 It was the first time Grandpa Will had ever said anything harsh to me.

 Grandpa Will said in a low, heavy voice.

"You told me you wanted to be the baddest woman in the world. Was that a lie?"

"No. ....... I want to be."

 I replied emphatically.

"Then you mustn't stumble here. What kind of a bad girl are you trying to be?

"I want to be a strong bad girl with high aspirations, who hates pretentiousness, who is reasonable, who does not show too many facial expressions, who is thoughtful, and who can make calm decisions at any time."

 I finished, stammering.

 I said it to myself, and I understood it again.

 Yes, I will be a strong bad girl.

 I'm going to be as bad as the heroine.

 I'll do it. I'm going to be the baddest b*tc* in the world.

 I can't call myself a bad girl if I can't save one person.

 Think, Alicia. How you're gonna use your stupid magic.

 I know you have sores on your skin ......, but will it ever go back to normal?

 We'll just have to try. We don't have time to dillydally.

 I snapped my fingers. The magic that makes skin beautiful.

 An aura that gently envelops a woman.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 It really does make you beautiful. I didn't know it could heal burns. It can do more than heal acne.

 Why didn't I think of this sooner?

 Your face is getting better and better ......, you're younger than I thought.

 Maybe a little older than me. And you have a beautiful face. Well, there are no ugly people in the game.

 I don't know what to do about the necrotic part.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 You can't regrow the skin on these legs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 It's already rotten. If it was dying, it could still be healed, but if it's dead, it's impossible to regenerate it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 The only way is to amputate it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Surgery for necrosis involves amputation well above the necrotic area.

 So we should amputate her thigh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I guess I'll have to amputate it with my sword.

 Without anesthesia, she might die of shock from the pain.

 Dark magic is healing and destructive magic, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Destruction......,magic that destroys skin tissue.

 There must be a better magic than that.

 Alicia, move your head and think.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 ......, a spell that can make pain go away for ten seconds. You can't amputate a man's leg in ten seconds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Even if you could, the pain would kick in once the spell was broken.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 But it's an injury and pain is a part of it.

 Now the question is how to stop the bleeding,...... the magic that connects the cells, can it be done with blood vessels? I don't know. I've never tried it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 But it's the only way.

 I pulled out my sword and cleaned it with water.

 And let's clean my cloak too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I enchanted the cloak to make it clean.

 Yes! Now I'm ready.

"What are you doing?"

 I ignored Jill's question and put one fist in her dove tail, knocking her out.

 It was better not to see my own leg being amputated.

 I gripped my sword and took a slow breath.

 I only had ten seconds to win.

 I must not fail. One shot is all it takes.

 I put all my strength into my hands.

 It's okay, I'm fine. I took a deep breath, snapped my fingers, and immediately I swung my sword with a great swing and brought it down with a mighty swing.

 With a thud, her right leg fell to the ground.

 There was a lot of blood. I snapped my fingers again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 The blood flowed less and less.

"Aaahhhh!

 She woke up before all the magic was done.

 Ten seconds had passed. We can't let her get out of control now.

"Jill! Hold her back."

 I said, and Jill immediately put pressure on her shoulder.

 You're dropping your leg, so it's normal for it to hurt.

 I made sure the bleeding was stopped, then tore the cloak to a good size and wrapped it around my leg.
