My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

Chapter 39 - 39: Oracle And Sacrifice(5)

+++

"Hurry up...urgh..." Kira kicked Anette right in her stomach several times seeing her not moving on the ground, half of her face was covered in blood, she was bitten by the poisonous snake and her wound was still bleeding.

Without any time to spare, she groaned as she tried to get up from the ground as she got no choice since her neck was locked with the magic collar. Even if she refused, the electric collar will change her mind.

"Carry me, I'm so tired."

"Yes, my lady..." Anette did what she said lifting her up and putting her on her back like she was her pet to carry her climbing the mountain.

She couldn't hold on much longer as even breathing was hard for her, but something kept pushing her forward. She collapsed right at their destination.

"Riana, take this woman to the prison." Kira threw Anette's body across the floor as they arrived at the place where they planned to take her power out of her. The time to do that hasn't arrived yet so they had no other choice but to lock Anette in the room with lightning magic surrounding it.

"Yes, sister." the black-haired woman which was a little shorter than Kira looked at Kira indifferently and then picked Anette up to that room.

She handcuffed her to the chain they prepared to restrain her until the time arrived.

"Did you lock the room??" Kira sat on the handmade throne out of wood eating the grape asking her little sister, Riana.

"Yes, I will guard the entrance now."

"Just a little more, the superhuman power will be mine!!" she giggled on her cute throne without seeing the glare of her sister at her as she left.

Riana clenched her hands and walked to the entrance to guard not letting anybody in, she stood there with a spear like a warrior.

Little did Kira know, that the place they built had a secret entrance from the outside. Riana used it and sneaked inside the room where Anette was in.

She threw water in the bucket she brought right in Anette's face after deactivating the lightning magic around that room.

"...who...are you??" Anette murmured in pain as Riana took off the handcuff.

"Just think of escaping from here." as Riana expected, Kira didn't use the normal handcuff. Riana had to break the wall down without making a sound.

"There will be an eclipse this evening, whatever you do...don't let her catch you until the eclipse ends" Anette nodded as she left Riana behind with the handcuff that carried the heavy rock on both of her hands.

It wasn't a problem for Anette to move with that weight but the problem was the monster on the mountain. She already hit her limit a moment ago.

"I figure you would do that...Riana." Kira slapped her cheek without mercy, Riana could only glare at her as the blood on her cheek rolled down drop on the floor.

"...stop all of this...I'm tired."

"No!!! I won't ever stop until I stand on top of everyone!!! I want to be the strongest in the world...I only need that power...then I'll be having all of the power of the five empires!!!"

"So what after that...? Will you be happy?? Even you have to kill me??"

"...aww, Riana...it's heartbreaking to tell you this...but I never treated you as my sister...we just happened to be adopted by the same parents." Kira snickered as she stepped her heel on Riana's hand.

"Yeah...and it's sad to break this out for you...but your hypnosis never worked on me...ever since you kill those two people." Riana broke her heel and the fight broke out on top of the mountain as Riana finally showed her true power.

Kira panted as she tried to escape from Riana's fury. She never expected her hypnosis failed, but when she looked into Riana's eyes...it all answered her question when one of Riana's eyes was already blind.

"...you never win against me, Kira."

"Yeah, that was why I called for someone." the bright light magic from behind hit Kira right in her back blow her up from the top of the mountain.

"Are you alright??" it turned out to be Christopher. Riana planned this ever since Kira told her the plan, that was why she asked for Christopher to cooperate since Anette was his friend and she had to stop an evil person like Kira from getting the full power.

Although the way she invited him was a bit...

//Flashback

"...person...help."

"What??"

"The...pink...girl...in danger."

"You mean Anette??" Christopher who was sipping his tea peacefully before the graduation day had never met anyone like her.

She nodded and then did the body language although she knew how to talk.

'I...need you...to help...'

"You need me to help??" she nodded, Christopher hid his smile with his big hand seeing the same person who broke into his palace was shy like that.

She started explaining everything that happened, Christopher listened to each of her words paying attention. But not everyone loved that scenario. The lady who was holding the teapot of Christopher's favorite tea could only bite her lip enduring the pain like a blade stabbed her heart when she saw him being that happy with someone else.

It was the saintess, the one Christopher married to for power and to be connecting with the church. She ran back with tears dropping on the path she walked.

"I'll go to the southern empire that day to help, please hold on until I come." she bowed to him ninety degrees then left the royal palace back to Kira were at that time in the Center Empire.

Back to the present,

Christopher had to fight with Kira blindfolded as looking into the eyes meant falling into her spell, so Riana tied the red cloth on his eyes while guiding him where to charge.

Riana trained for many years for this day to take back her revenge on the cruel person in front of her, she had gained resistance to her hypnosis command.

"You traitor!!!" many chains came from the ground tearing the whole building down, Riana jumped to Christopher getting him out of the building dodging all the falling rocks.

Kira at that time flew into the sky with the magic energy filled all over the air, her rage turned her magic energy to dark red like the blood dripping from her black eyes.

