Empress' Evolution

Chapter 51: Revenge story MC

Sylva had led an unsavory life.

When she was but a child, she was taken away from her supposed family and was groomed to become a tool that will be sacrificed.

In the place where other Silberofer's were taken she met one person who became a friend. They lived together until one day, they tried to escape their fate and run away.

They run and run, but her friend was caught by their pursuers. And as her friend got dragged away without her being able to do anything, Sylva escaped.

But the thing that haunted her the most was not Sela's voice cursing her, but the sweet and soft smile she flashed as she was about to be taken away.

"Go, live for us two!"

When Sylva run, she didn't turn back. She still hears it like it was just yesterday, echoing in her ears as if trying to devour her mind. She loathed herself and she failed to accept her actions.

But when Lilith spoke to her, she saw a glimpse of hope that she may just be living a life that is more of a gift rather than a blessing. However, that illusion did not last long as she felt the presence of Sela in front of her once again.

She tried to kill the one who took her soul, even when Dhampy tried to stop her, Sylva rushed in to take the life of that person. But when she came to and realized her actions, she had once again caused a tragic mistake.

She had attacked the people who accepted her, the one who taught her how to become a blade for Lilith. She attacked her, and Sylva's mind imploded with every subject forcing her to stay sane.

Sela's soul, her current life, her loyalty, and her own sanity became a form heavy load to her that the only thing she can do was curse herself for acting so irrationally and for being useless.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!.......

Badump! Badump! Badump! She wished to die to atone for what she did, but in end, the words of Lilith and the memories of Sela stopped her.

When she opened her eye, a dark path was to her right. She didn't care about it when she was on a rampage, but right now that she paid attention to it, the loss of her eyes sight is not something that will take away a lot of her mobility.

Thinking about it, she even lost her eyes due to her stupidity. She rushed in to fight when she should have retreated. The result of her rash actions is losing an eye; it was a pretty messed up situation.

"Such foolishness, I have been doing nothing but foolish things."

Tears escaped her as she began to feel worse than before.

"It seems like you're alright if you time to worry about such things, Sylva."

To Sylva's surprise, a childish voice reached her ears from the right. She quickly turned her head and saw Lilith sitting on the ground with folded arms. As soon as she saw Lilith she quickly moved as she sat up as quickly as possible.

"Boss head, I-I didn't know you were there."

"Don't worry about it, just act naturally and don't be too nervous. I'm not here to criticize you or anything. I am here to check if you are alright."

That sweet and gentle smile put Sylva at ease almost immediately. But it also ignited the feeling of guilt for her outburst the last time she was awake.

"I'm so"

"Don't apologize, Sylva. You already did that three days ago. You didn't cause any major trouble so do not apologize to me anymore. What I want to hear is your answer to my question, are you okay?"

"I am fine now, thanks to you Priestess."

"That is good. But I am not just here to check up on you, I am also here for something elseDhampy."

As Lilith called out to Dhampy, two figures walked into the room and Sylva's face changed quickly. She moved her hand got her daggers from the dimensions she created to keep her stuff.

And as her temper got the best of her again, she disappeared from where she sat and reappeared the next instant behind Luna. Her eyes had already turned red from rage

"DIE!"

Clang!

However, Dhampy got in the way as she jumped backward to intercept Sylva's attack! The shockwave of their collision caused the roof of the house to be blown away by a massive gust of wind.

"SYLVA!"

Lilith's angered voice caused for Sylva to reawaken from her rage. Her eyes that had dyed red from the anger that filled her heart began to wane and she remembered herself and instantly calmed down.

Her self-loathing only grew as she remembered what she was doing and yet she felt a mix of guilt and a sense of wrong. She wants to kill the daemon before her for she wants to free the soul of her friend that lingers with her.

She does not know if by killing her, it would actually free Sela, but, it is best to try rather than not. Thus, she felt wronged for being stopped.

It was contradictory of emotion, the clashes in her heart are not something shallow, she wishes to continue, and yet she does not want to disappoint Lilith. She was conflicted and torn.

In the end, she could only bite her lips which results for her lips to bleed.

When Lilith saw this, she could only sigh. She could see where she was coming from, but she can't just let Sylva kill Luna. Not only will Luna's death incite doubt on her character, but it was also because she has some uses, still.

"Sylva, I know why you are so angry at her. From what I can gather, it must be Sela, right?"

"She has her soul, boss head! I have to free her soul."

Sylva's words were strong, it echoed in the hearts of those could hear causing them to feel her grief.

[I am detecting hints of mind energy from Sylva, I think her instability is awakening something inside her. She's a new species so I have no information on her, be careful.]

Lilith listened to Alpha, and as she looked at Sylva she sighed once again.

"Sigh, I know it is painful, but are you sure her soul is trapped inside her?"

"I can feel her presence, that must be the case!"

"No Sylva, that's not it, you can feel Sela's presence because she is now one with Luna. If you kill her, isn't it like killing Sela as well?"

Sylva grew silent.

"Sigh, this is not going to work, so, I will be postponing this talk until we figure things out. You two will talk later, but for now, Sylva, I need you to work together with Luna."

"WHAT!?"

That was the first time Sylva raised her voice to Lilith.
