Chapter 11 - Failed

Luca immediately threw that thought away when the barrier he created got a line that looked like a crack after Leonardo attacked him with his magic. If Leonardo continued to attack him like that, then it wouldn't take long for the barrier to defend itself.

Christine smiled with satisfaction when she saw Leonardo's attack seemed successful. She looked at Luca who looked troubled and Javier who was standing still in his place.

What will the two of them look like when she eats them?

How will they both taste? Moreover, that human being Katherine's husband.

"Can you finish this quickly, Leonardo?" said Christine who grew impatient as the thought crossed her mind.

Leonardo nodded in understanding and began to cast a bigger attack than the previous one.

Luca, who sensed Leonardo was going to be more serious than before, looked back to look at Javier.

"Javier!" call Luca.

"..."

Luca gritted his teeth when he saw Javier who was frozen in place.

"Pull yourself together, lowly human!" Luca snapped.

Javier was shocked when he heard Luca's harsh words, even though he knew Luca didn't like him, but so far Luca had never spoken to him like that.

Seeing Javier who seemed to have come out of his thoughts, Luca immediately said.

"I don't have time to explain all this. Quickly stand behind me and hold my shoulders. I will send you to a safe place!" said Luca in a commanding tone.

Previously Luca had not thought of this option because moving two people at once took longer than moving one person. With Christine ready to attack them at any moment, Luca didn't want to take any chances.

However, the situation now has completely changed. If he just sent Javier out of here alone. He was confident he could do it faster even though Christine and Leonardo were in front of him.

"Then what about you?" Javier asked with a worried look. From Luca's words, it seemed that the man was about to send only him.

Luca smirked when he heard Javier's worried tone.

"Are you worried about me? Hah! I didn't expect lowly human to worry about me. Don't worry, I'll catch up with you later," said Luca calmly.

Even though he wasn't really confident that he could fight Christine and Leonardo alone, at least he had carried out Lady Katherine's orders to protect Javier.

"Alright, make sure to catch up with me!" said Javier, nodding his head then standing at the same position as Luca and holding the man's shoulder.

Luca looked back ahead when he felt Javier's hand on his shoulder. He only had one chance to lower the barrier he created and send Javier to safety. It was the moment where Leonardo would strike him back.

However, in the next second Luca's face, which had looked focused and calm, turned into panic when Leonardo's attack instantly shattered the barrier he had created.

Luca hastily cast his spell to quickly send Javier to safety, but the next second Luca felt a pressure coming from his left side and pushed his body.

"Ahh," Luca let out a groan as his body was thrown against the wall. Luca tried to get closer to Javier again, but the pressure was too strong and kept holding his body.

Seeing that there was no longer a barrier, Christine quickly approached and bit Javier's neck. Javier let out a pained groan as Christine did this.

Luca could only widen his eyes and scream in anger when he saw what was happening in front of him.

He had failed to protect Javier!

"Lady Christine, we should go now," Leonardo said after a moment.

Christine, who was still sucking Javier's blood on the man's neck, immediately let go of the man and stabbed him in the stomach with her claws before finally letting the man fall to the floor.

Christine smiled with satisfaction when she saw Javier lying on the floor with an injured stomach and splattered blood. It was a trademark that Christine often used when hunting humans. She didn't want to be thought of as an ordinary vampire when someone found her victim.

"Alright, let's go, mission accomplished," said Christine as she licked the fresh blood from her lips.

"Then what about Luca?" asked Leonardo who is currently still holding Luca.

Christine, who was about to leave, immediately turned around and approached Luca.

"Little witch, your defensive abilities seem useful. Do you want to be my servant?" asked Christine while stroking Luca's cheek with her fingernail.

"In… in your dre..am..you bitch!" said Luca who had difficulty speaking because of the pressure given by Leonardo. He didn't forget to spit in Christine's face.

"Ahh…" Luca groaned when he felt a pain in his stomach.

After sucking the blood that was on her fingernails, Christine finally stepped outside.

Leonardo glanced at Luca for a while before finally going after Christine. After they exited the house, Luca who was stuck against the wall was finally able to move freely.

"Cough," Luca groaned again when he felt a pain in his stomach. Di hastily pointed his right hand at the wound and chanted a spell.

"He .. al," he said slowly. Luka's right hand suddenly emitted a white light. The wound that had been continuously bleeding slowly began to stop and regrow parts of his body.

"Ahh,"

Luca, who was sitting against the wall, immediately raised his head.

"Javier?" Luca really couldn't believe it when he heard that voice.

Javier is still alive!

With his stomach still hurting, Luca crawled slowly towards Javier. Luca could see Javier's eyes were still open and his mouth was moving, trying to say something.

"Lu..ca, thank God.. you're... fine...," Javier said slowly. Luca could barely even hear the man's voice.

"Stop talking! I will heal you!" said Luca who was grateful that Javier was still alive. His healing spells only worked on living beings, if they were dead, he couldn't do anything about it.

Luca initially thought Javier had gone with that much wound and blood, but it seemed that the man was tougher than Luca thought.

"Heal," said Luca while pointing his right hand towards Javier's belly which was full of wounds.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Javier who was still alive. He didn't know how he would meet Katherine if Javier had gone. However, the relief on Luca's face immediately disappeared when he saw something strange on Javier's body. His body doesn't regenerate.

"Heal!" Luca said again, this time concentrating and channeling his energy more. However, Luca's efforts seemed in vain.

"What happened?" thought Luca who was really confused looking at Javier's body which didn't regenerate at all.

"Javier?"

Luca who was thinking about the reason behind it immediately turned his head when he heard a voice being heard.

It's Katherine!
