogant about his powers that he could deflect her attacks or that he knew she was just bluffing.

Either way, it was the only thing that Evelyn could think of at her current situation. Cunningly attacking him with a sly method was her only option. After all, none of her spirits were there to support her.

She knew full well that a full frontal attack was her only option that could make damage to Ishid.

Her best shot was Gab however, the result was just utterly shocking and despairing.

Evelyn could try and ask for help from her father, however, she became afraid that it would only result in failure.

That moment, her deep thoughts were cut off because Ishid decided to taunt her.

"I really love seeing people give their best until the end... and also seeing their face in despair after knowing that it was a futile struggle."

"Hah... me? In Despair? I doubt that...!"

Evelyn said as she let go of the multiple spells she conjured.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Bang!

A dark shield materializes in front of Ishid.

While her attacks exploded in the air and continued to collide with Ishid's dark barrier, smoke appeared.

It was the result that Evelyn wanted.

While Ishid was still defending himself against her attacks, Evelyn left her position to get at Ishid's blind spot.

"Do you really think that this will work against me...?" Ishid yelled.

His vision was still blurry because of all the smoke that came from the fire and water spells that Evelyn casted.

The evaporation causes the whole area to look like a country of clouds.

Swish!

However, Evelyn appeared in a flash.

"I don't give a shit what works. What matters is you got to taste your own medicine!"

Evelyn clearly declared.

Swish!

Ishid has this utterly shocked face.

'I got you...!' Evelyn thought to herself.

When she is in close proximity, almost one step away from him, Ishid's shock reaction changes to a devilish smile.

'Shit...!'

Her guts were telling her that Ishid was just waiting for her to do this.

But her attack was already determined and changing it all of a sudden is close to impossible.

Evelyn could only embrace herself to what was about to come.

"But before that... I need to take revenge for Gab!"

She swings her sword that was casted with fire magic.

'"Let's see who's faster... my sword or your stupid dark magic."

Swish!

"Aaahh!"

Evelyn smiled. Setting aside her guts and bravely attacking him was the correct choice.

"Ahh... haah"

Ishid screamed and hissed as he got injured from Evelyn's sword. His back was slashed and because of the fire wrapping the sword, his skin melted before it even bleeds.

"Surprise b*tch!"

Evelyn feels elated that she can't help but cuss at the result of her decision.

Though the celebration needs to be celebrated at another time because Ishid has casted multiple spells for his counter attack.

Black spears appeared from thin air.

"You will pay for this!"

Swish!

It directly attacks Evelyn. It followed like a marked target.

She quickly responds and defends herself with her sword.

Shing!

Clang!

When the black spears were hit with her sword it evaporated and became a black smoke in which is poisoned.

Evelyn, whose body reacted to the dark energy, knew to hold her breath. Especially since Cassandra instructed and taught her all about things that concerned dark magic since Cassandra is the last witch.

She was cautious enough to think that everything that came from Ishid was dangerous.

"Haa... haa... haa..."

Evelyn breathed hard as she was constantly avoiding and defending his black spears and other dark magic that Ishid threw at her.

When Ishid's attack was momentarily paused, Evelyn thought that she exhausted Ishid's mana.

But alas, a powerful aura made everyone realize that it was not the end. Evelyn shivered when she felt the powerful magic coming from above.

And so, she looked up.

A dark magic circle with complex writings was up in the air, almost the size of the center plaza enveloped the whole area.

Evelyn tried not to be so shocked. However, she can't help but to do so. 

Unconsciously, she gulped.

The scale of the mana and magic circle was something that she can't handle by herself.

She knew that Ishid had something on his sleeve that he would use when he was cornered.

But it doesn't mean that she knew that he would use such a high level spell.

"You're going all out? Why do you feel that this is your last shot?"

Evelyn tried to provoke Ishid.

Smirking at her words, Ishid replied in a confident voice.

"I guess you could say that this is the last shot... for now... for these people."

Crackle...

Crackle...

The sound of the magic circle that Ishid is still invoking was heard.

From the looks of it, it's a high level spell.

Evelyn alternately turns her head from the magic circle to the knights that are still evacuating the people.

