Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 742 - [Scripted Event: War Against Gods] 24/?: Fated Confrontation! Geraldine And Annabella! 1/2

-----

Annabella Down had been living for more than three hundred years as of now, despite being originally born as a Human, who had an estimated lifespan of 70 to 80 years.

Born in an aristocratic family within the old Athetosea Kingdom, she was only the eighth daughter of a large family, with many of her siblings fighting for the head of the family, earning merit for their father, while also plotting and scheming against their other siblings, it was a chaotic internal battle that commoners would never imagine that those living in luxury would suffer.

Annabella was stepped over many times, however, each time, she learned an important lesson, she slowly bottled up her emotions and weaknesses, becoming cold and calculative, learning from every loss, and becoming more and more wicked and scheming.

She slowly gathered a group of followers, and gathered strength through the practice of forbidden magic, Dark Arts Magic, slowly becoming experienced on its use as she learned from ancient books bought from the connections she held with the Kingdomʼs Underworld Organizations.

With this power, she learned how to curse, how to make her siblings suffer, and how to put all of them in the worst possible scenarios, making them all end up as the ridiculed ones, attaining revenge as she bathed in their tears.

Her father and mother quickly fell ill due to a ʼmysteriousʼ disease, and fearing their deaths, they ultimately made Annabella the head of the Down Family, holding in all the riches and authority of her aristocrat family, she couldnʼt possibly rest with only that.

Using her Dark Arts Magic and scheming even further, she forced her siblings to marry different families, and slowly encroached such families with her powers, as the years went by, her power and authority grew even further, and she even expanded in the Kingdomʼs Underworld, holding power both in the surface of this Kingdom and in the world where criminals governed…

Like this, she lived for many years, becoming a feared witch with enormous influence and authority who no one dared to provoke.

Up until a certain point, where things changed slightly…

Annabella received a certain notification within her mind as she slept, alerting her of what was named as a ʼEpic Skillʼ.

She had been given the title of a Champion, named as the Phantom Dark Witch.

With such prowess, her ego grew even bigger, and her influence even more…

Not long after, she met her companions, and the future Legendary Hero of Sun, Sol.

Amongst them, there was also Geraldine, who would grow to be her greatest rival within the attention for Sol, the Hero she had fallen in love with due to his fascinating spirit and heroic prowess.

There was something that awakened within her when she saw Sol do heroic things, something so deep within her macabre soul that she could barely hold herself back.

She wanted him.

She wanted him more than anything.

She wanted him to be hers, to be hers and from no one else!

However, the Maiden of Tundra, Geraldine, was there, as an obstacle…

She might have intimidated the other women within the party, but Geraldine was strong-willed and did not want to let go of Solʼs love, which was mutual with hers.

In such terrible jealously, Annabella ultimately schemed a terrible crime, where Geraldineʼs life was taken in a battle against a powerful Boss, even though it was not supposed to go like this… she had carefully manipulated the battle for this scenario to unfold.

As Sol cried in sorrow and regret while Annabella comforted him, she smiled devilishly, as her scheme had gone even more perfectly than she had ever imagined.

However, even then, the hate against Geraldine remained, as Annabella used her Dark Arts Magic and Phantom Magic to seal Geraldineʼs soul within the dungeon, leaving her as an eternal prisoner within the walls of such a world…

Afterward, Annabella planned the death of every single member of Solʼs party, until the only woman he could see, and love was she… and only she.

Finally having Sol for herself, she lived ʼhappilyʼ while improving and manipulating her body through her magic and alchemy, attaining new powers, and even forcing a change in her race.

Not long after, several aristocratic families within Athetosea plotted against her, accusing her of being a Demon, and even putting her servants and family against her…
