The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory

Chapter 123 - The Antagonist

"liying?"

Hendrick bit his lower lip until it caused a small wound. His feelings are mixed. He wanted to be angry but it was hard to scream, sad but never to cry. All this time he had been suppressing his emotions too often. He forgot how to express his own feelings.

"I dare not do it."

Hendrick kept quiet.

Realizing the silence of the poisonous tongue certainly does not bode well for Vester. That man who always rebelled against his father can't go back to that time anymore.

Hendrick let out a long breath, for a moment he turned around and stepped towards the royal hall. Or he might want to help King Ranunculus on the other side of the kingdom.

"Mr Hendrick..."

"Give me some time."

Clara looked at Hendrick with a pus. The man was getting further and further away from his sight. James beside him was also trying to fight as much as possible. Unfortunately, this army seems crazy and out of control.

As Clara stared at the thousands of troops they had yet to defeat. He gritted his teeth as his eyes saw something unfamiliar surrounding every enemy army. It was as if there was a thin, black-colored membrane wrapping around them.

Whatisit? Black magic?

"James be careful. Do not come into direct contact with them. If you can widen your distance to the enemy."

"What's? Wouldn't it be hard to kill them? Rara, I'm not a long-range fighter."

Clara stared at the enemy troops shrouded in black smoke. It's darker than the fucking fog that stopped by just now.

"alright. Just take care not to come into direct contact with them."

"Good."

Clara ran through enemy troops to find the cause of the thin black membrane. Because he realized that the membrane was not moving anywhere, maybe Clara could find out the cause in this sea of blood.

James who was left behind could only stare at Clara's departure from afar. He lost his focus and almost separated his head from his body. James rubbed his neck with a small scratch.

"You must not relax your vigilance. Right - right, deh. Did your father let you grow up unattended in addition to your status as heir to the throne?"

Lraight who had just pushed James away from the enemy's slash, killed him easily. Hearing Lraight's innuendo that was the same as his friends at the academy made him snort annoyed.

Although the deadly satire of the Ravens is better able to melt his very clean heart. Well, James learned those strange sentences from the famous strange and crazy Role.

"Although you were once a ruler. However, every ruler has a different way of leading his country."

"From the way you speak, you don't doubt."

...****...

"You... how can it be?!" Saw screeching hard.

Her screams became the center of everyone's attention. Even Crater himself was in the middle of a hot topic with King Agapanthus.

George looked at her curiously, too. This rose is a strange man. Can you recognize someone just by looking at them?

In stark contrast to him who had to dig deep memories in order to find the identity of this man as a male witch in legend. There was a conspiracy in it.

This man on the verge of sanity, Crater sacrifices himself for a married woman. Crater may have lost his mind since he found out that the woman he loved was married. Even her husband was the first Hortensian Emperor.

"Why are you yelling like that?" George was upset.

The roar turned to him with a gaze as sharp as an eagle, "You don't recognize him at all?!"

"What's? He's Crater de'Lavoisier, isn't he? It was impossible for him to have any other identity. The odds are 1."

The saw increased his sight. Then he turned to the direction where Crater was standing quietly while spreading an odd smile. It's creepy when only he himself knows the truth.

"And that 1% is the reality you have to face! He's not the Crater de'Lavoisier! Only the physical is similar. Fuck."

"I'm right, right? The leader who betrayed his own people, Meiger Schubert von Westhley?" The fierce smiling roar.

Everyone who was there was astonished at once and shocked. Likewise with George who was silent in silence, he noticed every move from Crater that was quite suspicious and familiar in his eyes.

Crater chuckled, he raised his bangs. And what makes people even more surprised is when the golden mane changed into pitch black. Like the night sky is decorated with only one star.

"Bingo. Your guess is accurate. I have long since grown tired of playing the fair and wise character of the emperor. I'm sorry I can't take care of you, I have other business that can't be delayed."

...****...

Clara is still trying to penetrate Vinca's defense which turns out to be difficult to break through if only she herself. For only by looking from afar could Clara know how ready they were to receive any kind of attack.

How do I break through them? I'm lacking black magic. If I'm willing to use it, I'm not necessarily able to defeat them. At least, everything should be settled in the present generation. Feeling sick if I hear 'reincarnation because the business is not finished'.

When Clara was busy in her mind. A person with his lightning-fast movements cut through the organs of each troop or pierced directly into parts of their brain.

Clara had a lot of surprises. When that person started to cast more black magic to control the thoughts of the enemy members.

Pimply. It's getting worse!

Clara tried to hold her own breath as the man began searching for another target for her to shred her organs. It's freaky. Usually he was never this scared when facing a crazy enemy.

Feeling that it would be risky to keep pushing forward, Clara slowly took a step back. He also as much as possible does not cause sound or tread dry leaves and twigs.

"He~ There's a rat who wants to escape..."

Clara flinched for a moment, she felt that what the man was talking about was himself. The feathers immediately bristled. His steps immediately stopped even though he had not taken a few steps away from this cursed place.

Damnit. Know this I dragged James with me. At least I'm not afraid of being alone.

But Clara felt awkward hearing that voice. He thought he had heard his voice before somewhere.

TRANG SRING!

Clara's good reflexes allowed her to feel that someone was attacking her from behind. Clara deflected the sword eyes that were about to slice through her skin.

STAB

"Guah...!"

Clara lost quickly to him. He managed to move and pierced through Clara's heart from behind. Clara's mouth began to bleed so thick. Especially the part where he was stabbed. The golden sword that stuck out in front of him was covered in blood, clearly visible to Clara.

Heh?

"I was sad at first because you were Ivory. But, you said it yourself if your name is Clara, right? So, I can kill you without feeling sad."

This sound...

Clara glanced slightly back. He could capture the silhouette of the man's face that had a mane as close as the starless night sky. Clara knew exactly who had such physical features. His heart completely stopped after seeing a ruby flash.

Impossible...

"With this, I can avenge Ivory's death."

"...Your Highness...?"

TB

Still interested in prolog? Lilia once said that the Emperor was the real antagonist in Flower's Girl because Dark Clara could not be killed. It was a loud clue in the main story that the main antagonist was the Emperor while Willem was just a side villain.

The story has entered a climax. Resolutions soon and over!

So, see you in the next chapter ~
