Chapter 177: Chapter 177- Even Nightmares will appear sweat dreams once I am done with you
"is that him?"
As soon as she saw the clear image of the man, a strong feeling engulfed her, prompting her to immediately turn her gaze towards the young man beside her.
'?!'
But even before she could react further, a hand grasped her left arm and pulled her in a certain direction.
Thud
"Did you just feel worry for me?" Ryuk looked towards the young woman beside him, his hand wrapped around her arm as he kept her stuck with him, both blinking their eyes before Esme replied, "No—?!"
SWISH
CLANK!
CLANK!
"Haah....Haah...You Bastard!" Edward shouted, his eyes shot red, hands gripping the sword blocked by another one materialized inside the black-masked young man whose face was turned cold, filled with sharp intent.
"EDWARD!" Man called out to his son as his eyes captured him attacking the commander of the Devereaux family.
At that moment, he was himself blocked from doing anything else, swiftly turning his gaze towards the individual blocking him. With gritted teeth, he cried out, "Move this instant!"
WHOOSH
CRACK!
Instantly, due to the force produced by the burst of his energy, the ground beneath scattered in an instant. His eyes fixed on the masked young man in front of him, who seemed slightly different.
"It should be enough," Regina, blocking the man, calmly stated, her hands gripping the sword with lips calmly parting to tell Esme that her work ended here.
'?!'
Man's eyes widened the moment he saw a glitching image of the young man blocking him, turning into the woman whom his son had just attacked.
"Y-you!" Man realized the situation as he turned his gaze towards the one stopping his son, the womanly image transitioning into a black-suited man, a black masquerade mask hiding his face with two sharp amber eyes gazing at the young man in front of them.
"Regina, kill him," Ryuk firmly commanded, his sword gripped tightly as eyes filled with killing intent looked at the two emerald eyes in front of him, burning intentionally with energy.
Scrhch
"Yes, My Liege," Regina nodded, sudden sharp sword energy emanating from her body, instantly causing several cuts on the man's body whom she blocked.
"I appreciate all of your fight, but you see, I just got a message here," Drishti interrupted them, with visible disappointment on her face as she shook her head with folded hands.
"What the hell?" Regina felt her face twitch, a visible frown forming as she turned her eyes towards Drishti, not understanding the meaning of such interruption when everything was going in the right direction.
She was holding the strongest among both of them, while Ryuk was keeping another one—a chance to kill both of these individuals.
Added with the command she received to kill this man, it only made her more frustrated.
After all, it was the first command of her to kill someone by the man whom she decided to follow.
"So message is, you all can't fight on Titanora", Drishti sighed while informing the message she just received from the woman who had once declared to protect Titanora after the previous head of Blair family died at her Granddaughter's hand.
"Then, where exactly, we can?", Ryuk inquired while not even having the thought that there will not be any fight, already aware of this being the last thing which Drishti will want.
So, battle will definitely happen, but not in Titanora, it was confirmed.
Since, he knew the one who could stop their fight can just be.
"Grand ma", Esme murmured.
'Yeah, your Grandma', It felt satisfying for Ryuk that atleast Esme guessed this much, but he had several question to ask her after this battle.
Like, what she saw inside Edward's mind?
Yes, he was aware from the start that Esme was trying to look inside Edward's mind, and due to his ability to adapt, this whole illusion broke, leading to an attack from him.
"Aren't you too excited for the fight?" Drishti raised her eyebrow with folded hands, knowing that the young man was aware of the inevitable battle.
'Yeah, You are one to talk' Only one thought reverberated from Ryuk, Esme, and Regina's minds, as they looked at the woman feigning surprise when she was actually the most excited among them.
"Don't look down on me!" Edward was already frustrated with everything happening around him, aggravated by the restrictions on his body while no one took him seriously.
Everything was just too much; they needed to know he was the one above all.
"COME ON! —SWOOSH "
'?!'
Ryuk's eyes visibly reflected the struggle from Edward, causing him to slowly move his body, the burning aura repelling the restrictions placed on him as he increased his strength on the sword.
Even Drishti was taken aback, evident from her blank expression towards Edward, yet she remained calmer as a smile formed the moment her eyes fell on the black-masked young man.
SWISH
Ryuk swiftly tilted without much struggle, his sword disappearing instantly as his claws shot towards Edward's face, tearing through the air, accompanied by a voice resonating in that place, "You'll beg for nightmares once I'm done with you, Edward."
