Chapter 76 Ch 74: This Body Has Needs [Pt1]

“Fuck you. I will come back to deal with you later.”

Yohan felt a shock go through his body as Anya suddenly increased her magical output. Her aura was so dense and strong that it did not feel human to Yohan. It seemed almost as if she had surpassed human limits right now.

Yohan had felt a hint of interest in Anya ever since he had first seen her true raw power. And every time he felt like he would finally lose interest, something she did manage to draw his attention back to her.

Even now, when Anya was surpassed by Yohan, she was trying to fight back and get away from him.

“Fine, I will let you go for now. But you should realize it as well, your place is not with the humans.”

Anya bit her lips harshly at Yohan’s words. Yohan did not need to feel her aura or to see her memories to realize how insecure Anya felt about herself.

Any human with so much raw talent as Anya would be feared by their peers. And that fear would give rise to a feeling of alienation. It would make the recipient feel alone and make them considerably worse decisions.

To Yohan, Anya’s aura screamed power but also loneliness. He had not been sure before but now he could also tell that Anya carved for acceptance and love.

A nice person won’t have tried to take advantage of her in such a state but Yohan was beyond caring at this point. He would accept that he was a bastard who would do anything to gain advantage and to take the things he loved.

“I don’t need your acceptance. I am alright the way I am.”

Anya yelled back and then turned her attention toward the humans who were trying to torment her Griffin.

From the sloppy posture and the lack of power behind their blows, Yohan could tell that these kids were far inferior to Anya. That was why he did not care about what happened to them.

And it was not entirely these kids’ fault that they were attacking Anya’s Griffin. A large portion of the blame lay on Yohan.

Yohan had cast that skill as soon as he had felt those human presences inside the forest. It was a perfect way to make sure that he had Anya in his grasp.

His skill had made Anya’s Griffin look like a monster in front of these kids. They were already fearful of the Griffin, so Yohan did not need to make much of an effort for them to act.

And the human hunters had started to perform beautifully. They were hitting the Griffin and the poor trained familiar was unable to attack them.

“Hey you all, stop attacking my familiar. It is against the ruled to attack familiars like this.”

Anya burrowed her way between the hunters and her familiar. Her arms were raised in an attempt to shield her familiar from the human’s cruel attacks but her eyes were angry.

Yohan had no idea how Anya was able to keep a hold of her anger and temper but that would not do. There was only a small tipping point before Anya would end up giving in to her anger.

“Look, it’s the demon. I knew she was crazy to attack a vampire cover all on her own but now she dragged us all in with her as well.”

“Truly, how disappointing for us all. We were just happily minding our own business when this happened. Don’t you have something to say to us, Miss demon?”

“It is all your fault that I had to rush here. The least you can do is to let us play around with your familiar a little.”

Anya was red in the face already. The Griffing behind her nudged her shoulder in a comforting way but Anya did not respond.

Yohan knew that it must be difficult for Anya to hurt the humans in front of her. Her aura was still pure right now which meant that she had never shed human blood on purpose or intended to harm.

Despite her natural aptitude for destruction, Anya somehow managed to retain her pure side. The more Yohan saw of her, the more he wanted her for his side. She would make a terrifying ally once she was trained.

‘Should I push her a little more? I have a feeling that it will be easy to make Anya snap now.’

Yohan could feel the anger rising toward the surface. Anger, jealousy, and hopelessness were two emotions that could drag out the worst in humans.

And with Yohan’s power which fed on these negative emotions, he had no problem powering them with his magic.

“H-How dare you! It would have been one thing if you came after me since you had a problem with me. But my familiar did nothing wrong to you. So why are you testing her like this? Ana did nothing wrong.”

Anya’s human features were getting distorted the more she forced herself to keep control. Yohan could see smoke coming off her body which indicated that a powerful spell was being undone.

‘No wonder Anya felt so powerful to me. It was because she was not a full human.’

Truly, Yohan had thought that Anya seemed a little too strong to be a human. But there were acceptions to every rule so he had decided not to pay attention to her in the long run.

But now he could see that his instincts had not been entirely wrong.

“Well, I am going to play with your familiar. What are you going to do about it? Punch me? Well, in-fighting is prohibited and I will report you in if you-”

Anya could no longer keep a hold of her anger. Her fist connected with the teen in front of her and knocked him back.

Yohan noticed a few scales on Anya’s face and it also looked a little transparent to him but it did not seem like the humans had noticed it yet.

“Y-You! What are you doing? You are going to get expelled-”

“I don’t care. I don’t care if I get expelled or if they even try to kill me. I will not allow you to hurt Ana in front of my eyes again. So you better prepare yourself for my wrath.”

Anya’s eyes flashed and the kid in front of her took a step back in fear. To have someone like Anya’s entire attention on him scared the teen hunter a lot.

No one present in front of Anya could hurt her when she was calm and not using her magic. So they had no hopes of winning against her now that she was using everything she had at her disposal.

“D-Don’t you dare think you can get away with this.”

The hunter yelled as he finally ran away from Anya. the other two looked at each other before taking off after the first hunter as well. That only left Anya in the forest along with her familiar Ana.

It was also time for Yohan to show himself out in the open again. Now that Anya was alone and angry, he could finally get her to make a hasty decision.

“My, you don’t look like a human right now. If anything, you were more like a demon, letting your emotions and desires rule your senses. Is that how you always are?”

“Why do you care what is normal about me? How much do you know me to comment on this?”

“Well, I might not have much interest in your personal story but I am interested in your powers. So how about it? Want to finally join me? I am sure people out there are waiting for you to join me as well.”

Yohan did not move even as the great sword came his way. He could tell that it was about to miss him anyway if he did not move.

And it did miss him by a few inches. It was all because of the control Anya had over her weapon and it highlighted how much strength she had.

“Don’t mess with me. I am a human and I have always been a human. There is no way I will ever side with a half-demon like you.”

Anya seemed to be in self-denial but her body was betraying her now. Yohan knew from experience how high a demon’s sex drive could be if not tended to properly.

It seemed as if Anya did not use her demonic half a lot and the pent-up magic would surely make her horny. Her panting was getting heavier already and her body was giving off a sweet-smelling scent to attract a potential mate to her.

Anya’s sudden flare in temper was also a part of her trying to scout out a strong mate for her demonic self. But she seemed to be unaware of it for now.

“I see. You want to live in denial. But I cannot allow you to live in denial forever so it is time for you to wake up now.”

Anya was such a great specimen for Yohan to add to his side so he was willing to fight Anya for that right. In the end, she would have no excuse to give him once he won her fair and square.
