Chapter 68 68 – Reason to Attack

Elise caught her breath. Her eyes focused on the enemy.

“Fight her more carefully, Elise.” Raymund used his low voice again. “Don’t make any useless moves.”

The dark Elise grinned. “Aah, you heard the voice of the god, didn’t you? It’s so weird. I can’t hear it, even though I’m you.”

“Don’t be influenced by her.” Raymund reminded. “Focus.”

This time, the evil twin took the initiative to attack. She swung her sword horizontally. Elise dodged and gave a counter-attack. The female warrior’s movements were now more controlled, overwhelming her opponent. Elise took advantage of that opportunity to use a combination of slash and stab.

“Finally, you’re back to being a proper warrior, Elise!” Despite being unable to counter-attack and pushed back, the evil twin laughed.

However, Elise’s movement stopped when she got close to the fire. The evil twin hit Elise’s nose with the bottom of the sword hilt. Elise lost her balance with a bloody nose. Then, the female warrior received a hard kick in the stomach. Her body rolled backward again.

The Dark Elise then ran, preparing to point her sword forward.

It was a pose for charging thrust, and Elise had not fully stood up, even though the tip of her enemy’s sword was already very close to her.

“Now, Elise!” Raymund screamed..

Elise managed to stand up straight in no time, a sign that she was just faking it. She dodged the attack, then swung her sword from the ground up while jumping high.

Rising Slash.

“Arrgggghhhh!!!” Instead of splitting apart, the dark Elise’s body was carried upwards, a sign that she still had magical energy protecting her body.

However, Elise wasn’t done yet. She twisted her body in the air.

Whirlwind Slash.

Elise’s sword continued to slash at her twin body in midair. The enemy screamed in pain, and finally, her stomach split open, gushing fresh blood.

The female warrior landed on the floor with both feet while her twin fell down with a terrible cracking sound.

Instead of whimpering in pain, the dark Elise laughed like a madman. “Amazing! You are great, Elise! I know that because I am you!”

With a cold gaze, Elise came to her enemy. “Don’t compare me to you.”

The dark Elise smirked as Elise’s sword stuck to her neck.

“I attacked because I wanted to kill you.” The evil twin vomited blood from her mouth. “You are the same, right?”

The blood from the evil twin’s stomach was pouring more and more on the floor. She vomited blood again and said, “Ah, don’t think that if you kill me here, then I will vanish. I will still be inside you….”

The evil twin’s gaze went blank. Her chest no longer moved. Elise looked at her enemy’s face without saying a word.

And Raymund also fell silent.

“Congratulations, you have completed this test.” The deep voice of the dungeon sounded again, followed by the disappearance of the flames around Elise.

Elise frowned. “Test?”

“The test to see if the darkness in your heart has no potential to destroy this world.”

“What do you mean?”

Suddenly a figure with blonde hair was thrown from the darkness of the passage, landing a few feet from Elise.

The female warrior recognized the figure as Dale, the healer she had met near the dungeon entrance.

“Help me!” The small man crawled to Elise. His face was filled with terror. “This place is insane! We have to get out of here!”

“Aaah…” Elise groaned in pain while holding her head. Her brain was suddenly crammed with memories that didn’t belong to her. Those memories were so horrific and made Elise’s body shudder. “How could that be…. How can a human do such things?”

Dale grabbed Elise’s leg, then pleaded. “Hey, get me out of here, please.”

Elise just looked at the man with her mouth agape.

“What happened to you, Elise?” Raymund asked.

“As you have seen for yourself, Elise.” The voice from this dungeon echoed again. “This guy named Dale uses his cute baby face and pure demeanor to attract women’s attention. Then he turns his victims into toys.”

Raymund choked. “A guy like this?”

Dale looked weak and almost childlike. Of course, Raymund couldn’t believe that story.

“Is it true that you got a woman pregnant four times, and you asked for all of them to be aborted?” Elise asked with trembling lips. “And you did that just because you wanted to have sex with a pregnant woman?”

Dale winced like crazy, removing his hand from Elise’s leg.

“You already know, right?” The voice from the dungeon continued. “There are several women who ended their lives because of this bastard. The world would be better off without people like him. Like your parents, this man makes others suffer.”

Dale inched backward with eyes starting to well up with tears. “No…”

With empty eyes, Elise raised her sword again.

“Elise…” Raymund was speechless.

“Don’t! Don’t kill me!” Dale frantically crawled away from Elise, but the female warrior easily caught up with him.

Elise’s face turned violent again, and she stabbed Dale’s back, causing the healer to let out a thunderous scream.

The female warrior twisted her sword, causing that man to flinch, then lay motionless.

She then looked at her hands, which were not shaking at all. Yeah, it wasn’t the first time she’d committed a murder.

“This is the end. You deserve a reward.” The voice from the dungeon informed. “Go to the end of the hall.”

Instead of following orders, Elise knelt down while wincing in pain. She suffered from great exhaustion. Because of the chain of intense events, she had only just realized the immeasurable pain in her wounds.

“This is the end of the dungeon. I don’t think you need to fight anymore.” Raymund heaved a sigh of relief. “Take your time. Rest until you are strong enough.”

Elise glanced at something glowing yellow at the end of the hall. Wanting to get out of there immediately, she forced herself to get up, drew her sword from Dale’s back, then started walking.

She had stopped to check on the corpse of her evil twin, which had disappeared without a trace.

“Woof!” The dog who had woken up came to Elise.
