Chapter 317 Ellena's Determination



"I refuse, and I will end everyone that tries to bring chaos to my kingdom, your beloved competition will remain a dream, besides I have everything I want right now and if I want something in future I will achieve it myself,"

Squeezing the neck of gender-bended Amos, Velian said while increasing the intensity of his flame.

And before he could finish Amos, Ellena came forward and looked at her with begging eyes.

"Give him back, please, we will find you a different body, please leave that body,"

She couldn't even see her as Amos with all the demonic look on her body. The only thing that looked like Amos was her eyes which were squinting because of the pain, Velian gave her.

Suddenly Amos went silent like she lost consciousness. And when she opened her eyes, it looked like the same kind of eyes that real Amos had. They were filled with love and care for Ellena.

"Ellena, help me! Get closer to me, I want to see your face," In a hoarse voice, Amos muttered without any blood lust, but Velian instantly knew what was happening.

'Does he take me for an idiot? I will crush her neck before Ellena does something stupid because of emotions'

He thought and looked at Ellena to see whether she was crying.

But the look on her face can only be explained as a disappointment. Even though he had the same tone of speaking and the same expression real Amos made, it was rather clear to Ellena that it was just the parasite.

Ellena's disappointment quickly turned into a cold and calculating expression as she realized the truth about the parasite in Amos' body. She knew that the real Amos was long gone and that this creature was just trying to manipulate her.

"My lord," she said in a low voice, "finish him. Please free Amos' body from this creature,"

Velian didn't need any further explanation. He knew that Ellena was right and that this was the only way to stop the parasite from doing any more harm.

As Velian tightened his grip around the neck of parasitic Amos, the creature began to thrash and scream.

"What are you doing? Get away from me, you fool!" It spat at Velian, its eyes wild with fear and anger.

"I'm Amos, why are you killing me? Kyla! Ellena! Help me, this man is going to kill me, Kyla give me your body,"

Velian didn't flinch as the creature lashed out, instead, he simply raised his hand, summoning the violet flames that danced across his fingertips.

"Your time is up," Velian said calmly, his voice firm and unyielding.

"You think you can kill me? You're nothing but a worthless piece of-"

The creature's insults were cut short as Velian unleashed the full force of the violet flames upon it. The flames quickly spread across the creature's body, burning away its flesh and leaving nothing but a pile of ash in its wake.

As the creature died, it cursed Velian, its voice filled with anger and hatred.

"You'll pay for this, Velian! I curse you with every last breath in my body! May your life be filled with misery and pain! One of my cells will consume your body and leave you in agony,"

Velian didn't respond to the creature's curses, instead, he simply stood there, watching as the violet flames died down and the creature's body turned to ash.

He knew that what he had done was necessary, but that didn't make it any easier. Amos had been a good man, a friend, and now he was gone, replaced by this creature that had tried to take over his body.

But Velian refused to let the creature win. He would honour Amos' memory by ensuring that the parasite never harmed anyone else again.

With a heavy heart, Velian turned and walked away, leaving behind the ashes of the creature and the memory of the friend he had lost.

Ellena watched as the parasite's body fell to the ground, and she felt a wave of relief wash over her. It was over, and the real Amos could finally rest in peace.

She turned to Velian and gave him a small nod of thanks with a forced smile. He had been there for her when she needed him the most, and she knew that she could always count on him.

"Let's go," Velian said, putting a hand on her shoulder, "we need to get out of here before anyone else shows up."

Ellena nodded and quickly everyone went back to the cave to get ready to leave this place.

On their way, nobody expect Daphnia to be willing to talk, but as soon as they arrived at the cave, all three of them broke into tears while hugging Velian.

Velian didn't know what to say, he had no idea how to deal with a situation like this. He knew everything he can do is take care of them as Amos wished and make his dream a reality.

"Kyla! After this tour, you will serve directly under me, while protecting these two, I can't show any favour to them, so teach them everything a noble should know," Velian muttered hoping they would understand.

"My lord!" As soon as he finish saying that Ellena looked at Velian with begging eyes.

"I want to kill those parasites! I want to erase them from existence, please teach me how to use that flame, take me as your disciple,"

She requested while wiping all the tears on her face. She looked like a real woman when she said that with determination etched as a tattoo on her face.

Revenge is a good fuel for growth, so Velian decided to give it a try.

"Fine! Aiko and you will both learn this message, there should be someone to carry my legacy,"

Daphnia watched from afar as her son, the young hero, was surrounded by people clamouring for his attention. She couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in her chest as she witnessed the awe and respect that he commanded.

The people looked at him with reverence, their eyes shining with admiration and hope. They knew that he was their only hope in a world fraught with danger and uncertainty. And yet, despite the weight of their expectations, her son stood tall and unwavering, his gaze fixed on the task at hand.

He listened to each of them with patience and understanding, his voice a calming balm to their troubled souls. He offered them advice and guidance, and they hung on his every word, knowing that he possessed wisdom far beyond his years.

"I feel like an old lady seeing this!" Daphnia muttered and prepared breakfast for everyone.
