Everything goes in slow motion in front of Klaus' eyes as he focuses his senses to the max. He can hear the heartbeats of Irina, Shadya, and his own heart, which is beating much faster than usual.
Killing all those necromancers was really nice as it made him feel the thrill of the hunt again after so many years alone in the darkness, but now, facing Shadya, he feels something, unlike anything he's ever felt before.
Shadya doesn't seem like s prey or even his enemy; the situation could be different if her ambition didn't put Irina in danger. Klaus doesn't hate her; he just knows he needs to kill her to keep the fairy safe.
So he doesn't think too much about it, just acts, avoiding the big black hands and heading straight for Shadya.
Standing a meter away from her, he can observe how her face is beautiful, her body hot and elegant, and even in the middle of a miasma of bodies, the natural scent of her body is quite pleasant.
[It's a shame...] Klaus can't help but think as he looks into Shadya's eyes.
And even though he was moving at such high speed, he gets surprised when her eyes focused on him. [How???]
*Whoosh!!*
Klaus quickly moves his hand toward Shadya; the miasma seems to create a natural barrier around her, but he uses all his strength against the miasma's resistance and reaches her body, grabbing her neck.
"AH!!!" Shadya lets out a moan that sounds more like pleasure than pain.
[DAMN!!!] Klaus tries to end it quickly by breaking Shadya's neck, but no matter how much force he uses, his hands just can't hurt her.
His overall power is clearly at the Martial Lord Realm level, but after drinking his blood and using the life energy of hundreds of disciples, Shadya is at a higher level, probably as strong as someone from the Martial King Realm.
She looks into his crimson eyes and smiles. "Do you see now? You don't want to kill me."
Shadya's gaze moves Klaus's most profound feelings, bringing back painful memories as well as arousing the connection she created by using her blood in the ritual.
A part of him refuses to hurt her, but he knows he can't let her live either, so he uses all his determination and strength to tighten the grip on her neck.
"DIEEEEEE!!!!" Klaus grits his teeth as he spins his body, using kinetic force to throw Shadya's body into the nearest wall.
*BAM* *BOOM!!!*
Her body hits the wall so hard that she crosses it, a corridor, and another wall before rolling on the floor of another room.
Those walls are very thick and made of hard stones, yet Shadya is unharmed. She actually has a satisfied smile on her face because she saw Klaus' reluctance to hurt her.
She gets up and tries to speak in her usual confident tone. "You can't ki-"
*BAM*
But before she can finish speaking, Klaus reaches there and brutally kicks her in the face.
Shadya is again thrown against a wall and goes through it, falling into another room, but despite such a strong blow, her face and whole body are still unharmed.
She again gets up. "You-"
*BAM*
Klaus moves using his maximum speed and slams Shadya's head into the floor, making a small crater around her, yet, he fails to harm her.
But he doesn't give up and hits her repeatedly, each punch harder, destroying his own skin, flesh, and damaging his bones.
*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*
However, no matter how hard he hits Shadya, that sinister miasma seems to protect her body externally and internally, making his blows ineffective.
Irina follows them, watching the fight closely, but she doesn't even think about meddling as she can barely track their movements with her eyes, let alone be helpful.
After destroying many walls, Klaus throws Shadya against one that doesn't completely break; that looks like the inside of a giant rock or a mountain.
He quickly reaches her and grabs her neck with both hands, pressing her body against that wall. "Why don't you just die?!?"
Shadya doesn't even try to fight back; she just runs her hands over Klaus' arms to his neck and then starts stroking his face. "Why would I die when something good finally happened in my life?"
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ Klaus can see the sadness in Shadya's eyes; he understands that she also has painful memories and hopes for a better future, but her future directly converges with his future with Irina.
He fears what will happen if he drinks Shadya's blood, but that protective miasma leaves him no choice, so he bites her neck.
His fangs are truly amazing weapons as they pierce through that powerful miasma and Shadya's skin. Then his concerns come true when just a drop of her blood touches his fangs, making powerful emotions arise inside him.
"Ahh~~!!" Shadya lets out a moan of pleasure and hugs Klaus as she enjoys the feeling of having him penetrate her body. "I knew you wanted it."
Klaus can't do anything to stop Shadya's blood from strengthening the connection with her that already exists within him. Her blood isn't as good as Irina's, but he quickly becomes addicted to it as well.
[No! I can't give in!!] He understands that Shadya already expects that outcome; she studied his connection with Irina during that whole week and is now using her blood to create more bonds between them.
"You can drink more…" Shadya tells Klaus in a loving tone. "That dirty fairy isn't the only one willing to give it to you."
"Klaus!!!" Irina understands what is happening and runs toward them.
The fairy's voice reminds Klaus of how pure her feelings are, contrary to Shadya's endless ambition. Then he digs his fangs even deeper into her neck and rips a chunk out of it.
"FUCK!!!" Shadya is in a lot of pain as she quickly tries to cover up the wound to keep it from bleeding further.
"Stay away!" Klaus knows that Shadya wouldn't be stopped by that wound alone, so he tells Irina to step aside.
He prepares to attack the necromancer again, but the fact that she smiles at him is confusing as hell.
"Hahaha..." Shadya laughs as the miasma magically closes her wound quickly. "It's okay if you want to be rude to me; unlike her and any other woman, I can accept everything about you, even your most feral side."
Klaus can't help but feel a little sorry for Shadya; she seems not only power-hungry but also desperate to be loved. And a part of him wants to give her that love, but he knows he would never fully trust her, so letting her keep living is a risk he doesn't want to take.
"You are crazy." He attacks again, pressing her against the wall; he knows he can't drink her blood, so he's going to have to find another way to hurt her without using his fangs.
"Why I'm crazy?" Shadya asks in an ironic tone and quickly continues. "I'm crazy because I see how compatible we are!?? Don't you also have a crazy and wild side??"
"You're a fucking human!!" Klaus slams Shadya's body against the wall again, creating tremors throughout. "And I kill humans, don't you understand?! How do you think we could have a happy future together??"
She looks into his eyes. "Humans hurt you, and now you hurt them, I got it... some people hurt me too, and I'll go after them... we will go together."
"Also..." She lovingly smiles as she opens her mouth, revealing two long fangs, which she then starts to lick. "I already gave up my humanity for you... I can do anything for you."
[Anything?] Klaus can't stop ideas from popping into his mind; if Shadya is really willing to do Anything for him, could she behave and not hurt Irina?
[NO! I can't trust her!!] He shakes his head as he remembers everything she did, especially creating that situation where Jared cut Irina's wings off while he couldn't do anything but watch.
In addition to the harm Shadya already did to Irina, she killed her own people, people who trusted her, just because of her ambitions; she'll always do what's best for her alone, and that's why he'll never be able to trust her.
"Why are you resisting the inevitable?" Shadya asks as she strokes Klaus' face. "I can see it in your eyes that you want me."
He keeps a grip on her neck, but the miasma prevents him from doing anything else. "No matter what trick you did on me, I will still kill you."
