Chapter 251: I am Not Helping!!-II
Hallow climbed again to Beelzebub's head, trying to see but he couldn't see well. Everything in his eyes was fuzzy and he could barely see a thing. The shadow of the beast was the only thing he could see and being a chick everything beca smaller and harder to see, "Shit! Why are we here anyway! You should have stayed sowhere closer to the village if we are going to tail the two of them!"
"Before getting caught? You could do that but I won't. I still have things to search which why I can't afford getting caught by him." Hallow noticed how Beelzebub's eyes seed to have taken a deeper shadow which didn't stay for long as he had pulled the Demon's hair.
"Where is she! You told she was chased!" But Hallow wasn't able to see a thing. Don't tell him Elise had beco the beast's lunch?! "Quickly tell !"
"Oh, that? I didn't say it was the lass, I was talking about another red-haired woman but it seed her hair wasn't actually red, it was blood." Hallow stomped down from his body quickly, his steps were in anger.
"You lied to !" The chick was offended that he fell to Beelzebub's trick!
Instead of replying, Beelzebub who had raised his hand before his brows suddenly narrowed his eyes, a serious expression ca on his face that Hallow didn't notice at first. "Oh, what's that I see? People dressed in black, it's the dark sorcerers. They are walking to one house. I think that's the house that the lass went in."
"I may be a chick but I will not fall for things twice. Elly wouldn't be alone anyway." As long as Ian is there, she would be fine. That is if they are together... thought Hallow.
Realizing that he was feeling anxious, the chick slapped his cheeks with both his wings. What was he doing?! Was he feeling concerned about Elise's death? He shouldn't be! Grim reapers cannot be attached to a human with a short lifespan, knowing that they would die soon so grim reapers wouldn't interfere with their deaths. But what was he feeling now?
Beelzebub then jumped from the tree, and Hallow seeing him on the ground jumped to his shoulders. "Where are you going?" questioned Hallow. He was itching to go to the village even when deep down he told himself he should not.
"The lass, she is in danger," Beelzebub replied briefly.
Hallow rose both his brows, "I thought you don't concern yourself with Elly."
"My actions changes according to the issue. If the lass dies now, I can't get what I need. I'm going," he announced and Hallow, who was on his shoulders could hear the sound of gone cracking on his back. He turned his head to see wings protruding from Beelzebub's back, tearing his clothes and coat. Unlike the wings of an angel that was made up of feathers, Beelzebub's wings were like a bat. It was smaller in size than those of an angel's but spread wide.
"I-I'm going to! I can't have Elly die now either," answered Hallow, he claid inside that this was not helping Elly because he wants to her from death but the repaynt of cloaks that she made for him to use in Winter.
Beelzebub could see how Hallow's emotions were falling apart and he shrugged his shoulders, "Hang tight then. There is no life insurance when flying with ." Hallow weighed his choice and he then entered Beelzebub's pocket as the Demon flew to the village.
Elise stepped her shoes to the last stair of the basent. The ladder brought her to a deeper place than she thought. Without any window or candles, she could barely make out a few things to see. Worse, Elise tried to have the door open completely but the chanism was made for the door to instantly close as if it had magnets in it.
She used her hand to feel whatever around her, being careful while she was at it as the basent was made by her aunt. To minutes ago, Elise was in disbelief to learn that Angelica was a dark sorceress. While she lives with her, she didn't show any sign of being a person who had magic. It just shows how much of a good actress her aunt was.
When Elise touched the cupboard on the side, she felt a lantern and a matchbox that was half-opened. After lighting the lantern, the basent finally cos to light. Elise was first greeted with a mold sll and a rotten scent. The sll reminded her of how a cow's at was left rotten.
Did Angelica hid the coffins she stole here? wondered Elise to herself. When the bodies were kept out in an open space, it would give off a foul sll and the sll could be what she was slling of.
She continued to walk deeper. Unlike her first guess, the basent was made long even further than the house itself. As there was only a single path, Elise walked straight. She saw so spiders and it was not soon when she arrived at one door.
An uneasy feeling muffled her heart, and she wondered why. Not wanting to waste ti, Elise turned open the doorknob and a sharper putrid sll attacked her. She pulled her hands before her nose. If she didn't have a strong stomach, Elise would have vomited from the decaying sll.
This ti, she was sure the stench ca from a dead body. Elise pulled her handkerchief to cover her nose before she continued inside. In the room she was in, there were candles lighted everywhere. She walked to see how there were a few coffins so were kept over another in a stack, and so were empty.
Elise had gotten to one of the coffins where she saw the body of a woman whose body had rotten to a green color. Her skin was almost peeled off and unable to see the body for too long, Elise pushed the lid of the coffin to shut it close.
She took a step back only to notice that her feet had kicked a candle, not wanting to destroy anything so Ian could further investigate, Elise moves with caution when she saw a luscious casket with a magic circle written under the casket.
The casket was the only different coffin inside the place, being the cleanest one. But Elise's focus was elsewhere on the magic circle written below. What magic circle was this?
