The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 186 - - Sucking Reveal
!!!
Alarm bells rang off all over me as I instinctively turn my head to see Ilon coming straight for me.

His body had been cut in several areas and he had already lost his left hand. Still even with such grave injuries, his eyes were completely white as if he had lost reason.
But the most dangerous thing about him was the lightning armor on his body. It wasn't like what he showed before, now the armor seemed even denser and he also had a long ass sword, the same size as mine in his hand. Though it was much slimmer than the one I use.
Before I could fully turn, he was already within range to attack and he did. He used his long ass sword and tried to cut me in half.
Now I wasn't ready to dodge nor defend against such an attack. The guy had deliberately caught me off guard at the worst time possible. I figured that if his attack which probably is enhanced by his madness to kill me, hits… I won't die… but I won't be in a survival condition either.
The only option I had was to use my black hole ability to eat this guy. But as I prepared the ball of never-ending hunger, the only hope I had was that my ball would kill him faster than his would strike.
"WOOSH!"
Suddenly, Ilon's body blurred in front of me with a red blue before it vanished from that spot.
'HAH! What the hell happened! Where did he go?'
I look in front of me, but don't see him there. Then I get another thought as I look behind me, thinking that he would attack me at my blind spot to insure that I really die… but again, he wasn't there either.
"Crunch!" "Crunch!"
"Hmm?"
"Suck!" "Shush!"
Suddenly a sound vaguely familiar to bones breaking and water sucking appeared.
'That sound… it's coming from my right.'
'Should I see it or… just run?'
In every scary movies and story, wherever something creepy or scary happens in a area you heard the sound of bones crunching and someone eating… it never is a good idea to investigate it.
Unfortunately, I was never a fan of scary movies so nobody told me that tiny detail as I turned to see what it was. And boyo… was I surprised.
Standing a few steps away from me, was a woman's back with dark clothes that was extremely familiar to me. Her backside was one thing that I can never forget as it was the back of someone I always looked in secrecy.
Now that person was standing with her back shown and was taking a bite out of Ilon's neck. I saw her munching on his meat and sucking off his blood like it was one of her favorite desert.
It didn't matter that Ilon who was maddeningly strong and still had his enhanced lightning armor on tried to get out of her grasp, his struggles were all for naught as she held him with immovable strength on her grip and took him for all he was worth.
When she was done dining on her food, she suddenly went quiet and stood there for a long while. As if finally booting up, she used her hands to wipe away the blood and meat on her face as it mashed all over her clothe and hands.
With that done, she slowly turned around, revealing it was none other than Veronica.
Standing there as the blood of Ilon's struck to her lips and dark clothes in goth like fashion.
…
'I already knew it…'
'He too, would be like the others.'
'He seemed he was different… no, I hoped that he was. And yet, my heart is about to be broken another time.'
'Maybe I should have toned down on the eating or at least cleaned myself up more so that we could at least have a conversation.'
'Hah… Not like it's going to matter anyway. He's going to say those same words and behave just like them.'
As Abigail talked to herself while watching Henry with absolute silence, he finally moved.
Henry took slow steps towards Veronica as she waited for the inevitable to happen again.
'Well, he's coming.'
Three more steps…
'It'll hurt for some time but I have to remember this was just a momentary break.'
Two more steps…
'I'll blame myself for killing him but I'll later understand that it indeed was necessary.'
One more step…
'I… I just hope he understands at least one bit.'
Now Henry stood right before her, his eyes remained calm and unwavering above hers.
"Henry-"
Before she could say her side, she felt his thumb lightly rubbing the corner of her lips and put it right before her mouth. Subconsciously, she reached out and licked his finger, tasting the lingering blood that was on her lips.
Abigail stood there for a moment longer, thinking about what this could mean.
Never in her long lifespan has such a moment passed for her. Every single being that has seen her true state blamed her or gauzed her through strength.
But he didn't… He still hasn't said anything yet.
Somehow that made her get the courage she needed to say something, "Henry, about what I am-"
"Can you give me a ride home? My rider lost his head so…" He spoke as if nothing completely life changing had happened and he was asking a small favor.
Abigail didn't know how but, she suddenly had a smile bloom on her bloody face as she said, "Always saying strange things to flirt with me… at least upgrade your game for a change."
…
After that we take her carriage home.
None of us say a single word to each other and quietly enjoy the ride while looking at the quiet street and full moon on the sky.
When the carriage stopped at the mansion, Abigail immediately took the door and left while saying, "See Me."
"What were you doing so late, Mada-"
"Bathroom now!" Abigail said in a stern order as Olenna went quiet and left with her.
Getting out of the carriage, I too go for the bathroom and wash myself. As the cold water washed my face, I finally let out the aggression out in a long sigh.
As I came outside, I was surprised to see Anna and Alice standing before me, their faces etched with worry.
In the thought of going against the Vagrant Palace and finally seeing Veronica for who she was, I had forgotten that there were people who worried about me.
"Henry, are you okay?"
"Master, where were you out so long?"
They both asked simultaneously. If it were any other time, then they would have already started bickering amongst each other about who was the senior here.
But not this time… this time they understood that something must have happened as they quietly waited for my answer.
I pat both of their heads with a heartfelt smile, "I'm sorry for making you both worry so much. Actually I had an important meeting that I needed to be at."
"Don't worry, I'm fine now. But I have one more thing to do. So can you girls wait for another moment?" I say and take my leave.
"Master, are you going to meet that shrew-"
Anna stopped Alice from speaking as she gazed at Henry's back with a distinct look.
