Chapter 100 - 100: The Final Battle(3)
Huff huff
Running along the street, without stopping a second to rest, she managed to grab ahold of his right hand. He pushed her hands off her glaring at her, he didn't even spare any minute for her.
"Diana??!!!"
"I'm sorry I tried to kill you back then. But please listen to me." he kept turning his head at Philip's back who ran toward the snowy mountain where Marinette was at the moment.
"What is it...huff huff...??"
"It wasn't the real Marinette, and I only hate Marinette because she's not the real Marinette, she's someone else--"
"What nonsense are you talking about??"
"Please believe me, Victor. Her real name is Sun-hee, Marinette is possessed by that evil soul. I even have proof."
"...Diana, just stops already...just for old time's sake, please stay away from me."
"What?? You bastard...I...the whole time...I love you so much...even right now, my heart is hurting...because of you!!!" Diana glared at him with her sharp blue eyes holding onto the necklace on her neck right on her chest.
She was in pain even though she wasn't the one who really love Victor.
"I only teach you swordsmanship because you ask me to."
"It's not about the swordsmanship!!! Swrodfighthign or whatever!! It's about you!!! You and your half-as* feeling were what hurt me the most. Do you really expect someone to love you back when you treat me like this?"
"...I'll go now, let's stay away from each other from now on." he was ready to turn his cold back at Diana again and again, the same way he turned his back on her in the first life when he abandoned her and ran to Marinette who he pushed into the snow.
"Yeah...the next...time we...meet, we'll only be stranger...and I won't hesitate to kill you like the way I did today..." something was stuck in her throat when she tried to endure the weakness, the tear which will fall at any moment to remain in her mixed pink and blue eyes.
"..."
"Victor!!! I'm warning you, you will be just broken as me when you realize the woman inside Marinette wasn't really her but Sun-hee."
He stopped for a while two feet away from her then started running again.
"Diana...you're better off sleeping in this body forever...from now on, love isn't just for us." both of the personalities had one thing in common was how they tried to hold back the tear of being abandoned by their loved ones.
The pink fragment inside Diana's blue eyes as she stared at the snowy mountain faded till it became dark and very dark blue.
Soon after, a group of people came out of the clock tower greeted Diana from behind her back kneeling with their heads on the ground toward her.
She wiped the tear in the corner of her eyes turning to them and murmured, "Dawn will come soon, so as the new empress. Prepare for the funeral of the emperor Regna, I trust you on this..." she picked the red petal stuck in her hair throwing it on the ground walking past all of those corrupted nobles she saved.
"And don't touch that man, beat him up and bring him to me later." her voice was cold and simple, it was a slight low voice but it gave the chill to all of those men who were trying to kill the unconscious Robert who laid on the ground.
'Richard, now I have the power to crush you...'

On top of the snowy mountain,
Arghh...
Marinette grunted falling her knees down to the ground as if there was some knife stuck deep inside her stomach, the pain was even worse than the sword in her stomach.
"Marinette!!" Aurora grabbed Valencia's sword swinging at those people creating the barrier protecting them from all of those enemies.
But the barrier was already cracking as Aurora lowered her knees to check on Marinette's condition.
"Aurora...it hurts...argh..."
"Are you on your period???"
"What?? No!!!! Worse!!! Worse than that!!!! Urgh...ngh..." Marinette panted holding onto her stomach, she was drenched in sweat even under the extremely cold weather.
The petal floated in their air which hold duke Jellal's weight disappeared, the light magic Marinette tried to use to ease up the pain in her stomach also disappear.
Every second, she felt like her life force was draining from her body. She didn't even have enough strength to open her eyes wide focusing on the battle because of the terrible pain.
"Stay here, you have to live."
"What are...you..."
"I'm about to do crazy sh*t."
"...Aurora..." she grabbed onto Aurora's end of dress but that little strength didn't stoop Aurora from jumping out of the barrier swinging the sword at all those people.
Marinette panted watching Aurora fighting all of those people with only her and the legendary demon's sword. She kept getting wounded.
'I won't bet my life...on this...I've been through worse.' Aurora gritted her teeth jumping into the air clenching tightly to the sword cutting the chain connecting the emperor and Igneel.
The chain fell down, Aurora grabbed Igneel to her side then closed her ear, so did all of those people with the roaring sound of the enormous dragon all the way to the opposite mountain.
With one of its roars, all of the snow on the mountain fell down from the top along with the big rock waking all of the dragons resting on the mountain flying and gathering all above the sky.
Aurora tried to take Igneel with her but Igneel shook her head, "Just save your friend, I'm gonna be fine...Aurora."
"...I promise I'll save you from all of your sufferings..." she swallowed her saliva and told her that with eyes full of determination. Igneel when hearing that smile genuinely wrapped her arm around Aurora with tears falling down from her cheek.
"My real name is Ivy...and I'm glad to meet you at the end of my life."
"The end of your..." Aurora was confused, but all of her questions were answered when she saw Igneel drift away from all the way back to the white dragon on the opposite mountain.
"Don't tell me..."
Ngh...
"Marinette!!!! Let me carry you." Aurora glanced at the big avalanches traveling down the mountain, and the scream of the citizen down there put heavy guilt on her heart, the little scream she heard, she bit her lip in the floating barrier watching the disaster coming for all of those people.
"Aurora...what did you...do?? What about all of those people...???"
"Just wait..."
"What do you mean...they will all die..."
"You always trust me, right??"

