Tristan didn't want to hurt Zhen-Zhen and their twins. But Mheera was so strong that he couldn't take control of his body.
Afraid that he might make a mistake and harm Zhen-Zhen, Tristan made a decision. At that time, Liam also did something that made Mheera distracted.
He tried to pierce Mheera on her right shoulder, hoping that Mheera's soul would also feel the pain inflicted on her physical body.
The moment Liam plunged the dagger into her flesh, Mheera's soul felt the pain. That's the time, Tristan was able to take control of his own body.
He retook the dagger which he was aiming at Zhen-Zhen. And in one swift move, he pierced his own chest using the divine dagger. He thought this was the only way he could stop himself from hurting Zhen-Zhen.
Tristan and Mheera felt an excruciating pain, spreading throughout their system as the divine dagger got in contact with Tristan's flesh.
Tristan's blood mixed with water. He was losing his energy and felt so weak. Still submerged in water, Tristan glanced at Zhen-Zhen as he was slowly losing his consciousness.
He extended his right arm as if he was trying to reach out to Zhen-Zhen. 'Wifey, I'm sorry.'
He saw Zhen-Zhen's face which was painted with worries and concerns for him. She swam towards him, trying to reach him out.
Tristan's body was sinking, going deeper in the water. His eyelid felt so heavy and his body felt so numb. He could no longer feel anything aside from the excruciating pain in his chest.
Meanwhile, Mheera's soul came out of Tristan's body and was transported back to her original body.
Tristan was no longer under her control but he was in critical condition. He was pierced by a divine dagger which was filled with magical force. His human body could not withstand it.
Zhen-Zhen continued to swim in Tristan's direction. After reaching him, she pulled his hand, trying her best to drag him out of the water. His blood was gushing from his chest.
"Tristan, stay with me…" Zhen-Zhen mumbled. She already brought him to the cottage, lying unconscious.
She tried shaking his body but Tristan was no longer responding. FaMo, Miho, and Zu Wan were dumbfounded seeing Tristan's wounded chest.
Since Zhen-Zhen was distracted, feeling anxious and scared, Zu Wan was finally able to break the barrier she created.
No more barrier was blocking him so he immediately flew towards Zhen-Zhen. Miho and FaMo followed him. They didn't know what happened under the water. They were surprised to see Tristan's wound.
Did she stab him by herself? It didn't make sense. Zhen-Zhen would never hate Tristan. She even built a barrier to stop her father from attacking her husband.
"What happened here?" Zu Wan asked Zhen-Zhen who was stopping Tristan's bleeding by pressing her hand on his chest.
"Fa-Fa, Tris… Tristan… stabbed his own self using the divine dagger," Zhen-Zhen's voice trembled. "Please, help him…"
Zu Wan, FaMo, and Miho were bewildered upon hearing that.
"He wanted to protect us… but he hurt himself…" Zhen-Zhen was crying as she said those words.
Zu Wan immediately kneeled next to Tristan checking his condition. His pulse was weak. This was not good.
"Let me," Zu Wan put his hands over Tristan's wound. He was transferring some of his energy force to him.
"Fa-Fa, will Tristan be okay? Can you heal him?" Zhen-Zhen asked her father desperately, shedding her tears.
Zu Wan looked very serious. He didn't know what to say to calm her. But he didn't want to lie. He knew how to feel to see your loved one being stabbed by the divine dagger. This dagger took the life of his beloved wife, Eva, hundred years ago.
"Zhen-Zhen… I–"
"Fa-Fa," Zhen-Zhen cut him off. She was shaking her head. Soon her expression changed as she clenched her fists tightly.
It seemed that a beast inside her wanted to go on a rampage. Even Miho and FaMo could feel the murderous aura surrounding Zhen-Zhen.
"Someone must pay for this…" After saying that, Zhen-Zhen stood up. "Fa-Fa, please take care of Tristan…"
Even before he could stop her, Zhen-Zhen suddenly disappeared with Miho. They teleported, chasing after Mheera.
Meanwhile, in the cave, a confrontation was happening between Mheera and Liam.
"What have you done this time?" Liam asked Mheera who was now standing in front of him. She was back to her original body, feeling exhausted.
