I will not die a Villainess's death Chapter 197 197: The Herman's Rite [Pt2]

The queen's blood stained Boras's sword and he threw it away without much care. He needed to get rid of all the evidence of his involvent with the temple so that the source of this chaos could not be traced back to him.

Akane had already gone ahead and made an enemy out of Lucas Dirac and it ant that their boss would co following after them soon enough.

"It was nice knowing you Akane."

Boras whispered while sneaking out of the temple. He knew the internal structure of this place quite well because of all the sneaking around her had done to help Akane out.

And now it was his experience that would help Boras get out of there without being detected.

"Hello, Boras. I heard a few things about what you were planning with Akane. I wonder what gave you the courage to deceive like this."

Boars felt his heart skip a beat as he looked at his boss. The man was looking at him with a calm and serene expression. But there was no hiding the darkness that those eyes hid. His boss was always terrifying but now he looked demonic.

"Boss, that is…I was not….I am sorry?"

There was sothing to be said about the muscular Boras bowing in front of the shorter and thinner figure of his boss.

But size often did not equal power and their boss was far more powerful than anyone in this world. He had to be since he had picked a fight with the fates.

"Rahan, take Boras and make sure he learns what he should have and should not have done. I will take care of things here."

Boras looked toward Rahan, hoping that he would be on Boras's side and assure him that he would not be punished.

After all, Rahan was a pushover and Boras was sure he would be able to convenience him to let Boras go. But that was all wishful thinking since Rahan looked determined to not even look at Boras.

"B-Boss, you are not demotion , right?"

Boras asked, his heart beating faster and faster when his boss refused to answer his question. Rahan also took his arm in his hand and hauled him to his feet.

"It'll be better not to say anything right now. Boss is not in a good mood today."

Rahan whispered these words to Boras and he quickly shut his mouth. He did not need to anger his boss any more than he already had.

But one thing was for certain - the one who was in the most danger right now was Akane. The Head Priest was in a world of his own and now he had both their boss as well as Lucas Dirac going at him.

Around them, the darkness continued to brew and the monsters entered their world. The gate that had been opened was a danger and it would not take long before the fates would start to interfere.

This world had a protective instinct as well. And it would go to any length to conserve its own life.

"We should hurry up. And Rahan, send soone to look over Emperor Chro. I am sure he is having a hard ti dealing with his curse as well."

It was not well known to people, but those cursed orange eyes were a sign of these demons. And since prince Chro was connected with this energy, he would be affected by this invasion as well.

"I cannot believe I am going after Chro Akatsuki while being conscious of what he is. Why am I so nice to people?"

Enma complained as he continued to hide and make his way toward Chro's chambers.

He had decided not to be a part of the ceremony today mainly because he had wanted to avoid any conflict Elysia would get herself into.

He had learned not to concern himself with Elysia if he wanted to live a carefree and long life. That girl attracted more danger than an FL of a comic. And it was not even intentional at this point.

But still, Enma had thought that if he stayed behind, then he would be safe from whatever was about to happen. It had worked during the rebellion ti and Enma wanted the sa to happen this ti as well.

However, what Enma had failed to account for were the events that would be happening in the novel at this point. It was the start of a demonic invasion from the emperor of Akatsuki.

His curse had activated and his brain had been taken over by demons of the other world. That was one of the threats that Adam and Eve had to combat to overco the story.

"E-Everyone run. Get the emperor out of his room."

All around Enma, the guards were running around without looking back. They hastily passed Enma but he paid them no attention.

He had a place to be for now.

"H-Hey, you need to stay out. You cannot go in the emperor's room right now-"

Enma ignored those words. For the first ti in his life, he was being foolish and doing what he should not do. It filled his heart with fear but Enma could not stop himself.

The guards' voices were beginning to fade away around him but Enma continued to push himself further. His arms and his legs were beginning to give under the pressure but Enma did not let that phase him.

He needed to reach the other side of this corridor at any cost.

The magical winds cut along Enma's face and it stung. His small body did not have enough mass to keep him grounded and the winds threatened to knock him off his feet.

But just when Enma felt his feet give in and he was about to be sent flying, his back connected with a solid weight behind his back.

He looked up at two familiar faces and all the courage in his body evaporated in smoke.

"Hey, kid. Did you miss us? Don't look so alard. We are just here to help you out. Right, Rahan?"

It was the sa shaggy-haired man who had helped Rahan escape from custody. And Rahan was here as well which scared Enma.

"W-What are you both doing here? No, more importantly, what are you going to do?"

Enma was suspicious of these two strangers. Their presence here could only spell trouble for him.

If possible, he wanted to do nothing with them and be on his rry way. But it seed like they both had the sa target this ti.

"Awww, don't be like this. We are both allies right now. Don't you want to save Chro as well?"

Boras asked in a light voice and that was what caused Enma to winch. Boras was right that they needed to save Enma.

And from what Enma had ready about Boras in the novel, he was a chill guy who did not seem to have a lot of trouble getting along with strangers.

He also had a strong sense of justice when it was called for so he would not betray Enma if he promised to help.

So Enma gulped and decided to accept their help. That was all he could do for now as well since he had no power of his own. Even if he managed to reach Chro, what help would Enma be able to give him?

"Fine, co with . But don't you dare think you can take advantage of this situation. I am sure it is all your fault anyway."

Boras just looked away, not comfortable with facing Enma right now. Rahan just face-pald behind Enma, not wanting to get involved in this ssy situation.

Since Boras had decided to interfere, he needed to resolve this ss as well. Rahan would not be helping him this ti.

The door opened to show Chro, but he looked far from being fine. His whole face was covered with black lines and he looked like he was in pain right now. His current look made Enma feel sorry for him and he took a step toward Chro when he was pulled back.

And it happened just in ti for an attack to breeze past Enma's ear and land behind him.

"Be careful your friend is not in control of himself right now. You might even lose your life if you are not careful around him"

Rahan warned as he pulled Enma behind his back. Enma could only watch in mute horror as Chro continued to look at him with that muted expression.

And the Chro gave that angry yell which made Enma put his hands on his ear and block that horrible sound out. It sound inhuman and he had to wonder how the other two around him were dealing with it so well.

"Well, looks like we have a situation on our hands. Let's play around a little bit before knocking back to his senses."

And suddenly, Enma did not know if he felt sorry or glad for having these two on his side.
