Reincarnation of The Villainess: She Has The Duke's Baby!-Chapter 177: #-Sebastian De Louis Enters The Darkness! The Dark Crown Prince Wants To Kill The Duke!
While Penelope Askary started her fight with Gabriel Brown, a different situation occurred in the prison of the De Louis imperial palace.
Sebastian De Louis shouted angrily and kicked the metal bars in front of him repeatedly. His chest rumbled and felt very hot. The man growled and cursed many times. He had given orders to the guards around the prison to free him but they just kept silent. No matter how loud he shouted, they paid him no mind at all.
"Dammit!" shouted Sebastian again for the umpteenth time. He decided to sit down and close his eyes. There was no point in him continuing to waste his energy screaming and getting angry. His Father would not change his decision and his Mother always supported whatever his Father decided because the man was never wrong in his actions and decisions. "It’s all because of Edmund Gerwyn and Penelope Askary! To hell with my obsession to take Penelope away from Edmund. I have to pay back for everything that damn woman did! I must make her suffer, bend her knees beneath my feet, and make her mine after that."
"Then, how about I help you?"
The question made Sebastian flinch and immediately stand up. He froze when he saw a black magic circle appear in front of him. The wind blew hard, making Sebastian take a step back. Especially when the black light appeared above the magic circle.
Then, a beautiful woman in a black dress stood right in front of Sebastian. The man put on a wary attitude. He looked at the guards who had come to check on him. It seemed like they also felt the strong gusts of wind that occurred in this place.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" asked one of the two guards. Then, he saw the presence of the woman in the black dress. "Hey, who are you?! How did you get into His Highness the Crown Prince’s cell?!"
The woman in black snorted and snapped her fingers. Immediately, the two guards widened their eyes and screamed. Then, their bodies just melted after bleeding profusely from their eyes, nose, and mouth.
"You..." Sebastian De Louis swallowed hard. "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"Defeating the same enemy. That’s my purpose in meeting you," said the woman in a cold tone. "Didn’t you want to bring down Edmund Gerwyn and Penelope Askary?"
"And you... can help me... with that?" Sebastian asked doubtfully. "You, who is just a woman? Can you help me defeat a talented and extraordinary swordmaster who also has a wife with divine powers equivalent to a Saintess?"
"Penelope Askary is indeed a Saintess. She has awakened as a Saintess because I killed Goddess Elleia." The woman in the black dress laughed with satisfaction. "Sebastian De Louis, Crown Prince of the De Louis empire, I am Goddess Oizys. I am the Goddess of darkness. I am the one who caused all the chaos and destruction in the De Louis empire and the Abelavish empire. I really hated Goddess Elleia and managed to kill her. However, all of her holy power entered Penelope Askary’s body."
Sebastian swallowed hard. "You... are the Goddess of darkness?"
"Yes. And I can help you. You can kill Edmund Gerwyn and everyone else. You can ascend the throne and become Emperor, then have two wives at once, Penelope Askary and Isabella Lysander. I can make you get it all. In exchange, you have to help me. Gather everyone who can use magic. Be it white magic or black magic. Be it a noble family or a commoner family. Kill them according to the instructions I will give you. Then, I will seize all of Penelope Askary’s power. Oh, don’t forget to kidnap that woman’s twins. After that, you can have fun with your new status as Emperor and can also taste the body of Penelope Askary that you so desire."
Sebastian was silent. Slowly, the corners of his lips lifted. He smiled. A terrible smile that looked fit on his handsome face. The man licked his lips and closed his eyes.
"Ah... Penelope Askary’s body. Hm. Yes. I want that sexy body more than Isabella’s body even though I want Isabella too." He opened both eyes. "I will help you. What should I do now?"
"Kill those who will hinder our plans to rule the world and turn this world into a world of darkness," said Goddess Oizys. He pointed at Sebastian and the black light came out from the tip of her index finger. The black light hit Sebastian De Louis’ body, making the Crown Prince freeze, widen his eyes, and scream.
Suddenly, all of Sebastian De Louis’ clothes turned black. He opened both eyes and his emerald green eyes turned pitch black like the darkness. His blood red hair turned black too. His appearance is very similar to Penelope Askary when the Duchess turns into the Dark Duchess.
