The Demon's Bride

Chapter 606: We’ve Been Fooled-II

Ernest's expression died down for a moment there was a burst of emotions but it passed in a split of second before his grin widened, "Perhaps you might entertain me a bit milady? I am extremely curious to know how you knew it was me… perhaps you have some kind of ability in you more than I know?"

"Have you been stalking me?" Elise narrowed her eyes with disgust in her lips she could tell the man had known her long ago, but she couldn't pinpoint when. Thinking of the age difference between her and Ernest it doesn't seem that they shared a large number of difference. Instead, they were in fact quite close in age with Ernest being older by a year or two than her.

But there was something… something different since Elise saw Ernest through his memories, something creepier inside the man which she was trying to find out.

"Please put it in a better way, milady. I had not stalked you but keep a tab on you. After all, you are the granddaughter of Satan. 'That' granddaughter who will make all creatures in the world bow down to you when you order them. Could I, for one, ever let myself miss this beautiful opportunity to know more about the creature who can control everyone in this world?"

Elise closed her eyes once, "If you knew I am the granddaughter of Satan who one day would bring the world under my feet, control all the beings in this world then what are you doing now?"

Ernest looked at her with a lost look as if he cannot follow her words she continued, "I am questioning why are you on the side as my enemy while knowing on being as my enemy is your biggest mistake."

Ernest looked at her with wide eyes as he shivered but his grin went wider and wider on his lips, "My lady you don't know what my true intention is. You don't know my true goal is. What my motivation that had drive me to do this grandiose action. And my lady, you don't know anything. Truly you know nothing. But that naivety isn't something I dislike."

Slowly Ernest inched forward reaching out his hand toward her and Elise didn't hesitate to swat the man's hand away from her. "Don't touch me," she stressed and glared. As it seem there was no use talking, Elise can only see the method to stop the madness in which Ernest had been attempting was by killing the man.

With so, she raised her hand, forming a blue swirl infused with her ability to throw it over the man. Ernest clicked his tongue and dodged the attack swiftly. He didn't let any of her attack to go toward him but didn't notice that slowly as Elise had attacked him, the ground underneath them had been touched by Elise and combusted into ashes.

Taken by surprise, Ernest ran down the rubbles but Elise's ability had rendered all of the floor to turn into fine dusts which made it impossible for him to use the rubble to escape from falling down. As they were in the third floor, Ernest collapsed flat on the second floor. But Elise didn't stop there and once again destroyed the second floor while seeing Ernest who continue to fall until the first floor.

As she was done, Elise then nimbly jump while using a bit of her power to control the impact when she jumped down the lowest floor to lessen the impact of her as she landed on the ground. Ernest struggled to get up but the fall he received had occurred so quickly without his anticipation, causing his ribs to break.

When Elise come nearer, his eyes glowered and he extended his hand to try and repel Elise away, Elise could feel her body becoming lighter. Dodging the attack was not difficult for her only when she realized there had been innocent bystander who would received the attack instead of her if she merely dodge the attack. In hurry, Elise formed a barrier to create a shield between the launched attack and the people who passed.

The humans screamed when they saw smoke blew up near them and Elise raised her voice, "Flee from here. Now!"

The church member was confused but seeing Ernest who then had floated on the air, they knew something was off and made a quick run from the place, to escape for good. Ernest who had suspended on air suddenly frowned as he raised his hand toward his head.

Even though there had been no one else near him other than her, the man had started to whisper. With her keen hearing, Elise could catch the words that had been spoken softly but in aggressive manner.

"…stay down…"

"No!" Suddenly Ernest screamed and he fell to the ground, "Stop it. I don't want this. Not this!"

Elise saw the one man act of conversation. Ernest who had just voiced his dislike then burst out in anger, "I said stand down! Don't blame me for doing what you don't want. Stop resisting!" It was as if there was two side inside Ernest. The one who had warned him to stop and the other who was insisting on becoming evil.

"Please, please don't come near us," Ernest said as he looked at Elise, the words were directed to her. "Stop this, please. You are hurting many people. You are making so many mistakes which cannot redo but you can still stop yourself," said Ernest with a pleading tone to himself.

Next second, his expression changes as he chuckled, "Mistakes? I haven't done that. What I am doing is the right one. Don't stop me. Do not try to stop me from what I am doing brother."

"No…" suddenly Ernest became panicked when he saw his own hand moved toward Elise who was still confused, trying to comprehend what was turmoil Ernest having to himself. "Run, Lady Elise, run! Run from him. Ernest, stop it!"
