Leislet walked out of the rubble caused by her hard impact. She didn't get a heavy injury because of it but there were still some scratches on her perfect body that stopped bleeding in less than a second.
Her eyes didn't seem agitated at all even though she was clearly in a disadvantageous situation that could be her end at any time.
However, she had finally found a way to counterattack this enemy. She was basically in his domain so the best thing to do is to make him struggle in this place so that they genuinely become on equal footing.
The Nightingale member gritted his teeth, seeing her like that, he knew that something was different. She had already hit him because of a small mistake he made during the fight.
'Did she discover something?' They tried to read her mind with a strong glare that could make anyone shudder in fear and back away.
As they were trying to figure out the reason for this inexplicable uneasiness, Leislet suddenly dashed towards them like a wind storm.
Her speed was fast but it didn't take the enemy by surprise as they were already aware of her physical capabilities.
So, they did what they had been doing since the fight started and that is to try and use the illusion realm they created to vanish and sneak attack.
But, before they could even do anything. A blinding light attacked their pupils and rendered them vulnerable.
*Swish*
The moment they regained their ability to see to some extent, a sharp pain coming from the stomach made them blurt out a shrill of pain.
The attack sent them flying and hit another wall, making the pain even more intense than before.
"You know…" Leislet spoke to the enemy as she approached them slowly.
"I have always tolerated your existence in this world. In fact, I found that your goal as much as it was idealistic was actually quite noble. You wanted to stop the rotting powerhouses from becoming even stronger and restore peace to this world and to all weak and vulnerable people."
Then, her calm look turned into a glare that resemble that of a devil as she continued.
"However, the moment you attacked this place and killed innocent contestants and even harmed Acht. You all had already put yourself on my blacklist. I swear on the name of my loved ones, if Acht doesn't wake up or suffer any kind of setback after he wakes up, I will make sure that you will go through the seven hells and back for all eternity."
Her threatening words along with her explosive aura were more than enough to scare any individual, however, her words made the enemy laugh.
Instead of feeling threatened, they just laughed loudly as if this was the funniest joke they ever heard.
Leislet watched this and felt her anger rise to the roof. So, she used her light element again with even more intensity and then approached them and grabbed their head.
Then, with a full body motion, she threw them like a baseball into a nearby car.
She didn't stop there as she followed them immediately and sent a kick to their stomach followed by a punch to the face.
"Haaaaahhhh!!!" She shouted as she punched them again and again and again without stopping.
For a good minute, the only sound that could be heard there was the sound of punches getting thrown continuously. She felt that her frustration over the fact that her beloved had been rendered into that state could not disappear until she beat the shit out of every one of them.
"You fuckers!"
*Punch*
"Did all of that!"
*Punch*
"Acht had to suffer!"
*Punch*
"I will kill all of you! I will certainly kill all of you!!"
*Punch* *Punch* *Punch*
The mask that was covering the person's face finally cracked and broke down. As she was about to make the last punch and reveal who this person was, a hand grabbed her arm tightly.
She felt alerted at first as she glanced behind her in a hurry.
The moment she saw the one who stopped her, her heart stopped beating for a moment and her mind went blank.
His slightly long beautiful midnight black hair that reaches his neck and his unbelievably white face that resemble that of a snow princess. His eyes which were as black as his hair that had that hint of coldness and elegant calmness in them. Even if she made a mistake in recognizing his face, she wouldn't forget those eyes ever in her life.
With a weird expression of shock coupled with deep happiness that sent a shiver down her spine, she tried to pronounce his name.
"...Acht?"
She tried to sound normal but ended up saying it with a high-pitched tone. She couldn't hold her tears from falling down the moment she was able to fully recognize him.
She then threw away the Nightingale member she was bearing up and jumped on Acht like a tiger, hugging him tightly.
"Thank god…Thank god you…hick…woke up!" She murmured as she cried silently.
She kept crying for almost 30 seconds until she discovered an anomaly. Usually, he would say something along the lines of 'could you stop hugging me?' with an annoyed tone or something like that. But, since the moment he stopped her from punching the enemy, he didn't say or do anything.
So, with a weird look she tried to gaze at his eyes, however, what welcomed her was not a smile or even any kind of delight to see her again. The only thing she felt was a coldness in her stomach.
"..Wha-"
She looked down to check what was going on. Her eyes widened and her mind went into chaos when she saw a deep crimson color seeping out of her stomach like a fountain. The reason for that was a blade that was deeply pushed into her abdomen.
She couldn't even muster the strength to talk as strong nausea attacked her and made her away before falling on Acht who held her body.
She tried to take a deep breath before she could say anything. Then, with a shocked look that was still as chaotic as the emotions she was feeling at the moment, she asked.
"...Why?"
Then, she immediately lost consciousness.
