Chapter 447 It's over, Lathel
As soon as the maid's scream rang out, everyone immediately gathered in Charlotte's room.
Catheryne and Akna had instructed everyone to take good care of Charlotte, with the latter saying that they should inform her if there was any problem. This is why the maid only needed to scream before people rushed to this place, including Akna.
She quickly led everyone into the room and arrived at Charlotte's bedside.
Seeing more wrinkles appear on Charlotte's face and her hair also starting to turn white, she was startled.
"Let me see!" Suddenly, Lilith appeared.
"Lilith…" Akna felt relieved when she saw Lilith, and she immediately gave way for her to approach.
Lilith approached Charlotte, then started muttering some kind of language. Immediately after, a large magic circle appeared above Charlotte's body.
Suddenly, Lilith frowned, then waved her hand; the magic circle disappeared, and she also sighed.
"You guys… Prepare a coffin; her life has come to an end."
"What do you mean?" Akna was startled.
Lilith looked at everyone present, then glanced at Akna to signal her.
Akna also understood that something was wrong and immediately asked everyone to leave. Only Akna and Lilith were left in the room.
Lilith then spoke: "You also know that there is a blood contract between Charlotte and Lathel, right?"
Akna nodded.
As for Lathel being a half vampire, she and Lilith both knew this. Akna frowned and asked: "Is this related to the blood contract between Charlotte and Lathel?"
"That's right." Lilith explained: "You also know that Lathel is currently confronting the Demon Lord to strengthen the seal; however, we cannot continue to observe him."
"Maybe… Lathel is in danger, and Charlotte wants to save him. That is why Charlotte is transferring her life energy through the blood contract to Lathel."
"What do you mean?" Akna frowned: "Charlotte is sacrificing herself so that Lathel can live."
Lilith shook her head: "I don't know whether the disappearance of the blood contract will have any effect on Lathel or not. After all, the blood contract is very strange and complicated."
"At least… we can understand that Charlotte is sacrificing herself so that Lathel can live."
"But…" Akna thought of something and asked: "Is Lathel in mortal danger?"
"Maybe."
"We…"
"Akna!" Lilith sighed and said: "I know what your thoughts and feelings are right now; however, you must calm down."
"You should know that… I, like you, am also worried about him. However, the Demon Lord's space is completely separate from the real world; we cannot save him."
"What we can do is pray and believe in him."
"Also… we can replenish Charlotte's life energy, so she can continue to replenish Lathel's life energy without danger."
"If she continues like this, she will definitely die."
As soon as Lilith finished speaking, she took out a lot of medicinal herbs. They floated in the room thanks to her magical energy. The scent of medicinal herbs was so strong that it made Akna have difficulty breathing.
"Go out! I will try to save Charlotte."
Hearing Lilith's words, Akna also nodded; she immediately went out and then told everyone to keep watch and that no one should come close.
Although Akna also likes Lathel very much, she also respects his feelings.
Maybe… she knew how important Charlotte was to him. Charlotte even sacrificed her life energy to save Lathel; that was enough for Akna to respect her.
Akna also knew that if Charlotte died, Lathel would definitely collapse. She is also not the selfish type, so she hopes that Lilith can save Charlotte.
In the room, Lilith waved her hand, and a blue wind appeared. She then muttered: "Goddess of spring, bring the breath of God close to this little creature."
"Let this world bask in the happiness that God brings."
"Let God's life shine on this world, like sunlight, forever and ever."
Immediately after, countless magic circles appeared. Each magic circle encases a medicinal herb inside.
Those magic circles began to dissolve the medicinal herbs into drops as small as raindrops. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Lilith clasped her hands together, and those drops of water began to fuse together. She then whispered: "Ah! I intended to save these medicinal herbs for Lathel; however, for now I have to use them for you."
"Charlotte, I know… if you die, Lathel will definitely be sad. I don't want him to be sad; I want him... to be happy forever."
"Fusion!"
Immediately after, the water droplets began to condense into a pill that emitted a blinding blue color. The life energy inside that pill was so terrifying that it made the people who were outside realise that something had just appeared inside the room.
