-664- Pay for your crimes

"Aaah!"

On the other side of the forest, Felix was lying on the ground, screaming in extreme pain.

Beside him, Eliza had already reverted from her white phantom mist form and lay on the ground, struggling to get up. But because of the damage to her bones from Yaya's attacks, she couldn't manage to stand up no matter how hard she tried.

Eliza's armor was mostly shattered, and her body was horrifically broken, as if it had been split in two. There was a sense of connection and disconnection in her current state.

As for Felix, his skin had been dissolved by the white phantom mist's magic under its effect, and black smoke was still rising from him. His once handsome face that could charm countless girls was now revealed, looking grotesque.

In this situation, how could Felix not be screaming in agony?

If it weren't for Felix cutting off Eliza's magic circuits in time, canceling the magic of the white phantom mist, he might have already suffered complete dissolution.

This is retribution. In his ruthless quest for the throne of the Wiseman at the Night Party, Felix took on the persona of the "Cannibal Candy" and absorbed the magic circuits of other automatons. Now, the magic circuits he forcibly obtained caused him such a miserable state.

"Dammit! Dammit!"

Felix was both in agony and full of resentment, his voice filled with hatred. "Rorelai Arneet!"

At this moment, Felix's heart was filled with hatred for Rozen.

As the legitimate eldest son of the Kingsfort family and the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, when has Felix, who enjoyed such a prominent position and status both inside and outside the academy, ever suffered such humiliation?

Now, the pain etched onto Felix's body increased his hatred with every passing moment. He knew that these scars would likely accompany him for life, and he would not only receive sympathy and pity but also face the whispers and gossip of others. His past reputation as someone to be respected and admired would likely be forever lost.

How could Felix not hate this?

"You better remember this! Remember this!"

Felix struggled on the ground while screaming at the top of his lungs.

"I won't give up!"

You can imagine that Felix is preparing to drag Rozen into hell.

And he has something to rely on.

Not to mention the rights from the Kingsfort family, Felix has more than enough privileges within this academy.

If Felix really wants to harm Rozen, then even if he can't physically threaten him, he can still use his authority to make life miserable for him.

As for the matter of "Cannibal Candy,"

"I haven't been exposed yet!"

Even though Rozen was almost certain that Felix was "Cannibal Candy," he didn't have concrete evidence. Given Felix's reputation and power, twisting the truth and obstructing any accusations would be effortless.

In the past, Felix has always been doing just that, asserting his dominance secretly, and still hasn't been found out.

So,

"Just you wait! Just you wait!"

Felix continued to increase his hatred to endure the pain.

Unfortunately,

"It seems you truly are 'Cannibal Candy,' Felix."

Accompanied by a somewhat sad and painful voice, Felix shivered violently and looked ahead.

There, Felix saw a familiar girl.

A beauty like a fairy.

A little steel dragon perched on her head.

She exuded an aura that made people reluctant to approach.

Who else could it be but Charl?

Appearing in front of Felix, Charl concealed her emotions under her bangs, only her voice trembled.

"Originally, I thought you were someone who, despite their noble status, held a sense of responsibility as an aristocrat, being kind to others and willing to help them. Now, it seems all of that was just a facade."

How could someone who would resort to any means to win at the Night Party, including killing students and devouring the hearts of so many automatons, be kind, considerate, and willing to help others?

"In this light, the things you did for me were all an act, weren't they?"

Charl's voice trembled as she spoke.

"Because you're the Head of the Disciplinary Committee, you know very well that I've been acquiring a large number of automaton hearts, and this can be conveniently used by you."

This is something that becomes clear upon careful consideration.

In order to avoid suspicion of being "Cannibal Candy" when using various magics at the Night Party in the future, Felix must make "Cannibal Candy" disappear before the Night Party begins. This way, he can confidently use Eliza's magic and wield the abilities of the devoured magic circuits.

So, how could he avoid being suspected?

It's quite simple.

As long as "Cannibal Candy" has been caught, no one will suspect Felix is "Cannibal Candy" anymore.

This was Felix's purpose in deliberately approaching Charl and helping her.

"You want to shift the blame and have me arrested as 'Cannibal Candy,' don't you?"

Charl spoke somewhat self-deprecatingly and with anger.

"As long as the hearts stored in my room are exposed, people will undoubtedly take me as 'Cannibal Candy.'"

After all, why would "Cannibal Candy" leave behind the remains of automatons with missing hearts every time?

In this situation, if Charl is found to have a large number of hearts, it would be impossible not to suspect her as "Cannibal Candy."

Felix wanted Charl to be his scapegoat, thereby eliminating future problems and a strong competitor in the Night Party.

It must be said that this was truly cunning.

"I trusted you so much and even told you what Rozen was planning to do, and the result is you almost exposed his whereabouts and falsely accused him."

The sadness in Charl's heart completely turned into anger.

"You are not worthy of being a member of the Disciplinary Committee, let alone participating in the Night Party."

Saying that, Charl released a massive amount of magical power.

All this magical power flowed into Sigmund, causing him to roar, and his body gradually began to swell.

In an instant, Sigmund transformed into a massive dragon.

"Ah, ahh, ahh, ahh!"

Watching this scene, Felix let out an incomprehensible scream.

Sigmund, now a dragon, lowered his head, and his gaze at Felix was incredibly cold.

"Felix Kingsfort."

Sigmund's voice roared like thunder.

"You will pay for your crimes."

Saying these words, Sigmund slowly opened his mouth.

A dazzling radiance gathered within it.

In the next moment, the brilliance blossomed in the forest, illuminating the deep night.

Not long after, Charl and Sigmund disappeared from the scene, leaving Felix and Eliza lying on the ground.
