Chapter 250: Completion

BOOMM!

“Fuck no!!!”

The arrow did hit, but it hit the ground behind her, where she had the runes that held her barrier that allowed her to use artifacts and space magic.

This caused the barrier to stop working. The teleportation scroll stopped working just as the rift was about to be created, plus she didn’t know she had that arrow, but even she felt Elena’s concealment shatter.

“…”

It was irreparable in a short time. She was cornered and her lair was halfway to the city walls, but looking into the distance, more and more reinforcements were arriving, and the city lord did not seem to be sparing resources to catch her.

Seraphina underestimated Eryk’s purpose, he knew there was something suspicious about the situation, and the last place he could track Kiel.

He preferred to shoot at a place uncertainly than to shoot at her, he took a risk and destroyed the place and his bet result be right.

Seraphina understood this, but it still put her in a very dangerous situation. The only good thing was that, when she looked in Eryk’s direction, she realized that the arrow had been him last hurrah before fainting from the hole in his side.

Now she definitely didn’t have to worry about dodging arrows, but that was no longer of any use.

But just when she thought that at least that was a good thing and she could still try to reach the edge of the city and get out of the barrier, his vision caught something that disturbed her .

A black fire began to rise from the Lord’s residence. Immediately, he knew who that fire belonged to; there was no doubt, it was Akihara.

’damn, no, he was supposed to sleep for hours’

So she thought, but with so much commotion and Chaos even the dead would wake up not to mention that they might have possibly wake up her on purpose.

Seraphina felt backed into a corner.

’Fuck, this isn’t over yet.’

Despite being surrounded by enemies, she hadn’t completely lost hope, she could still go on, she still had a chance to escape.

The rising black fire confirmed that Akihara had woken up, not that it came for her, maybe the letter she left gave her the seconds she needed.

“I should have left the bed behind… I really should have.”

She thought, as she exhaled regretfully. She thought that grandiose bed was a big part of her current anger, and just hoped that the note she left would do some good.

“Haaaah~... well, there’s no choice left.”

She sighed as she watched the crowd of pursuers about to arrive at her location.

From her storage she pulled out three of her strongest protective artifacts and activated them in a moment in front of her. She felt it could give her en enough time.

And again she pulled out five gems with powerful spells. They were her most powerful trump cards, so powerful that they could hurt someone like Akihara and even kill Veyrith.

Although she didn’t want to use them, she had no choice; she had to get out of there alive and that was her priority, even though it was a waste.

She quickly placed them in one her gloves, which Qetesh, knowing what she was going to do, molded them to fit.

“Haaaah~… this ticket, platinum, left me broke.”

The five gems were positioned in her gauntlet, like a gauntlet that could make half the universe disappear, which he thought wryly, was a strange coincidence.

In fact, when she thought of this way of using those five spells and turning it into a major trump card, she was looking forward to using them.

5

They would take five seconds to activate. As she activated the spells, she concentrated mainly on the flame coming out of the residence, which had not moved.

4

She needed to be careful, as it was even more dangerous than the approaching wyverns. She also needed to concentrate and unite the five powerful spells imbued in the five gems.

3

She needed to align them to form an even more powerful attack. She didn’t even pay attention to the pursuers who were being held off by the three protective barriers she cast.

2

It looked like she would succeed. The gems were lined up and she only had to snap her fingers, as a preset move, for this moment.

So far, the fire did not move at all. That was her chance.

And since there didn’t seem to be any problem, at that moment she vowed to say what she thought when she created this trump card.

It may sound silly, but image and will were important during this process, and try as she might, when she created it, she could think of nothing better to stimulate it than to say…

“I am inevitable…ughh!!!?”

Just as she was about to complete her sentence, at the same time as her muscle movement began, for start snapping fingers.

She felt a pain in her chest that made her involuntarily stop.

Seraphina looked down and noticed that something had been driven into her chest. Was it a wooden stake?

’At what point? No… who?’

She didn’t understand how it happened. her barriers were fine and there shouldn’t be something going through her so fast. she finally looked and noticed that the barriers had been broken….

’How?, when? … where did this come from?’

She didn’t understand anything. She hadn’t been careless, relying on the protective barriers she also had on her body, as well as the armor, but this attack was not what she had expected.

She looked to where the attack had come from and saw an old demon sitting on top of one of the wyverns.

From here, she could tell his power; he wasn’t hiding it at all, and although she couldn’t be sure, he was definitely beyond the first rank of soul conversion, something this realm wasn’t supposed to have, besides Veyrith and Akihara.

’Why was such a powerful old man here?’

No matter how she thought about it, the situation did not change, The stake in her chest was a plant element spell, but a particularly bloodthirsty one, designed to invade her and grow inside her body, using her as fertilizer.

Seraphina used purification to ward off the invasion, even if it was both physical and magical, and worked with her parallel thinking to keep the gauntlet spell from deactivating as she did so.

Seraphina doggedly continued, even with all that happened, while vowing to himself that this would be his last reference, of this franchise.

“You should… cough! …You should have gone for the head,motherfucker!!…”

Click!!

At that moment, she snapped herfingers. The five wide-ranging spells concentrated on a single point, hitting the city barrier with tremendous force.

CRACKK!!

