The Rebel
Chapter 56

Those who brought Elysium to life must die from this.

Or even a won battle can be lost without him.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

The The aura in the arena suddenly changed, as everyone watched the fight in disbelief.

Their speeds were unmatched and the occasional grunt was the only sound that made it clear who was winning.

Vera was no longer Vera, the black substance extending to her neck, now even to her chin.

And her piercing, deadly hazel eyes stared back at him.

She was different than anyone had ever seen before.

She herself had become a beast.

Everyone was too scared to intervene, even though they couldn’t in the bloody and degraded state.

Rosie breathed heavily in her partner’s lap, telling him to be strong.

Alex already unconscious, with too much b***d loss.

Arnold stared at his father, whose body was shaking and choking, while Kane was all bloodied, his eyes struggling to stay open.

He stood at a distance, among them, but apart, adjusting his body to the bark of the tree.

With everyone’s attention on the battle of the beasts, his attention shifted to something else.

Tracing her arm with his b***d covered fingers, he watched closely as her skin turned dark.

What he saw only confirmed his theory.

They were all going to die, including his Queen, who was losing her mind.

The veins on his shoulder, where he had just been scratched by the beast, were darkening… …They looked like those he had seen on Queen Vera.

And he looked at everyone, knowing that they were all going to experience the same thing.

The poison would start to spread through their veins and they might die or turn into beasts like those two in the arena.

It was just a matter of time.

Benjamin had gone beyond the limits of reason that day… The poison rushed through his veins like never before… Even spreading into his claws.

Everyone who was scratched by him tonight was going to die.

And if he counted, there would be hundreds, if not thousands.

After all, isn’t that what happened in history?

The story of centuries past where hundreds of girls died in a village, poison spreading through their veins.

The only difference being that there were not only women but also men this time.

And such was their fate that they had no antidote this time.

He sighed and leaned his head against the bark of the tree.

Trying to gather all his strength and not put pressure on his wounds, because he knew that in the end he would need the strength of every cell in his body and maybe even more than that.

He knew he was going to be both the savior and betrayer of everyone there.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … .. .The

duo was coming to an end, both trying to keep the upper hand.

Their breathing becoming heavy and their reflexes slowing.

The scene was breathtaking.

We saw a girl a third of the beast’s size tackle him to the ground.

Her dagger right next to her neck as she heard the crowd cheering.

“Reeeeebelle!” Reeeeebelle! Reeeeebelle! »

This gave her a boost of energy and she broke her hand, twisting it at a painful angle.

Her body convulsed in pain, tears left her eyes.

“Those weren’t the disgusting hands you used to force women!” »

“Ahhhhh…”

He cried out and she twisted her fingers further.

A crunch was heard, which made him smile and gave him pleasure.

The crowd was not afraid, but inspired by the bravery of the women.

They applauded again.

“Reeeeeebelle!” Reeeeeebelle! »

But she hadn’t finished yet, she had just started.

Making sure to break every bone in her fingers, she pulled out the dagger.

Staring at the blade and his face.

“Benjamin begs. That

‘s all she said and he screamed, trying to get away from her. But he could not. Her legs… She made sure to immobilize them first.

She dislocated her knee, then twisted it to break it.

Holding her now broken hand to the ground, she pinned it, leaving Benjamin to give a sick smile.

“Please… No… Please…”

He said and his smile was replaced with a coldness, which froze the entire arena.

Dropping the dagger, she did so.

First by breaking it, then by cutting it.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh. »

He screamed, but she didn’t give him time to recover.

the black substance spreading inside her was out of control.

The fire of vengeance burns even brighter, justice standing above all.

And Karma?

It was his call.

Too absorbed in madness, she forgot that she was losing control, which put her on the verge of madness.

Even crazier than Benjamin was.

After all, it takes steel to cut steel.

And only a beast can kill another beast.

“You liked having fun with them.” Is not it ? Have fun now, Benjamin. »
