CHAPTER 181~3RD PERSON'S POV~“And that is the actual reason I and my parents were banished from Forgotten. It's the same reason I still lose my mind when I see blood,” Mary said. She had woken up from her deep slumber and was now sitting at the dining table with Anaya, waiting for Edith to serve dinner.“So, the source of the powerful aura that surrounds you every time you see blood is an abyss demon that's always with you?” Anaya asked.“He’s not an abyss demon, and he wasn't created by the Darkmoon goddess either. Before the moon goddess split herself in two halves, she created immortal beings that would search for and guard whatever planet could support life in the cosmos. No one knows how many of them she created, but it is said that as time passed, they couldn't find a planet with life in the entire cosmos, so they never returned to the moon goddess. After the moon goddess split herself in two halves, she created the earth and the mortals that dwelled on it. This brought the i
CHAPTER 182~3RD PERSON'S POV~“Thanks for coming to my rescue,” Daniella said softly, standing beside Sabbath under the night sky. All the other humans that passed by couldn't see him because he existed in between the physical and spiritual realms.“You do not have to thank me; I was only passing by and saw that little brat causing trouble in the moongoddess's world,” Sabbath replied. His smile was permanent, forever giving him what seemed to be a hauntingly happy expression on his face for eternity.“Still, for someone who joined the group that went against the moongoddess's will to attack the mortals, you sure have changed a lot. A thousand years ago, we couldn't stand side by side like this without getting into a fight,” Daniella said.“Let's just say a lot has happened since then. I met someone—someone who changed me. While staying beside her and watching her grow up from a youngling to the teenager she is today, I felt a sense of pity and remorse for the mortals. I wanted to pr
CHAPTER 183 ~3RD PERSON'S POV~ ~DARK FOREST~ “Anaya is done with her preparations for the battle against the abyss demons. You may proceed with your invasion,” Clarabelle said with a cold voice, staring down at the unknown. “But, my queen, why did you ask me to wait until now? Won't this just increase Anaya's chances of winning against the abyss demons?” The unknown asked, his head lowering as he kneeled before Clarabelle's throne. “But that's exactly what I want to see. I'd like to know if the love these mortals have for their world is actually enough to save them from their untimely deaths at the hands of the abyss demons. If they actually do survive, I can just snap my fingers and turn their world into dust, and if they don't, then the abyss demons can take over the mortal realm and make it their home as well,” Clarabelle said. “So, this is all just one huge show for you?” the unknown asked. “You could say that,” Clarabelle replied. The unknown slammed his fist into the grou
CHAPTER 184~3RD PERSON'S POV~“Wow, that was unexpected,” Christine's father said with surprise in his voice.Christine giggled. “After my mate died, I felt a mate bond with Gregory, but I didn't want to rush into a relationship with him because I was really hurt by everything that was happening then. I felt my life had crumbled and there was no way to piece it back together, so I didn't want to drag Gregory into it. But as time went on, I was able to heal with his and the help of other good friends. Now we want to get married as soon as possible. I really do hope you give us your permission, Father.” she explained.Her father let out a sigh, then replied, “Well. I made the mistake of trying to separate you from the person you loved before, and I'm not going to make that mistake again. If Gregory is the man you want to be with, then so be it.”He turned to Gregory, then continued, “Gregory, Christine is my precious gem. She's everything to me. Please be good to her; treat her well li
CHAPTER 185“What seems like large gates or portals to a completely different world has opened up in different areas in Mystic Meadow, Willow Crest, and Westerville. So many have already been killed by these monstrous creatures that are continuously pouring out of these gates, but the military has arrived and is currently moving people as fast as they can to numerous safe houses constructed around the world.” A reporter spoke into her microphone, sitting inside a helicopter that hovered over a district of Mystic-Meadow that had caught fire.“Hmmm, an entire district has already been destroyed by the abyss demons. I didn't expect the war to start so soon. The unknown hasn't even shown his face yet,” Anaya said, staring at her television with clenched teeth and furrowed brows.“So, what's our next move now?” Mary asked."Firstly, we were going to allert all the werewolf packs around the world—ask them to join the fight against these demons. The werewolf packs on our side of the world wi
