Villain Ch 655. Till The Bitter End [Part 3]
Father^Alex's heart pounded in his chest as he crouched behind the shattered window of the ruined building, his breath coming in shallow gasps. The weight of responsibility hung heavy on his shoulders as he watched the scene unfolding before him, his nerves on edge.
When Allen's voice rang out, a shiver ran down Father^Alex's spine, and he bit his lip in a futile attempt to suppress his rising anxiety. He had chosen this building for its strategic advantage, a hidden vantage point from which he could support the tank players without drawing undue attention to himself.
And for a moment, it seemed his plan had succeeded—the chaos of battle had masked his presence, allowing him to remain concealed in the shadows.
But now, as Allen's gaze swept over the battlefield, searching for the source of the barrier that had thwarted his attack, Father^Alex's heart raced with trepidation. The devil emperor's keen instincts were a force to be reckoned with, and Father^Alex knew he was playing a dangerous game by revealing himself. But he had to help Elio.
But even as panic threatened to overwhelm him, Father^Alex forced himself to remain calm. He had a duty to fulfill, a role to play in the unfolding battle, and he couldn't afford to let his fear dictate his actions. With a deep breath, he steadied himself.
With a quick glance around, Father^Alex assessed his options, his mind racing as he searched for a way to evade detection.
Spotting a nearby pile of rubble, Father^Alex moved swiftly, ducking behind the broken remains of a fallen wall. He pressed himself against the rough surface, willing his breath to slow as he fought to remain silent. His heart hammered in his chest, each beat a deafening roar in his ears as he waited with bated breath.
He knew he had only been exposed for a brief moment, and if he remained perfectly still and silent, there was a chance Allen wouldn't realize he was there. It was a gamble, a desperate attempt to escape detection, but Father^Alex clung to the hope that he could evade the devil emperor's notice. He knew that his fate hung in the balance, that one wrong move could spell disaster.
But for now, all he could do was wait and pray that Allen's attention would be drawn elsewhere.
With a flick of his wings, Allen propelled himself towards the structure, his sword gleaming ominously. He couldn't deny his surprise at Father^Alex's boldness. The priest was known for his quiet demeanor, often content to remain in the company of Red_King and Mastercraft, rather than taking on a leadership role.
But it seemed that circumstances had forced Father^Alex to step up, to lead the group of healers in Sophia's obsession with raising her own reputation. Allen had to admit, he had underestimated Father^Alex.
With a swift motion, Allen landed before the building, his sword poised for the hunt. But, a sudden voice cut through the tension. "Are you looking for me?" The voice was calm yet carried a hint of challenge, stopping Allen in his tracks.
Allen's eyes narrowed as he tried to locate the source of the voice. It was unmistakably female, and it seemed to come from somewhere nearby. He glanced around, his gaze searching for the speaker amidst the chaos of battle.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
There she was, Sophia, perched on the rooftop like she owned the place, her robes shimmering. Allen couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sight. "Talk about desperate," he muttered under his breath, his lips twisting into a smirk.
He knew exactly what Sophia was up to—trying to bait him into a confrontation, seeking the attention she so desperately craved. But Allen refused to take the bait. He had bigger fish to fry, and he wasn't about to waste his time on someone as insignificant as Sophia.
With a snort of disdain, Allen tore his gaze away from the rooftop. A mischievous thought crossed his mind. Maybe he could give Sophia the attention she wanted, but not in the way she expected. Experience tales at empire
"Hunter," Allen called out, his voice low and commanding. "Take care of our little rooftop pest for me, will you?"
The Hunter Military Chief Ghost didn't hesitate to obey Allen's order. With a graceful leap, the boss monster bounded across the battlefield, his movements agile and precise. In a matter of moments, he reached the building across where Sophia stood, his bow drawn and ready to strike.
Sophia's heart raced, her breath catching in her throat. Her eyes were on the devil emperor. She knew the risks of standing out in the open like this, but desperation had driven her to seek the devil emperor's attention at any cost.
She braced herself for the inevitable impact. It was a desperate move, to be sure, but in the midst of war, where players fought tooth and nail for survival, she couldn't afford to hold back. This was a perfect stage!
Despite the fear coursing through her veins, Sophia couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of catching the devil emperor's eye. If she could just earn a few words of acknowledgment from him, it would be a victory in itself—a chance to boost her reputation and cement her place among the players.
With a quick prayer for luck, Sophia steeled herself for the blow, her mind racing with anticipation. Maybe, just maybe, this would be her moment to shine.
But her hope died as fast as the candle on a windy day.
The arrow hurtled towards her, Sophia's instincts kicked in, and she summoned her Barrier skill just in time to deflect the incoming projectiles. She cast a quick glance at her attacker, none other than the Hunter Military Chief Ghost. The irony wasn't lost on her—despite her efforts to catch the devil emperor's attention, it seemed she had only managed to draw the ire of his minions.
Sophia couldn't help but feel a twinge of frustration at being ignored yet again by the devil emperor. It was like he didn't even see her, let alone acknowledge her presence. Twice now she had tried to make herself stand out, and twice she had been met with silence.
