The Arks - Chapter 390
“I can’t say I blame you for not knowing. Because that happened a hundred years ago.”
Rina woke up, with her hand shooting out. Mavislin dodged it easily and grabbed it.
“Easy there, you are the last one out,”: said Mavislin, putting her hand down.
“I feel dizzy. Wait a minute, what are you doing?” asked Rina, having half her vision blocked by a black block.
“I’m trying to heal your eye. It burst the moment you three entered the spell.”
Mavislin pulled her hand away from the injured eye. She sighed and slumped at her place. Rina propped herself up, noting that she was now blind in one eye. Ysabeau came over to comfort the Valkyrie.
“Bryan’s condition is back to normal, thanks to the emblem. And yours should be fine as well. There’s we can do about her eye. We can’t fix something that has been long gone,” comforted Ysabeau, looking at the Valkyrie.
Mavislin remained silent as she looked at her hands. Rina caught on and frantically grabbed the Valkyrie’s hands, shocking Mavislin.
“It’s alright! I am okay to take this injury! I knew from the beginning I had to sacrifice something to fuel the spell and it’s just an eye…” said Rina, trying her best to comfort Mavislin as well.
“You cannot regrow your eye, you know…” said Mavislin, slowly.
“I know! But you don’t have to be upset about it, I can still fight with one! I know it is not gonna be easy but I’ll figure it out somehow. Besides, I’m used to fighting in the dark.”
“If you had stronger, you wouldn’t have to sacrifice that eye. That spell doesn’t require anything but your memories. You were supposed to sacrifice your memories not your physical body,” explained Mavislin, getting up.
“How about that disgusting thing?! Where is he?” asked Rina, suddenly remembering her enemy.
“Having a good cry at that corner,” said Ysabeau, pointing at Kris, who had a crazed look.
Rina noticed that Bryan was at a corner, weeping as his head was still whirling from the memory overload. Because he truly had a human body and mind. Mavislin walked over to him and tried her best to comfort him. Ysabeau took the time to ȧssure Rina that her spell was masterful.
“You’re liars! Your spell showed me hell and tortured me! Those are nothing but what you want me to see not the truth! And the truth is that my mother is still alive!” yelled Kris, his powers slowly fading.
“And my family truly loves me!”
Rina wanted to get up to fight but Mavislin gestured her to stand down. Bryan was halted as well.
“You both made me proud. You won. Time to take a rest and leave it to the superiors to clean up the mess.”
As he tried to land a blow on Rina, Ysabeau protected the girl by hugging her. But the attack never came as Mavislin kicked the man away by his neck. He flew and created a crater onto the wall.
“How pitiful. You are still living in that delusion of yours.”
Mavislin walked over and placed a foot on his ċhėst, stomping on it until he coughed up blood. The man was still screaming and protesting.
“You’re a coward that believes that he has done nothing wrong. I wish for those who have fallen by your hands to drag you to the lowest level of hell if it exists in your culture.”
“And perhaps even the devil wouldn’t want you in his domain, because you’re such a wimp,” spat Mavislin, with dulled eyes.
“I’ll have to kill you quickly before you return to a human. You don’t deserve a family at all and even if it took a thousand years, You won’t be able to repent for all of your sins.”
Mavislin balled up her fists and prepared to make the final blow.
“Those who refuse death shall be thrown into the hands of it. Especially as one, that’s as unsightly as you are. A true, corrupt creature.”
She punched through his ċhėst and pulled out his heart. With no mercy or c compassion in her eyes, she crushed it. Rina and Bryan looked at each other. Masvislin wiped the blood away with the dead enemy’s clothes and turned to her underlings.
“Battle’s over. You both fought bravely.. I’m sure Gab would be happy to know that,” said Mavislin, smiling.
