Eleanor, who was beside him turned her head to feel dust blasting beside her face. The pressure of the wind was powerful that for a moment, she thought something blew beside her and she saw that her friend had indeed blew to ashes.
The girl who was quiet suddenly snap her eyes at her, and when Eleanor met her eyes with Elise's golden ones, she felt the air turn stifling. There was something in the air that shifted. Before the girl was felt like the weakest but now, Eleanor could tell that if she didn't escape she would combust to the same state as the bald man did.
But at the same time, she couldn't leave now after witnessing the immense power Elise had. She wanted to have the power! She looked at the syringe and was about to take it when Elise raised her hand. When Elise pushed her hand, the woman that was once standing was then thrown to the wall that made a hole.
"To think t-that you were h-hiding this kind of p-power!" when the dusts finally start to settle, Eleanor struggled to get up, and when she did, she spewed a mouthful of blood from her mouth. Elise didn't move then but watch her. There was no single expression on Elise's face but a blank look and a wise-judging gaze.
Hallow watched what transpired in confusion. What was going on? Everything happened before his eyes so he knew what happened but Elise seemed different than before. When he saw Elise raising his hand, he was alarmed because suddenly her nose bled.
"Elly!" Hallow run toward her, his foot was slow and he decided to roll to arrive where Elise was. 𝚏𝘳e𝒆𝙬e𝘣𝗻ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
Elise slowly turned her head to him, before she lost consciousness as everything turned black, and fell on the ground. Hallow went to wake her up by slapping his wings on her cheeks, "Elly, are you okay?!! Wake up!! Oh god, Blood!" shrieked Hallow when seeing more blood coming from Elise's nose. He pushed his hand to her nose, confirming she was breathing before going to push his ear to Elise's chest. When he heard the heartbeat sounded normal albeit a little slow, he sighed in relief which was short-lived as he felt the shadow moved behind him.
Eleanor began to laugh, but Hallow was in more panic than happy to see the woman was alive, "What the fuck did you do to her?!"
"I barely did anything. She fainted because of her ability awakening from inside her. ?This is excellent! She had more power than everyone could imagine. With this power we could even destroy Hell, " laughed the woman, who can't wait to have her hands on Elise's power.
Hallow moved forward when Eleanor stepped forward, "Move away little chick. I don't mind killing you, " warned the woman.
"Just for your information, woman, I am very powerful! This is your only time to run, " Hallow gritted his teeth, he look at the door. Where was that fucking Demon?! Before they entered Beelzebub and him went on separate ways. While he searched for Elise, Beelzebub went to hunt for the dark sorcerers, but he shouldn't have done that!
Eleanor flung her head behind and laughed even more after his words, "I can't wait to fight you and see that power of yours. I?Hope you could still talk after meeting my blade, " the woman pulled her blade and charged forward.
Hallow would have run. He would and he could have! But Elise was behind him and she would die if he move, but then?he can't take her to run away either as her body was large compared to him.
Shit! Hallow cursed, thinking it would be his ever last curse when from behind Eleanor was tapped on her shoulders. She turned her head to meet a handsome face of a man with blond hair. The man smiled as if he was offering his greeting, "Time to leave old lady, " and without any struggle Eleanor was engulfed by blue fire.
"We should leave now, " Beelzebub said, he bent down pulling Elise's hand and helped her to escape from the house. When they went to the yard, Hallow continue to check on Elise's condition.
"What's wrong with her? She is sleeping in this state and not waking up!" cane Hallow concerned-filled words. He felt sweaty even though the fire didn't caught him. Seeing the woman, he was sure by now she would turn to ash as Beelzebub's fire was hundred times more blazing than a normal fire.
"I don't know, thankfully she doesn't seem to be injected with this, " Beelzebub showed him the syringe he found laying beside Elise from earlier.
"And what's that?"
"Something that isn't good. I don't know for sure but she is safe for now as whatever liquid inside this string?didn't enter her system. We should move from here, " Beelzebub said after letting Elise on the ground.
Hallow looked at him who seemed like she was about to leave with an expression questioning as if he was dumb."We are leaving now? What about Elise?"
"Not my problem, she is okay and that's it. Ian would find her now in the open. I don't have time left to afford here before he would find me, " saying that, his wings emerged from behind, and Beelzebub was ready to fly. He saw Hallow who didn't move and he didn't ask before soaring to the sky.
Hallow guarded the place when he heard the door was opened from the house. This had the chick reaper to stay quiet for a moment. If he didn't remember it wrong, wasn't everyone dead inside the house? The bald man was reduced to ashes, the woman was burnt with fire. And upon recounting, Hallow find there was one more woman but she seemed to have died in the kitchen.
So who went out from the house?
It was then when Angelica who still had an arrow going through her neck walked to the yard. Her eyes that had rolled behind caught with light. The first time Angelica tried to speak, the arrow had destroyed her neck and she threw blood from her mouth, but her voice managed to came hoarse like a broken disk, "That bitch, " cursed Angelica when her eyes found Elise laying on the ground without Ian anywhere on sight, her eyes turn livid, "You good-for-nothing niece, I will make you regret bringing that Demon to my house!"
