Chapter 289 Tournament XIX - My Hope
Naomi breathed with her whole life flashing before her eyes. Never in her life had she expected to meet her end so fast, even after finding the love of her life.
She couldn't even begin to explain how happy she was in these past few months.
Her master, the man who helped in her most desperate time, the man who rejected her love for the first time and gave her time to think whether it was just adoration or true love. Velian gave her the meaning of her life, he gave her a new family.
She thought of the sisters, the other women who shared Velian's love. Naomi had never thought she would be able to share her man with anyone, but somehow it had worked. They had become like family, with each sister bringing a unique perspective and personality to their unconventional relationship.
And then there was their daughter, the little bundle of joy who had brought light into their lives. Naomi had never known the joys of motherhood before, and she had embraced it with all her heart. She couldn't bear the thought of leaving her child behind.
Naomi's heart raced as she saw Hannah approaching, limping because of all the injuries she had to go through.
Naomi tried to move her body, but her arms and legs were all not working as all the strength she had in her body was no more.
All of her underlings were already dead, as Hannah hypnotised and made them kill each other.
Having no resistance to her ability, they acted upon her orders and killed them.
As Hannah approached with her claws raised, Naomi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She knew she couldn't escape her fate, but she was grateful for the love and family she had found in her final moments.
"I hope I can kiss him one more time, I should have been more open with him like other girls," Regret started filling Naomi's mind.
But that didn't stop her from getting a good look at Hannah.
"You will die! Velian is not someone you can play with, once he gets to know about my death, he will search for you even if he had to destroy all the kingdoms," Hoping she would be able to take some time, Naomi started to distract her but Hannah didn't fall for it.
"I was stupid for a second, thank you for reminding me that I shouldn't kill you, so I will be taking over your body, and Velian make love to me thinking I'm his beloved girl, I will backstab him, he will die thinking you killed him,"
Hannah said and laughed cruelly, slowly touching Naomi's head and she started drawing something with her blood.
Naomi felt her body going numb when she heard what she was going to do. She trembled in anger hearing her plans.
"I will kill you, demon, I will test you into pieces, let me go," Naomi struggled but, Hannah didn't give a single care about it.
Hoping to complete the circle that she drew with her blood, Hannah extended her hand to touch Naomi's forehead but suddenly her hand got cut from the shoulder making her eyes open wildly.
A blade of some sort, gleaming silver in the dim light, sliced through the air and cut Hannah's hand clean off. Hannah screamed in agony and stumbled backwards, clutching her bleeding wrist.
"Ahhhhh~ it hurts, it hurts," She shouted in pain.
Naomi's eyes widened in shock as she looked at her attacker's severed hand lying on the ground.
"What... what just happened?" she gasped.
A figure stepped out of the shadows, brandishing his hands, showing it wasn't a weapon rather it was just a spell that is sharp enough to harm a demon.
"Naomi, why did you wait until this far to give me a message?"
The figure that came out of the forest was none other than Velian himself. Following him, Daphnia, Juno and Delviny also came since they didn't want to let Velian leave all alone.
"Master!" Naomi's eyes started getting wet all of a sudden seeing her hope coming to save her. She suddenly felt like the same girl that waited in the slave market with dead eyes, and she was reminded of the day when Velian came to pick her up.
"I need to discipline you, but first-" Velian looked at the succubus-looking woman, who came to seduce her earlier.
"You! You really have some guts trying to play with me and my people," He sent another wave of blades of air cutting her other hand and leaving only her two limbs intact.
"Velian!" Hannah had blood coking but right now her full attention was on the man in front of her with her eyes twitching and her body trembling.
"Next blade will be your neck, but I need to do something with you, so I'm going to capture you," He walked close to her, but he always had a spell ready in case she attacked her and just like he expected she used her remaining horn.
Hannah jumped with her horn aiming at Velian's neck, but he suddenly caught her with his bare-handed sequencing her horn almost breaking it with his raw strength.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh~ curse you, man whore, human piece of shit," Hannah used every word that she can think of, but Velian showed no mercy.
"You don't need legs, arms or ears, as long as you have your mouth that's enough for me," Leaving those words, he sent another blade of wind to her two legs cutting them in a clean cut.
A normal human would have died when they were reduced to this state, but Hannah didn't as she had extraordinary strength.
Velian was grabbing her by the remaining horn, but then Velian suddenly heard a warning from Luna.
[Master, that black liquid is trying to invader you again, I will stop it with my power]
Velian didn't even have to give permission because before his hand got invaded by that liquid, suddenly a violet flame came out of his hand burning the whole body of Hannah, but it only affected the black liquid that was inside her body and Hannah herself.
