Angel Monarch-Chapter 383: A Mother’s Wrath

After such a long time, Bea finally met her daughter. Her eyes welled with tears just from Vicky's near presence.

But then her guards attacked in perfect unison. They eliminated all of Vicky's defenses and didn't even let her call for help.

Bea screamed soundlessly, as her vocal cords were cut as well. She rattled her chains in desperation, trying to get free and help her daughter.

Then came the syringe. That horrible emptiness that coursed through her very own veins. The feeling of being cutoff from your essence. That suffocating hell… She didn't want her daughter to suffer like she does!

A strange calm took over Bea's body. She took one deep breath and felt the world slow. Her eyes closed for a moment as she collected all her power.

A moment later, they snapped open. Two glowing orbs, but also another color… Deep within her eyes, a bit of gold seemed to appear…

Suddenly, she felt her blood boil as her anger grew. She swore to be compliant, so no citizens of Castleburg would get hurt, but every mother had one limit… Their child!

Bea's greenish skin began glowing too. Slowly, she felt the connection with her essence reestablish.

The Transcended also noticed the strange glow, and turned towards Bea, their faces showing clear surprise.

"Get… Your Fucking… Hands Off… MY DAUGHTER!"

She screamed with all her rage while her muscles flexed. The chain bounding her arms broke without issue, and she instantly jumped forward, like a rabid animal.

Her essence still hadn't fully unlocked, but she could feel her Transcended power returning. A longsword grew from her right palm.

It felt strange holding a weapon again after a year of absence. For a moment, a pang of fear appeared in Bea's heart… Does she remember how to even use it?

While her mind stayed confused, her muscles had no such issues.

She jumped forward in a whirlwind, cutting away a Transcended's arm, stabbing through another one's leg, slashing at a third's back. Before the five Transcended even realized, three of them laid on the ground.

Bea breathed heavily, her body still struggling with the poison. Sadly, she failed to kill or incapacitate the only Transcended who could stop her…

"Ensnare!" Said the woman from the back. Behind her, the other surviving Transcended regenerated his friends' wounds.

Bea stayed standing. However, her muscles stopped working. Her entire body trembled as she struggled to move.

The woman pointed at Bea once more; her face still showing no malic or joy… "Break!"

Suddenly, Bea fell over as every bone broke in her body. She couldn't even scream. The pain was too sudden and overwhelming.

Her vision blurred as tears appeared in her eyes. She laid near her daughter's unconscious form.

The woman, still pointing at Bea, began walking towards her. She knelt before the angry mother, with her hand only centimeters away from Bea's forehead.

"Someone message Xinya! We need evacuation immediately!" Shouted the beautiful woman, kneeling before Bea.

Her bright grayish-green eyes turned back towards Bea. She leaned a bit closer and whispered into her ear.

"Our Master said keeping you alive is top priority, so I won't kill you, but I sure as hell can make you suffer! Try cooperating, and everything will be fine, both for you and your daughter!"

Bea's quick regeneration kicked in, and all her bones mended themselves instantly. She stared into the woman's eyes as a wild grin spread across her face.

"I won't let you leave with either me or my daughter!"

Suddenly, Bea's entire body dissolved into the ground, and moments later the world began trembling. The entire castle and most of Castleburg felt the earthquake shaking everything.

The citizens, soldiers, everybody went out to the streets and balconies. They watched through their windows, pointing at the city's monument, the giant castle in the middle.

The enormous building shook. Its walls fractured and towers broke. Vines began spreading over the stone, suffocating the building.

With a loud bang, a tree's giant trunk broke through the roof. Its branches moved across walls and rooms.

It continued growing higher. After reaching hundreds of meters towering over the castle, its branches began spreading wider, until the tree took over even the castle's surrounding fields.

Green leaves grew on the branches, and flowers… Beautiful, giant, crimson flowers with seven long petals, appeared on every branch, painting the tree red…

The moon's rays seemed to dance around the newly made crimson tree, welcoming it into the world.

Back in the chamber, the five Transcended panicked. They saw magical, horrifying and outright impossible events, but this wasn't something they could ever prepare for!

A branch grew straight into the chamber. A single human-sized flower appeared on the branch. Something moved in it, and soon the crimson flower bloomed!

