Love Agreement With The King

Chapter 216 - [Bonus ]talking About Us?

Roselyn seeing her efforts were invain scoffed folding her arms, "where are you going?" she asked, curving her eyebrows.

"I am going to talk to Ethan," he said as he stood up and took few steps reaching the door, "about the demon which attacked up." He whispered, as he didn't want to be heard from the other women who worked there.

"Don't talk about that to anyone, by the way." John warned her and when Roselyn nodded he hinted a smile before opening the door and closing it right away disappearing in a second. Roselyn's worry showed up as soon as he left the house, what if other snakes or demons or whatever those creatures were attack him again? Roselyn took a deep breath, her guts was suggesting her to follow him but after the last time she listened to her guts and how things turned she won't listen to her instints now but only to her rationality.

Ethan was standing in the wood right before the castle, fighting against a huge snake. The snake's tail gripped as it wrapped his neck and Ethan bent his chin down to bite the snake's body, his long fangs penetrated inside the skin snake so much that Ethan drunk his poison to and had to split to get away every trace. The snake released his grip allowing Ethan to grab its long body by gripping around the snake's neck with one hand and with his other hand gripped his tail and then crushing it against a rock breaking the snike's neck.

The demon despite the excrutianing pain managed to jump opening his huge mouth, but right before it sunk in Ethan's neck he catched its mouth and slammed it close, before recrashing the snake against the stone.

The snake lost his sensed for few seconds having Ethan get advance of its distraction to rip his neck off and tear its head with a quick movement. From the snake's ripped body escaped a yellow sustance that as soon as it came in contact with the underlying glass it liquefied.

Ethan speeded backwards not to be hit by that weird substance.

"What in heaven's name is that thing?" John said, and Ethan turned around to shrug as he let the snake's head fell onto the ground and bounce over like a volleyball.

"Another snake attacked me and Roselyn last night too." John said walking closer to the yellowish liquid and leaning closer to smell it.

The usual smell of demons and death he could easily recognize as he had to fight against few demons in his life.

"Do you think it's a coincidence?" Ethan asked, but John shook his head no.

"Nothing is a coincidence. Someone freed them." John cupped his chin and narrowed his eyes.

"Maybe someone from Kratez that heard about Roselyn's secret nature." Ethan tried another attempt as he gazed at his scratches on his arm there were very slowly healing.

"If they reach the village humans will find out about the existence of a supernatural world." Ethan continued and John took a deep breath. That's something he already thought about during the sleepless night he spent.

"We have to kill them before they enter in the village or in Kratez." John replied right away as his gaze was set on the substance the snake's body emanated that now was slowly dissolving in the air.

"We won't stop them." Ethan shook his head, "we don't even know how many are there and where they are."

John growled and flinched around when two snakes ran toward them and halted right in front of them, "talking about us?" one of them said, revieling his long tail. The other one sniffed the left liquid of the last snake.

"Who got you free?" John growled at them as his voice thundered.

But the demons ignored John's question and c toward them, "Ethan, what happened to you?" the one who had his gaze set on the yellow poison lifted his head only to gaze at Ethan.

"You were such a leader, evil and brutal and now look at you. Killing someone of your own specie." The snake said as his eyes flashened with anger.

"Your own specie?" John murmured puzzled and Ethan growled, "shut up!" he yelled charging as if he wanted to attack both the snakes alone.

John charged too targetting the snake on the right. "You take care of left one." John whispered to Ethan who seemed blinded by anger as he already charged toward both of the snakes and John widened his eyes when the snake trew themselves against Ethan biting with their huge mouth over his shoulders.

John punched against the earth provoking a earthquake and then he speeded toward the snakes who had to release their bite to dodge John's attack.

Ethan screamed in pain, but the pain only feeded the fire inside his soul. As he recalled his past and he remembered things he didn't want to remember. He spotted one of the two snake rushing toward John and trying to attack him while he was busy fighing against the other one.

"John," Ethan screamed before he charged and punched the snake John had behind but the snake's tail managed to whip over Ethan's shoulder throwing him over the ground.

John laid over Ethan's body as if he was a shield to protect him from another attack, then turned around and scratched a snake's face blinding him. The other one targetted Ethan's leg but John predicted his attack and kicked the snake's head making the demon bounce down.

When John stood up Ethan growled, blood coming out both his shoulders but he had no intention of giving up, "left one is mine." He said. John nodded attacking the right one, he grabbed the snake by its neck and then wrapped his own body knitting over his throat, then trew it against the floor and jumped on it with all its weight leaving the demon inconscious.

He caught his breath gazing at the snake dying as he bit himself and the same smell of putrefaction filled the room, John turned around to see Ethan knocking down the second snake and biting his tail and then ripping it open.. The yellow liquit cascaded as a fountain and Ethan had to speed backwards throwing the snake away.
