Chapter 117
She decided to watch his stupidity a bit more to entertain herself, then she can leave after taking him unawares and giving him a good beating. She took out an apple from her storage ring and began to eat it. She had sealed off the scent of the apple so he can’t find where she is that smoothly.
The pissed Phoenix unfolded his arms and suddenly headed in her direction.
Glinda ceased eating the apple and rose quickly. Then she started walking away from that spot facing east, but to her stupefaction, he changed direction and started walking after her.
‘This… How can he know which direction I am? Can he see me, or he’s just walking randomly?’ she thought in bafflement. She headed back to the tree stump again and sat down. Phoenix was headed in the direction that she was before, he continued heading east.
She sneered. ‘As I thought. What a moron!’
“I thought I told you to show yourself? You think my patience hasn’t got a limit?”
Stunned, she rose from the tree stump and turned around to see Phoenix standing behind her.
“This…” she looked towards her right and still saw another Phoenix heading east. ‘Gosh! How come there are two of them? He can replicate himself? Is this one before me even the real one or is he a copy? Gosh! Self-Duplication ability… that means he isn’t a low-level wizard like I earlier thought. Seems a battle is inevitable.’
She made herself visible and looked at him coquettishly.
“Handsome, you finally caught me. You’re so good at hide-and-seek. Now that you’ve caught me, I’m all yours. If you want, we can f*ck right here. Rough or gentle, any way you like.”
Phoenix let the spell on his body vanish and his face that he was known for could be seen. Glinda’s eyes widened.
This man before her was now much taller, ripped (i. e. muscular) and most importantly, he was the finest specimen she’d ever seen.
“My gosh! I’m willing to bear your kids.” she blurted out with eyes full of affection.
This man left her handsome brother in the dust- This was her ideal man! She began thinking how she could put him under a spell when she finally wins the battle and then she can ride him for as long as she wanted and then she’d compel him to show his prowess in bed.
Envisioning how powerful his thrusts would be. Gosh, she was already wet down there! This man was s3x on legs and Sin’s incarnate.
Phoenix, on the other hand, observed this woman’s facial expression change from astonishment to affection, awe and finally lust.
“Speak. What are you here for? Who sent you?” he asked, bringing her back to reality.
“If I tell you, will you be willing to bed me? As you can see, I’m already wet. I don’t mind if you pin me down right now and ruin my crotch. You’re free to ruin this beautiful woman. Look, my nipples have risen and…”
“I’m not here for jokes.” Phoenix threw a ball of grey mist at her, causing her to be pushed backwards until she hit a tree violently.
She sank to her knees and spat out blood. She now wore a frightened countenance.
Phoenix started walking to her, “Are you willing to talk now?”
“You… you’re not a wizard. You’re a sorcerer!” she cried out.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Now that you know, speak up.”
“I’m not telling.” she quickly rose and started running facing south, transforming into a bird as she ran in desperation. She had to escape and go to her brother. She had to tell him that this mate of the tribrid is a sorcerer and a high-level one at that. That he had to tread really carefully. She had to run!
Phoenix levitated and then started flying after her in pursuit.
‘I have to escape! I have to escape!’ she kept chanting in her mind but she suddenly was forced to halt as she saw Phoenix levitating just ahead of her. When did he overtake her? Why did she not see nor sense him doing it? Oh, wait! How could she forget? This hybrid guy could clone himself. Maybe this was the clone meant to slow her down. She mustn’t stop again.
With this in mind, she tried to fly past him, only for him to launch a ball of red mist at her. The force from it was so great that she couldn’t fly anymore as that mist hit her right wing. She fell downwards, but Phoenix headed downwards too, even landing before her. He caught her bird form and held her legs. She struggled to get free, to no avail.
“I told you, my patience has a limit,” Phoenix said as he took out a red rope from his spatial ring.
She was forced to transform back into human, finally getting out of his grasp. She held her broken arm and tried to set it, only for Phoenix to throw a dagger at her arm, piercing her bone. Her knees gave as her body trembled from the pain.
