Chapter 18: Got away

Xiao's rage raised up even more when he saw blood running down from your head to your cheeks. The agent was still holding you down as you look at him in hope of saving you from this mess. His jaw clenched as he looked back at Dottore with a sadistic smirk. Without a word, he summoned his polearm, ready to be a demon just to save you.

"Well, I can see that you're not a human being considering the dark aura you're giving." Dottore smirk.

Xiao didn't speak. Because he knows that he's not the true trouble for the harbinger here. But rather the one that arrived...

"I hope you're ready to experience to breath an unbreathable air, Dottore."

Venti.

With a dark smile, Venti's eyes show bloodlust, unusual to see for someone that's always smiling sweetly.

Dottore's breath hitched. La Signoria already took his gnosis, there's no way he will match against his skills and strength. Then there's this Adeptus, Dottore's clearly cornered. He looked back at you for a second seeing how you're trying to keep yourself awake. Just who are you? Why are you friends with these beings? And how? Those questions were inside Dottore's head, running around wildly.

Dottore glared at the Adeptus.

"Let go of her," Xiao said as he growled.

"We're easy to talk to, Mortal. There won't be any bloodshed if you let go of our dear friend." Venti said.

Dottore's thought wandered back to Venti's real name and when he remembered that this archon had the most kill in the archon war sense shivers down in his spine. But he hid it. It's like stepping on his own pride if he shows any fear.

He gulped.

"Run. Now," Dottore said, and without any hesitation, the agent camouflage including you and caring you away.

Xiao growled as he tried to follow up to the Fatui agent when Dottore tried to stop him, but when he was about to grab Xiao with his blade, he was suddenly thrown up in the air, Venti forcing him to look over to him.

Face to face with a smirking archon. Dottore's eyes widened as he watches Xiao jumping from roof to roof trying to found you and the Fatui agent.

Dottore smiled in glee when he noticed the distressed look on Xiao's face.

"I wouldn't be smiling like that if i were you," Venti threatened with a sweet smile.

Dottore chuckled in which turned into a fit of laughter, Venti scrunched his nose in annoyance as he looked over to Xiao. Seeing his distressed expression, both entities knew that they lost you. Venti's smiled disappeared as he removed the air from Dottore making him flow as he flew towards Xiao.

Dottore had no trouble falling from high ground, but it did break his fall. He chuckled as he tried to stand up but he stumbled by doing so.

Venti did nothing but to pay no attention to the Fatui man. He was more concerned about Xiao who's hands are now trembling in rage as he tried his best not to wear his mask just to look for you and that agent.

"Calm down, Xiao. I'm pretty sure they haven't gone away that far-- let's call her siblings so we can have more helping hand when looking for her." Venti said as he displays a kind smile to Xiao in which baffled the Adeptus but at the same time glad that Venti was able to calm him down, just by a little.

He looked at Venti as he watch him jump down from the roof. He looked so calm-- but Venti wasn't really.

In fact, Venti was already in the verge of starting a wind storm just to stop that agent from running away from the city, but it would cause so many damage and it would be risky. Bloodlust was rising up in Venti.
