The Villainess' Death Game[COMPLETED]

Chapter 29

I'm...supposed to be trapped and die inside that space of memories and time but here I am, eyes opened while spacing out and staring at the high ceiling of this room. This is not Elvira's nor my room in Wefrana...

Pagak na natawa ako nang maalala ang huling sandali bago ako mawalan ng malay sa loob ng espasyong iyon. The system deleted itself. Finally I am free from the system and I no longer am controlled by a game.  But why am I still alive though?

My eyes rotated around and saw those creatures I saw in Myrtle's memories. I suddenly felt scared and got goosebumps. They were all creepily standing around my bed like a grim reaper waiting to collect my soul. Right. This body could not die until I do something about them.

It's uncomfortable to stay on my back to the bed so I sat down. 

"This body is alive so why aren't you leaving?" I look at them. But they just all stared back at me.

"What? Go and talk or might as well leave." 

All I heard was silence. There are lots of questions that I want an answer to. There are millions and billions of people back on Earth and who knows how many universes exist and out of it all, why does it have to be me?  But we can't communicate so there is no use asking that.

"Then begone..." like a magic word I used with the rest of my shadows, it works with them too. 

Like a smoke, they go. Saka palang ako nakahinga ng maluwag. I'm always cold but this time, sweat forms around my forehead as I let my guard down and relax. What the hell was that? They are real and now I have to deal with those creepy creatures. 

"Good gracious they are finally gone!" biglang sumulpot ang imahe ni Elvira sa isang whole body size mirror na nakalagay sa tabi ng kama at nakatapat sa dako ko. 

"What happened, Elvira?" 

"Oh, I thought you were a goner. You've been out for a week now. Lucky that you were still breathing when Lord Wencieli found you at my house if not then It will be the death of me." saad niya.

Bumuntong hininga ako.

"Ciel could not do that."  He might be an undead but still Elvira is much powerful than him. Katulad sa laki ng agwat ng kapangyarihan naming dalawa ni Gyl. I know that I hold power but Gyl is much more powerful than I and I recognized that therefore I choose not to expose my ability to let his guard down before me. Napatigil ako sa pagiisip, bakit bigla nalang ang taong iyon ang pumasok sa isipan ko? 

Gylbard was once a good brother to Myrtle but he became overprotected at dumating sa puntong nasasakal na niya si Myrtle.

"You did not really know him, don't you?"

Kunot noong napatingin ako sa salamin kung nasaan si Elvira. 

"What do you mean by that?"

"I guess you really don't." sabi pa niya. I stared at her, if she didn't talk then my urge to destroy this mirror might win.

"Spill it, Elvira."

"Sige na nga, since you insist I have no choice but tell you." she sighed. Binaba ko ang mga paa sa sahig at naupo sa gilid ng kama, paharap sa whole body mirror.

"Wencieli Ledlucite, before he was cursed by the immortal witch was once the most powerful sorcerer in the continent. He was par with the witch of the origin, the witch of immortality, Petunia."

Ciel was? I was so invested that I wanted her to keep talking.

"Then what happened?" tanong ko.

"Lay down your excitement dear...but his battle with Petunia the Queen of witches, the witch of origin, sealed Wencieli's real ability. Before she could seal his ability Petunia needed a much stronger curse, which is why in exchange for Wencieli's ability was now his immortality." pagpapatuloy pa niya.
