I will not die a Villainess's death-Chapter 120 120: The Confrontation [Pt2]

Elysia was getting tired of falling unconscious all the time. Somehow, she could not feel as if this was a really common occurrence in recent times.

She had fainted more times in the last year than she had in all her years of training. And it felt like that number was rapidly increasing each week.

"Ouch, my head hurts. What the hell even happened back there?" Elysia tried to remember what had happened but her memory was hazy. She could recall bits and pieces of how she had fallen into water but nothing concrete.

At first, Elysia did suspect it to be because of magic that her memories became hazy. Some kind of magical energy had tried to interfere with her after all.

But the more she tried to feel her magic, the more she realized that there was nothing to pull on. Even that faint feeling of restriction was gone.

The only thing that was left to Elysia that indicated that she had magic at all was her poor memory. The world was visible to her in blurry shades.

And one such shiny but blurry shade was heading toward Elysia at an incredible speed. She tried to get out of the way, only to realize that she had no magic.

The metal construction was about to hit Elysia head-on when she closed her eyes. Surprisingly enough, no collision took place.

All Elysia heard was a loud horn and an angry shout at her.

The creature that got out of the metallic construction looked human but he had the weirdest shade of hair Elysia had ever seen. His yelling was also too loud and it made Elysia's ears hurt.

Whatever he was saying, Elysia could not understand that language at all, and trying to cast a spell did not work.

The man, no, the creature with rainbow-colored hair seemed to be getting even angrier at her lack of action and finally moved toward Elysia. His anger looked to be visible on his face.

This situation would not have been a big deal had Elysia not been rendered useless. She was also in a very revealing dress that showed a lot of her assets.

So she did the only thing she could do in such a situation. Elysia ran away as fast as she could.

She could see everyone looking at her as she did. Somehow, the more she saw the female-looking creatures and how they were dressed, the less exposed she felt. Her dress still covered the main private features she had but some of the females out there looked like they had nothing to hide.

Elysia could have stopped to look more had the man not taken off behind her. He looked too pissed off and Elysia knew that she was not going to be let go of that easily.

She ran toward the empty alley, knowing that she had an advantage there. She had trained her body as well as her magic just for cases like these.

So she knew that she would be able to take the man if she was able to isolate him.

Unfortunately enough, the man gave the chase up halfway through. He seemed to have realized that it was not worth it to run after an unknown person he will not be able to catch.

Elysia felt relieved as well as disappointed as soon as she realized that the chase was over already.

On one hand, she was safe. But on the other, she had lost her source of information and would not have to look for a new one. Fortunately, that would not be a problem for her.

But the deeper she walked into the alley, the more she realized that this was not a safe place for her to be in.

There was no one around but the sense of danger was still present in the air. If she had her magic then there would have been no need for her to be this fearful.

But she did not have her magic. And it was also such an unfortunate time when she came across 'the situation.'

"Hey kid, hold still. You do not want to harm your pretty face, right?" 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

A bunch of adults had ganged up on a kid who was barely seven years old. The poor child was struggling to get away from his would-be kidnappers.

Naturally, Elysia knew that she should leave the kid alone and not get involved in such a situation. She also had enough common knowledge to know that this was not an acceptable situation even in this culture.

But she had no idea who to contact any kind of agencies in this world who could take care of this matter.

She would have to somehow take care of this situation while also trying to hold her own. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

Elysia positioned herself behind the huge metallic box which contained black bags and picked one up to distract the would-be kidnappers.

She knew that if she somehow managed to divert these kidnappers' attention then she could help the kid out.

Elysia threw the black gab toward her left side as she made her way the other way around.

"Boss, there is someone here. I heard something falling."

A kidnapper explained, doing exactly what Elysia wanted him to do. Unfortunately, this was where her plan began to fall apart.

"Search the whole alley. We cannot risk anyone finding out what we are doing here or it will all be for nothing. We cannot afford to have the police find us or we are all dead."

The man who was likely the 'boss' yelled out suddenly. Elysia knew she needed to get out of the way of that search but she was not successful.

"Boss, there is a girl here. What should we do with her now? Should we kill her?"

Elysia took this small window of opportunity to kick the nearest grunt to her right. The man went down but he did not go down without a fight.

He managed to make Elysia lose her balance as he stuck out to attack her. Elysia managed to dodge him but the other grunt got her good in the stomach.

Elysia did not break any bone, nor was it a heavy attack. But she still felt like all the wind in her lungs had been knocked out.

She quickly clutched her stomach as the pain took over her senses. These people had sued some kind of trick since Elysia could feel some kind of residual energy left on her body.

"Well, let me have a look. The girl is beautiful, almost too much to belong to any of our groups. I can even feel a little bit of mana in her body but it is too little for her to be of a noble clan in this world. Pack her with the brat and pick her up as well."

Elysia wanted to fight more but her body was not cooperating. Moreover, she did not understand anything they were talking about.

It was clear to her that this world had a power system of its own which was different from magic. However, Elysia had no idea how to use their power or if she was even able to in the first place.

"Let her go. She has nothing to do with all of this so don't involve a bystander."

The child yelled suddenly, his soft face twisting into anger. Elysia felt a pang of emotion go through her body as she felt a feeling of familiarity flow all over her body.

? Something about that boy looked so unique and familiar to Elysia that it made her feel like crying. She wanted to reach out to him and hold him close.

But her body was feeling too heavy and the kid was also not in a position to receive Elysia's well-wishes.

"Shut it, kid. I have no beef with the girl but she tried to save you and got herself involved in our business. Whatever happens to her is her fault. Besides, it is not like anyone is going to find out either her or you, so what does it even matter?"

The kid looked even more pissed after hearing those words. His small body was shaking with unsuppressed rage.

There was an aura around the kid that made even Elysia flinch once she felt its intensity. It was like looking at Adam when he was letting his powers go.

But the kid never managed to do anything with his aura since the kidnapper's boss snapped something in the boy's wrist.

As soon as it went around that thin wrist, the mad aura went quiet and the child could only pant in exhaustion.

Elysia was sure that it was some kind of suppressor for their kind but she did not know how that worked.

"You are a fool if you think you will be able to get away with doing all this. No noble family will let your tyranny go."

The kid yelled, his voice serious. But the boss only laughed out loud at those words.

"Oh, kid! You poor and delusional kid. I have already gotten away with everything. No one will search for you anyway."
