Chapter Twenty One: The Combat part 3

"I'm not a liar." She said firmly.

"Oh really?" I pressed my hand against my chest, pretending to be surprised. "That's surprising. Because as far as I know, you were the one who stabbed me repeatedly. And suddenly it came out that it was YOU who got hurt? That's insane." I laughed, enjoying the lies when I knew the truth.

"Okay, Cassandra. Since that's what you believe. There's nothing I can do about it. Do you know why? Because no matter how hard I try to say that this dress I'm wearing is WHITE, it will still be BLACK in YOUR EYES."

"You're just saying nonsense!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with frustration and disbelief.

I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Then, I punched her in the stomach, channeling my anger into my fist. Immediately, Storm came rushing towards me and slapped me across the face. I grinned, staring intently at Storm.

"You're not involved. So don't interfere!" I shouted, throwing a punch at him. "Stay put! Don't you dare move until I say so!"

The chain around his neck appeared again, and his dark eyes turned crimson. I frowned. I had control over him. Whenever I pleased.

"And you!" I pointed at Dylan, Kyle, Klenn, and Lin. "Don't you dare interfere either!"

I saw them sitting down with smiles on their faces, seemingly enjoying the moment. Tsk!

"Now, let's start this epic combat," I said with a smirk, shifting my gaze between Ysabel and Cassandra. "But I have one rule – you can't use your demons."

If I'm going to engage in this battle with these two formidable ladies, I should have the advantage, especially considering Ysabel's powerful demon. It surpasses my current level.

"Huh! Dream on! We can summon our demons whenever we desire," Ysabel retorted.

"Alright, you can use your demons. But remember, I have my loyal servant right here," I pointed to Storm, who was visibly struggling against my command.

"With just one command, all he has to say is the word 'DIE,' and both of you will face immediate defeat. Cassandra, how would you feel to be vanquished by your future husband? I would love to witness your reaction," I taunted her with a smirk.

"You want to have fun? Fine! Let's commence this thrilling combat!" Cassandra replied, her emotions running high.

I grinned and swiftly delivered a kick to Cassandra's stomach. In response, Ysabel swiftly kicked the back of my knee, causing me to kneel. Taking advantage of the situation, Cassandra began slapping me across the face. It stung! I regained my footing and executed a back-kick on Ysabel, followed by an elbow strike to Cassandra's chest. I grabbed Cassandra's wrist and twisted her arm, leaning in to whisper into her ear,

"Do you desire to experience the agony of being stabbed repeatedly?" She struggled, prompting me to tighten my grip. When she remained silent, I shouted into her ear, "WHAT?! ANSWER ME!!"

"Let me go!"

"That's not the answer to my question!" I delivered a forceful knee strike to the back of her knee, causing her to collapse onto the sand. Swiftly, I straddled her back and grabbed her collar. Relentlessly, I landed a series of punches on her face until someone kicked the back of my head. I tumbled onto the sand, my vision blurring. I saw two Cassandras as my sight doubled. She continued raining punches on my face, unrelenting, until blood began to flow from my mouth.

**Cough, cough**. I coughed up blood and managed to stand up, just as Cassandra did the same. She glared at Ysabel and nodded. Ysabel approached me, gripping both of my arms, and forcibly raised me to my feet.
