True King's Ecstasy

Chapter 354 Crazy Woman

?

Andriya stood tall, a wicked smirk curling upon her lips.

"How does it feel, Delviny?" she taunted, her voice dripping with vindication. "To taste defeat and fall so easily, when you thought you had me cornered?? This is just the beginning of what I can do with my newfound power."

"Do you know the reason why I would win this battle? It is because I'm greedy and I have the conviction to take what I want by force,"

Delviny's anger burned within her despite her compromised position. She hastily wiped the slimy substance from her eyes, trying to regain her sight. "You'll pay for this, Andriya!" she hissed through gritted teeth.

"You're all talk, no actions, just like your mother, I didn't really hate that woman, but I didn't like her," Andriya remembered about the old days.

"But can't you really make me pay? With your current position,"

Andriya's laughter filled the air, a cold and derisive sound. "Pay? Oh, my dear Delviny, you are the one who will pay the ultimate price. I have harnessed the darkness itself, and I command forces far beyond your comprehension."

"I did what was impossible, I assimilated two cells unlike other competitors and I already have the upper hand, if it means I can win, I won't hesitate to destroy my body and take twenty or even a hundred cells, that's who I am,"

With a flick of her hand, Andriya summoned forth the two of demonic zombies, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly malevolence. "Obey my command," she ordered, her voice resonating with an eerie authority. "Destroy her, and eat her, don't let her see the hope again,a !"

The grotesque creatures lurched forward, their twisted forms closing in on the fallen Delviny. Their claws extended, hungering for her flesh, as they obeyed their new master's command.

Delviny, wounded but undeterred, clenched her fists and summoned every ounce of strength she possessed. "I will not be defeated by the likes of you, Andriya! I will rise-"

Before she could even complete her sentence suddenly Andriya stepped on her head causing Delviny to swallow her words with pain.

"Shut up already! I'm done with you," as soon as the demons surrounded her, Andriya decided to go and find her real target but suddenly the two demons that were supposed to eat Delviny disappeared causing Andriya to get wary of her surrounding.

"Huh? What just happened? Where did they go?" She got close to Delviny, who looked like she was unconscious with worry to see what she did, but then she noticed something strange.

"Ash? Where did they appear from? Wait, don't tell me these ashes are-"

She quickly asked her bitter demon to come back and carefully looked at Delviny, but she didn't understand what was happening because she was pretty sure Delviny is unconscious.

"Kill her! Something creepy is going on, quickly kill her," Andriya ordered to her other demon that she tamed and he suddenly kneeled to feast on Delviny's flesh.

Andriya's heart froze as she realized the truth unfolding before her. The white light that disintegrated the demon came from the young girl who had descended from the sky with an aura of power and protection.

Her face showed signs of pain, but her eyes blazed with a dangerous intensity. It was clear that she was here to defend her mother, Delviny, who lay unconscious on the ground and her identity was no secret to Delviny.

As Delviny slowly regained her senses, she glimpsed her daughter standing fiercely in front of her, shielding her with an unwavering gaze. "Aurora?" Delviny gasped, her voice filled with both confusion and recognition. "Why are you... like this? Why did you come here? Don't fight her, go inside."

Aurora's voice, broken and strained, resonated with a mixture of determination and anguish. "Protect mother, father, duty," she managed to say, her voice trembling. "Your... daughter. Despite being a dragon, me."

Andriya's mind spun with disbelief and a growing sense of dread. Could it be true? Was she facing a dragon, a child she had never known? The realization hit her like a crashing wave, challenging her every assumption about her own identity and purpose.

"This is bad, she's bad news, I need to escape quickly,"

"Aunty," Aurora spoke with a commanding tone, her eyes never leaving her mother. "Leave her alone. If you don't... I will kill you."

In a cute voice, she muttered those words, but Delviny noticed something important. Aurora had blood coming out of her wings because this was the first time she flew this far. After all, it was not an easy distance from the castle to the wall.

"Baby! You came here for me?" With tears welling up her in her eyes, Delviny questioned because this was genuinely the second time she felt so connected to someone other than her brother.

"Father! Order, protect mother, I kill enemies," She muttered individual words, but they were enough for Delviny to understand why she came here even breaking Velian's orders.

Because she knew as much as playful Aurora is she won't go against Velian's words even if it killed her.

*Sigh

"Brother, this girl really loves you, now I feel a little jealous, not at Velian, but toward this girl because how can she love him more than I do?"

Delviny thought, but then she realised Aurora wasn't in her great condition because her face looked like she was on the verge of collapsing.

"Doing her dragon breathe one time would be exhausting, but she did it two times now, I need to kill Andriya before she realises," Delviny muttered and tried to get up, so she can finish what she started without letting her daughter kill this bitch in front of her.

"There's no need for that, sister, because you can relax now," Delviny tried to get up even though, she was full of injuries but then she heard the familiar voice that sent her heart into different phases of love and hope.

"Velian!"

"Papa!"

Both the girls felt like their wishes had been answered, as the man they wanted to see the most appeared before them.

But the same cannot be said for Andriya, as she had a complicated face.

"Can I beat him without any demons? I can't even escape now, what shall I do?"

She questioned herself without even knowing that it will be her greatest mistake to touch his family when he was absent.
