World End: The Successor's Contract

Chapter 77 Final Fight II: Could I Do That? For Love?



Uta stood on top of a rock, watching as Zeno and Lucifer fought in the sky with sparks and waves of magic energy following around the place.

Clenching her fist Uta jumped down from the rock, "I need to go help him." She uttered.

As soon as her leg touched the ground, a magic seal showed up and she was unable to move from that spot.

"The hell?!" Uta yelled as she struggled to raise her leg but it was to no avail.

"I'm sorry Uta, but I have to do this." Shuna said, walking toward Uta from the front with a gloomy look on her face.

With a sigh, Uta uttered, "This was you? Shuna this is no time to mess around, can't you see there's a fight literally happening right now?!" She exclaimed.

"Have you heard about the Leviton flame?" Shuna asked.

"You mean the flame gifted to Zeno by the goddess, of course, I have, what does that have to do with anything?" Uta asked.

Looking to the side with the same Gloomy look, Shuna struggled to utter a comment which was starting to worry Uta.

"Shuna? Is something going on?" Uta asked calmly.

Gathering her confidence, Shuna looked at Uta, "Although it is true that the Leviton flames burn helps the wielder defeat demons and supernatural beings, it… it also has the same effect on the user." She revealed.

Uat paused after hearing it, "What do you mean by that Shuna?" She asked in a strange manner.

"Depending on how long the fight lasts, the Successor will surely perish once the flames makes it way inside his bodu." Shuna said with a straight face.

"Shuna…" Uta called out with a cold voice, "If anything happens to him… I'll kill you." She uttered while sending a death stare at Shuna.

But Shuna was unfazed, she kept her head high even though she was on the brink of crying.

She looked at Uta and uttered, "It's been 900 years already, and throughout this time the only thing the world has shown him is suffering.

I assure the Successor knew what he was doing when he took the flames, he can finally return back to heaven and not-".

"Like hell I'm going to let that happen." Uta said coldly, "The way I see it you have two options here, you help me save him… or you join the bitch I'm going to kill, your choice".

Shuna gulped down her saliva, "There's no way you're actually cool with letting the Successor suff-"

"There's no Uta without Zeno, we were meant to be even after three Goddamn reincarnations… no one should even think of separating him from me." Uta said while still carrying the same cold expression.

"What is this I hear about Zeno returning to heaven?".

Rachel voiced out as she stood up from the ground with the injury on her neck completely healed up.

Shuna immediately moved back, "How are you still moving… Lucifer killed you." She uttered in shock.

Rubbing her neck, she walked toward Uta, "Well I can't die if my main body is still intact." She shook her head and continued, "You seem to be trapped.".

Uta immediately looked at her with the rage that was building up inside her, "Break the magic circle!" She yelled.

Rachel looked at Uta's feet and saw the circle there, "Walking into a trap like an idiot…typical you, fun to watch though, I wonder what I should do." She teased.

"Please don't!" Shuna shouted, "If you do, she's going to stop the Successor's death from happening".

"What?" Rachel turned to Shuna, with a furious look on her face, "What do you mean… 'stop his death?'," she asserted.

"Shit".

Shuna immediately remembered that Uta and Rachel were the same people, "Sorry" She yelled and summoned another magic circle above Shuna.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" Rachel protested, struggling to move her body from the circle.

She threw her staff and fell to her knees, cleaning her eyes before she could cry any louder than she already was, both Uta and Rachel were shocked by it.

Taking a deep breath, Uta looked to the sky to see the huge blast that was occurring while Zeno and Lucifer battled.

She looked at Shuna, "I admire you Shuna, you are willing to lock up your feelings to make another happy, but I'm not like you, I'd rather keep Zeno with me forever… than leave a life without him!".

"Ahhhhh!"

Uta screamed in rage with her magic force backing her up as she sought to force her movement.

All her energy was gathered at her right leg, The raging scream Uta was giving out drew Rachel's and Shuna's attention.

Several cuts mysteriously appeared on Uta's face. The magic circle gradually messed with her body's magic circuit causing her magic to build up inside her to a dangerous degree.

Due to this abnormal build-up, her right eye burst open with blood trailing down her face and dripping to the floor.

A scream in pain could be heard from Uta's lips as she felt the bones in various parts of her body twist out of their usual positions, visibly poking underneath her skin.

Nevertheless, even though her body was bathed in her blood, she stomached the pain and chose to continue.

With one final push, Uta removed her right leg from the magic circle, once it was out she used her right leg to smash the magic circle with all her strength causing it to shatter.

Shuna and Rachel were left speechless as they watched Uta stand to her feet and charge away from their position.

"She's going to try and stop it!" Rachel shouted and immediately grabbed her stuff from the ground and flew after Uta.

Rachel fell to her knees with a shocked look on her face as she stared at the ground, "Could I do that?" She gave a nervous chuckle as she stared at Uta's eye on the ground, "Like hell… I gotta admit Uta, you bested me,".

Uta ran past the first village after the Carnon and was heading to where she could sense Zeno's energy the most.

Looking at the sky on her left, she could still see the flashes of Zeno's blue flames battling with someone which reassured her she was heading in the right direction.

"Uta! Hold on and think about this!" Rachel shouted as she chased after Uta but still couldn't catch up.
