Chapter 548: The Vision that came true.

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Jeanne was awoken by a loud thumping sound in the distance, and she slowly opened her eyes as she groaned in pain. Her head felt like being crushed and she had a massive headache that her vision became blurry. It wasn’t just because of the headache, but because her face was on the ground and the dirt was in her eyes.

She heard people cheering and she was wondering why they were cheering so loudly. The moment her eyes could see things clearly, she saw Mykel was being held on the collar by Asmond. He was lifted from the ground, and his face was covered with blood and looked like it was his own blood.

She wanted to help but her body felt so weak that she couldn’t even lift herself up. She watched as Mykel was slammed to the ground and Asmond was punching him as he sat on top of Mykel. She started to groan and tried to attract Asmond’s attention so he could stop beating Mykel up.

“My… el…” Jeanne said weakly as she tried to reach her hand out toward Mykel in the distance. “My… kel…” Jeanne groaned as she tried to crawl, but then a pair of legs blocked her path.

“Stay down, Jeanne. It’s over…” Roxanne said as she looked down at Jeanne who tried to move Roxanne’s foot.

“Mykel…” Jeanne kept calling Mykel’s name and ignored Roxanne.

Roxanne crouched and blocked Jeanne from seeing Mykel getting beaten up by Asmond. She looked at Jeanne’s eyes and she could tell as a woman that Jeanne only had eyes for Mykel. It would be impossible for Asmond to change her mind, especially taking her heart no matter how long or how hard he tried.

Asmond threw a punch in Mykel’s face right in his nose and heard a cracking sound from Mykel’s nose. He just broke Mykel’s nose and he watched as Mykel choked on his own blood that he breathed in from his nose and mouth. He wasn’t satisfied yet and immediately healed Mykel until there wasn’t any injury on his body.

Asmond didn’t know how long he had been doing that, but he believed that he had done that for more than three hours. Everyone had been cheering for him and it gave him confidence that he was doing the right thing, and that all the people were supporting him.

“I’m not done yet with you, get up,” Asmond said as he stood up and made Mykel stand on his own feet by grabbing him in the hair. “This is what you said, right? Make them feel pain until they’re broken? How does it feel now? Tasting your own medicine?” Asmond asked as he clenched his fists.

“And?” Mykel weakly smiled and mocked Asmond.

Asmond punched Mykel in the stomach and then threw a left hook right on Mykel’s right jaw. He sent Mykel down to the ground and hit his head on the debris. He then grabbed Mykel’s leg and broke his ankle like breaking a twig. No matter what he did, he didn’t feel any satisfaction from it, and that was because Mykel didn’t scream nor desperately ask for help.

The reason why Mykel was still the same after getting beaten up for hours was because of his hatred toward Asmond. He blamed everything that happened to him in real life on Asmond and used that anger to keep him sane. A sliver of light prevented him from going insane, and the other reason was that the end was near. He patiently waited until Asmond decided to use his sword to kill him.

“I have tortured more lives than you can ever do. Do you think I’m going to break by your pathetic revenge? This isn’t revenge, this is nothing but child’s play,” Mykel said as he smirked and stared Asmond in the eye. “I’ll show you what revenge is like,” Mykel continued, and before he could chuckle, Asmond punched him on the cheekbone and broke his face.

Mykel laughed and made everyone look at him weirdly and believed that he had gone insane. Edith and Jeanne were looking at Mykel and they had never seen him so excited like that. It was a rare moment to see Mykel make that kind of expression.

Asmond lifted Mykel up and when he was about to punch him again, Mykel looked at Jeanne and gently smiled at her. Asmond turned around and realized that Jeanne had awoken, and she was crying when she looked at Mykel’s condition.

“I’ll be fine, Jeanne. You don’t have to worry about me,” Mykel said so calmly.

“Mykel…” Jeanne sobbed as she tried to get up, but Roxanne prevented her from getting up.

Looking at how Mykel still had the guts to speak to Jeanne and how Jeanne cared so much about him made Asmond angry. He thought it was outrageous to think that he had won the battle, but it felt like he had lost the war for some reason.

Asmond threw Mykel down and he felt like he couldn’t take it anymore when both Mykel and Jeanne were talking to each other like lovers. He slowly drew his sword and looked at Mykel who tried to stand and ended up on his knees because Asmond broke his ankles and couldn’t stand up.

“You’re done? Is that all?” Mykel asked with a smirk. “You’re going to kill me now? Then what? Rebuild Earth? Try to take Jeanne?”

Jeanne and Edith were screaming their lungs out while the others were cheering and screaming in joy. Asmond kept pushing his sword deeper and deeper until his face was right in front of Mykel’s face.

“You have lost, Asmond,” Mykel said weakly.

Asmond didn’t care about what Mykel said anymore and finally pulled the sword into Mykel’s chest and kicked him down to the ground. He slowly walked back as he watched Mykel bleed from his mouth and chest, and then he looked at the sky where the void clouds became thicker.

Jeanne was screaming her lungs out as she stared at Mykel’s dead body. Her screams were so loud that they echoed throughout the city. Her screams were so painful to hear because Asmond, Roxanne, and the others could feel the pain in her screams. Jeanne grabbed a sword from Rufus’ waist and stabbed herself in the heart. She then pulled the sword out and let herself bleed to death.

“Jeanne!” Asmond screamed as he ran toward Jeanne, but when he tried to heal her, she couldn’t be saved anymore because she pierced her heart.

They looked at a giant hand made of void clouds that came down from the sky. They were as big as the sky itself, and the fingers were as big as the skyscraper. The hand slowly shrunk itself and was small enough to pinch Mykel’s dead body. The hand took Mykel’s body into the dark clouds and everyone was cheering with excitement. The Lucifer Tower crumbled by Mara’s power and it made them all cheer more loudly and praised her.

Edith was terrified by her own ability to predict the future because it was the same as what she saw in the vision. A destroyed tower behind Mykel’s body, a flattened city around her, a giant hand that picked his body up into the sky, and lastly, Jeanne’s dead body that was in Asmond’s arms.

Although Jeanne was dead, he could bring her back to life once his [Void Sanctuary] skill was off cooldown. He was so happy that it was over, and then looked at the sky with tears in his eyes, “Thank you, Goddess of All.”

“We did it…” Rufus said quietly as he chuckled in disbelief.

Glen and the others gathered around and hugged each other in a big circle. Asmond was smiling and looking at how things were finally over, and there were no more threats. The one who didn’t celebrate their victory was Enma because she lost Gunnar.

Asmond looked at Enma and smiled at her then said, “I’ll bring him back to life, I can promise you that,”

Enma forced her smile and nodded her head with understanding.
