I will not die a Villainess's death-Chapter 238 237: A Sneak Peak [Pt1]

'Ugh, there is no end to these monsters. Just where are all these things popping off from? Is there some kind of portal that I am missing? I asked every place to be checked.'

Adam stood on top of a mountain of corpses as he cleared away the way for the troops to move inwards. The hoard of monsters was just getting thicker and thicker as he marched ahead.

Many soldiers were also getting sick due to all the miasma that surrounded them. It was toxic for humans at high concentrations after all.

"Sir, we found the eye of the hoard. It's just, we cannot advance there because of all the miasma that surrounds it."

Adam sighed in relief as soon as he heard those words. Finally, this unending wave of monsters could be put to rest. And for that purpose, he did not hesitate to run right into the center of the hoard.

Since he was pretty much immune to all kinds of miasma, he was easily able to charge through to the end. It did not take half as much time as one would have thought him to take.

The soldiers around him looked stunned as Adam cleared away waves and waves of monsters with ease. They fell at a flick of his hand and did not wake up again.

This was different than anyone else around him since he was ending the monster's life.

'Just a little more. I can see the center light just fine from here.'

Adam finally managed to break through the middle point of the monster formation and their numbers fell significantly. The ones gathered in the center were also weak and smaller than the others.

They were growing up in front of his eyes into the strong steady monsters everyone else was facing. So Adam did not doubt that this center place was the monster-summoning factory that he needed to destroy.

"Fuck. where is the connecting device?"

Adam looked around for anything that looked like a summoning spell or a piece of paper. But he could not find anything.

Luckily, the sun decided to aid him just then and shine brightly over the area. The mirror in the middle of the form reflected the sun and Adam was finally able to see it.

'Mirror of Iris. What is this thing doing here?'

Adam felt sure to the bone that it was the mentioned mirror in front of him. It had a unique design and unique powers that made it impossible to forget. Now all Adam had to do was destroy the mirror

Which might turn out to be tougher than Adam expected. The monsters were weak but even they instinctively understood that the mirror was essential to their survival. And it made Adam's way tougher as well.

"You fiends. Get out of my way or I will roast you all."

Adam roared out his words but the monsters were not paying attention to his words. Or, it was more accurate to say that they could not understand what he meant. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

So the poor monsters were slain by Adam's claw. His body had transformed into his hybrid form since this was the fastest way for him to get rid of the monsters.

The more blood Adam spilled, the more his blood sang for more. He wanted to kill more and to tear apart even more from his claws.

Finally, Adam was able to reach the mirror fragment but his mind was full of blooded rage. His fist was about to smash into the mirror when he stopped to look inside the mirror.

He was not sure why he did such a thing and why his instinct asked him to do it either, but there was a nostalgic feeling when Adam looked inside the mirror.

Black hair and blue eyes blinked back at Adam and he stared back at the beautiful face. It looked like Lucas Dirac but lovelier for some reason.

And then the face looked back at Adam and blinked again before panic fluttered across the female's face.

"No, wait. Don't go now. Elysia Dirac, listen to me-"

But the screen in the mirror went blank. There was no one else inside the mirror anymore but Adam's expression showed someone who had finally found heaven.

As soon as Adam had seen Elysia's face, he knew that Elysia was someone he had been searching for all his life. Just one look had been enough to send his instincts roaring and he wanted to hold her close.

As a result, Adam forgot all about smashing the mirror and held it closer to his body. His powers kept the portal close but the monsters still existed in this world.

He was sure that a lot of people would die as a result of his not smashing the mirror. But all this world could die if it meant getting that lovely smile back.

//////////////////////////////////////////////

Elysia panicked as soon as she noticed Adam's face. Her heart skipped a beat in fear as well as a remembrance when she looked into Adam's golden eyes.

Elysia had not thought she had any emotions left inside her now but looking at Adam had sent her down a spiral road of doubt. She no longer knew if she felt anything or not.

"Elysia Dirac, are you kidding me? What did you do to make all my plans fail?"

Axia roared as he entered the white space that Elysia occupied. For the first time in her life, Elysia saw Axia show anything other than disinterest. He was pissed off to see Elysia and her involvement.

"I don't know what you are talking about Axia. I did not do anything. In fact, I did not even leave this white space."

Elysia tried to appear as if she did not know anything but her heart skipped a few beats as she tried to contain her worry. She was afraid that she had been found out and her heart would just not sit still.

Axia's eyes made her feel like he could see through her and what she had done. This fear was lingering inside her heart and she had no idea what to do with it. Should she even speak up?

In the end, it was Axia who decided to turn away from her.

He was the one who knew Elysia's condition better than anyone else. So he knew that she could not escape this vast expanse of white around her. She would live here for eternity.

So it was likely not her who aided the other world's consciousness.

"You are right. I don't know why I convinced myself that you wanted to stand against me. I am sure you will not do anything foolish to betray me since it would eradicate your chances of gaining freedom."

Elysia had a sinking feeling in her stomach as she heard Axia's words. She was well aware that she was doomed if he ever knew the truth.

So Elysia would have to try her best to never let him find out.

"You are right. Everything I do is for the fulfillment of my own goals and desires. Nothing else matters as long as I gain my freedom."

Elysia had always believed this to be the truth. And yet, this time it felt like a lie she was trying to convenience herself with. Her mouth tasted bitter when she was done speaking.

But at least Axia looked relieved and happy to hear Elysia talk. And this was what mattered in the end. He was convinced that Elysia was someone under his command.

"Anyway, since we are done with the first part of our plan, I don't think there is a need for us to be worried. You need to track down that running consciousness in this world and you will get what you want."

Elysia knew why she was needed now. It was because she was the only person who could move freely in the world but also had divine protection.

She did not exist in this world anymore but her essence was still left behind due to her usage of large-scale magic.

'Such an unpleasant sensation it is to be used again. But I guess I don't have a choice anymore here. At least, this time it is on my terms.'

It was worse than being a kid and not knowing better. This time, Elysia's situation made her feel how helpless she was in front of her circumstances. And it sucked for her to be stuck like this.

But there was no need for her to complain. Her time for retribution would come soon. All Elysia needed to do was hold on.

'Hopefully, everything would work out well in the end. I don't have much of a choice in this matter anymore.'

Everything was finally beginning to move in the direction it was supposed to in the beginning. Those who were responsible for what was happening would also come running out once their plans were in danger.

And the world was turning a new leaf now.𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
