Chapter 792 One against countless

"Sam!"

Lilou yelled after slaying another pureblooded vampire to the ground. She looked up, catching Samael and Zero clash midair. "Tch!" She clicked her tongue, annoyed at the smug grin plastered across her husband's face. He was enjoying it.

"I told him not to get carried away," she mumbled, hearing a loud yell from her side. Lilou raised her scythe to block the attack on instinct. The piercing metal clashing rang in her ear. "Why... can't he stick to the plan?" came out through her gritted teeth, kicking the person who attacked her before leaving a slash across the man's body. "Samael La Crox!" When Samael heard his wife's voice echo like thunder, he snapped back to his senses and sent Zero flying. As Zero crashed against the wall, he landed safely on the second floor of the greenhouse. "What, my love?" he asked out of plain curiosity, tilting his head to the side. He had his hand on his hip, gazing at her, who was in the middle of the fight. "Do you, perhaps, need my help?"

"The plan — ugh!" Lilou grunted as she pushed another enemy back while kicking another one away. "Stick to the plan, Sam!"

Samael frowned. "There's a plan!"

"My —" Her frustration spiked, baring her fangs as she struck another person. "Why are these people keep coming at me?!" Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

"Because you are their enemy, my love!"

"Wish I would." Samael's lips stretched even broader. "Because if I don't, this will be your last night. No more second chances."

"Hah." Zero only let out a dry laugh before their fierce duel raged on once again. Meanwhile, Lilou stood motionless on the same spot while her eyes scanned the knights surrounding her. She counted in her head and realized it was a bad idea to count. They were just too many of them. "Surrender now, Lilou Bloodfang!" yelled a knight as he took a step forth. "We do not want to hurt you."

The corner of Lilou's lips curled up into a smirk. "It seemed Zero was truly prepared. But alas... how dare you call me a Bloodfang when I carry the name of my husband?"

"We are ordered to restrain His Majesty's bride. We do not want to hurt you, but if you resist, we cannot guarantee your safety."

"Of course." Lilou laughed, twirling her gigantic scythe until it was held diagonally on her back. "Zero doesn't need my hands and feet, nor did he need my eyes, ears, or tongue. For as long as he can have my womb and bear his child, he will not care about other things."

Her eyelids drooped until they were partially closed, smirking. "What a disgusting idea to ever cross a man, but then again, men are a bunch of simpletons who only think of fathering an heir."

Fortunately, Samael was too busy to comment. Although he heard her and Zero mocked him whilst clashing with him, his focus was on the battle. They only got another hour before they retreat. They had to finish the job. "Don't worry. The only time Zero will have me is when I am dead." A glint flickered across her eyes as one eye turned red; the other maintained the original viridescent color. "Or when my family is dead. I don't think they would even allow someone like your king to touch my dead body."

Her lips curled up as her remarks were the clear answer the knights sought. Lilou would not surrender over her dead body. And thus, the knights' who were ordered to restrain her held their weapons, observing the growing aura emanating from her. One against countless. Lilou stood proud, carrying the pride of the Bloodfang, who had fallen to the schemes of the Moriarty, and her heart as a mother and Samael's wife.

In a snap of a finger, a loud roar came out of her lips and she disappeared from her vantage point, fighting anyone who crossed the invisible line she had created.
