Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 49: Real and Fake, part 5
Qibtya was still on the balcony of the highest tower of the palace when suddenly he heard footsteps climbing the steps inside the tower – they were already at the top, they were already at the top, in just a dozen seconds it will emerge from the doorway at the end of the balcony.
Venia has still not returned from tackling the threat that will kill the kingdom. The sand waves are no longer visible. But perhaps Venia needs more time to restore the vast desert conditions to the present. So, Venia's not the owner of the footsteps. Moreover, the number is not one pair, but three.
Are they soldiers who want to report? However, what if they were hit men? What Jiren knows keha—
Qibtya did not continue what flashed inside his head. The owner of the three pairs of legs was already on the same floor as him. Qibtya recognized them all: Achilles el Vermillion, Xavier von Hernandez, and Menez Helberth. And most of all, Commander Xavier who led Menez and Achilles—padah Achilles the prime minister. But most questionably, why was Menez beside him?
Menez is loyal to El. He even quit Deus Chaperon after Vermyna took over the New World Order. What's more, Commander Xavier is the man who “he said” killed El. There was no way Menez would accompany El's killer with such a calm expression. If Commander Xavier had really killed El, Menez wouldn't have been next to him.
Observing the commander more closely, Qibtya realized the posture of Commander Xavier with El is relatively the same. If Commander Xavier wears the same clothes and masks that El wears….
“Qibtya Queen Ifrt Balqis—”
“Mr El!” Qibtya's call cut off the commander's speech. “This smell,” muttered that had embraced the young man without permission, “you are not wrong again Mr. El. Right, right, if you're Mr El? You can't hide it anymore; you're caught, Mr El!”
Qibtya had a dark mind to plan the death of Twelfth Commander. He even considered becoming part of the empire on the condition that they had to behead the commander. Although he believes El is not dead, the Twelfth Commander must be turned off. He threatened his future. Who will help him create a successor for his kingdom when El is not around to give him the seeds?
But he doesn't need to think about it anymore. His premonition that El is still alive is absolutely true. His strapping body feels right for him to hug – his body warmth really makes him opium. Qibtya ignored the fact that he had previously had the intention to make this person die. He doesn't think El's real identity is Commander Xavier; his ignorance is forgivable.
“...And I thought to surprise you.”
Qibtya—, who was busy immersing his face while inhaling deeply the body aroma of the commander—, turned his face with a radiant face. “You have no intention of that,”. “You wanted me to know from the beginning, so Menez is next to you. Right, right, Mr El?”
“I cannot deny that your argument is so. And, my name is Xavier von Hernandez – I hope you call me by my real name. But before we talk any further, can you let go of your embrace? A sharp look of Achilles pierced through my head.”
...—Lain Dimension—...
The battle between Fie and Vermyna was still not over. However, this time it was Vermyna who was more domineering. Each attack left a gaping wound on Fie's body, while Fie's attack was mostly avoided. The ability of Nizivia that he now relies on is very helpful. Perhaps, if her second child she would later make with Xavier was female, she would name him Nizivia Hellvarossa.
Vermyna tilted her head avoiding the superpowered blow of the nephalem. At the same time, the dagger in his left hand managed to slash Fie's right hand until it broke off. Although it had to be paid for by receiving a kick in the stomach, Vermyna showed no pain. Along with his body that bounced he managed to bring with him Fie's right hand which he managed to decide.
Fie looked at the horror as Vermyna stuffed her right hand into her mouth. It was cannibalism! At least, that's what he wanted to scream. However, Fie's eyes saw that Vermyna had first used blood to fuse her hands before she swallowed. He turned Fie's hand into blood and swallowed it completely. That's repulsive.
However, Fie did not have time to express the disgust he felt. Vermyna was already in front of him with a crazy grin on the face. Fie's right hand was still not fully regenerated, so he used his left hand to try to get rid of this blood-sucking creature. Fie unleashed his full energy in the lesion of his left hand.
Shocking the nephalem, Vermyna deflected her blow easily and even grabbed her arm. Both of his blood daggers were no longer clasped in both hands, both of them had pierced both sides of Fie's stomach without him noticing. At this moment Fie realized one fatal thing: [Anti Magic] was no longer working on Vermyna magic!
Fie's words are stuck. The purple laser clad in life energy had pierced through the back of his neck until it came out from the front. Vermyna who was in front of him also hit – he immediately decayed into a large blood clot. And before Fie could question anything, her heart had been pierced. Vermyna's left hand barged out from the middle of both of her chest.
“Your biggest mistake is letting myself consume your blood,” whispered Vermyna from behind. “Now I am immune to [Anti Magic] you. Which means, you are no longer on the same level as me.”
Fie finds herself no longer able to move. Vermyna's blood had infiltrated her circulatory system, controlling every performance of her body. Fie had even lost control of both of her magic. He was completely immobile, helpless. There was nothing Fie could do to get out of the situation.
“You! Don't pi—”
“One World, Unification.”
Vermyna didn't let Fie put out any sentences. As soon as the three words came out from the mouth of the ancestors of the demons and vampires, a deafening scream came out from the mouth of the nephalem. The creature that was previously thought to be the strongest (putting Edenia aside), was now screaming in pain like every weak being on the verge of death.
However, the scream did not last long. The scream of pain instantly extinguished as his body began to decay into a blood clot. Fie, who was previously a nephalem, has now been perfectly transformed into a blood clot. And Vermya did not waste the chance – he immediately swallowed a blood clot Fie following a blood clot of his.
“…!”
Vermyna's body stiffened as only half the amount of blood entered her mouth. His eyes widened when he found a hand coming out of his chest cavity.
“I have two lives,” whispered a voice from behind him, which is none other than Fie Axellibra in his nephilim form. “I was forced to sacrifice my nephalem body, but that's a meager price.”
Fie gripped the heart he pulled out of Vermyna's chest cavity, making the vampire queen regurgitate all the blood she had swallowed.
“This is your end, Vermyna Hellvarossa.” Fie said with a flat intonation. “You are amazingly strong. I admit that. You really deserve to be the first anomaly. And because of that, your history must end here. Die and bina—!”
“Who are you telling to perish?”
The question came right from behind Fie. And along with that, the Vermyna whose heart he was clutching melted back into blood. This is the second time. But how can it be? Fie was absolutely certain that the heart she had clutched was the real Vermyna. How could he be wrong?
“Ba-How can?” asked Fie accompanied by vomit of blood coming out of her mouth— Vermyna's left hand had just pierced her left back until it penetrated out of the left chest.
“When I drink your blood, I know all your abilities. About your life that's two, I know that. It's your defeat, Fie Axellibra. Got any last words?”
