BXBX NOVEL Chapter 44 Despair
Lily also dropped to her knees along with the Corruptor.
That spell had drained all of the mana in her body, making her completely weak and vulnerable now.
…
The judge who was watching secretly got surprised after seeing Lily\'s spell, as she could recognize it.
\'That is a 3-star spell that takes hard work and experience to learn it. This spell is mostly learned by someone who is in the mid-stages of the Novice Realm and when someone is close to breaking through to Adept Realm. The fact she learned it at such an early stage shows that she is a genius, or she had only worked on this spell for her entire life.\'
The judge hypothesized, rubbing her chin. Then she surmised how many points she should give Lily for her display of that spell.
…
Meanwhile, Ana arrived beside Lily, grabbing her tightly, to let her stand properly. "Are you okay?"
"Yes," Lily answered softly while looking at the dead body of the Corruptor."Have we done it?"
"Not we, you." At that moment, Hueg arrived and said something to Lily, looking at her carefully. "You did it. Your attack killed it in one hit."
"Hehe." Lily chuckled embarrassedly. "No, if you guys didn\'t hold that thing down, I wouldn\'t have been able to land that spell. I am not proficient enough to use this spell instantly, I need time to set it up."
"But you\'re still good," Ana said, after leaving Lily standing properly. She was truly glad that Lily was able to accomplish such a thing in front of everyone.
Ana had heard sometimes from her Uncle Fiarta about how much Lily hated to use or learn magic. \'But it looks like something happened that changed her.\'
Another reason Ana was happy was because she didn\'t have to reveal her last card, which she wanted to save it as much as possible. Also, this spell she had yet to master might severely damage her body.
Lily was overwhelmed hearing both of their praises, as she had seen how well both did and how good their strength was, so these praises were totally unexpected for her.
But it didn\'t end there, Lily also heard what her fellow classmates were saying, who were a few meters away.
"That girl actually used a 3-star spell. That is amazing."
"I wanted to learn one myself, but it is so hard to understand the structure of such a spell."
"Hmph, she is just lucky to learn that. Did you see her using any other spell? She may have just learned that her entire life. What a waste of time!"
Lily heard admiration along with the castigations of a few. But she didn\'t pay any heed to those.
At that moment, Ana and other\'s eyes widened as they felt that dreadful aura from the Corruptor coming toward them again. They turned their heads to the Corruptor\'s body just to hear.
"He..al…"
The moment the Corruptor said that the injuries on its body healed instantly and its bones mended together, making it look as new as the first time.
"No way!" Hueg uttered it with shock. He knew demons had a great ability to recover themselves, unlike humans, but not like this!
Everyone also had this kind of belief, but it wasn\'t their fault, as Corruptors were a bit special. They too had great ability to recover themselves, but their most distinctive feature was their ability to do anything just by the command of their voice. So, when this Corruptor said the word \'Heal\', it accelerated the speed of its recovery, which could only be seen in demons in higher realms.
The Corruptor stood straight and glared at Ana, Lily, and Hueg. It growled in a hoarse tone. "You are dead."
"Kneel!" The moment Corruptor said that everyone in the vicinity knelt on the ground on their knees.
"This…" Everyone was dumbfounded by the sudden change and mortified too. This had also brought great shame to them, as they had never kneeled before anyone except to the ones who were of higher noble rank than them.
"Rip your right arm." The next command made everyone mortified as they saw their left hand moving on its own and trying to grab their right arm.
"Nooo! Stopp!"
"I won\'t do it! I won\'t do it!"
"Damn it! Why can\'t I control my arm!? Arghhh!"
Despair spread among the royal children as they were experiencing something bizarre and unnerving. They haven\'t yet started their journey and didn\'t want to end it right here.
In the meantime, the Corruptor walked slowly toward Lily, who was tearing up because she was not able to control herself.
Ana and Hueg\'s eyes widened as they felt all of their paths get blocked. They were powerless, and given the situation they were in, the teachers should have already come to their rescue by now, but there was no sign of them whatsoever.
\'Is this going to end like this?\' This question flashed inside Ana\'s mind as she started having the hallucination of giving up in such despair. But her eyes and will firmed the next second as she tried to resist the Corruptor\'s control. She tried to stand up and regain control of her arms. \'There is no way I will be giving up. I still have not asked God to bring my papa back!\'
Hueg, who was beside Ana, was having the same thought as she was having earlier. His decision was much firmer, as he didn\'t have any goal in his life to begin with. He had everything since birth, which made him not satisfied with anything, so he lived most of his life laid back.
But that thinking shattered inside Hueg\'s mind when his eyes laid upon Ana, who was resisting greatly, and the most striking was to him Ana\'s firm will that was burning in her eyes and it seemed to be spilling outside too.
\'What is driving her to burn like a glaring blaze?\' Hueg questioned himself in a daze.
