95 A Lovers Quarrel (1/2)

He looked at his surroundings only to find Alex's battered and unconscious body on the ground missing one leg and one arm along with a few fingers. Technically speaking he was in much better shape than Jayden but without demon-like regeneration, Moby knew that he would no doubt not live for long.

He slowly let go of Jayden's unconscious body, tears still rushing down his face before setting his sights on the still recovering Natalia in the distance with more anger and rage than he ever felt before in his entire life.

”NATALIA XANE!! I'LL FUCKING TURN YOU TO SHREDS!!!” He screamed at the top of his lungs, activating his ”Eyes of Sin” before dashing towards her at top speed causing large cracks in the wake of his every step.

'What the fuck was that! It felt like I was struck by a meteorite, Natalia thought, cracking her jaw back into place before trying to stand up to see what had just happened.

However, before she got the chance to fully stand up, she felt someone's large, purple, burning, iron grasp grab her head like it was a basketball, smashing her face on the ground before dragging it on the hard yet muddy terrain as they sprinted before continuously smashing it through multiple rocks and trees in quick succession. She also felt that a small portion of her mana was being sucked out of her body but it was so little that she could barely tell if she was imagining things.

As Natalia's face was being smashed, she tried to take a peek at her sudden attacker with little to no result. All she knew about her assailant was that they were someone that really liked and cared about Jayden Griffith due to them screaming about staying away from their Jayden so she immediately assumed that they were not a good person.

Due to her face being burned, grabbed, and smashed in the ground, she was unable to blink out. So she opted to extend her retracted blades straight into the chest of her assailant, making him cough up blood on her face before he kicked her away in the stomach with incredible force, blowing her away and making her retract her blade from his body.

Her attacker did not deal much damage to her. It was almost like his main goal was to move her elsewhere instead of trying to deal damage which was exactly what Moby was going for. He wanted to take the battle elsewhere so that Natalia doesn't try any underhanded tactics such as killing or taking Jayden hostage in the middle of the fight.

”Why do you all always attack my beautiful face! Are you all just jealous or something?? Why am I so unlucky! All I wanted to do was to kill Jayden Griffith and I got an entire mob against me! Now what kind of bit-” Natalia said in annoyance before biting her tongue in regret as soon as she saw who she was talking to.

”M-m-m-m-Moby!? What are you doing here... Didn't I tell you to wait in the cave until I got back honey?” Natalia's tone immediately shifted into a much kinder and almost motherly tone.

Moby just ignored Natalia's words, demon flashing towards her in quick succession. He had no time for chit chat while his friend and his crush were both dying and bleeding out on the ground and for a future plan that he had.

He infused his blade with demon energy before slashing the air creating waves of slash-like pure demon energy projectiles that were headed in Natalia's direction making her naturally dodge a few while blinking to dodge the others when they got too close.

When Moby noticed that Natalia had used 3 blinks in one quick succession, he demon flashed into close quarters, slashing towards Natalia's chest with all his might.

However, when he expected to slash right through her armour dealing critical damage, he hit nothing but air, making him frantically look around in front of him with anger and impatience to find her whereabouts.

”Moby… Why do you look so mad… Are you angry at me for some reason?” He felt a hand go on his shoulder before he heard a voice coming from behind him.

Moby immediately turned around, slashing right behind him only to hit nothing but air once more.

”Moby dear! Do you not recognize me at all due to all this darkness? Are your purple night-vision eyes broken? It's me… Natalia… Your one and only love!” She said, popping up right beside him, softly caressing his cheeks with her metal gloves prompting Moby to slash at her once more only for her to blink away once more.

”SHUT THE FUCK UP!!” Moby screamed, predicting where she was going to reappear due to his small amount of future sight, slashing at her forcing Natalia to block with her blade.

Then, as their blades clashed, Moby ducked down under her arm, infusing his fists with pure demon energy and punching her straight in the liver, causing slightly more cracks to form in her previously banged-up armour.
