Chapter 138 - He Has No Name (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

”Are you okay?” Siji's voice had me cracked open my eyes. He was the one that cushioning my fall. He must have solidified his body in purpose to save me.

”I'm good.” I inhaled sharply as the pain from before stung my body.

Putting my body on the floor, Siji stood up and blocked me from the man's view. Without seeing it, I knew that his expression hardened as his body went full alert.

”You again.” He hissed.

I propped myself up to see the man was smirking with eyes full of madness.

”Siji, Siji, Siji. We meet again.” His grinned turned even wider and creepier. His handsome face contorted into madness.

”Get lost!” Siji barked loudly. As he said so, the men from the army appeared and filled my house, ready to attack.

”You know I'll come back.” The man said while licking his lips. His tongue looked inhuman. In that particular moment, I felt like I saw a... devil.

”Your current Master is so weak. I'll play with her to her death. Hahahahaha...” The way he laughed was like a maniac, it sent shivers down my spine. And I could hear the seriousness in his voice, that he would play with me until I died.

A powerful figure like him said that he wanted to kill me... tell me, how should I react?

My mind was screaming at me, that there was no way I could protect myself if he wanted me to die. My whole body trembled slightly as fear consumed me.

What should I do? Why did this maniac want to kill me?

”Scram!” Siji shouted as his fingers let out blue fire which was being shot towards the man. At the same time, the men rushed to attack him in all directions.

Technically, there was no way he could dodge. Even shadows couldn't escape from this full siege mode. But, he was gone.

The men scrambled to check on every corners of the house, to find him. Meanwhile, I was stunned in place, my eyes was blankly staring at empty space.

”Milady, are you okay?” Siji's voice pulled me back to my senses as my eyes met his worried gaze.

”I think I am.” I answered softly.

Siji tugged me slightly towards the chair and let me sit down. He was still in his solid form, and thinking about it now, I am amazed with how much power he has inside to be able to maintain his solid form for a long time.

He could even maintain it for a week, if he wanted it. Of course, later I found out why.

”Drink first.” Out of nowhere he put a glass of water in front of me.

I inhaled softly and reached out to the glass. I noticed my hands were still trembling, but after gulping down the water, I could feel my nerves relaxed and the trembling lessened.

”I'm sorry, I should have known he would come and find you.” Siji started.

I put the glass down on the table and looked at him. He had returned to his soul form and he had a guilty expression in his face.

”Who is he?” I still had not had the answer, damn that man! ”Is he a soul?”
