Episode 459 Now You Can Shine. (3)

Belinda has finally established her own world.

The foundation of that world is the unconditional, boundless love and devotion towards Giselle and Elena.

The world she had established was being realized here.

It was the birth of a new superhuman.

Papapapapapapak!

Countless trails of light passed through Melkir.

"Kuaaaah!"

Trapped in space, Melkir could do nothing but scream and be torn to pieces.

Jiselle also felt a chill for a moment. If she were trapped inside, no one would be able to easily dodge or block the attacks.

grasp!

The daggers, engulfed in light, scattered in all directions again. Melkir's bandages were already soaked in blood and torn, revealing their contents.

"Krrrrr… … ."

Melkir's appearance was extremely hideous, with all his bandages removed. From his face to his body, he was covered in scars, and there was no place left unscathed.

The body, already covered in wounds and pus, was covered in blood from the dagger wound.

Melkir looked down at his own body and muttered with a vain look in his eyes.

"Annette… … . Annette… … . You again… … ."

Most of the wounds on his body were those inflicted by Annette long ago. They were still bruised and bursting open, oozing pus.

Because the mana core had already been broken and vitality was lost, the wounds could not be properly healed.

It was amazing how he could move and fight with that body.

Saaaaak!

A thick darkness gathered before the staggering Melkir. Even as he watched the darkness distorting right before his eyes, Melkir could do nothing.

grasp!

The darkness tore open and Belinda emerged from it.

With all her might, she thrust the two daggers into Melkir's body.

One in the heart, and one in the neck.

Phew! Phew!

"Krrrrr… … ."

Melkir, already badly wounded and staggering, was unable to stop it. All the tendons in his body had long since been severed. He was only supporting himself with his powerful energy.

Belinda said, her eyes filled with hatred.

"I really thought you were dead."

Melkir gathered up what little strength he had left and opened his mouth with difficulty.

"Kreuk… … Ugh. I'm as good as dead. Look at what I look like now."

"I didn't even know that and thought I just had to raise the young master and the young lady well. If I had known you were alive, I wouldn't have done that."

Melkir was the mastermind who destroyed Belinda's group and killed her master. If she had known he was alive, she would have lived a miserable life filled with revenge. Perhaps it was fortunate for Belinda that she did not know.

Melkir laughed and shook his body.

"Kuhehehe… … That bastard was that woman's son. And I didn't know that for over 20 years… … Hehehe… … . From that day on, everything went wrong… … The Duke's family was in a tight spot… … . How could such a coincidence happen… … ."

"It's not a coincidence. It's fate."

Yes, this is inevitable. Who would have thought that a long-ago bad relationship would manifest itself like this?

It was clear that Melkir had been saved by the Duke and the Church of Salvation. Annette's child, who had been abused by him, had grown up and become the greatest enemy threatening the Duke and the Church of Salvation.

The bad relationship between them and Giselle has been going on for a very long time.

Belinda bit her lip and continued.

"This time, you won't be able to come back to life. I'll definitely cut off your head. This time, there's no one who will help you."

"Kekekeke… … . After that girl, I got beat up by you too… … . I should have learned that secret technique… … ."

"It's not something a lowly person like you can learn."

grasp!

With those words, Belinda brandished two daggers.

Two sword blades, each bearing an aura blade, crossed and cut off Melkir's neck. No, they were about to do so.

Kaaaaang!

The dagger was blocked by the black energy rising from Melkir's wound.

"huh?"

Belinda sensed something strange and quickly stepped back.

Paaaaaaaaaaah!

Black energy began to leak out madly from Melkir's wounds. The energy quickly wrapped itself tightly around his body.

Knock knock.

Melkir's muscles began to swell and grow larger. He smiled, showing his teeth, and said,

"This is how I end up. But I'm glad that Earl Fenris is here."

Belinda's eyes twitched. She knew that phenomenon well.

This is the being called the 'temple warrior' of the Salvation Church.

Melkir's eyes began to fill with joy. He continued to speak, looking into space as if he were seeing a vision.

"Thanks to this power, I was barely able to survive. But it wasn't really living. Now I can rest in peace."

His gaze turned to Belinda again.