She knew this point was vulnerable since she decided to build her lair there, and the large crack began to break through the barrier.

Just as she prepared to activate the scroll and escape, even at the cost of receiving more attacks from the old demon, she looked to see what he would do.

“…”

What she saw shocked her to her core. The old man’s head tilted to the side… then slid clean off his neck.

Even the old demon himself seemed unable to grasp what had just happened. His face remained frozen in an expression of disbelief, as if his mind refused to process the reality of his own death.

And just like that, the next spell aimed at her collapsed, forcibly cut short.

Seraphina didn’t fully comprehend what had happened, but there was no time to hesitate. She moved to activate the scroll. No matter what, she had to escape—

“…”

Or so she thought—until she felt it.

One hand. holds her hand firmly. Tight. Unyielding.

The scroll slipped from her grasp. Her escape—thwarted. Again.

The figure appeared before her at an impossible speed, so fast that it didn’t seem like movement at all, but more like it had simply materialized.

“Haaah~…. Vey.”

She recognized the one holding her hand.

“…”

It was Veyrith.

It seemed that they had indeed woken up, she didn’t know what exactly the cause was, butss she must have thought of her when she saw Akihara’s flames.

She hadn’t realized it until now, but somewhere deep inside her, she had stopped seeing Veyrith as a threat. Serphina knew it and tried to fix it, but in the end she couldn’t do it.

Her instincts were completely unresponsive and she was now at a fatal disadvantage for not taking her into account.

Seraphina dropped the gauntlet from the held hand, she simply had no choice. She would never be able to outrun Veyrith in speed, and she could do do dozens of things before Seraphina could do one.

It was useless to defend or fight back, so all that was left was to speak.

“….The fact that you didn’t attack me means you know what’s going on here, right?”

Seraphina said, deep down she congratulated herself for being careful and leaving that note, in case of emergencies like this. At least they wouldn’t attack her by accident, but it wasn’t stopping her from attacking her on purpose.

The {P.S., if you wake up one half of the attack I’m the one being chased don’t kill me} at the end of her goodbye letter worked.

But leaving that aside The wooden stake was embedded in her chest, destroying her demonic core, something sometimes even more lethal than the head in demons.

The old man had been smart, but she wasn’t a demon to begin with, and the consequence was that she was now slowly regaining her human functions.

Though a hole in her chest was also something she had to consider, now, with usable morphogenesis, she could buy time.

“….”

Veyrith watched all this, and Seraphina felt her hand tremble and doubt and other chaotic emotions pour out of her.

But at leasts she didn’t look like she was going to kill her right away, or she’d be like that old man who lost his head before he realized it.

“cough!… As you can see, I’m female… but more importantly, I’m human. And well, I think that stake in my chest is about to kill me, so I don’t have much time left…cough!… humm…, what else can I say? In the end, it’s inevitably goodbye, isn’t it…cough!.…you know, it was nice meeting you…., it’s a pity we’re not meant to be, cough!.…”

Despite what seemed like a culminating situation in a failure of all her plans, and her own life slipping away from her, Seraphina acted calm, as she said a proper goodbye to Veyrith, something she could not have done before.

Veyrith who had said nothing until now finally spoke up upon hearing Seraphina’s words.

“No!!, don’t talk like that, you’re not going to die. My mistress will take care of this. She is already coming. Her blood is like an elixir. I don’t care that you’re a woman and everything else, as long as you apologize, my mistress is willing to be lenient. It’s not over yet…”

“I see… I guess I wasn’t the only one who appreciated this little period…. Haaa~, but Vey, I’m not saying goodbye because I’m dying…”

“I’m doing it because I have a place to go back to…, I’m really sorry Vey.”

The one who finished the sentence was a second voice that emerged from nowhere in an instant and without warning, next to Seraphina.

Veyrith was in shock, she stopped understanding the situation for a moment and the reason was that the one who appeared at that moment was Eryon.

“….”

Veyrith remained motionless. her gaze oscillated between the “Seraphina” she was holding… and Eryon, she didn’t understand, they were supposed to be the same person and her mind was slow to put the puzzle back together.

One mistake. A single second of doubt… It was enough

The doopelganger did not waste a moment, even when he spoke he had already made his move, Veyrith did not notice him but with a golden dagger he cut with a single slash Seraphina’s hand held by Veyrith.

And in this second of Veyrith’s confusion the doppelganger took advantage and to push her backwards abruptly, straight into a portal that was created out of nowhere.

He pushed her along with the dimensional stone and other things, including the now destroyed red gem, a sign that he had used his last chance….

..

Seraphina, who was pushed, saw the scene, with the first rays of dawn accompanying it, she saw her doppelganger kiss Veyrith, it was something necessary, but still she had complicated emotions and remorse inside her.

That was the last thing she saw. Her vision went blurry for an instant and the spatial sensation was transmitted in her body, until finally in seconds her vision changed, she was now in what was her room.

“THE LAST ONE!, QETESSSHHH!!!”

But swallowing all the emotions she had about her, she did what she had to do, and in an instant, without a second’s respite, she positioned herself firmly and with her now one arm .

Bang!!

She attacked the magic circle with everything she had, destroying it completely, closing the portal and marking the end of everything.
