The Bored Immortal

Chapter 190 - Am I Going To Die?

Tara got up with an apologetic expression and said, "Please, Eli….I know this is my fault...but please let me stay with him and take responsibility. I will do everything in my power to help him."

Eli gritted her teeth and stormed towards Tara, who still stood her ground without backing away.

However, Eli clutched Tara's neck as she said coldly with her fangs slowly revealing, "You want to take responsibility? Hmph, if it weren't for the pack of lustful dogs from your tribe, this wouldn't have happened! Because of you, he got hurt!"

Tara's expression became pained not because Eli was clutching her neck but thinking about how Azu got injured because of her and didn't even try to free herself from Eli's grip.

"Eli...please…" Azu said in a feeble voice-hearing how heated up the situation was becoming between the two girls and didn't want them to fight.

Even though Azu's voice was very weak and low, Eli clearly heard him and immediately let go of Tara's neck since she didn't want to cause Azu any kind of distress.

"Eli, Azu is right. Don't fight. Instead, you two should help each other in a moment like this," Erina said with a sigh as she came inside and saw Eli and Tara.

Tara immediately gave a respectful bow towards Erina, and Erina nodded with a smile as if she was okay with Tara being here. Tara was relieved to see that Eli's grandmother was a very kind and generous vampire who was beyond the enmity between their races.

Eli's expression relaxed a bit, hearing her grandmother's words and looking at Tara's guilt-ridden expression, Eli felt that she went a bit overboard in her sadness and anger.

She knew Tara was innocent, and the real culprits were already killed by her.

So she said as she grabbed Tara's hand, "Fine...Let me ask you one thing first...You sure you don't have a cure or antidote for wolfsbane, considering how it is the most lethal poison for your race?"

Tara's expression became even more down as she shook her head, "Usually, even we can only do something if only a short time had passed after getting poisoned with wolfsbane. Besides, my tribe won't even let him in even if I begged them…"

Eli took in a deep breath, feeling that there was no choice but to follow the method her grandmother proposed.

Eli then walked towards the corner while pulling Tara along as if she wanted to ask something Azu wouldn't hear, "Then since you said you are willing to take responsibility and do anything to help him...would you really help me with something that could involve risking our lives? I am sure your power over flames could really come in handy."

Eli indeed needed help with what she was going to do, and since it involved breaking into the most secure and protected area of her own home, she thought that having Tara with her could increase her chances of success by a lot.

Tara, despite being a young princess of her tribe, was feared by even mature vampires in Eli's kingdom because Tara was the only person of the werewolf bloodline in tens of centuries to possess power over flames that could burn vampires to a crisp. But not only that, she was very powerful for her age and talented as well.

That was why Tara's status and reputation in her tribe were only below the chief, and even her clan's strength and reputation increased because of her.

Eli also had a similar status in her own kingdom, considering how she was the strongest in her age and talents beyond everyone else's expectations. Her power over the ice element was so profound and precise, it was said that her control over it was only second to her father, the king!

But her spiritual ability to control minds was considered more dangerous and frightening than her other abilities, while Tara's ability to cripple minds using fear was unprecedented, making her the most dangerous werewolf among the younger generation out of all werewolf tribes.

So these two girls were originally rivals from opposite sides, but the only reason they didn't fight or try to kill each other was because of a common factor...Azu.

Tara eagerly nodded as she said, "Yes! Please tell me...I am ready no matter what it takes."

Seeing how determined Tara was, Eli slightly smiled with an appreciative nod, "Good. Then follow me. We are leaving now."

Eli let go of Tara's hand and quickly kneeled on the floor as she kissed Azu's forehead and said with a soft smile while holding his hands, "Azu, we will be back soon. Please hold on."

Tara looked at the two from behind with a complicated expression and wanted to say something to Azu as well but felt that she didn't have the right to till she fixed things.

She felt a sharp stinging sensation in her chest, seeing how close they were but stifled that feeling like always since she didn't want to act on her intense emotions.

Eli then immediately got up and let go of Azu's hands, who weakly tried to stop her, "Eli...wait…"

But Eli grimaced as she came out of the pavilion while Tara looked at Azu and inwardly prayed for nothing bad to happen to him till they returned.

"No...don't go…" Azu wanted to stop them, knowing that they were planning to do something dangerous but could only helplessly watch as the two ran out.

"They left, Azu. Have faith in them...Those two care very much about you...You are lucky to have those two as your friends," Erina said as she sat beside him and tried to keep his fever in control.

"Lucky indeed…" Viktor said with a shake of his head though he could feel the same worry and concern Azu was feeling for the two girls. Viktor realized that the more he was watching all this, the more he was getting immersed in this boy's world.

He couldn't even remember what he was doing before all this, especially the fact that he was about to get killed by Bamir.

But as minutes passed, Azu's condition began to get worse, and his consciousness continued to get dull till everything went dark for him and his thoughts ceased, making Viktor feel like he was stuck in an empty void.

"Am I going to die?" Before Viktor realized it, he was already considering himself to be Azu.
