The Demon King's Paladin Part 1 Vol 2.

Chapter 286. A Dream Of A Calamity

                                                                   Sarah Ericsson's Point Of View

It's cold... Where am I? I'm drifting down... What's this feeling... My chest, it feels... Empty? And so cold? I look at my chest after that strange feeling became too strong... A hole? How? Wait... I was fighting... I ran on top of that giant's head and was about to kill it and then... That God... He attacked me with some kind of plant.

" Sarah!"

" Hm? JOHN!?"

I heard My Love's voice, but he's not around me... I'm in a black void and I'm just drifting in it, it's comfortable, but I want to go back.

" Anna... Heal... Break through..."

His words, they're like whispers, am I hearing him while he heals me? That must be the case.

/ Woosh./

Ah, my chest, the cold empty feeling is giving way. On the edges of it, I feel warmth again... John?... No, this is Anna's mana. Why can't John heal just heal me?

" That would be because of me, Fool."

" What!?"

Just as my chest began to feel better, a sickening voice spoke to me, I sat up to see the God Of The Blackwood standing in the void along with me.

" What's the matter? Confused? Of course you are. I mean, here I am, a God, in your dreams. I wonder how this happened? Couldn't have been my attack that had a small amount of my mana imbued in it, right?"

" What do you want!?"

I yell at him. He just laughs at me. He tries to walk towards me as I float aimlessly. He got closer and closer, until something strange happened.

/WHOOM!/

A bright light surrounded me like I was under the bright lights of my wedding reception again. Not just that, but I felt it, this was John's mana.

/SHING!/

Just as I came to the realization that John had begun to heal me, a beam of light shot out from the source that was healing me, it splintered and broke into 10s of small bullets that rammed into the God Of The Blackwoods.

" HARHH!"

The light harmed the God and it seemed to be effective at it, I haven't heard such a genuine reaction of pain from our enemy since we started this fight, at least until now. Green and black blood began to drip and fall from the body of the God, the light was obviously winning against him. Just as it seemed that the fight was finished...

/Swoosh./

The light had disappeared. Both from around me and the bullets hitting the God. What happened to John!?

" Hahahaha! You think I'd just let him do something like that!? No! I have a reason why I did all of this! Do you think I took you down because of how much I need those guardian troops!? Of course, not you fool!"

A large grin formed on the bloodied face of the God Of The Blackwood as he began to gloat.

" Now then for what I'm truly here for!"

He began to walk towards me. He came closer and closer to me. As he walked, his injuries healed, and his smile continued to grow wider and wider as he began to speak.

" You see, it's so simple! I don't even know why I didn't think of doing this while he was asleep. While he and the other one are protected by those traitorous heathens, you're unprotected! I can bend you to my will without any issue! Curse your destiny girl, for that is the reason the last thing you'll see before your death is your hands holding the heart of that Paladin!"
