Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter IV Chapter 151

[Sonic Leapt]

Asiya lunged quickly accompanied by the slash of his sword. Echidna raised one of her arms to resist the attack. Although not visible, but Echidna's human skin is actually harder than metal orihalcum. That was the natural armor of the dragon race. The stronger they are, the harder the scales or skin they have.

Looking at Asiya who was pushing her body to jump up by relying on her explosive force, Echidna smiled faintly. He just thought of something.

[Sword Aura] [Raging Blaze] [Meteor Impact!]

After coating his sword with Mana and then making it smolder with blue-colored flame, Asiya rolled in the air, then he swooped down with his blade ready to hit Echidna.

The clash of Asiya's attack and Echidna's defense blew away the air dust around them and made the ground around them crack. Asiya smirked as her ears faintly heard the sound of cracks like a glass. "Hehe...Translucent. Now, feel my burning attack." He was convinced that the sound was coming from Echidna's shield.

Echidna jumped back. Asiya's sword struck the ground strongly. "Why are you avoiding? Afraid?Hmm?" Asiya chuckled with satisfaction.

Feeling the opportunity was in his hands, Asiya would not let the little girl run away or strike back.

[Mirgin]

Different from the [Haste] ability. [Blink] is an even faster footwork. Not only gathering Mana dominantly on the legs only. [Blink] is more like enveloping the whole body with Mana. It is needed to protect the body to avoid injury due to very fast movement. Unfortunately, this ability was too wasteful to use Mana and many people were not so eager to learn it.

In the blink of an eye Asiya had been behind Echidna. "Where did you see huh?! I'm here! [Wind Thrust]"

Asiya launched a stab attack covered in wind elements. Echidna was surprised, she immediately turned around but the tip of Asiya's sword was already in front of her eyes. Echidna could only hold it with both arms, then she was pushed back.

[Mana Bullet] [Mana Bullet] [Mana Bullet] [Wind Dagger] [Sonic Flame]

Asiya's constant attacks seemed to overwhelm Echidna. The sound of cracks that had only been faintly heard now became clear.

Asiya's fire slash burned Echidna's skin. The strong shield was finally destroyed.

Asiya laughed off. He smiled widely and said. "Hows it? I told you not to get in my way, didn't I? Haha.haha... Then accept YOUR DEATH!"

[Destructive Eternal Flame]

As he pulled his sword back and condensed Mana on his sword. With a wide horse, Asiya pushed the tip of her sword covered in blue flames quickly and strongly.

The fire rushed very fast towards Echidna. Like a spear, the fire caused Echidna to fall from the top of the fortress.

"No...!" Shouted hysterically Helian as she saw the little girl's body charred on fire and thrown away. Asiya's attack was so powerful that it could fly it.

"How is it possible? How did this happen? She's..." Helian bowed regretting her decision. Seeing the little girl fight for him and lose, instead of being afraid because he lost his last protector, but he regretted and was afraid because he did not know how he would see Alice later.

Did he guess wrong and think that Echidna could save his sister?

Helian's face darkened in despair. Her partner's daughter died because of her.

"It's all because of me. If only I hadn't asked him to save my sister. I'm sure this won't happen." Her tears dripped down her feet.

"There's no point crying over him. Right, it's all because of you. He died because of you." Said Asiya as she stepped leisurely towards Helian. He used wind and fire magic to restrain Helian.

"Aghhh!"Helian screamed in pain. "Why can't I use my magic?" Her thought. Ever since Asiya's arrival, Helian had already been suspicious of her suddenly weakened condition. He glanced at a bracelet that was in Asiya's hand that caught his attention. "Rune it...Extinction. It is only fitting that I feel that my Mana energy is slowly thinning."

Helian raised her head. He bit his lower lip. Then he took a deep breath and said. "You're right. Then, are you really going to kill me?" With his current condition. He had no chance of escaping or surviving.

"of course. Hehehe, silly. Why ask the obvious." Asiya played his sword in his hand.

"Do you... such a hate for me? Is this really what you want to do?"

Asiya turned his gaze for a moment. He felt something as he looked at Helian's wet eyes.

A vibration clanked within his mind. His heart that seemed to be drowning in a sea of bloodlust and obsession, felt like it was being knocked. His intentions began to slacken, his sword trembling with doubt.

"Damn! Be quiet! You're noisy! Shut up and accept your death!" Asiya stomped his legs in annoyance, then he raised his sword to the sky. He dismissed the doubts that disturbed his head.

For some reason, suddenly his sword felt heavy and difficult for him to push forward. "Why?! But stay a little more. Let's kill! Kill it! Kill her! You only need one swing and you win. End everything. Aren't you tired of being compared?"

Those negative emotions were unceasingly whispering forcing Asiya. "Ugh..." He was holding the side of his head.

Deep in his heart, the Awakened Asiya met the other side of him. Yes, it was a black shadow of her negative emotions.

Nah! Stop this!

Whyyy?! Isn't this your wish? Why quit?

You're wrong, I never wanted this to happen. I just want to

Want what? I know, I can feel it. Your expression, your face, I can see the jealousy in your gaze. What i..really?

......

Hehehe...I'm right, right? Then what are you waiting for? Time to end this.

N-no! That's not true! You're wrong!

Whaties? Then, do you want to return to receive the gazes of the palace's inhabitants? They always compare you to him, don't they? Most of them don't even think you exist. You are not pure noble blood, low class, pest, lowly elf. Specially? Heh! Even I doubt that after this is over you'll survive.

.....

Stop thinking. You are a traitor. Even though you are his sister then why? Who can save you? There aren't. Don't you?

You are. true but...

Kill him, seize his throne, take revenge on those who always underestimate you so that everything will be done.

Right but I don't want my brother to die.

No, you're wrong. You saved her. Do you remember all this time she always carried out her duties as a Queen well, but what? Those nobles were actually just toying with him and letting him dance around on their palms.

Older brother.....

By killing him you can save him. Take her position and then you can show her that you can help her. Hows it?

You're.right. I had to save him from suffering.

The black shadow of his collection of negative emotions smiled complacently. The trick worked.

Asiya lost the light in her eyes. "Asiya! Asiya!" Call Helian but her voice is no longer able to reach her sister. Asiya had completely sunk and her body was moving according to her negative emotional desires.

Asiya once again raised his sword. That Mana-plated sword was ready to slash at Helian. This time, it was certain that nothing else would stand in his way.

Helian closed her eyes. For the last time he remembered the smiling face, the melodious call and the spoiled and cute demeanor of his sister that had once been etched into his memory.

Helian sighed. He looked at Asiya, giving her a bitter smile as a sign of farewell.

"Goodbye.sister..."
