Chapter 320 - The Ark Of Broken Heart

Lovely let out her few more tears before sharply inhaling. She then gripped Ysabeau's hand.

"What do you need me to do?" asked Lovely, still sobbing.

"I need you to take my claw and stab it into my wound. Basic instinct forbids me from doing that, so I need you to help me," said Ysabeau, as she stuck out her right arm.

Her human hand then morphed and returned to its original form. A huge hand made out of bumpy lizard skin. It was child-sized, so Lovely could easily hack her hand. It was around the size of her real arm. The problem was that she couldn't.

"There's a butcher knife over there, it should be enough to cut it off. Don't worry, I got the skills to regenerate a single hand."

Lovely nodded her head and placed Ysabeau down on the floor. She rushed to find the knife and got back, still heavily breathing. She then bit her lip and hacked off the hand.

"Alright. You got it. Now, hack off a claw and stab that sucker into my wȯmb. I don't have much time, I'll explain it to you later," said Ysabeau, as she felt the Corrupt Element awakening in her.

Lovely did as she was told. She quickly chopped the claw off. She grabbed it with shaky hands and stabbed Ysbeau's wȯmb. The Bahamut let out a screeching wail, alerting the authorities nearby. But it lasted a second, and bombings were still occurring.

"So, the infection has stopped?" asked Lovely, still scared.

Worst of all, that poison must have damaged her wȯmb. So, she felt that she would be infertile for the rest of her life. But even if so, after this painful experience, would she still have the courage to have kids again?

Ysabeau kept crying as the small child tried her best to comfort the grieving mother. Lovely was starting to cough as she patted Ysabeau on the back. The Bahamut managed to pick up another scent as well. She wiped her tears and was horrified.

Lovely was coughing out blood as well. Now the roles were reversed as Ysabeau caught the child in her arms.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that you were poisoned as well," murmured Ysabeau, unable to help the poor child.

"It's alright, I got my wish of meeting you... The fight was so beautiful... Thank you..."

As quick was their greeting, so was their farewells as the life went out from the child's eyes. This was Ysabeau's breaking point. She snapped badly, transforming to her original form. Even if she had killed the murderer, there was nothing she could do. The dead can't rise anymore.

Her mind had broken out of sadness and despair as she stomped throughout the main town. She went on a rampage to kill every human she saw. There was no stopping her, bombs were definitely useless against the Bahamut's tough skin.

She wanted to believe that humans were good at heart but after what Alice had done to her, she lost it. She could not see humans as good and now her mind was hard-wired to see them as enemies. But of course, this will alert the authorities.

But they are not going to send humans after a Bahamut. No, that would be an early death sentence. Instead, they were going to ask the Mages for help to soothe the raging Bahamut. And they've decided to send their best Mage. A single being that came from one of the strongest worlds.

"Well, it has been a while since I got to test out my powers. Especially against such a formidable creature," said the Mage that was called forth.

"Make sure you are going to subdue it. Don't kill it, it'll make yourself a bad mascot for all the other Mages," ordered another Mage, as he looked out of the window.

The Bahamut was in sight but the Mages needed to move it away. If they had the fight within the town, who knows how many human lives would be on the line. The Bahamut seemed to be unaware of its surroundings as it stomped into another Domain.

"Looks like you've caused quite the commotion, fearsome beast..." said a very handsome man that stood right in front of the Bahamut's tracks.

He had a long black coat on with a white top and black pants. It was unusual to see that form of wear on humans so he must be a Mage.. He had a pale complexion and tall, muscular built.
