A World Where You All Are The Villains - Chapter 14.2
‘It’s the first time I’ve ever seen it this close, aside from photos or videos…’
Isn’t it said that when people are truly panicked, their sense of reality dulls?
I was left speechless, just staring at her in shock, when—
“R-Run… away… grrk!”
Eston managed to squeeze out those words, clutching to the last shred of her sanity.
And then.
98% 99%
The numbers above her head shot up at a terrifying pace.
“No!”
Getting swept up in a rampage and dying right after transmigrating into this body…! Honestly, that’s way too much!
‘Why the hell is this happening to me and not the female lead?!’
At that moment, Eston let out a grotesque groan and slowly began to rise.
“Uhh… grk, graaa… mmph!”
“Your voice is way too loud, I’m telling you.”
Shuddering, I reached out and clamped my hand over her mouth.
Then I muttered in a low voice.
“Purify.”
The moment I said it, an odd sensation as if all the blood in my body was rushing to my hand overcame me, and my palm suddenly felt as if it was burning hot.
Whoooosh—!
From the point where I touched Eston, a refreshing wind and a burst of green light exploded outward.
Goooooo…
It looked as though all the miasma was being sucked into my own body, with black smoke writhing up from the surface of Eston’s face.
Instead, the green light streaming from my hand softly enveloped her entire body.
Rotten, foul air mingled with the scent of a forest rich with phytoncides alternated in my nose.
“Ugh, ng…”
My head spun and my stomach lurched.
I squeezed my eyes shut, gagging.
Honestly, I wasn’t confident.
Could I even use my purification power?
And even if I could, would it actually be enough to stop an Awakener’s rampage?
The female lead’s miraculous S-Class purification abilities as described in the novel.
Compared to that, my power was so meager, it felt embarrassing to even call it ‘purification’.
No matter how much I practiced, I could barely manage to clean a single book.
At that moment, all I hoped for was just to buy a little time.
Even just a few minutes… No, a few dozen seconds.
‘Please, just let me buy enough time to run away…!’
But—
95% 87%
When I forced my eyes open to check,
what I saw was, to my shock, the numbers dropping rapidly.
“…Huh?”
Even as dizziness overtook me, I couldn’t help but be stunned.
“It’s… working?”
I couldn’t believe it.
That my purification ability—no, that the body of non-Awakener Edith—could wield such a powerful power.
‘So after transmigrating, I became an S-Class Awakener. Or is it, ‘The revived villainess is actually an S-Class Purifier’ or something…?’
I kept letting out incredulous little laughs, thinking up titles you’d only see in the modern day.
“Hng, mmph, ngh…”
By some miracle, Eston quickly started to stabilize.
The black blood pouring from her eyes, nose, and mouth stopped, and the black veins webbing across her face began to subside.
‘Should I be happy about this, or not…’
And even now, I just stared, dumbfounded, at the numbers above her head.
76%
71%
The rampage meter, which had dropped in an instant, was already nearing 70%.
Fwoosh—!
At that point, I forcefully removed my hand from Eston’s mouth.
This should be enough to say I’d stopped the rampage, and besides, the dizziness was so overwhelming I couldn’t keep my wits about me.
Even after letting go, green light kept streaming out of my hand for a while.
It must’ve been because I still couldn’t control this power properly.
“Haa… huu…”
Breathing raggedly, I stared down at it in bewilderment when…
Thud!
A dull noise rang out.
It was the sound of Eston, who had finally lost consciousness, collapsing onto the floor.
With the roiling miasma calmed, her face—so twisted up before—looked much more at peace.
“Hah… unbelievable, seriously.”
With a frustrated sigh, I ran a hand through my disheveled hair.
In just a short time, the room had become a complete disaster.
The healer who’d come to treat her employer had fainted, thick black fluid was smeared all over the floor…
‘Well, at least it didn’t get anywhere other than my hand.’
Just then—
Knock, knock, knock!
“Milady! It’s me! Is everything alright in there? It sounded like something happened…!”
