Elise saw the pressure attacks between Mila and Ian when she closed her eyes once to blink, she saw how Mila had used all her crystals to attack Ian. He managed to run and Elise assisted him by destroying some of the few crystals. She pulled back Mila on the ground when she tried to run when all of a sudden, the woman had used an explosive attacks that blew up the space.

Elise was thrown a few ground behind. Her head felt dizzy as she had unluckily fell on the rocky floor.

With one hand against her head, Elise wondered if the fight would end until Mila had exhausted her own soul. But she had stopped thinking as it helped her to pass through the problem without feeling the weighing emotions that stirred inside her heart.

Elise stopped on her feet when Jett asked, "My lady when you kill a person it doesn't make you a bad person," whispered her shadows. "Master, your father, had stated the same. No one wants to hurt others it was only because they had interest that collide horribly with us."

"I know," Elise answered her shadows, her eyes that were clouded with sadness now was over placed with a different emotions that burned a fire inside her eyes, "I will be protecting who I should protect."

She tried to focus her eyes to the battlefield, seeing how Mila had pushed Ian on the ground. Her hands were wrapped in his neck as Ian was suddenly unable to use his power. Ian's eyes turned to look at her, "H-help," he whispered.

Elise's eyes widened as Mila had placed her hand to his chest, readying herself to take out his heart. "No!" Elise shouted and at once, she dashed toward Mila. Her hand went straight, piercing the flesh of the person who was on the ground before Ian.

Blood flowed over her hands and Elise who felt her body entirely cold could only taste the warmth of the blood.

She looked at Mila whose expression froze and stunned while Ian who on the ground had a wide grin that gave her an unsettled feeling. 

"I will see you in hell first," Ian said to Mila but Elise who headed Mila's voice from Ian had her entire blood drained from her body.

Her eyes were unmoving as she looked at her hand that had went through Ian's chest.

She had been prepared to kill Mila, her heart her been set for the guilt and sorrow that will come after only for now she realized the person whose heart she had taken wasn't Mila's but rather... It was Ian's.

Elise's lips gape, horror filled her eyes as she was at lost in what to do. Elise was still in shock as fear as she felt her entire body trembled but she didn't pull her hands out as she knew doing that would be worse.

Ian was shocked but he quickly pulled Elise to his arm, his hand settled on his back while the other wrapped the entire back of her head, "Don't panic, it will be alright," he coaxed her and from behind, Ian could see the grounds and walls had cracked after suffering from the echoes of Elise's innate ability.

"I am alright," Ian cooed her. When he noticed Mila moved, Ian who noticed this didn't forget the woman and utilize his power to blast off the woman on her face, rendering Mila to an unconscious state.

Elise was stuttering, her tears keep falling as she realized her terrible mistake, "I-Ian I... I didn't want to do this. I saw you as Mila, the magic... s-she..."

"Shush," Ian stroked the back of her head slowly. "I will be fine. It isn't a a large injury for me. Calm down Elise, you have to get a hold of yourself."

Elise breathed in and out. She could feel her Min on scatters as she tried to clear her eyes which was overfilled by tears by blinking them away. She did what Ian had told her knowing well that if she let her emotions triumph over her, she will only awakened her ability that she knew she shouldn't. 

Ian let her calm down while her face rested on his broad chest. Elise could feel the taste of iron on her mouth as she had unknowingly been biting to her lower lips, drawing blood to her mouth.

"What should I do? I... I should pulled out my hands now?" Elise knew that when a person is stabbed and if the knife was pulled it would only worsen the injury but Ian had his healing power. 

"Just give me a second," Ian forced a smile while looking at her face but Elise could see the pain on his face that was strange to her.

Elise had not seen it once but she knew Beelzebub had once stabbed Ian's heart but he didn't react like this... in an agonizing pain.

"Ian?" Elise questioned and her eyes that looked at him noticed how his pale had failed to pick back the rosy colors. Cold sweats begin to drip from his forehead. Instead of healing himself and stopping the blood, Elise could feel more blood poured out from his chest.

"Ian?" This time more panic filled Elise's words. "What's wrong? What happened? You can't heal yourself?"

Ian didn't answered and he closed his eyes and lips to endure the pain that he felt. By watching his expression, Elise could already tell that what he felt was the most pain he every felt for years.

"I am fine," Ian said between his clenched teeth while looking at her eyes, forcing a smile while his eyes set to lock on hers. Even though he was in pain, he prioritized Elise's condition before anything.

Elise was in panic. When she thought of how she had killed Ian, her blood went cold as if icy waves had surged and washed over her body, leaving her with the emptiness of fear.

"B-but you are not h-healing," Elise stuttered, her eyes at lost while looking at Ian.

Only at this time that the echoes of the prophecy people had told her rang around her head.

That one day she would kill Ian.

Ian didn't answer but look at her, and he pulled her head to his shoulders again, "No, it wasn't your fault calm down, Elise. I am alright, I will be fine." and his words only caused for more tears to stream down her eyes.