Tears flowed down her cheeks as she started sobbing, “I’m just a little crow, struggling daily to survive. I have no parents and I didn’t hurt anyone. Just because you’re stronger than me, you want to kill me. How is that fair? I was just seated on that tree stump, eating an apple. I only made myself invisible earlier because… because I felt you and your mate were coming. I know the hostility between the wolf and crow clans so I didn’t want to be discovered. How would I know you were a hybrid? Please don’t kill me, I beg you,” she pleaded, her palms pressed together as she ignored the pain in her right hand, not even daring to remove the dagger.
Phoenix sighed. “I’m sorry, lady. It seems I think I got too cautious and I hurt you like this. You know about me being a hybrid.”
“Please don’t kill me.” she pleaded in a quivering voice.
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. As long as you don’t tell another soul about my existence.” he pulled out the dagger with force, causing her to yelp but that didn’t stop her from replying.
She nodded vigorously. “I swear on my life that I won’t breathe a word of this to another soul, sir.”
“Okay. I’ll let you go today.” he wiped the blood on his dagger on her pants, then he took out a white handkerchief from his spatial ring and cleaned it until it was shiny once again. Then he threw the hanky on her head before placing his dagger back into his storage ring.
“Gotta catch up to my mate. Can’t keep her waiting for too long.” Phoenix turned around and started flying away in the direction they came from.
Glinda sighed and took off the handkerchief from her head after quite some time had passed. That man was gone but he didn’t trust him one bit so she’d better do something paramount.
She quickly took out the golden mirror and activated it as it shone a bright golden light. Soon Narfi could be seen. He looked unhappy.
“What is it now… Glinda?” his expression quickly changed to that of worry on seeing how pitiful his sister looked. Her right hand was broken and bloodied, her hair dishevelled and she was sweating so much like she’d gone through something really tough.
“Glinda, what happened? Who did this to you?” Narfi questioned in ire.
“Brother, you really have to tread carefully. That man is no wizard,” she said in a hoarse voice, struggling not to let tears fall.
“You mean the hybrid mate?” Narfi asked.
“Yes… He found me and nearly killed me. He is a sorcerer, Narfi.” she divulged. “I… I…” she suddenly spat out blood and her brother called her name in unease.
“Tell me where you are and I’ll come get you!”
“No need. I will not make it. He’s here.” she laughed bitterly.
“What do you mean?” he asked with eyebrows creased. Narfi was surprised to see a handsome man soon appear behind Glinda.
“I thought you made a promise?”
She quickly went on her knees, “Please, don’t kill me. He’s my brother and…”
“He’s a soul, right? You disclosed my special identity to another soul. I won’t kill you immediately.” Phoenix then looked at the glowing mirror. “Narfi, watch how I pamper her until she sleeps forever.”
“Don’t you dare touch my sister!” Narfi warned. “Glinda, where are you exactly? Please answer me!”
Before Glinda could attempt a reply, Phoenix gave her a harsh slap, causing the right side of her face to be deformed, as several teeth flew out of her mouth.
“You… Stop it.” Narfi yelled.
“I will stop… only when she’s ready to sleep forever.” he let go of Glinda who transformed into her bird form, attempting to flee, not minding the pain in her right wing. But he seized her by her feet. His eyes changed colour to viridian, his hair turned silver with cerulean at the edges and lengthened until his shoulders.
“Actually, there’s something I always wanted to do- cooking.” Phoenix smilingly took out a large pot that had a lid obscuring its content. He placed it on the rock close to him and removed the lid.
Thick smoke ascended from the pot and Glinda toiled harder to get out of his hold, but he simply broke her left wing and legs before throwing her into the pot of boiling water.
“Glinda!” Narfi cried out in distress. “You bastard! Let go of her!”
“I already have.” Phoenix covered the pot with its lid again. “That’s why she’s in the pot having a fun swim.”
