I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 220: AWAKENED BLOOD: PART 1

Ishid was smiling too widely as he watched the future that he's been hoping for unfold in front of his eyes.

"Ha-haha! This is it! A little bit more and I can achieve my goal!"

Looking at Evelyn whose writhing in pain as her demonic energy awakens, Ishid decided to also prepare the spell that would disrupt Evelyn's mama and would kill her as a backlash.

Mana also gathered around him. Ishid already doesn't care about his surroundings. He didn't even see that Duke Keene had seen him laughing while Allan was in his arms.

"... *Hba@jdbeial..."

Ishid mumbles incomprehensible words. Multiple dark magic circles appeared at his back. And all of them have a large amount of mana as their supply.

"... I can't let you do that!"

A sword made out of thunderbolt appeared out of nowhere and struck one of the magic circles that appeared at the back of Ishid.

Shocked. Ishid turned his head where amongst the noise, the sound of heavy steps against the cement were heard.

"... You still didn't change, Your Highness or should I say Ishid?"

A person with clean cut black hair and wearing a black uniform appeared with a grin.

"Hah! I wonder who is the bastard that intercepts my spells. It appeared to be you... Sheik!"

"You're still wearing a different face? Why not show your new face? You know... I don't want to beat up the face of my pupil."

Sheik was appalled when he saw that the crazy bastard was wearing his pupil's face, Gab. And showing a sinister smile.

"So, you're done being a guard dog of the Palace? That's sad... I was looking forward to seeing you get killed by the powers that came from your student."

Sheik just stared at him. His slit black eyes made him look more fierce.

"But you're right... I'm also getting tired of this appearance." Ishid said after he looked towards Evelyn who was still up in the air.

He smirked and a black smoke enveloped Ishid as his disguise wore off.

"Much better..." Ishid said as if he's relief.

His crimson hair and eyes that were almost close to black made Sheik grin.

"So... You became undead and you sold your soul to the devil."

Ishid's eyes that blankly stare at Sheik became like a halfmoon.

"You should just quietly watch just like what you did before."

"That's also what I was supposed to do if you stayed quiet like a rat"

"Well, I guess that's out of the option now."

Sheik saw that Ishid's hands were getting ready to fire one of the spells that he casted in his magic circles.

"Aaaahh!"

Both of them looked up and saw that Evelyn was screaming in pain as her whole body enveloped in black writings that almost occupied her whole body.

"Are you just going to stand there and wait for the Lady to awaken and forget everything?"

Ishid said as he looked at Sheik who seemed to be getting frustrated at the minutes that passed by when the writings in Evelyn's body were covering her slowly.

"Tsk!"

Sheik clicked his tongue. He was waiting for someone to appear. Someone that he puts his faith in.

But before Sheik could wait any longer, he felt immense mana that he didn't have time to react.

Boom!

However, the black magic that fired away to Evelyn was shielded by a barrier that seems to be a self defense while Evelyn was doing an awakening.

"Once the moon bleeds, darkness will swallow it whole. A child whose blood is awakened shall change the destiny to destruction or to prosperity of humanity."

Sheil heard Ishid tell the words that he also heard a long time ago.

"... that child has always been special ever since she was born. That was why her stupid mother did eveyrthing to sealed her powers away."

He scoffs when Ishid remembers the foolish woman who sacrificed everything for the sake of her child and ended up becoming isolated from the rest of her family.

"It's funny how Monica could do such a foolish act when the result will always be the same"

***

Evelyn felt every bit of her body being torn as a different kind of mana was absorbed by her body.

Her consciousness was fading as the longer the pain she felt in her body. There was also the feeling on her skin like it was scratched by some sharp claws.

When Evelyn looked at it, she saw black writings climbing on her skin.

"Aaaahhh!"

She screamed her lungs out. Evelyn doesn't know how many times she's been screaming that she felt her throat choking up in blood.

'You just need to surrender your body to me'

There was also a voice that was ringing in her head since she lost it.

'It hurts, right? You should just sleep and let me handle the rest!'

'Wh-who are you?'

Evelyn put all her strength to ask the voice she was hearing in her consciousness.That itself was giving her a huge toll on her body.

