Chapter 125: Injured? (2/2)
”Oh my, it feels good when a beauty is worrying about you, doesn't it?” Kadyn smirked as soon as she asked and winked at her.
”Wh-what nonsense are you talking about?” Cecilia turned red hearing his teasing words and looked away due to embarrassment. Her heart started to beat faster. It was the first time someone said those words to her. Even though she was powerful, she was still a young girl. Kadyn saw her reaction and didn't push his luck, it wouldn't be good if a misunderstanding appeared later in between them.
”How dare you ignore me, bitch?!” Jinn shouted and sharp icicles started to form all around him. He glared at the two of them and said. ”Die!”
”Hmph, a petty trick, and you still want to kill me with that!” Cecilia snorted, her face was filled with disdain when she spoke those words. She waved her hand and all around her hundreds of dark, sharp spears formed, then she pointed towards those incoming icicles and spears dashed towards them.
When the two spells met with each other a huge trimmer filled the entire area. Roclus and others were completely pale, trembling in terror, and were trying to hide behind the boulder, to preserve their pathetic lives. They never thought that the boy they took with them had such a strong companion. Furthermore, they had no idea where she had come from. Was she always with them? A simple thought was enough to make them shiver and turn their hearts cold.
As the dirt settled, the scene became clear. Cecilia was still standing beside Kadyn, her hands were on her round beautiful butt, looking into the distance with a slight smile — while Jinn was nowhere to be seen in the sky when Kadyn searched, he found him, lying on the ground. He seemed miserable, covered in dirt, clothes tattered, and coughing blood nonstop.
”Huh?” Kadyn was surprised when he saw him in that kind of situation because he didn't think that attack was enough to deal with him. He was after all Rank 2 mage. How could he be defeated so easily? No matter how impressive Cecilia was, he would never believe that she could defeat Rank 2 mage just like that.
Cecilia saw his surprised expression and explained. ”It's not as impressive as you think. I could get an upper hand because he was already injured. Furthermore, his injuries aren't physical, but his soul was injured by someone. However, to defeat this guy would take more than just that attack. We still have a lot of work to do.”
”Injured?” Kadyn looked at Jinn who had already stood and seemed to understand something. ”So that's why he needed other people. He was devouring their souls to heal himself all this time.”
”Exactly,” Cecilia nodded. ”Due to his injuries, or maybe, due to the fear of his enemies he dared not to leave this place. Therefore he conned these villagers to send him other people from time to time. Though the speed of his recovery would be slow with such a method, it was safe.”
”How dare you?!” Jinn shouted, as soon as he calmed. ”How dare you injure me?!”
As he shouted he looked at the Roclus and his group who were not too far away from him and extended his hand towards them. Once more the same illusory claw formed and went towards them.
”No good,” Kadyn said, Cecilia was also caught unprepared, and couldn't react in time. Jinn grabbed Roclus and Elder Tandu and others and crushed their heads into a bloody pulp. They couldn't even beg or scream for mercy, dying a miserable death. Jinn didn't waste his time and sucked their souls into his body.
He looked at Kadyn and Cecilia with his red eyes and said. ”Though it is not enough to heal me, it is enough to fuel me for a time being. Enough to slaughter you! You dare to interfere in my matter. Now you have to pay for that!”
”Humph, even if you were in your top condition, you would not be able to kill me, much less now,” Cecilia said and stood in front of Kadyn. ``It is you, who will pay the price for doing so much evil, devouring the souls of innocents.”
”We will see,” he sneered and attacked her together with the giant snake. Kadyn didn't waste any more time and summoned others as well. Barret and Hot Rod and Khrom appeared beside him while Elora also appeared at his side. The group surrounded the beast and Jinn and the heated battle began.
Kadyn looked at his sister and smiled. ”Stay with me, strike at the right time, alright?”
