Chapter 1064 - Punishment (2/2)

“This is your final punishment, Ashvril. You should know what it is.”

“No…! You can’t! You can’t do that!”

Upon hearing Angelina’s words, Ashvril seemed to recall something. All of a sudden, she struggled frantically, attempting to break free from the large, blood-colored flower that was restricting her movements. But after the continuous attacks from Angelina, Canary, and Mini Bubble Gum before, the powerless Ashvril could no longer make any threatening moves. It was apparent that Angelina couldn’t be bothered with her meaningless actions. She stretched out her arm and snapped her fingers.

Shing!

The razor-sharp blades of the flower wrapping around Ashvril punctured into her. After a few moments, the flower bloomed and opened up, revealing Ashvril’s determined fate. Her skin was forcefully stripped off her body like banana peels. The beautiful, alluring body was turned into a nightmarish human specimen in the blink of an eye, exposing the bloody, revolting flesh under the fair, smooth skin. Mini Bubble Gum shrieked in exhilaration as though it were the climax of the movie, while Canary let out a rare sigh and shook her head.

Ashvril’s screams were hysterical, but Angelina had no intention of stopping. The latter squinted in satisfaction at the pitiful plight of the former, her eyes glinting in indescribable contentment and excitement. Shortly after, she began the final step.

“This is the final punishment for resisting the royals: you shall be punctured to death by blades and turned to ashes by the rising sun!”

“————!”

Ashvril’s screams turned into ear-piercing groans like the howls of despair from a lonely wolf at the edge of a cliff. The surrounding trees also shook in her screams. Angelina was completely unmoved. She raised her arms and lifted her head to gaze at the sky. At this moment, dawn was almost here and the night sky would soon make way for the sun from the other side of the horizon.

At this moment, an extremely sharp column like a ‘stake’ burst out from the ground, piercing from between Ashvril’s legs and into her body, emerging from the top of her skull. Then, the bloodied ‘stake’ grew taller along with Ashvril’s body and stopped after several meters in midair. At this moment, the first ray of golden sunlight from the horizon emerged, illuminating the world around them, as well as the appalling body of Ashvril.

“Ahhh!”

Along with the blood-curdling screams, Ashvril’s body started burning from the outside. Shortly after, the flames consumed her entirety. She shuddered meaninglessly as the ‘stake’ that had punctured her body executed its master’s command. No matter how hard Ashvril grappled, the stake wouldn’t budge at all. Then, Ashvril’s body started changing. Her limbs became pitch-black like scorched firewood, before slowly dissipating and turning into black dust drifting into the air. Her screams turned softer and weaker. Her limbs finally disappeared. Her body and skull became as black as coke. But to Angelina, this wasn’t the end. She extended her right arm and pointed straight at Ashvril’s remains. Her eyes glinted and the bloodied sickle that vanished earlier once again appeared in her hand.

“Resonance of the soul! The soul that betrayed the royals will forever not rest! She will suffer unimaginable pain in eternal purgatory!”

“———!”

Along with Angelina’s actions, a fuzzy, shadow-like soul was extracted from the scorched body by an unknown force, trembling violently as though resisting. However, Angelina flourished the sickle without hesitation and the soul screeched, before being absorbed into the sickle entirely. As the soul vanished, the remains under the daylight shattered and disappeared completely.

Angelina lowered her head and stared at the sickle in her hand where there was an indistinct, mourning face flickering from time to time, eventually vanishing. Angelina let out a snort, before turning her hand around and putting the sickle away.

At this moment, the bright radiance of the sun had infiltrated the night sky completely.

Night was over and it was the start of a new day.
