The woman laughed again. It's as if Khan's remarks were the joke of the century. "Oh, I'm so scared-" He smiled disdainfully towards Khan.
Then the woman looked at Khan's face, from top to bottom, and back at his face again. His brows curled next to him, then a flirtatious smile slowly flashed across his lips.
"For a man as handsome as you are, it would be a pity to waste himself just for the sake of an ugly snot girl like him. You better be with me. I'd love to receive you by my side. We'll be a very compatible couple" the woman wooed with a mischievous smile.
Shanum stiffened and immediately inflamed hearing the woman's blatant seduction. You cheap lady! She could have seduced my lover in front of my face.
Although the woman did not know about her relationship with Khan, Shanum still felt unacceptable. He was just about to open his mouth when he felt someone clutching his hand. Shanum turned his head, and found Sergei shaking his head then gesturing to pay attention back to the front.
Khan laughed in a sexy hoarse tone, and it provoked even more enchanted reactions in the woman. The man tightened his grip on the sword. It was as if he wanted to attack the woman immediately. "A very interesting offer. Unfortunately I'm not interested." Khan looked disgusted at the woman. "You're not my type, too cheap!" said again.
The woman froze. Khan insulted him in front of a lot of people. "You're a brash!" hiss the woman. Khan laughed again, but then he fell silent. His gaze was sharp, cold and freezing. The woman reacted by jerking back from her position. She wondered who this man was? His aura looks authoritative and domineering. Until he felt like bowing and respecting her.
Shanum who saw the scene was happy, amazingly satisfied to hear Khan's words earlier. His heart was pounding within his chest, rhythmically with the warmth spreading throughout his blood.
The bond between them felt like it was coming together. And he tried to cover the smile that had burst from his lips, as he felt a line of sweet words echoing in their bonds.
You're still the prettiest, Shasha.
"Why is your face blushing like that?" sissy Sergei suddenly while elbowing his arm. Shanum rolled his eyeballs, then gestured shut up to Sergei. The man tilted his head even more, watching Shanum, curious to see the girl's sudden strange reaction.
Shanum tried to act to cover up his anxiety under Sergei's sharp gaze. It's really hard if you're friends with a famous tracker. Everything that is hidden never escapes his observation.
Suddenly the woman gave a warning to the men next to her to come forward to attack them. Khan and Sergei had already prepared with their swords. As they were clashing swords, from within the darkness in front of them, a sharp spear flashed, tearing apart the long jacket Shanum was wearing and knocking it down on the ground.
The four men were disappointed. They were fooled by the woman's trick. From the corner of his eye Khan saw Sofia lunging towards Shanum who was lying down. Trying to hit the opponent with his strength, Khan moved to the side then hit the nape of his opponent's man with the handle of a sword. He wanted to help Shanum immediately against Sofia's attack.
But the enemy kept coming to attack him blindly. Sergei and Khan's bodyguards could not help Shanum either. They have to fight off a wave of attacks from Sofia's men, which turns out to be quite a lot.
In his place, Shanum attempted to get up immediately, and removed the spear that was holding his long jacket off the ground. But when he was focusing on the spear, a sudden attack came back. He reflexively avoided a sword swinging towards him by tilting his body.
The female General's sword did not hit her and stuck into the ground next to Shanum's head. The girl was dumbfounded to see the sword that almost hit her head. Although still in shock, when Sofia returned to attack, she automatically moved to hit the woman with the power of her golden light.
Shanum's knowledge of martial arts turned out to be very useful. He can bring out these martial arts combined with his magic power. The woman crashed down, after Shanum dodged back and hit her chest hard.
Feeling an opportunity, Shanum tried to pull the spear back from the ground, and this time he succeeded. The girl stood up while holding a spear. The woman growled furiously as she did not manage to injure Shanum. Now the woman was attaching her fire power to her sword.
Shanum followed the woman. He smeared the tip of his spear with fire as well. Sofia was stunned for a moment to see Shanum had the same fire power. But then the woman moved to attack again while shouting loudly.
Shanum smiled amusedly, for some reason he felt that the woman was no match for being a certain Clan General. It's not that he underestimated his gender. He only felt that the woman was not suitable to be on the battlefield, even the woman's screams still sounded very melodious in her ears. How could he lead a war, if his voice was that bright?
"You should be a singer, General Merdu. Your voice is better suited to the stage than the stage of battle" Shanum scoffed as he blocked the speed of the sword. The sound of clashing swords and spears rang out all around them loudly.
