The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 158

Azere looked at Aston and shoot him a questioning glance. “How can I be sure that you are after our welfare? Or you are after the medallion?” she asked, gauging his true intention in coming over to Laswich Mountain to help them.

Aston looked at the woman he tried killing every day due to the time loop, then his eyes were drawn to the medallions floating in the air. The medallions must be the ones that activated the time loop. He cleared his throat. “Well… I do have intention in the begging… but as you can see… after I saw Betty lying on the floor bathing in her blood I realized that the supreme witch won’t spare my life as well. That’s is why I’m trying to help Betty grant her last wish and to keep you girls safe from harm. I swear, I come here to help, not to steal the medallions,” he gave a lengthy explanation.

Azere released a deep sigh. Trusting a person who tries to kill her every day is outright stupid but the sincerity she saw in his eyes right now convince her otherwise. She was wondering if the supreme witch and his men are already inside the house? There is only one way to find out. She waved her hand and spoke, “Give me the view of the entire house!” she commanded.

A floating mirror suddenly materialized in the air. The mirror gives live coverage of the things currently happening in the house.

Aston and Azere were greeted with the sight of the supreme witch and his men checking all the nooks and crannies of the house.

“They’re not leaving yet?” Aston asked, his eyes glued to the activities shown in the mirror.

Azere sighed deeply. “I think they’re not planning on leaving soon…” she commented. She’s getting worried about Olga, she might arrive at the place and get caught by the supreme witch and his men. She has to do something to warn her!

She waved her hand and the magical butterfly appeared in the air. “Inform Olga not to come here because the enemy swarmed the whole place!” she ordered.

The butterfly nod its head and disappeared from the room instantly.

Aston looked at Azere. “Inform also the girl Sabrina that the enemy is looking for her and the medallion on her neck. She must hide somewhere safe,” he said.

Azere shook her head. “Sabrina is missing from the cave including her boyfriend and the other girl name Amara who resides there as well. The three of them went missing. Olga and I have no idea of their location as of this moment,” she informed him.

A crease appeared on Aston’s forehead. “Sabrina is missing? Who took her and her companions away from the cave?” he asked.

Azere shook her head. “I have no idea…” she answered in a frustrated manner.

Aston was confused. “The supreme witch is not the one responsible for Sabrina and her companions’ disappearance because if he is the one responsible… he won’t be here trying to find you and me,” he said.

“Exactly!” Azere spoke.

“Then who is it?” Aston asked.

“Olga believes that Amara, the woman who entered the cave and joined the couple was the culprit but we have no direct evidence pointing that she was the one who kidnap the couple,” Azere explained.

“I see…” Aston murmured and lowered himself on the floor, pondering about the whole thing.

Azere looked at her aggressor. “Where is my teacher’s dead body?” she asked, her voice trembling with demotion.

Aston saw the sorrow in Azere’s eyes. “I’m sorry for your loss, I am. Although, Betty and I are not really close – we’re good acquaintances to each other. Regarding her body… All I can remember is that a blinding light suddenly appeared in the room the moment she passed away. When the light was gone, her body was gone from the floor as well. I’m confused until now why her body disappeared just like that. I guess, the light took her body away,” he said.

Azere’s brows knitted together. “What did you say-? A light appeared in the middle of the room and Mother’s body was gone?”

“Yup! That’s what exactly happened during that tragic moment,” Aston replied.

Suddenly, Azere smiled brightly. “I think I know where is my master’s body!”

“Where?” Aston asked quizzically.

“Secret! Just stay here and don’t leave the room! I’ll be back!” Azere said.

“Wait… were are you going?” Aston asked.

“I’m going to find my teacher’s body!” Azere replied.

“But you can’t go out, your life is in danger! The Supreme Witch and his men are still in the house and they won’t be leaving anytime soon,” Aston reminded her.

“I know. Don’t worry, I know what to do. Don’t plan on stealing the medallions while I’m not here, or you will end up vanishing just like Maera and her assistant!” Azere warned him.

