BXBX NOVEL Chapter 388 She Was Not A Match
———————————
Anne’s lips parted and closed but not a single voice came out of her mouth. She could not believe that he asked that!
“Anne! Do not listen to him. Go and save your life. Run away from the woods. They are not safe anymore.” Declan shouted with all his force but she did not move even an inch.
The man frowned! He walked closer to Declan and kicked on his abdomen.
He used all his force to press him down further when Declan coughed a mouth full of blood.
His eyes widened and then closed again. When the man finally let him go, he took the position of the fetus while covering his abdomen with both hands.
His face was white as a sheet and lost all his senses.
He was not even able to acknowledge the presence of Anne anymore.
The man was standing too close to Declan, so even if she ran to him and opened a portal, she would not be able to do it or the man would be able to enter too.
Her power of water and ice was not working on him at all nor were the spells she had learnt.
She shook her head. Maybe if she uses stronger spells! She clenched her hands tightly and tried to collect all her energy on her fingertips.
With that she attacked him once again, this time using all her energy as a blade to cut him but before the blade could touch his body, he held it in his palm.
She tried to move it but his hold was so tight that sweat started to cover her body yet the blade did not move at all.
A few drops of blood came out from the hands of the man when she noticed that it was not red but a darker shade of black and her eyes widened.
“You.. you!” she opened her mouth and closed again when the man smirked with an arrogant look on his face.
“So you are not that foolish. Huh?” his eyes glowed darker and only then did she notice how different he was than normal humans. He was not one of them at all.
“Yes, I am a demon and I am thirsty for the blood of the strong.” he accepted as he licked his lips again, “and I must say that you will be a good choice.”
His eyes were raking at her body as if she was a feast but then he chuckled and shook his head.
“But I am more interested in tasting your sister. Go and bring her here if you want to save this pathetic lover of yours.” he said as he held the blade with his other hands and placed all his pressure on it.
She winced and closed her eyes as she tried to maintain her composure yet her feet staggered and she fell on the ground when he broke the blade into two parts.
That took off all her energy and she felt like a dried raisin whose vitals were squeezed dry. Her breath quickened and rugged when he looked at her fallen selfie with a look of disdain.
“And i am glad that i have chosen hers not you!” His face had a look of disdain when he looked at the couple that were laying on the ground with white faces, “but you two looked like you are made for each other!”
He walked to her and crouched on the ground so that he could meet her eyes.
He held her hair and pulled them with some force so that she was looking back into his eyes when he smirked.
She did not wince or show any sign of pain when she looked into his eyes but there was fire of anger.
Her eyes were filled with rage and hate when she glared back at him. His eyes glowed again as if he was enjoying her plight.
“Now go and bring your sister here. She is the only one that could save him and I am not a patient man to begin with. So.. you only have four hours.” he pointed at the sky with his finger when she followed his direction.
“Look at the red color of the sky, I will kill your love the moment the first star would be out in the sky. So you better hurry.” With that he let her hair go and rubbed her face as if she was a nice pet who listened to the command of her owner.
She gritted her teeth and wanted to attack him again but his eyes were telling him that she would regret it if she did so.
He held her hands and pulled her up to stand again.
“Did i not tell you that i am not that patient and you did not have much time. Then why are you still here?” he asked with a frown as he pushed her a bit.
“Go on and create another portal or you will regret your tardiness.” his men that were busy in getting themselves rid of the vines, came towards him too.
They all were standing freely now. One of them held Declan and brought him dragging to their master who laughed as he pulled the hair of Declan so that the man would raise his head and place a dagger on his neck when finally Anne took a step back.
Satisfied with her actions, he let the man go.
“Remember, i will only wait till the first star will rise in the sky.” he reminded her when she opened another portal and she nodded with gritted teeth.
Sne entered the portal and it closed soon behind her.
Just as she left, the man let go of Declan who was not even able to stand up by himself. This time he stood up and dusted his clothes with a smirk on his face.
“Tsk! I thought that she would never go! Got so many stains on my clothes and body because of her tardiness.”
