Chapter 147 - 136 (1/2)
I lick my nose as the wind hits my face and brushes against my fur, ready to jump out in pursuit when I feel someone jumping up and landing on my back, and as I hide a small smile I look back only to see Leonel ready to jump into action with me, the sweat glistening against his skin has his hair moves with the wind, looking strong and beyond s.e.xy as he joins forces with me.
We lock eyes for a moment, no mockery, no hesitation, only determination glinting in our eyes as we nood to each other.
Then I jump out, leaping over trees and my own Fire Shield with one single leap from my enormous form, a white skull taking form over the darkness of the night.
Gripping at my fur and steadying himself on my back Leonel, with a sword in hand, keeps a watchful gaze at the sky.
”There.” He says as my huge paws touch the floor and I look over the trees, hearing the beating of wings and fl.u.s.tering of clothes on the wind from the blood angel up above and seeing a white dot in the distance.
”He is about to open another one! Get us closer now!” I hear Leonel say, and without question I answer by quickly bending my hind legs and jumping up in the air, the moon framing us from behind as we surprise the Demon Lord who, with his sword at hand, does not react fast enough to dodge when Leonel uses his chains to coil around the sharp blade and pull it out of his hand forcibly.
”You!” The demon says, but Leonel doesn't waste his time and throws the weapon far away, and I use the opportunity to attack the Demon King as well, however without the surprise element this time he dodges to the side so I only scrap his right-wing, which is enough to at least bring him down with us.
Dust comes up when we land on a part of greenery on the side of the elves building that still burns bright in the night, but only because of my protective Fire Shield gave the illusion that the building itself is on fire.
”Give up Cain! Stop this madness at once!”
”Madness?! You think my mad? No, no, I've never had a clearer mind then now! But my words do not reach you it seems, not with this 'you' from now, so I won't waste them anymore. Is that saying, right? Do not waste a good seed in a poor soil… so let's enrich that mind of yours, shall we?” I don't like the way he is sounding, like he already won, as if we are no threat against him at all.
”After all… is about time for my special attack to start working on you after all…” He says, and I only have time to frown at his words when, almost as if my body is played around by strings attached to his fingertips, a sensation starts crawling from inside, a tingling that goes up my neck and behind my eyes, making me close my eyelids, reaching my brain and putting pressure similar to a hand closing in on it when I hear Leonel's worried voice fading away as I try to resist and throw my head back, but the effect of such attack is almost like it turns my muscles into steel, and my mind seems to detach from my own body as it gets harder and harder to move.
”Ah, ah, silly hound, preposterous elf, did you really think that I had only one way to take over other's mind? Such a blunt weakness, have to look someone in the eye… but is funny how, letting that weakness out in the open, made you lower your guard down just like the rest…” He nods sideways, and with a victorious smile says:
”Is in my blood, you see, the very on that I use to attack and the very one you dashed head first to protect your elf lover from… so silly, just what I wanted, an easy way in, and those wounds I made on you were the perfect entryway, pity that it takes some time to settle in, especially so far away from the head, but fear not, there was nothing you could have done, is destiny that, tonight, you would be mine.” I start shaking against his attack, but I can do nothing against the increasing detachment effect that his blood working in my insides and mind has.
”Now is time, little hound, for your mind to take a nap.” At the snap of his fingers his dormant blood attacks all at once and, as I start to pass out, my eyes being overwhelmed by a voidless black crawling from the sides and taking over my vision, my mind goes blank and sunk into nothingness.
There is no resistance, no reaction, just as no matter how much you wish to be cured from a disease you still get sick.
Is beyond my control, is physical, is magic, and is already inside me.
