BXBX NOVEL Chapter 399
Chapter 399 – Part Of Her Soul
Rafael stared at the blank path with narrowed eyes. He could not feel her presence at all. Nor did he feel the presence of Anne.
His ears were sharp enough to get even the slightest of sound but the demon did not look like he was mistaken.
“Where are they?” he asked in a cold voice when the demon who had turned into a young boy covered his lips with his hands and asked him to do the same.
He took slow and conscious steps towards the lake, often throwing small pebbles on the way to make sure that he was landing on the correct side.
Rafael could see the slight worry in the eyes of the demon making his face darker too.
They walked for a long time in silence when the demon finally stopped and before Rafael could ask what happened, a strong “boom” sound took him off guard.
The place was so silent just a few seconds ago but now it felt like the ground shook badly and cracked.
But he could not see where the sound was coming from. No matter in which direction he saw, he could not see any sign of human beings.
“They have a barrier around them. It is most probably done by your wife to keep Anne safe, she must be here somewhere.” The demon pointed at the direction of the barrier and then started walking towards it.
Rafael could not see anything there, it just looked like any other area but when he walked towards it, he could feel a strong pulse of energy and even the shaking of the ground as if they were fighting with strong weapons.
“There she is!” Rafael pointed as he almost ran and crouched down on the ground where Anne was laying.
“Anne!” He called her softly and then patted the cheeks of the young witch. She looked white as sheet as if she did not have any drop of blood left in her body.
“What happened to her?” he asked with a frown, she looked like a vampire who had not fed since ages.
The demon held the hands of the young and unconscious witch and sighed.
“She is drained. The demons had taken all her soul energy. They must be trying to feed on her.” he said with an audible sigh as he closed his eyes.
“Though i did not have much too but if she was not given some, she could die with her fading heart beat.” a silver glow started to form at his fingertips that was observed by the girl slowly.
How much time had passed when he finally let her go! Though she did not wake up, the color on her face had returned. But now the demon looked drained. He stumbled when he tried to hold Anne in his arms and stand up.
Rafael took Anne from his hands and gave him back support too while looking at him with worried eyes.

“I am fine! You do not need to worry about me. Anne is fine too, she would wake up soon after some rest but Hazel..” he looked at the other side where the witch must be fighting alone. “I am not sure for how long she will be able to fight! I can sense a dozen of low level demons and one strong level demon that could overpower her easily if she was fighting for long.”
His eyes turned gloomy and darker and a tinge of worry could be seen in them when he looked at the barrier.
Rafael’s eyes narrowed. His fangs were peeking through his mouth while his eyes had turned darker. He had never thought that he would regret not being a witch one day or he would have broken the barrier with his spells.
“Can you break the barrier in your current condition?” he asked the demon who nodded solemnly. His brows scrunched up and his eyes were narrowed at a certain place before looking back at Rafael.
“Anne needed to be protected or she could be used as the weakness of Hazel. I will open the barrier and then leave this place with her. I will come back as soon as i will gain some strength and she would be left at a safe place.” The demon held the girl tightly and brought her closer to his chest when Rafael nodded.
He was ready to flee the moment demons would notice his presence. The girl in his arms flinched but he did not pay much attention to that.
Soon, he closed his eyes and muttered a spell slowly. The land around him started to shake and silver lights started to sparkle on the other side.
A large goblet-like circle started to show at the other side.
As if covered by the curtain of night earlier, the walls of the barrier were not visible at all but once the spell was muttered, the silver lights had come to life.
He kept staring at the circle for a few more minutes before taking out a small dagger and threw it on the walls.
“Would it be enough?” asked Rafael as he walked closer to those silver walls and tried to attack it with his punch but it only trembled a bit.
There was no crack on it with those small attacks.
“Yeah, it needed some force since she had used so much energy into it.” said the demons with a sigh and then added, “but I am afraid that if I break it too harshly then she would be affected too since she is using her lifeforce to keep the barrier intact.”
“…….” the eyes of Rafael widened and his clenched fist that was about to punch the barrier again stopped midway.
He glared at the demon as if he was senile.
“And you are telling me this only now? Do you want to kill my wife and your master! You fool!” he could not contain his irritation in such words but wanted to beat him to a pulp.
“I.. I can open teleportation for you.”
