The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 120 - Farewell

Clara looked suspiciously at the black fog that was moving in one direction only. As if something was causing them to gather, was the trigger in the place they were headed to?

"The moving direction is Hortensia." James commented.

Is this someone, but in Hortensia? Is Jean because she can magic too?

Clara shook her head, throwing away all sorts of bad thoughts. Jean can be a bit of magic, but Clara is sure that Jean does not have the same advantages as her. It absorbs black magic.

And again, this ability that Clara has she got from Lyserith. Which Clara still has a fate line that intersects with the White Rose Girl. While Jean, she may have gained her magical abilities from the male witch in the legends.

Is Your Majesty okay? Mr. Hendrick and the others, too... I wish there was a chance for me to meet them again. Really, I'm tired of all this fighting.

Clara tried to stand up. He was a little grateful as the black fog blocking the visibility grew even more faint. But that was not a good thing because the black magic was moving awkwardly towards one place.

Ah, I remember. Hortensia contains a lot of black magic. Her blue rose might have turned black by now as black magic from outside entered the region.

[Hortensia is really crazy!]

Huh uh? Claire's?

[Master! He has returned! Lavoisier in the legend, the owner of black magic. He took back his magic to exterminate the entire human race in this Herbras Continent.]

Clara was stunned to hear it. But as much as possible he was calm, now was not the time to run away - panting like crazy even though he often did it before his soul moved into this world.

Who do you mean, Claire?

[He is a Crater. Crater de' Lavoisier!]

...****...

A clanking sound was heard in the air. George is trying to die - dying to withstand the onslaught of the madman who is obsessed with this revenge.

He thought, George needs to do something to keep this man from collecting black magic. Because the black magic that fused and became more concentrated would make it more difficult to conquer.

But when George started attacking him, this man always easily held him back and beat him back.

I don't know, he does have a grudge against everyone in the Herbras Continent due to the death of his brother, his family and his lover.

"Lavoisier is a curse. The phrase was coined by the bajing*n who considered themselves the most sacred. Haha! They're even dirtier than I thought."

George also continued to hold his ears to be stronger to hear every utter rant from this madman. Restrained his own mouth from replying to her with all the pearl words he remembered.

Remember, George had learned a lot to be more patient when he was at Vinca. Because when he was still in Freesia, George often threw oaths to everyone except his own father.

How's he doing now? Did Clara decide to kill him?

George gasped as his left arm received a deep puncture wound. His eyes glanced at the wound, there was a stream of blood coming out of it.

"You should focus on me. If you think of anything else while fighting me, doesn't that mean you underestimate me?" The man said in a dislike tone.

"If I wanted to, I could kill you in ten seconds." Reciprocity.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yep."

The man closed his eyes in a flash, and as he reopened his eyelids. The two rubies were shining, glittering as though lions had found their prey. A wide grin was clearly plastered on his lips.

"I'm Lavoisier, loh~"

George was silent. Not because the man managed to hypnotize himself, but there was another looker who distracted him.

"Someone stopped it?" George asked - asked.

"Ck. I should have killed him first before absorbing Ivory's relics. Even if they were the same person, I wouldn't think of them as my Ivory." Furious the man.

"What do you mean the girl you love and Clara are the same person? I know she's just the reincarnation of the White Rose Girl." George swerving.

The man chuckled softly, "You don't know? The White Rose Girl was Ivory's reincarnation. That's why my brother got close to her. That's because there's an inner bond between them as fellow Lavoisier."

...****...

Claire's? Are you sure you want to stop him this way? I mean, if black magic is lost with you too then I will be.

[Stop talking Master nonsense. He could not be stopped directly because he could control black magic. This is the only way we can do it.]

Clara finally shut up and complied. The plan is they will divert the black magic to be absorbed into Claire while the thing that is the purpose of the black fog stops absorbing it. Claire thought that something dangerous would happen if this situation continued to be left.

"Sister Rara? You're okay, aren't you?"

"Bright, James. Yep. I'm fine."

James looked at Clara with worry. While he was guarding Duke Nielsen, hoping that she would soon awaken. Clara kept silent while lowering her head. Both of his hands were clutching his chest tightly.

James himself was actually quite surprised when a faint black fog entered Clara's body. But since Clara said this was part of her plan, James could only keep quiet and look at her.

Iris Clara who had turned into lapis lazuli seemed to imply pain. While his left eye that has been damaged with a cloth, James did not know how the condition of Clara's left eye. Because the eye has been completely hollow and will leave a deep enough mark.

Clara lowered her head. He felt like his head had been pierced by thousands of needles, and he even started to vomit blood from absorbing black magic for too long.

"Sister Rara!"

James approached Clara and began to hug her tightly. Now he's starting to fear losing someone again. Clara is a big sister and a surrogate mother to him. I hope that girl stays healthy. Clara can't leave her like her mother did.

Claire's? Hey. answer my call.

Clara starts to get upset when Claire doesn't answer her call. He doesn't know what it would be like now if Claire really ended up as planned.

I should have turned down his request and looked for another way.

As Clara shed her tears, a sense of warmth spread throughout her body. No, it's not James' embrace. The silhouette of a faint-looking woman was faintly hugging Clara from behind the girl.

The woman whispered something in Clara's ear.

"Not even half of it. But, I've been struggling to disappear with him. I hope you can continue the mission of Lyserith and myself."

Whahuh? Claire, don't talk nonsense anymore! Didn't I warn you! I. i...

"I'm sorry, Master. For letting you fight alone in this cruel world. Please protect this world, like a starry sky that gently envelops at night."

The more faint the white silhouette was, and it flashed into a star that hung in the darkness of the night. The only thing that shines in the dark envelops.

The cloth that closed Clara's left eye gradually disappeared. Slowly Clara opened her left eyelid. There looks a beautiful ruby color decorate, replacing the charm of sapphire that has been lost due to deep wounds.

Clara tightened her grip on James's clothes. While the man was still faithfully calming Clara down in his arms. The black magic that he absorbed suddenly stopped and they again moved towards Hortensia.

I need to return to the Royal Palace immediately, then finish this stupid war. Crater de'Lavoisier, I will stop you with my sword!

Therefore, stop pitting against the people you hate. I'm sick of losing...