However, no one asked any questions or said anything. They all knew that they had no right to ask.
Lilith then fed the pill to Charlotte.
As soon as the medicine entered Charlotte's mouth, Lilith used magic to make the medicine dissolve inside her mouth.
After a moment, Charlotte's skin began to reverse the ageing process. The wrinkles became less, and the hair returned to its original red and black colour.
Seeing this, Lilith breathed a sigh of relief; however, she did not rush to leave but stood still in the room, watching Charlotte.
Just two minutes later, suddenly, Charlotte's skin wrinkled again, as if the ageing process had returned.
Lilith felt like crying: "Oy! You... Can you stop transmitting your life energy to him?"
"Keep it for yourself; you need life energy more than him. Don't worry, he won't die; he can't die."
"Oy! Did you hear what I said?
Lilith screamed in despair. Charlotte's life energy continued to flow away, and she was ageing even faster than before.
In just a few minutes, Charlotte's hair turned completely white. There were signs of decay on her skin, as if she were a piece of wood that had spent thousands of years, about to rot into ashes.
"You… AAA!!! You are truly crazy." Lilith shouted, and she searched her space bag to see if there were any medicinal herbs left to use.
However, there were no longer any medicinal herbs inside to replenish Charlotte's life energy. Finally… Lilith made a crazy decision.
"AAA!! If you don't need your life to help him, then I will do the same as you."
Lilith shouted, then placed her hands on Charlotte's body. Life energy from Lilith's body was continuously transmitted to Charlotte, then from Charlotte to Lathel.
Lilith's body also began to age; her skin was wrinkled like that of a 70-year-old woman, and her hair was also white. If this continues, she will end up like Charlotte.
BAM!
Suddenly, a stream of blood-coloured smoke knocked Lilith back. She was concentrating on transferring her life energy to Charlotte, so she didn't pay attention to her surroundings.
Besides… her body had weakened a lot; even if she could see that blood-coloured smoke, she couldn't stop it.
At this moment, Charlotte's body gradually dissolved, turning into a pile of ash on the bed.
Lilith reached out her old, wrinkled, and trembling hand towards the bed as if wanting to grasp something, but it was too late.
Finally… She retracted her hand, then opened the window, flew into the air, and disappeared.
…
GRAOOO!!!
Lathel was almost no longer human at this point. Just like the Demon Lord said, his attack pattern was extremely basic, as he was only acting on instinct.
The two fought desperately, but Lathel's body was full of cuts as his blood flowed out and drenched his body.
However, he didn't care about the wound at all; he just frantically attacked the Demon Lord with everything he had.
With his hands, feet, head, and even teeth.
The Demon Lord was different; he seemed much more leisurely than before. He was just gently dodging, then counterattacking, and keeping his distance.
Whoosh!
The wind whistled as Lathel's other hand also broke off and fell to the ground.
GRAWW!!
Lathel screamed, his roar filled with pain and anger.
"Hahahaha… Get angrier, kid. You're making me feel better."
"Well, the death of a girl has made you this crazy; what if I kill everyone you love?"
"Hahahaha… I bet that will be fun."
Lathel did not answer; he opened his mouth, revealing two fangs, biting towards the Demon Lord.
Bang!
Lathel's fangs could not bite the Demon Lord, but only the scythe.
The Demon Lord swung his scythe hard, breaking two of Lathel's fangs.
"Die!"
BAM!
The Demon Lord swung his leg and kicked Lathel in the chest, causing him to fly backwards, hitting the ground like a meteorite.
Lathel lay in a deep hole, her body shaking violently. He wanted to stand up, but it seemed that his magical energy and life energy were not enough for him to do so.
Lathel's body was in intense pain as if his body was about to break into pieces. Even though his consciousness had returned at this time, it was also gradually becoming hazy.
The scene in front of him was twisted like a wrinkled cloth. He only saw the Demon Lord holding a scythe, the puppet's head with a hole in the middle as if looking at him with contempt.
The Demon Lord appeared again, his scythe pressed against Lathel's neck, and said softly: "It's over, Lathel."
