The fight between Gracie and Ace's group was so fierce. Even though she had broken through to the Grandmaster rank, she did not have the upper hand.

Ace, Layla, Scarlett, and Zaria used their ranged skill to attack Gracie because they could not get close to her.

Of course, Ace also used his Ice Clone magic because it could support him in the fight.

"Great Lightning Dragon." Ace used his strongest magic to attack Gracie.

Back clouds suddenly gathered above them, and a giant lightning dragon came out of it shortly after that, flying at Gracie at an incredible speed.

Even though Ace's magic was so powerful, Gracie did not panic.

She only stared at the giant lightning dragon before finally using her Mana Shield magic to protect herself.

She had broken through to the Grandmaster rank, so she believed she could block his attack.

However, she underestimated Ace's magic.

Even though Ace was only at Master rank, but Great Lightning Dragon magic was Tier 5 magic.

This was the reason why her Mana Shield magic broke into pieces when the giant lightning dragon came into contact with it.

"Uakkk…" blood splashed out of her mouth.

"Deadly Shot."

"Fell Crescent."

"Slashing Strike."

When Layla, Scarlett, and Zaria noticed the opportunity to kill Gracie had arisen, they instantly used their powerful skills.

"Mana Shie-" before Gracie could use her Mana Shield magic, one of Ace's clones used Ice Chain magic, causing her to be unable to complete her magic spell.

She was unprotected, so their attacks landed on her body successfully.

"Agghh…" A soul-piercing howl of pain reverberated in the entire area.

Gracie fell to the ground when their attacks hit her body.

"Cough…" when she tried to stand up, she coughed up blood.

The poison in her body began eating her again.

Previously, she could suppress the poison using demonic energy, but it was a different story now.

She was heavily injured now, so she could not keep suppressing the poison.

*Crack…Crack…Crack…Crunch…

Crack lines appeared on the black sphere before finally the black ball shattered into pieces.

Previously, Ace's Great Lightning Dragon magic had damaged the black sphere, so it instantly shattered into pieces when Layla and the others used their powerful attacks.

"No! I can't die! I can't die!" demonic energy burst out of her body again, but she fell to the ground shortly after that. "Cough…Cough…"

Gracie kept coughing up blood because the poison was eating her body from inside.

Her body was frail, and blood kept coming out of her wounds.

"Haha." She laughed out of depression when she could not stand up anymore. "Cough…Cough…Cough…"

Ace and the others did not attack her again because they knew Gracie could not fight anymore.

They walked closer to her before finally staring at her pitiful condition.

"I lost. I lost. Haha." Of course, she did not want to die, but she believed Ace and the others would not let her live.

And they also knew that she had learned dark magic. Even if they did not kill her, the other awakeners would hunt her down.

There was no longer any place for her on the Vlizica continent. Wherever she went, someone would try to kill her.

At this moment, Eva and the other caretakers walked closer to Gracie.

Gracie was heavily injured, and it was only a matter of time before she died, so they were not afraid of her.

Eva and the others stopped their footsteps when they were in front of her. Even though her condition was so pitiful, none of them showed any pity for Gracie.

Their hatred for her was already too deep. Gracie often beat them up in the last two years, so their concern for Gracie had died. fre(e)webnovel

When Gracie saw Eva and the others, she immediately uttered, "Why don't you laugh? Isn't this what you want to see? Come on, laugh. Laugh at me!"

Eva and the others did not laugh and kept staring at her.

Gracie then shifted her gaze to Eva. "Eva, don't you really hate me? Isn't this a good opportunity to take revenge on me? Why don't you kill me now?"

"I do hate you, but I won't kill you." Previously, Eva wanted to kill Gracie, but she changed her mind when she saw her condition.

She knew that Gracie would die soon, so she did not want to dirty her hands.

No!

Actually, she was afraid that she would remember it forever if she killed Gracie, so she changed her mind.

"Haha." Gracie laughed loudly. "Why? Are you pitying me now? Have you forgotten that I imprisoned you in the dungeon for two years?"

Eva ignored Gracie's questions. "Gracie, why did you do this? You were sent by Goddess Teressa Temple to protect us, so why did you do cruel things to us? You do realize that your actions could make Goddess Teressa angry, right?"

