Chapter 231 - Serenas Bravery (2/2)

Confused, she slowly turned her head around to see what had happened, and there he was, standing right behind her with a smile on his face. He held on to his scythe and the handle which pierced her.

She grabbed on to the handle and tried to pull it out of her but couldn't. He was holding on to it tightly.

”Argh...”

She held in the d.e.s.i.r.e to scream as she glared at him. All she needed to do was get away and heal herself, she still had a chance.

The man moved the spike around, causing both the pain and need to scream increase. But Serena simply gritted her teeth as her butterflies suddenly charged at him.

As one of the landed on him, he quickly pulled the spear out before disappearing again.

As this happened, despite healing the wound, her vision became hazy and her head began to spin.

”The scythe drains your life force and has a fast-acting poison, there's another girl so I have no use for you. Go to sleep and never wake up”

Serena who heard this slowly shook her head as a golden flame was formed over her wound, before it began slowly closing it.

She then fell over to the floor, her heart beat getting slower and slower.

As she laid on the floor, she continued to take deep breaths while stretching out her arm to the group.

”J...ohn...” She called out to him

Her eyelids grew heavier and her breaths became more and more shallow.

”I...”

As the boy swung his scythe down to finish her off, a bright glow came from there area where she was pierced.

It shined brightly throughout the room, causing both the boy and the shadow to move away from the area.

”What?!”

After around a minute, the light disappeared, and what remained shocked the young boy

”This... Hahaha... Looks like we ended up finding something of equal value after all...” He muttered

He raised his hands and everyone watched with confusion as he said

”We're retreating.”

John slowly opened his eyes, feeling the cold breeze on his shoulders.

As he got up, he found himself on someone's back. It was soft and warm.

”Hey, master...” John muttered

Master remained quiet as she nodded.

”Hey... Master... Where is, everyone...? And Where is serena?” John asked

Master Sylvia suddenly stopped walking as she said

”I don't know.”

”What?”