Biting her lips, Evelyn could only push herself to fight.

'I need to stop this!"

Tightly holding the hilt of her sword, Evelyn is trying to figure out how she could disrupt Ishid as well as protect the still evacuating citizens that are still near the plaza.

"There's no other option... but to do this-"

Evelyn immediately sprints. She arrived in front of Ishid, ready to swing her sword.

However, Ishid's eyes followed her movement.

'What the-'

She swing her sword and attack her with 'wind slash'

Swish!

A black barrier appeared.

"Shit...! motherfuc-"

Evelyn could only say cuss words.

Seriously, she knew about the novel and read it all…

'But there was never an OP villain like Ishid in the novel. Shit!'

Evelyn felt frustrated.

'How can I defeat this guy!'

At that moment, Ishid opened his mouth.

"You are already late… Lady Evelyn."

Ishid gestured above where Evelyn heard the crackling sound.

"Kyaah!!"

"Oh lord…!"

"Mommy…"

"I don't want to die!"

"Lord, save us…"

The people who see and feel the heavy surroundings were made aware of what would happen once the spell activates and they're still below the magic circle.

"Shit…!"

Evelyn looked up and saw that the magic circle is complete and is ready to shoot out the high concentrated mana that Ishid gathered up.

"I wonder what you will do…" Ishid arrogantly said.

Evelyn bit her lips and quickly left the battle with Ishid.

She arrived at the center of the plaza and saw that in any minute the spell would activate. Evelyn looked around, there were still people in the plaza.

"Tsk!"

Left with no choice, Evelyn put her hands up and immediately cast a barrier.

A mellow light appeared and covered the whole plaza. All the evacuees stopped as they saw the light up in the sky

A thunderous noise came from the sky. Dark clouds gathered and black spears rain down.

"Ugh…!"

Her hands still up in the air were trembling as she put up a fight to defend the people that were still leaving the plaza.

"What the hell are you doing?! Move! Don't get distracted!!!"

Allan shouted at the people who stopped their feet and was mesmerized at the barrier that protected them.

Bang!

Whoosh!

Boom!

Allan couldn't help but look at his sister who was struggling alone in that dangerous situation.

He wants to help but he needs to make sure that everyone leaves the plaza so his sister could go all out and not be restricted knowing that someone could get hurt in their fight with the bastard Ishid.

At that moment, Allan, who was watching his sister, saw blood coming from her mouth.

"Ppuuuk!"

"Evelyn!"

Allan decided to abandon everything and quickly ran to his sister.

Evelyn whose mana was already at the limit was pushing herself more.

Bang!

Swish!

Thud!

Black spears were still raining down on her, and the barrier appeared to have cracked every time the black spears that came from the magic circle collided with it.

"How long do I need to keep doing this- ppuuuk!"

Blood was leaking from her mouth and Evelyn knew that she's reaching her limit.

She looked at the surroundings and saw that no one was in the vicinity anymore.

"Thank Goodness…" Evelyn mumbled.

Though there was someone who caught her eye.

"Huh…?"

Someone was running towards her and because she was getting dizzy in exhaustion, her vision was getting a little blurry.

"Who…"

But her knees were about to give up. Thank the heavens that the attacks were done and the magic circle disappeared.

Evelyn was about to fall when Allan arrived to catch her.

Thud!

With her tired eyes, Evelyn glanced at the face of the man who held her.

"Allan…?"

With a worried and nervous look, Allan asked.

"Are you alright, Eve?" 

"Haaa… I'm not… I feel tired."

Allan could only look at his sister's appearance. Her face was getting pale and the blood in her mouth was getting Allan in a worry.

"What about that bastard?!"

Evelyn asked. At that moment, Ishid talked as if he waited for his turn.

"What a great reunion… oh wait, I forgot that you hate each other. So is it still great?"

"Shut your mouth!"

"Oh… what a scary brother. If I don't know any better, I would think that you two are close."

Just shut up!

Seriously, Evelyn who was hanging on her consciousness right now was getting angrier the more Ishid opened his mouth, leaving remarks that irritated her.
