Ch. 65.1 - Masquerade of Temptation (4)
Silence.

Jecky, who had been silent for a while, suddenly turned her head unnaturally.

And then.

"Wha-what is this? Disgusting. Disgusting! Disgusting!!! Ahhh! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is not meeeeee! Ahhhhh!!"

She screamed while tearing at her head with both arms and spitting blood.

However, no matter where she looked, her arms and legs kept appearing in her field of vision.

"Turn my arms back! Please! This is, this is too disgusting! I hate it! I don't want to live like this!!"

While screaming, she suddenly looked at Edna.

Crying tears of blood, she crawled towards Edna with terrifying speed.

Just a bit...

"Edna... please... save me... I'm begging you..."

However, now there was no way.

She had completely transformed into a dark mage, and there was no way to undo it.

The NPCs hesitated and stepped back. Reluctantly, they carved expressions of disgust on their faces.

Both noble NPCs and students, everyone.

They were distancing themselves from her.

'This, this is... not reality...'

Jecky trembled and stuttered in despair. She wanted to cover her face with her hands, but her hands had become sharp and wouldn't allow such a simple gesture.

"Please, please... Edna, please. You... you can do anything."

Until a moment ago, there was a possibility of recovery. If it wasn't complete corruption, it could have been purified.

But now it was impossible.

Edna closed her lips tightly and lowered her head.

"... I'm sorry, Jecky."

With that, the final verdict was pronounced.

"Hahaha. Hehehehe. Hehe, hehe... hehehe. Hihihihi...."

Suddenly, Jecky realized the culprit behind all of this.

"That's right."

From the beginning, if it weren't for Edna.

"It's all because of you."

"What...?"

"It's because of you. You, you, you! It's because of you!! If it weren't for you! If you didn't exist at all!!"

While screaming, she raised her arm, resembling a blade to swing at Edna, but…

Whoosh! Sizzle...!

Fiery flames and chilling icebergs shot from the sides, piercing through Jecky’s body.

"Gah... Ugh...!"

Her ability was to manipulate the opponent's mind. But could she exert her power when her own mental state was in turmoil?

She was already severely wounded and weakened by the fading barrier; she had lost most of her strength, making even such an attack fatal.

"I hate it... Why..."

Whoosh! Boom!!

Hong Bi-Yeon did not stop there, and shot another fireball.

She stepped forward as if she couldn't stand it anymore.
