Chapter 225 - Blame (1/2)
I sigh in irritation as I say ”Taking care of a serious problem with this woman's help.” The old man bristles and says ”I was on the way to handle the monsters myself! We don't need help from outsiders! You can clearly tell she isn't from our world.”
My brain literally can't deal with this man and the things he says... ”I guess the saying 'You can't argue with stupid' applies to people like you. I finally understand this on a personal level.” I say staring at the old man with a look of disapproval.
Eris snorts in laughter and quickly covers it up as the old man's face turns beet red from anger. Eris steps up and says ”My name is Eris and I am the one who originally sealed these beasts so they called me to seal them away again.”
The old man openly sneers at Eris and says ”Well you obviously didn't do a good job the first time or they wouldn't have been able to get out.” Eris smiles at the old man but it's terrifying. I step up next to Eris and say ”This has nothing to do with Eris. If she wasn't here, we would have all died.”
The old man turns to look at me before looking between Eris and I with disgust, saying ”You two even look similar. Is everyone from your world this messed up?” My mouth literally falls open with shock as Eris chuckles.
Eris suddenly looks down to the ground and rocks on her heels before looking back up to the old man and saying ”You should really learn how to take a helping hand instead of biting it like a dog. Also, you should reeeeeally learn how to treat a lady.”
Her eyes glow that eerie color again, making the old man step back a little as she says 'Maledictus eris' Her voice echos around us with those two words making us all a little uneasy but when the old man starts coughing, we all look over to see him cough up worms.
I gag and cringe as the old man looks back to Eris with true fear ”Witch! You're an evil witch!!” Eris continues to smile at him as she says ”I tried the nice way but you continued to be a dɨċk.” She shrugs her shoulders and says ”It was either this or I kill you. I figured I should show a little mercy to idiots.”
The old man coughs up more worms making me shiver with fear. Bolin and Xia both step back and look at the old man in fear. The old man stumbles back before lifting his golden staff towards Eris. With a shaky voice, he says ”I will kill you!!”
Bai Lei and I step up to protect Eris but she just shakes her head at us as the old man tries to send an attack but nothing happens. He tries again and again but when nothing happens, he coughs up more worms before passing out with anger and shock.
This time, Bolin and Xia don't bother catching him as he hits the hard ground. Eris lifts her hand and swipes it over the old man saying ”He'll be fine. I just wanted to teach him a lesson.” She then looks up to Bolin and Xia and says ”Hello, my name is Eris.”
Bolin nervously clears his throat as he says ”B...Bolin. Nice to meet you.” Eris beams at him with a large smile and turns to look at Xia. Xia licks her lips and looks over to the old man one last time before saying ”Xia”
Eris gives her a knowing smile and tilts her head to the side. Eris takes a step closer to Xia, causing Xia to nervously step back. Eris takes a deep breath and says ”You smell like blood and dark intentions... who are you sleeping with?”
Everyone, including myself, look at the two in shock. Why is she asking her that? Xia's face turns pale as she stumbles back and says ”I I I... I'm a clean vɨrġɨn!! How dare you accuse me of sleeping with someone!”
Eris looks at her in surprise before turning to look at me with confusion. I awkwardly shrug my shoulders, not really knowing what to say or what she wants. Eris begins slowly walking around Xia as she says ”I don't care if you're a vɨrġɨn or not... I want to know why you're covered in so much evil and darkness... I thought maybe someone was trying to hurt you but you seem to... enjoy it.”
