Novel Bin Chapter 295 Fear (14)
Chapter 295 Fear (14)
Jeannette used her magic in a large area to make the debris get closer and move them as a single object. The people around opened their eyes in disbelief thanks to that. That wasn\'t the power that a single human was supposed to have… Even Jeannette was surprised with what she could do when she tried really hard… Still, while it seemed, she didn\'t consider it even for a moment that burying someone with a castle was an overkill.
In the end, Jeannette saw Billy trying to move his arms and do something to prevent his death, but she made sure that he wouldn\'t have that chance and finally buried him alive. Her final attack made the entire city tremble since she basically dropped on the ground a building that was almost one hundred meters long and wide.
Jeanette sighed in relief, but that battle made her realize that she was far from being prepared against the other reincarnated individuals. From her perspective, Billy was a slacker, and he still caused her so much trouble… still, she learned a lot from him.
"I can get stronger, but I suppose I can\'t hide in the back lines anymore," Jeannette said. "I guess I will try some dungeons, and…. ugh."
Suddenly, Jeannette felt a sharp pain in her legs, and then she felt something on her arms and then chest. It didn\'t take long for her to lose control of her body and fall to her knees. The places she got hit… They were bleeding a lot. Suddenly, the ground in front of her began to move, and Billy appeared while crawling. It was shocking that he could move when his legs were in that state. Still, Jeanette saw that his hands were fine, and he had a crossbow in one of them. He had pierced her heart with it.
"No… I just…" Jeannette said and then pointed her right hand toward Billy while she was falling on her back.
Billy wondered what he should do… Jeannette was dying, but she still was pointing her hand toward him as if she was expecting for him to hold her. He had to make a lot of effort to do that, but he approached and then held her hand.
"It is all right…" Billy said. "Don\'t be afraid."
"I just… Wanted to live…" Jeannette said. "I was scared… Of dying… Again…"
The light in Jeanette\'s eyes disappeared, and her body stopped moving. In the end, Billy felt something by killing someone from Earth… Apparently, despite her attitude, Jeannette did what she did because she thought that fighting others like them was unavoidable, and she needed to prepare for it. Out of fear, she did some crazy things, and now she paid the price for all that.

…
Billy got surprised when he saw those notifications. Moreover, the skills also were at the level of his original ones… He had planned to say to Jeannette that they didn\'t have to fight anyone, that they could live their new lives the way they wanted. Still, maybe he was wrong, considering that their powers could be obtained that easily.
Also, Billy wondered what the point of that was… those skills were already too powerful, and for a single person to obtain them all… it certainly would make one stand out in the crowd. While that world had problems, such absolute powers weren\'t necessary, even less so for the reincarnated people like Billy. Their own powers were already enough to guarantee their survival. In any case, Billy needed to do more research and confirm whether there was any point to that or not…
While he was thinking about that, the guards of the capital began to approach, and Billy could tell that they were confused. It seemed that the effects of the Mind Control had ended when Jeannette died, but they didn\'t forget the rumors about Billy.
"Let\'s not do anything hasty, everyone," Gilles said. "We don\'t have to fight anymore, and while he is wounded, you don\'t stand a chance against him. The person who was the ringleader of the recent wars is dead. This is over."
After a while, Svan appeared as well, alongside some barbarians. It seemed that he noticed that his allies also suddenly got confused when the effect of the mind control ended, and he went to give them a hand.
"... Are you going to be fine?" Gilles asked while looking at Billy\'s legs, which were a wreck now.
"I think I will," Billy said and then created an iron coffin for Jeannette\'s body and then buried her as deep as his magic allowed.
Once that was done, Billy asked those two to look for some tools to help out something to help on the healing of his very much fractured legs. Fixing their positions hurt like hell, but it was something that needed to be done. After that, he called all the leaders of that city. The leaders of the refugees, the captains of the soldiers, the heads of the powerful families.
"This is conflict is over. I killed Jeannette, so what are you going to do now?" Billy asked.
"We are going to return to our lands," Svan declared. "We have been away for far too long."
"Most of the people here will welcome Lady Rosalie to become the head of the state," Gilles said. "While she is young, she is smart and liked by our people."
It seemed that Gilles had been moving around trying to convince people to support Rosalie. Still, it seemed more like a punishment to put a child in such a position as the head of a state that lost so much in the last two wars. Fortunately, it seemed that Gilles was willing to give her a hand. The only problem now was the Neles state… The territory of the beast tamers.