"You think you can underestimate me, English Girl!" The woman drew her sword, then began to slash her sword again into Shanum's stomach. Shanum again dodged by retreating backwards. The heat of the fire he felt. The fire hit his clothes, and he patted them directly with his power to extinguish them.
The woman attacked again, Shanum held on. Shanum attacked, the woman deflected him. They move nimble-attacking, fending off, and stabbing. The two were dancing an energetic war dance.
At some point, the woman cheated. He threw a white powder from his hand into Shanum's eyes. That cunning woman had already planned the cheating. Whether what powder he threw, Shanum's eyes automatically felt a pain.
The girl was unable to dodge, she retreated a few steps back, twisted her body, and stopped from the fight to wipe her eyes, and patted her. But this was a fatal omission.
Sofia immediately took the opportunity to attack Shanum. He was about to kill the girl, a sword pointed at his heart. Khan, who had finished crippling all the men who attacked him, suddenly froze. He saw Sofia's movements preparing to attack Shanum, when the girl was not ready.
Khan's body moved towards the girl. He ran very fast, and jumped towards his lover. Sofia's attack went wrong. The sword of fire did not hit Shanum, but hit Khan. The Great of the Altan Clan saved his heart at the expense of his own body.
Shanum's gaze was startled as he could already look back. He was shocked when suddenly someone jumped and hit him. Shanum tumbled down with the man to the ground, with his body cuddled.
Khan's body was wounded by a sword stab and burns. Shanum felt the man's embrace weaken, Khan lying limp on the ground while enduring the pain. Shanum tried to get up and check the man's wounds with teary eyes.
Sofia who saw her prey managed to escape her prick froze for a moment. Especially when he saw the man he admired had to be injured for saving the girl's life. I don't know why Sofia can't move. His body felt paralyzed, as he saw Shanum screaming bitterly at Khan's condition.
While Shanum was busy treating Khan, Sergei was already standing beside Shanum. He stared at Sofia. Abdan and Jullian flank the two on the other side. Their eyes were full of warnings towards the woman so as not to try to attack Shanum again.
While on standby, they saw Khan lying with stab wounds and severe burns. Shanum suffered only cuts and bruises. The girl tried to channel her healing power. But Khan shook his head.
"Don't go on, I can still hold it. No need to spend your energy on me. You have to fight it first. We need to finish this mission soon."
"You sure, Adri?" whispered Shanum. Khan nodded again as he grimaced with the pain. Shanum pressed his lips against Khan's forehead and whispered again, "I'll be back."
After saying so, Shanum stood up, he turned his head towards the woman. He looked at her with a cruel look.
"Shut your mouth, ******! I don't care about your insults. I only care about him. And since you've hurt her, now accept my vengeance." Shanum moved his hand.
Suddenly the rest of the large burnt former tree trunk floated in the air, the trunk moved closer to Sofia in incredible speed. Shanum squinted his eyes. From a distance he arranged for the tree to hit the woman.
The general was thrown quite far away. The tree came back to him and hit him back. This time the woman fought back. He deflected with his fire power. Shanum clucked in annoyance, upon seeing the tree shredded into shreds.
Sergei who saw Shanum's actions gasped in shock. His eyes looked seriously at Shanum. This girl has telekinesis abilities as well.
"So that's just your strength" the woman sneered with a grin. Shanum snorted and moved his hand back. At the same time, he unleashed the power of his golden light. The golden light was moving towards the General.
And the General was prepared to fight with the power of his fire. They are fighting each other with power. The power of light against the power of fire. Explosions and sparks were seen around the battlefield.
Those who watched it did not dare to move in the slightest, and seemed to be holding their breath. Waiting tensely for who won.
Moments later, the female General began to look tired. The woman's forehead began to constrict, blood was seen flowing out of her nose. The power of the flames it emitted began to dim. Seeing his opponent start to let his guard down, Shanum instantly stamped out his strength by adding to the portion of his golden light rate.
The General glared at the flow of Shanum's strength which began to erode his fire power. The earth trembled, the wind blew fiercely as Shanum exerted all of his light power. In the end the fire power of the General dimmed down. He flinched, then fell and was dragged on the ground.
Shanum did not just release his power, the light was transformed into a binding tendril, and directed around the woman's body. The woman screamed while trying to escape.
Shanum lifted him up and pointed him at the burning tree whose trunk was still standing firmly. He held the woman tied up there while smiling triumphantly.
The girl did not appear to be out of breath or feel tired at all. He felt the adrenaline had taken over his entire body. His eyes flashed golden, as well as his black hair, fluttering surrounded by golden light.
