“Those who have depleted your mana help the wounded! Hold the line, everyone just hold on a little longer! I know that someone will come! Someone will save us for sure!”

Their mana is exhausted and they are panting hard.

The students try to stabilize their breathing as they continue to defeat the unending torrent of attacks form the black clothed men and the Demonic Beasts who selfishly joined the fray.

When they were hunting Demonic Beasts in this area, a group of black clothed men suddenly showed up and attack them for who knows what reason.

What’s worse, when they were fighting with the enemies, somehow a group of wild Demonic Beasts were accidentally attracted by the sound and smell of the blood splattered in the ground.

It has been several hours since the battle begun, their retreat has been difficult.

Even Princess Feme who was leading them just now was suddenly hit by a Water Bear.

A C-ranked Demonic Beast when she protected a girl that was attacked.

They are fine with handling the beast one at a time, but when a huge wave swells up and attack coupled with these strong black clothed men, even the high level instructors that were protecting them was being defeated one by one because they are forced to deplete their stamina.

The Demonic Beasts that shows up from time to time drains their mana. Because they can’t cast powerful enough spells because of the lack of mana, some Demonic Beasts managed to close in on them and cause serious damage.

Worse is that the black clothed men choose at this time to launch their full frontal attack.

About half of the group is in the state of mana depletion or have been wounded, causing their forces to be dwindling.

They conserve their remaining stamina and keep switching the vanguard to hold the up the battle front.

But they don’t know how much longer they can last; they can only hope that another group of students will pass and help them, which is the only hope that keeps them going.

But reality is cruel.

——————————-

Princess Feme’s eyes had turned red and her face already had many traces of tears.

Although she was currently fatally injured, she still held on to her consciousness. She used an icy cold look and stared at the black clothed man in front of her, gritting her teeth tightly, her body slightly quivering!

As for the black clothed man, he was speaking blandly: “From what I know, you’re the famous Beast Princess; Feme Foxtail … am I right?”

“Who are you people ?! Why are you doing this ?!” Feme who was being protected by two girls coldly said.

“Nothing, we just want to ask you to play with us.” The man laughed with an unpleasant voice. His face must be unpleasant similar to his voice.

Ignoring the screaming and sounds of fighting that was happening around them, Feme raised her wounded body with great difficulty. and glared at the two black clothed man and said.

“Who sent you to do this ?! Do you know who we are ?”

The black clothed man looked at the man beside him for a moment and then said: “The Princess is too smart, too bad you’re unable to marry. I wonder what will the Dragonfang Kingdom’s Prince will feel if he knew what will you end up with ?”

The man mockingly said causing Feme to feel even more despair. Her eyes which was already bloodshot from crying became even more distorted.

In helplessness, she still raised her hand and a crimson colored flames appeared from her palm. “Don’t think that you will leave alive if Lyle knows what you did to us! He will kill you for sure!”

Hearing her words, the black clothed man only laughed.

“Don’t resist, obediently come with us so you will suffer a bit less. I haven’t come across such a pretty little princess like you. Perhaps you will later change your mind and think that playing with us turn out to be interesting.”

The man wretchedly looked at the wounded body of Princess Feme and, along with the man beside him, started to smile obscenely.

Feeling the helplessness of the situation, Princess suddenly said blandly: “You bastards, remember this, even if you were to conquer my body you will never conquer my soul.

And I won’t let just anyone play with my body … ”

She suddenly thought of a person, her face showing a smile: ” … except for him! Everyone might thought of him as a Monster, a shameless playboy. And when he speaks, he might sound like a hooligan and a rogue, but the depth of his gaze is a thousand times purer than a beast like you! My body is only for him! And I will die before anyone could touch before him!!”

The black clothed man who was keeping his silence knew who she was referring to and sneered: “You smelly bitch, saying that I am a beast, Hmph! Let us see who will die of ecstasy because of this beast! ”

He suddenly turned around and face the other man standing beside him. “Brother Mar … you should let me d—”

The black clothed man couldn’t finish what he’s saying because something suddenly happened.

“Who do you think you’re thinking of touching ?”

Under the helpless situation, Princess Feme who was prepared to fight until the end suddenly heard that voice.

