Chapter 56 - The Story Of The Foolish Scientist Part 6 (Final) (1/2)

Age 1990

”So then it wasn't your fault!” Maudite stated.

”You're wrong...” Father Darvin said somberly. ”It was completely my fault... I caused Yusei to get infected... I am the one who pushed him down after all...”

”But you had no way of knowing!”

”That doesn't matter...” Father Darvin said shaking his head. ”The end results are the same. I killed my son, and created a monster, in his image... That monster was created by me. I killed your father. I murdered my son.”

Maudite stared at the man who had caused her pain her entire life. He looked... Sad? Depressed. Broken... It's funny... If he wasn't xi completely wasted he probably wouldn't even be telling her any of this. Yet here he stood. Drunk beyond belief and laying out his sins to the girl he claimed was a witch. The girl whose life he had tried to ruin. His granddaughter... Someone that he had a duty to protect, but instead hurt. And yet at that moment, Maudite found herself filling pitty...

Never in a million years had she even considered the fact she could feel such an emotion.

”It's okay... You did your best...” She said slowly.

'You're too soft...' A voice hissed out.

Maudite ignored it as she placed a hand over her grandfathers. ”What happened next...”

Father Darvin took a deep breath as he shook his head. Then once he was ready he spoke. He said only a single word but it seemed to carry so much power and explain everything. ”Hell...”

Age 1978

Maudite slid back gasping slightly. The Earl hadn't even laid a finger on her yet, but despite that fact, she was absolutely exhausted... She found her self barely able to muster up her Attribute, and her whole body felt like jelly. It was a miracle she could even stand from the condition she was in.

Off to the side the Enforcer who wasn't dead still fought, blasting the Bestia Macht with his invisible fire. It didn't really seem to do anything though as the Earl simply shrugged the attack off.

The Father of the village raised both his hands up as a ball of blue energy suddenly formed, firing out as a massive energy-based attack. The ball slammed into the monster pushing it back but only served in royally pissing off the creature. The Father fell to his knees letting out a cough as he grabbed his chest.

Their odds were really not that great...

Maudite let out a groan of pain as she placed a hand over her stomach. Her entire body wouldn't stop aching and unlike her fiance, her Attribute lacked the ability to heal... This meant she was stuck how she was... Bad since the Earl really seemed focused on her now...

The Earl let out another growl as it charged forward. Maudite watched it run towards her but she was unable to move. It was a miracle her body lasted this long with the condition it was in.

The Earl spun its body as it smashed its tail straight into the side of the girl so hard it lifted her up off of the ground and sent her flying back a few feet away!

”Lady Maudite!” The Enforcer shouted.

Maudite let out a yell of pain as the monster hovered over her. It let out a growl as it raised its leg up. Then in a flash, the monsters head rolled off...

There was a moment of thick silence as everyone stood frozen in shock as the monster simply fell over dead...

A bit anticlimactic...

”Yusei...” Maudite said slowly in shock as she stared at the man she had come to know and love. His back was facing her as he stood on the ground staring at the body of the Earl he had just killed. His right arm was coated in its blood as he had used it to literally rip off the monsters head in a single slash... After a few seconds, he turned around slowly, as he faced the woman that he loved. Maudite let out a horrific gasp when she saw him. ”No...”
