[BL] Seducing Male Leads To Survive As A Villain In A Novel-Chapter 352: End It

Kyle’s lips bled as he flew backward and crashed deep into a wall, shattering it.

His whole face had been disfigured from the blows. And just as he struggled to get to his feet, fighting the demons playing through his mind, Eden struck again.

Eden didn’t give him a minute to recover. Another hand smashed his chin; another crashed into his stomach. He flew through the air and hit the ceiling.

Eden twirled elegantly before he kicked him in the crotch, sending him flying through the hallway and crashing into the floor.

Eden stood, staring at the man struggling to rise. He sighed, "Gosh, I wish I could beat you as hard as I want to... too bad you’re in an innocent man’s body."

Eden felt stronger. And he also felt heartless in that moment. He was certain the real him might not have the heart or the will to beat up this man. Or even to fight.

He wasn’t one to fight, or someone good at it.

But after uncovering the Wizard of EL back at the mountain, he had felt like he was the Wizard of EL himself (well, he sort of is...).

But he felt the soul of the wizard in him. He felt like he was the one who went through all those things to get to where he was. He felt like it was his story. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

He felt like he and the Wizard of EL were the same person now.

Eden kept both hands behind him as he approached Kyle, who was getting to his feet. "Now, are you ready to give up, or...?"

Kyle gave him a murderous glare. "I will never back down until you’re gone..."

Eden smiled. "Interesting. I guess you really want to die here..." He laughed. "Should I just grant you that?"

*****

The Imperial Princess Cordelia was in her room when all the mess started.

Prior to that, she had already begun making plans for escape. She had tied pieces of cloth together to roll down the window and escape at night.

She had planned the time and everything so no one would notice. And she was ready to execute it tonight—before the fight started.

She didn’t know what was happening, but she could hear things being smashed outside. All she could tell was that it wasn’t just a mere fight.

But at least it could help her, she guessed. She could escape when the mess grew. No one would notice because they’d all be too busy with the fight.

She had begun taking out the rope she had made, ready to throw it down amidst the chaos and run off.

But while she was doing so, she heard a crash.

Princess Cordelia quickly looked back, only to see her room’s door crashed in and lying on the floor.

Kyle and Eden had flown past the corridor in a flash, fighting. And their fight had destroyed everything around there—including the door.

The guards there had fallen to the ground, dead.

She gasped, slowly walking to the door as she stared at the dead guards on the floor. She looked around to see everywhere in a mess.

She placed a hand over her mouth, fear gripping her as she looked around. "What’s happening..."

She wanted to be concerned. But then she recalled this was the only time she had to escape.

And without a second thought, she ran out through the door. She ran in the opposite direction of the fight, fleeing through the corridors and down the stairs.

It was an escape for her life, and she pictured it in that light. That was the only way she could run as fast as possible.

Soon she was out of the building. Luckily, because of the mess inside, there were no guards to stop or even notice her. They had all rushed in.

So she ran for her life, leaving the palace and leaving her years of torture behind. She ran without a direction or destination in mind.

She just wanted to be free.

****

The fight between Eden and Kyle lasted for half an hour.

And when they stopped, Kyle was on the floor before his throne. Battered and bruised, he placed a hand over his chest to subdue the pain running through his whole body.

He felt himself falling apart.

Eden stood before him, staring down at the pathetic figure. "You really are stubborn. You’ve always been. You just don’t know when to stop..."

When Eden stared at the Emperor, all he could see was Kyle. The young, enthusiastic Kyle who served Mr. Albert diligently with all his heart. The handsome young lad who took Lyeian as his brother and protected him from the dangers of the world while pampering him.

The same Kyle who took Lyeian as a lab rat, torturing and obsessing over his existence. One who took Lyeian through hell without letting him go.

That was the last image he had of Kyle. That was the image of Kyle he saw. And that was probably the only one he’d see forever...

"Why would I stop..." Kyle gasped, blood dripping from his lips. "They never stopped... why would I...?" He looked up at Eden.

Eden stared at him. "I hate you."

There was silence. "I really hate you and I want to kill you right now... but..." he hesitated, the words hanging on his lips.

"Then kill me," Kyle said. "Kill me and end this madness already! Just end me now while you have the chance. Do it."

Eden stared at him without saying or doing anything. He simply stared. And for a strange reason, he felt his heart sting.

All he could see was that young Kyle.

"Just do it..." Kyle muttered. "I’m already tired of everything... Just do it. Because if you let me go now... I won’t stop here. I’ll do more... I’ll continue until I get back what was taken from me. Until I end everything... I’ll continue until I get what I want..."

Eden didn’t know whether to take that as a threat or not, but he stood there, staring at Kyle. Conflicting thoughts rang through his mind.

Kill him or leave him?

He couldn’t decide.
