BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71 Devi's Punishment
\'Oh shit!\'
Devi cursed in her heart when Zoravec pulled Simon\'s tongue and ripped it off. The demoness knew that the shaking of Simon\'s soul would definitely push her out. But before she could even think of anything Devi was thrown out and she landed straight near Zoravec\'s feet. The demoness did not intend to make him angry but eventually she did.
The woman scrunched shut her eyes and gulped, then opened them as she lifted her head. Devi continued to murmur to herself, while Zoravec released Simon\'s body. He became unconscious with the excruciating pain which did not let him stay awake. Simon\'s body slumped on the ground with a thud as the sound made Devi shudder.
\'Fuck! I\'m doomed. I really am doomed.\'
Devi was not sure whether to laugh that she stole a few touches from him, or to get worried that now she was doomed. Nonetheless, she knew that she had to face Zoravec either now or at home. Talking there was still better because Zoravec would not hurt her publicly.
"Get up!"
Meanwhile Simon laid there unconscious as Zoravec demanded her to get up from the floor. Devi stood up with a nervous gaze as she looked at Zoravec with a smile. It was evident that she was fucked up and ruined her chances of earning forgiveness. However, Zoravec seemed to have different plans, now that the demoness was finally there.
"What are you doing here? What did you think you were doing inside his body?"
Zoravec became impatient to ask her the questions, but he remained calm not to trigger his powers. Also, he had to keep up with his pretence and the nonchalant attitude which he had shown earlier to Devi. There was an utter disappointment in his eyes as he confronted her.
"I was just….ehehe (nervously chuckle) testing my skills."
Devi was sure that she had to tell the truth eventually. But the demoness intended to keep it twisted so as not to say the obvious hint that she had been stalking him. Zoravec knew she had been lying to him but at that moment it was not the priority. He had other important things to do first before dealing with her.
Zoravec raised his one eyebrow in frown and let the matter slide. However he made it appear as if he was supposed to punish her later on. Devi could clearly see the rage in his eyes but she expected something violent from him. She had already witnessed what he was capable of and did not intend to suffer from the same fate as Simon.
"Oh, I see. So, you wanted to test your skills, huh? Let me help you with the tasks."
He gave a lopsided grin to the demoness, who in turn gulped upon seeing that evil flicker in his eyes. Devi knew what it meant and she had seen it before too, the woman was sure that she was doomed. Because Zoravec would definitely make that so- called task as a punishment.
Zoravec glanced at Simon\'s unconscious body and gestured to Devi with his eyes. He knew what he was doing, Zoravec had cleverly planned everything so nobody would suspect him for whatever happened to Simon. And since he could not speak anymore it made Zoravec in the safe zone.
After all, who would believe that a weakling and ordinary human like Zoravec mutilated Simon\'s mouth. He was a bloody dhampir and there was no way that Zoravec stood any chance against him in any duel. Nobody would believe Simon even if he took Zoravec\'s name. Because the tests will eventually prove that he was powerless and an ordinary human.
"Take his body and dispose of it somewhere far from here. Make sure his distance has at least one deserted spot in between."
He glanced at the body with disgust and then pointed out Devi to direct her gaze towards that tongue. The demoness had no clue he would give him such an easy task. Although deep down she seemed to suspect his intentions.
Was he shooing her off for a while so she would not stalk him? Or was that really a punishment because it did not seem like one? Was Zoravec keeping the actual torture for later? Nevermind, Devi had to fulfil the first task in order to know the rest plan.
The demoness nodded reluctantly as moved towards the body, when Zoravec stepped back. He did not want to ruin his clothes even though Simon\'s blood was still over his hand. Devi unsheathed her tail and wrapped it around unconscious Simon. The demoness\' body oozed some black aura which felt like smoke.
"After getting done with him, go home. I don\'t want to spot you here once again. Or else your punishment will be worse. I will deal with you when I get home."
Zoravec warned her before she could leave, his glowing crimson eyes clearly stated that he was not in a good mood.
However, the smoke swirled and turned into a hollow circle in the middle of the arcade. Devi cast a last glance at Zoravec before she headed inside that hollow circle and vanished. As soon as she was gone, the demoness dragged Simon\'s body with her tail into that circle. The black smoke dissipated into the air after they both were gone.
\'Finally. Now I should better get going inside the classroom.\'
Zoravec lifted his hand and shook his head as he massaged his temples. He was impatient in knowing the whole scenario but perhaps it was too late to know from Simon\'s mouth. Zoravec glanced at the blood spilled on the floor and sighed.
However, he was lucky enough that there was nobody in the arcade who could see anything. Or perhaps there was someone? Zoravec inhaled deeply and the spilled blood began to accumulate in one place. The blood practically turned into a red smoke as Zoravec\'s eyes began to shine crimson bright.
\'Tsk, only if I hadn\'t acted upon my impulse. I could have waited a bit till he told me about how Pike died. Fuck! It\'s important for me to know how he died. I hope it was not due to my punch, or I am really doomed.\'
Zoravec shook his head as the red smoke began to get absorbed in his hand.
\'People can even testify we had a quarrel yesterday, it is obvious that cops will suspect me immediately.\'
He shook his head and headed towards his class. As he headed towards the exit of the corridor the red smoke accompanied him as it gradually vanished into his right hand.
