Chapter 61 The person he loves is the same prey he will be sacrificing for his vengeance
"What did you do to her?" Orion asked furiously, but Yuki's eyes were not moving, but suddenly, he found the dark aura getting higher from Orion's body.
Orion peeked at her wound, and that was all healed.
And there was not even a scare over her body.
"How is that possible?" Orion let out a gasp, and his eyes widened in shock.
" What did you do to her?" Orion asked and stepped forward to see her wound clearly.
" She is the eternity," Yuki whispered but Felix heard him.
"What?" He asked and Yuki cursed his mouth.
"And what did you do to her?" Felix asked when he got nothing from Yuki.
" How did her wound heal so quickly?" Felix was making him flustered.
"I need to save her," Yuki let out and Felix heard him again.
"You saved her, now you need to tell us what it's about," Felix asked and Yuki turned his stunned eyes at him.
"I do not know; she was lying here, and there is an aura of our master that healed her," Yuki replied, for the sake of saving her.
Orion turned his eyes to the Statue standing straight.
"I am obliged," Orion let out while his eyes were stuck on the statue.
Yuki gasped and stood on his feet.
" She is all right, we need to take her to the bower," Yuki said and stepped to take her into his arms.
"Are you out of your mind? Or do you not want to live longer?" Orion asks and Yuki jumps in fear.
"Do not you even think of touching her. I would kill you." Orion's eyes turned dark, and the dark net of veins was visible around his eyes.
"Orion, he saved her," Felix said, and his anger settled.
"This is the only reason you are being forgiven," Orion warned him.
He took her into his arms and walked ahead.
"Show me the way," he commanded Yuki before leaving.
"Doesn't he know my age?" He asked Felix, who was a visibly old man, Felix chuckled and replied.
"He can see through souls," Felix let out.
"Not a monster can do that," Yuki sneered.
"Not only that, he can deceive you as well as make you follow his command, and many more," Felix turned on the nerve of fear inside his body.
"I would never forgive you for bringing me here," Yuki replied coldly.
"Tell me one thing, are you interested in her?" Felix asked, and Yuki became ferocious.
"Are you out of your senses?" Yuki asked and clenched his jaw.
" She is my daughter," He replied, and Felix chuckled.
"I know, I know, this is just playful teasing," Felix smirked, and that smirk was the main thing that triggered Yuki.
"Stop smirking," Yuki rolled his eyes and walked away.
He showed Orion a chamber, and Orion placed her on the simple kline.
The room was vacant, there was only a thing to get laid, and a chair to sit beside the bed.
The room was painted ivory, and the windows were just above the head of the kline. The room was silent and engulfed in composure.
"Let her retain her inner self," Yuki said and requested to close the door, but Orion was still here.
"We need to go out," Yuki said, and Orion did not even peek at him.
"Close the door, and leave us alone," Orion let out, and that was a prevailing for Yuki.
"But a man and a woman in one place, in one room?" He started questioning, as he was a prestigious monk.
"My mind, my soul does not work like yours, I called and said to be the demon due to my extraordinary power, not the reason I am promiscuous, or have stronger desires." Orion makes him think about his words.
" My powers are my patience, not my weakness," Orion let out, and although being dubious, Yuki closed the door.
Orion's one eye was staring at him as he was closing the door.
Esperanza was sleeping calmly. He walked and sat beside her.
He took her hand in his hand and caressed it gently.
"I can forgive you for everything but apart from dying, I would never harm you, or would let you get harm," He said and she heard it, but was not able to open her eyes.
"There are your traces from my body to my soul," he smiled and bound his hand into hers.
"You have become my life, and I want to tell you, that the day I found you I found my heart and my being,"
"You are my love, and I have placed you in my dreams, and my memories everywhere. I do not remember anything other than you." He let out, and that was a treasure to see how a tough and violent man could be so gentle and harmless in front of his love.
"When you were never in my life, there was no reason to be happy or sad, but everything that was not enough in me has been completed by you," he let out with a smile, and Esperanza took a deep breath, as she was struggling to open her eyes.
