Chapter 200: Two Stars to Seven Stars (8)

Chi-Woo’s relief that everything was finally over lasted for but a brief moment He was about to close his eyes in Evelyn’s are apprehension crept up to him He had seen Evelyn’s appearance when she was a human several times before At the time, she had e into an actual living person At the end of the day, her imitation was all artificial no matter how perfect it was However, it was different this time The texture of her skin and silky hair were not artificial; they were human, real But…

ly for a living person It felt as if a soul had been forced into a well-preserved body and reanishi+</e between the boundary of the dead and the living since he was born, was certain of this The present Evelyn was an unnatural existence

Chi-Woo carefully said, “Lady Witch, your body is too cold”

Evelyn looked downcast, and she didn’t reply

“Lady Witch?”

“…I” Evelyn smacked her lips a few times and finally spoke softly, “I was not actually a witch No, I used to not be one”

Chi-Woo blinked

“I feel so regretful” She exhaled a long breath “If I had known a little earlier…” Her voice was full of re on the ceiling Then Chi-Woo felt his back gently touch the floor As soon as she put Chi-Woo down, Evelyn’s ar a hard tiht as she slowly lost control of her body—like a person slowly dying It was only then that Chi-Woo saw a faint air current flowing out of Evelyn’s body She looked extre to crumble and disappear at any moment

“I’m sorry” Evelyn’s head tilted softly “I tried to resist until the end, but…there’s nothing I can do” A ed at her lips “You came all the way here for me… I’, but couldn’t; he couldn’t process this unexpected turn of events At thatfrom behind him

“Ahehehehe…” It was an unpleasant sound that heralded death “You can’t…You can’t…”

It was Zepar Chi-Woo rose with difficulty and turned around, enduring the pain rippling throughout his body Fortunately, Zepar wasn’t revived, and none of his worries ca; only traces of his existence lingered, and he was ness

Zepar said, “Do you kno much effort…and heart and soul I put into this…heheheheh…!”

Chi-Woo frowned; even Zepar’s dying words annoyed hireatly “What do you mean?”

“I’m the one who revived her…and tethered her to me…”

“Tethered?”

“Yeah…a forced contract…so that she would only exist for h Chi-Woo couldn’t hear hirasp what Zepar was saying—that bastard did some kind of dirty work to chain Evelyn to himself Chi-Woo didn’t knohat it was exactly, but he needed to first erase Zepar from existence

“Hah…yeah…kill me…”

But Chi-Woo couldn’t help but stop

“Since it turned out like this…it won’t be bad to die with her…”

“What?”

“Fool… Can’t you guess by seeing her condition…?” Then Zepar began giggling “If I disappear…she disappears too… Not only her body…but also her neok…and soul…”

Chi-Woo blanched; he knew all too hat thatin any way in the future

When Chi-Woo faltered, Zepar abruptly stopped laughing He asked, “…You want to save her?” His voice suddenly became softer “Then…save me…”

“…”

“It’s really simple…if I live…she’ll also live…” It was the devil’s teh if I maintain ood offering nearby…”

Chi-Woo’s facial ed to turn around

“No” Evelyn firmly shook her head “Don’t do it”

“Heh… Do what you want… She’s ive her up…! Hahahahha…!” It really see as he let out a final burst of laughter At the sa on, collapsed onto the altar The hazy current flowing from her body also became darker

Chi-Woo’s face looked blank Suddenly, his legs lost all strength and gave out again “L-lady Witch” He grabbed onto the altar and barely ed to call out to her

“I told you I’reat strain

“Then what shall I call…no, is there any other way? To release you from the connection!”

Evelyn shook her head while laying down “The devil’s contract… It’s not that easy…” Fro about her fell under the devil’s control Moreover, Zepar had used his power to shackle her, so it ithout saying how difficult it would be to free her

Evelyn continued, “And even if you nullify the contract…nothing will change…” Evelyn’s resurrection hadn’t occurred through a ritual by the church offering an exorbitant amount of divinity and a request for the mediation of providence It was done by the devil’s power to distort and twist providence
