Chapter 274: Chapter 274. The Perfect Enemy Attractor
Witnessing the demonic Velvet dissipating before him, Alban swiftly raised his battle axe, assuming a defensive position while surveying his surroundings.
"Brat, I will definitely kick your ass once we are done with your wife. Didn't anyone tell you that in serious situations, you shouldn't speak too much? Now, why are you staring at my face? Quickly get into defence because of your provocation now your wife is so angry that she vows to make us weep tears of blood."
Myne blinked innocently, "But I only spoke the truth; she was indeed walking so slowly. Is there anything to be angry about? And yes, someone has told me this thing many times... Huh? Someone did that? But who?..." The memory slipped away like smoke, leaving a phantom echo in its wake.
"Watch out!"
Myne, who had once again fallen into deep thought, suddenly remembered another mysterious fragment of memory and was about to rub his forehead to concentrate when Alban's warning echoed in his ear.
Before Myne could comprehend what was happening, a brutal hand clamped onto the back of his head, the cold grip of iron tearing him backwards. The world spun as his skull slammed into the hard-packed earth, spidering cracks mirroring the pain lancing through him. The assault didn't cease.
The unseen assailant's arm tightened, grinding his face against the unforgiving ground as they dragged him like a ragdoll, leaving a bloody trail that stretched for nearly two hundred meters away from the spot where he stood with Alban.
Thanks to Myne's cowardly nature, as soon as Demonic Velvet disappeared from his sight, he immediately cast his second overpowering cheat-like defensive skill, Absolute Evasion, which rendered all physical attacks ineffective.
The skill created an invisible layer-like shield on his skin, absorbing any kind of physical attack and preventing him from suffering even a single bit for the next 30 seconds.
Though Demonic Velvet unleashed a hellish onslaught, aiming to pulverize him and Alban to eat earth, Myne remained unscathed, albeit his vision was blocked.
"Demonic Velvet didn't hold back a bit to make him and Alban eat dirt, but I'm clearly fine, except for
On the other hand, it was Alban who was suffering the most. Myne could clearly hear his painful screams, which lasted only a few seconds before they abruptly stopped. Myne suddenly felt as if they were being lifted from the ground by their heads.
He hardly had time to open his eyes and to see the world begin spinning like a wheel, and found himself rocketing towards the empty haunted house to the west of Alban's hideout.
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
Two bone-jarring explosions echoed as their bodies crashed into the empty houses, creating a cacophony of noise. If Myne and Alban had possessed the luxury of coherent thought, they would have surely noticed that after Velvet turned demonic, all the undead around them had vanished completely, as if leaving the stage only for her to perform.
"F*cking hell!" Myne spat, struggling to extricate himself from the rubble. "How is she so damn strong? She's half-dead from wounds she carries on her body! Shouldn't she be passed out from blood loss by now? This doesn't make any sense," He grumbled, dislodging a heavy stone from his shoulder.
Right at that moment, his second cheat defensive skill also came to an end. Now, Myne finally had to taste the pain of a super beating by Demonic Velvet if he didn't stay carefree and play his next move thoughtfully.
Rising from the debris of the ruined house, he cautiously peeked through a window, bracing himself for the inevitable. Unfortunately, due to his bad luck, Demonic Velvet seemed more interested in him than the old guy, Alban. She glided effortlessly through the air, a cruel smile twisted on her otherworldly scary face.
"Fck! Fck! Why is she coming toward me? Shoo, go away! Don't come near me. I was just joking at that time.
Is there any need to take it so seriously?" Myne dared not to speak out and prayed that Demonic Velvet wouldn't notice him, screaming in his mind.
He looked around, hoping to find a way to escape, but as if lady luck had literally put him on her block list, the house in which he had fallen was actually a small single-story house with only two entrances – one from the main door and the second from the roof, which he had created a minute ago, as for window it was facing at Demonic Velvet the moment he gets out from it, he is done for.
"SKREEEEEE KHE-ah-sha Vuh-roth Ah SKREEEEEE KHE-ah-sha Vuh-roth Ah DEEEEEEEM SKREEEEEE KHE-ah-sha Vuh-roth Ah DEE-EE-EE-EEE"
"Now, what the hell was she speaking in this creepy language? Didn't she find out yet that I couldn't understand it? Damn it, but the way she is laughing, she is definitely mocking me. Now, where is my translator?"
Myne, who felt all the hair on his body stand up, joked slightly to calm down his heart, which was beating like a drum.
Boom!
Another loud explosion reverberated, nearly causing Myne's soul to escape his body. He feared that Demonic Velvet had once again approached him. However, as seconds passed without any pain, he cautiously opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings, finding no trace of the malevolent presence.
