Chapter 237: I Am Going to Kill You (4)
If someone was about to fall, it was only right to catch them. And if it were a man and a woman, it would be the perfect romantic situation, but...
Whoosh.
Anis stepped aside, avoiding Aru, who was falling. She clearly hadn’t expected him to dodge and instinctively righted herself. In that instant, Anis grabbed Aru’s wrist and twisted it. Normally, a snapped wrist would cause pain and fear, but Aru was different.
Swish!
Using the recoil from her twisted wrist, Aru kicked Anis. However, Anis seemed to have anticipated it. He bent down to dodge, then unfastened his belt and swung it.
Whoosh. Click!
The belt straightened and became a bow. It was a garment weapon, a bow forged by Volkanus after being inspired by the Doppleganger, Sefira’s Three Divine Artifacts.
Crack!
The bow struck Aru’s waist, arching her back like a drawn string. Anis showed no mercy, whether Aru was a woman or not. He swept her legs from under her and swiftly pulled restraints from his coat to bind her arms and legs. In an instant, the subdued Aru changed tactics.
“Save me! Anis is trying to sexually assault me!”
Having failed at physical assassination, she aimed to inflict psychological harm. And it worked: Sefira’s soldiers who were patrolling nearby hurried over.
“Lord Anis.”
