Chapter 104 – 104. Awakening
“Master—! Uh uh uh…… ?”
John flew into his boat and looked at something plugged in. It was a cookie The source of the smell that has been present since entering the city. A cookie the size of a human arm flew in and stuck in my stomach.
Although it was obvious that it was made magically at a glance, just like it couldn’t nullify Hecaterina’s magic, John’s nullification couldn’t be done without anything.
Even if the magic was removed, the wounds inflicted by the magic could not be eliminated.
‘No, fuck…….’
John’s gaze turns to Evangeline. Her face was stained with astonishment. I mean, it was she who prevented this attack from her, so it was easy to predict that she would suffer from her severe guilt.
If she, who was still emotionally unstable because she couldn’t see herself, realized that she had pierced her pupil’s belly with her own hands – her Evangeline might really go crazy.
‘No, that’s all…….’
No one can stop the mad master. She will be the embodiment of irreversible destruction, and the earth will be a sea of fire and ruins.
It should be blocked. As Johann fell, he looked at Beatrice who was beside him. He wanted her to stop Evangeline.
However, Beatrice’s face was also stained with surprise and astonishment.
‘Ah, this one won’t work either.’
Thinking so, John closed his eyes, praying that he would not wake up on the ruined planet.

“Yo, John?”
Evangeline began to tremble when she saw John, who had been hit by a ricochet while walking from afar. Now she didn’t quite get into her head what she had done.
The witch in front of her launched an attack on me, and she didn’t want to use unnecessary strength, so she blocked the attack by bouncing it far away, and the witch’s magic bounced off to John…….
“Oh, isn’t it? John? Now, don’t play around and get up quickly…….”
Evangeline slowly turned to John, clutching her wobbly legs. The witch, Azmona, who had been watching her, immediately stood in front of Evangeline.
“Wait, where are you going? He’s fighting me right now—”
“Move.”
“Kyaaah-!?”
Azmona, who stood in front of her, was thrown towards the building in the distance, feeling an unknown force dragging her.
He instantly transformed the building into a very weak cookie, and survived without being seriously injured——but ignoring himself like this didn’t feel too good.
“You’ve hurt countless people, and then you make a fuss about only one human being hurt?”
Thinking so, Azmona stood on top of the wreckage of the collapsed building, Cookie. Looking up on the building, she had a better idea of who Evangeline was heading towards.
An ordinary looking man. He had his stomach pierced by a cookie he had blown. To be precise, it was her Evangeline that ricocheted her cookie, so she didn’t shoot it…….
“If I had been kind enough, none of this would have happened.”
Azmona’s eyes go far away. The police must have been controlling people from coming around here, but onlookers were creeping up one by one.
They also had cameras in their hands. She frowned and glared at the onlookers.
“What are the police doing?”
Azmona glanced at Evangeline and realized that this was an opportunity. A chance she’s caught off guard.
As a skilled witch, she did not miss the opportunity. It made dozens or hundreds of human cookies as sacrifices for onlookers who approached from afar.
“I’m sorry, but you guys who came here are also at fault.”
That witch is an existence that will destroy the empire if left alone. For an empire that might become the home of tens of millions, and in the future, billions of people, it was possible to turn a blind eye to dozens or hundreds of casualties.
The cookie people she created targeted Evangeline and the people around her.
Her strongest secret technique is to turn everything she touches into identical cookies. However, the Cookie Man never reached Evangeline and them.
“…… What?”
All cookie humans in this area stop moving. Azmona felt strange and tried to leave.
However, her body didn’t even move before she knew it. Azmona’s eyes turned to the red-haired girl as only her eyes rolled around without losing control.
Tens of thousands of threads were spewing out of the girl’s body.

When Yohan fell through a hole in his stomach——the despair felt by Evangeline, who was responsible for the situation, as well as Beatrice who was standing next to her, was something that could not be explained.
It would be better if it was kidnapped by an unknown monster the other day. Even though I was covered in blood at the time, I wasn’t seriously hurt.
It’s different now.
“Yo, John-John…… ?”
Blood flows. Tuk-tuk, the cookie that pierced Yohan’s stomach continued to absorb blood. The blood that couldn’t be absorbed was spilling on the floor as if it were being vomited.
Looking at John’s face, which turns pale in an instant, the first word that comes to mind is death. Feel death
To her, John’s presence was more than just a friend. More than just the family that gave birth to her. The only person in the world who understands her.
“Wake up. Yes…? I’m not going to complain about side dishes anymore… Heck, I won’t be bothered to ask for a hug….”
The string that connects her to the world is severed.
Evangeline arrived late, but she was not seen.
At this moment, a barrier was being erected in Beatrice’s head to cut off the world from herself.
At this moment when the only person who came to understand her, breaking through her curse of being able to communicate only with dolls, collapsed, everything in this world became like a doll to Beatrice.
‘Ah, that’s right—.’
Despair at its peak dragged her to the bottom of the world. There, Beatrice realized one thing.
Except for me and John, everyone is nothing but puppets—.
There’s no reason I can’t deal with it.
Shortly thereafter, a thin thread made of magical power spurted out from the doll’s witch’s body. The thread went out to Evangeline, to Linnaeus, to the unknown witch, and to countless other people.
Awakening.
Emotions that have reached their limits lead witches to a higher level.
Beatrice awakened. Her red eyes burn brightly.
“Geuh, kkeuuuuu-!”
In the distance, the witch who had injured John groaned, trying to free herself from her bondage. But to no avail.
That witch is a doll, and dolls cannot escape her clutches her.
Whiik── The moment she lightly waved her hand her, Azmona’s body her began to bend at random, like a ballerina doll.
“Quaaaaa”
Ppu deuk, pud deuk- Ppu de deuk-!
The joints of her whole body were broken into multi-joints, and Azmona, who had turned into a mollusk in an instant, passed out in pain as it was.
Beatrice threw the stunned Azmona somewhere and looked at the people who had turned into cookies.
The candy people who have been turned into sweets by Azmona’s magic her. No, dolls.
Cover the dolls with her magical power. Then, in the reverse order of the senses that made the dolls into creatures, the cookie dolls are returned to humans.
“What, what!? Just now!”
“What is this…… I was dead…….”
As the people’s magic was released and the cookie people returned to their original state one by one, Beatrice lost focus and collapsed.
Catching her as she fell, Rinne trembled and looked back and forth between Beatrice, Evangeline, and the fallen John.
“…… You.”
“Yes, yes, yes… !”
“Come on, fix this. Can you fix it? You regenerated your nose well last time.”
“I’ll try, I’ll try……”
Hearing Evangeline’s command, Linne immediately ran and looked at John’s boat. There was a giant cookie that was difficult to pull out, but Evangeline pulled it out in an instant.
Kukika came out of John’s stomach, and Rinne’s magic poured into the empty space. Organs first, then blood…….
The most important things humans need to maintain life are created with Linne’s magic, and John’s complexion gradually begins to return.
“John……!”
Seeing this, Evangeline let out a sigh of relief as if she was relieved. Why the two came with John was also left unanswered.
Because it wasn’t that important right now.
Secretly, Evangeline noticed the Imperial citizens looking up at them, and the camera taking pictures of this scene.
‘Hiding this would be a headache.’
Evangeline, who wished the emperor to rest in peace, took Johann, Beatrice, and Rinne and flew up into the sky.
Their flight was featured on the front page of the Imperial newspaper that day.
