Chapter 32 Klaus Vs Shadya (1)

After running through several corridors and killing more necromancers, Klaus finally feels that the Sect Master is near.

He also feels a strange connection with her getting aroused inside him; he's felt that before, and it's somewhat similar to the affinity he has with Irina and the mysterious Dragon Princess.

"What happened? Is it her?" The fairy notices the change in Klaus' mood; he doesn't look really concerned but thoughtful.

"Yep." He nods as he looks at Irina with a tender expression. "I don't know what's going to happen next, so if things get out of my control… you have to promise me you'll run away."

Irina bites her lips; she could lie, but she won't do it. "I can't promise that."

Klaus sighs as he caresses her face. "I'll be fine no matter what happens to me, but if something happens to you... my new life would be meaningless."

The fairy cannot deny that the vampire's words fill her heart with warm feelings. But she still won't give him what he wants. "We will fight her together, as a couple, and face anything like that, always together!"

"Of course." Klaus can't complain about Irina's loyalty being so pure and solid, but he still teases her while giving peck kisses on her lips. "You're so stubborn, my dear."

"Hehe..." She giggles and starts biting his lips. "Do you regret choosing me as your wife?"

"No way I would regret that!" He quickly responds. "It was the easiest decision of my life."

"I feel the same." She comments before kissing his lips passionately.

Klaus also kisses her, also hugging her delicate waist and lifting her into his arms. Irina gets so excited that she quickly starts letting out cute moans and even her wings flutter instinctively.

Both of them could go on doing that for hours, but now they don't have the time, and Klaus breaks the kiss, leaving the poor fairy with a flushed face and a pleading expression.

"Don't look at me like that..." He caresses her face and brushes his thumb across her soft lips. "We must attack now while that powerful blood is still in my veins."

"Mm." Irina nods, and then they head down that corridor, which leads into a large, dark hall.

Arriving at that room, Klaus first feels a strong smell of blood and death all over the place; There is no light in the hall, but thanks to his keen senses, he can see various mutilated body parts swirling around an ominous miasma in the center of the place.

Irina gets queasy by just being there, but for Klaus, that's like a walk in the park. Yet, his instincts warn him that the Sect Master is within that miasma, and she is more powerful than ever.

"It's so dark..." Irina comments as she focuses her energies on her limbs, making her wings and elven tattoos over her body light up, bringing some blue light into that room.

"What the hell??" The fairy is shocked to see the miasma of bodies in the center of the room.

"It's her." Klaus sternly comments as he lets go of Irina's hand and walks toward the miasma.

Irina stays alert, prepared to fight as the vampire walks to the center of the room.

"Can you hear me?" He asks as he gets closer and closer to the miasma, feeling that death energy touch his body.

"I do." A calm female voice comes from within the miasma, which fades, revealing the Sect Master at the center of it.

She's standing with open arms in the midst of that death energy; her eyes are totally black, and black veins are visible all over her body.

"Were you waiting for me?" Klaus maintains a relaxed posture, watching the Sect Master's every action; he can only attack when he is sure of what's going on.

The Sect Master looks at him with those big black eyes and smiles. "I've waited for you all my life... and now that you're here, my life can really begin."

The vampire shakes his head with a disappointed expression. "How can you be so delusional? I'm going to kill you and drink your blood; that's what will happen."

"Hahaha..." The Sect Master wryly laughs as she floats around Klaus. "You are so arrogant and proud... and I like that; after all, the man who will rule this world by my side could not be humble."

"You'll have to find another man; this one is already mine!" Irina exclaims as she flies toward the Sect Master.

"Wait, Irina!!" Klaus tries to warn his beloved, but everything happens too fast.

The fairy's speed is quite high, but the Sect Master creates big hands of dark energy even faster.

*Whoosh*

Irina only realizes she's screwed up when two black hands are about to grab her, but then she feels a gentle, familiar touch, and her vision blurs before she appears several meters away from that spot.

"Do not act impulsively, my dear." Klaus says as he hugs Irina; he had to use almost his maximum speed to get her out of that spot before the Sect Master hurt his beloved.

The Sect Master is surprised at Klaus's speed; she expected him to be pretty powerful at that point, but not that much. [His powers are even more awesome!]

"My bad." Irina speaks in an ashamed tone as she stands behind Klaus; she doesn't want to get in his way.

"It's alright." Klaus comments while looking at the Sect Master. "That snake is cunning, but it won't be able to hurt you after I cut off its head."

"Tsk..." The Sect Master makes a mocking sound as she looks at the fairy with a hostile expression. "Why do you like this animal so much? I let you drink her blood, but that's all she is, food for you."

Klaus provokingly smiles at the Sect Master. "Aren't you switching roles here? I mean, I chose her to be the only woman by my side, and you... well, I wanted to thank you for giving me this new beginning, but you only deserve to be food."

"You're lying to yourself, Klaus!" The Sect Master speaks his name in an affectionate tone.

At first, she just wanted his power, but after drinking his blood, new feelings appeared in her heart, feelings more powerful than she could have imagined.

He shakes his head again. "Come on; you're crazy... what's your name again? I want to be able to whisper it in your ear when the light of life is leaving your eyes."

"Shadya." She smiles at him. "I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself properly earlier, but you weren't cooperative… I had to act that way to understand more about you, but hurting you was more painful for me than you can imagine."

"You can shove your apologies up your ass, Shadya." He responds with that provocative smile. "I'm going to say this very slowly so you can understand... I... will... kill... you... Shadya."

She rolls her eyes. "You can't kill me, you fool."

"Oh, really?" He starts walking around Shadya, trying to find an opening to attack. "You think you know me just because you took my blood? I bet I can still surprise you."

"This has nothing to do with strength." Shadya looks at Klaus with a loving expression. "You cannot kill me because we are deeply connected. It was my blood that brought you into this world; it gave you a new life, and you owe it to me."

"So you used your blood in the ritual..." Klaus thinks aloud. "You also used Irina's blood, right? And what about that other blood?"

Shadya gets jealous. "What does the damn fairy's blood matter? She's just food; I'm the reason you're here!"

"Ya, ya..." Klaus scoffs. "The witches who turned me into this also thought I owed them something, but they just want to use my power... well, I killed them all and will kill you as well."

"One day, we'll look back on this day and laugh together about how foolish you acted." Shadya comments in a confident tone. "If words cannot make you understand how strong my love and loyalty to you is, my actions will."

Klaus smiles at Shadya. "So come, give me your best."

"You're just making things difficult, my love..." She comments as she raises her hands, causing several black hands to appear around Klaus.

He focuses his senses to the maximum and plans a course between his position, the black hands, and Shadya; then, he dashes as fast as he can.

*WHOOSH*
