Chapter 550: Judgement day-III

Mila was unexpectedly stronger than all other dark sorcerers. She was even stronger than Thomas who had been taken as the right hand man of the Dark Sorcerer Lord. She didn't fail to keep up with the attacks Ian charged but she couldn't go against him quick enough either. 

"You were a human before. Who taught you to take up taboo magic?" Ian questioned as an electric current thundered beside him which he swiftly dodged. His eyes then looked at the ground that cracked after being hit by the thunder.

"Someone. I prayed to God and he came to save me," answered Mila and although she was vexed by how her ability couldn't hit Ian even for a bit while she had been thrown across the ground for the fifth time, she didn't let herself to be overtaken. 

She knew Ian was strong. He was a high demon and she had expected this all. It was why she had kept her trump card to herself.

Thinking about her trump card, a smile crawled across her cheeks. 

The fight went on for a long five minutes. Elise who had been closing her eyes finally open her eyes again. 

I can't be like this, thought Elise in her own mind. Crying and feeling guilty was what to be expected from her kind heart but while Mila had her reason, she had to protect her own family, her happiness, and her most treasured person.

Her blue eyes deepened to an almost purple color as a tinge of red mixed with it. 

After some more rounds of chasing where Ian would jump from one wall to another to chase after Mila who kept to make the fight to her advantage by putting distance to them, Ian was finally able to push Mila into the corner after making her surrounded by thick circular barrier of fires. 

Mila who couldn't escape the fire that surrounded her, used her power to suspend on air and it was then when Ian who had expected her to run on air took her by her neck. 

"You will meet a terrible death," Mila curse as she coughed, around her neck, five fingers mark reddened on her skin. "Do you think that prophecy where Elise would kill you is false? It will happen sooner than you thought like today," chuckled the woman evilly, trying to drag time. 

But Ian had read through Mila's plan away ahead of her and he didn't indulge to the small talk. "I was prepared to die on her hands the moment I kissed her." answered Ian in a calm manner. He prepared his hand to take the woman's heart without another discussion as he was aware that the words coming from the woman would do 

"I will make you regret what you have done!" Mila yelled, she raised her hand as her last form of distance. From behind them five circular marks appeared on air and from it a large purple icicles lunge forward to rain an attack to Ian.

Ian managed to caught three out of five while from behind, Elise's shadow had taken hold of the rest two of them. 

Elise stared back at Mila, her heartache was still raw on her heart but she had grew numb over it. 

"I won't let you," whispered Elise and Mila who watched her instead of being scared to face the two high demons instead had a very wide smile on her lips.

"Try then. I will see how this play out as the last one to laugh," answered Mila as if she could already see the outcome of the fight.

Ian respected Elise's decision to fight as it was not something she could easily done. Others might be able to close their eyes and let their hatred of being betrayed wash over the sadness but to Elise it was hard and that was what made her a human. 

To Elise, Mila was the figure of a mother after Adelaide who she couldn't remember much.

The betrayal she felt was much more agonizing as Elise had trusted the woman to be her own family.

For Elise to now stand on her ground and go against Mila only prove how strong she was as it was a choice that was difficult for anyone to take.

When Elise joined the fight, she didn't managed to exchanged a lot of words with Ian. However, they fought hand in hand while assisting one another perfectly as if their instinct knew what they should do to help one another to reach a higher level of their power.

In between the fights, Elise saw how one attack of Mila can cause the entire ground to break. "How could she be this strong?" 

Ian who had came next to her, narrowed his eyes, "She has sold her soul to the taboo magic. The stronger she becomes it would also mean in the next growing seconds, her soul is slowly leaving her body away."

Elise looked at Mila again. She was unable to comment on anything other than knowing that Mila had been preparing for this all the time. She had prepared to die for good in order for her revenge.

With the fight continuing, neither side was backing down. As Ian had told her, Mila's power grew stronger for the next running minutes. When the woman float, Elise who didn't have wings couldn't fight up on the sky. Instead, she used Jett to pull Mila back to the ground, preventing her from doing any long-ranged attacks. 

When Mila fell, she cursed seeing Elise who looked at her with a serious face. The shadow crawled on her ankle, pulling her across the ground. Not wanting to be pulled toward the demons, Mila whispered another spell.

Elise saw the circles appearing all around Mila again. This time there were more circles in number than before and when the purple icicles came out from the circles, it was thinner but more annoying as they had multiplied in number. 

Elise raised her hand, letting Jett to spread wide into a wall to protect themselves against the icicles. In the meantime, Ian went to caught Mila again by her neck. The woman raised her hand toward his face as she was trying to blast his face but Ian had in return used his palms to burn the woman's hand. 

A scream echoed from Mila's mouth but she didn't stop and once again tried to do the same thing with her other hand that only led for Ian to blast the woman's hands and legs. While she screamed in pain, Mila had looked upward on the sky. The ground she had fallen on had changed from the edge of the garden to middle where they were now on the field of the blooming white Chrysanthemums.

"H-help," Mila whispered while looking at somewhere behind them.

One of Ian's brows raised at the woman's plead; questioning who was the woman pleading to, "I will see you again in Hell," he offered his sincere words and lunged his hand toward the woman's chest ready to dig out her hands when instead, Ian felt a deep thrust on his chest.

His eyes widened while feeling the iron taste on his mouth as blood flowed down from his lips. Slowly, his eyes looked down on the fair hand that had went across his chest. His eyes slowly turned to look behind, morphing into a surprised expression. 

While Mila who was on the ground had a wide smile across her lips as she had finally reached her long plan of revenge.