"...you...ok??" she asked Christopher shakingly again. She couldn't get used to talking with someone like him.

"How about you??" Christopher already knew the answer and healed her right hand that was bleeding back to normal closing her wound.

"We need to defeat her." Riana looked at the black sky which was caused by the undefeatable Kira from her standing point, that was only Kira with the magic of four empires, if she ever gets her hands on the fifth power of the empire...she might become the next destruction of the world.

"You owe me after this!!!" Christopher smirked as he gathered his magic and jumped on the air punching Kira with his magic down to the ground.

Riana grabbed her spear using that opportunity to deal the final blow, but the chain suddenly strangled her throat came out of nowhere.

"One down...now, it's time for me to deal with that guy..."

"Who said I'm down??" Riana stabbed the spear right in Kira's stomach as she lets her guard down against her. The chain shocked Riana till her head hit the ground.

She screamed in agony, Christopher rushed down and grabbed her back but the chain was still on her neck.

"So she can use chain?? Hypnosis? And what about two more??"

"...I only knew one, it was spiritual power..." Riana coughed blood at the end of the sentence, wipe it off, and then continued, "I have no idea about the other one...but it's the power came from the eastern empire..."

"Oh...we're doomed." hearing the word coming from Christopher, Riana felt hopeless but they stood up together to go against Riana one more time.

"Riana...I'll kill you once and for all."

"Yeah...come and get me." she grabbed Christopher's hand and ran away from that monster after all the training she did.

"Hey..." she took Christopher's blindfold off and proceeded to run in a different direction from Anette. That was her last trump card, as long as Kira followed them, they will buy some time for Anette to escape from Kira.

"So princess Athena must go that way..." Kira grinned and went in Anette's direction.

Back to Anette who was running aimlessly leading to the cliff, her wrist already had the red mark on it after many minutes of running nonstopping. The cloud on the top of the mountain turned black and lightning was everywhere.

She saw the fire torch of the southern army from her standing, she tried to shout for them to help but no one heard her voice. She felt hopeless, the only way to escape was to jump from here. She made it this far thanks to her luckiness of not running into monsters, as she thought, the monster only appeared on the stair up the mountain.

Her brothers who rode on the back of the horse leading the army also didn't hear her voice shouting at them for help.

It was to jump of die situation, her power already drained out of her body and was on and off like the firefly's light ever since the moon above her head started covering the sun bit by bit.

"What a pity...princess Anette...dead end??" Kira already caught up to Anette on the cliff, she walked in her bright red heel toward Anette. Anette felt scared as she tried to stay away from that evil woman till one of her feet didn't feel the ground anymore.

"You think I won't jump??"

"You won't...if you ever do that...I'll kill Jellal first. Don't threaten me, Anette--" her voice was cut off when the death roses magic vine strangled her throat. The first time Kira was caught like that, even someone stabbed her in her stomach, she had never experienced fear and death like that moment.

"So...you threatened me to order Anette around??? You imbecile..." Anette's eyes turned big as the man coming out of the forest on the other side of the cliff wasn't the same as the man she used to see, she murmured his name, "Jellal??"

Jellal's eyes turned completely red as his anger and grudge took control all over him, he punched the sh*t out of Kira over and over again even Anette wouldn't be able to stop him. Even the golden chain Kira summoned couldn't stop the beast of Mortel.

"Jellal, stop!!! You're hurting yourself..." she cried begging him to stop again and again. Jellal couldn't hear her anymore as the blood came out of his ears. All of his senses were taken away from him. He couldn't even feel pain anymore.

Anette hugged Jellal around his neck even his elbow hit her several time, she resisted letting go of him.

"Just stop...please...I can't bear to see you like this..."

"You monster!!! You hit my precious person!!! You hurt the one I love!!! I'll kill you...I'll kill you...how dare!! How dare you to hit her???"

Anette was flustered by the sudden confession from Jellal, the tear dropped on her hand, it was Jellal's tears.

"I love her so much...she has never been hurt like that before...I fail to protect her...if I lose her...my world will turn to hell again."

"Jellal..." Kira was already unrecognizable at that point, the thorn started appearing on her body as Jellal slowly killed her. Her hand dropped cold on the rocky cliff and the other hand dropped on Anette's bare feet. A spark appeared at that faithful moment but none of the two lovers noticed it.

"Anette...I'm sorry...I'm sorry I couldn't protect you..." Jellal's head dropped on Anette's shoulder while Anette's heart couldn't handle the situation, she patted his head lightly calming him down.

"Jellal, I lov--" 

"Look out!!!!!!!" Christopher jumped out of the forest catching Anette away from Kira and Riana grabbed Jellal's collar dragging him out.

Boooooommmmm

"HAHAHAHA, finally, the power of this world is mine!!!!" Kira floated into the sky laughing down at the four people trembling on the end of the cliff.

Anette looked at her hand in fear as her power disappeared from her completely.

"Now time for the payback...who should I kill first??"

To be continued....!
