C24 That night!

Evil Elizabeth got quieter over time, and her eyes returned to normal. She gave one last look at Maxilin before slowly closing her eyes and falling into Maxilin’s arms.

I had caught up with her. The dark veins in her face began to vanish. Kazia approached them gently and knelt beside them. Maxilin took her in his arms and carried her neatly to the bed. He sat her down on the bed and gently stroked her head. He was staring at her sweet, innocent features.

But then he questioned, "Kazia, you did know there was anything wrong with the maid?" I didn’t hear her say anything in response to my question. Her lack of responsiveness is to blame for the current situation.

"Kazia, tell me the truth," I said again, taking a quick breath.

I turned my attention to her, but she was staring at the ground. After a little while, she tilted her head and gave a small nod.

She grabbed a quill and a piece of paper with her. She took a seat in the chair and began writing everything down. Kazia handed me the paper when she finished writing.

I began reading the paper.

‘It was a month ago that the beast came to our town for the first time. One night, the master and a few others set out to capture the beast. The home was empty except for Elizabeth and me. But a bang on the door awakened me in the middle of the night. The sound likewise startled Elizabeth awake.

To open the door, we headed downstairs. ‘But, as I opened the door, I spotted the master there, who had been severely hurt. ‘

That night.

“Father has arrived, Kazia.” “I’ll open the door,” Elizabeth stated. I grabbed Elizabeth’s hands and motioned for her not to do this. Who knows where it’s from?

I walked downstairs with the lantern and opened the front door. When I unlocked the door, my eyes widened in shock.

‘Master!’

“Father!” gasped Elizabeth. “Ka-Kazia,” Alex said weakly. I was too scared to look at Master in that way, and I couldn’t think of anything else to do now because I was so terrified. And who will help us right now? Nobody will open the door. But, whatever the case, I must act. Right now, I have to bring the local doctor here. Master grabbed my shoulder and said, “Kaz-ia.”

I attempted to hold him. I saw that blood was constantly gushing from his chest.

I sat him down in the living room.

“ahh”..

“Father, what’s wrong?” Elizabeth said, her eyes welling up with tears. “I’m okay, honey,” Alex responded after taking a long breath. As he caressed Elizabeth’s delicate face, he smiled.

I arched my brows and grabbed Elizabeth. I attempted to persuade Elizabeth to stay with her father by using my hands to communicate with him. She gave a gentle nod. I looked at Master and showed him signal to say, ‘MASTER, I’M GOING TO TAKE THE PHYSICIAN HERE.‘ PLEASE DO NOT STOP TALKING WITH LITTLE MS.‘

As Kazia stated, she left without wasting any time.

In the room.

“Father, does it hurt?” Elizabeth said as she grasped her father’s hand. “I’m okay, my darling,” Alex grinned after taking a long breath. Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck with such force.

Alex was staring at Elizabeth when he suddenly realized something and slowly attempted to stand up. His expression was somber. “Father, where are you going?” Elizabeth said as she saw her father stand. Alex said nothing to her. He made a leisurely ascent to the second floor. “Father,” Elizabeth said as she took his hand in hers.

“I’m going to my room, Elizabeth.” He stated, “I need to do something.” “However, father, Kazia warned me not to leave you alone,” she explained.

As he grabbed the stairwells, Alex came to a halt.

I murmured tiredly, “Elizabeth, stay here.” Please don’t follow me. I have an important task to complete. “

Alex walked carefully to his room, as he had stated. It startled Elizabeth when she heard her father’s harsh tone towards her. She simply sat on the stairway in front of his door, waiting for Kazia.

Alex’s room.

“umm”…

Alex knelt alongside the bed, grunting in agony. He clenched his fists and gazed at the ground, his mind racing.

Alex began to consider what he had heard from the beast.

Not long ago.

Nucklelavee knocks everyone out in a flash and rushes over to Alex. Alex is shrieking in anguish, his hand badly injured. He’s crawling on the sidewalk in an attempt to save his life.After killing everyone, Nuckelavee comes to a halt behind him.

He groans and calls out, “Alex.” As he said, he gripped Alex's neck with his long hand. He snatches him off the ground.

Alex tries but fails to free himself. Then he overhears Nuckelavee uttering the words “Alex.” “One of the city’s most powerful monster hunters.”

‘keke’...

“You should have to follow our lord,” he said. “Go to hell with your lord,” Alex yelled angrily and in agony as he heard him. When Nuckelavee heard Alex, he tilted his head slightly and muttered, “I can’t get you guys that from where you guys have this power to talk like this even if you guys are near death.”

As he said, he burst out laughing.

Alex didn’t say anything, instead attempting to free himself from his grip. “But now is not the proper moment to discuss this,” he added again, sighing. “A thunderstorm is coming.” And I hate rain as much as I do filthy hunters such as yourselves. “

“Then what are you waiting for?” Alex said, looking at him. “Kill me.” “What would happen to your daughter if I killed you right now?” Nuckelave smirked as he heard him.

“Don’t even dare to think of it,” Alex stuttered, his eyes furrowed. Nuckelavee said, “She has a pure, innocent soul and heart.” “You bastard, I’ll kill you,” Alex yelled.

‘kekekeek’.

He laughed out loud once again, and his creepy sounds began to drift about the place. Nuckelavee suddenly drew Alex closer to him and placed his sharp nail on Alex’s chest. He began to sink his nails into his heart slow.

Alex gasped in agony and began shouting.

‘ahhh’.

“Your wife will take your daughter with her if you die here,” Nuckelavee remarked. Alex gave him a bewildered look and asked, “What are you saying?” in a whiny tone.Meanwhile, Nuckelavee smiled as Alex heard a sweet voice. As he listened, his brow furrowed.

He overheard, “my love.”

‘Its Enma’.

Nuckelavee whispered quickly, “Yeah, it’s your wife.” He popped to the ground once Nuckelavee dropped him. Alex heard the voice again, “Look at me, my darling,“ He attempted to return his gaze to her. When he turned around, he saw his wife standing there. “Enma,” he murmured. “Love, I want to meet our daughter,” Enma said with a smile and a hand extended. “This pain is too much for me to bear.” “Please, darling, help me,” Enma pleaded.

Alex struggled to stand and crawled toward Enma. Alex murmured, “Enma, you?” “Love, they seized my soul,” Enma said tearfully. “ Please lend me a hand. Let me be with my baby for a day. “

Alex tripped on a rock and landed on the sands. “Love,” Enma said as she moved closer to Alex, “Don’t you want me again, Alex?”

Enma gently touched Alex’s face after they shared an intense gaze. “Alex, I want to come.” “Alex, please embrace me,” Enma said.

Alex’s aside.

When Enma stroked my face, I felt an indescribable pleasure. For a brief moment, I thought I had gone back in time. I couldn’t even resist my wife’s touch.

“Can’t you do this for me, Alex?” Enma asked. I’m not sure what happened to me at that point. I gave a slight nod and gently stroked her hand. Enma smiled at me and said, “Now you are bound with me, Alex.” “No one will be able to separate us.”

I instantly felt an ache in the left side of my chest when she uttered it. I grabbed my chest with my hands and regained consciousness at the same moment.

Oh, crap! What exactly have I done? I made a deal with the devil. When I gazed up at the Enma, I saw a ruthless demon standing in front of me.

The vicious devil instantly laughed, and all went black.