“Eh…”

Following immediately is something that is beyond the people present’s wildest imagination — something was flying towards the Princess Feme and the others position.

The one which came flying wasn’t an attack magic, but a monster!

Coated with black scales and tail, platinum colored feathered wings, two horns and red fiery eyes — A totally definition of a real Monster!

This terrifying figure rushed in like a black bullet.

With his momentum, the black clothed man’s head who was just looking at Feme with obscene eyes was cut off without any warning.

The head flew into the air and the man’s headless body collapse.

Dead!

Instantly, a blast resounded in the battleground.

It was the sound of a severe shockwave hitting and breaking the ground surface; causing the whole people on the surrounding, even some of the Demonic Beasts were send flying because of the shockwave.

But that was not the sound of destruction of a blow that was produced by some attack.

The one who broke apart the ground was, a lone young man who looked like a terrifying monster that even send shiver to the Demonic Beasts around the place.

————–

Rumble!

There was a loud sound.

Princess Feme only felt a splash of blood, that sprinkled down like raindrops and a headless body falling in the ground with a ‘thud’.

Blood poured out in all directions from the severed neck. And it only struggled a little before falling completely stilled … dead.

Seeing this sudden development, the whole battlefield quieted and turned into a stand still.

Seeing the terrifying figure, whether it’s man or beasts; fear crawled on the deepest part of their beings.

From the time that familiar voice resounded in the whole place to the time of this black clothed man’s horrifying death, not even a second had passed!

What happened ?!

Just what is going on here ?!!

In front of Princess Feme and the two girls who was shocked silly and was scared that they even fell on their butts, the horrifying figure spoke.

“How dare you touch her !?!”

A loose and disheveled, uncontrollable silver colored hair.

Possessing platinum colored feathered wings like some Angel of death, the young man looked down on Feme with a listless eye.

A look that didn’t seem far from her in age.

On top of it, Feme discovered that the terrifying figure looked like an awe-inspiring battle god as he hold his two black thin swords which was emitting crimson flames and lightning sparks.

Looking at that face, Feme couldn’t help but gulped her breath.

Even the people present couldn’t help but also stared at the black monstrous figure in shock; the rest were terrified as he stood in the center of the aura explosion, his clothes were fluttering in the wind like a deity descending from heaven.

“You, you, are……!”

It only took a second but it seemed like a decade in the observers’ eyes. Finally, the mystery was unveiled.

They saw the face under the flying dusts and dirt– his silver hair was dripping wet in blood and was stuck onto his forehead, and his thick eyebrows and his shining smile had made his face which was terrifying because of the black scales, but for some reason even more handsome.

The same thing happened to the two girls protecting her and the other people around them. In their minds, thoughts of a certain boy who stood out for better or for worse.

It was only natural. For a student of the [ Red Rose Academy ], there was no student that didn’t know that young man’s face.

He was the one who was the center of the recent hot issues spreading around in the Academy City.

Like hot pan cake selling in the middle of winter.

“Lyle!!”

While gripping the other shameless pervert M.I.B in an Iron Claw grip, Lyle looked like a demon from another dimension, making those who saw him feel fear.

But right now, Feme didn’t care about that the slightest.

Agitated. She ignored the pain surging on her whole body and the blood that almost looked like a pool beside her as she crawled towards him.

If only she wasn’t gravely injured, she would have rushed towards him and hugged him with all her might!

Even if his appearance change, she will still knew that it was Lyle. Because …

This was the man whom she had fallen for!

Carrying the dragon bloodline on his veins making him a special existence that transcends above others! Even in the Ancient times, Dragons had always been the existence of overlords.

… And this was him!

Her fiancée that was such a heaven defying existence!

Even though she was extremely happy, tears had started to form in her beautiful eyes… These were not tears of sorrow and despair just like a while ago, but tears of joy.

Part of it was the excitement of meeting again after a long period of separation …

Apart of it was the pleasant surprise of his sudden appearance …

— but most of all was the part caused by her rampaging emotions stirred up at his rescue of her like a knight in shining armor on this helpless situation and also the longing for him that she could not put in words …