CHAPTER 186~3RD PERSON’S POV~Lady Anaya arrived at one of the safe houses with Mary and Edith in a decorated carriage. The carriage was larger than normal and was dark brown with golden designs all over. The driver of the carriage got down from his seat and rushed to open the door for Anaya. Upperclassmen and women, wearing black suits and beautiful dresses, stood outside the large metal building, waiting for Lady Anaya to arrive. As the driver opened the door of the carriage, Edith stepped out first. Edith wore her usual maid uniform. She was asked by Anaya to put on something more classy, but she refused because she was already used to her uniform.Mary soon followed, wearing the dress she convinced Anaya into giving her. Mary walked to stand beside Edith, then turned back to the carriage.Anaya then stepped out. And cameras started to flash. Anaya wore a golden yellow dress and packed her hair in a ponytail. The dress had a long slit that extended from the bottom of the gown to h
CHAPTER 187~3RD PERSON'S POV~“Hello, lady Anaya. My name is THE UNKNOWN, and I'm here to end your life,” The Unknown said with a blank expression on his face. His eyes glowed even brighter than before, and thick black smoke suddenly enveloped both of his hands, slowly morphing into sharp blades. “Everybody, run!!” Mary and Edith yelled, and the entire crowd started to move around in panic. The soldiers that were present in the hall helped guide the people out through multiple exits, allowing women and children to go out first. Anaya clenched her teeth tightly as her fangs elongated. She tore off the sleeves of her dress and tore off a large portion of her gown, revealing her legs—she wore tight black shorts that extended down to her lower thigh.All the men present in the hall stopped moving. They turned to Anaya and stared endlessly, their faces slowly turning red.“What? Why did they suddenly stop?” Mary asked. She stared at the crowd for a moment, then slowly followed their line
CHAPTER 188~3RD PERSON'S POV~Alpha Derren, Maria, and Eugene moved through the city, battling the abyss demons. They broke through buildings and random structures on the streets, killing the demons until there were only a few left in the part of the city they were in. Their warrior wolves, who had already joined them, stood before the large portal and worked together to keep the abyss demons from spreading out into the city once they jumped out.Even with all their efforts, the city of Mystic-Meadow had already become a complete mess. The demons and the impacts of their battles had destroyed so many things. Derren and Maria walked side by side, searching for more Abyss demons around the area. After a few hours, they both stopped and sat down close to a building on the street, resting their backs against its wall. “These things are so many and difficult to fish out, aren’t they?” Maria said, letting out slow and soft breaths.“Yeah, but I'm sure we'll be done here soon. Once we cle
CHAPTER 310~GABRIELLA'S POV~Just as Clarabelle warned, the entire world forgot that there was such a thing as the alpha-J drug, and every trace of it vanished from the face of the earth after she reversed the fate of everyone who consumed it and became an artificial. Things went back to normal so quickly that it almost seemed like nothing happened at all—like all the struggles my friends were put through by Episteme, Evelyn, and Agnes were just a dream. People forgot that a company like Higher Wellness Pharmaceuticals existed and that Governor Gerald was a criminal.Newspapers and written reports about the matter disappeared without a trace. Because of this, Steven’s company was unaffected by Evelyn’s actions, and the criminals involved were convicted secretly by the council. Questions were asked about Governor Gerald’s and Queen Elizabeth's disappearances, but people soon got distracted by other things and lost interest in the matter. Steven offered to hand over the position of h
CHAPTER 309~3RD PERSON’S POV~Maria and Clarabelle stood in front of the gates of the Dragnon mansion with umbrellas above their heads and worry on their faces. They had been waiting for Marie and the others to return for hours, but there was no sign of them returning at all.Clarabelle did well to protect everyone from the intense heat, and now that the sun had moved away from the earth, she was sure that Marie and her friends had won the battle. In fact, as the Immortal of Fate, she already knew they would win, and she already knew who would bring that victory, but she wasn't allowed to say a word to anyone. What she wasn't sure of was if they had survived or not, because she refused to look that far into the future.“Do you think they'll return safely?” Maria asked with worry in her voice. She has lost her husband before and was very afraid of losing him again.Clarabelle turned to her and saw the worry in her eyes, then turned away. “Let’s just be hopeful,” she said softly. A f
CHAPTER 308~3RD PERSON'S POV~~Earlier~“Huh?” Gabriella blinked repeatedly in confusion as she stared into Lunaris's eyes. They both sat in a pool of water in the black, empty void that was Gabriella's mind. “What’s going on? I thought I died already,” Gabriella asked softly.“You did—well, not exactly. I put you to sleep for over four months to get some things done in your world. Now that my plot is complete, I'd like you to return and continue living the life you've always wanted,” Lunaris said with a smile.“Oh, you mean I didn't have to die for you to take my body?” Gabriella asked.“Yes, Gabriella. If everyone knew that you were still alive, they would not have grown as much as they have now... especially Marie. I had to make everyone believe that your death was necessary for me to come to this world, so that the plot I couldn't finish years ago would finally be completed,” Lunaris responded.“Oh, I can't believe it's been four months already. How's Marie and the others doing?
