Chapter 33: Chapter 33 : Help Me...!?

Das felt anguished after seeing that woman struggling to save her baby. But what can he do? He is no match for anyone in that mob. A single punch from anyone in that mob is enough to take his fragile life.

Slowly, the mob surrounded her completely and started relentlessly attacking her from all sides. As a last measure, she held the bow in front of her chest to protect the baby. As she was backing down, more punches landed on her back.

She was bleeding profusely from several parts of her body. Her pure white dress was completely turned into a red colour cloth. In the pale moonlight, she looked like a helpless angel falling under the continuous assault of heartless people.

Das was closely observing everything with his bloodshot eyes. Suddenly, one of the strong men from the mob focused his punch towards the baby on her chest. The blood-stained lady immediately sat in a warrior pose and attacked every one with the bow in a three-sixty-degree turn. She performed the entire attack like an experienced fighter.

Right away, she gained a long distance from the mob and killed three people by pulling the bow string like a skilled archer. She was battling for more than half an hour without a moment of relief... slowly the mob's number also decreased to five members.

There was not much energy left in her body, as she was limping due to a big dagger wound in her right-side leg.

The remaining five men formed a formation, with the four of them covering her from all sides with bear fists and one strong man was standing outside the formation with a dagger in hand. The dagger in the strong man's hands is shining, with a blue colour coating on the edge of the blade.

"Haha... Laner, you are not going to survive tonight. The young master personally prepared this poison for you. Do you know where this poison comes from?..."

"Hahaha... It is from the legendary Farus family. In all these years, not a single person has survived this poison. Haha..." the strong man who stood outside the formation laughed with an evil glint.

Even after listening to his blatant threat, she stood there without showing any fear. From her brave stance, Das can see that she is not afraid of losing her life. She is only fighting for the survival of that baby on her chest.

The strong man gave the signal to attack, and the four men who were surrounding her, immediately pounced on her. The woman immediately released one straight arrow to kill the right-side man, and she quickly rolled to the front like a ninja and released another arrow in sitting position.

After killing two people quickly, she blocked one man with the bow in her left hand and gave a strong punch to the remaining one. The strong man who stood outside the formation waiting for this opportunity.

He sacrificed these four subordinates to create a weak spot in her defence. He immediately use this chance to release the poisonous dagger towards her chest, and the dagger pierced her chest in a flash.

Das, who stood a long distance away from them, also heard the noise of the that dagger piercing her chest like a tofu. The old man started laughing madly after making that strike.

The woman instantly released an arrow straight to his heart and killed the remaining subordinate with a swing of her sharp bow end. The strong man did not try to dodge her arrow, as he was already prepared to die after achieving his goal.

After killing everyone, the lady immediately released the baby on her chest. Even though the dagger pierced her chest completely, it did not penetrate any vital parts of the baby. The dagger only made a small cut on the forehand of that small baby. While looking into the baby's eyes, the lady gave a small, pitiful laugh.

Das can see how much she cares about the baby. Even when she was completely covered in wounds and a poisonous dagger punctured her chest, she smiled towards the baby, forgetting about all these things.

Das, who was observing all this, went into a dilemma. He can't decide whether to show up and help that lady or leave this place silently without making any noise. But God did not give him a chance to decide on that. Because suddenly his mobile started vibrating with loud noise in the dead silent forest area.

In an instant, the lady pulled the bow string in the direction of a bush where Das was secretly hiding.

"Wait!!!..."

Das immediately cried out in a loud voice. He knows what will happen if he responds a millisecond later.

"Who are you?..." The lady asked while still targeting him with the bow.

"Wait. I will explain... I'm not related to those mobs. I'm just a normal person." Das said in a hurried voice with little nervousness on his face.

"What are you doing here?..." She asked again with a threatening tone.

"Miss, don't misunderstand. I just came here to visit my parent's tomb. After listening to this commotion, I came here to check on the situation. I'm not at all related to this incident." Das explained everything in haste.

The women observed his every move carefully. One single wrong move was enough to end his life on the spot.

"What is your name?..." She asked back.

"Das, Mohan Das is my first name. I'm just a student at Mumbai City College. Das said while showing his empty hands, which are in a raised position in the air."

After hearing his complete explanation, she released the arrow, which was passed from above his head. Das felt a chill behind his back after listening to the sound of the flashing arrow.

The lady slowly turned her focus back towards the baby's face. She was caressing the baby's face with affection. Das stood there awkwardly as the lady was completely immersed in the world of that small baby. Finally he decided to offer some help for the blood soaked women.

"Miss, should I take you to the hospital?..." Das asked slowly with a nervous tone.

"There is no use... the poison has already entered my body, and there is no medicine to treat this poison."

"Finally, I'm paying for my sins by dying with the same Farus family poison." The lady said as she looked into the baby's face.

"Miss, I think the baby was also affected by the poison... When that strong man released the dagger, it also made a scratch on her forearm." Das said in a caring tone.

"You don't need to worry about her. She is the daughter of Rocky Reynold, the prince of the Leo clan. In this world, no poison can kill her. She is resistant to every poison, like her father." She replied with a proud face as she erased the dagger mark on the fore hand of the baby.

Das did not understand what she was taking... How can someone be resistant to all the poisons?!. Das stood there for a long time... as he didn't want to leave her in alone in this dark forest area without any aid.

"Das, can you help me move a little bit further into the forest?..." After a long time, the lady asked as she turned her face towards him. n-)o//V--e(-l(-b.-1--n

Before this, Das did not observed her face clearly as she always focused her gaze towards the baby. But now, after seeing her full face, he felt like he saw an angel in blood-soaked clothes.

He went into a complete stupor at the beauty of that lady. There is not even a speck of makeup on her face. Her natural face looks more appealing under the moonlight.

'Das...' she called his name again.

Das immediately woke up from his stupor and started nodding his head like a chicken.

"Yes, yes, I will help you. Tell me the direction." Das said as he walked closer to that lady, who stood up with the baby in her hands.

Das offered one of his shoulders to grab. She placed the baby on her left shoulder and used her right hand to grab his shoulder. As there is a big wound on her right leg, she was slowly limping with the support of Das shoulder.

She was also holding the bow in her left hand.

"Miss, pass me the baby... I will carry her." Das proposed to take the baby into his hands.

"No, only I will carry her." She said it in a serious tone. Das did not ask her again.

As they were walking slowly in a forward direction, Das's gaze turned on the bow in her hands. Surprisingly, the bow was already broken in the middle, but she tied the two parts directly onto her left hand tightly.

From this angle, the bow looked like a part of her body. She is losing a lot of blood from the left hand because of the tight binding of her hand with the two broken parts of the bow.

While leaving a trail of blood, they moved deeper into the forest.

Note: As this is novel of Magical realism... there will be some magical weapons in this real world. The bow is just a start... still many magic items are on their way. please comment your thoughts on the introduction of magic weapons. Should I add more or shall I restrict them to original six hidden family heir looms.
