[ Okay, okay, I apologize ... sorry for leaving a cliff~ Anyway, this will really be the last one today okay, though it's still a cliff~ hehe ]
Due to Moori's instinct that guard against danger, her body slightly trembled. She instinctively wanted to dodge.
Just at this time.
All of a sudden a ruthless, cold expression flashed through a dark figure's eyes who was also hiding somewhere inside the office.
The dark figure bent his knees, flew out from his hiding place, and immediately jumped away in diving posture, swift as the wind
The dark figure jumped to one side of the wall and stepped on that wall, borrowing the strength to leap once more.
Although the arrows are fast, but the dark figure was even faster.
He reached out his hands and lightly grabbed Moori's waist who was standing there in daze; without knowing what just happened.
He wrapped her entire body within his embrace and protected her by wrapping her so tightly that they were joined seamlessly.
Just then, that bright silvery arrow broke through the window and entered, carrying with it the sound of thunder and a murderous air.
In normal occasions, the dark figure would either have had to use his body to block this arrow or let Moori die; these would have been the only two possible choices.
It was as if the enemy was clearly forcing the dark figure to choose: either choose to save his own life or save the woman!
Now the black masked person’s gloomy and cold expression had a cruel smirk, as if victory was insight.
However, the reality made him frown.
From out of nowhere, crimson flames appeared.
It then changed into a flaming dragon in midair, silently roaring and swallowed that arrow.
Swift like the wind, quick like lightening.
Not just that, a blue water dragon slowly coiled up their bodies as if it were protecting them.
Therefore, even as murderous intent surrounded them and under circumstances where a moment of carelessness could prove fatal, Moori was completely protected within the dark figure's embrace.
Seeing that his attack was rendered useless, the assassin immediately choose to run away after flicking his two fingers.
The crimson flaming dragon wanted to chase and burned him but the assassin was unexpectedly very fast as he was gone in a blink of an eye.
"L-Lyle ...?" Moori asked and the shock in her eyes was obvious.
"Your knight in not-so-shining armor had come...!" Lyle jokingly muttered. He smiled brightly as he quickly nodded
his head. "Did you fall in love with me again?"
"W-why are you here?"
"Just something."
Actually, Lyle have been desperately patrolling the Academy grounds especially Moori's office every night in these past few days … Without anyone knowing, he was working quite really hard behind the scenes.
He had already encountered many assassins during this time and because they were useless who doesn't know anything, he just killed them all and disposed their bodies without anyone knowing.
So far he avoided telling that to her because of the mental burden she already had from the issues popping out like crazy inside the Academy City.
Thus, he had no choice but to act alone while behaving like batm*n in goth*m city while wearing jet-black clothes to feel the vibe. Unfortunately, he had not expected this, so he couldn't prepare a bat costume beforehand for this event~ = =
With Lyle's godly perception, he should have noticed the assassin's hiding place before he could attack. However, the assassin seemed to be a master in terms of playing hide and seek. He couldn't sense him so he could only rely on his killing intent.
Every assassin, no matter how good they are in hiding their killing intents, would still let out even a meager amount as soon as they started their attack.
---Lyle used this single chance to find him.
Confused from the lack of air and with her vision blocked by a water-like wall, Moori was completely unaware of the truth despite sensing that something was not quite right.
Suddenly, Moori feels the sudden danger.
The hands that are still on her waist seems particularly firm, making her feel like she is unable to move a single
step. Masculine breath was beside her ears.
Although she has her clothes on, his hands are blazing hot like an iron, making Moori feels like she can’t breathe.
Don’t, do not take the opportunity to bully me and take advantage of me in the middle of the night!
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
She scrambles to push his hands away. As a result, her clothes become messy and two buttons are loosened.
Lyle turns around and takes a look at her, holding tightly the beautiful waist which seems to want to escape from his hand. His lower lip curls slightly, “Let us be like this for a little while, it feels amazing and you smell so good."
Perhaps the temperature of his palm is too scorching or her mind is too confusing because of him holding her waist and smelling his masculine scent that could drive anyone crazy, Moori stopped struggling and looked at him: “Why
are you here? I thought you already went home?"
However, all of a sudden, her figure stood still.
Because Lyle's height was still not as tall as her, when the water wall slowly subsided, she can clearly see what is happening behind him. At this time, she noticed the serpent-like flaming dragon floating in mid-air.
This crimson burning dragon was baring her fangs and was really angry while looking through the window.
Moori's line of sight then change and shot towards the wooden window.
Three finger-sized holes could be seen there, forming an inverted triangle. Its notch was smooth and round, not too big or small and just the right size for an arrow to enter.
Moori rolled her eyes and returned her gaze at Lyle. She stared at him solemnly with a puzzled looked and yet she did not speak a single word.
----------------------------
With Lyle appearing out of nowhere and embracing her.
A flaming and a water-like serpentine dragon.
------------------------
With just that, she realized something.
Someone tried to kill her just now and Lyle saved her from that.
Seeing her expression, Lyle caressed her cheek and smiled.
However, something suddenly happened.
His eyebrows were slowly pressed together and his body also began to twitch uncomfortably.
“That… Lyle, you… did something happened?” Seeing the change in Lyle's expression, Moori who was standing in front of him suddenly asked softly. Her voice filled with deep worry and concern.
Lyle finally raised his head when he heard the question. His heart jumped violently.
In front of him, the slender and beautiful face of Moori was filled with an attractive redness. He suddenly felt as if he wanted to attack her.
Lyle's normally alert eyes had now turned hazy.
When Lyle's gaze moved downwards, he couldn't help but gulped as he noticed that even Moori's neck was covered with a very attractive layer of pink shade.
She was like a tender steak that he wanted to gobble up.
Something is indeed amiss …
Lyle suddenly realized that his body had abruptly become very hot. Moreover, this heat was on a rising trend.
Taking in a deep breath, Lyle eyed the panic that appeared on Moori's face that was caused by his strange behavior.
What is happening to me ... ?
After musing for a moment, a thought struck him as he hurriedly touched his back.
I think I felt as if I was stung by a bee earlier ....
Surely enough, Lyle found a thin needle struck in his back. When he raised the needle against his nose, he suddenly smell something strange.
This smell ...
“What is it? Is there a problem with that thing?” Witnessing Lyle’s manner, Moori curiously asked. Then as if she was
struck by something, her face suddenly paled.
"D-Don't tell me ... y-you were poisoned?!" Moori's eyes began to moist.
Poison ... ?
No!
This smell ... I think I've smell something like this in the palace ...
Oh no ... !
Something hit Lyle's mind as his mouth involuntarily drop into an O … …
Can it be … …
His eyes suddenly convulsed, and his hand trembled, dropping the needle in the floor.
The expression on his face was as if he had eaten a fly.
“D-Don't tell me ... this was aphrodisiac ... ?!" Lyle said, feeling a desire to cry but no tears came forth.
What kind of assassin used aphrodisiac to kill?!
Did they want to kill a person from excessive ejaculation.
Lyle broke out in cold sweat when he realized that. How could there be such a sinister way to kill a person in this
world?
You're not Ch* Y*ng for heaven sake!! ( `□ʹ)˟!!