"I did what I have to do!" Mheera said, holding her head up high while pressing her wound on her shoulder. Liam pierced her and she couldn't believe it.
Liam frowned, his face darkening. "What did you do to Tristan and Lillie?" Liam shook her, trying to control his anger.
Mheera just gave him a smug smile, mocking Liam. "I am not obliged to answer that. Just leave me alone."
Pak!
A loud smack was heard as Liam hit Mheera, slapping her on the face.
"How can you do this?! Steeping so low?! This is not a quality of a guardian warrior! You are supposed to protect, not hurt innocent people. What did you do to them?!"
Mheera just let out a dry laugh. Her eyes were bloodshot. Liam just lay a hand on her, hurting her. She was hurt both emotionally and physically.
"Don't worry, I failed. But I guess someone is losing her loved one tonight! Hurting her this way is much more satisfying." A sly smile appeared on her face.
"What do you mean by that? What did you do to Tristan?!"
Liam had just asked her that when someone arrived in the cave. It was Zhen-Zhen who was emanating a murderous and frightening aura.
She immediately grabbed Mheera by the neck, strangling her.
"You must pay for what happened to Tristan! You must die!"
"Lillie!" Liam was caught by surprise. He didn't expect that Zhen-Zhen would follow Mheera there. And by the look of her expression, things seemed to be not good. Something happened to Tristan and Zhen-Zhen was now as furious as hell.
Mheera tried to struggle against Zhen-Zhen but to no avail, she couldn't free herself from Zhen-Zhen's tight grip.
"I will kill you!" Zhen-Zhen's hands that were strangling Mheera suddenly went on fire.
"Aaaah! G-Get… away… from me!" Mheera's hair and her face were caught on fire, burning her skin.
Liam was contemplating what to do. He understood Zhen-Zhen's feelings but he couldn't let her kill someone. She should not taint her hand with Mheera's blood.
At that certain moment, he knew he had to stop her so Liam hugged Zhen-Zhen from behind, wanting to pull her away from Mheera.
"Lillie, stop. Don't kill her. What happened to Tristan? Let's go back to him. He needs you. Maybe I can try to help you. Is he hurt? I can heal him." Liam knew that Zhen-Zhen would listen to him if Tristan's life was on the line. She would choose to save him first.
And he was right! Zhen-Zhen let go of Mheera who was still on fire. Her face got burned because of Zhen-Zhen's power.
"Aaahhh!" She was screaming in pain.
"Liam… can you help me heal Tristan? Please?"
Liam raised his hand, wiping her tears. "Yes, I will help you. No need to do this. Let's go back to him."
With that, Zhen-Zhen was convinced by him to go back to Mt. Calypso. They were about to teleport together but Mheera would not let them leave without getting even at Zhen-Zhen.
Despite the pain, Mheera charged in her direction, holding another dagger. She was aiming to stab Zhen-Zhen at the back. But Liam saw her so he hugged Zhen-Zhen, turning her around as he used his body to block Mheera's attack.
"Argh!" Liam grunted as soon as the tip of the dagger buried into his flesh. He was the one who got stabbed at the back, near his heart.
"Liam, No!" Mheera was shaken after realizing what happened. Liam sacrificed his own self to protect Zhen-Zhen.
"No! This couldn't be…" Mheera released the dagger as she stepped back, still shocked.
"Liam??" Zhen-Zhen got worried after knowing Liam was hurt. The killing intent returned to her eyes. They were now bloody red.
Breaking away from Liam's hug, Zhen-Zhen charged to Mheera who was still in a trance.
"In the name of my demon god father… I curse you to suffer million times of pain for hurting the people close to me!"
After using her demon curse to Mheera, her scream and cry of pain reverberated in the cave.
"Liam is right. You don't need to die. Dying is an easy punishment. You have to suffer million times while you are alive!"
Zhen-Zhen opened a portal using her power and pushed Mheera, sending her away from this world.
"Liammm!!!" Mheera called him out before she disappeared completely.
When Zhen-Zhen turned around, Liam was already lying on the ground, bathing in his own blood.
"Liam!! No! You have to be alright! You have to save Tristan… please!" She kneeled next to him, gathering Liam in her arms.
