The Duke's Passion

869 That's rude

"I'm sorry," Samacl whispered, holding his breath as he welcomed his incoming doom.

BOOGSH!

A powerful gust of wind exploded as soon as the demon's fist landed on its target. The ground cracked and in a blink of an eye, it broke, creating a deep hole.

"Ilahaha! I can't believe how disappointingly weak the chosen seed..." the demon trailed off as the large grin on his demonic face slowly faded.NewW novels updates at wuxiahere.com

Meanwhile, Samael's eyes were not blinking. His eyes were dilated, fixed on the person's back that suddenly appeared before him.

"Tilly..." came out a whisper. His lips were pale and trembling. Just now, Samacl had seen the face of fear. f not for Tilly suddenly appearing in front of him, he was certain he would've died. The wind blew past Tilly's long, white hair. It made the bell around her hair ring in a slow sound. Her index was pressed against the demon's knuckle, which Samael noticed just now.

Did she stop that powerful attack with just one finger?

Samael's lips parted in surprise. Sure. Ile knew Tilly was capable. I lowever, he didn't know how capable she truly was because she kept running during all their sparring.

"Haha..." the demon's laughter volumed down as it retrieved its fist, revealing a sickly-looking woman. However, Tilly might look pale and sickly, but her eyes were shining in a bright crimson red. It looked as though her eyes were blood on fire, looking directly at the demon's deceitful

cycs.

"Sloth," said the demon along with the debris falling that was stuck in his fist. "So, you came back, huh?"

"I didn't leave." Tilly blinked ever so tenderly, glancing over her shoulder to look at Samael. "How can I leave him if you're here?"

"You didn't leave? Ilah!" Another short wave of laughter escaped the demon's mouth, but this time, it had a tinge of uncertainty. For sure, the demon didn't feel another person's presence the entire time. I low come he didn't feel this woman's presence if she was here all along?

"Hmm..." the demon scanned Tilly from head to toe. "... you remind of to not judge a book by its cover. Your face is just as deceitful as your blood."

Tilly didn't react as usual, turning her back against the devil as if she had all the luxury to do so. Her eyes slowly fell on Samael, sighing at how beaten up he looked. This was probably the first time she had seen him in such a pathetic state.

"Ahh...!!!" the demon screamed, unable to pull its hand from Tilly's wings. The wings did not only pierce its hand, but it felt as though Tilly's wings were stretching within his hand, cating his flesh from the inside.

"Sloth!!" the demon clenched his teeth, showing a different side of him aside from laughing. It tried to close its fist to grab Tilly but to no avail. It was only hurting itself. Thus, to stop his agony, the demon suddenly swung his other hand to chop his other arm.

"Ugh..." the demon growled, pulling its arm back. Blood as dark as in dripped from its severed arm, eyes glinting menacingly in Tilly's direction.

"That's rude," muttered Tilly, unfazed by the demon's action. "Samael said he needed rest. Do not disturb."

Samael's eyes shook, shifting his eyes back to Tilly. Tilly was looking over her shoulder while talking to the demon. Meanwhile, the severed hand stuck into her wings appeared as though it was shrinking. Samacl thought he was simply hallucinating, but the hand kept shrinking until it was nothing but skin.

severed hand dry, her wings looked as if it gained its own skin. Now, instead of bones covered with blood, her wings appeared like a pair of black wings.

Tilly peeled her eyes from the demon, facing Samael once again. "Do not leave this spot," she remarked while pointing at him.

"Stay there until you can fight." Tilly turned on her heel, facing the demon this time. She cocked her head back to see the demon's face clearly. "Samael, replenish your strength because no one can end this mayhem but you. I was reserving my energy to stop you, but I suppose my task will be yours since I am taking yours."

Tilly's eyes turned sharper. "Do not... apologize like that again."

With that being said, Tilly flew up until she was flying right before the demon. Meanwhile, Samael remained in his position, watching Tilly face the demon fearlessly.
