“Most of them managed to escape!” A young handsome man in golden armor spat out with utter disgust, his eyes narrow and focused on the far shore where the boats disappeared behind a veil of darkness and fog.
“Doesn’t matter, judging by the way they escaped, they won’t be able to survive the mirage, it was quite the experience!” another man replied nonchalantly, a smug smile plastered on his face.
“But what if they did? What if they returned? more prepared this time?” the first man spoke, his thick brows pulled into a deep frown, his jaw clenched firmly, and his thin lips pressed together, he didn’t like the fact that some lowlifes managed to escape, but what annoyed him the most was the way hi
How was this even possible? Mao wondered, trying not to focus on the vivid pain he was feeling, for he didn’t mind the pain as much as the fact that he let his guards down and walked straight into a trap.He was shocked, but mostly furious, at himself, and at the bastards who tricked him, and while nothing but a thin sheen of ice appeared on his exterior, the cold was spreading inside him, reaching his every organ and nearly turning it into an ice block if it wasn’t for the divine blessing he carried inside of him which allowed his body to resist the vicious and silent assault, his eyeballs were immobilized inside their sockets, his blood was hardly keeping it warmth, and his lungs felt as if they were being ripped from within. Glaring at the demoness who was looking back at him with a mixture of fierceness and tiredness, Mao couldn&
“Come feed!” Rima looked at Henry with shock and disbelief, perplexed as to why was he asking her to feed on the man who was fidgeting and trashing in his hold, trying to free himself from the human’s clutches, his amputated arms dissipated into ashes while new ones were in the process of forming, the battle was nowhere near done yet Henry was asking her to feed? Rima couldn’t see the purpose behind Henry’s demand, nevertheless, she couldn’t deny the fact that she was very tempted to go and sink her teeth in the man’s neck, suck every drop of the thick blood dripping out of his neck, so warm and inviting, tickling her senses with it rich smell, it was different from human blood, she thought, this one held more power in it, more life, just what her drained body needed.Howeve
Glancing from under her dark lashes to the proud handsome man taking wide strides next to her, trying to match her rhythm, one which she deliberately set on a high speed using her pure demonic blood, and yet the human was able to keep up effortlessly, not even panting.He was handsome indeed, with his larger than light frame, broad shoulders, and strong build, his face was a perfect balance Taking a secret side glimpse from under her dark thick lashes, the shadow demoness assessed the man taking wide and proud strides next to her, he was handsome indeed, even for a human, with his dark brown hair and blue eyes, his face firm and serious yet still had a softness that made him approachable, his strong
It all felt the same, as if they were thrown back to the same hell all over again, only that this time it didn’t just come from above, it came from every direction.Turning to the source of the scream, Henry’s eyes widened and his heart pounded in his chest like a trapped bird as he watched the men, humans and demons, with their bodies caught on fire, clawing at the ground as they tried to crawl forward yet couldn’t, because they were tied down but what looked like thick moving ropes.At first, Henry thought that it was snakes, but focusing a little, he saw the continuity the strange ropes had with the soil and the trees, roots! Henry thought, the roots somehow had a mind of their own and started attacking them!
Henry's mind was back on functioning once he was able to catch the tip of the thread, he observed the barrier, then the trees, then the barrier again, noting for the first time that the forest didn't attack them nor show any sign of life and hostility, even when they attacked the newborns, until they attacked the barrier, with fire arrows at that, the fire that seemed to extinguish mid-air, could it be the one that lit up the trees? could it be that their attacks on the barrier were thrown back at them by some mysterious connection between it and the forest? This mechanism, whatever it was, seemed very difficult to decipher and so was the connection but again nothing was fully decipherable nor understandable since they got themselves into this crazy journey.Henry decided to go on with his recent, hopefully correct, assumptions,
Henry stared with fascination at the crystal castle and its unique architecture, it was large, and built directly on the forest lands without any grooves nor water streams surrounding it, it towers almost scraping the sky, the walls made of the finest crystal emerging directly from the ground without the stony base, shining with their own light, there were no signs of a gate or any windows on the castle, making it appear like a giant flawless diamond with perfect cuts, and for a second, he couldn’t believe he just gave an order to rain it down with fire and ice spears, not until they started colliding with the flawless walls.Beauty could be deceiving indeed, Henry told himself, for something so beautiful like the castle was hiding the most vicious creatures in their world, ones which manipulated them for thousands of years
Could it be someone's in the army? Henry thought looking around him, but if that was the case, then why didn’t they sense it before, could it be the place? Were the Gods playing some tricks on them, turning them on each other the way they did thousands of years ago, but before he could test his theory, a demon pointed at something lying on the crystal floor.Someone! Henry looked closely, a person lying in a pool of blood, he couldn’t see the person clearly but the silver locks were not easy to miss.Indeed, it was hard to miss! So how did they miss it the first time they walked into the whole, it almost felt as if the body was hidden behind a curtain which blocked their visions, and the only way to see what was behind it and make it
Andrea and the rest of the army stood ready, their fingers tightening around their weapons, watching as the shadows’ lord, who looked nothing like his old self, fought against something none of them was able to see, waiting for his signal, for an opening of his making to move, not many understood why did the human king leave, nor what was the shadows’ lord fighting, all they knew was that they had one last order, one which was going to end the war.Eren, on the other hand, glared at the bastard who dodged another one of his attacks, he was fast, too fast, but the shadows’ lord was only warming up, feeling his newly acquired powers itching to come out.....
