I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 214: HER UNIQUE HAIR: PART 4

The gasps of the knights who were still in the plaza, frozen on their spot, echoed the shocked voices as they witnessed the scene.

"Gab!!!!!!"

Evelyn gained her mind after it went blank and immediately flew from her spot to where Gab got thrown away.

"Oh my Gab!"

There was cut all over his body, stab in his abdomen and probably a few broken bones because of the impact of the attack.

But what Evelyn was more worried about was the injury in Gab's head that was bleeding out.

'I should have been the one to fight with Ishid.'

'Why did I let him face that bastard by himself?! I should've help him much sooner'

Evelyn couldn't help but blame herself for what happened to Gab.

'I should've been the one in this position, not you'

"I'm sorry I dragged you in this mess"

She would never forgive herself if Gab won't wake up because of her. 

'No please let Gab be safe!!!'

Suffocated from her own thoughts, Evelyn decided to shout her lungs out just so Gab could hear her and wake up.

"Gab!!! Please wake up!"

She saw blood oozing from his body and onto the concrete floor that her mind became a blank slate as her eyes opened wide in shock.

"Gab!!! Oh no please!!!!"

"..."

There was still no response from Gab while Evelyn's hands were starting to get stained with his blood as she held him in her arms.

"Gab!!!!" 

Repeatedly shouting his name, Evelyn started to have ripples on her sunset eyes that slowly drenched Gab's handsome face.

Gasp!

"Ugh"

As if Gab heard her cries, he responded with a gasp that came with a groan.

Hearing this made Evelyn remember how they first met. However, right now they're not in the forest where she could gather some medicinal herbs.

And almost all the people around the plaza have been evacuated to safety.

Cough!

Gab vomited blood and Evelyn saw how badly his condition is right now.

Her mind was working faster than ever as she was split into making a decision to go and to fight Ishid again or stay here until the palace knights arrived. 

However, the cries of the people that were still confused about the attack are still scattered at the moment and that itself has something that needs to be done.

And Evelyn was the only one that could face Ishid right now.

"Please someone anyone help Gab!" she whispered.

Still, she couldn't just let Gab die at this moment. 

Evelyn already contacted her spirits; however, it would take a while before they could come to her side.

Because Chrisfold and Cathy get back to the Cabin after a knight reports that the ancient spell shines and makes the ground tremble. 

While Gil and Alisha are still missing and nowhere to be found.

And Bern has a task that Evelyn left her to go and find someone.

Suddenly, a voice pierced through the noisy plaza.

"...ve"

"...velyn"

"Evelyn!"

And as if they heard her desperate plea, Duke Keene arrived while running to her side. 

Turning her head from the voice that called her name. She felt relieved to see her father again.

His body still has signs from the previous fight he had with Ishid at the throne room as a bandage was wrapped around his left arm all the way up to his torso.

"Eve are you alright?"

"Father"

At her father's calm mind, he called the medics and reassured Evelyn that Gab will be fine.

"Evelyn."

Duke Keene put his hands on his daughter's shoulder and spoke to her.

"The healers will do their best you still need to stop someone."

Evelyn lifted her head to see the ruby eyes of her father that depicted the conviction and trust in her to end Ishid's violence and cruelty.

"I'll leave Gab in your care"

Nodding her head, Evelyn left with a relief that someone will take care of Gab while she faces Ishid.

***

Ishid looked at the back of Evelyn who left at the speed of light.

The reason being that one of her people was kicked and flew far away from the plaza, all beat up.

He looked in the direction where a couple of houses got destroyed as a result of the impact of his strength and magic.

"Hmm Did he die? Poor kid"

Ishid, still in disguise, looks and is still dressed like General Gab. 

It seems that he didn't have the intention to take off the spell.

"Well if he's dead I'll just take his place. That's also a good plan." Ishid said to himself as he smirked.

"But if he died then I don't need this disguise then oh well."

Ishid shrugged the thought after considering that his plan was just trash. 

He was satisfied that he deceived Evelyn and made her lower her guard. 

It became easier for him to attack Evelyn who was alone. It resulted in Ishid sabotaging the flow of mana in Evelyn's body.

