when the sun rose, Jeremy got dressed and prepared to leave the residence of Estella who was Isobel. Unfortunately watching him has not yet given him the ability to see his enemy's species. So he didn't want to drive a stake through her heart and she not be a vampire.
He looked down to see Estela-Isobel lying on the bed naked and decided to slip out of the house and into the living room where the door was. he tried to pick up his pace, but something threw him away.
Jeremy collapsed onto the living room couch, making the couch spin with him to the floor. Having felt no pain whatsoever, Jeremy stood up looking around intently for what had knocked him down.
In front of the door, Jeremy's eyes found a completely naked Isobel with only the sheet they used to cover their bodies after they ended their sex session.
"Estella?--what happened?--why was I thrown away?" Jeremy whimpered looking around with obvious fear in his eyes, "Is there a ghost in your house?"
"cut the Jeremy act-my love "Isobel whispered seductively leaning forward and showing the veins around her eyes to scare Jeremy "who turned you?"
"Che-- you look hot even with a monster face" Jeremy mumbled cracking his neck and looking at Isobel angrily with veins showing in her face "Since when have you been using me?"
Isobel stopped for a second, showing a small trace of feeling. but soon formed an arrogant smile
"Hoo, thanks for the compliment--If I tell you my feelings were real, will you believe me?" Isobel asked mockingly
"I would say you're a terrible liar" Jeremy bit his lip showing a little hurt in his eyes but he lifted his head smiling confidently "Do you lie like that to your husband?"
"Ho? are you jealous?" Isobel laughed taking a few steps to the side to approach Jeremy "I don't have anything with him anymore if that's what you want to know"
"I'm happy" Jeremy replied smiling taking steps to the other side away from Isobel "I don't want the eye-piercing fame"
"Don't worry then-- You won't need fame wherever you go." Isobel chuckled leaning forward and throwing one foot back. her eyes widened and her hands opened and closed
Jeremy realized right away that Isobel was going to attack him and so he absorbed the mana from his vampirism to prepare the only spell he knew how to do taking, of course apart from the 3 demonic spells
'Lightning' he spoke in his mind pointing his arm at Isobel
{-10MP}
Lightning formed and shot out of Jeremy's hands towards her.
Isobel's eyes widened as she saw the flash of light coming towards her. She kicked the ground turning into a blur and disappeared from her place, dodging the beam that hit the wall behind her.
The beam went straight through the wall leaving a 50 cm hole in the wall.
Isobel appeared a few feet from the wall, her eyes wide with surprise. She looked at Jeremy in shock and whispered scared "a vampire who can do magic?"
Jeremy saw that Isobel was fast enough to dodge lightning. He decided to go with plan B and yelled "Bily and Lily"
"▂▂▃▃▅▅▅▅ーーー! !" The two bears appeared in black smoke in front of Jeremy and roared angrily at Isobel.
"What are these things?" Isobel shivered as she met the bears' red, hateful gaze. she took a step back warning the bears of her fear of the two unknown monsters
It was at this point that the bears got confident and attacked them. Billy was the first to pass through the room, throwing all the furniture in the air until he reached Isobel.
He threw his claws at her in a double attack. Isobel, who was still shaken, almost got hit by the first blow and grazed her face in the second, leaving a big scratch on her face
The pain in her face woke Isobel just as Billy prepared the second blow. She didn't let herself be acetic again and became a blur disappearing from the bear's front and appearing behind it.
She spun her body into a shape and landed a kick in the rib of the bear that had spikes all over its fur. the bear was thrown against a wall, but Isobel's leg was pierced by several thorns making her moan and wince in pain.
She tried to touch her leg, only it was too late. Why Lily had already reached her and slammed her body against her back driving even more thorns into Isobel's body and throwing her away who gave an agonizing grunt as she hit a wall.
Isobel's entire back was covered and she was bleeding non-stop. it was as if there was something in Lily's thorns that kept Isobel's blood from clotting.
Lily ran to Isobel and slammed her claws continuously into the vampire's back causing her to scream in pain. gradually Isobel's back became visible holes for her organs.
"Enough" Jeremy put a hand to his head regretting his hesitation"Don't hurt her anymore"
Jeremy knelt on the floor. he actually couldn't see Estella getting hurt anymore. even if she was just a false name. someone who was cheating on him. Estella was still Jeremy's first love
Lily stopped and looked at Jeremy with her red eyes filled with confusion and stopped punishing the vampire. she then went to her brother who was lying unconscious on the ground.
