Toxic Empress

Teleportation Magic Circle

An assassin jumped from behind Xena's back, the assassin unsheathed his sword towards Xena, it was fortunate that Xena moved faster as Xander's screams warned her. Xena jumped away from the assassin, now she formed a sword from his poison.

“Who are they really? It's been to the number of times they've targeted me,” muttered Xena.

Currently they were surrounded, over twenty invisible assassins surrounded the movements of the two of them. Xander tells Xena not to stay away from him, worried that something bad will happen to Xena if she lets Xena move away. Xander's purple-flame-coated blue sword, slowly drifting sharply wounded the assassins. Xena also moves to slash the poison into the bodies of the killers, Xena and Xander easily cut them all in a few attacks.

“Xena, don't go too far from me,” Xander said.

“Huh? Do you think I am weak? Even though I am a woman, I am not a weak woman.”

A few minutes later, they finally finished killing the entire killer. Xena tried to observe the killer's corpse, but strangely when he touched the body of his killer, suddenly his corpse disappeared and turned into ashes. There were no murderous corpses left except for the sword they had used to attack. Then Xena picked up one sword which she thought was a little strange.

“Xander, this sword has a black rose emblem. Do you know anything about this emblem?” ask Xena.

Xander immediately snatched the sword from Xena, he took a good look at the black rose emblem that was engraved neatly on the sword hilt.

‘Not wrong again, this killer was sent by the man? Did he intentionally want to kill Xena? Or...’

A magic circle suddenly appeared from the ground surface, the black magic circle appeared in every corner of the place. Xander immediately panicked, the time around them also stopped, they were completely trapped in danger. In between his panic, Xander immediately held Xena, of course, this action reaped rejection from Xena.

“Why are you holding me? Quickly put me down! I want to see that magic circle,” pinta Xena thrashing.

“Please just according this time, I beg you, Xena. I don't want to lose you anymore,” said Xander begged Xena wholeheartedly. The look on Xander's face dimmed, his voice trembling for no apparent reason.

Somehow Xena felt a deep sadness behind Xander's words, she chose to obey Xander. Although Xena did not know what Xander meant to treat her and worried about her like this, but her premonition said to follow Xander's whole words. Then Xena looked back, she was shocked as a collection of black magic circles followed behind them, as if the circle was chasing after and targeting the two of them.

“What kind of magic circle is it? Why does the magic circle move?” ask Xena.

“It was a teleportation magic circle, that magic circle was chasing you. If you step on one of those circles, then you will surely arrive at a terrible place,” replied Xander.

Xander continued to run and fly from the pursuit of the magic circle, even though they ran as far as possible, the magic circle did not give up chasing them. Xena only realized that those around her were now motionless, a great danger was confronting the two.

“Xander! Hurry along! The magic circle is getting closer!” exclaim Xena panicked.

Xander increased his flying speed, he tried to cross the limits of his ability so that Xena survived the pursuit of the teleportation magic circle. Fatigue began to approach Xander's body, he could not increase his flying speed anymore, they had been flying for more than an hour.

‘We can't keep running like this, I have to figure out a way to get rid of that damn magic circle. Xander also almost lost all his energy, at least I should try to do something, Xena's inner’.

“I managed to destroy some of his magic circles, you don't push yourself too much to fly. Relax your body and let me take care of that shitty magic circle,” Xena said.

Xander entrusted everything to Xena, she only needed to take Xena away from the teleportation magic circle. If the magic circle hits Xena, then Xander will be difficult to stop Xena who was brought by a group of enemies who deliberately target Xena. However, the number of magic circles chasing them never decreases, the more Xena destroys it the number of magic circles will increase.

“Sial! There's no other way, it looks like I have to do that.”

Xander lands down, he has other plans to exterminate the magic-circle that is chasing them.

“Xena, please hug me tightly and close your eyes. I will do something to destroy this entire magic circle.”

Xena did as Xander ordered, she tightened her arms and buried her head while closing her eyes in Xander's arms.

‘I know he can't wait to meet Xena, but I won't let him take Xena away from me.’

With all the power left in his body, Xander exerted a massive attack in order to destroy the magic circle that was slowly gathering closer towards them. From Xander's palm, out a huge purple flame and drove burning all those magic circles. A powerful explosion occurred in the middle of the forest where the two of them were, finished the explosion that his entire magic circle disappeared instantly.

“It's done, now you can open your eyes,” Xander said.

Xena opened her eyes, now that the magic circle that was chasing them had completely disappeared and the time that had stopped had also flowed back. Xander took Xena down from his carrier, his body feeling hot and sick simultaneously. He fell to the ground because he was no longer strong enough to stand.

“Xander! Are you all right? Why is your body temperature suddenly high?” Xena's voice sounded worried about Xander, he also sat down beside Xander.

“It's okay, I'm just a little tired,” said Xander while forcing myself to smile.

“You rest for a while, I will keep an eye on the surrounding conditions. Don't worry about anything and go to sleep,” said Xena told Xander to lay his head on her thigh.

“Did you just worry about me?” Xander Goda.

“Come quickly! Just go to sleep, I'll wake you up.” Xena's cheeks blushed red, she did not want to admit that she was worried about Xander's condition.

Fifteen minutes passed, Xander woke up from his sleep as he felt an extremely strong aura of presence. From the opposite direction, a man in a white mask was walking towards them.

“You're here apparently.”
