Free Web NovelChapter 121: B - Never anger the Demon Princess
SBAM!
The apartment door flies open.
Eliss stands on the threshold, eyes burning with rage as she fixes on Miori — though Aoshi, of course, can’t tell that fury is meant only for her.
His guilt hits him like a wave — the sick feeling of a husband caught with his lover.
Miori meets her gaze, nervous but defiant. Then an arrogant smirk spreads across her face and she grinds her bare breast against Aoshi’s back.
"Get away from him, you filthy whore," Eliss hisses, jabbing a finger at Miori.
"Or what?"
"P-Please, girls — calm down!" Aoshi stammers, prying Miori’s hands away.
"You’ve got some nerve coming here after what you did to Aoshi!" Eliss snaps, her finger still jabbing at Miori like a gun barrel.
"W-Wait — about what happened..." Aoshi cuts in again. "It was all a huge misunderstanding... Miori only did what she did because Renji forced her — not because she wanted to. I’m not mad at her, and neither should you be."
This time, Eliss’s murderous eyes snap to him.
"I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about her ordering Renji to beat you bloody — just to get close to you!"
Aoshi stares at Miori, bewildered. She’s already fastening her bra, buttoning her shirt.
"W-What have you... what have you done?!" Aoshi’s voice cracks with rage.
"Y-You can’t seriously believe something that absurd!" Miori whines, eyes brimming with tears.
How the hell did that little bitch figure it out?! Don’t tell me that idiot Renji got played and spilled everything! If that’s the case... I’ll destroy that cretin.
«Cut the act, Miori. You’re making a fool of yourself. Your little dog told me everything — so get away from him. I won’t have my beloved Aoshi tainted by your filthy blood.»
«How dare you threaten me?!»
Aoshi, meanwhile, freezes in terror — Eliss’s words spark a dark realization in him.
Eliss said she got this information from Renji... and Miori said she hasn’t heard from Renji in days. Could it be...?
«Eliss...» Aoshi murmurs, shaken. «How long ago did Renji tell you these things?»
«Four nights ago. That idiot showed up at the Moonlight thinking he could get me into bed — sad, really. He was bragging about beating you — probably trying to show off and make you look bad, but he miscalculated, poor bastard.»
At those words, Miori’s eyes go wide — she’s reached the exact same conclusion as Aoshi.
"N-No way..." Miori stammers. "Eliss, y-you... you killed Renji?!"
Terrified, shattered — she crumples to her knees, trembling from head to toe. And while the thought of Renji dying for her means nothing to her, that over-the-top reaction isn’t entirely an act.
Who the fuck is this psycho?! And how the hell did she kill Renji? He was an idiot, sure — but he was way stronger than this little bitch. Was she armed? Or did she have someone else do her dirty work? One thing’s for sure — I’ve got a fucking lunatic in front of me who could easily have a weapon on her, after she just threatened to kill me. I can’t afford a single wrong move. And I sure as hell can’t put distance between me and Aoshi — no way she’d strike while I’m this close to him, or risk hurting him.
Miori shuffles forward on her knees, huddling behind Aoshi.
"Aoshi... please, do something... I’m scared! I don’t want to die..." she sobs, playing for his pity.
"No one will die," Aoshi answers, voice steady but thick with a rage toward Miori even greater than what he’d felt when she’d walked out on him.
"I’ll say it one last time — get away from him."
Miori shows no sign she’s backing down.
"So be it. Since you won’t step away on your own, I’ll drag you away myself," Eliss snarls, stalking toward them.
But the moment she gets close enough, Miori’s fear evaporates.
Miori slams her heel down — straight at Eliss’s ankle.
Eliss lets out a low grunt of pain. The blow sends her staggering back, and Miori stares, bewildered.
H-How?! A blow like that should have shattered her ankle — but nothing. Who the hell is this girl?! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"As he was dying, Renji begged me in tears to make you suffer — I can hardly ignore a dying man’s last wish," Eliss smirks, reaching for the nape of Miori’s neck.
Aoshi stares, stunned.
Did Renji really say that? Did he hate her that much? What the hell did she do to him — if instead of begging for his own life, his last thought was of pure hatred for her...?
"Get your fucking hands off me, whore!" Miori screams — she throws her forearm up, swatting at Eliss’s hand just as she reaches for her hair. But once again, her defenses fall flat.
"Eliss, please — stop!" Aoshi shouts in vain, as Eliss seizes Miori by the hair and yanks, ripping a scream from her.
Then Eliss presses her fingertip to Miori’s face, inches from her right eye — the nail hovering a breath from her blue iris.
"You have gorgeous eyes, you know? Like sapphires," Eliss smiles — a grin so cruel it turns Miori’s blood to ice. "So beautiful I’m half-tempted to keep them as a souvenir."
"Y-You’re fucking insane!" Miori screams.
She seizes Eliss by both arms, gripping hard. Then she throws herself backward with everything she’s got, dragging Eliss with her and driving both knees into her chest — using her legs like a spring to catapult Eliss into the wall, slamming her against it with bone-shattering force.
A combination delivered with enough power and precision to drop anyone.
First the double knee to the diaphragm, to wind her — then the slam into the wall, hard enough to shatter a human spine. Banned in every ring Miori ever fought in, yet barely enough to scratch a succubus.
«You handle yourself a hell of a lot better than that imbecile you used to date,» Eliss smirks, rising to her feet as if nothing had happened.
«H-How are you still standing?! It’s impossible — none of this makes sense... nobody gets up that easy after hits like that!» Miori stammers, terrified, backing away step by step.
«Quit wondering how I’m still standing and start worrying how you’re gonna stay on your feet. At this range, you’re not going anywhere.» Eliss points her finger at Miori — just three meters between them. «Goodbye, bitch.»
But an instant before the sinister purple glow flares to life at Eliss’s fingertip...
«Eliss, don’t — please...!» Aoshi throws himself at her feet, wrapping both arms around her legs.
«W-What are you doing, Aoshi?! Let me go!» Eliss snaps.
«NO!» he fires back, hard as stone.
Then Aoshi turns to Miori.
«What the hell are you still doing here?! Get out! NOW!»
«Y-Yes...!» Miori stammers, more terrified than ever.
After a heartbeat of hesitation she bolts from the apartment, running for her life.
Finally, a heavy silence settles over the room.
