THE LAST HOBBIT'S

51 - Man With Black Magic

Sofia's facial expression looked very bad. He puffed his cheeks and who looked flushed from feeling very upset. Currently, she is walking towards the festival wearing traditional clothes that are commonly used by girls in this place.

"With wooden slippers and I also have to slow down my steps. What good is this hard-to-move clothing?" Sofia cursed, but kept trying to walk. He blamed Arslan for what happened to him.

Sofia several times noticed the surroundings and then took a breath. He walked in a place where a village girl once disappeared when returning home from the festival.

".............."

Around Sofia there are not too many lanterns so the lighting in this place is quite minimal. He began to get nervous when he was alone walking and the sound he heard was his wooden sandal and his heartbeat.

The longer, the more uncomfortable Sofia felt. The festivities of the festival were still far away and he had not seen anyone but himself.

Sofia just looked straight ahead without knowing there was a black shadow that began to form on the ground, appearing to move like a wave.

"........... Where is Arslan?" Sofia tries to relieve her nervousness. His feet were getting closer to the black shadow and he almost stepped on it if something did not dart.

"Crevaison Lux!"

The voice of an exclamation was very familiar Sofia. Someone stood before him and with a short body. He flinched, "Arslan?!"

"Back off," Arslan opened his voice. He held a dagger in his right hand and his facial expression looked so solemn.

The Crevaison Lux was Arslan's light-piercing attack and he pointed the spot at a black shadowy blob on the ground. Sofia who just saw him also looked shocked to open her mouth because she did not believe it.

"What the hell is that?!" sofia's voice sounded nervous. "Did I almost step on it?!"

Arslan did not answer Sofia's question. He focused on the moving black hole and it just disappeared. This incident is certainly surprising, even Sofia was jumped by it.

"Arslan, what happened exactly?! Please tell me!" Sofia looks scared.

Arslan himself circulated his views before finally opening his voice. He said without a tone, "The black shadow is after you and it looks like he's also the one who kidnapped the girls in this village."

"But what kind of creature is that?"

"Behind you! Head down!" Arslan exclaimed and made Sofia spontaneously do what she was called.

Arslan quickly darted and came back to attack. The prick of light coming out from her dagger lunged at the black shadow that appeared on the wall, right behind Sofia.

!!

The black shadow disappeared again. Arslan was upset because his attack could not hit the creature who knew what it was.

"Arslan!" Sofia exclaims. He saw that there was a black hole forming not far in front of him and a head appeared.

The figure has a pale face with sharp canine teeth. The eye color that Arslan saw was as red as blood with black pupils. The subject also had a small horn on the left side of his forehead and had long black hair.

The sound when the fangs were rubbing against Sofia made it close its ears with both hands. On the other hand, Arslan prepared for the worst possible event that this creature he saw attacked.

"Do you know the girl's flesh will get louder if her age continues to grow! So don't interrupt and get out of the way!"

!!

The monster speaks, Sofia is shocked and spontaneously calls out Arslan's name. He was not carrying his bow and the clothes he was wearing were not at all suitable for fighting. The situation is clearly so difficult.

"A-arslan...."

"Stay behind me" Arslan opened his voice. He noticed the creature before him and this figure actually came from the human race, but studied forbidden magic to the point of making it monstrous.

"Well you say, where is Mr Wesley's daughter you kidnapped?!" Arslan said coldly to the terrible figure before him.

"Daughter? Who do you mean?" the creature remained inside the black hole and then said, "I've eaten a lot of girls. How do I know who you're referring to,"

"Expiritual" Sofia took refuge behind Arslan and then said. "Mister Wesley you kidnapped last night! She was a sick girl who disappeared in her own room. You must have kidnapped her!"

"Beautiful girl, than you think of anyone else... You better come here to be my dinner."

!!

Sofia is surprised, she holds Arslan's shoulder tightly and asks to be protected. Right now, he did not even know where Natur and the enemy before him were like they had different powers from all the opponents he had faced.

"A-Arslan, what kind of creature is he really?" Sofia open the sound. The question made Arslan glance slightly at him.

With an expression that is still very wary, Arslan explained. "You just have to know that he's human, but learn black magic. Magic that uses the lives of other creatures to increase its power,"

"It's impossible...." Sofia looks really shocked. "Is there such magic?!"

"You've seen for yourself before your eyes, can't that still be evidence?" arslan's voice sounded muffled. He said, "Put back a little and be careful with the attack!"

Just as Arslan spoke, the creature before him disappeared along with the black hole. The atmosphere instantly changed, even Sofia became very anxious.

"A-arslan!"
