The Demon's Bride

Chapter 256: Bye Bye-I



Chapter 256: Bye Bye-I

Elise's clear blue eyes glittered when she saw how close Ian's red gaze was to hers. She never felt more relieved then she was now, seeing Ian had come to her rescue. There was slight tears on her eyes that came from both surprise and overwhelming feeling of fear which she managed to kept down entire time. But one look at Ian made all emotions in her break like a dam.

Ian's black wings moved from the front as it smack away the dangerous weapon Angelica threw toward them when she saw him before it continued to stayed in a circling form to protect them both.

Elise felt Ian holding her close to his arms, "Are you alright?" he asked, pulling his face a little away from her to look up and down as Elise nodded her head. There was no blood on her although Ian noticed the ashes that had clouded her cheeks and her dress. He noticed this ash was the same ash when a body was combusted, but he didn't ask it first as it didn't bothered much to him. It was more important to Ian that Elise was safe and uninjured. Fortunately there was no sound or scratches on her and he had came at the right time.

Ian's hand moved went to wipe the dusts on her cheeks and neck, "What is happening in the village?" she questioned, there was worry but more than that was surprise and happiness at his timely arrival.

"It took me a little more time than I planned to find the person controlling the beasts. Everything is under control now with the humans, I defeated the dark sorcerers and made sure he received a death befitting for what they did in your presence. I made it so that even in Hell the punishment would be taken more hellish for him," he said, making sure each of his words were filled with a controlled anger which she could feel and somewhere relate to.

Not far from the place where Elise and Ian were at, a head of a dark sorcerers was pierced to the blade of a spear which was then hanged on the ceiling of the tallest house in the village as a reminder for the the rest of the dark sorcerers that managed to run away with grave wounds on them.

"No you are not late, thank you," Elise wanted to explain more of what took place and how she met the Relics but then she saw Ian's feather falling to her hand, it seemed to have shed as her aunt continue to attack them. "My aunt come back alive."

"I can see that," Ian pushed away the weapons Angelica threw to him, deflecting the sharp blades to face Angelica. It seemed with the horn appearing from her head, her power grew stronger and before the blades could touch her, another set of blades struck the ones Ian threw, bouncing them to the ground. "Did anything else happen while you were in the basement?"

Elise nodded her head promptly, "My aunt was the one who stole the coffins there were many of them under the basement and there were also magic circle but before I could leave, I met Relics. Like what Sullivan told us, they wanted my power."

Ian's eyes narrowed, his expression twist in anger, "Did they do anything to you?" he peered his eyes all over her, she was fine and when Elise shook her head, he asked, "Where did they go?"

"I-I don't know about that, by the time I wake up I was here." Elise tried to remember but somewhere her memory flashed and disappeared. Which mean something happened that Elise didn't know, thought Ian. "Hallow was with me," and Elise looked around behind her leg to find no one.

"We can speak about him later," Ian noted that he smelled some scent of Demons from Elise apart from the Chick's scent, knowing who it was. He decided to push the matter aside for now. His face then turned to Angelica, "It doesn't seem very welcoming greeting coming from you even when you are back alive," commented Ian. He then turned his eyes at Elise who frowned. "Horns," he said and she caught his words clear.

"She is a corrupted angel," answered Elise and Ian nodded coolly as if he knew it right after taking a glance from her aunt.

"Still hugging even when there is someone here, I see no one have ever taught you two manners," Angelica said with her hands both raised to the air. Elise noted that after the appearance of horns on her aunt's head, the power she kept unleashed and had gotten stronger compared to the time they fought inside the house. Everything in the presence of her aunt turn to weapons, the lying rocks and branches of tree looked sharper that it could compete with blades thrown earlier.

Ian chuckled at her words, the corrupted angel's expression twisted further in fury with more time Ian spend his talk with a condensed ding smile. "You have a rather good eye Angelica. I don't have mother to teach my manners, and my father would rather curl up in a ball and die than studying manner which why he can't seem to hold his dick with his right hand and sleep everywhere. I taught myself to show my love to my beloved even if my heart was dug out. Or would you like to teach this young man manner, old hag?"

"Is that so? Then I should take plenty of time to have fun and teach you it," Angelica licked her lips, wondering which she would torture first between the Demon and her niece.

"You hide well, auntie for no one to ever suspect you even while I was living under your roof. I thought Angels would hunt for you as they did to any other corrupted angels out there." But her aunt always manage to hide herself, and she questioned how. At that time she remembered Blythe wasn't hunted by the Angels either when it was one form of their punishment.

"We had to clip our horns, not the best method but the most effective one. That was what happened. Judging by your words, you are not an angel, are you? If you are you should have known about a corrupted angel's horns long before this."

"I never said I was one or acknowledged it. Why did you do it? You already have enough power as a corrupted angel, and you have a longer lifespan than normal. Why do you have to turn as a dark sorceress?" It didn't make sense to Elise of what her aunt wanted more than being a corrupted angel which should have been more than enough. "Do you want to go to Heaven?"

"Why would I go to some shitty place like Heaven? Isn't there more power in the mortal's world than what I have now? This is barely enough. I might have a longer lifespan but I want more! I needed an immortal life— a life where I wouldn't die and live forever!"

"That is her greed talking don't heed too much to her words or it would only contaminate your ears, Elise. All people who is obsessed by their greed is nothing less than her." Ian said, his wings didn't stopped to protect them from the sneaky attack Angelica did by throwing a blade from behind them when they were talking. Seeing her attack failed, Angelica twisted her expression and at that moment Ian who noticed something from the corrupted angel twisted his smile further.
