Angelic Demon (Darker Series #1)

Chapter 38

Seven

"Seven!"

Angelus ran directly towards me after she saw me kneeling and tied with enormous chains.

I looked at her and shook my head. She's in danger and she must not come towards me. This is all a trap and she's the target. Aisthus is flying in the air and he's more powerful up there. Crow hurriedly ran after Angelus and protected her while Aisthus is waiting for the right time to attack.

"N-no!" I tried to shout but my voice is broken. It faded after I shouted repeatedly earlier.

She grabbed my shoulders and cupped my face using her other hand. Her tears are flowing in her eyes as she scanned my cuts and bruises. Aisthus gave these things to me earlier after he caught me talking with Eight.

"A-anong nangyari sayo? B-bakit ka nagkaganito?" She stammered.

I coughed a blood from my mouth and took a deep breath. My body is full of wounds because of the lashes that Aisthus gave me. I can't feel my back because of the open wounds. My shirt was ripped and the blood all over my body is thicker than my sweats. The pain is killing me, but not as much as I see Angelus crying because of my situation.

"Protect yourself, don't mind me," I whispered.

Umiling siya sa akin at patuloy parin ang paghawak niya sa mukha ko.

"Angelus, you're the target. Don't be away from me," said Crow and let his wings freed.

Crow flew up high and attacked Aisthus. The latter is laughing while he keeps on throwing numerous fireballs to Crow. We are still far from the very center of the underworld and no demon had noticed everything that is happening here.

"Syete, lumaban ka muna. Huwag kang mawawala, ayoko, hindi ako papayag," Angelus cried again and tried to untangle the chains in my back.

"Protect yourself, you must protect yourself," I told her.

She must live and must continue living for she is not just a mere mortal. Angelus is another mediocre who had the blood of a demon and an angel. She's powerful than anyone in this world. She must keep living to protect the underworld and the upperworld. She can't die. She must live.

"Fuck!"

Crow shouted and we saw him being hit by Aisthus' power. A dark energy made from a fireball caught his arm and cause a lot of damage.

She flew back on us while he's holding his arms. He can fight Aisthus, but he doesn't have enough power to do so. Aisthus is still more powerful than the both of us.

"Crow!" Angelus shouted and went to Crow. She checked him and tried to look at his wound.

"I'm fine, don't mind me," said Crow and stood up.

Aisthus made a ghastly laugh before he spoke.

"You impotent demons! You can't even give me a simple scratch!" He mocked and laughed hardly.

"Tumahimik ka! Ang panget mo!" Angelus shouted angrily.

"Yes I am," Aisthus answered. "But ugliness also means power and control."

"No! Ugliness doesn't mean anything. You're ugly! That's it! Period!"

A smirk formed in my lips and I gently shook my head. Angelus will not be Angelus without her filthy mouth. I can't imagine her being a mediocre. She might scare all the other low class demons.

"Enjoy your remaining hours, Angelus. You can mock me all you want, but it doesn't mean that I'm not gonna eliminate the three of you."

"Shut up!" Crow shouted. "You're still the jealous demon until now, Aisthus. You keep on trying to be on top but you always failed. Is this your way of cheating?"
