“Why do people fall in love?” Amaal asked as he defended himself from Shadow and Dahlia’s attacks with twin swords that he made out of his blood. “Is it because they’re fed with stupid movies, novels and magazines from a young age that glorifies sex while objectifying the people, or is it because love comes organically out of them? Tell me. How did you two fall in love? Did you follow the foolish trends of society, or were you able to think and act on your own?”Even though he asked them a question, they kept attacking him with their punches and kicks. Shadow was still yet to completely recover from the internal damage that he had received, but he was supporting Dahlia so that they could keep Amaal on the back foot.“Why aren’t you answering my question?” Amaal asked. “I genuinely want to know what love means. Do you need to have a certain number of traits to be successful at love, or do you just go with the flow of your heart? What makes you two look at each other with eyes full of l
As Brad and the three knights mercilessly attacked an old, injured Mina, she didn’t give up but kept fighting with the intent of not giving up until her last breath.A dark-cloaked woman flew into the scene and kicked both of the knights in their waists and sent them flying. She also caught Brad’s face and smashed his face down to the foggy ground, which kept biting his skin, but he rotated his torso 180 degrees and kicked her chin, forcing her back. He quickly got up to his feet and rearranged his head and glared at this mysterious person. “Who are you? No, it doesn’t matter who you are.” He clawed at her, but all he hit was vapor. “This is…”Akira appeared behind him, thrust her hand into his back and pulled his heart out.Brad turned his head around. Blood concentrated near his open mouth and shot forth at Akira like a laser.Akria reacted fast and moved away, but still, a third of her mask and hood were burnt, revealing just a part of the left side of her face. “Why aren’t you dea
In appearance, Amaal was over ten meters tall and looked like a gorgon beast, in that he was extremely macabre and repugnant to look at.He had a great opportunity to craft a successful surprise attack and finish off Dahlia, and he acted on it without hesitation, but perhaps he got a bit too greedy in thinking, he ended up making a hissing noise as he brought his massive head out of the portal from behind Dahlia.The noise he made unintentionally was like that of the hissing of a fully-grown king cobra. It brought a shivering to Dahlia’s veins, and she couldn’t move. Her body froze against her will even though she realized in that instance that Amaal was right behind her. She thought she was a goner, but Shadow’s lightning fist pounded into Amaal’s jaw, breaking his jaw and many of his teeth and also disfiguring the whole face.Amaal’s body completely came out of the portal and flew into the distance, but he landed on his feet and completely recovered his lost teeth and fixed his jaw
“Benjamin is here. Benjamin is there. Benjamin is everywhere, says Rebecca,” Elizabeth was frustrated as she helped her husband get down the stairs. “I can't help but agree with her. He used to help us with cooking, cleaning, and everything. Now, he’s not here, and the maids are very slow compared to him. Even though they take salaries, they work slower than Benjamin who didn’t take any salary. They don’t take insults like him, either. Truly, we lost a valuable slave.”“He’s Ryan’s son, Elizabeth,” Shawn commented. “Why do you still think he’s a slave? If he wanted, he could have had all of us as his slaves.”Elizabeth’s heart skipped for a second, but she snorted. “Hmph, I seriously don’t think Benj-fucking-min is the old-stinkin’ Ryan’s son. He must be playing some kind of trick to fool us or something. You know what, your mom has found someone who’s really fitting for Rebecca.”“Oh, who?” Shawn was interested.“I don’t remember his name, but he acted in a couple of movies that your
In the morning, Rebecca was staring toward the south. Seeing the roses and jasmines in the backyard, she remembered the times when Benjamin tried giving her stalks of roses or bouquet of jasmines or red flowers and told her to suck honey out of them. There was a time when a rose thorn had pierced her foot, and Benjamin came rushing to help her. The thorn entered deep into her flesh, and it hurt quite a bit. Rebecca hissed in pain. Benjamin was about to use his mouth to bite her flesh and suck the thorn out, but Rebecca didn’t let him use his mouth. So, Benjamin had to use his nails to pinch her flesh and force the nail out. He said he’d carry her to her room, but Rebecca walked off on her own. She didn’t even remember thanking him at that time. One night, Rebecca went to the rooftop to enjoy the night’s breeze. Benjamin came running to her, saying someone was attacking him because he married her. “Attacking you?” she asked him. “Is it my mom again?” Benjamin, however, pointed at th
Brad and the two knights together kept attacking Akira ruthlessly. If not for Brad’s Vapor Walk, he wouldn’t even have been able to properly land a hit on Akira. Because he was capable of putting pressure on her, the other two knights took advantage of this and kept pressuring Akira, not giving her any time to fight back.When Brad managed to grab her black cloak, a part of it turned into a bat and bit on him, startling him, forcing him to let go of the cloak.“This…” Brad looked shocked. “It can’t be… Why do you have the cloak that belonged to ‘that’ man? There’s no way you could have stolen it from him.”“When I ran away from him, I took this,” Akira said. The destroyed part of her cloak regenerated itself, but the destroyed part of her mask didn’t.Brad frowned because as far as he knew, this cloak was gifted to Amaal’s brother-in-law in the past by Amaal’s father. Only the royals who were eligible to sit on the throne were even allowed to touch it, much less wear it. “I am going t
Brad laughed like a beast as black blood spilled on his face and one of Akira’s arms fell off. “This is what happens when you fight those who are out of your league! Only death awaits you!” He squeezed her wounded shoulder and tortured her some more.Akira kept howling in pain. Mina raised her forearm and stuck it between Akira’s teeth. A vampire’s instincts automatically made Akira’s teeth dig into the old woman’s teeth.Brad immediately tried to pull Mina’s arm out, but it didn’t come. Akira had dug her fangs deep into the arm, after all.Bart quickly stomped on top of Mina’s abdomen to crush the old woman as well as Akira’s legs that were under Mina at this moment.Mina coughed blood, and an unimaginable pain gripped her head. Her abdomen was already half missing, but now Brad had just torn off the rest of the stomach, so her body split off from below her diaphragm. The shock was too much, and her eyes almost completely turned white. Moreover, Akira was still sucking the blood from
Shadow swiveled and cleaved through the portal, but it was Molly that he struck. She blocked his sword with a shield, but still lost the shield as well as the arm that held the shield.Shadow was startled to see Molly when he was expecting Amaal. In that fraction of a second when he was piecing things together, Amaal shapeshifted back into his original form and attacked from behind and bit on Shadow’s neck.He didn’t drink Shadow’s blood because he had no idea what would happen to him if he were to drink when Shadow was releasing black lightning. Nevertheless, the deadly bite proved highly poisonous.Like a rat that would convulse at a king cobra’s bite, Shadow also lost the ability to control his motory functions and collapsed on the ground and began to convulse.“My venom is stronger enough to neutralize even dragons,” Amaal proudly said. “Your neurons are slowly going to rot from the poison. The parasites in the position will slowly take over your brain. Once you’re weakened both p