CHAPTER 307~3RD PERSON’S POV~Marie and her sisters, Cortana and Yuna, sat inside a large metal dome created by Angela. Angla had created multiple domes like this to accommodate the entire army of Vedantya, and this was because the temperature of the atmosphere has risen to an unbearable level. Daniella used her manipulation of heat to cool down the domes so the occupants wouldn't die of heat stroke.The air around the domes looked like it had been stained with gasoline fumes, and rocks around them had begun melting.Valerie tried again and again to open a portal but failed every single time. The spell that blocked her ability to use spatial magic wasn't very powerful but was somehow too complex for her to undo. It was like the spell reformed itself at light speed every time she broke it, and there was no way of stopping it.“This is bad. If we stay here longer than this, the whole world is going to melt down,” Angela said with worry on her face.“No, we can't give up yet; I'm sure I
CHAPTER 306~3RD PERSON’S POV~“What have you done to me?!!” Agnes yelled with a gory voice.“I poisoned you, Agnes. Ordinarily, poison wouldn't be enough to kill a witch like you, but depending on how powerful the poison is, it would be enough to weaken you. The souls of the fallen Immortals despise you, Agnes. But as much as they want to escape, as souls, they're not nearly strong enough to go against the spell you put on them. It's just like Sabbath and Mary; without Mary's body, Sabbath can't use his power. So, without Agnes's body, the immortals are weak to her spells. But spells require serious mental concentration and physical reinforcement to hold together, and once those two things weaken, the spell comes apart and the souls of the Immortals have their chance to escape.” Agnes gripped her stomach tightly as she felt an agonizing pain coming up. She bled from her nose and mouth as the souls of all the Immortals began seeping out of her body and flying off. “After the Immor
CHAPTER 305~3RD PERSON'S POV~~years ago~“You idiot, don’t go playing with sharp objects if you’re going to lose your mind like that; you know how dangerous that power of yours is,” Agnes queried.“I’m so sorry, I was only trying to get over my fear of blood; it’s really hard,” Mary replied nervously, stroking the back of her head slowly.“Don’t do that anymore. You’ll end up hurting everyone around you,” Agnes said. “But I’ll have you to slap me back to my senses before that happens, right?” Mary said.Agnes smiled. “Yeah, but next time I’ll make sure to slap you even harder so you get knocked out before coming back to your senses.” Both she and Mary laughed together, and the four teachers just stared at them with confused expressions on their faces.~•••~“I lied to you the other day, Mary. I’m not friends with you because you’re a good person or make life interesting for me. I mean, you do, but that’s not the reason.”“Then what is?” Mary asked.“It’s because I feel very ashamed
CHAPTER 304~3RD PERSON’S POV~Mary was accompanied into the building by a group of four people. Two of them were maids, and the other two were Agnes’s soldiers. All four of them still had that eerie smile on their faces, and their eyes still glowed bright red, making them look like their minds were being controlled. They walked into the glass building and led Mary to a magical elevator that didn’t require electricity to work. Mary had her guard up, prepared to launch an attack at anyone who tried to annoy her. At this moment, she was already very pissed off, and anyone who tried to attack her now would be walking into their grave.The elevator door closed and started to rise up the building. Everyone was unusually quiet, and none of Mary’s escorts wanted to make eye contact with her. Mary watched them through the glass wall in front of her—they looked like dolls, stiff and lifeless, like they had been programmed to only move when they were given orders.The elevator rose for over tw
CHAPTER 303~3RD PERSON’S POV~The team of eight continued to fight against the Asuras, cutting through and destroying their forces with as much speed, strength, and precision as they could. They all fought with rage in their hearts, determined to end the battle as quickly as possible, but the Asuras were just too many. It didn't matter what the team did or what amount of power they used; the Asuras just kept coming like an endless sea of stars.The Asuras armor-like skin had become so strong that Edith's blade and Anima Morning Star both broke on impact. The two Immortals had to summon their weapons again and again during the fight just to avoid getting killed. They had to look for a new way to kill these Immortals, and that way was to attack them at points where their armour didn't cover—the gaps in the skin that revealed their glowing orange flesh. Targeting these parts was especially difficult for the werewolves because they didn't have long-range weapons, and getting too close t
CHAPTER 302~3RD PERSON'S POV~Nicole and Melody moved swiftly through the forest, toward the area where the forcefield was located. Nicole hovered using a glowing, orange, magical disc, and Melody just flew around, dodging the trees and large rocks in the way. They both had already seen the helicopter fly off, so they knew Mary was already going against her parents. Their only problem was getting to the forcefield, as the distance it was from where they opened their portal was too much. “Hey, couldn't you just use spacial magic to take us there? It's starting to look like this forest is playing tricks on us,” Melody asked, turning to Nicole.Nicole looked around, her eyes scanning past each tree, shrub, and rock. “I can't use spacial magic or any other kind of magic. Something is blocking me from doing it. This is bad; it means we can't teleport home unless we can find a place where I will be able to use spatial magic,” she responded. “But you're right,” she continued, then stopped
