71 Lost It

Angelica who was already at her weakened state was currently relying on will power to stand up and fight. But this enemy was far by the most scariest one she seen. And she meant it.

"I see you've become a dark witch that feast on humans and other races souls. And... you have an interesting new look..." Angelica thought her words were to polite and rephrased them, "maybe not interesting... how about disgusting?" She smiled.

The witch smiled and lovingly said to the little princess, "Oh dear, I really thought you would like it you know? Did you know, I made it from the the other witch I just killed. Ah... it was lovely seeing her scream as it made this knew look from her body." She smiled.

Angelica felt her mouth twitch. Does that mean-. She widened her eyes at the woman who stood before her and she jumped back even faster out of instinct, and had her shirt cut with a shallow wound.

She almost had her heart crush!! Angelica gritted her teeth and looked at Carmelina who only managed to gaze her chest with those sharp claws.

She can't fight. She couldn't even dodge properly and she knew that this witch had already fallen to deep into insanity after swallowing a witch soul.

"Princess!!" Ivan yelled but he was blocked by a force. He hit the barrier and felt a sting on his hand. A black mark appeared in his skin and it was similar to the curse that Cathal and the other two went through. He used his magic and easily dispelled the curse.

His attention was back to Angelica who's still bleeding from earlier and gritted his teeth. He must get in there!!

Angelica saw the barrier and knew that this wasn't just any barrier the black marks and demonic aura filled the inside of the barrier. She knew that whining won't help and stood up straight and cracked her neck from side to side.

"I always wanted to punch your innocent face. Please give me a good fight!" Angelica had her eyes changed colour. She smiled cruelly and had brought out her hand fan, getting ready for the battle.

The silver eyes made the sick witch even happier and she heard the most shuddering words yet in her life, "Ahh! I really love seeing that look! All I want to do is have you show me that forever!!"

Angelica might twitch and she rushed forward and give a nasty blow onto her face. Sending her flying to the barrier she made.

"Ice!" She said and sharp needles of ice formed around and headed straight for the witch who was trying to get up.

Carmelina smiled and easily dodged the needles as if she were dancing through them. She then casted her spell.

"Water Image"

A dozen images of herself formed in the barrier and they all started attacking Angelica simultaneously.

Angelica dodge and changed her fan into a sword cutting off the two heads of the images. She stepped on another crushing its head and changed her fan into a gun and blasted 3 heads of the witch copy.

Stab! She felt her back being stabbed and staggered a bit, but managed to kill two more copies with her magic gun.

She changed her fan into a spear and started moving again. She didn't care if a dagger was on her back she need to first deal with this otherwise she can't counter. Carmelina must be thinking about bringing down her stamina and she can't allow that.

Ivan tried once more to slash through the barrier but his attacks kept on eating his magic. He growled from frustration and glare menacingly at the witch who managed to injure Angelica again. He hated this. He hated everything about her being hurt. It was painful to watch and he could into desperately do so. He slashed the barrier again with his magic but it continued doing the same thing over and over again.

He knew that this was a cursed barrier and that if he touched it with his bare skin it could affect him, but...

So what?

Just as he was about to place his hand on the barrier, a arm held him back. Ivan glared at the person and found it was Cathal who did it.

"Don't you dare! You may be strong but don't make her feel worried about you while your outside!! Have fate in my teacher." Cathal said as he held onto Ivan arm tightly making sure he won't do anything reckless.

"Believe in my teacher as she is only second after you in power." Cathal seriously said and Ivan clenched his jaw tightly.

Angelica was glad Cathal stop that idiot duke. Even if she was almost on the brink of insanity, she made sure to keep a clear mind. But even if she said that...

'I'm probably just convincing myself not to turn into a monster..' she thought and felt another cut graze her face.

"The infamous witch princess that lead the Oncura War and slaughter thousands!! Is this all you have!?!!" Carmelina mocked and used her magic to punch Angelica in the stomach and sent her flying into the barrier.

Angelica felt something in her mind break hearing the word Oncura. The war had brought the most dreadful memories to her head and this time...

She lost it.

Carmelina saw Angelica down and used her magic to hold her down. But she didn't know the witch was right behind her when she felt some kick her hard in the stomach.

She was slammed right into the barrier and coughed out blood. Her she touched her chest and found out that 3 ribs broke from the kick. She widened her eyes and wondered what the her happened to the weak princess.

Angelica's magic went berserk and her the looks on her face changed into a crazy smile. If not almost looking insane with her blood covering her body. Her spear transformed back into a fan and she causally waved it.

The ground was rip apart by that one swing and Carmelina had dodge it just by the neck.
