Comment by Introvert on Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess - Chapter 208

The sword in the dragon's mouth breaks. The dragon shook his foot knowing it missed her and Eclise's body flew through the air. She shouts for him and tries to grab him hem but Callisto pulls her back into a hug. The dragon tramples were she just stood. When it lifts it's foot again, Eclise's body is gone.

Callisto takes her face in his hands and tells her to look at him and don't lose her mind. She tells him she's scared. She's failing and she's scared he's going to die in vain. Callisto tells her he's scared too. She asks whether he should be encouraging courage right now. He knew there was something was buried underneath the palace but why wouldn't he be scared. He was serious. His eyes looked like a man who was fed up with this. She tells him she doesn't know if she can beat Yvonne. Even if she wins, there is no guarantee the dragon would die either. She wonders what will happen if she breaks the mirror and kills Yvonne but the dragon doesn't die. Vinter didn't tell them this. Callisto pinches both her cheeks as punishment and tells her to focus on why she's doing this and not useful thoughts. She wonders why she is doing this and remembers. To return to her world and finish school and fulfill he dream of being an archaeologist. And before going back, to make a safe world for Callisto who wanted to be the perfect emperor. He tells her it's okay if she failed, he'll take care of it. It was time for him to answer confidently without any basis. The dragon comes closer casting dark shadows over the spire. He tells her to listen. When she breaks the mirror she said she would die but he's thinks it's one of the two. They need to remove the mirror and remove the canine from the dragon's chest. She tries to tell him it's too dangerous but he tells her that she needs to get rid of the Leyla but there aren't many potions left and she can't deal with the dragon forever. He'll get rid of the dragon.

She knows he's right but she can't get rid over the afterimage of Eclise bleeding. He laughs and tell her he still has this and points to the earring she had given him. Her heart surprisingly calmed down. She tells him she's going and he tells her to take care of herself. Callisto left first and as she turns to look she sees him hanging from the dragon's claw avoiding fireballs. Penelope climbs the endless stairs of the spire. She climbed and climbed and from outside a window she could see Callisto swinging dangerously on the dragon as it tries to shake him the man riding on back. She tried to stare only at the stairs as she climbed. A claw and tail had hit the wall of the spire earlier breaking the outer wall as she climbed. The ending is in sight as she enters the room of the guard post. Yvonne is sat at the window looking outwards with an awkward. She turns as she sees Penelope enter. Penelope asks if she's done playing hide and seek. Yvonne tells her if she's talking about rat race, then it's still ongoing. Yvonne smiled and jumps down from the window. She tells Penelope that she's made it here without dying. She thought she'd run away like before. Penelope asked why she killed Eclise. Yvonne looked surprised and laughed. She tells her it was Penelope who killed him not her. Because of her he died in the dragon's claw. Yvonne wipes away a tear. Penelope tells her she was the one who was controlling the dragon, so why didn't she stop. Yvonne asked her why she didn't love him and made him jump into its limbs like a moth.