Myne hurriedly peeked outside, only to discover his translator—Alban—engulfed in dark flames from head to toe. Alban leapt out from the house he had crashed into, delivering a powerful punch to the airborne Demonic Velvet, sending her far away to sightsee the other side of town.
"Cool, although this old pervert's character and actions are questionable, at least during battle, especially when drawing enemy aggro, he proves quite reliable. Now, while they're occupied in battle, I could make my way to the cabin and wait until they settle this matter themselves.
Anyway, judging by the way the Old Geezer breathing, he seems to have taken this matter personally," Myne thought with an excited smile.
"You vile fiend! How dare you touch my handsome face? I will cut you in two! Come back now; don't tell me you'll start crying like a bitch from a single punch, you snivelling coward! If you've drunk your mother's milk, then come and face me like a real warrior!"
"The fact has proven that Alban really has a special ability to attract other people's hate with his mouth, and in some cases, his face alone is enough. As soon as he finished provoking Demonic Velvet after punching her, she, like a cannonball, flew at him."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Alban, prepared for a bone-breaking battle, laughed excitedly, raising his axe and aiming it at Demonic Velvet. He swung, creating a dark flaming half-moon blade hurtling towards her at high speed, anticipating a significant injury if she collided head-on with his attack.
However, Demonic Velvet, with no regard for common sense, was in no mood to play by the rules. With a nonchalant flick of her wrist, she swatted the fiery blade aside as if it were a pesky fly, before Alban could blink she appeared in front of him and seized his neck.
"Hahaha, you shouldn't touch me, you damn bitch. This is not any ordinary flame; these are hellfire. Once burned by it, there is no recovering from it." Alban, seemingly unfazed by the danger, continued mocking Demonic Velvet despite her holding his neck, knowing she could easily send him to his fiery hellfire birthplace with a slight bit of effort.
Demonic Velvet, hearing Alban's confident nonsense, looked curiously at the hand covered in black flame. In just a short time span, it had burned so badly that bones were visible beneath her burnt skin. However, she seemed to feel nothing, even with the miserable condition her body was in. She suddenly smiled, the expression looking extremely creepy on her skinless face.
"Khe-ah-sha Vuh-roth Ah SKREEEEEE KHE-ah-sha SKREEEEEE Vuh-roth Ah DEEEEEEEM FIREEEEEE."
"Huh? What do you mean you haven't bathed in it for years and missing it?"
Alban, who understood the demonic language Velvet was speaking, had a grim expression as he heard her words. Instead of a reply, he received a super strong punch to his face.
"Vruh-frah-th," Demonic Velvet whispered with a harsh tone after smashing Alban into houses again.
This time, it didn't end as easily as before. Alban had successfully managed to anger Demonic Velvet. After giving a not-so-friendly command that Myne couldn't decipher, she flew toward him.
The only sounds were a loud explosion and Alban's ear-piercing scream, which shook anyone's soul who heard it in the middle of the night reached to Myne, hiding in the house, who couldn't help but shudder at the intensity of the encounter.
"I better get back to the cabin as soon as possible; I don't have the thick skin of the Old Geezer, who, after getting so much beating, still dares to mock that thing," Myne muttered to himself.
After making up his mind, he activated skills such as Swift Feet, Leg Strength Enhancement, Physical Strength Enhancement, Rock Skin, Iron Wall, Power, Physics Rise, Strength Rise, and started running toward the cabin as if his life were on the line, which it if he got caught by a certain demonic girl.
"Boom!"
"F*ck, please hold on a few more minutes, old geezer. Before dying, at least do one good deed. I'm about to reach the cabin. Damn it, why did the bitch throw me so far away? She's definitely worried that someone might get into the cabin and escape from her, so the first thing she did was throw us away from the cabin. F*ck, why are today's ghosts so smart?"
Myne complained and sweated buckets as he ran toward the cabin. With each loud explosion, his heartbeat speedily as if the person who created the explosion with his body would be him the next second. However, the fear Myne had didn't become a reality, and until the small cabin came into his sight, he was perfectly fine.
"Hoo, seems like Lady Luck hasn't completely turned her back on me. At least she didn't block me like the Old Geezer, who was receiving full care from Demonic Velvet, which he was trying to get from the beginning after he met us." Myne, as he reached near the cabin, finally breathed a sigh of relief and joked a bit to lighten up his tense mood.
"My dear Master, where do you think you are going in such a hurry? How could you leave your little kitty alone outside with that old man? What if he took advantage of your absence and did something bad with your little kitty?"
