dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had an ordinary face which wasn't anything special along with plain black hair and eyes that stared down at his child self with warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Sypha,\" Azariah whispered quietly as anger flared deep within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind reminding him, how she crushed his entire childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest felt heavy and his breathing uneven as he glared at the woman who quietly walked towards his child self with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did a great job saving them, young master,\" Sypha whispered softly as she helped 'his' pale body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child Azariah calmed at her words, 'his' expression melting as relief washed over his body, relaxing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he registered her words, his childlike expression broke, and he turned, \"S-Shane?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His childlike body crawled toward Shane's body, which had turned incredibly cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one single strike from Taishareth was enough to snatch enough of his life to leave him paralyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Shane?\" Azariah whispered, shaking his body, small droplets of tears trickling down his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hands to use his life source again, but he couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...His body wasn't capable enough to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Az?\" Shane whispered, his breath uneven and his voice filled with pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Shane.\" Azariah whispered, shakily walking closer to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you think you should save the rest first, young master?\" Sypha's voice echoed from behind. \"There are people who are coming after them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And like a mindless being, Azariah followed her words as he stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shane could do nothing but just watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking closer, Azariah slowly dragged Shyamal close to Arianell and Ashlyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out an orb-like thing from his pocket, he placed it between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A semi-circle translucent barrier formed around them, protecting them from anyone below Overlord rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, much to his dismay, it only covered Shyamal and Arianell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Ashlyn?\" Azariah crawled towards her, shaking her weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…You need to save her, young master,\" Sypha's voice echoed once again as she stood behind him. \"…You need to save everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child Azariah blankly nodded as he picked Ashlyn up and ran out of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Sypha slowly walked behind him with a warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Azariah, who was watching the scene unfolding in front of him, felt his reality breaking once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't sad or angry but disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Disappointed in himself for not realizing it sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So it wasn't an illusion.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself, rubbing his temples in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always thought when he saved Ashlyn and the others, it was his own choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even though he remembered hearing Sypha or Aunt Belly's voice at that time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...He always thought it was nothing but an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, Aunt Belly was like a mother…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...And what kind of mother would send her child into months of torture?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-Azariah?\" He turned to look at Shyamal, whose tears kept streaming down, \"W-Why didn't you ever tell me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...He sighed, shaking his head in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes of silence passed as Shane was now just at the brink of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door swung open again as Azariah walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing was ragged, a deep horizontal cut running down his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah remembered how he got that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he tried to bring Ashlyn to safety, some assailants attempted to attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them managed to cut his back, but they couldn't catch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when he returned after entrusting Ashlyn to Oliver so he could bring her to a safe place…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...He found their dead bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It all makes sense now,' he thought as he looked at Sypha walking behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah, who was close to dying, crawled toward Shane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn't you save him, young master?\" Sypha asked, her voice whispering in his ears. \"…You could have saved him, yet you didn't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-what h-have I-I d-done?\" The trembling voice of the boy echoed within the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah's memories reminded him of when Inder first arrived in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the same thing happening again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come out.\" Having had enough of this, Azariah whispered coldly, \"…Naraka.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand glowed in a specific crimson pattern, which turned into a viscous liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The liquid shifted, turning into a large, one-handed axe with two sharp, spear-like points emerging from the base of the crescent blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah raised his hand along with the weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the real world, he couldn't fathom lifting it because of its weight, but here, he could fully control it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naraka sliced through the illusion, dispersing everything into wavy black threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay close to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah whispered as he grabbed onto Shyamal, and the world around them twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, they found themselves in an open field, surrounded by emptiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a blink later, everything turned crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cries of young girls filled the space, and plants resembling sunflowers emerged from the ground, each with a twisted, human-like face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah looked up at the sky—a single crimson moon hung in it, letting its eerie light flood the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Where are we?\" Shyamal asked as she got a hold of herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…In your mind.\" Azariah replied, and the Andarnaur's ring within him resonated with something high above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah's gaze remained fixed on the moon, and sensing the same presence, Shyamal looked up too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight collapsed and converged, changing form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its twisting light seemed to create a body embodying eternal corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of eyes were the first to emerge, coldly focused on Azariah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight stretched, forming limbs and a head, shaping itself into a shadowy female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah's scalp tingled, and a tear of blood trickled down his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike him, Shyamal remained unchanged, looking up at 'her.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A being so massive, she dwarfed everything, making them look like ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Azariah, with his experience of her divinity, knew she wasn't real, merely a projection of her true self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Taishareth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Az.\" Shyamal whispered, making him turn to look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body was slowly turning into particles as they began vanishing from the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll be fine,\" Azariah replied with a light smile. \"Don't worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body vanished as soon as his words ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Why?\" An eternal voice echoed throughout, threatening to break Azariah's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything around them turned silent at Taishareth's cold yet curious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why deny her destiny?\" She asked again, her gemstone-like green eyes boring into Azariah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing his fear, Azariah replied, masking a facade of calmness, \"…Her destiny isn't death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We both know it is.\" She replied, gazing at his hand holding Sabaoth's weapon. \"…Interfering with one's destiny will only bring more misery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't care.\" Azariah growled, gripping the crimson axe tightly. \"I won't let her die—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long are you going to protect her?\" Taishareth's cold voice cut in, \"…How long can she hide?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah bit his lip, unable to rebuke her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he wanted to deny it, he knew she spoke the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You saved her this time.\" Her voice continued, a clear mockery in her tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…But what about the next awakening? You don't think I would make the same mistake again, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" n\u002Fô\u002Fvel\u002Fb\u002F\u002Fjn dot c\u002F\u002Fom\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah quietly looked at her without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood now dripped from his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if by some miracle she survived her every awakening…\" Her voice continued, dripping with mockery. \"That weak-minded girl could never win against me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…You can't kill her—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Her death is inevitable.\" Her voice echoed again as the world began to shatter. \"…All you're doing is delaying it—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is mine.\" Azariah firmly cut her off, glaring at her. \"…And I won't let you kill her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taishareth turned silent, the world around them continuing to fracture into countless smaller pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll see how you will achieve that.\" She finally whispered after a long pause. \"…Anastasia's last hope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world around them broke apart, turning into countless particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah's mind went blank once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah took a deep breath as he found himself back in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His headache made him frown as he massaged his temples to ease the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shyamal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He whispered softly as he shifted his torso to sit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything looked the same as it did before he blanked out, except the black, sinister threads were nowhere to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to his side, where Shyamal was—encased in a transparent cocoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting back on his feet, he quickly approached her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his hands, he tore up the cocoon until he could reach her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shyamal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah whispered as he pulled her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He groaned as he stumbled back, her unconscious body falling over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Placing his head on her chest, Azariah checked her heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Sigh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sigh escaped his mouth as he felt her slow yet steady heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay on the ground, holding her as he looked up at the clear sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his expression hardened as he raised his head a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What are you doing?\" Christina's cold voice echoed as she looked down at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah sighed once again and mumbled tiredly, \"…I need some rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1516,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","1703178ca1eb7d779e51e31a5c4de6e6aac5b5792ddeebda1e0b26f8b112fd5b","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-242","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-240",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
