I Raised the Beast Well-Chapter 100
TL/PR: Nesta/YoruNoTsuki
Lart screamed in horror as he tried to reach Belinda.
“Aymon! We need to treat Belinda first….!”
But Aymon was hugging her even tighter, refusing to let go of her body.
In his mind, he knew that it wasn’t necessary to treat her anymore. He knew that this was really the end.
The mate’s imprint that connected them together was cut off. He was forced to feel with his whole body, the cruel fact that Belinda’s life had really come to an end.
“Breedee.”
Denying the truth until the end, Aymon held Belinda in desperation. He rubbed his cheeks to her cold cheeks and called out her name absentmindedly.
All he could do was hug her body and flop down helplessly like a broken doll.
The knights screamed in unison to attack Joseph.
“Kill him!”
“Attack that traitor!”
They raised their swords against the human who dared to kill the Princess. The Emperor and Lart also rushed toward him like crazy persons. But everyone bounced back through the air like fallen leaves caught in a storm after Joseph swung his hand lightly in front of him.
It was a divine power beyond one the humans could ever have.
Joseph built a large barrier from his power and centered it around himself, with Aymon and Belinda still inside it. He built a solid shield that no human could go through and approached Aymon, who was still holding Belinda in his arms.
He wanted to punish the damned beast who killed him in the past. Today was payback time for what they did to him back then.
“Serves you right.”
Joseph’s eyes shone eerily as he stared down at Aymon.
“Isn’t this the same scene I’ve already seen somewhere? Ah, it’s the same as then. Yeah, so Lapyan died again. It’s because she chose you again.”
“…….”
“You killed her.”
Joseph grinned before bursting into laughter.
But Aymon did not respond as his mind was only directed at Belinda.
Belinda is still so warm, but why wasn’t she breathing?
Why aren’t you opening your mouth and answering me, Belinda?
Joseph circled around Aymon and kept on talking.
“In the past, you attacked me while I was off-guard and then killed me. But now it’s different. You will be the one who dies this time.”
“…….”
“I will tear your soul apart so you can’t even reincarnate anymore. Both you and Lapyan!”
A voice imbued with madness rang uncontrollably from his mouth.
Joseph’s voice barely echoed faintly in Aymon’s ears. However, Aymon only recalled Belinda’s last whisper before she closed her eyes in welcoming death.
Did you worry about me even during your final moment, Belinda? Did you call my name? Did I answer you?
Who is Lapyan? What happened in the past?
All of those questions were meaningless now, so Aymon just shut down his mind. Now, his gaze swerved down at the unconscious Belinda.
It was all my fault. If I had stayed still from the start. If only I just silently waited for my death when Belinda was taken hostage, perhaps Belinda will still be alive right now….
It’s all my fault. Because I made a wrong judgment.
He carefully pulled out the spear that had penetrated her chest. His hand was soaked with blood. It felt like his body was soaked in hot blood, too, now. The sight was utterly suffocating that it felt like he was strangled.
Aymon slowly laid down Belinda on the ground.
“Breedee.”
At last, he came back to accept the reality that he would never get answers from her.
He gently swept up Belinda’s hair with blood-soaked hands. The beautifully shiny blonde turned crimson. No warmth was felt from her cold skin now.
Because of me again. I lost you again because of me.
Deep anger encroached on him as soon as he realized her death. Irrational emotions spiked up coldly like a winter storm.
Aymon slowly raised his head.
Now he finally met head on with Joseph’s amused face.
“…….”
Tears dropped sharply over Aymon’s expressionless face. His wet eyes contained unimaginable sorrow.
A storm was brewing beneath his seemingly stony face. A sudden rush of blood came over him.
There was madness hidden behind his coldly sunken eyes. Soon enough, Aymon’s stony expression finally broke. He grimaced in pain while transforming back, and then suddenly a huge leopard jumped in a flash.
The black beast immediately attacked Joseph. He exposed his fangs and thrusted his claws. Barahan floundered for a while and laughed.
“Finally!”
Finally he could see the end.
After seeing the blood of the beast who killed him, he felt like he was able to win.
Both Lapyan and the beast would sink into the darkness without a chance to reincarnate ever again. That would be his ultimate revenge against Lapyan and the beast who betrayed him.
As burning pleasure enraptured him, he summoned all the Shinsu that he had put on stand by just behind the barrier.
The ground trembled along with the Shinsu’s roars. They charged at Aymon all at once.
“It’s different from back then. I’m not alone anymore.”
He raised a smirk on his face as he watched Aymon.
Why do I need to deal with you directly? When I can just watch you getting killed by them.
That black beast was already wounded to the point of death. Even his remaining willpower was completely crushed due to the death of his lover. It was a battle with a visible end.
Some of the Shinsu’s sharp claws narrowly passed by Aymon.
Bang!
A force that could easily crush hard armor hit the ground.
The dust swirled violently. Pushing his way through a blurry view, Aymon’s gaze only fixated on Joseph.
“Barahan!”
Barahan, it was him. It was him again.
