Chapter 231 - Serenas Bravery (1/2)

Deep down, without her even realising it, she was still hoping that John could wake up and help her fight, even if he never acted like it. He was very smart, he would have definitely known what to do. Or so she thought

But just as she thought that, she smacked her face with both hands before saying.

”No... I said I'd protect you, and so I will... Just like you protected us.” She muttered as she kept her eyes on the boy.

Pointy ears, long smooth black hair, pitch-black pupils with a calm emotionless gaze over them.

With each step and movement that the boy made, darkness could be felt as it was left behind.

It was the same feeling Serena would occasionally get from master Sylvia, only much worse.

As serena was about to get in the position for the next trap, she realised something.

Her legs weren't moving, not only that, but her entire body. Was it because she was scared? They were shaking but it wasn't something which she wasn't used to.

As she got a closer look on her shadow, she noticed that it was standing on another shadow.

It wasn't just any shadow, the room still had light in it, so it didn't make sense for there to have been a shadow

Confused, Serena looked around before her eyes widened.

”W-What...?” She let out in confusion as she stared straight at the boy.

His shadow was the shadow which covered the whole room.

”So you've realised...” He whispered as he suddenly appeared right next to her.

Serena felt a chill go down her spine as she quickly leapt away from him. As she did so, she glanced around and noticed that everyone else was also frozen in place.

”You can move?” He asked as he catched her

As he placed his arm around her to keep a hold on her, Serena engulfed her body in golden flames, causing him to quickly let go.

In that instant, Serena formed a small golden orb above her, before propelling it straight at the person behind her.

However before it hit him, he disappeared.

Serena turned before looking around. She couldn't find him anywhere.

She stared at the ground and move her leg around before figuring something out.

”I see... So that's how you can move... Either way, it doesn't matter. This fight is already over.”

Ignoring what he said, Serena quickly looked around, trying to see if she could pinpoint the area where the voice was coming from.

As she did so, the butterflies reached and surrounded her. Her control over them wasn't strong but it was high enough.

”Go...” She whispered

Half left while the other half stayed. They went straight to the area where the voice had come from.

She calmly waited and the instant she got a reaction, she quickly turned with a golden orb and arrows formed above her hand.

When she propelled them, she noticed that there was no one behind her

”Wha-”

Serena's eyes widened as she felt a spear pass right through her stomach.

As she looked down, she could see drops of blood begin to flow out a fall a small pool on the floor.