"Nenion and Earl of Fenris, who were Annette's descendants. I will be satisfied just by killing you two. If that happens, it will be my victory in the end."

Kwaaaaaaaang!

A huge aura began to emanate from Melkir's body. His eyes were now completely rolled back, leaving only the whites of his eyes.

Drool leaked out of Melkir's mouth as he squirmed several times.

"Geuuuuu… … Annette… … I will definitely kill you… … ."

"The target is… … . Earl of Fenris… … . Marquis Ferdium… … . Elena… … ."

"Annette… … . Belinda… … ."

Even he, who had become a superhuman, could not avoid losing his mind. The power of the Templar was that strong, and the price was high.

"Tch."

Belinda stepped back and let her daggers fly into the air again. Her wounds were severe and her mana was running low, but she had no choice but to fight the stronger Melkir.

At that moment, Jiselle, who had been just watching, finally stepped forward.

"Stop it, Belinda."

"master."

"I'll handle it now."

"But that guy!"

"That's not the man Belinda knew anymore. That man is gone. He's just something else now."

"… … ."

"Why don't you go to the castle and help Gillian? I checked with Dark, and it doesn't seem like there'll be any problems, but just in case."

"… … Are you okay?"

Jiselle chuckled.

"I told you to stop worrying."

Belinda smiled at those words.

No matter how strong or powerful Giselle becomes, she will always be a child to her.

It will probably be like that until Jiselle dies of old age. That's just how it is.

Belinda stepped back. She had to trust Giselle now. Elena was also very precious to her. She had to protect her.

"I'll go first. You have to take care of it quickly and come back."

"Okay, feel free to go. We can talk about the rest after we're done. I have a lot of questions."

"Kuaaaah!"

Melkir, whose transformation was complete, rushed to Belinda. However, Giselle came between them.

Kwaaaaang!

Jiselle laughed ferociously.

"Now come hang out with me."

grasp!

Jiselle's eyes turned red and a black aura enveloped his body. It was a stronger and darker aura than the aura Melkir gave off.

Dddddddddd!

Melkir's huge hand grabbed Giselle's sword and tried to break it, but Giselle was faster.

Giselle immediately put down her sword and struck Melkir in the face with her fist.

Kwaaaaang!

Melkir's head turned in an instant. Giselle shook her hand and smiled.

"I'm pretty good at using any type of weapon, but actually, the first thing I learned wasn't weapon skills."

Kwaaaaah!

Melkir screamed and turned his head back, while Giselle pulled her fist back again.

"The first thing I learned was martial arts. Ever since I was little, I liked throwing punches the most."

His fist shot out like light.

Kwaaaaang!

"Crunch?"

Melkir's head fell back again. He had become a monster and did not understand the situation. Why was he being hit?

Belinda smirked at the sight. She didn't think she had anything to worry about this time either.

'Anyway, I'm telling you, his personality is still the same as when he was young. But still... ... .'

Since she was young, Jiselle was a troublemaker who would throw a punch if something didn't go her way. Everyone around her found it difficult and hated her.

Still, Belinda did not give up and always surrounded him with love. She believed that one day things would change.

And now.

Jiselle has truly changed. His fists have become a source of hope that protects many people, rather than a tyranny that torments those around him.

'Annette, are you watching?'

Belinda smiled as she headed toward the castle. Was it because she was recalling memories she had tried hard to erase? Or was it because she was telling Giselle about her mother, something she had kept hidden?

I felt like I was going to cry today.

'Really, am I getting old? I told you, I'm being sarcastic.'

But I thought that if this was over, I would be able to cry my heart out over old memories.

Even while he was out of his mind, Melkir tried to chase after Belinda as she left. Even while only unconscious, he was still looking for a target he wanted to kill.

But Jiselle wasn't the type to just let that happen.

"Where are you going?"

Kwaaaaang!

Giselle's fist landed on Melkir's abdomen, which had grown to nearly twice its original size.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Melkir's body rolled along the floor and was flung far away.

"Kuaaaah!"

Melkir, who had jumped up, screamed at Giselle. He realized that he had to get rid of the one who was in his way before he could move.

Jiselle shook her head and shook her hands.

"Wow, that's really tough."

