Felix atfirst thought wufeng was taking him seriously but after noticing the overly dramatic way his eyes were darting around, he glared at wufeng for making fun of him.

"Tease me all you want but I know what am saying" Felix knit his brow in a frown, he was in a pensive mood but this asshole was making jokes.

"Alright alright OK....I bel----"

SWOOSH!

A broad sword descended on Wufengs' neck with a terrifying force.

Splatter!

Blood spattered on Felix's face before he could react, he bore an extremely terrified expression, his eyes went wide with shock and fear.

Wufeng's mouth was still curved in a sarcastic grin as his head bounced off his neck, tumbling onto the ground. His facial expression was still casual and mocking as if he did not know he was dead.

Blood shot out of his neck like arrows, falling like showers of rain on the ground, the headless body was kicked forward by a well muscled leg.

He fell down like a wooden plank, blood leaked out of his neck and his dismembered head until there were dark red puddles around the dead body.

Felix stared at the dead body twitching on the ground, he was pale with a deep fear. He did not dare look at the owner of the leg that kicked Wufeng's body away.

"Look at me" a cold calm voice devoid of emotion sounded in Felix's eardrums, he fearfully looked up from the dead body. Shaking like a leaf, he realized his groin region was damp.

The owner of the calm voice was a woman, she had coal black eyes that highlighted her ink black shoulder-length hair.

Her long black hair was plaited into a single braid. The bridge of her narrow nose was so low-profile that it looked like a bump above her dusty pink lips. She stood like a petite statue plated in black leather armor.

With a skinny physique that was nimble and built for speed, she shot him an icy cold stare as if a panther was watching its prey.

Felix gazed at the broad sword in her right hand, blood was dripping off the blade giving it a more sickly look. Assessing the fierce looking woman in front of him, he knew that there was no way in hell he could escape.

As if she read his mind she flashed a chilling smile.

"don't think about running away from me, I promise you that you would be dead before you can move your legs"

She continued "however if you do as I say, I won't kill you".

Her voice had a serene yet deadly edge to it. Afraid to blink, Felix could feel his mind go blank, only one sentence could form in his head....i don't want to die....i don't want to die.....gulping saliva he simply nodded his head.

"Alright, good boy!....now help me draw lady Minerva into an ambush, all you need to do is call out to her" her lips curled into vicious smile.

This smile was inhumanly wide, her white teeth were on full display but her molars slowly elongated into pointy fangs. It was then he noticed her white skin that was like polished ivory contrasting against her pink lips.

F**k me sideways... she-she's a freaking vampire!....his mind was shaken with the realization. He had never seen a vampire before but he'd heard tales of them. Creatures who feasted on blood and had the gift of immortality, rivaling werewolves in every way.

He always thought they were myth, like werewolves he believed they were all extinct after the millennia war, the only races that were broadly known were the elementals, necrophiles, humans and elves. The werewolves and vampires had vanished from history mysteriously, nobody had seen or heard about them for centuries.

"Erm-ok I-i will do as you say, jus-just don't kill me pl-please" beads of sweat rolled down his wide forehead drenching his face. This freaking vampire wants to use me to get to lady Minerva! What do I do? What do I do? If I don't help her she's gonna murder me! If I do help her I will be branded a traitor assuming she doesn't kill me anyways!

Felix was unsure of what to do, he adored lady Minerva, she had bought him as a slave twenty years ago and took care of him, employing him as her stable boy and accommodating him. He owed his entire life to lady Minerva.

Slaves always had it rough, they were constantly objectified and used, some even died horrible deaths at the hands of their wicked masters. He instinctively knew that this vampire had no good intentions for lady Minerva.

"Lead the way" Her words were soft, but the authority in her voice made Felix flinch. she retrieved her broad sword and sheathed it, slinging its saddled sheath on her back.

He had no choice, he nervously walked in front of her. She followed him silently, he noticed her foot made no sound with the clay caked ground at all.

If he didn't glance at her, he would fail to notice that she was following him. He began to understand how skilled she was to be able to sneak up on them so soundlessly. Poor wufeng....

The two of them reached the clearing shortly after, glancing at the tent in front of him, Felix felt hesitant to call out lady Minerva.

He threw a quick glance at the lady behind him and gulped, her dark eyes were pinned on him. Her blank expression made it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

************************************************************************

Mason saw the flaming punch coming for his face, he could feel the heat waves emanating from her fist. His heart pounded blood massively into his limbs, the sound of each heart beat was like hammer hitting an anvil.

Suddenly the looming fist became very slow in his vision, he could see mana coursing through the veins of the clenched hand. The mana had an orange color, congregating around the tissues of her fist, it boiled her blood fiercely.

Time seemed to have stopped in his head, her flaming body was moving towards him in slow motion!

He stepped aside, watching the flaming fist zoom past his face in mid air.

Boom!!

The fiery fist pierced through the concrete wall behind him, shockwaves expanded from the impact causing cracks to spread out.

The entire hall shook from the collision, flames exploded from the cracks scorching the wall black.

The momentum of the lethal punch had buried her entire arm into the wall.

"You! Stupid kid! Just wait till I get my hands on you!" Alakasha yelled indignantly, her hand was stuck in the wall, she tried to pull her hand free but it was in too deep.

"Crazy! You-you were really trying to kill me!" Mason was sweating profusely, his mouth fell open in disbelieve. Panting for breath, he felt a tingling sensation in his limbs, it felt like tiny needles were prickling his skin.

If that fist had hit me, I would have been dead or seriously injured by now! This chick is psychotic! His mind was still processing his near death experience, he had no idea how he had dodged that punch.

Argh! "Stupid wall!" Alakasha struggled to pull her arm free but it was stuck like a nail in the wall. Mad as a monkey with a migraine, she kept trying to twist her arm out of the wall, finally she decided to blast the wall to smithereens.

Mason watched her with an amused expression, his lips curved into a playful smirk. He didn't know how he dodged that blow but he felt good about everything. Soon he noticed the temperature of the surroundings had begun to rise, his jesting face changed dramatically.

"What are you trying to do? Do you want to bury both of us here? You want to blast the wall.....crazy girl don't you know that the entire hall might collapse from the impact"

"F**k you!" Alakasha snarled at mason. Her furrowed brow coupled with her lips which were tightly pressed together, made her seem like an angry doll.

"You already did that, now stop trying to finger the wall, what did it ever do to you" mason flashed a benign but mischievous smile at alakasha.

"Let me help you" mason slowly walked towards her.

"Stay away! I don't need your help! If I have to crush the entire wall then so be it" her thinly pressed lips twisted into a malicious smile.

"at least I get to teach you a lesson in the process"

"Don't be so unreasonable, you will get hurt too, remember you are the one that abducted and raped me"

"Shut up, you enjoyed the act as much as I did, and I didn't force you to stick it in me"

"Says the maniac who tied me down with magic and had her way with a boy who's not even eighteen"

"I will kill you!"

"Huuuuh you need to stop harassing the wall first, you really need to keep your hands to yourself"

"You annoying little brat!"

"Crazy bitch who loves sex with boys"

"When I get free, I will torture you slowly till you learn some manners"

"You mean the manners you thought me when I was inside you" mason chuckled like a hyena, he was thoroughly enjoying this conversation.
