?522 I Ain't Done
"P-Please…Spare me!" Blight was terrified and shocked to the core as he had never expected such a horrifying outcome, even in his dreams.
He thought she was someone like him who came upon a mysterious shard and got powers that were weaker than his.
But he had no idea that he was only half right. Umilia did get her powers but not from a Fallen Soul Crystal but a Pure Soul Crystal that contained 2000 years of power she had cultivated. And most importantly, the soul crystal she received belonged to her soul only, unlike Blight.
Even without knowing all this, Blight wouldn't have dared to fight her if he knew that she had taken down many beings of pure evil in the Naraka Realm.
But now, all he could think of was escaping from here as being plunged into complete darkness shook his very soul.
"No evil deserves mercy from me," Umilia said in a calm, soft voice as she plunged her blade into his neck, killing him instantly, and a moment later, his body disintegrated into nothingness.
"Umi…" Taya's voice echoed from behind as she came out from behind the tall bushes she was hiding in.
She had taken cover the moment she saw that battles were going down in which she couldn't take part.
But she saw a bright white light shimmering not too far from the place she took cover in, and recognizing that light belonging to Umilia, she decided to check it out and learn what was going on.
However, when she came here, she was surprised to see the one named Blight crawling on the ground, his eyes a charred bloody mess.
But what truly shocked her was the aura Umilia was giving off and her demeanor that didn't seem like the Umilia she knew, nor would any mortal woman be so calm and undetached when killing someone.
This was the first time Taya had seen her in action like this, and she had never expected her to be so different when using her powers.
Still, Taya didn't feel scared of her presence and walked out to make sure Umilia was still there.
Umilia's eyes returned to normal the moment she heard Taya's voice, "Taya? You should have stayed there. This isn't over."
Taya was relieved to see Umilia's bearings returning to her usual and said, "I know, but where is Viktor?" She narrowed her eyes in confusion when she saw Umilia placing her hand on her nape.
"Is something wrong?" Taya asked as she walked over to see if anything was on Umilia's nape.
Umilia grimaced slightly as she felt a burning sensation on her nape for a few moments before it disappeared, "I don't know…I felt an odd sensation on my skin just now."
Taya took a look at Umilia's nape and was surprised to see a symbol of a basilisk-like creature wrapped itself around two swords criss-crossed. And this symbol looked like it was painted on her skin in the color of blood.
"What is this…" Taya mumbled with a puzzled look.
"That is the mark of a Champion. You are officially now a participant of the Bloodborn Tournament," Aelita's voice came from the side as both Umilia and Taya looked at her, walking towards them after dusting off the remnants of ice on her body.
Umilia was glad to see that Aelita wasn't badly hurt, but she was surprised to hear her words, "I have heard of it, but...how did I get chosen suddenly?"
"Because you killed him, who was a Champion. When you kill a Champion, you gain the right to participate in the Bloodborn Tournament. That is one way of getting in. I don't know if I should congratulate you or not. But we can talk about this after I protect my temple," Saying this, Aelita turned around to go towards the temple and help Viktor stop Hawk Demoness.
"Wait. I will help you fly over there," Umilia said as Aelita bowed in gratitude, "Thank you for helping us. I never expected a…witch like you to help us. I can't begin to express how grateful my people and I are."
Umilia softly smiled and said, "I don't know why you expected me to not help, but I can't simply watch while Taya's friends are in trouble."

A few minutes ago, Viktor was speeding across the island to catch up to Hawk Demoness. His figure whizzed across the land like a blur, and Hawk Demoness, who was flying up in the air and getting close to the mountain, frowned when she noticed that somebody was following her.
"A vampire?" She mumbled in surprise when she looked down and saw a true vampire trying to catch up to her. She couldn't understand where this vampire came from or who he was.
But she smiled with a sinister light in her eyes since her powers were deadly against vampires. No sane vampire would try to fight her, and yet this fool had no idea whom he was chasing.
She swooped down to deal with this idiot quickly.
Viktor stopped running when he saw this woman swooping down at him and saw her deadly mace suddenly blazing with red flames.
He wished he had a weapon, too, but he wasn't too worried as he was prepared to simply dodge when she got near.
But to his surprise, she hurled the mace downwards as it struck the ground near him within just a second, causing massive shockwaves along with ripples of flames that spread in every direction and struck Viktor.
"Ungh!" Viktor grunted as her flames blasted him away, and the entire area within a mile was turned into a fiery hell. Burning trees were crumbling down while the flowers and plants turned into ashes.
She only casually exerted her power since she believed she wouldn't have to waste too much effort in killing a vampire.
She smiled as she landed on the ashen ground and picked up her mace to continue flying to the mountain.
*Crunch!*
But she frowned when she heard the sound of a twig getting crushed under someone's feet.
"Don't try to leave so fast. I ain't done," Viktor said as he snuffed the flames on his arm by patting it with his hand.