What happened in the past played out vividly as if it were just yesterday. He failed to protect Lapyan, and this time again but as Belinda.
All the Shinsu revealed their sharp fangs and began to surround Aymon. Some of the fallen Shinsu jumped right back up and bit Aymon’s legs. Blood flowed out again from Aymon’s wounded legs.
Aymon leaped without hesitation. He charged toward Joseph, dragging with him a Shinsu who was still hanging on his feet. Regardless of his feet getting bitten or not, he only focused on dashing toward Joseph.
He stepped on one of the Shinsu who attacked his neck. As a result, the sound of ribs breaking rang along with a painful roar from the Shinsu. But they won’t easily die as long as they were a Shinsu.
Aymon threw away the Shinsu who were stuck to him and continued rushing toward Joseph.
The gaze that could now only see Joseph was blazing with pure rage.
“Hey! Why aren’t you stopping him!”
The flustered Joseph began to retreat. The killing intent inside the beast’s eyes was too thick, so he instinctively ran away in fear.
Didn’t he already run out of energy?
Joseph, who was running away, belatedly realized that he could use his divine power and uttered curses as he let out his power all at once.
However, the bloodthirsty beast took his blows as if it were nothing. It seemed like he slipped into madness to the point he didn’t care about his own life anymore. A desperate struggle in which his goal was only to attack in the intent to kill Joseph.
“Y-You crazy!”
Joseph recklessly fired divine power. It flew like an arrow toward the beast and pierced his hard flesh, but the beast did not stagger.
Bam! Bam! The divine power was thrown in all directions. Aymon’s movements were too fast for him to limit his attack range.
Before he knew it, the two became even closer. A strong gust of wind passed by as Aymon’s front paws narrowly hit him.
“Argh!”
A chill ran down Joseph’s body. He barely avoided the first attack, but he couldn’t avoid the next claws that came after him.
“AAAAGH!”
Red blood gushed out from Joseph’s shoulder. It was quite a big wound, but he could easily heal it with divine power.
However, Joseph’s mentality began to shrink due to him panicking at the sudden turns of events.
Whenever Aymon’s attack brushed past him, it felt like a vicious killing intent grazed him like a sharp blade. A deep fear engulfed Joseph’s entire body.
“You damned beast!”
Joseph swung his arms recklessly to unleash his power.
Unlike Joseph, who was getting out of control, Aymon was calmly dealing with him. He bit Joseph in the cold and controlled rage state he was in.
The furious Joseph trembled and bit his lips in anxiety. Cold sweat flowed over his forehead.
“Go away!”
The sweat that fell down from his brows blurred his vision. He could see sharp fangs rushing toward him through his blurry vision. He managed to turn his upper body to avoid them. This time, claws that could pierce him brushed his ears.
“Ack! How dare you damn beast!”
He tried to fight back with every last bit of his power, but that was the end. Joseph staggered and got thrown off by the impact that penetrated his chest.
“ARGGGH!”
There was an eerie sound of bones breaking. His body flung in the air before it hit the barrier and flopped on the side pathetically.
Tuk.
One of his arms, that was cut off, fell afterwards.
“Aaargh!”
Joseph held onto his pained shoulder leftover. There was a glint of despair in his frightened eyes. He struggled with unbearable agony, and began to spew vicious remarks.
“You! To a scoundrel like you! How can I….!
But his snake-like tongue soon stopped, too.
Crack.
The eerie sound rang. Aymon’s fangs were lodged in the back of his neck. He could feel the bones cracking. There was not even a scream accompanied his death.
“Ugh…uh….”
The sound of a blood gurgle came from Barahan, while his body drooped helplessly.
That was the end. A human, who acquired the power of God, once again met his humble death as he rolled around in the dirt.
The smell of blood and deafening silence lingered in the air.
Bloodied Aymon slowly raised his head.
After Joseph’s death, the Shinsu regained their senses. But they couldn’t get close to Aymon.
Stomp, stomp.
Aymon barely pulled his foot and painfully made his way to Belinda. He slowly bowed his head to touch her cheek.
Tuk. Her face moved, lifeless.
Crouching on the ground, Aymon stared blankly at Belinda for a while and licked her blood-soaked cheek. He could feel the coldness that belonged to someone who lost their life.
A painful howl rang from Aymon’s throat. He agonized in a pain that was no different than torture.
Shanti, who was watching the scene, also howled with sorrow.
「Aymon….we were controlled by Joseph.」
But it didn’t erase the sense of guilt they had. They hurt Aymon and drove him to the edge of the cliff.
Aymon, who had been licking Belinda’s cheeks for a long time, rubbed Belinda’s neck with his nose. Her bloodied hair was stuck over her skin, which was starting to feel chilly.
「Breedee.」
Aymon quietly called out her name. Still, there was no answer. Aymon blinked slowly, letting his eyes get engulfed in darkness.
At that moment, there was the sound of something vibrating. Aymon slowly turned his head. Lapyan’s sword was trembling and bursting with white light.
Aymon, who knew what that light was, swallowed his breath.