"I would never harm you, no matter how hard it would not hurt you, my purpose is to save you,"
He caressed her hair as she slept like a child.
'Maybe I was not able to give you all the happiness that you deserve in your life, but I would give you everything that I will be able to do,"
"My vengeance would not let you live a peaceful life, but I cannot see you living with someone else,"
"I am jealous, I am ruthless, I am a monster, but that monster loves you more than anything in this world," he said.
She heard everything, and a tear fell from her closed eyes.
"You do not need to cry, you need to be happy. I do not smile or laugh, but I miss my laugh and smile so much, and that laugh and smile is you," he said and cleaned her eye.
"You need to get some sleep, good night, take some rest, my love," he said and pecked on her forehead.
Esperanza felt safe in his presence, and she let her mind relax.
She shut down her mind and wanted to cry loudly, but she restrained herself.
" Let me cross that Arctic flaming descend once again, and this time I will be overcoming all three realms of those guardian dragons, and only then I will I be able to have the powers of the golden dragon," he let out, but that was not heard by her, because she had shut her mind.
"After killing that golden dragon, I will get all my yearning and will become the most powerful dragon in this world," he said, and a playful smirk took over his lips.
How flustering it was, the same person he wanted to save from every pain and hurt in his life, was the same person he wanted to destroy and kill for the sake of gaining ultimate powers.
How hard is it going to get when he comes to know that the person he loved the most is the same prey he will be sacrificing for his vengeance?
And they both were oblivious of this truth, one can take life and one can give life, how beautifully the story is going to take place.
Nobody knows what is coming next. Would Esperanza sacrifice her life so that the person she trusted would get his revenge, or on the other side, would Orion let his revenge go for the sake of Esperanza's life?
That was a complete secret, and to know this, let the story unfold itself on its own.
The night went darker, and Orion placed his head on the side of Esperanza.
Esperanza was in deep sleep, but suddenly her mind was captured by some dark forces. She tried to open her eyes, but was not able.
Orion predicted her movement and opened his eyes.
"Hey, Esperanza......," he held her hand, and she clutched his hand as hard as she could.
In her mind, there were dark and horrendous memories roaming.
She was trying hard to get out of that but was not able. In that moment, she didn't see herself standing in front of a giant multi-headed serpent-like monster, that was Orion, who was breathing profoundly into her mind.
His sword was painted with fresh blood, and his body was wounded all over, as the horrific dragon was wounded all over and the flush was completely visible.
" You are powerful even in this form," the giant let out in a thunderous voice.
" You have no idea, how powerful I can get," Orion replied while catching his breath.
"I am perplexed to know your upcoming moves," The giant let out with a smirk, and Orion stood in front of that without hesitation.
But in Esperanza's mind, that was her first time to see a monster like that; the place and the sea were dark and fathomless.
Esperanza listened to me, Orion was trying to wake her, but her body got stiff, and her blood was running into her body aimlessly.
There was unbearable pain that was simmering all over her body, as that giant let out the fiery breath and Orion dodged to escape.
"Ahhhhhh.......," she screamed because she felt her body was on fire, and suddenly her mind got cleared.
She got still and calmly lay on that Kline.
"Esperanza, what's happening to you? Are you listening to me?" Orion was asking her and she was unresponsive at that time.
This is all because she got Orion's blood in her blood, and now everything that Orion has experienced is coming in front of her.
The heavy encroaching darkness was passed, and there was liberating daylight that showed a shift of something sorrowful.
It feels like the weight has been released and the fresh breath is waiting on the doorframe.
The day brings a sense of revelation and rebirth.
On this blissful morning, Esperanza opened her eyes on her own and saw Orion's head reclining on her side.
She sat down abruptly and found herself in some kind of loose clothes.
"What are these?" The clothes were in the color of tangerines, and Esperanza did not like them; she always wears clothes that cover her body.
"What.... What is this......?" Because of her movement, Orion opened his eyes.
He did not sleep but was closing his eyes.