Everyone who was there stood there while Sofia, the female General was still trying to break the grip of the golden tendril from her body. He moved to the right and to the left holding the tendril while issuing his swearing.
Sofia even tried to bring out her fire power again. But his efforts went in vain, the light was not broken by him. Shanum's strength was indeed unusually strong. The only one who ever managed to compensate him was Chinua, his ancestor.
Shanum observed Sofia's efforts while smiling cynically. As he watched the woman begin to stare at him sharply and throw him with a fireball from his position, Shanum tightened the bond of light. Sofia starts having trouble breathing. His face paled and his tongue stuck out.
Seeing that the leader was in danger, some people from the other party tried to make a move wanting to help. But Shanum was already preparing to anticipate it. The golden tendrils moved to hold the men together, tying their chests tightly together, until they all fell to the ground holding tight.
After seeing the bound opponents already motionless, Shanum loosened the ties on their chests. He turned back to the General by moving the tendril and tying the woman's hand. Then loosened the ties on his chest. The woman immediately coughed loudly and tried to inhale the air.
"All of you, no one can try to help this woman or any of your comrades! If you do not heed my words, your fate will be the same as theirs." Shanum pointed towards the victims who were being bound motionless on the ground.
The rest of the men who had not been paralyzed from the enemy became not struggling to hear Shanum's call. They threw their swords some distance away from where they were standing, and did not dare to bring out their fire power. By acting like that, they confirmed that they gave up on losing.
"You two please tie those who have given up and gather them in one place." Shanum gave orders to Jullian and Abdan. "If anyone dies, please take care of his burial" he added in a stern voice. The two immediately moved to do the thing that Shanum had ordered. Sergei also helped.
After all the men's hands and feet were perfectly bound, the girl untied Sofia's chest. He lowered his body still in a position tied to his hands and feet.
Shanum then returned to Khan. He knelt down and pressed his palm on the injured man's shoulder. "How are you doing, Adri?" shanum asked softly.
Khan moved and opened his eyes. He smiled warmly at the girl's greeting. "I'm getting better. And, your act was amazing, honey. You're fit to be my partner."
"Oh yeah, can you see it?" Shanum asked as he rubbed the man's dirty cheeks with his fingers. A look of affection was seen in his eyes.
"I can close my eyes and see it from our bondage." Khan then held Shanum's hand on his cheek, looking at the girl deeply.
"I'm sorry for my behavior after you swam earlier, Shasha. I've been acting like a sulking child." Khan breathed deeply. "I'm disappointed you didn't involve me in your trauma healing just yet. I became anxious to myself if something happened to you back then-" Khan did not continue his words because Shanum stuck his index finger on the man's lips, and shook his head.
"Shhh, it's Adri. It's over, and I'm fine to this day. I promise you, I will next involve you in whatever matters to me. At least I'll try to tell you first. Okay!"
Khan nodded his head with his eyes sparkling with appreciation. "Please be patient with me, yes" he said again as he peeked at the girl's finger. "I hope you can act the same way as me, Adri. We're still learning to understand each other." Shanum smiled at Khan.
The wound on Khan's shoulder began to close. And the man was helped by Shanum sitting up, then slowly got up. The two then walked over to Sofia. Shanum approached her and without being told to directly attach his palm to heal the wounds on the woman's body. Khan smiled faintly at the kindness of his girl. Although he could act fiercely, the girl remained merciful.
As for Sofia's reaction, Shanum's act of channeling healing energy caused Sofia's eyes to widen. He was stunned as he felt his aching body begin to cloud his pain, and the wounds on his body slowly began to close.
The woman looked towards Khan and Shanum with a confused and curious look. "Who are you two? And why are you also being targeted by so many people, Girl Ingusan?"
Shanum snorted and pressed harder on one of the wounds, causing Sofia to grimace in pain. "My name is Shanum, not Girl Ingusan" she protested while remaining focused on giving her healing energy.
"I know." The woman grinned towards him. "And my name is Sofia." The woman mentioned her name to Shanum. "I know," Shanum replied replying to the woman's earlier remark. As Sofia recovered, Shanum removed her hand from her body.
"By the way, why did you say my girl was targeted by so many people, Sofia? And who's after him?" Khan asked as he stared intently at the woman.
Sofia gulped her saliva, her face looking deathly pale. The woman's expression looked nervous. Maybe he also said Shanum was targeted by many people. "Why don't you answer, Sofia," insisted Khan. "My-my..a-ku, I-I'm sorry I can't say." Sofia answered stammeredly and looked even more restless.