"You are perfect now, Your Highness," said Goddess Oizys in a happy tone. "Some of my dark power resides within you. Now, I will send you to a fun place. There, you can have fun because you will kill the man you really hate. The man who always takes everything you want and everything you have."
"Edmund Gerwyn," Sebastian muttered with a grin. "I can taste his blood now."

"Where is my wife?!"
"I’m sorry, Duke," said Claude Sylvester in a scared tone. "I really can’t track the Duchess’s whereabouts."
"And you call yourself a talented wizard whose power is extraordinary and equal to the owner of a magic tower?!" Edmund shouted again. He threw the vase against the wall until it broke and shattered into pieces. Not only Claude, several wizards in Gerwyn’s mansion also couldn’t trace Penelope Askary’s whereabouts. It had been almost half an hour since the woman had disappeared. "Do I have to kill you all?!"
"Duke, calm down," Ethan said in a firm tone. He was just as panicked and afraid as Edmund but Ethan tried not to lose control of himself. Ethan was also afraid that if Edmund gave in to the anger and darkness inside him, then that would make Goddess Oizys control the Duke’s mind. "There’s no point if you continue like this." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Edmund jerked Ethan’s hand away. "You’re telling me to stay calm when I don’t even know what happened to my wife?! That’s your little sister, Ethan Askary! Aren’t you worried about what’s happening to her right now? She went to meet the most dangerous man in the De Louis empire."
"Oh? I’m happy because my position was finally replaced by another man," chuckled Philleo. He shrugged his shoulders when Edmund and Ethan gave him murderous looks. "That’s true, isn’t it? Compared to a man whose hobby is sacrificing humans and using them as guinea pigs, I might just be an innocent boy. Rather than that, I understand why all the wizards and Claude couldn’t track Penelope. The woman must have activated magic that prevented people from knowing her whereabouts. Some kind of hiding magic or something like that."
"Like you did when you kidnapped her back then?" Ethan asked to confirm.
Philleo nodded.
"But, we were able to track you back then!"
"Edmund Gerwyn, your wife’s current power is the divine power of the Goddess. She was a Saintess now, no longer an ordinary woman. If you could track me back then, it was because I was just an ordinary man. I may have high magic power but with the help of a magician who is more powerful than me," Philleo glanced at Claude. "Like that man or perhaps His Highness Helios, you guys will definitely be able to track me down no matter how well I hide."
"Dammit!" Edmund sat up and ruffled his blue hair. He rubbed his face with both hands and took a deep breath. "I’m going to lose my mind if Penny keeps doing dangerous things like this. She will be the death of me one of these days!"
"You really can’t be saved." Ethan snorted. "Now, Goddess Elleia is dead. We don’t even know who to beg and ask for help."
"What about Prince and Princess?" asked Claude, who had been silent for a long time. "Don’t they have the same divine power as the Duchess? Maybe they can track down the Duchess."
"What would you say to a baby who is only a few months old, Claude Sylvester?" Ethan grumbled. "Do you think they will understand everything you say? Don’t make me angry and end up changing your hair color to pink!"
Claude pouted. He just suggested but why was he being scolded like this?
"No. The man is right." Edmund nodded. He stood up and looked at everyone. "My kids will understand if I talk to them. They are always like that. They are special children. I have to try it. I—"
A powerful explosion knocked Edmund Gerwyn and the others flying. Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Philleo activated his protective magic to protect Edmund, Ethan, and Claude so they didn’t hit the wall and get seriously injured. It seemed Claude was caught off guard which was why he didn’t immediately activate protective magic for all of them.
Edmund Gerwyn’s study is destroyed. Edmund coughed and pushed aside the crumbling wall nearby. He looked for Ethan, Claude, and Philleo, and found them fine. The Duke stood and stared ahead. When the dust raised by the explosion had disappeared, Edmund froze. His blue eyes widened as he faced a man with an extremely killing aura surrounding him. The man’s hair and eyes even turned black. Just like the color of his attire.
"Sebastian De Louis...?"
"Hello, Edmund Gerwyn." Sebastian grinned and waved. "How does my new look, look? Ah, it feels so good to be reborn as a new person." The man took out his sword and licked the sword. "And this time, I will definitely kill you and make Penelope Askary mine!"
