Demons Beside You

“The fog has dissipated.”

“I wonder what"s happened inside.”

“Should we go in and take a look?”

“What if… Chen lost?”

Sienna and Cheryl were both worried and scared.

After all, they had seen for themselves how terrifying Evangeline was.

Could Chen Zhao really defeat Evangeline?

While Chen Zhao was powerful too, Evangeline was more formidable.

Just then, a car shot towards them at high speed.

In an instant, the car stopped before them and Chris rushed out.

“Sienna, Cheryl, are you alright?” Chris looked at the two in worry.

“We"re fine. How did you find us?”

“Your sister brought me here,” Chris said.

Rupert also alighted from the car with Camilla.

Then, Rupert stared at the car components scattered all over the ground, as well as the now flattened car.

“What happened here?!” Camilla gasped.

It was the real world, not a movie.

No sorcerer here could shatter the earth and overturn the seas.

The devastation before them was astonis.h.i.+ng enough.

“Where"s Evangeline?” Rupert asked.

“I think she"s battling with Chen in the woods,” Sienna said.

“Is he mad?! Does he know what he"s doing?” Rupert exclaimed. “He"s literally trying to kill himself. Let"s leave now! After Evangeline kills him, she"ll certainly be back. We"ll be doomed by then!”

“No, Chen"s not going to lose! He"s very powerful,” Cheryl said.

“Really?” Rupert did not believe her.

In just that day, more than a dozen witches had been killed, which was enough to show how frightening Evangeline was.

Did they still have hope in him?

How ridiculous…

“Sienna, stop being stubborn. Let"s go before it"s too late!” Rupert urged.

Sienna shook her head and said resolutely, “Chen came here to save me. He might be in danger now. I can"t leave.”

“Teacher, please say something,” Rupert said helplessly.

Camilla hesitated for a moment. “Sienna, let"s go. It"s really impossible. If we stay, we"ll only add to Evangeline"s trophy collection, which is meaningless. If you want to avenge your friend, you should stay alive and summon more witches to attack Evangeline. Staying here will bring nothing but more deaths.”

Camilla was similarly not confident in Chen Zhao. After all, Evangeline had such an alarming battle record.

It was worse than the ghost s.h.i.+p last time. Ghost s.h.i.+ps were dangerous because they would float on the sea.

That time, more than ten witches went to fight the ghost s.h.i.+p. They lost only because they were trapped in the sea.

But Evangeline was different. She was purely a powerful individual.

Thus, Camilla was pretty sure that Chen Zhao would never come out of the forest again.

“Sienna… Where are you going? Are you mad?!” Rupert stopped Sienna.

Rupert almost went insane when she saw Sienna walk toward the forest.

Why would Sienna be so stupid despite having the same teacher as her?

“Even if Chen has died, I won"t let his body lie in the wild,” Sienna said lightly. “Cheryl, leave with Chris first.”

“No, I think that Chen can win,” Cheryl said stubbornly.

“I"m not leaving either. I"m going in,” Chris insisted with a similar tone.

She was not afraid, or she would not have come here.

More precisely, her concern toward Sienna and Cheryl suppressed her fear.

“Three mad women…” Rupert turned around and left. “Just go in and kill yourself! I"m not going in.”

However, after taking a few steps, Rupert turned around and cursed, “F**k! Why am I doing this? I should be lying in bed with my puppet now.”

The four women and a spirit entered the forest. While the fog was gone, the forest was still ghastly.

Everyone walked with great care, not even daring to make the slightest of noise.

Rupert, who had been cursing outside the forest, also kept quiet.

“There"s nothing here… Maybe they"ve gone back to sleep… I think we should turn back,” Rupert muttered.

“Shut up,” Sienna roared softly in annoyance.

Crack…

Suddenly, Chris stopped. The other three also stood still.

“Chris, what happened?”

“I… I think I stepped on something…”

The group lowered their heads. It was something long…

Then, Chris started to scream.

It was an arm!

“Shh… Quiet, quiet!”

Sienna quickly covered Chris"s mouth to prevent her from yelling again.

“Why… Why is there an arm here?” Chris"s face paled in horror and she could not calm down.

“Let"s leave. That Chinese must be dead by now.”

“Shut up.”

Ignoring Rupert"s reaction, Sienna, Chris, and Cheryl were determined to keep moving.

“Whose arm was that?” Rupert asked.

None of the three answered or was willing to answer.

“I think it belongs to a female,” Camilla said.

Sienna"s eyes brightened. “Teacher, you mean that wasn"t Chen"s arm?”

“No, a man"s arm should be thicker than that,” Camilla said.

“So Chen managed to pull Evangeline"s arm off during the battle?”

“You left too quickly today to hear about it, but when Evangeline attacked one of the witches, she turned into a horrifying form. She had dozens of arms on her body,” Rupert said.

“But she"s never used it before me.”

“Because you"re too weak for her. That Chinese must have enraged her. That"s why she transformed into that form.”

Hearing Rupert"s words, Sienna, Chris, and Cheryl felt even more worried and uneasy.

“Look… There…”

Puke…

The group saw many arms and pools of blood all over the ground.

“What an intense battle,” Camilla commented.

“That wizard"s quite powerful. Look at what he"s done to Evangeline.”

“Chen! Chen"s there!” Cheryl suddenly exclaimed in excitement.

Everyone saw Chen Zhao sitting under a tree.

They charged forward at once and Sienna tried to pull him up from the ground. “Chen, what happened? Chen, wake up…”
