82 Purple Swirling Light

When Anna slowly raised her head up to see who had intervened the expected strike she anxiously waited for, Roshan was standing right in front of her, shielding her from the attack but he was injured as those claws had left a deep scar on his chest.

Her eyes went round and she gasped at the sight, shock and worry glistened in her irises seeing he was injured but his face barely flinched.

He only succeeded in blocking the other clawed hand from touching her and his eyes glimmered a crimson red, but in undeniable fury.

“I hate it when people don’t listen.” He growled and for the first time, Anna witnessed Roshan’s nails grow into the exact same claws and with a speed as fast as lightning, those clawed hands of his scarred the cloaked man straight in his chest, followed by an unexpected heavy blow landing on his left jaw and the impact tossed him few feets away from Roshan, but he regained himself and landed on his two feet rather than slamming into a wall.

A brooding silence fell on the dungeon, as though the world had gone completely still and pulseless, and it only turned heavier when the two beings locked gaze, their glances met like crossed swords and it glinted with unspoken primal rage.

Freya, who hid behind a corner watched the two powerful demons get into a deadly fight that left her shuddering in fear and it left her thinking; How did his highness get to know about this in the first place?

She pursed her lips, worried that the man in a cloak might end up hurting Roshan and her brain moved fast, thinking of a meaningful way to end this chaos without blowing her own cover.

Her gaze shifted to Anna who hadn’t stopped fighting the effect of the drug she blew into her face and her eyes widened in astonishment seeing the weak human struggling to get to her feet. The drug was meant to make her pass out but she’s struggling to keep herself awake.

This was way too much for an ordinary human to handle. How is she doing this? First it was the poison and now she’s resisting the drug?? Do humans tend to have their own special powers?

.....

“She keeps surprising me.” Freya had to admit and she hid away again when Azazel and Levi showed up at the fighting scene. The two confused demons stopped in their tracks after seeing Roshan and a man in Black cloak stand before each other, exchanging deadly looks that said a lot of things that words couldn’t.

Azazel was planning on heading to his duty post at the limbo when he sensed a very strong demonic aura in the palace and he had to come check things for himself.

“What is happening here?” It was not his thing to intervene in such duo’s but that demonic aura he sensed emitting from the black cloaked being was too strong for him to ignore and his icy blue eyes shifted to the man.

The wound on Roshan’s chest healed up and his fiery gaze was locked on the cloaked man who stood a few distance away from him, away from all of them.

“Reveal yourself you bastard!” Roshan cursed, but the man in a black cloak suddenly chuckled darkly before standing straight and meeting Roshan’s stare.

“I might have changed my body, but I wasn’t expecting you to forget about me.” The man in a cloak pulled it over his head, revealing a completely different human face, but his crimson eyes, the powerful aura and the whiteness of his skin already made Roshan figure out who he was.

“Uncle?”

He grinned, “you never disappoint me.”

Azazel and Levi stood their ground while Azazel silently cursed himself for not ending the man’s life back at the forest.

Now he’s gone ahead to practice the forbidden magic of switching bodies.

Roshan stared in disbelief at the body his uncle currently resides in, obviously it was the body of a young man and his appearance was normal. Anna’s eyes equally widened after seeing he was no one else but Roshan’s uncle, but in an entirely different body??

“Did you come to showcase your new body or are you here for some tea?” Roshan asked, already bored.

“I’ve had enough on my plate, but I’ll have to run now. In the meantime, try saving your precious human.” His lips pulled to the side, revealing a mocking sneer.

Before Roshan could understand what his uncle meant, an invisible force was sent directly at Anna’s way, pushing her backwards until she fell from the window.

“Ahh!” She screamed the moment she realized she had fallen. There was basically nothing she could hold onto to stop herself from falling, nor could her already weak body fight off the force sent her way, leading her to fall off the palace building.

“Anna!” Roshan’s eyes dilated horrifically after witnessing her fall from the window and several emotions crossed his face at that minute, knowing it was a fall a human could never survive.

“Bye bye.” His uncle waved before drawing his new pawn beside him, but unknown to him, a purple light swirled around Freya’s finger and she secretly sent it after Anna.

Roshan didn’t wait to face his uncle and jumped out of the window without thinking, going after her.

Azazel’s deadly stare landed on his uncle while Levi’s eyes turned a bright red. A huge lightning ball formed on Levi’s palms and when he sent the disastrous light at his uncle’s direction, the two Demons vanished out of sight before it got a chance to hit them, leading the lightning bolt to hit the wall instead and erupting a ‘BOOM’ sound that made them look away.

“Dang it! He escaped again.” Levi groaned out his frustration after the heavy dust had cleared away, revealing nothing in particular as only the two of them were left standing in the quiet dungeon.

Azazel’s mind slowly drifted to the people who were currently falling from the palace walls and his eyes widened.

“Roshan.”

They both hurried to the window and looked down to see the height and it was super high, so high to the extent they couldn’t see the ground as it was covered by heavy fog. Roshan and Annalise were nowhere to be seen either.

“Ahh!!” Anna’s frightened screams as she fell were silenced after spotting Roshan coming for her, her eyes widened and he reached his hand out to her.

“Hold my hand.”

Anna stared at his outstretched hand but she could barely move as fear had held her body down. The gravity was pulling her down a little too fast and the wind whistled furiously against her ears, fluttering her hair that kept touching her face and bringing water from her eyes.

“Give me your hand.” He said more loudly this time around and Anna finally stretched out her right hand. She tried reaching for his hand but as she struggled, their hands refused to meet.

“I can’t reach it.” She was near sobbing and a part of Roshan felt like he had been painfully stabbed just watching her reaction.

“Keep trying, come on.” He encouraged which was something he rarely did. Anna mustered up enough strength and stretched out her hands again, trying to reach for his and after a few struggling, their hands met and Roshan quickly pulled her into his arms, an embrace that made her feel oddly safe despite the fact they were still falling at an incredible speed.

“Roshan.” She stared at his face but unlike her who was already shading tears, he looked more relaxed and his Hazel-green eyes settled on hers.

“Close your eyes Anna.” He said but she was afraid, she wanted to avert her stares from his and look down but he didn’t let her, knowing it’d only frighten her more.

“Don’t.”

She met his stare again.

“Close your eyes.” His tone came out soft and it calmed her a little bit, just staring into his beautiful calm eyes already made her feel safe and her heart raced, not because of the fall, but because of him.

Anna did as he told her and closed her eyes, holding onto him tightly as she buried her face on his neck. When Roshan looked down himself, instead of seeing the ground beneath him, a purple swirling light came in the form of a portal and he watched it enlarge.

“What the_”

The purple swirling light suddenly grew wide enough, sucking Anna and Roshan in before closing up completely.

Azazel and Levi rushed to the next window and saw them get sucked in by a magic portal.

“Oh oh.”

Levi and Azazel exchanged glances before looking at the empty ground before them.

Where did they go?
