Chapter 221: THAT WAS NOT HER BLOOD
It was too late for Lou to escape the attack, thus the only thing in his mind was to protect this red haired woman behind him. He turned around and hugged her, shielding her, as he got ready to take the brunt from the impact. He had his back against the monster.
He swore in his heart that if he managed to come out of this mess alive, he would kill Sabian!
However, Iris shuffled her legs and poked her head from his shoulder and looked the monster right in the eyes, as she cried out loud. "NO! STOP!"
She did that out of instinct, she could feel her heart lurch to her stomach when the monster swung its huge arm toward them, but then stopped only a few inches away from them. He stopped the attack mid air and blinked its small red eyes innocently.
Feeling something was not right, Lou turned his head to see the monster put down its arm and stand there looking all docile, as if the giant creature wouldn’t attack them anymore and this left both of them speechless.
"How did you do that?" Lou asked, his mind whirled rapidly, as he stared at Iris, who was dumbfounded as well.
"I don’t know..." Iris shook her head, but she felt this sensation and the scene was very familiar. It happened once in the past when the monster attacked the mines and she tried to protect Ania.
The monster, at that time also, stopped when she said so, but she thought it was only a fortunate coincidence and didn’t think much about it, after all, it happened only for a few seconds.
"Are you a magic user or something?" Lou furrowed his brows, he observed the girl, but he was pretty sure that she was not a magic user, his informant told him the same. She was a runt from what he knew. It seemed he had to dig deeper into this girl’s background.
