Chapter 111: Willpower

"Without mana and with the soul collar around her neck, what can she do"

Though Blake knew Lena still had a bit of danger to her, this was the question he had asked himself and as much as he had estimated the woman, he had not expected to descend to the sight of several rankers lying down around Lena who sat on a brown chair in the middle of the grand hall.

Though Blake hadn't gotten to moving around it much, after complimenting Rita's mansion, the woman had given him a breakdown of how it was built.

The mansion of the governor was divided into three sections, the left right and middle sections.

The left wing of the mansion served as its administration area, the right served as the living quarters and then the middle section had the grand hall and few other places that could be considered somewhat public areas.

With a wedding having been primed to happen in the grand hall, when Blake and Rita descended the stairs which led from the left side of the mansion directly to the grand hall, they were met with the sight of several men dressed with and without armour surrounding Lena who was first surrounded by a few unmoving bodies.

"Governor" a bulky man who had on iron armguards and chest plate quickly called as he moved up to Rita, relief on his face.

"For a moment we were worried something had happened to you when Illinoi didn't immediately come back.

Is all okay"

"I was taking care of a very critical matter,"

"Yes, Robert informed us" the man said with a nod of his head glancing at Blake who was behind her.

Apparently, entry into the section of the mansion that housed Rita's office was extremely limited and with Robert having vouched that Blake and Rita were having a very important conversation, despite the critical issue down here, no one else had come to check up on her after Illinoi.

"Speaking of Robert, where is he" Rita asked as she moved forward and closer to Lena, the men in front giving her a wide berth, Blake following behind.

Well-dressed and exuding an air of confidence, Rita walked till she stood at the front of the encirclement around Lena, stopping and listening to the man beside her.

The name of the man speaking to Lena was Ling and he was the head of security of Rita's mansion and also the strongest individual in the city after Rita.

The man explained to Rita how at the moment the entire mansion had somehow been sealed up in a barrier with no one able to go in or go out.

Ling further explained to Rita that the area around Lena was a no-go zone to all of them as there was a powerful force around her that made anyone who tried going close to her fall unconscious.

Rita listened to Ling's words and when he was done, she told him and the rest of the men to stay put and then moved forward, her every step cautious as she got closer to Lena.

All this while Lena had her head rested in her palms and her eyes closed, but when Rita moved and was about 5 meters from her, she opened them and turned to her before then turning to Blake who hung at the back amongst the men.

"Why are you standing so far from me, aren't you interested in why I returned?"

While Lena spoke to Blake, Rita kept moving closer to her, but then suddenly the woman froze as an aura which reeked of death engulfed her, paralyzing her and filling her eyes with darkness.

Immediately, Rita had her mana bursting out of her, but the only thing it did was help her keep standing, her body frozen with the fear of death.

"Powerful right" Lena said crossing her leg over the other, "now imagine me imbedding such a powerful will into my mana."

Blake had planned for Rita to deal with Lena primarily so she could test the waters but to his shock, Lena had frozen the third order being with just the strength of her will and then now she was telling Blake that despite him pushing her to the wall, she still wasn't totally defenceless.

Embedding one's will into their mana wasn't something Blake had ever heard of or thought of, but considering that he could also imbed his will into his blood now that he was a blood demon, he couldn't also say Lena was lying.

At this moment, the encirclement of soldiers had gone silent as they all watched the unbelievable sight of their governor also being casually dealt with by the enemy.

Blake didn't blame them for being surprised as even he who had an inkling of Lena's heights had been surprised, but while they looked at each other and mostly towards him and Ling hoping for the both of them to get Rita out of her predicament, Blake connected with a power that should not be in him.

Blake observed Lena as the minutes went by, calmly staring at her, doing nothing when she began talking.

"When a dungeon master dies, that dungeon along with its fairy ceases to exist. Luckily for you, though I didn't totally kill Kate, she is still alive and this also means...."

Lena had thought right, Blake truly did value the dungeon beside Caramal Town and truly wished for Kate to be alive, but then she had made a mistake thinking Blake could not do without her.

Whatever the reason, since Lena had clearly proven that she was not a force that could be controlled or reasoned with, then it meant that it was time to go.

Before Lena could finish her sentence, Blake closed the distance between them in a burst of speed, the golden sword appearing in his hand and with it glowing he pierced it into the seated Lena.

Blake's sudden actions caused everyone to look at him in surprise, relief filling the faces of all present when the glowing sword set the body of the seated woman on fire her entire body ablaze and before their eyes, she began burning up in golden flames.

Lena had a surprised look on her face as Blake stabbed her and when her body began burning, her skin quickly breaking off and being turned to golden particles, a crazed look filled with hate appeared on her face.

Lena wanted to speak, but the best her lips could do was tremble. Lena found herself unable to move a muscle and as Blake ended the woman for the second time doing it more thoroughly this time, he felt relief at having put out a burning fuse like Lena.

Behind Blake, Rita who had gotten free after Blake stabbed Lena walked and stood by his side and though her breathing was quite heavy, overall, she was alright.

Together, Blake and Rita watched as Lena was burnt to ashes, the woman erased from existence within minutes and leaving behind a spotless chair.