When he saw him, Melkir was unable to fully exert his superhuman powers. His mana core was broken and the energy injected by the Salvation Church was holding him back from life.

Even when fighting Belinda, he was not able to fully exert his power. Nevertheless, Melkir was relaxed when he saw himself and Belinda. He had faith.

"Are you confident because you believed this?"

When you become a Paladin, your power increases several times. Even Melkir, who cannot use his power properly, can explode with energy at important moments.

Only then did Jiselle understand why the Duke had carried out this operation so boldly.

"Since it's a superhuman that can only be used once anyway, it wouldn't be a waste to use it as a discarded card."

Melkir would also have thought this would be the best place to burn his last life.

It won't go their way though.

"Kuaaaah!"

Melkir set his sights again. He decided to start by getting rid of the people he didn't like right in front of him.

Boom!

As Melkir kicked the ground, his figure disappeared in an instant and appeared in front of Giselle. It was as if he had teleported through space at such a fast speed.

Kwaaaaang!

Melkir's fist slammed into Giselle's body. Giselle quickly crossed her arms to block the blow, but her body was pushed back.

Kaaaah!

Melkir puffed out his chest and roared, like a beast roaring in triumph.

Jiselle also smiled. Her arms felt like they were going to fall off, but she really liked the current situation.

Because it felt like I could finally feel refreshed and strong after a long time.

"I've never had to work this hard before."

It's hard to find an opponent who only uses his fists without a weapon. That's especially true if he's reached the level of a superhuman.

Melkir was a very good opponent. He may be insane and lacking in skills, but his strength and toughness would be far greater than that of a normal superhuman.

I could fight with all my might against an opponent of that level. I had a feeling it would be a pretty satisfying fight.

"Kuaaaah!"

Melkir became very uncomfortable when he saw Giselle, who was fine even with his fists.

Just as he was about to attack again, Jiselle moved a step faster.

Giselle, who had been approaching at incredible speed, struck Melkir in the face with the same punch.

Kwaaaaang!

"Kwaaah!"

Melkir screamed and fell to the ground with a loud noise, as if something had exploded.

Jiselle clenched and unclenched her fist. She struck with incredible force, but her opponent was not crushed.

As expected, my blood boiled for the first time in a long time.

"Kuaaaah!"

Melkir jumped up and ran towards Giselle. Giselle did not dodge and faced him as well.

Kwaaaaang!

The two people's fists struck each other. The black energy swirled around as if it was going to devour each other, intertwining them.

The two who had struck each other backed away little by little.

"Kuaaaah!"

Giselle laughed as she watched Melkir continuously screaming in anger.

"Come back again."

Kwaaaaang!

Kwaaang!

Boom!

Fists exchanged blows countless times. Every time the two monsters clashed, shockwaves erupted around them.

Kwaaaaang!

Melkir's fist swung again. Giselle did not dodge but blocked it. The moment she blocked it, she felt pain as if her bones were being shattered. It was truly an incredible force.

But he didn't back down and swung his fists anyway.

Kwaaang!

Melkir also fought back when he was hit. However, as the punches continued to fly, his body was pushed back little by little.

"Just try a little harder!"

Kwaaang!

Giselle swung her fist with a devilish grin. Melkir, who was hit in the face, fell backwards.

As time went on, it was Melkir who was being pushed back. At some point, he was unable to fight back properly and was only getting hit.

"Kwaaah!"

Melkir, now a beast, still got up and swung his fist again. His strength and speed were certainly formidable.

Kwaaang!

Knock knock!

Jiselle's feet dug deep into the ground and held on. His body was no longer easily pushed back by attacks.

"Is this all there is to it?"

Kwaaaaang!

On the contrary, Melkir staggered backwards or fell to the ground every time he was hit by Giselle's fist. The affected area even burst and swelled.

"You don't become stronger just by exploding with energy."

Jiselle laughed and swung her fist again.

Kwaaaaang!

Melkir's body fell backwards again. His eyes, which had lost their sense of reason due to the powerful attack, were filled with confusion.

Giselle looked down at Melkir with arrogance and said:

"Let's end this slowly."

Kuung!

Giselle, enveloped in black aura and with glowing red eyes, approached Melkir.
