Chapter 200: What This Magic Can Accomplish

Eleonore’s POV

I paused. A thought crossed my mind, something so wild and out of reach, that I thought it might just work.

Ronin had only said that in order to block my magic, to seal it up completely, was the only way to stop this demon. But I didn’t want to do that—I didn’t want to give up the one thing that protected me and my family, I didn’t want to be open and vulnerable again in this world that held so many threats to it. I wouldn’t allow that.

But that wasn’t the only way to stop the demon. That wasn’t the only extreme I could take.

I stared at Viktor as his eyes were glossed over, that wicked sludge of the demon protruding more and more from the surface and body of his. And then I took Michael’s blade and struck myself with it hard and fast.