Bea stepped out from the flower, clad in intricate crimson armor, with a long sword growing out of her hand. Behind her back, a pair of glowing green energy wings appeared.

"Shit, message Xinya! We need EVAC right now!" Shouted the ensnaring woman, while another Transcended furiously typed on his watch.

Bea's eyes snapped at the person typing. She took seemingly one step forward and appeared before the Transcended. Both his hands flew through the air, blood dripping from the wounds.

The wooden floor below began blooming smaller crimson flowers wherever the blood drops landed.

He tried screaming, but soon roots grew out of the floor, enveloping his entire body. They penetrated his skin. They moved through his veins and muscles until they reached his heart.

Thorns grew from the roots as they enveloped the man's heart in a suffocating embrace. In the next moment, he died, leaving only blooming crimson flowers behind.

From the giant branch, vines grew and slowly moved along the floor. They reached Vicky's unconscious body, gently enveloping and lifting her.

They pulled her towards the main branch, where a large, blooming flower hugged her small body. It enclosed and kept her safe, while Vicky's mother deals with the threat.

The ensnaring woman cursed once more as she watched their prey disappear. From a single look, she knew exactly that opening that flower wasn't possible for them.

While her enemies were still distracted, Bea moved towards the second Transcended. His whirling eyes made Bea's brain sluggish, slowing her thought process.

Her body, however, didn't need the brain to operate. With a single slash, she bisected the man from crotch to head.

The two halves plopped to the ground, his innards falling out. More crimson flowers grew around the second corpse.

The ensnaring woman typed on her watch, sending message after message to Xinya. Finally, after many excruciating seconds, she received a simple answer… 'On my way!'

Bea rushed towards two more Transcended. They tried summoning weapons, but Bea's speed overwhelmed them too quickly.

They fell to the ground in a shower of blood, causing a field of crimson flowers to grow.

The last Transcended pointed at Bea and opened her mouth. Before any words could've left her lips, Bea appeared before her, with the woman's hand separated from her arm.

She then stabbed forward with her longsword, aiming for the woman's widened, terrified eyes. Just as the blade was about to impale her, suddenly, it broke into hundreds of wooden splinters.

As fast as possible, Bea jumped to the side while turning around. A sixth Transcended appeared inside the room.

The woman wore some kind of robe. Her silvery-white hair gently blew in the night's breeze. Her piercing, dark blue eyes stared at the ensnaring woman with obvious disapproval.

What truly fascinated Bea was the magnificent, dark, curved blade held by the strange newcomer. There were strange symbols etched into its surface, making the weapon even more breathtaking.

The pale woman had similar features to Kim, but she also seemed different. Her paleness wasn't just from her natural skin tone, but from exhaustion. Under her fierce eyes, dark bags hinted at her tiredness.

She clicked her tongue a few times, while looking at the corpses and shaking her head.

"You're all so useless… Can't do anything on your own. Pathetic!"

The ensnaring woman fell to her knees, blood still trickling from her hand. While avoiding looking into the newcomer's eye, she pointed at the large crimson flower.

"That's where the Princess is… She's still unconscious…"

The woman snorted haughtily, then began walking towards the crimson flower, without even glancing at Bea.

Bea, of course, didn't care if the woman ignored her. She just grew another sword and attacked the woman faster than anyone could've reacted.

Xinya just sighed sadly and cut the air with her dao. Suddenly, Bea's body exploded into blood and little pieces of flesh.

The Asian woman just continued walking with a sad smile… "Dammit, my Mentor won't like this outcome. We should've kept her alive!"

"Don't worry, asshole! I'm not dead yet!" Came the shout from behind Xinya.

She halted and glanced back, surprise evident on her pale face. The pieces of flesh knitted themselves together extremely fast.

Xinya's eyes widened and she cut with her dao once more. Again, Bea exploded into a bloody cloud, only to regenerate a second later.

Her laughter echoed inside the chamber as she took one step closer to Xinya. The Asian woman tried slashing Bea again, and again, and again. However, each time Bea exploded, she regenerated faster and faster, closing in the distance.

After about the hundredth cut, she didn't even explode. Only cuts appeared over her body, which knitted themselves immediately.

The next cut, Xinya tried to make, was stopped by Bea's own weapon!
