Voyage Of The Villainess

"I'm going to be dumb?" Malaya said with a grin. "That really sounds terrifying. But you must have an antidote for the poison as well, am I right?"

"Of course." the bald stitch guy said. "However if you don't consume the antidote for three hours, it would be too late for you."

"Is that so?" Malaya prepared her Trinity. "That's so nice of you to tell me. It will be not so an honor for me to be your opponent." She sprinted towards the bald stitch guy. The guy simply side stepped. But the snake in his hands suddenly jumped towards Malaya.

Without any thought, Malaya blocked the snake with her Trinity. The sharp fangs of the snake imbued deeply on the body of Trinity.

Malaya immediately smashed the Trinity on the ground along with the snake. Blood and flesh from the snake's brain splattered on the ground. Without wasting any time, Malaya once again sprinted towards the bald guy.

Her mind had only one thing. 'I need to defeat this stitch guy and get the antidote immediately. And if ever, he will definitely get everyone back there.' Malaya with her Trinity began to launch her attack.

"I can truly sense from the beginning that you have good fighting abilities and I admit I'm impressed, but too bad that won't be enough to defeat me." The stitch guy said completely having fun at Malaya's attacks.

Malaya remained silent. She raised her Trinity, and the stitch guy moved to his left to evade it.

'Got yah!' Malaya raised her right foot. 

'This!' The stitch guy didn't see the attack and got his foot kicked. He lost his balance and suddenly fell on the ground.

Malaya immediately used this chance and pressed him on the ground. She clicked the second button of her Trinity. And two blades appear at the end of it. Just before Malaya could pierce it to his neck, she stopped just an inch closer.

The stitch guy grinned. "Why? What's the problem, kill me now?"

Malaya tightened her hold on the Trinity. 

'Kill... Have I killed anyone directly before?'

The stitch guy saw her hesitation, he used this chance to free himself from Malaya. He raised his hands and multiple different types of snakes were coming all at once at Malaya. 

"Hahaha! You only have two choices. Kill me or you'll die!." The stitch guy moved his head forward.

Malaya's eyes widened. 

Due to the sudden movement, the Trinity which was near to the man's throat, pierced through his flesh.

The stitch guy convulsed with blood from his mouth and died. All the snakes disappeared and slowly became dust.

The man's skin started to form cracks. Fire started to erupt through the cracks that made Malaya jumped a few steps behind. The fire burned the man until he became only his ashes were left.

And on his ash, a singular black Lobelia bloomed. This was how a dark mage death would look like.

Malaya just let go of her Trinity, the blood of the man, splattered in her hands. 

"He's already dead." Malaya glanced at the single black Dahlia flower above the ashes of the man. She clenched her fist, compared to the duke of Taleba before, who self-destructed, this one was quite different from others, since he died by her own hands. 'No,' Malaya took a deep breath. 'Since I came to this world many lives have already been lost because of me.'

She remembered both Jules and her father who died because of her. She took a deep breath. ' After all those things happen I truly have no right to act like some hypocrite now, to something like this. And besides if I let that man live, the witch might locate our whereabouts. This is the right measure to take for us to survive.'

Malaya glanced at her hands soaked with blood. Her mind was blank as she picked up her Trinity and shook off the blood on it. She pressed the third button and the grappling rope appeared. She walked towards the other unconscious cloaked people, gathered them and tied them all at once in the big tree.

Malaya had no worry, even if these men woke up, they would not be able to use their magic since the rope for her grappling was made with the same materials used for nullifying magic in slaves.

'But we might not know, even if they got tied, for sure, there are some different ways they can still escape and tell everything to the witch about what happened. If I kill them...'

Malaya tightened the grip to her Trinity. 'In this situation, we are still at risk. I don't have any choice now and I can't let them live.' She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Malaya removed the grappling rope from her Trinity. Then she raised both her hands towards the first man, 'I apologize but it's either me or you will die in this situation.' 

She firmed herself as she struck down her Trinity without a moment of hesitation. But just before it could stab the man, they started burning with dark flames. 

Malaya stepped a few steps away, so she would not get inflicted with the dark flames.

"Burning them will be fast." Kayden's cold voice resounded from behind her. 

"Malaya!" Lila happily called her name.

When Malaya turned around, the two kids from before were behind Kayden.

"That's right." Malaya agreed with a wry smile. Somewhat, since Kayden was here already, she could feel a bit relieved now. Though she didn't know what his intentions were, since he was not attacking her like before, and even surprisingly helped her, everything should be fine now.

"Malaya are you alright?" Lila ran and locked Malaya's waist with her hug. The little girl looked at her with worry.

Malaya smiled and gestured to pat the head's girl but when she saw the dried blood on her hands, she stopped. She simply closed her fist.

"Don't worry, I'm alright. And I'm done beating up all those bad guys as well. Both of you should be safe now." Malaya just simply stated.

Lila pulled out from her hug. "Sis Malaya is really strong." She said with all smiles on her face. "When I grow up I want to become like you." 

Seeing the smiling child, the heavy feeling inside Malaya was also dissipating.

Malaya kneeled to approach the height of Lila and smiled at her. "Listen, you don't need to become like me okay? simply be Lila in light of the fact that you are born to become Lila not to become someone else." Malaya put the hand of the child on her chest. "Just follow your heart and  you will become the person you want to be."

"If Sis Malaya said so, I will do that!" Lila said with all smiles.

"You don't look right." Kayden suddenly walked towards them. 

"Huh?" Malaya looked at him confused but all of the sudden she felt a throbbing sensation on her ankle and she was getting dizzy as well.  "I almost forgot, the antido..."

Malaya's legs became numb. 'Crap! Why all of a sudden I forgot that.' The next thing she knew whe was nearing the ground.

But none of that happened. Rose scent assaulted her nose, as she landed in someone's lean and firm chest. 

"You really seem to have a habit of hurting yourself."

Malaya immediately straightened herself when she fell on Kayden's chest. That somewhat waked her from the pain. The dizzying was already gone but her ankle was still throbbing. 

"Ah. You could say that haha." Malaya awkwardly laughed.