Without the barrier, there was not a single thing to protect the empire from the heavy snow, and after the control of the mighty dragon Igneel was gone, the dragon took away all of the magic spells it cast on the empire letting all of the snowstorm coming toward the empire.
That night marked a day of the new era of the northern empire, the day which the ninetieth emperor died, and the day of the new hero.
Marinette held onto duke Jellal in her arm putting her hand on the barrier, her highest voice couldn't bring Aurora back. The globe barrier was floating in the sky, the massive avalanche wiped away all of their enemies, but Marinette couldn't bear to see another person going to a place she could not reach.
"Aurora!!!! Don't!!! You'll die!!!!!!!"
"Aurora!!!!!!!!!! No...ack..." the black strange marks appeared all over Marinette's body, the same mark covered on her mother's body.
A half of an angel wing came out of her back, and the roses' thorn came out of her skin. Many memories surrounded the barrier leading Marinette to faint.
Weather Magic: I command you, water, fire, earth, air, all the element, bring me your power, bless me with your guidance, give me the courage. Weather Magic Ultimate Spell: Freeze!!!
The magic wave blast all over the northern area also known as the icy land, the snowstorm freeze, and the avalanches coming toward the citizens also froze.
It was complete silence, with only the sound of the baby crying being heard reaching Aurora's ears.
Her body which was on top of the empire was dripping blood from her nose, the magic inventory she got went loose became weaker to the point it dropped all of her stuff down to the ground.
"One more..."
Weather Magic: Disappear!
All of the frozen things she set frozen disappeared into nothing, the citizen's eyes became wide opened seeing the mountain surrounding their empire for thousands of years had not a single drop of snow on it just rock.
The cloud on the sky was gone letting the sunlight shone upon their empire, they all shared a single view of Aurora flying in the sky with the first sun in thousands of years rising up.
"Our hero!!!! Bow to our hero!!!!!!"
[Mission Complete! Reward:---]
"One more thing...to do..." Aurora flew down to the ground, her weather magic didn't keep up with her anymore. Just as she flew down, her body was pulled down to the ground at a very fast speed making her knees bleed from the fall.
"They're gone...I defeat...all of them..." her eyes became drowsy, she grabbed the sword of the legendary demon and waved it to the right then her body fell down afterward but her head didn't touch the ground, all of those citizens came to recuse her.
"Be careful, she's our hero."
The barrier floating on the sky drifted along the sky crossing the northern bother landing on the roof of the hut in a nearby forest.
Prince Philip and Victor witnessed all of that standing at the side watching all of those citizens carrying Aurora's body gently and carefully with respect.
Aurora glanced at those two men when her body was carried past those two, she gathered her last bit of her magic controlling the element of air carrying some of the leaves on the street leading their way to Marinette.
'Go...' she murmured her voice to them then fell unconscious after that.
"Let's go!" Victor nodded to the prince's sword and ran after him following all of those leaves.

"What's that powerful magic??!!" the black hair demon Lucas spat out of the dirt inside his mount out frowning his eyebrows. He was the first one among all of Marinette's enemies waking up.
He found himself inside a forest, and it wasn't just him there. A grey-haired woman, Kira was also lying unconscious there.
Aurora's magic could only make things in control of her magic disappear, but not the living beings such as humans and demons.
All of those people almost died in the avalanches but thanks to her spell, they all were rescued and teleported to a random place scattered all over the place near the northern empire.
"Urgh...where am I??" Kira got up scratching her head with her eyes still fuzzy, she turned her head to her left at the path leading out of the forest with tall green trees, and at the end of the path was a hut she would never imagine she would be able to see again.
"Brother...??"
To be continued....!
