Reincarnated and Regressed Villain - Make heroines beg for forgiveness

Chapter 144: Chapter 144- Heindal's status (6)

"I don't care who comes now; this ends now, Amayara!" Diana had kept her aura under control until now, with ZENITH rank; her ability could have alerted the other Powerhouses residing here, but now, it was enough.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Instantly, the land started to shake; within moments, it turned into an earthquake centered beneath her, dense mana surrounding her body causing the upcoming sword strikes to dissolve before even hitting her.

Her hair and eyes started to glow blue, illuminating with a visible heat haze forming around her the moment she lifted her leg.

She vanished.

More specifically, she launched at an invisible speed towards Amayara, who also vanished at the same speed.

In that moment, only one woman surrounded by ice crystals was visible amidst the sounds of rubble falling, with no sign of the other two.

TING!

SWOOSH!

BOOOOOM!

A ringing sound accompanied by another reverberated inside the cave before the entire natural structure vanished into tiny dust particles.

The entire cave, along with the mountain above and miles of surrounding area, turned to dust.

"Haah.... You?!" Diana's slender cane blade was suspended in the air, halted by an unknown force resonating with her energy, emanating from an unfamiliar woman standing before her.

"Y-yui Silvester?!" Amayara's eyes trembled as she saw her own sword refusing to obey her, trembling and stopping short of reaching the woman standing between them.

Glimmering silver hair, similar to the woman surrounded by ice crystals, fluttered in the breeze caused by the devastation, with Gaia's rays accentuating her entire face, highlighted by deep amethyst eyes.

"How did you enter here?" Yui turned her gaze toward Diana, whose eyes widened before relaxing as she glanced at her cane's blade, which was resonating and trembling.

'Sword Maiden'—only one thought entered her mind as she looked at the woman who had caused a continental war in a previous life.

Someone because of whom none of the Abernathy family or any other background family supporting them were able to enter Heindal to provide support in the previous life's battle.

The sole reason for keeping everyone on edge by bringing the whole Sword Valley to engage with Ardoros and making things harder for her.

'...What if I killed her here?' Suddenly, a possibility arose in Diana's mind. Right now, she was surrounded by three powerhouses.

It could cost more than she could afford, but if somehow she could kill this woman.

"Isn't it funny that every Tenebri has silver or white hair? Imagine how beautiful it would look after turning crimson." Parting her lips, Diana mocked her before releasing the cane blade in her hand and drawing out an artifact, pointing it towards Yui.

This artifact was prepared for dealing with the Sword Maiden, but right now, her disciple should be the one to die.

SCHLKT!

"Huh?" Diana's gaze could only reflect the cubic artifact in her hand splitting in half, accompanied by her own wrist being dissected and flying away from her hand.

Without feeling pain, her eyes met with the cold amethyst ones.

"You all act too much for simply being childhood companions of him, and you especially. I've seen everything from the beginning—where all this backstabbing and things came from." Yui ignored Diana's hand and turned towards Amayara and Alia, narrowing her eyes while observing them. "Is there something that I am missing here?"

"....No," Amayara simply replied, unwilling to divulge to someone unknown that all three of them possessed memories from past lives.

"I see." Yui glanced at Alia, who also stared back blankly, refusing to reveal anything. Then Yui turned towards Diana, whose face formed a smile.

"Heh, don't tell me, you're also in the line?" Ignoring her, Diana moved towards her hand, which lay on the ground, still holding the artifact in a deactivated state with thin line visible in middle.

'So, they're after him,' Yui's eyes again glanced towards Amayara and Alia, who now looked at her with different intentions, their demeanor changing after hearing Diana's suspicion.

"I, unlike all of you, don't want him," Yui stated clearly, a sword silently dematerializing inside her hand and disappearing as she kept her calm gaze fixed on Diana.

"Eh, isn't it amusing that one doesn't want anyone worthless to have him, another never wants to get closer to him, and the other is striving to become worthy of him?" Diana stuck her wrist back to her hand, instantly reattaching it due to her Riantain bloodline. Her eyes glanced at each of them, starting from Amayara, then Yui, and finally Alia.

All four of them desired him, but the cruel truth was he didn't reciprocate their feelings.

How heartless.

"It's true that you have some mental issues, not uncommon among families from Ardoros," Yui leaned in beside Diana's ear and added, "but this isn't your domain. Try that again, and you'll be dead."

'....' Diana's gaze turned downward, gritting her teeth.

Even with immense power, unleashing it would bring Sword Maiden herself down upon her, not to mention these pests before her.

However, with a newfound chance at life, she didn't want to die as a failure.

"Fine, I will leave this place," Diana said as she turned to depart, loosening her grip, causing Yui's expression to also relax as she turned towards Amayara.

"Got you!" In an instant, Diana turned and threw the Artifact after activating it towards Yui with invisible speed, preventing the woman from reacting.

SLICE

'No, it can't be.' Diana's widened eyes reflected the artifact disintegrating just a meter away from Yui, accompanied with a sharp pain akin to her heart being split in half.

It was the Sword Domain.

One of the abilities possessed by Sword Maiden, granting her control over anything within a meter, down to the atomic level, suffused with pure sword intent.

'She has already reached that level.' Diana gritted her teeth as her figure began to fade.

It was clear that any further steps here would mean her death.

After all, she needed to meet her beloved instead of wasting away her life here. "Fufufu, next time, I will need all of your blessings for my hubby."

BANG!

"YOU BITCH!" Alia arrived at the spot before shooting big ice crystals, but Diana had already left.

"Amayara, Mother wanted to meet you regarding your sister's ability," Yui said, ignoring that last provocation, turning towards the black-haired woman whose sword was dematerializing, nodding at Yui's words.

"Alia, tell Olivia to prepare the ship faster," Amayra said, turning to leave after leaving a message for Alia while taking a glance at Yui, wanting to say something but pursing her lips.

SWISH

"...I am leaving too," Alia informed Yui, who stood in the middle of a barren field caused by devastation,.

Alia turned towards the direction of the Capital city where she needed to inform Olivia of everything in case it could motivate her to make a ship faster.

"Why do you love him?" Yui inquired, looking at Alia's departing back.

"I love him because he makes me feel understood and cared for," Alia replied.

"Then why did you betray him?" Yui inquired again, referring to the words Diana said a moment ago, with her not having much idea about this.

"Mind your own business," Alia straightforwardly retaliated, her eyes still red from anger a moment ago, fixed on Yui.

"...I see." With that reply, Yui's figure blurred before vanishing.