Isobel's kick was strong enough to defeat the bear demon. Lily whimpered as she touched Billy and whimpered once more, relieved to see that he was okay.
"They can disappear, I'll take care of it myself," Jeremy told the bears
Lily looked at Jeremy uncertainly but obeyed her master's order, disappearing in black smoke. Billy still passed out did the same
Seeing that he was alone in the house. Jeremy walked over to Isobel and sat down beside her. she had her eyes open bright showing that she was conscious. But, she couldn't move as her spine was broken into many pieces and part of her brain responsible for the speech function was damaged.
She only moved her eyes in Jeremy's direction, showing only a very small feeling of anger and a slight feeling of regret.
Her anger wasn't directed at Jeremy. No, she was angry at herself for not being able to feel her feelings properly for being turned off
Jeremy placed his hand on her face, stroking her face lovingly. he didn't say anything for a minute just waited slowly to see the healing effect of her quickly repairing his broken bones and flesh
Even so, he could not repair the parts that were impaled with thorns.
Jeremy seeing this began to remove the thorns from Isobel's body. she looked at him in complete disbelief. After everything she's done to him, is Jeremy still going to help her? a single tear fell from her eyes.
A single trace of feeling appeared in her eyes before they faded once more in her unfeeling mind.
When he removed all the thorns from vital parts of Isobel's body and her body regenerated again. he lifted her and placed her head in his lap.
He stroked her head once more letting tears fall her face. Jeremy began to sob and fear
"Y-you know Estella-- I loved you, I loved you-- I was ready to give up everything to be with you" Jeremy cried sobbing and shivering with tears falling down Isobel's face, "you did this to me-- used me to some malicious plan of yours-- which I have no interest in knowing"
Isobel wanted to say something as once again the feeling appeared in her eyes after being completely crushed again by her off mind
"That's enough--it's over" Jeremy wiped the tears from her eyes and slowly stopped shivering "I'll keep the memories good about you-- so please don't ever appear in front of me again"
The feeling once again appeared in Isobel's eyes. It was a feeling of sadness and despair, but it was soon crushed once more by her detached mind.
Jeremy closed his eyes and a black mist formed around him. Estella Petrova, as of today, you are prohibited from trying to touch anyone in my family
The black fog got stronger
{Covenant to force was attempted, a violation of the ability of the demonic arts}
{Disabling pain state punishment for one hour a day until contract is terminated}
{Do you want to continue the contract?}
"Yes, I'm not capable of killing her, I still love her inside my heart" Jeremy shook his head "if everlasting pain is the price to keep you away from my family--make the contract"
{contract made}
The black mist that hung over Jeremy flew to Isobel who felt a strong revulsion at being close to Jeremy as if her own body was getting sick just from being close to him.
At the same time, Jeremy fell to the ground screaming in pain. his eyes shadowed. His ears bled and his eyesight went pure red
{+1 durability}
{+1 durability}
The pain continued for an hour and within an hour he increased his durability 1 time every 10 minutes just by feeling the pain. it was the most beneficial punishment that ever existed.
He didn't lose HP or MP in pain and managed to level up his durability. But the person who was worse off was Isobel who had her mind in chaos.
Every second she saw Jeremy suffer, the feelings returned and were crushed by her detached mind. This happened constantly.
Tears fell from her eyes. on the one hand she didn't want Jeremy to suffer on the other she was forced by her off mind not to care about anything
an hour passed and Jeremy was back to normal with a cold look, he didn't hang up, but the pain gave him a little stronger conviction, not to the point of killing Isobel. but, enough not to care about her in the short term, he caught a mouse, killed it and threw the blood in her mouth.
making the woman squirm at the disgusting taste of Rat's blood. However, it was enough to heal some of his PMs as Jeremy saw.
{Mother and Wife of the Year - Isobel Flemming - Level: 115}
{HP: 1150} {MP 400/1150}
"Disappear when you heal" Jeremy said coldly, leaving the house and leaving Isobel alone.
"I have to end this pact - for Katherine and Jeremy" Isobel told herself with determination. Some of her humanity came back that day.
Too bad she wouldn't have the chance to have Jeremy's love ever again
