I Shall Free You

They then walked their way toward the basement of the mansion to see if Dong Huang was telling the truth.

From what Yuki understands from his explanation, the ancestor should be sealed inside the statue. He should be the one who is protecting them by scaring the Monsters. Yuki's understanding, but if that was true how can that be protecting the Village if he is already sealed in place?

When they descended to the basement, Yuki felt a heavy pressure hitting her causing her to cough up blood.

Shocked by Yuki's coughing up blood, Anna instantly went to Yuki to support her by putting Yuki's arms around her neck.

This time Anna didn't feel embarrassed at all because she was genuinely worried about Yuki's sudden pain.

"F*ck!" Yuki cursed.

She feels her whole body cracking under the pressure as if a giant mountain is weighing her down.

Anna's help went into the drain as Yuki collapsed to the ground with both her knees.

Yuki's eyes darken and soon she started to cough off blood once more, shocking all of them.

"What is happening!" Anna glared at Dong Huang.

"I- I don't know."

"Are you okay Yuki!?" Anna cried out, she doesn't know what is happening but judging from Yuki's condition something weird is happening and it was only targeting Yuki.

Yuki felt hopeless for the first time, she didn't feel that way when she fought Aria or the higher officials of the City of Light.

She felt like she was about to collapse, and just as she was about to be unconscious she saw a body of a Man appear in front of her.

"How dare you, an Evil Person, come to my lair?" The man asked.

When Dong Huang saw the man, he immediately knelt on the ground and greeted him with the most respect.

"Greetings Lord Ancestor Feng Huang!"

"Hmm."

"Why are you hurting Yuki!?" Anna asked, she didn't care if the man was far stronger than her or not.

"She is an evil person, to have killed so many people even while being so young. She must be punished by the heavens." Feng Huang answered.

He is a specialist in understanding every person, he has even earned the title for himself in his ere as "The Great One!" No one can hide their nature from him.

Feng Huang can tell that Eren, Sylvie, and Dong Huang are all neutral with no dark nature and Anna is almost like a saint for her kind and warm nature.

He sees their nature as the light being the good ones, grey for the neutral, and black being the evilest ones.

And from the nature or aura that Yuki was releasing is extremely black.

Feng Huang was right, Yuki already had blood stains when she was just 18, but that only got higher and higher as she grew up.

On Yuki's final breath, she might have killed over 10,000 people not counting the innocent ones, the reason for her killing? The ones who wished her to die, so Yuki only repaid them with their lives.

"I'm sorry but I will have to kill her, there is no way I'm letting this child live with that kind of nature." Feng Huang said he then started to get close to Yuki to end her.

But Anna blocked his way, not letting him get past her.

"What the hell are you saying evil!? Aren't you just being a hypocrite? You know that you also kill people and you have the nerve to kill her just because she killed many people in the past! Isn't that just f*cking stupid!?" Anna yelled she had never cursed in her whole life till this moment, but she felt like it was worth it.

Anna felt her heart being squeezed just from the thought of Yuki dying, she still doesn't know if she truly loves Yuki as a woman or not, but what she does know is that she will not let Feng Huang kill Yuki.

Feng Huang felt his words get stuck in his throat, Anna was right, he also killed many people in the past maybe 10x more than Yuki. But he still doesn't want to lose to Anna, as he felt that he was doing the right thing by eliminating Yuki.

Eren and Sylvie also defended Yuki, even though they had just been together for 1 day they can tell that Yuki is a pretty nice person as long as you don't provoke her in any way.

Dong Huang stayed silent and didn't move at all, he was too scared of what might happen in the near minutes.

"Young Miss, I don't want to hurt you. I can see that you have a very good soul and nature. That's why you want to save this demon. But I can tell you right now that you are making the wrong choice, she is evil! You might be getting tricked by her, let me free you." Feng Huang said.

He then "gently" pushed aside the three of them and started to fly over to Yuki who was now laying on the ground in her pool of blood because she lost Anna who was supporting her.

Feng Huang raised his hand and put it into Yuki's head and said slowly.

"For you to kill so many people despite being so young, you must be tormented by the guilt that you have made." Feng Huang sighed.

Killing is normal for every person in this world, but what Feng Huang can't understand is how Yuki killed so many Human lives in such a short time. Normally for them, she would just be killing some Wild Monster and Beast and that is completely normal.

But killing Human lives is what Feng Huang cannot accept, he feels that he is a saint whom everyone should respect for his good deed in exterminating evil.

"I hope you will change in your next life."

"No!!" Anna screams.

But just as everyone thought that Yuki was about to die, Feng Huang suddenly stopped and looked at Yuki with horror.

"Go to hell," Yuki said hoarsely.

Ice started to form out of nowhere and attack Feng Huang's body, but that is not the one that made him fear but the attack that Yuki launch to

his statue.

Feng Huang knows that he cannot be hurt physically, but he still was caught off guard by Yuki's Ice Attack, but then he saw a sword appear in Yuki's hand.

"Freezing Thorns."

Soon dozens of Ice Thorns shot out at Feng Huang's statue.

Feng Huang tried to stop it, but he doesn't have any power left. He used it all when trying to kill Yuki.

Boom!!

His statue exploded to pieces leaving nothing behind.