Awareness dawned on Aston’s face. “Y-you mean, the girls are still here? In this room? Alive?” he asked.

“Yup! They are lost in space!” Azere joked and vanished from the room in the blink of an eye.

Aston roamed his eyes around the room. If Maera and Hilda are still alive, then where are they right now? If they’re still in this room-? Why he can’t see them or even hear their voices?

What kind of room is this?

Then he looked at the two medallions floating in the air. Stealing them won’t be a good thing! He will resist the temptation at all cost! Because right now, he can feel that there are pair of eyes staring at him! Watching his every move! But when he looked around, he can’t see anyone!

Creepy room!

He should have gone with Azere!

He remained seated on the floor, shutting everything from his consciousnesses. He was trying to locate Hilda and Maera’s whereabouts inside the room. He wants to know if they’re still alive and to communicate with them if given the chance.

However, no matter how much power he tried to use, he still can’t get through the walls to find them.

Then all of a sudden, someone poked him on his side. When he looked around to find the culprit, he didn’t find anyone or anything… he scratches his head in confusion… what is it then?

Creepy room!

He released a deep sigh.

He looked at the door and stood up, time to leave this creepy room!

When he tried to open the door it won’t open up! He tried teleporting in his mind, a few minutes later, he noticed that his teleporting capability failed as well. Crap! He now becomes a prisoner of this creepy room!

Damn!

He has no choice but to wait for Azere’s return!

Where the hell is that woman?

He went to the other area of the room and lowered himself on the floor. This time he keeps his eyes open, just in case he will be poked again.

A few minutes later, a hairy hand appeared and poke Aston’s arm.

“Who the hell it is!? Come out!” he shouted, annoyed by the hand making fun of him.

Suddenly, the two floating medallions rushed to his location and hovered around his head. He tried to capture them with his hands but they can’t be touched, they can only be seen. It’s like they are two pieces of hologram medallions, not real!

A deep confusion emerged on Aston’s face. “What the hell!? Are they making fun of me?”

Suddenly the two medallions bathed his whole body with light, a few seconds later, he discovered that he was standing frozen on the ground, he can’t move his body! He can only move his eyeballs!

What’s going on!?

Oh, no! Are they going to slaughter him?

This is not good!

In the blink of an eye, Azere materialized in the middle of the room.

And the two medallions went back to their original position.

Aston can finally move his body. Great relief washed over him. “Thank goodness! You finally arrived!” he gushes.

Azere looked at him quizzically. “Why? What’s wrong? You look like you have seen a ghost?”

“This is a creepy room! Take me out of here!” he demanded.

“But why?” Azere raised a brow in confusion.

“Somebody is poking my body parts and the two medallions bathed me with light and then freeze me in the process!” Aston whined.

Azere let out a giggle and dismissed his protest, “Don’t take it to heart. They’re just having fun!”

“Fun!? What kind of fun is that!? Just open the door and let me out!” he demanded.

Azere sighed. “In case you didn’t know… the Supreme Witch and his men are still in the house waiting for us to come out from our hiding place. Are you capable enough to fight them head-on?” she asked.

Aston sighed. “Well…”

Azere rolled her eyes. “That’s what I’m saying… we need a good plan to fight them,” she said.

Aston looked at the medallions. “Those medallions, what can they do? Can’t they help us?”

“Good question…” Azere said and looked at the two medallions floating in the air.

Meanwhile…

In the house.

The supreme witch and his men gathered in the living room discussing Aston’s sudden disappearance.

“My lord, we can’t find Aston and the women here in this house,” the leader of the men reported.

“I know, but I can still smell a faint scent of Aston in this place. Let’s continue looking around, maybe there is a secret room or tunnel that leads to a secret place somewhere. Check the walls! Inform me if you notice anything out of ordinary. We won’t leave this place unless we captured the women and Aston! Spread out now!” he barked his order.

“Aye, my lord!” the men replied in unison.

The men scattered around the house to check for any signs of the secret room or passage located somewhere.
