The Demon's Bride
Chapter 422: It is You-II

Chapter 422: It is You-II

Leviathan jumped down, transforming his body into a human's body and his palm tried to reach the barrier. A deep frown came across his forehead. As a Demon and Prince of Hell who have the blood of Satan, no doubt was he strange but he had just regain his body and his power was not even half of his true power.

Although the barrier created by the dark sorcerers are a high grade barrier that used human's sacrifice as the base, it should be flimsy to him and easy to break— a task he could do while his eyes were closed, yet now he wasn't able to do anything.

His daughter was inside, his precious daughter, and she was in danger. Leviathan didn't think. He took one step back and disappeared from the place with the shadowy hands pulling him under the shadow pool.

Ian was on his carriage, coming to settle on an inn where it is located near the place where Elise would came back at. His fingers tapped the open window, and his red eyes that stared at the scenery outside the window felt something strange. When a man appeared on the ground outside the inn, Ian stood up from his feet, watching the man who was dressed in black hood to cover his face.

"Your bride," the man started his face slowly lifting up and Ian narrowed his eyes on the person who had came all of a sudden.

Back in the open field, Elise's eyes sauntered over Maxwell's expression. She came toward him and the man moved as if to let her sit on the log beside him. "Did you replace something?"

"A few," answered Elise and she looked at the elf, "Do you know a way to break a barrier?"

Maxwell's eyes glimmered, "If I told you I know, what do you have to offer?"

Elise sighed, she had chosen Maxwell to help her because she knew the man was rational. He work with his calmness which could be a good weapon as he won't panic in situations where she needed the help.

"What do you want?" She asked. From the man's question she could gather he have no fear of his own life.

Maxwell stared at her before he laughed, "You won't have what I want. To be clear with you, I cannot break whatever barrier they have here and I doubt anyone here can either. Maybe you have anything with you that could break the barrier?"

Elise went back to the fence once she had talked with Maxwell. She stared at the barrier. Fighting the eight dark sorcerers could be a great idea but at the same time dangerous for her. While she knew she could use her ability, she also knew how dangerous it would be if it ended up backfiring.

Slowly, Elise placed her hand on the invisible wall, the touch of her hand caused ripples of rainbow to appear on the barrier for a moment before it turn still. Elise closed her eyes, trying to utilize her ability—

"HELP ME!!!"

Elise's eyes snapped open and she turned to look behind, replaceing a large fire broke out on the middle of the village. She waste no time to reach toward the fire and her eyes widened when she saw a group of men and women dressed in a red coats. The first thing she noticed was the bright golden eyes. One of the person from the group had caught a person and his smile widened.

"Do you know where the Demon's Bride is?" Over the man's question, Elise's eyes widened.

"I-I don't know!" said the man who was hoisted to the air, he began to cough and show signs of flu. Panic flickered over the man's eyes. "I-I am a-a human.... I know nothing about who you are saying about."

"Liar. We both know you are not a human, dark sorcerer and a corrupted Angel," the man said for the human man's smile to fall.

A small bump appeared on the side of the dark sorcerer's head, and it grew higher and higher to turn into a tall and sharp horn, "That's not fun," and his eyes looked down on the man who had picked him by his neck now kneeling on the ground as his hand had sliced the man' throat. "I thought Relics are much smarter than this."

Elise know understood. Unlike the dark sorcerer who decided to mingle with the candidates and kill without raising suspicions, Relics were the opposite because unlike dark sorcerers, their aim wasn't to overtake humans and mythical beings; they want to kill Demons and for that they needed her who was said to could kill demon.

"Lady Elise!" shouted Ernest when he saw her, "We should go from here."

Elise looked at Ernest and Warren, her smile had fallen when she stared at one of the two men. "Is there anything wrong, Lady Elise?" Ernest asked again, concern was laced on his voice.

"You hide better than I thought," Elise answered and Ernest's eyes that looked at her turn blank.

"W-What are you saying?" Ernest questioned with a tinge of nervousness on his voice and his feet quickly took one step back when Elise pulled her pistol from her hip. Ernest was late to react when Elise pushed her finger on the trigger and pulled it. The man close his eyes and his ears rang with the loud ring only to open his eyes after a while when he noticed no pain came to him.

Elise's eyes were still sharp with glower as she looked behind him. Warren fell on the ground as he barely avoided the bullet by a hair's breadth. The vampire's eyes that looked at her slowly change to black.

"How do you know?" The dark sorcerer asked, his skin melted showing the true for, of his face where the left side of his face was filled with burn scars that cause the surface of his skin to wrinkle and his eyes were white, missing his iris.

"I used a special perfume," Elise answered with a smile, pulling the perfume she sprayed on her earlier which she had taken from the ghost's house and exchange the liquid inside with holy water that Ian prepared her with. "Someone taught me how to expose you."

"Shit. This is why smart women are bothersome," cursed Warren as his smile fell from his face.

"I would like to say that smart women are the revolutionary seeing how you cannot disguise the redness of your skin due to the holy water even if you are able to resist coughing and sneezing," Elise answered and she moved her point toward Warren, taking advantage of the abrupt timing.

Warren? pushed himself in the speed of a wind to roll over the ground? and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The person she fought earlier had been fast but Warren was quicker than him, that it was almost hard for her to chase him by her eyes.

Elise noticed something and pushed Ernest out of the way, seeing blade moving fast across her eyes...
