The Dragons Heir

Arc 1/Part 2:Bowel hunter vs Dragon knight (S-RW)

ALEX

Alex stood frozen, his expression a mask of impassivity, as he absorbed the horrifying scene, laid out before him. His crimson eyes flickered momentarily toward the towering figure of the giant and then back to the small girl beside him, their stark difference in size amplifying the tension in the air. But it was the woman commanding the room's attention that drew Alex's full focus—she was the most dangerous presence here.

There was an undeniable beauty about her, a striking elegance that could captivate anyone who dared to look. She resembled a porcelain doll at first glance, delicate and flawless, her skin luminous under the dim light. However, this initial impression quickly faded. Beneath her exquisite exterior lay a depth that hinted at something far more sinister, as if the fragility of her appearance only masked the formidable strength that lay within.

She stood in the middle of the room, blood dripping from the dual daggers she held in her hands. She was wearing a revealing back dress, her long lustrous black hair trailed down to her back. The left part was tied and curled into a braid. The black cape that was placed over the dress only made her look more exotic.

She was undeniably beautiful, a striking vision that could easily captivate anyone who crossed her path. Yet, the sadistic grin plastered across her face twisted that beauty into something profoundly disturbing. It was as if a shadow lurked just beneath her perfect exterior, hinting at a darker nature that set alarm bells ringing in his mind.

Her skin was smooth and unblemished, reminiscent of fine porcelain, giving her an almost doll-like quality. The sheen of her complexion caught the light in a way that rendered her ethereal, as though she belonged not to this world but to some fantastical realm instead. This exquisite yet unsettling appearance felt entirely removed from humanity, making him feel as if he were staring at a store mannequin—a stunning creation but utterly devoid of life.

Just as he was processing the scene, Emilia burst into the room behind him."Alex you need to slow dow-" Her voice, filled with urgency, was abruptly silenced as her gaze fell upon the heart-wrenching sight before them: the colossal figure of the dying giant sprawled helplessly on the ground and the small girl standing at his side, an uncanny presence amidst the chaos. The air in the room turned thick with tension as the chilling reality unfolded, a stark contrast to the surreal beauty that had initially captured his attention.

"Oh my, it seems we have some uninvited guests," the killer remarked, her voice dripping with a sweet, almost sing-song cheerfulness that clashed starkly with the grim scene unfolding. There was an unsettling air of calm about her, as if the chaos around them was merely an everyday occurrence on a typical Friday night. She turned her attention to the two intruders, her lips curling into a disarming smile that somehow didn't reach her cold, calculating eyes.

"Why don't you two come in and join us?" she suggested, gesturing toward the dimly lit interior where shadows danced ominously.

Emilia's heart raced as a shiver ran down her spine in response to the eerie invitation; every instinct in her screamed for her to flee. Her body remained taut, the weight of fear anchoring her in place. Meanwhile, Alex stood beside her, seemingly oblivious to her distress. The only indication he was aware of the killer's presence was the way his fingers tightened around the hilt of Excalibur, his gaze locked on the Assassin, his resolve strengthening as he prepared for what might follow.

He stood tense and alert, as if every muscle in his body were coiled, ready to unleash his blade at the slightest provocation. Despite his outward calm and seemingly indifferent demeanor, a nagging awareness pulsed within him—the woman before him exuded a palpable danger. The gruesome sight of a massive giant sprawled on the ground, his belly grotesquely opened as if to reveal the inner workings of a butchered animal, was more than enough evidence of her lethal nature.
