*In Moments before Fubuki Misaki's transformation.*
"( What is this, sensation? )"
"( My limbs and muscles are bubbling. )"
"( My blood too, pumps abnormally. )"
"( Uh... )" I hear Makino's voice, my first daughter.
I heard her screams, just like me, the White Demon forced the fruit into her mouth, turning her into what I originally intended for the Clan Leaders after I hunted the Demon.
" Cur...ses... " I said it, yeah, I said it!
I said it as my mind started to fade and my flesh started to rebel against my will thanks to my own medicine.
"( So the 'White Demon' is 'Ragna', huh? )"
"( Andrew's nephew? )" I think as I remembered that bastard Andrew K., always mentioning his name before me despite him trying to make himself anonymous as he works for the Demonic Sect with me.
Yeah, Andrew...
That Andrew who is always beyond me, even dares to get the favor from my own Patron God.
That commoner, that bastard who didn't know his place!
I had no regrets when betraying him, he deserves it, he deserves to die!
If it was not because of him, Lord Loki will gradually bless me with more Divine Blessings, but instead, he even dared to bless that 'Bounty Hunter', even after I made that bastard became the Lord's greatest enemy.
Curses! Curse it all!
" Grhh... " I tried to stand up, trying to use whichever body parts that I could still control during this 'mutation' of mine before the 'worms' took over.
But then...
" Trying to crawl? " said a voice, the little bastard's voice as I see him with his white silver skin face and hair, alongside his sharp crimson red eyes staring at me.
" *Grins* kukuku... "
" So the 'Hollow Witch' is not that 'Hollow' after all, kekeke? "
" What do you mean, brat!? "
" Are you gonna mock me too, just like your uncle? " I asked the brat.
" Oh! uncle used to mock you too!? " he asked, suddenly he shows his happy face which ticked me off to the core.
" Kekeke *chuckles*, no wonder, that must be the greatest thing my uncle would've done in his life! " the brat mocks me, he grins so wide while his eyes looked me with happiness, reminds me of his damned uncle who often laughs at me, mocking me, even dare to harass my Blue Blood Status.
" Oh my, the Blue Blood Clan White Witch is nothing without her Gift Core, eh! "
" Guess it is true that the Blue Blood Clans are getting weaker through time, look at you, you couldn't even produce males anymore, no wonder! kekeke! "
" A woman should've stayed home, give up your Clan's leadership as well as your daughters to my nephew, s*k my d*k instead you hot-headed weak mischievous b*ch! "
Yeah, that's how he used to mock me, he even harassed my gender too alongside my bloodline with his misogyny.
And now...
Now..., I said it, while looking at the bastard's nephew in front of my face.
He laughs so happily while I try to kill him but the mutation corrupts my control over my body, not to mention, somehow, with my body's mutation rampage, the mutated body parts that gone havoc still scared to touch him, for some reason.
" What's going on, Witch? "
" You scared? "
" Curses! "
" What did you do? why won't my hands reach you!? "
" Isn't it obvious, Witch? "
" The Demon you mutated into is simply a weaker being than me. "
" Wasn't it so hard, try to feel my presence a bit, would ya? " he says and I tried to sense him, as I did it, I lost my mind, immediately.
" Karkh! " I stuttered, fear injects itself into me so fast, as I witness the horror of the brat's very presence which is preposterous.
"( A higher... being...? )"
"( The brat's presence is, stronger than...me? )"
"( But, but but but but but...! )"
"( I'm a Tier 5, no ordinary person outside the Blue Blood Clan families could ever achieve this...! )"
"( No person, no human, no monster, no... )" I see it in horror, I realized something, which finally clicks into my mind 'till the last point.
Which is...
The reason this bastard, this 'Ragna Kent', this 'nephew' of Andrew K.,...
Is called the 'God of Abyss Tower' and the 'White Demon' in the first place.
His very presence, I sensed it very well...
Is similar...
To that of the gods, Lord Loki, the gods' I've met while having a meeting with many important people in the past.
Very similar, as if this brat somehow belongs to the Divine Realm in the first place.
" Wha... "
" What are you? " I asked him, while crying in fear, something I've never done before in my life.
For in my life, I was nothing more than a ruthless woman who cared less for others, hence why they called me the 'Hollow Witch'.
My only purpose in life is my goals and ambition.
I need no feelings or emotions toward others, they're all tools to increase my life's satisfaction, everyone.
Including my own daughters, I had no feelings for them for I only see them if they're all useful, unlike their fathers.
All of my achievements until now, are came from my cruel deceit and betrayal, I eliminate and trick everyone to my bidding as long as I see fit, just like the Lord himself who Patrons my family.
That was all in the past...
Now...
My emotionless cold nature had been shattered, in an instant.
By this very moment.
I lay powerless, beat into a pulp without any chance of fighting back.
