《Devil in My Heart》Struggle
Advertisement
Two demons brought Ryan out of Tyrone's castle. They walked through the forest. Ryan saw their suspicions and asked, "How long are we going to walk?"
"Don't be spoiled," answered Lean.
"Can I sit down for a while, because I'm tired of wearing this dress and these uncomfortable shoes?"
" Okay," Leona said.
When I sat under a tree, I took out a dagger that I kept under my shoe. I immediately tried to cut the rope.
" Come on..."
A few moments later...
"Okay done. We do not want to linger here," said Lean.
I already made enough scratches so that the rope can be detached when the time is right. I thought they would take me out of the woods, but in fact, they took me to a steep cliff. There was the sound of big waves hitting the rocks and cliffs.
"Why was I brought here?" I spoke.
replied Leona, "It will be troublesome if you die leaving a corpse in our territory."
"Haven't I been told to leave by your master?"
Leona then slapped Ryan, " Stupid!!! Why did you have to come to this area? This is your consequence."
Actually, Leona has softened and has no desire to kill him. Ryan just stayed silent and felt helpless.
Leander explained, "Just being told to leave doesn't mean you can get out alive."
"No ... it cannot end like this, " I thought.
Then Lean took out his sword. The sound of the sword scraping was loud in my ears.
"Get ready. Hiyaaa!!" Lean shouted.
I kicked his wrist as hard as I could. Lean didn't think that I could fight back so he didn't notice me. The sword was thrown and fell to the ground.
"Damn on you!" Said Lean was furious.
Leona was taken aback. After that, I tried hard to take off the ties on my wrist, then I drew the other sword that was on Leander's waist and then draws towards his neck. Now the situation seemed to turn around, but it's not that easy.
"Release me. Otherwise, I will...."
Before I finished speaking, from my right side, I tried so hard to hold back her who was above me. Then I kicked her stomach to free myself. I was almost no strength to withstand her attack.

"Seeing his persistence, he is not an ordinary human," Leona said.
"But it would be a shame if we lost to the human," Lean spoke while picking up the sword that had fallen earlier. I was breathless and thought that their strength and numbers were superior to mine.
"Let's play swords," said Lean who smiled, "Let me fight. You see, we don't like gang up."
He quickly came over and I could only fend him off. "He's so strong and so fast to get me cornered," I thought.
My legs move backward, and finally, I was overwhelmed. " In my mind, "My right arm is already stiff. My breath becomes fast and irregular. It's hard for me to concentrate." Before I could think further and plan something, I gasped, "It's too bad he opened a gap."
Then with his right foot, he kicked my left shoulder until I fell to the ground and he stamped on my right wrist and stuck the sword on the left side of my face.
"Give up." He looked at my face. I talked to him to divert his attention.
"I don't fault with you all? Why do you act so far to follow the unreasonable orders of your lord?"
Lean was stunned by what Ryan said.
"Shut up!!!" Lean said.
Meanwhile, Leona is just a spectator watching us fight.
"It seems that what he said is true, they are not the gangster type. It's good. Only this one has already made me overwhelmed," I thought while I look at Leona.
At that moment, I drew a dagger which I took from inside my left shoe, and slashed at his right arm. I don't want to do this, but I had to so that he could release his stamp on my wrist.
Soon, I got up and pushed his neck with my right arm as hard as I could and grabbed his right shoulder. I screamed, " Hiyaaaaa!!!!" With all my strength to rotate his body to my right side, so made him fall and now I was on top of him. While my left hand holding the dagger and drew towards his neck to just threaten him, I was also pressing his neck with my right arm as I said, "Let go of me!!! I do not have any mistakes against you. And I also do not intend to hurt you."

"Sharp gaze and full of confidence," Lean thought. " Please kill me, otherwise I will kill you," he said.
"Stubborn." I thought. Then I replied, " No... There must be other options. "
"I'm sorry, if I don't kill you, then I'll be killed by the lord."
Then Lean unleashed his magic power. The ground he was lying on cracked inward. I was slammed and dragged backward. Dust gets into the eyes. I couldn't see clearly, but I stuck the dagger into the ground to stop the impact from the aura of his power. And finally, I stopped near the edge of the cliff.
Then Lean didn't hesitate to go forward to launch his attack on Ryan who was defenseless and exhausted.
In that crucial situation, Leander was knocked back by the attack but didn't fall.
The three of them were shocked at the appearance of this asura who was Lucien.
*****
"My lord... My lord..." said the guard.
"What do you make rush like that?" asked Lucien.
" Not good, Sir... Lord Tyrone is arresting a princess. The other asuras living there are talking about it. Incidentally, I was just out of there."
"You tell me this. So, what does relate to me?" asked Lucien who didn't care.
"Uhm... I'm just telling you, Sir. Well, I excuse myself."
Lucien didn't want to pay attention to it, but what the guard said kept ringing in his head.
"Argh!!!"
Then from the top of the balcony, with the push on his feet, he immediately flew out of his castle towards Tyrone's castle. On his way through the air, he muttered, "Even though I don't want to deal with that snake anymore, I can't let him do this."
When Leander unleashed his magic power, Lucien noticed and recognized the aura and then immediately headed for it. He also saw what was happening and immediately stopped the fight between them.

"Lucien...." Leona was surprised to see his presence. "Why are you here?" She asked.
"Then, what's going on here?" asked Lucien back.
"Hah... Lucien???" In my mind, "He is now in front of me!"
Lucien approached me who was kneeling helplessly. Then he took hold of my injured left arm.
Now it was Lucien's turn to be surprised to see me, "Ryan!!! Is that really you?"
I nodded while smiling with mixed emotions and was even more surprised because what stood in front of me was a creature that I met in the forest at that time on a full moon night.
"It turns out that he is Lucien..." I muttered inwardly.
Similarly, Lucien was touched by being able to meet me again. But on the other hand, Leona looked sad to see the two of them. Leander said, "Lucien, don't get in my way."
Seeing the injured Ryan, he clenched his fists and turned to look at Leander while saying, "What are you going to do?"
"I will kill him."
"So, you must against me first."
Leander paused for a moment and said, "Lucien, this is a command of a lord."
"I will refuse it."
They were taken aback to hear Lucien's words. Leander advanced against Lucien with claws that had been shrouded in his magical aura.
"Get ready Lucien!!!"
"Stop!!!" Leona said, but her screams were ignored by both.
Lucien nimbly dodged Leander's attack. The attacks after hitting Lucien made the ground tremble and crack. The rocks were crushed by Leander's strike. When Lean was about to hit him, Lucien parried it with his left arm and then returned to strike by pushing in the chest with his right palm so that Leander bounced far and crash into a tree.
Leona gasped. At first, she wanted to approach Lucien because of the position that was closer to him, but Leona stopped her intention when she saw Lucien walking slowly toward Ryan. Finally, she decided to see Lean.
I was stunned to see these two beings were fighting. But soon followed by a smile on my face because it was over. Then I slipped the dagger into the stockings. When I was about to stand up and walk towards Lucien who was far from me,
"Lucien!!!" I shouted.
Lucien was shocked, ran quickly, and immediately flew. But unfortunately, he did not see Ryan.
The stone rubble fell on his hands and forehead, causing wounds before finally Ryan plunged into the deep sea and he washed away by the strong waves.