"Haha." Like before, Gracie laughed again before finally coughing up blood.

As Gracie was laughing loudly, something unexpected happened.

The sound of the bell reverberated in the entire arena.

Ace and the others were surprised by the sound of a bell.

But what surprised them most was that a huge golden door suddenly appeared in mid-air.

The golden door was emitting a holy aura and standing above white clouds as if it was a door leading to heaven.

As Ace and the others were looking at the golden door, a voice rang out from the opposite side of the door.

"Gracie, you let me down." the voice that came out of the door was so pleasant and angelic.

Ace and the others felt calm after hearing the voice.

At this moment, their instincts told them that the voice did not belong to a human but to an angel or a goddess.

And their instincts were right because that voice belonged to Goddess Teressa.

Because Eva wanted to know whether her instinct was right or not, she inquired, "Goddess Teressa, is that you?"

"Yes. It's me." Goddess Teressa responded.

Eva and the other caretakers instantly knelt before the golden door. They were the followers of Goddess Teressa, so they knelt instantly.

Unlike Eva, Ace did not kneel and kept standing.

'So, her voice is like this, huh?'

All this time, he could not hear her angelic voice because they communicated through his system.

He just did not expect to hear her voice after fighting Gracie.

'It's a pity that I can't see her appearance.'

He really wanted to see goddess Teressa's true appearance.

"Gracie, you were a kind and pure woman in the past. That was why I ordered the priestess to make you a guardian in the Peace Blossom Orphanage. I did not expect you to become like this." Goddess Teressa sighed after saying that. "You really let me down, Gracie."

"Goddess Teressa, you did not appear when I prayed to you every day." Gracie spoke, "Now that I'm about to die, you suddenly appeared before me. Are you mocking me?"

"I'm not mocking you." Goddess Teressa sighed again. "Gracie, did you know that you were one of my favorite followers before?"

"One of your favorite followers? Haha…Cough…Cough…" Gracie coughed up blood when she laughed. "If I was once your favorite follower, why don't you answer my prayer? Why did you send me to this place?"

"I heard your prayer." Goddess Teressa responded, "Previously, I wanted to give you a high position in one of my temples. But that job is so difficult and need a lot of patience. I know you are not ready for that job, so I decided to train your mental first."

"Don't lie to me!" of course, Gracie did not believe it.

"I'm not lying to you. I planned to give that position to you after letting you become a guardian for ten years." Goddess Teressa responded, "But once you arrived at this orphanage, you walked the wrong path."

She then continued, "I gave you the opportunity to return to the right path for two years, but instead of returning to the right path, you walked the wrong path deeper and deeper."

"So, you heard my prayer and was about to grant my wish?" Gracie uttered.

"That's right." Goddess Teressa responded.

"So, I was close to my dream before." Tears suddenly filled Gracie's eyes.

She was sad and regretted her actions.

All this time, she thought goddess Teressa abandoned her, but she was wrong. freewe bnovel.com

She was utterly wrong because goddess Teressa never abandoned her. Not only that, but goddess Teressa also heard her prayer and was about to grant her wish.

However, she ruined everything.

She destroyed her own dream.

She destroyed everything with her hands.

Everything would have been fine if she had stayed on the right path.

"I was wrong all this time." Gracie suddenly wished she could turn back time.

If she had known everything was just a test from goddess Teressa, she wouldn't have taken the wrong path.

She wanted to ask for forgiveness, but she did not dare to say it. All this time, she often beat up the orphans and caretakers.

She beat them up whenever she was annoyed or whenever she thought that goddess Teressa had abandoned her.

Not only did she do many cruel things, but she also used the orphans to get money.

She believed goddess Teressa would not forgive her. This was the reason why she could only cry in regret.

At this moment, memories of her doing bad things to the orphans and caretakers came to her mind.

She became even sadder, and tears kept rolling down her cheeks.

'What have I done?'

She looked at the golden door in mid-air.

'Goddess Teressa, I'm sorry.'

She then looked at Eva and the other caretakers.

'Everyone, I'm sorry.'

Shortly after that, Gracie stopped breathing forever.
