Reincarnation Diana

25

When Athanasia regained consciousness, she vomited blood again.

"What happened mom? Is the black magic gone?" ask Athanasia.

"Don't talk too much Athanasia, you're hurt."

"Hahaha is more comfortable in this body. Well even though this body does not have as much mana as Athanasia but this body is easier to control" said Aeternitas.

"Erez, get Athanasia out of here!" my orders to Erez.

"can't. There's no way I'm leaving you" she refused.

"Athanasia can't be here too long, Erez. Take Athanasia to a safe place first, then come back here again."

"alright. Don't die, Diana!" his sweat.

"Of course." Erez went with Athanasia.

***POV EREZ***

I took Athanasia to the evacuation site.

"God, princess what happened to you?" ask one of the servants.

"I'm fine, Lily," Athanasia replied.

"You're making me worry, princess."

"I'm sorry, Lily."

Claude ran towards Athanasia and hugged her. "Athanasi."

Athanasia returned the embrace of her father. "Dad."

"You did something dangerous this time! I'll punish you after this is all done."

"I'm sorry Athanasia, dad."

"It's important you survive."

"He survived but in his body was wounded" I said.

"You're hurt, Athanasia?" Athanasia simply nodded in response to her father's question.

I called out to someone who had bright red hair. "Hey you're the redhead."

The man pointed to himself. "I?"

"Yes." Yeah."

He also approached me. "What's up, mister?"

"You can do magic, right? Use healing magic to heal his internal wounds!" my orders.

"no need. If it's just healing magic I can do it too" Claude said.

"Whoever is I don't care. The wound was quite severe but could still be treated with healing magic. I have to go now. Treat him right." I also left that place.

***POV SAID***

Aeternitas are increasingly rampaging and brutally attacking. Lucas and I desperately held back the constant attacks from Aeternitas, but Lucas was caught off guard and hit by the attacks.

"Damn it," said Lucas.

I went straight to Lucas. "You hurt?!"

"I'm fine."

"Well, where did it come from?! Aeternity regarding vital points. I'll cure you." I tried to cure Lucas with healing magic. Surprisingly, the wound did not improve.

"Why doesn't the wound get better, too?" many surprised.

"Why? The wound doesn't get better, does it?" ask Aeternitas meledek.

Aeternitas laughs. "Hahaha it wasn't in vain that I absorbed Athanasia's mana."

I'm appalled. "You're absorbing where my son is?!"

"Yes. Not much but enough to kill Lucas. The evidence I just attacked a little bit, the wound is difficult to heal now. Your daughter's whereabouts need not be doubted."

"Why are you so obsessed with killing him?! Your father wouldn't be happy to see you like this, Aeternitas."

"Whisper you! Don't mention my father!"

"Think of your father too."

"You know what you are?! You won't understand the pain of being rejected or even humbled by someone we admire so much."

"I understand, Aeternitas. Totally understand. But even taking revenge doesn't change anything."

Aeternitas.

"Stop before it's too late. Go back to where you belong, I'll help."

"No will! I'm not leaving until Lucas dies." After that Aeternitas attacked us again.

I'm trying to contain his attack. Aeternitas is stronger than ever, probably because he absorbed Athanasia's mana.

"Diana," call Lucas.

"Shut up, Lucas. Don't talk too much. Save your strength." I said while resisting the attack from Aeternitas.

"Let Aeternitas kill me. It doesn't matter if I die anyway."

"No, Lucas! I'm not gonna let you die."

"I just need to hold this until Erez comes."

"Listen, Lucas. Stop withstanding my attack for him" said Aeternitas.

"Be quiet, Aeternitas!" my snapping.

"Why are you so trying to protect her? He's okay with having to die."

"I'll never let Lucas die."

"Why? He's nothing to you. Losing her won't have a big effect on you."

"Who said? He's my best friend. He's precious to me!" my firmness.

Aeternitas laughs. "Hahaha he never thought of you as his friend."

"I don't care. As long as he continues to be by my side then that's enough."

"Hmm it seems you're right. Killing Lucas won't be enough to avenge me on him."

"Don't fuck around Aeternitas! Just kill me and go to hell! " said Lucas.

"Killing you is not exciting because no one will suffer. Ah yes you love this empress very much, right?" ask Aeternitas.

"Don't touch Diana at the end of a finger!" persemat Lucas's.

"No, I'm not gonna do it. But I'm gonna do something even more exciting. The empress you love so much loves her daughter and her husband. Actually, there are many things that he cares about but the two people are definitely in the first place. So what if I kill his daughter and that stupid king? It's gonna be so much fun."

"Your brain is troubled huh?! What does this have to do with both of them?!"

"You're so stupid, Lucas. All right, I'll explain. You love this queen, don't you? You will suffer if this queen falls. So I will make this empress feel bad by killing her daughter and husband. Wouldn't that torture you more? And of course everyone will be sad because of that. The king and princess were the favorites of all Obelias. Hahaha, a brilliant idea, right? I can't wait to see that" he explained.

Maddened. How could Aeternitas think that far? Thought.

"Hmm where are they? I have to find him." After that Aeternitas left.

"Damn it, I have to go after him" I murmured.

"Pursue him, Diana. But be careful" Lucas said.

"But I can't leave you alone here. We don't know when Aeternitas' return here."

"He won't attack me again. As he said earlier, he'll change his target."

"But Lu—"

"Hurry, Diana. Your daughter and husband are in danger. Not just the two of them but everyone's in danger."

"Let me try to cure you again. Who knows this time it will work."

"No, Diana. Free," Lucas refused.

"Don't ban me, Lucas. Your wounds are getting worse because you talk a lot and move!" my nag.

"As Aeternitas said earlier, this wound would be difficult to heal because he used holy magic to attack me" Lucas said.

"Why is it like that?" my question does not understand.

"Which is mine is mixed with black magic so when it gets hurt by holy magic, it will be hard to cure" Lucas replied.

Ah I remember. Lucas used black magic in the past to freeze his heart from the feelings that tormented him.

"What should I do, Lucas? I can't possibly let you in here,"

"Go away. They all need you."

I'm shaking. "I can't leave you alone."

Suddenly Erez came. "Diana."

I was relieved to see Erez coming. "God, thank goodness you came on time."

"What's really going on? Why is Lucas so badly injured?" ask Erez.

"Lucas was injured due to Aeternitas. I can't heal his wounds. What am I supposed to do, Erez?" many frustrating.

"Why can't his wound be healed with healing magic?" ask Erez confused.

"Lucas said that because of where he was mixed with black magic so when he was injured by holy magic then the wound would be difficult to heal," I explained.

Erez seemed to be thinking. "I remember. I once read that mana mixed with black magic is injured by holy magic then holy magic can cure it as well."

"But my mana is not mixed with black magic. I never used black magic in the slightest but why can't I cure it?"

"I don't know either. But how does Aeternitas have holy magic?"

"He absorbed it from Athanasia."

"But doesn't that mean where Aeternities are also mixed?"

"I don't understand either, Erez."

"Aeternity can control its magic so as not to mix. He can use black magic and holy magic separately" Lucas explained.

"Then it was possible that Athanasia could cure Lucas. We have to see him now" Erez replied.

"But it's not possible for us to bring Lucas."

Erez gives Lucas magic and the bleeding in Lucas' wound stops. "I can only stop the bleeding. We better get to Athanasia soon."

Me, Erez, and Lucas teleported to Athanasia's place.
