Chapter 46: War VII
"You hesitated."
Alex's hand gripped Ena's neck swiftly, but it didn't stop there. There was a burning sensation coming from the hand that was gripped on Ena's neck. It was making her harder to breathe as if the air was breathing sucked out of her lungs.
「 ENA! *ERROR* HURR- *ERROR* UP AND KILL *ERROR* HIM *ERROR* 」
"ENA!" Alice screamed.
However, Alice couldn't do anything. A wall of fire, ice, earth, and wind surrounded the two. Nothing could get to them since the layers of the magic were too strong for them to breakthrough.
Ena felt a painful headache starting to appear, there was static in Yue's voice and it was already hard for her to breathe. She should've known that Alex would pull a dirty trick on her she knew Alex would do something like that, yet she still fell for it.
Ena cursed herself in her head but now wasn't the time to worry about that. She needed to break free from Alex's grip, she faintly recalled Yue's last few words, to kill Alex.
But some doubts surfaced in her mind, would she be able to? Would she hesitate again? Ena had to kill Alex or else she would disappoint everyone that had hopes for her, but there was another question that remained unanswered, how will she kill Alex?
Ena could feel her strength slowly sap away, she wasn't as proficient in controlling her chi as Yue was. The blades of chi in both her hands started to disappear as her chi started depleting faster and faster.
「 USE YOUR *ERROR* TRU- *ERROR* CHI* 」
The static she was hearing was getting louder and louder while Yue's voice was becoming fainter. Was this the process of being corrupted? To have your mind broken first? This was the first time experiencing this feeling, it was as if something was trying to take over her mind.
But no matter how weak or strong Ena was, she had to use all of her wills to make sure she wouldn't be corrupted because if someone with her abilities became corrupted, it wouldn't be good for the world.
If only she could do something like Yue.
Suddenly an idea popped into Ena's head, like Yue? She remembered the things that Yue did while she was in her body. The blades of chi Yue created weren't regular chi, it was the chi that came directly to her core, true chi.
Since Ena's chi was depleted, drawing her true chi out might be easier. Closing her eyes, Ena relaxed her body and went into a state of concentration. The headache and the static she was feeling in her head started to disappear, she couldn't feel it anymore. Ena imagined where the source of her true chi came from.
Once the bright violet core of true chi appeared in Ena's mind, she started drawing out the true chi and circulating it through her veins. It gave off a relieving warm sensation, like drinking something cold in a hot summer.
*FUUU*
Projecting the True Chi from her body creating two sharp twin blades of chi, it made a noise similar to a fire lighting up.
Alex knew something was wrong once Ena's eyes closed and her body went limp, but since she looked so helpless, he didn't mind it and continued with the corruption. However, the bad feeling resurfaced, that was when he saw the two twin violet blades form in her hands.
Just right before Alex was about to release Ena and jump away, he felt agonizing pain in his chest. Looking down, there was a blade piercing through the gem that gave him his abilities.
All of Alex's strength was sapped as he released Ena from his grip. His knees met the floor as he grew more and more tired.
*CLING*
The gem dropped down to the ground with a loud sound, the layers of magic surrounding it all disappeared and revealed the two figures to the people outside of the layers.
All of the royal members were worried about Ena who was inside the layers of magic, they have last seen her being held up by the neck by Alex. Ivy was able to detect that Ena was still alive by circulating her roots through the ground. But they didn't have time to worry about her when they had to fight against the mutants.
With Ena's plan, they were able to fight against mutants quite well. She was right when they had intellect in them, they were able to get used to their first plan easily but as they started switching it up more often and cooperating, they were able to hold their own against the mutants.
When the layers of magic dropped, all of them stopped what they were doing, even the mutants. Everyone wanted to see what was happening while they were fighting.
They were all surprised at the sight, Alex was laying on the ground while Ena had her blade above Alex's heart getting ready to pierce it.
"Ena!"
"Princess Ena!"
Alice was the first one to rush over to Ena with Marie following behind. Everyone else was trying to keep the mutants from getting any closer so they could check on Ena.
However, the look Ena had made Alice and Marie stop in their tracks. They both knew that look, it was filled with disgust, hatred, and satisfaction. There was no sparkle in her eyes either, it made her look dead.
Ena was finally satisfied, Alex was now going to pay for everything he's done to the kidnapped children.
*KSTTT*
Blood splurted out from Alex's chest and mouth as the blade pierced his heart. Ena watched Alex's eyes slowly roll back before turning all white, she felt relieved in her heart.
Ena let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding, the twin blades in her hands disappeared as she gazed at her surroundings. The royal members seemed to be frozen and the mutants were not moving, literally.
*THUMP*
Before everyone could process what was happening, all of the mutants dropped to the floor, motionless. At that moment, multiple thoughts ran through everyone's mind, but everyone only wanted the answer to one question.
Was everything over?
