The Fox Goddess

Chapter 577 Evolution Part 10

Ding!

[Congratulations! The host has now finished her second Trial and can now move on to her third Trial. The host can also take a little break if she wishes to as it wouldn't affect or cause any harm in her Trial.]

"Don't care, just get it over with and start with my Final Trial. I want to get this over with." Yuki said coldly as she turned around with a cloth in her hand and began to wipe the blood that got into her body. Even though she hates the blood of her enemies getting on her body, whenever she tortures someone, it's the time when it doesn't bother her because that's what she wants to see, for her victim to spew out blood.

But thanks to Ayame's gift to her, the gloves. The blood that she gets on her body gets lessened, at most, it was her blood thanks to her reckless fighting that gets onto her body. With the gloves on, she helps her clean her body every 30 minutes by removing all the unwanted stuff, but of course, that kind of cleaning is still not enough for Yuki as she still needs to clean her own body. Some people might even find it strange for a cultivator like her to still take baths regularly even though she can just clean her body with her powers, but Yuki was not contended with just that. That is why she still takes a bath.

She threw the dirtied cloth on the ground and froze it before leaving it to shatter into a million pieces as she now sat in a lotus position before accepting the challenge of the Final Trial. This was the Trial that she was looking forward to the most because it was the most interesting for her, she knew what a Demon Heart was because of Fumiko's nonstop banter about her love for fictional stories. So she already had a little understanding of what it was.

From what she remembered Fumiko told her, It was something that the person feared the most, it could be also something that they desired the most that drove them to do evil things. If it was all of that she was curious to see what would show up, if it was something related to fear, there was nothing she feared. From this point on, there was nothing she could fear, not even Gods, if there was one, then it would be when the people she cared for the most left her.

"I'm curious now… what will you show me? Is it going to be something or someone, nonetheless… let me see what my demon heart is~" Yuki smiled as she felt her consciousness fading away and when she finally woke up again, she found herself in a pit of darkness all alone.

Because of this, she was disappointed because she thought that her fear was being alone, but it was quite the opposite. That is actually the thing that she wants, or at least is what she was thinking right now, but then something clicked into her mind just as she was thinking that all of this was just a child's play.

"Fufufu… I see now, this thing is messing up with my head. It's true that I love being alone, but now I have people who are waiting for me to come back, and I'm no longer alone. With that, I guess I would hate it if I became all alone again, but this is not enough to shake me." Yuki chuckled when she finally understood all of it and when she finally got out of that darkness, she thought that everything was already over because she was now back in that Ice Palace.

But then, she felt that something was wrong, and when she looked around she saw the people that she cared about being in the worst possible scenario. All of them were inside their own coffins with flowers all around them, but that was not all. She then saw an adult version of her wearing a black suit with a cold face, but underneath it, Yuki could see the grief and agony in them.

Yuki didn't even realize it herself, but her eyes were already starting to drop tears in them, and her body was already making its way to one of those coffins. When she finally got there, she saw the body of Kurokami lying there silently and peacefully as if nothing could disturb her, and when she looked at the other coffins it was all the same. Whether it was Ayame, Serene, Fumiko, Yumie, Katsumi, and Aika. All of them were lying inside peacefully.

Before Yuki knew it, she felt that her heart had died at that moment after seeing how all of them were now dead right in front of her. She didn't even realize that all of it was because of her Demon Heart playing with her, but even so, all of it felt too real for her.

"How… how did this happen?" Yuki bit her lips which caused them to bleed, she also clenched her hands so hard that it began to dig through her skin. She was feeling so much pain at this moment that she found it hard to breathe as she just knelt there on the ground while thinking so much in her head.

"This is your Demon Heart, if you accept it you'll die." Suddenly, Yuki heard a voice that she couldn't even tell whether it came from a man or woman that made her snap back to reality. She was so caught up in this moment that she didn't realize that all of it was just a play, suddenly her surroundings turned into a Tundra as she held the older version of herself and asked in a very cold tone.

"Who are you?"

"Hahaha… so you finally noticed? I'm your Demon Heart of course, and this is the thing that you fear the most. Losing all you beloved one… now what are you going to do, Ayase Yuki?" The older version of her asked as she began to float around, the once aggrieved look on her face disappeared as it was not replaced with a demonic look.

Yuki only looked at the person in front of her with a cold look before calming herself by thinking that all of this was just an illusion created by her Demon Heart, but as she closed her mind and eyes, she began to hear the cries of all of them begging for her to help them. This made her so distracted that her heart began to cry again in pain as this was the last thing she wanted to hear and see, so she dared not open her eyes for the first time in her life.

Seeing this, the older version of Yuki smiled wickedly as she knew that Yuki was now drowning in sorrow. The longer it goes the more likely for her to get swallowed by Demon Heart which will cause her own Death. But just as the 10-minute mark was about to be reached and when Yuki would finally die because she couldn't handle the grief, she saw her open her eyes with a look that she was all familiar with.

"Phew… you almost had me there. Right, Father?" Yuki smiled which made the person in front of her shiver in fear.

"You know… I now really understand why you are showing me this because this is what I fear the most, for me to watch everyone die. But I realized something… how will you be able to kill those precious to me when I kill you first, or whoever tries to kill them? I'm weak and I know that, but I'll get stronger and be the strongest so that no one will ever try to defy me." Yuki said softly while she walked over to the person in front of her who already transformed to his original appearance.

"No one, no one has the authority to defy me… because I am Ayase Yuki. The person who will destroy this bullshit world to rebuild all of it again." Yuki muttered while she plunged her hand into Andrew's heart killing her Demon Heart.
