Being Cruel Empress
47. End of War

Some of the soldiers protecting Winter and Ellena have already fallen. Not wanting any more casualties, Winter decides to take on Sebastian. Winter runs towards Sebastian, he can't stand Sebastian fighting as he pleases. Sebastian takes one of the warrior's swords and fends off Winter's attack.

"You're fighting for physical strength, my niece?" said Sebastian.

"Don't say much and give all your abilities to me" Winter said.

Winter suppresses his movements and knocks Sebastian back a few steps. Sebastian recognizes the prowess of Winter's sword. Sebastian was not a swordsman, however, because he was a witch. Sebastian puts magic in his sword and turns to attack Winter. Winter evades and attacks as quickly as possible, but Sebastian manages to evade. Sebastian strikes again. This time carrying out a series of attacks on Winter and Winter also deflected the attack as if they could read Sebastian's movements.

Ellena fights an undead army that Sebastian has created. Ellena smashed all the undead into dust. He also faced his mother, the sister of his mother. Unlike the others, the abilities of the academy head were different, even though the undead, but the body of the academy head was the body of a top-tier mage. Ellena attacked, but Ellena's attack was avoided.

Ellena frowned sahi thinking, how to finish off the undead whose strength level is different? Ellena who was silent was suddenly attacked by her Uncle and almost injured, if Ellena did not quickly dodge. Ellena was again attacked, she rolled on the floor so as not to be hit by a magic explosion. Ellena saw her uncle right under the chandelier. Ellena also made the rope chandelier break and the lights fell on the Uncle. At the same time, Ellena immediately approached the Uncle and made a magic circle. He then activated the magic circle, leaving Uncle Ellena locked up and her body burned to the ground. Ellena instantly drooped limp, her energy drained out. He leaned against the wall and looked around. The soldiers are still fighting the undead. Winter and Sebastian are also fighting swords.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" ask Carlos who just came.

"Carlos ... hah hah .. have you done what I told you to do? Huh ... " Said Ellena looking at Carlos.

"That's it, Your Honor. You rest first, I'll handle them" Carlos said.

As Carlos was about to leave, Ellena prevented him from leaving. Ellena held onto Carlos sword and chanted something. Ellena inserts magic in Carlos' sword, hoping Carlos can easily destroy the undead. Ellena suddenly vomited blood, making Carlos panic and worry.

"Your Majesty .." said Carlos frowning.

"That's okay. I'm doing fine. Help His Majesty the Emperor, Lord of the Knights" Ellena said.

Carlos lowered his head, he received the order of the Imperial Empress and left Ellena to head off the enemy. Ellena leaned against the wall, she wiped her lips and looked at the blood on her hands. Ellena clasped her hand tightly, she felt herself so weak that she could do nothing.

Ellena looked away, not far from her she saw the father's body lying down. Ellene tried to stand up and walked slowly closer to his body. The distance was not so far away, but because Ellena's body was limp, Ellena's footsteps weakened. Ellena immediately sat down and hugged the body of the father. He called his father.

"Dad ...."

"Dad, wakeup!"

"Dad .." call Ellena again.

"E-llena .. lenaaa .. "weak murmured Erik.

"I'm sorry A.. Dad, son. Father not bi .. sa guard .. you. My father .. nyesal." said Erick stammered.

"Dad, don't talk. I'll look at Dad's wounds first." Ellena said to check on him.

With trembling hands, Erick tried to hold Ellena's face. Ellena looked down, she brought her face closer so that Ayan had no trouble wiping her face. Ellena was still crying, holding her father's hand.

"Dad loves you very much. I love you .. " said Erick who suddenly limp to death.

Ellena was surprised, "Dad ... Father ... Ayaaahhh .. " cried Ellena hugged Erick.

Ellena recalls the memories for the sake of the memories she went through with her father. He studied with his father, although he had studied with the teacher, he often went to the mountain and disguised himself as a man, because he was wearing men's clothes. Until the time of marriage, Erick held her hand before finally handing it over to Winter. Memories of when they learned magic together, talking, laughing and joking. Ellena can't forget all that.

Ellena was very angry, she wanted to finish off the man who made her father die. Ellena raised her head in search of Sebastian. He sees Sebastian fighting Winter. Looks like Winter's been drained, and hurt. Ellena took the sword not far from her, stood up slowly and dragged it slowly towards Sebastian.

Ellena looked straight ahead, staring intently at Sebastian full of anger. Three undead attacked Ellena, because she did not want her journey to finish Sebastian off in a disturbance, Ellena immediately slashed the three undead with a sword entered by magic. With a single slash, the bodies of the three undead instantly shattered.

Sebastian stops attacking Winter, as he senses a powerful energy approaching him. Sebastian sees Ellena dragging a walking sword towards him. Sebastian laughs at Ellena. Ellene frowned, clutching the sword firmly in her hand and channeling full magic power into it, Ellena ran and attacked Sebastian. Sebastian is unconscious, if Ellena can suddenly telepotrate and suddenly get behind Sebastian. Sebastian was nervous, when Ellena who had been running suddenly did not exist.

"Searching?" ask Ellena who's behind Sebastian.

Sebastian turned around, and Ellena immediately swung her sword at full force towards Sebastian's head. Ellena immediately beheaded Sebastian, and made Sebastian's body immediately fall. Winter is shocked, seeing the wife easily finish Sebastian off.

Not long after Sebastian's body changed, it turns out Sebastian is no longer human, except the incarnation of the devil. Sebastian has given up his own body in exchange for the strength he will get. The demon attacked Ellena, Ellena immediately repelled the attack and counterattacked. Ellena felt something strange in her body, she felt her body was fine, but it was very weak because her energy was drained. However, now it felt like the energy in his body was full of overflowing.

Ellena was attacked, and managed to dodge. The demon is after Winter, Ellene Segers pushes Winter and attacks the demon. Ellena finally managed to corner the demon. Not wanting to lose the chance, Ellena cast a magic spell and made a magic seal, she sealed the isblis so that it would no longer act. The demon was successfully sealed in a sword by Ellena. And the remaining army of undead suddenly disappeared. Ellena instantly suffocated, made a magic seal, and doing the sealing single-handedly was extremely draining of energy. Ellena's gaze suddenly darkened and Ellena fainted.

***

One week later. The fainted Ellena had only woken up after a week had passed. Unable to leave the corpse for too long, the funeral ceremony of the Grand Duke and the others was held while Ellena was still lying unconscious. After waking up and recovering, Ellena came to visit the cemetery. Ellena looked at the headstone of the father carrying a bouquet of roses. Ellena cried, she felt guilty for not being a good daughter and not being able to protect her father. Winter pats Ellena on the back, trying to calm Ellena down. Not far from Ellena and Winter are, Janette is also crying on Mieta's headstone. Carlos accompanied Janette, and calmed Janette down.