Like someone was hugging her from behind, the voice answered her with the voice that Evelyn was familiar with.

'Me? I'm you"

'Me?'

'Yes, Eve~. Now Just leave everything to me and everything will be fine. I'll get revenge for our brother, Allan and the people who bullied us.'

'That's right revenge. I need to get revenge.'

'That's right! We should make those people pay for the wrong things that they've done to us to you!'

As if the words that Evelyn was listening to are enchanted, her mind was actually wandering the things that her other self said.

Figuring it out and thinking deeply if what the other girl said was the right thing to do, she opened her mouth.

"I'm tired do whatever you want!"

Evelyn's other half that was awakened by her demon blood, smiled, as she heard the words that she was waiting for.

As Evelyn's consciousness faded, the words that stuck to her came from the "her" that was always inside her.

"You should sleep. I'll take care of everything."

***

Cabel arrived however the fear that he was hoping not to happen was now in front of his eyes.

Evelyn descended and the aura around her was different from the way she used to. She snapped her fingers and her tattered clothes changed to a different theme. A dark clothes that almost feels like she was at somebody's funeral.

"Hmm I should heal myself first."

The scratch and slashed in her body magically disappeared after she touched it.

"Eve"

Cabel could only observe the things that she was doing. His feet were almost frozen still on the spot and his eyes were glued to everything that Evelyn does like he was entranced by her change.

He watched as the sunset eyes of Evelyn became crimson and the pupil was slit like a snake. The hair became all dark like she represented the abyss and her whole body has black symbols that are circling around her body like a tattoo.

"Ah! Finally, I got to free myself."

Cabel heard the sweet voice of Evelyn but there was something off with it. It's like the person talking was not Evelyn that was headstrong and lovely.

The woman in front of her looked like a merciless person with a cunning personality and cruel way of doing things.

"Hmm.. let's see. I have a few faces in mind that my lovely Evelyn wants to get punished."

Her eyes wandered and stopped at the crimson hair that was almost close to black that was also looking at her direction.

"Found you!"

Step step step!

The awakened Evelyn walked across the plaza and towards the place that Ishid was standing with someone.

However, the awakened Evelyn stopped as someone just snatched her hand.

"Evelyn!"

She tilted her head and looked at the man who called her name so passionately.

And as if she just remembered who it was, Evelyn smiled like a seductress.

"Cabel~"

The sweet lingering voice that rings inside Cabel's ears felt like a sweet poison that he wanted to become imprisoned to. It was dangerous yet sweet.

Evelyn blink her butterfly lashes. Every move that she made made Cabel blankly stare at her. 

She smiled. Her demonic aura made people entrance by her. And the awakened Evelyn could see that it was effective as she saw the face of the man who seems to have special feelings for her.

"Are you here because you're worried about Eve~?"

When Cabel heard the way she asked, the hand that was holding her fell to his side.

"You're not her who are you?!"

She laughed at how Cabel could quickly catch up on these things especially that her face was still the same.

"How did you know?"

The confirmation brought devastation to Cabel.

"What happened to Evelyn?! Who are you?! What did you do to her?!"

Her benign smile made Cabel doubt if she was really a different person. But the moment that she blinked and the eyes that were different from the rest of the human pupils, he became aware that she was really not the Evelyn that she knew.

Swish!

Boom!

The awakened Evelyn extended her hand to receive the attack of Ishid. When the smoke clears out she sees a man lying beside the fountain that seems to have been flown away from an attack.

"You killed him?" Evelyn asked Ishid who's been looking at her with hatred and frustration.

"What do you think you're doing?" Evelyn asked as she turned her head towards the hand that snatched her wrist.

It was Cabel again.

"Don't Evelyn"

Evelyn ignored his plea and put a small mana in her palm that made Cabel flown away as he repelled him.

"I'll deal with you later. I just need to talk with this person."

The awakened Evelyn began again to move and ignore the people that called her name.

Her spirits started to arrive one by one and watched the different Evelyn smile evilly as she approached Ishid.

"Shall we play a bit?"

Ishid shivers as he hears the cold voice of the awakened Evelyn.