Giving him advantage in that short amount of time and damaging her body to some extent.

Well, considering what he accomplished today and the damage he did, Ishid was already happy that he made his presence known from the people of the Levingstone.

Though, he used a disguise success is still a success.

"Guessed I've done enough. for now. That is."

Ishid smirked and was about to leave when he felt a surge of mana coming from behind.

He turned around and saw a fireball that was aiming Ishid's way.

Ishid didn't have time to dodge it so he repelled it using magic.

Whoosh!

Boom!

The fireball that came from Evelyn and a similar one from Ishid that is pitch black in color, collided and made an explosion.

Ishid smiled when he thought that the sneak attack didn't even reach him but then as the smoke rose and disappeared, a silhouette took shape.

Evelyn appeared with a sword in her hand. A sword that she snatched from her father.

Swish!

Ishid didn't see it coming and was struck by the sword in her hand.

Taking a few steps back, Ishid felt pain in the left side of his torso and saw blood gushing out.

"Ha- hahaha!"

Ishid laughed when he saw that his body, for the first time, after a long while, was hurt and was bleeding too.

"You're really something Eve~"

"Tsk!"

Evelyn clicked her tongue as she saw how she missed that opportunity to pierced him to death.

"... Are you angry because I killed your friend?" Ishid continued to taunt Evelyn.

"Shut up I've had enough of you talking bullshit!" Evelyn angrily shouted.

The fire in Evelyn's eye was enough for Ishid to tell that she was there to aim at his life.

"Well why don't you show me what you got?"

"You don't need to tell me because I am doing it."

With a sword in her right hand, she launched an attack while her other left hand was readily doing spells.

Ice spears gathered around Evelyn. At her back, different kinds of magic circles appear.

"I see You're getting serious now." Ishid mumbled.

Ishid watched her get closer, the amount of mana that Evelyn was using was enormous. And he knew that Evelyn was pushing herself.

And as he leered at her, Ishid thought that it was his place to grant her the fight that she wants.

"I'm going to get serious too don't get disappointed if you die on the spot."

"Don't make me laugh, Ishid. If there's anyone that needs to die right now that would only be you!"

Evelyn let the magic circle floating in the air attack him all at once. The four elements that she had were all poured out like a thunderstorm.

Fire, water, earth, wind, as well as one of her special attributes such as her Ice magic was shown without limit.

Boom!

Bang!

Whoosh!

Crash!

Boom!

It exploded as it met its target.

"Is that all you've got?"

Evelyn's eyes can't believe that there's not a scratch even a scratch to him after all that magic and mana she poured out.

However, Ishid was also a monster when it comes to using magic. 

And Evelyn knew that Ishid, or should she say, the man who killed her mother wouldn't be easily killed, after all Ishid even manipulated his death just so he could get revenge.

That kind of man would not back down and would have a card up his sleeve Evelyn knew that!

And as the former Crown Prince of the Levingstone, Cesar, who was given a nickname as a "Genius" because of his excellence in mana manipulation would know how to defend himself.

Even so, Evelyn felt frustrated. After all that many mid-tier spells and some high spells that she invoked, it did nothing to him. 

It was like Ishid was just humoring her in this fight.

'But not yet. I still could keep going!' Evelyn convinced herself.

With that in mind, Evelyn put both her hands up and gathered the surrounding mana that she could have- up in the air and summoned a big magic circle.

"Oh there's still more?" Ishid said as if taunting her. However, he knew from the way it feels that it has more magic than the combined attacks that she made earlier.

Meanwhile, Evelyn could not help but bite her lower lip as the pressure of the surrounding air was heavy because of the huge ball of mana that was gathering at the central plaza.

But what could she do? When all she could think of was getting all out because the opponent is aggressive and psychopath. In addition, Evelyn knew that the bastard had more mana than her now.

"Don't underestimate me, you piece of trash! Aaahhhh!"

Her scream combined with the crackling sound in the air.

It was the time for Ishid to get worried about himself. And as if an evidence, a drop of sweat trickled down on his face.

And Evelyn who glanced at him with her hawk eyes, smiled.

It was time to kick some smug face.
