When the Villainess Died, the Male Lead Went Crazy - Chapter 127.2
As Lilith brushed aside his words and prepared to use her power again, Kylian swung his sword energy, shattering the barrier. Crash! The essence of the broken barrier became visible. Lilith quickly erected another barrier as she spoke.
“Proceed immediately.”
“…Yes.”
The High Priest of Death began to cast the spell. Suddenly, light surged from the magic circle. Kylian was approaching rapidly, and Lilith continuously erected barriers to block him.
Bam! Crash! Wham! Boom! Each step Kylian took required him to smash through a wall, yet he moved without hesitation. Seeing Kylian’s momentum, Lilith grabbed a nearby sword and pointed it at the unconscious Anais.
“If you come any closer, I’ll kill her.”
“I know you need my wife’s soul.”
“I do. But in this state, even if I kill her, her soul won’t go far.”
“…….”
Kylian’s heart raced with anxiety at the sight of Anais’s limp body.
“Is my wife safe?”
“Of course. If you just stay put.”
Lilith felt the wind surrounding the magic circle as she spoke.
“You’ll be grateful to me, Kylian Cypnos.”
“Do you think I would be grateful to someone who plans to erase everything?”
“Haha.”
Lilith laughed at his words and glared at Kylian.
“Have you talked to Lewarren?”
“…….”
“It seems Lewarren hasn’t told you anything.”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Kylian gripped his sword tightly again. At that moment, Anais slowly opened her eyes. Kylian sensed her presence but held his sword, threateningly drawing Lilith’s attention.
“I’ll explain everything that’s happening.”
Lilith was aware too. She knew Anais had woken up.
Yet, Lilith continued to smile, seemingly unfazed by the situation.
“What I said earlier wasn’t just empty words. You’ll truly be grateful to me. Once I reclaim everything, I’ll ensure that both you and Anais meet again in a new life.”
“…….”
“All souls will be completely annihilated and then recreated, but I’ll leave the two of you as you are.”
She spoke of the annihilation and recreation of beings.
“If your souls remain unchanged, you will recognize each other in the new world I create.”
“…….”
“Then you’ll finally achieve what you couldn’t here.”
Kylian thought that was pure nonsense. Even if the souls remained the same, Anais could still become someone else. The new world being created was not something he could trust entirely.
Above all, Kylian did not trust Lilith. She was the one who had deceived him time and again, and Anais had also been fooled by her.
“You are the one who betrayed Anais, who cherished you like a sister. And you mocked me by pretending to be my wife.”
“Oh, right. That was really fun. You cried and begged me not to leave, remember?”
Kylian felt embarrassed as memories flooded back of when he had clung to Lilith after taking the potion from the Temple of Morphis.
“You were really amusing. You cried so much, begging for just one more chance.”
“……”
“How pathetic those tears were.”
Lilith held Anais’s body tightly, gripping the knife so fiercely it seemed she could stab it into her at any moment.
“I hated it so much.”
“I never loved you.”
“Neither did I. A scoundrel like you, with such a nasty personality and no ability to communicate, is not my type. Plus, your little act doesn’t work on me. I believed you were kind because of Lady Anais, but I never trusted you from the start.”
“Then why did you deceive me like that?”
Lilith found it amusing that he had misunderstood her intentions. As she observed the pillars of light around them growing darker, she felt a sense of reassurance.
“I needed you.”
“Is that why you’re speaking so freely now that it’s no longer necessary?”
“Yes. And anyway, once everything is over, both you and Anais will forget it all. Then we can start anew.”
Feeling the blood trickling from the cut she had unconsciously made on Anais’s neck, she loosened her grip.
“Listen, Kylian.”
Kylian, who had been unconsciously gazing at Anais, shifted his focus to Lilith.
“I swear I never liked you.”
“……”
“I was going to keep quiet about it, but it’s just too unfair not to say something.”
Kylian reflected on how Lilith had pretended to be Anais in his bedroom and how she had always been sweet to him whenever he clung to her.
“It’s laughable that you mistook me for Anais.”
“……”
“And denying that you were falling for her all the while.”
“……”
“I thought you would recognize it, but you kept denying it.”
Suddenly, Kylian remembered how Lilith had appeared every time his life had been threatened, using her twisted logic to block him.
“What’s your real objective? Do you think I’m a fool?”
Kylian realized that she wasn’t truly trying to destroy everything. He tightened his grip on the sword as he noticed that Anais, now fully conscious, seemed ready to fight back.
“Let’s bury everything under your corpse.”
He said this and charged at Lilith, breaking through the last barrier.
