Chapter 275 [Bonus chapter] The Battle

“Why are you trying to take Hazel with you?” His warm smile and soft features turned colder and darker and the fangs peeked out of his mouth when he stared coldly at the knight who suddenly turned into a woman with silver hair.

“I was not expecting you to recognize me that soon. The girl needed help.” Her expressions were calm but beneath those clear eyes the mana was swirling and her soft lips were already murmuring a protection spell so that he could not attack her leisurely.

He had already taken his gun out and was sneering at her.

“I thought all the first generation witches were killed. I am glad that you came by yourself to clear my misunderstanding and correct my mistake.” without wasting another second, he shot all the bullets on her.

These bullets were filled with mana and gunpowder to make it work on the witches faster but not a single bullet touched her.

All the bullets stopped an inch away from her body and then fell on the ground.

“You were able to kill all those witches only because they were in their recovery period.

They have lost a lot of blood and most of their powers in the process of killing Isabella but I was not one of them. So, your actions did not affect me then and it is not going to affect me now.

You are just a kid in front of me.” a chuckle escaped his lips instead of anger when he shook his head.

But then he took out another bunch of bullets and refilled his gun.

“The protection spell you have placed is stronger but it does not mean that it will never break. I am a very patient man when it comes to hunting my prey.” with that, he started shooting another load of bullets.

These bullets were stronger with mana infusion than the last time. Anne could feel that the protection spell would not stay for long.

It takes a lot of energy to make a protection spell. Though she was already in the process of making another one, she did not know how many bullets he had.

“You crude vampire, didn’t I say I was not one of them. Then why are you attacking me?” she snarled with anger as she moved her fingers and the gun in his hands started to shake as if it was trying to free itself from the grip of Rafael.

But he increased force up to the limit that it stopped moving and Anne gritted her teeth. She could use stronger spells against him but she did not want to hurt him.

He was her brother in law. And though she could never tell him that, she did not want Hazel to be hurt.

“I have expected better spells from you!” Rafael scoffed as he shot more bullets with a smile on his face.

Anne stomped her feet. A wave formed through it and the earth shook as if an earthquake had come. The vibration was strong enough to make anyone fall.

All the objects started to fall around but Rafael was standing there long and tall as if he could not feel the shaking of earth.

Instead he came closer when he heard the sound of shattering glass when he shot the last bullet.

Her protection spell had been broken but it would only be a matter of seconds before she would form another. He could not wait to refill the bullet and then shot her.

His inhuman speed only took a second for him to reach in front of him and hold her neck when her eyes widened. She tried to place a protection spell but this time it covered both of them and they vanished from there since she had added teleportation spells this time to run away.

They both landed in the annex building where she was living and he sneered.

“You said that you were not among the witches who tried to kill Isabella. Yet you are here, working with a corrupt human to assassinate me and my species and killing Hazel in the process too.” the grip of his hands on her neck tightened when she closed her eyes and started coughing.

Her hands moved in a circle with some difficulty and a tornado of wind started to form in the room. It pushed Rafael away but he was using all his force to kill her.

When he was sure that he would not be able to hold for long, his fangs came out and he attacked on her neck.

“You damn pest! Do you think you can drink anyone’s blood!” she shouted with annoyance as she murmured another spell and his mouth closed automatically.

He tried to open it but he could not. He held his lips with his hands and tried to open his mouth but it looked like it was sealed.

“Now you are looking much better. Sit there or I will turn you into a toad this time.” she commanded but Rafael only took out his gun this time.

If he could not drink her blood then he would kill her in another way when she sighed and shook her head.

“You are just like a kid who only knew what he wanted and could not listen to others. I am only going easy on you because of Isabella but you are not learning your lesson.” his eyes snapped back to her and turned so sharp as if he was trying to kill her with his eyes.

He would have hurled a few profanities if not for his closed mouth but that did not mean that he would let her speak nonsense.

The pulled the trigger of the gun ready to shot again when she chuckled softly,

“Hazel, have you not felt the difference in her recently? Her body is filled with mana that she could not control and if it continued, she would die by explosion soon,

You have seen other witches exploding, right? If i would not help Hazel, she would end up like them.”
