BXBX NOVEL Chapter 184 Frightening Scene
Tristan had never expected that once he entered her room he was the one who would be surprised. No… it was beyond surprise… because he saw something very frightening in his entire life.
With the dim light coming from his cellphone, he saw someone inside her room, a black figure.
He looked powerful as he was lifting Zhen-Zhen using his one arm while strangling her. His other hand was holding something. It was a dagger.
Tristan's eyes widened in horror seeing this scene. An intruder was trying to harm and hurt Zhen-Zhen.
"Let her go!" Tristan shouted as he ran towards them. In his mind, he wanted to help her.
When Tristan yelled, that's the moment Zhen-Zhen and the intruder noticed his presence.
"T-Tristan… No! L-Leave!" Zhen-Zhen tried her best to warn Tristan, telling him to leave. She was having difficulty talking since the man was still strangling her.
The man who was holding Zhen-Zhen in place used his power to stop Tristan from attacking him. The ground cracked open and a giant vine emerged from it, shoving Tristan off.
"N-No!" Zhen-Zhen shouted as she was horrified for Tristan's safety.
Tristan's body was pushed with force, his body hitting the wall.
"Argh!" Tristan grunted in pain because of the impact.
But he couldn't care less. Zhen-Zhen was his priority. He stood up once again, grabbing anything near his spot that he could use to fight the man and these moving vines.
Zhen-Zhen closed her eyes, still trying to remove the man's arm in her throat. He was powerful, suffocating her until she would lose her breath.
After a while, the surroundings darkened for a few seconds. Then Tristan noticed that they were no longer in his place. The environment became entirely different.
They were now outside in an unknown place. The moon and the stars were the sources of light in that dark night.
'What happened? Are we transported to another place?' Tristan pondered to himself.
"You Bastard! Let her go!" Tristan yelled once again as he tried to approach them for the second time around.
The giant vine moved, attacking Tristan but this time a fire black dragon appeared, protecting Tristan against the giant vine.
Upon seeing the dragon, Tristan froze on his spot. He thought he would be attacked by this menacing-looking creature.
'Wait! This dragon looks familiar! It's the one who always appears in my dream, in my nightmare.'
Zhen-Zhen, on the other hand, was able to free herself from the grasp of her attacker by twisting his hand. She became stronger because of her will to protect Tristan.
Cough! Cough!
Zhen-Zhen could finally breathe now.
"Who are you? A guardian warrior? How did you get here?" Zhen-Zhen asked the man but he didn't respond to her.
The man summoned more giant vines, to fight the fire black dragon. Zhen-Zhen looked in Tristan's direction, worries and concerns were written all over her face.
She didn't want Tristan to be hurt. This person came to attack her. It's just so happened that Tristan was also here.
"Tristan! Run! Leave immediately!" Zhen-Zhen shouted to him.
Her voice awakened Tristan from his deep stupor. He was distracted by the black fire dragon and the vines fighting in front of him.
He turned to Zhen-Zhen. He could see that she was able to escape from the man's grasp. A cold glint flashed through his hazel eyes as he looked at the man who was trying to harm Zhen-Zhen.
He clenched his fists. He was boiling with rage as of this moment. He wished he had the power to beat this guy.
"You are a coward! A bastard! How dare you hurt a woman?! You're a spineless man!" Tristan said through his gritted teeth.
The man finally spoke up. "You are bewitched by a demon. You must wake up. Do you want to lose your life because of this evil creature?"
"She is no evil! You are the evil one, trying to hurt the innocent girl!" Tristan spat back at him.
The man's laughter echoed in the place. "Poor man. You are beyond redemption now! You can't distinguish bad from good. You are bewitched by the demon's beauty."
"Tristan, stop provoking him! Please just leave! Runaway from here, fast." Zhen-Zhen interrupted them. She was now begging him to leave.
"No, Zhen-Zhen, I'm not leaving you… not leaving without you!" Tristan emphasized his words.
"Please listen to me! You're no match with him. He came here for me. So please just leave!"
"I loathe a person who tried to defend evil. Now, you must die!" The man mumbled before charging in Tristan's direction at a very fast speed.
"No!" Zhen-Zhen stood up as she also ran towards Tristan.
Everything happened so fast. Tristan couldn't see the man's movement because he was moving at amazing speed.
Before he realized what happened, Zhen-Zhen was already in front of him, shielding him from the incoming attack. Then Tristan was blinded by the light caused by the colliding powers of Zhen-Zhen and the man.
She was releasing fireballs, attacking the man. But he moved fast, dodging those attacks easily. Even Zhen-Zhen couldn't keep up with his speed.
This was her first time, fighting someone. At first, she was reluctant to hurt someone but he was targeting Tristan now. She could no longer standstill. She must do something to protect him.
Tristan could see that the black fire dragon was still fighting the giant vines that were also coming in their direction.
'Damn! Why suddenly this thing is happening?'
Tristan was distracted by his thoughts that he failed to notice the man was already at his back. Zhen-Zhen saw it so she pulled Tristan right away, hugging him.
Then she released a strong force, sending the man away from them. There was a moment of silence after that. Zhen-Zhen just remained still, hugging Tristan as she protected him.
"Tristan…" She mumbled.
"Zhen-Zhen…" he also called her name.
"You are safe…" Zhen-Zhen said with a smile on her face.
However, after saying that, she collapsed in his arms.
"Zhen-Zhen??!"
Seeing her collapsed in his arms was the most frightening scene Tristan had ever seen in his life.
