Yandere Villainess Will Die!

Savior seemed shocked at his...questionable choice of words, not that Leonidas cared much.

He was about to allow the pain to assault him all at once, a searing cacophony of pain he could already feel. Savior shook out of her stupor and sat beside Leonidas. Her legs crossed over each other, form writhing as she shrank in size, resembling a normal human.

She really does resemble Willow a lot...It’s uncanny.

From her flowing hair, her raven eyes, even the way she fought and her attitude, everything was nearly identical.

At one point, he had thought that Savior had somehow been made to model Willow, but that wouldn’t make sense, nor would it be probable.

It was a vexing question, one that forced Leonidas to keep his mind off the incoming pain. Savior grabbed one of the phantasmal fruit and handed it to Leonidas.

"I guess it’s fitting, being the one to walk the first step towards recovery." Leonidas chuckled, though his eyes had darkened significantly.

He grabbed the fruit with the only functioning part of his body...his left arm. It was hard to the touch, the surface rough and uneven under his fingers.

He gave the fruit a tentative look, hesitating right when the moment was upon him...not that it lasted long. Leonidas put the fruit on his tongue and bit into it.

Fortress, I’m a fortress, I’m a—

"Aghhh!"

A scream tore through his lips, a wild, feral noise that hurt just to listen to. Leonidas’s eyes went wide, tears straining the rims, threatening to fall, held together only by his will.

The rush of healing energy that the fruit contained rushed through his veins, straight to form a layer of skin over the stumps that were once his legs.

Ca-cant...

He couldn’t let it do that, because the moment he did, Leonidas would have truly lost. Leonidas grit his teeth, struggling under the pain, a harrowing thing that felt like a smothering presence covering his entire body.

Leonidas focused inwards, on the flow of Insenium that was rushing through his veins after he had first accepted it back in his fight against Fog.

He could not perceive how his blood moved, nor could he control the energy coursing through his body like electricity.

But what he could do was make a tangible barrier of invisible Insenium to force the healing force to stop just before they reached his stumps.

Under the harrowing presence of pain, Leonidas forced his eyes to gaze upon the luminous particles of invisible Insenium hovering in the air. They were numerous, numbering in the millions, barely visible even for his enlightened eyes and mind.

What Leonidas was looking for wasn’t in the air; it was inside him!

Leonidas stared at his torn form, more specifically at the faint golden lines running under his pallid skin, barely visible.

Most were near his heart, twirling and intertwining, then branching outwards, into the rest of his body. A single eye of his entered the imaginative world, while he nodded at Savior.

The kind statue was visibly distressed at his situation, yet she did nothing, opting to trust in Leonidas instead, for which he was grateful.

Her firm hands wrapped around his jaw, which she forcefully opened, and shoved a fruit in his mouth. Her hands left his face soon after, his teeth clattering together with vicious force.

The rush of energy brought a temporary sense of peace to his mind and body, which Leonidas used to form an invisible hand that moved most of his Insenium just above his hip bone, forming a barricade that didn’t exist.

The two energies collided inside him, igniting a bloody cough, scarlet liquid spilling through his teeth.

Ahh, but it was done. He had succeeded; now all that was left was eating a massive amount of the phantasmal fruits.

Between the energies fighting for dominance in his body and the external pain of having a bleeding bottom, Leonidas was living the life.

Hahaha, I’m a fortress.

In a matter of minutes, all the fruits Savior had gathered were gone, vanished into healing energy, pooling into Leonidas’s stomach.

As soon as I remove my hold on the Insenium barrier...my legs should, theoretically, grow back.

His theory was based on a simple fact. Pressure. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

A simple way to describe the connection between the energy and how it healed them would be a blocked pipe and water pressure.

Trickling a few drops of water each second won’t break the barricade, no matter how long the drops trickled for, but a sudden burst of overwhelming water would blast away the obstruction, shattering it into pieces.

The water being the energy, and the blockade being his injury.

"Let’s...see if our hard work paid off...Savior."

His voice was strained, each syllable barely leaving his throat. Despite the fact, Leonidas smiled. His lips widened, curling upwards.

He let the barrier dissolve, and like a dam bursting open, a rush of energy shot towards the ragged stumps. The first wave of energy tried to form a layer of skin over the open wound, but before they could even finish halfway, the rest of the energy slammed into them.

The newly formed skin burst open like wet paper, blood splattering on the onyx floor. The energy collided with one another, pushing forward with faster speeds.

A bone formed first, white as bleached stone. It was smooth, light reflecting off it like rays of a newborn star. Muscles formed over it, livid and pulsing with blood, followed by multiple other things Leonidas had no name for.

The energy moved forward without rest, forming his feet in the same way, before finally, a layer of pale white skin covered everything.

Ahh...I did it.

His emotions were weirdly subdued, but the happiness Leonidas was feeling was beyond words. It was beyond emotions, beyond thought.

It was such a profound emotion...the emotion of gaining something you had thought was gone.

It took him a few seconds to name it...hope.

Leonidas was feeling hope. Maybe things would finally go his way.

But first...a nap.

The world darkened, and Leonidas passed out. Utterly exhausted...but he had won.
