When the surroundings settled, Sir Benjamin closed his umbrella and started giving a lecture that was too difficult to understand."If it's a demon, whether they regained their consciousness or not, their only ending was to be executed. It was the same with a tainted soul. The demon inside them has festered. You can't cut it off. The only result was to end up like that. Do you understand?"I blinked. I am still shocked by the powerful execution. That terrifying screams and blinding light were so overwhelming that it took me quite a while to understand what Sir Benjamin was asking about.Lucas was sharper than me and recovered. He asked, "I can understand that it would happen to my case. But Kelly's condition is different. Are you saying her situation was akin to that demon with intelligence?""What?" I was stunned. Why did my condition become so serious?Sir Benjamin nodded. "You have guessed it. Although she had reached a pure state, her soul had been tainted. There's a reason why ta

While I convinced Lucas to leave, the fog from the battlefield slowly dissipated. A deep massive crevice appeared. In the center of it was Sir Benjamin covered in dust. His shield had been broken long ago but he still looked calm as ever.The three 'archdemons' had surrounded him."We thought you'd be gone. It would be too bad if you are finished in just a few hits. How can we test this new power of us without you, the strongest grim reaper?" Sir Benjamin patted the dirt from his clothes. He leisurely answered."So this is the power you gained after consuming thousands of souls? You sacrifice the Capital and the people loyal to you just for this little bit of power?" Sir Benjamin smirked. "What a lousy deal."The three demons were provoked. They unleashed their aura and started showing off their 'lousy' power. Seeing the torrential attacks, hail storms and deadly spells that came to Sir Benjamin at once made me want to shake Sir Benjamin's shoulder and tell him to stop provoking the

The sky darkened. The various aura that scattered in the ruins of the battlefield was overwhelmed by a thrilling sensation from the vast dark vortex above us.The three huge demons shuddered under the blanket of the dark sky. As if there was a behemoth thousand more times powerful than them eyeing them in that pitch darkness."...It couldn't be...We..are powerful enough...We are Archdemons...so why...why are we still overwhelmed by their scythe?!" The three demons were injured but they were still capable of running away. However, in the face of such a behemoth, they began trembling in fear. If the black sky descended upon them, then they wouldn't be able to escape and be subjected to its torture. The archdemon Old Xian paled. He was the quickest among the three. He raised his trembling arms as he summoned a massive cauldron, planning to use it to fight the vast vortex from descending.The Yang barrier that trapped him immediately break.A gigantic ancient cauldron appeared. It hung

A/n: This chapter is fixed. *** The surrounding went silent. If not for the ruins around us and the chaotic energy that started to disperse, I would have mistaken that everything that happened was an illusion. The battle had ended. Those terrifying demons were gone. The skeleton-like figure had disappeared. Everything happened so fast that I was not able to think of anything. I could only hold on to Lucas who was still unconscious in my embrace. The old and shriveled Sir Benjamin walked slowly toward us. I stared at him dazedly, shocked beyond words. At this moment, my mind was full of puzzling questions. Who was the skeleton-like figure? What is Sir Benjamin's relationship with that woman? What kind of wish did he make for him to suffer thousands of millennia? Was his inheritance was passed on to Lucas? Would Lucas....lived like him for thousands of years...all alone? I have so many questions but my mouth won't move. I could only stare at the old Sir Benjamin and waited for

One year later.... I watched our Principal make an emotional speech for the graduates. The teachers were all proud and smiling. While the students were bored and wanted to finish the speech soon. When the Principal finally congratulated us and ended the speech, the graduates cheered up. The whole venue was filled with loud cheers. I just stood there in a daze, feeling everything was unreal. Today is my graduation from senior high. After I woke up from the coma, I have undergone treatment for two months before I got discharged. When I tried to go back to school, I learned that the entire school got banned and the Miguel family who tortured me so much had been punished severely. Alejandro and Claire were in jail while the recent news about Ella was that she had killed her husband and she was facing a trial. The old man's relatives won't let her go and will make her life worst. She won't be able to bother me anymore. Many things changed after I woke up. The things I wanted to b
