Chapter 269 Eternity
Eva's personality has changed dramatically. She has changed from a shy and sweet girl to a brash and rude one with a brutal aura.
Wain and Maria were surprised by such a drastic change in character and behavior. They were wary as they realized that it was in this state that Eva could show her full power.
"Are you silent? All right then, I'll start with you, pretty boy!" Eva said, looking at Wain, licking her lips.
Whoooooosh.
She waved her hand, and the bloody gray energy around her turned into red ash, which came down on Wain in a wave.
"Huh, so you're either a quiet, quiet mouse or a crazy psychopath." Wain smiled and bounced aside.
A wave of ash came crashing down beside him, but it continued to haunt him. Eva also created a few more waves.
'She's not sparing energy at all... Although, wait, she's doing it right. If we are immortal, then why should we hold back?' Wain thought, and a white mask appeared in his hand.
A red, noble coat replaced a lot of energy accumulated around him and his cloak. Wain used the fourth form, the Black Sun Aristocrat.
Wain realized that now he could not worry about conserving energy. He could do whatever he wanted and use a variety of techniques.
The red ash waves were about to overwhelm Wain, but suddenly a massive black sphere appeared in front of them. It exploded and destroyed the waves and tossed Maria and Eva aside.
However, Eva reacted quickly and created walls of ash behind her. She bounced off it and attacked Wain.
"Is that all you can do? Pathetic tricks! You'd better get on your knees and beg my forgiveness!"
"Huh, I see you have certain tendencies. Even though you're a crazy bitch now, I like that!" Wain exclaimed and laughingly created ten huge spheres around Eva.
Each one was as strong as the one before it. With this attack, Wain could kill several hundred First Chronicle creatures or destroy an entire village without leaving a trace of it.
The spheres exploded simultaneously and tore Eva apart, but she didn't scream or try to fight back. The last thing Wain saw was Eva's sly smirk. There was no trace of her, just a few drops of blood.
However, even a single molecule was enough to make a full recovery for an immortal, so out of the bloodstains came the bloody threads that resurrected Eva. She was stitched together like a doll.
Eva clenched her hand into a fist a few times and looked at Wain, and said, "That was good, pain is such a nice burning feeling, but both of we must play this game."
Her eyes sparkled, and the ground trembled. From beneath it appeared many dried tree branches that looked like stakes. They headed toward Wain. Eva also created two massive waves of ash that were to engulf Wain.
Wain bounced to the side and created several more spheres. His energy was slowly running out, but it didn't bother him. He could easily regenerate his supply completely.
Whooooooosh.
Bloody twigs pierced through the waves of black flames, piercing Wain in many places. He didn't fight back and let Eva kill him.
"Have you decided to give up?" Eva said with a frown.
"Are you stupid? How can I give up when I finally have unlimited possibilities! This place is more like heaven than a cage!" Wain exclaimed and used his remaining energy to create a giant sphere.
It was so large that it even overshadowed the dim, bloody sun like a black hole.
"Great, looks like I won't get bored in this endless hell for sure." Eva smiled and finished off Wain with a wave of her hand. Bloody branches pierced his head.
Then the orb exploded. Eva didn't try to defend herself and let the flames consume her. Maria, on the other hand, did not understand what was happening.
For the last minute, she stood still and didn't know what to do. Maria thought that here she would fight Wain, and they would settle their conflict once and for all, and she would avenge her family.
She didn't just hate Wain because he started the apocalypse and caused the destruction of millions of people. The basis of her revenge came from personal reasons. Her parents were ordinary people and lived near the city.
With no protection or help, they could do nothing in such an area. Monsters came to their house and killed them. The same should have happened to Maria, but she happened to find herself in a strange place where she lived out her last moments.
When the world chose her, it was the beginning of her victorious journey that brought her here. She was to embody the light and lead others. Maria wanted to rid herself of the darkness, of Wain.
However, her expectations did not match reality. Instead of a struggle of light against darkness, Maria found herself on the sidelines. The light was at a loss to watch the darkness 'play' with the madness that Eva represented.
The madness was neither light nor darkness. It was an independent third party. Of course, madness was most often equated as something bad and abnormal, but it was not.
Many acts of genius had a grain of madness in them, but usually, no one pays attention to it. After all, sometimes it is very easy to confuse what is madness and what is genius.
Maria just defended herself from the shock waves and watched as Wain and Eva killed each other over and over. They enjoyed this battle, as they could let their feelings and power run wild.
Now they no longer needed to hold back, they combined attacks and enjoyed the limitless power and pain.
As the storm between darkness and madness grew and gradually increased, the light slowly lost its brightness. Maria was at a loss; she could not kill Wain and be afraid to engage in battle.
She realized that she was immortal like them, but the pain remained. When she saw the black flames burn Eva to the ground and she smiled, Maria shuddered, and goosebumps ran down her body.
She was not used to pain. Before, she had solved all problems by force without serious injury. Monsters couldn't hurt her, and neither could humans. She had a few defensive skills, but what good would that do if she was immortal?
'No, I can't give up now. This ordeal can be passed, and even if we are immortal, perhaps we have some limitations or some way to die truly. I must fight along with them.' Maria thought and took a deep breath.
Her eyes flashed, and a shining sword appeared in her hand. An invisible barrier covered her body, and she rushed into battle.
"Oops, looks like our shy girl decided to join us." Eva said, licking her lips.
"I thought she was going to keep looking like that." Wain said, picking his head up off the ground.
"You're crazy!" Maria exclaimed and attacked Eva.
Her shining sword headed toward the girl.
"You may be right, but it's a lot better than being such a gutless and weak puppet like you." Eva said coldly and ran up to Maria.
The shining sword cut off Eva's arm, but she didn't stop. On the contrary, Eva smiled broadly, and a fire burned in her eyes.
'What? She didn't stop?' Maria muttered to herself.
"Come here bitch. You've been standing on the sidelines too long. You're even joining our feast of pain and pleasure!" Eva shouted and came close to Maria and pressed her tightly against her.
It looked as if Eva had hugged her from the outside, but terrible consequences followed such an innocuous act.
Whooooosh.
Eva opened her mouth wide and bit into Maria's throat like a wild beast. The protective barrier didn't stop her, and a second later, Eva's teeth sank into Maria's flesh.
"AAAAGH!" Maria screamed in pain, but Eva had no intention of stopping. Her eyes sparkled, and several stakes of bloody ash pierced them.
"AHAHAHAHA, well, did you like it?"
"You monster...!" Maria said with difficulty and wanted to attack back, but suddenly the ground shook.
Eva turned around and saw Wain dressed in a gray robe with a tight bandage on his head.
"Girls, how about a mass suicide?" He waved his hand, and a giant magical circle appeared above them all.
"Ah, that's pretty romantic." Eva uttered.
