The Demon's Bride

Chapter 345: Brawling Brown In Furry-I

Ian came at the right time when Elise thought he would, she looked at him, finding no scratch but his sharp curling horns that were scaly and noting how his whites part of his eyes had turned pitch black while his eyes burn deeper in red that glowed, giving shades or oranges to his long black lashes.

"What happened?" She asked him, trying to understand the condition of their situation for now. "Who was it?"

"Gabriel was the real Gabriel from Heaven," Ian responded, discerning how the sentence hooked at his mind and let out a smirk, "Funny how he couldn't be much more creative by using other name." and Elise had to agree with it, as even though he appeared very much like a human, the name managed to linger in the back of their mind, causing him to be suspicious despite looking not very much different than others.

Elise felt his wings resting on the side of her left shoulder and pulled her closer toward him, "You did well holding it out. Now, are you the one who killed Frank?" Ian moved his gaze at the new guest who had dropped the facade. action

"It was a shame, I wanted to stay in White Mansion a little longer with his skin, if only we weren't caught in this," Colton clicked his tongue thrice, showing how he thought that it was a pity. "I would have a more grand reveal but this is fine, surprised aren't you? I was said to be the best when it comes to pretending like a human amongst all dark sorcerers."

"Hm," Ian then shifted his eyes at Elise. He concluded that there were around hundred or more ghouls surrounding them. While ghouls weren't very threatening to him it was different with the amount that came attacking them now. Ghouls were creatures that was born from a Demon's contempt and deep hatred before they depart from the world which why killing a Demon might be easy but cleaning after it was the hard part. The complicated part about ghouls were how to kill them. Ripping ghouls apart was easy as they were weaker than him but that won't be enough to kill them as they could regenerate. They needed a power that would stop the ghouls from healing themselves such as fire.

Another part to add to the problem was the dark sorcerer. He cannot leave Elise with the ghouls but he needed to fight the dark sorcerer.

While finding for a way, his eyes stopped at the tree that had been cauterized to ashes. Without the need to ask, Ian could tell it was his sweet Elise that had done it.

"I guess I should praise you?" Ian said to the dark sorcerer before tilting his head and leaned toward his right where Elise was and whispered, "I will leave you for a moment with the ghouls. Can I trust you with killing them? But make sure to be in a distance where I can protect you."

"I will be fine," Elise assured so Ian could leave without thinking of her and he responded with a sweet smile.

"Now where to begin?" Ian asked, moving his wings back to prepare to leave, "Staring by answering what are you planning perhaps?"

"I am not here to fight you, Milord. I am here merely to clean this place, if you consider it in a bright side, I am helping you to take care of this one," Colton who knew Barner was trying to leave stomped his feet to the man's back. "What do you say, Milord?"

"Well," Ian brought his index finger to lightly rub his nose, looking down and to Barner he appeared to be considering of the reply, "I don't mind anyone killing him, in fact I very much want to rip him to halves now, but I still need answer from him," and in the next second Ian tilted his head casually to the right, his brows than raised at the black crystal that came out from Colton's palm, forming into a cylinder spear. "That's not nice to do, you know."

"I'm sorry but rather than you I would like to fight Lady Elise, a beauty is much better than handsome," Colton pulled his grin, "I have never fought with a Demon, Milord so I am very anticipating to this fight."

"Oh, you will love it then. I have only lost once in my life and that was nine hundred years ago," Ian reached out his hand to hold the end of the black crystal, holding it for his gloves to sizzle and burn away but he didn't stop and continue gripping to the black crystal.

Colton was surprised and pulled back his palm before retrying what he did, this time by using his entire body weight yet nothing work to make Ian's hand to budge, "This is connected with your blood isn't it? What a petty trick," smiled Ian and he turn the crystal on his hand to shatters for blood to spill out from the place where the crystal was severed.

"You fucking monster," Colton cursed without attending to his wound, he continued the fight by using his other hand. Before the attack could be delivered, Ian used his palm to chop the dark sorcerer's hand, delaying him from using his ability.

Colton felt the bone of his entire arm tingle from the chop that could have broken his hand if he didn't healed it immediately. His eyes were still focusing in what was happening when Ian had reached out his hand toward the man's neck, ready to claw it open with his sharp nails and Colton managed to avoided it in a paper thin distance, causing his jaw to be wounded.

Ian looked at Colton who had took three jump back to create distance between them and smirked, "Don't run. We are only beginning this don't we." and he used he jumped once to corner Colton who then pulled a wider smile.

"My humble self is not running but trapping, milord. I have been wanting to see if whether a High Demon's blood is black as they said."

Ian narrowed his eyes before he could leave, he noticed that from the ground the same black crystal in a shape that was similar like icicles but wider and larger, ready to pierce him who was standing on top of the ground.
