Chapter 148: Awakening the monster in him
Meanwhile, Elliana who was finally able to get a hold of her touch on the ground, looked up into Sebastian’s eyes, feeling grateful to him for not leaving her hand.
If he wanted, he could have left her and stood straight to protect himself, but he is taking the blow with her.
"I will also protect you," Elliana smiled at Sebastian, who narrowed his eyes before huffing.
"Shut up, will you? Will you listen to me? Just keep your head on my chest. I won’t let anything happen to you," Sebastian said, and Elliana smiled before opening her palm wide to form the shield around them so he didn’t get hurt too much either while protecting her.
She smiled when the shield started forming, and took a deep breath before pressing her head further into Sebastian’s chest.
Sebastian noticed the sudden change too.
The ground and the small pebbles that were supposed to scratch his back like they were doing earlier were not hitting him anymore.
He narrowed his eyes before he noticed a tree with an elongated branch.
Good. They can use this to stop the motion before he can jump down with her in his arms.
They wouldn’t have gotten hit so many times if their bodies hadn’t touched the mountain surface. It would’ve been rather okay if they had fallen straight down.
Sebastian sighed and was about to hold the branch when he felt a sudden push out of nowhere, making them fall straight into the cliff, and he widened his eyes.
