Chapter 244 - The Ark Of Mavislins Corruption (2/2)

”Who are you? And besides, she hurt our Slayer. And she nearly killed me.”

”But she didn't mean to! Mama is scared now. Look, she is crying.”

Mavislin's eyes widened to see Ysabeau face the attack straight on. But she continued with the attack. Ysabeau had to summon her Ancient Relic, Rukh, to mitigate the force of the attack. Even with two powerful beings, the damage was still major.

”She mocked us. Said we were weak.”

”We are! But now we showed her we are strong! So, please don't hurt Mama anymore!”

”It's not enough. We aren't strong enough. Couldn't protect Minwoo, couldn't protect Ashley, couldn't protect Yan...”

”But Mama didn't kill them! Mama is not the enemy! She only wanted to test us, to know that her child is strong! We no need to kill her!”

”Who are you?” asked Mavislin once more, trying to search the darkness.

Just then, Benjamin's arms emerged from Mavislin's back and embraced her. Encouraging her to sink into this pit of despair, Benjamin smiled as his plan was working. The small voice she had heard earlier vanished, leaving her alone with her twin.

”Don't worry, you will be strong now.”

Mavislin continued dishing out attacks, using a warped form of Lord Atlantia. Ysabeau, with one wing, continued fighting as well. Both girls were dashing about, with Mavislin's Aura increasing alongside Ysabeau's fatigue. As the two clashed, it was finally time for Ysabeau to end this training.

”Mavislin, that's enough! You've done enough to prove me wrong!” yelled Ysabeau, with her voice cracking.

She prayed that her baby was still sound in her mind. That she had not been fully consumed yet. But Mavislin pressing onto Ysabeau's bow meant those words were not reaching her.

”Please don't despair... You don't need to be in that darkness to be powerful...” murmured Ysabeau as she tried another time.

But the words to wake her would be from the mouth of the Headmaster. His voice boomed throughout the area, scaring the Old Chapel as well.

”Dinner is ready, playtime is over!”
