Legendary Heroes (Mobile Legends Fanfic)

Chapter 54 | Forceful Betrayal

Each step that Alucard took is a regret forming in his heart. His demon hand tightly holding the long bladed knife that he got from the kitchen. "Two steps, three steps..." And so on the Demon inside Alucard's cursed arm said until they finished counting to ten.

How peacefully enchanting Alucard's beautiful gem is in her slumber. With no knowledge that her friend is about to brutally murder her.

The demon inside Alucard disabled him to talk, not wanting him to scream Ruby's name and tell her to wake up.

Alucard's demon arm placed the knife's deadly blade just below Ruby's jaw. Alucard at this moment is screaming inside in terror and fear. He couldn't look away or close his eyes for a long period of time. The demon inside Alucard is forcing him to watch his beloved friend soon getting slaughtered by his own hands. "Say good night to your dear gem. May her haunting dead image crush your heart until you could no longer feel that love that you so seek." The demon said, letting out a diabolical laugh.

Before Alucard's demonic arm could slash Ruby's jaw and splatter her blood everywhere, a sudden large explosion happened outside the building. This shocked him, at the same time the demon lost their control over Alucard's body. The headquarters moved because of the sudden force. As if an earthquake unexpectedly hit it.

Alucard immediately threw the knife a far, panting heavily from trying so hard to regain back control. He is very glad and relieved to not have killed Ruby because of the demon.

The red hooded girl is immediately awoken by her sleep because of the explosion. She sat up, her eyes wide. "What was that?!" She asked Alucard. Her heart accelerating because of the sudden explosion that woke her up from her peaceful sleep. "I-I don't know, but we should go find your dad right now and get the hell out of here." Alucard answered, gently grabbing one of Ruby's hand. He supported her as she stood up to her tiny feet. "Are we going to be safe?" Ruby asked again. Her eyes showed a slight hint of fear.

Alucard slowly let go of Ruby's hand that he was holding to wrap his arms around her to give her a comforting hug. "We'll be safe." Alucard answered, his voice smoothing that it made Ruby calm down. She wrapped her arms around him to return the hug, letting out a sigh out of her pinkish lips. "Thank you, Alu." She said, forming a cute smile on her face.

He dearly wanted to hold her for an eternity. Her warmth gave him happiness and a peace of mind. The sweet fragrance of roses that surrounded Ruby made Alucard feel like he was inside a beautiful garden. But this closeness did not last long.

Roger suddenly kicked the doors wide opened. He held his large gun tightly, his eyes immediately widening once he saw the two holding each other close. "What's going on here?" Roger asked, growling rather viciously. He instantly made Alucard fall off the couch because of his sudden entrance. "Oh shit-I mean Roger! I was just comforting Ruby! She got terribly scared by the unexpected explosion outside..." Alucard answered as he quickly stood up straight to his feet. "Yeah, great story, boy." Roger scoffed, glancing at Alucard bitterly. He saw him getting close to his daughter clear as the day. He did tell Alucard not to flirt with Ruby and that didn't look like flirting, but it still made him mad. "It's true, papa! Don't get mad at Alucard, please!" Ruby begged, showing off her immensely cute puppy face.

Oh, it was so hard to resist for Roger. Such cuteness cannot be dealt with so he instantly got defeated. He will never say no to that face, he'll feel guilt if he say no to her and see her disappointed face.

Roger stopped growling, letting out a frustrated sigh of defeat. "Fine," Roger muttered before staring at Alucard. "I'll let you go, for now." Roger added before walking over to them. He gently grabbed one of Ruby's hand. "Let's go somewhere safer before something bad happens. I don't want you getting injured." Roger said, his voice no longer sounding anger like earlier, but sounded soft and protective. Ruby smiled happily, hugging her beloved father. "Okay!" She said before running off somewhere to get her scythe.
