Chapter 205 - Its Of No Use (1/2)

”You dare go against me like this...?!” Lara angrily snapped as she tried to free herself but surprisingly enough, Marvin was quite strong.

Lara tried to control the boy but unfortunately, it seemed that there was a wall protecting his mind from her influence.

”It's of no use,” Marvin clicked his tongue as he guessed what the girl was trying to do.

Since LeiLei had also given Marvin the ring that Hecathe used to wear, Lara was basically powerless against him.

”LeiLei, kill-” Lara was about to order the woman to kill Marvin just like she had killed Hecathe, however, her words were cut short as Marvin used his left hand to strike the back of LeiLei's neck, immediately knocking her unconscious.

”It looks like your only strong weapon has been disarmed,” Marvin commented with an emotionless voice.

”Marvin, do not fight me!” Lara clenched her fist as she snapped, ”It's not a fight that you can win.”

Marvin let out a small breath that almost sounded like a dry chuckle, ”Do you think I care anymore?”

Marvin raised his head and his eyes still looked to be a golden color.

After defeating Darius, Marvin should not have been able to move around like this nor would he normally have the energy to keep using his ability like this.

When the limited time was up, he should have passed out.

However, oddly enough, he was still standing.

He was awake but at the same time, it also looked as if he was not completely conscious.

”Have you gone crazy?!” Lara gritted out, ”You are still too young and naive. If you kill me today, your end would also not be too far.”

Marvin let out a small sigh as he heard this, ”Death shall be avenged with death. Fairness shall see no title. Under the watchful eyes of the imperial rule, our land shall not forgive sinners!”

Lara gulped as she heard this and couldn't help but tremble as she felt a sense of fear.

Marvin grabbed her by the neck and pulled her up as he asked, ”Do you feel no regret?”

Lara struggled at first but soon understood that it was impossible to get away so she laughed as her face turned red from anger and the pressure of suffocation, ”I have already got my revenge. Why would I feel any regret...?!”

”I see...” Marvin muttered as his grip around the girl's throat tightened.

He chanted something that could not be heard and a warm glow started coming out from the palm of his hands, burning the girl's skin and making her scream in pain.

Lara immediately grabbed Marvin's hand and kicked him away as she freed herself.

She fell down onto the floor and gasped for air as she rubbed her throat.

”You crazy son of a bitc-”

Marvin raised the saber and hacked down as he tried to behead the girl on the spot, but Lara was a bit quicker as she moved away.

”Marvin, let's not do this,” The girl anxiously spoke as beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead, but it seemed that her words were simply not able to reach Marvin whose judgment had been clouded by the sight of his dead friend.

Marvin raised the double-bladed saber once again and used both of his hands to strike down with a single neat swing that was meant to chop the girl in half.

”Damn you!” Lara scrambled back in fear and avoided the saber by just a few inches.

”There is nowhere to run,” Marvin muttered as his glowing golden eyes looked at Lara with a bored gaze.

It was as if the one standing in front of the girl was not Marvin but was a grim reaper who had come to suck out her soul and take it to hell.

Lara gulped as she tried to come up with a way to beat the boy but the more she tried to come up with a plan, the more she felt as if she had already been trapped in here with this monster that was going to devour her soul.

It didn't take her long to realize that if she wanted to survive, she would first need to run away far from here and make sure that this boy was not able to catch up to her.

Lara gritted her teeth and although she felt embarrassed to run away like a coward, since this was a matter concerning her life and death, it was only natural that she would put her embarrassment aside and run with all her might.

Marvin sighed as his eyes followed after the girl who had pushed herself off the ground and ran away, deeper into the passage.
