Chapter 224 - How Did You Do It? (16/20)

"How did you do it?" Yuri's voice finally entered my ears. It seemed like she had finally composed herself after becoming a crybaby.

"Uhm, well, it is a little complicated." I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly

"I want to know to. What did you do?" Rose looked at me with a rare glint of curiosity in her eyes. Her eyes were practically sparkling even though her tone of voice did not show any of the same enthusiasm that appeared in her eyes.

'Oh wait.. That is her soul energy, not her eyes' I practically gave myself a spiritual facepalm for forgetting to turn off my divine eyes.

"Okay well, I have to start with the beginning of the battle. At the start, I purposely riled you up by saying things about your dead teammates. You of course fell for it and then I put you into a light illusion which has become extremely easy after you got all angry. Later you used throne world and since I knew it would be a tundra, therefore filled with trees, I could easily execute my second plan..." I smiled mysteriously 

"And that was?" I could hear the impatience in Rose's voice as she crossed her arm before tapping the floor with her foot and tapping her crossed right arm with her left finger.

"Well, as we circled each other, I took advantage of the fact that the trees covered for me the whole time. Every time I would get out of her sight, I would switch between being an illusion, a light clone, and my real self. At a certain point, Yuri got angrier than I had expected and attacked my light clone. A bit after that, I combined my light clone and the illusion to give you a sense of an equal fight the whole time. Eventually, it gets to the part where you dash to my clone's right before slicing his head clean off." I paused for a breather and continued under everyone's gazes.

"After I just used the illusion to spill blood all over the place and you, therefore causing you to have a mental breakdown and consequently destroying the throne world without forcing it to close or shatter..." I smiled proudly, yet for some odd reason, everyone had a different expression.

While Rose was looking at me suspiciously, Yuri looked at me with a trace of hatred, probably because of what I had made her go through just to break down the throne world. Olivia on the other hand was looking at me with a dead smile filled with self-pity.

'I'm so weak' She inwardly cried as imaginary tears began to pour out.

[They fell for it so easily... except Rose of course. I would be deeply disappointed if Rose didn't even have the least bit of suspicion from that story. You aren't a very good liar after all hahahah]

'... You know what? One day I'll show you! I'll become the best liar in this goddamn world'

But Hela was right. Everything I had just said was a complete lie.

"You think you can win?" Yuri snorted

"Fiesty aren't ya'?" I chuckled 

"I know exactly where you are at all times as long as you stay in my throne world. The worst thing for you is that you can't even use that little trick of yours, what was it called? The lightning of absolution, right?" She smirked

"These trees are pretty cool, don't you think. They are made completely out of mana yet they look so real" I complimented making Yuri's frown deepen.

'These trees are made of mana... If I play this well, I can distract her just enough to do it...'

[The timing has to be perfect. I've already done all the calculations, All I will do now is upload the information into your brain, allow you to digest it, and then let you finish her off]

'Again, we are not killing her.' I sighed

[I didn't say kill!] Hela cried out in injustice

'You implied it dumbass. Anyway, just do your uploading'

for the next few seconds, I would speak while circling around making sure that I was not in her vision for too long, at least until the information finishes uploading. 

The moment I raised my arms and said "You are the one who chose to fight me. All I wanted was a spar", I was already done with the uploading and had already digested all the information while only using 30% of my mental power.

It was also then that I had started to walk slower while making sure that everything I said would aggravate her in so sort of way shape or form. It immediately worked, causing her to dash towards me and try to kill me, yet, I was simply too many steps ahead of the enraged snow princess.

5 Minutes later

"I... Won't... Let... You... Get... Away... With... This..." She panted

"Really? Cuz' it seems like I am winning" I chuckled

It was the instant she looked up and made direct eye contact with me, that she lost. From that point on, unless she knew some kind of way to break out of what I had put her in, there was no way she would have won. 

'Eyes of Vanity' My eyes spread into a 3 dimension shield of David that spun around my shrunken pupil.

Yuri was put under my skill within the time it would take me to snap my fingers, and there was no way out. 

The first thing I did was create a light puppet that I could control the movement of. I made sure that instead of seeing a light puppet, she would see me as faces of the people she hated the most in this world flashed across the puppet's face.

Eventually, when she cut off the puppet's head because I had let her, I used my eyes of vanity to create a world she would consider hell. A world where her biggest phobia would surround her while giving her no way to run away,

The moment she sobered up and had realized she had killed me, she looked down to see the decapitated head lay there with a lifeless expression with its eyes rolled up. Yet, the moment she looked at, the eyes began to move on their own and made eye contact with Yuri.

"Why did you kill us?" my decapitated head asked her but she did not answer.

"Why didn't you save us..." The world around her turned into a sea of blood. Countless bodies could be seen floating on top of the water wearing different clothes, coming from different races, and even being of different colors. 

Throughout the entire sea of blood, the only large similarity they all had was the fact that their eyes were open and their bodies were motionless. Yet this did not stop them from looking into Yuri's very soul with envy and anger, as if she had something they deserved to have more than her.

"Why did you kill us?" 

"Why didn't you save us?" 

"Why did you choose them over us?"