My efforts are all for nothing, the ice mountain of life experience I've been through is destroyed by a brat in front of me.
A brat whose uncle I betrayed and killed with the gods' very hands, now avenging me for the uncle's death, though how he knew, I still couldn't wonder, but he already said his reasons which made me realized he was avenging him, avenging that 'Bounty Hunter'.
" Andrew K... " I said as I suddenly lose the brat's face as my sight changed, making me have to see his uncle's face instead, grinning so horrifyingly over me with such a demonic face.
*Vision Andrew K. grins and chuckles with his horrifying face in Misaki's eyes.*
" Andrew, you piece of shit! "
" You mock me even in the afterlife, you bastard! "
" If it weren't for you! Everything will be done as I worked up for, all of my efforts! " I screamed in rage and cries, I shouted all of my emotions as I lose myself up for my defiance.
" Oh wow, that's some hatred there... "
" To think you would see my uncle's face during the moment before you lose your mind, how very ironic, is it not? " the brat says as I see his face again after his uncle's face disappears.
" You... "
" Ragna, Andrew's nephew. "
" You think you've won... "
" You think you could do this to me without having consequences, from the other Blue Blood Clan members, the gods!? " I asked the brat, but instead he whistles, ignoring me.
" You done? *yawn* "
" So much drama before the mutation, Witch. "
" Guess you're not that 'Hollow', huh? "
" Must've been emotional as Karma gets you! *grins* "
" Brat... " I say to him as I suddenly heard Makino's screams, she's mutated, but something's wrong, her body instead starts to decay.
" Tsk, tsk, despite being a Tier 5, her body is still weak to some mere demonic thingy, huh? " the brat says as he and I saw her death.
" Guess not all Gifted People could use the Demonic power at will, huh... "
" Even the High-Tiered ones...? "
" Huh, guess one needs a great vessel of a body too in order for the mind to withstand the mutation, huh? "
" Like Adrian Waterson, he's the perfect example, a perfect specimen for this fact. " the brat says as he ridiculed my eldest daughter's death.
As I see it, I felt nothing for her, for the fear of the 'White Demon' still dominates me from even thinking of Makino's failure, to think she would fail even after knowing my business so far with the Demonic Sects than the other daughters.
" Keurkh! "
" Curse it all! "
" It's all your fault, everything I have is torn into pieces! " I shout, I just shout and rampant in front of the brat, I began to just bark everything out like a little dog in front of the alpha predator, just woofing around in order to keep my prejudice while my body loses it.
" Tsk, tsk, not even any regrets nor care for your own family, tsk... "
" I could see it in your eyes, you only make daughters for your own goals only and will throw them away when they're no longer useful, tsk tsk tsk. "
" Thank goodness I've taken away Yukino from you, at least I could at least turn her from becoming you. "
" What a waste, my mercy is wasted since you're my future wife's mother... "
" But instead, what I see is a crazy woman who only rambles her nonsense whatsoever. "
*Ragna slashes Misaki's limbs, making her scream.*
" SKRRREEE!!! "
" Now you have become a Demonic Being for too deep, even if you die you'll become a 'Tainted Spirit', yes? " Ragna says, remembering what a Tainted Spirit is.
" Your tainted soul plus the energy residue from your Gift Core, plus the blood of the demonic monsters left in your body which corrupts your soul will assimilate and emerge as a physical spiritual manifestation once you're dead. "
" I can't say this works for your eldest daughter, but... " Ragna sees Misaki, already mutated, already losing herself to the mutation.
" So sad, you intended to mutate the other Noble Clan Leaders present here after you succeed in making them offer their greatest Clan Members to Hunt me, huh? "
" Guess I did them all a service by killing them early, at least they're still human when they're dead, don't ya think, you treacherous cruel witch? " Ragna sees Misaki growling as her mutation is complete, her body is now monstrous and demonic, and her humanoid features are gone after the mutation.
" Yuck, I'm getting more disgusted, I'm ending this... " Ragna says as he quickly finishes everything by equipping
" Be tortured by your sins until you die, Witch! "
" Even if you became a 'Tainted Spirit' somehow, I'll send your demise again, I'll promise! " Ragna says as the Fubuki Clan Leader dies with that one attack, the attack that destroys half of the very Yacht aside from the place where Ragna stands.
< EXP Obtained >
< Soul Exploited >
" It has done, uncle... " Ragna says after seeing Misaki's demise.
" I know all souls will return to the Universal Reboot Device that is placed beyond the realms, beyond our reach, like what Twelve told me. "
" The Witch may not follow you immediately there, but I will guarantee that I will send her off to your place so you could punch her more in whatever afterlife you're at... "
" Uncle Andrew. " Ragna says, he almost gets emotional but he holds it.
*Ragna almost sobs.*

Author's note:
I still hate you for Aphrodite and Kara's death though...
But this time, I will give you lenience since you had a good reason to do your vengeance.
