Chapter 9 - The Beast

"I will give you a lot of money, so please let me go!" Susan begs, but that man ignores her.

His big hands grabbed Susan's chest. With great satisfaction, that man started to fondle her breast, as he kneaded it in various shapes. The man then tweaked her mammary papillas in the opposite direction, and that man chuckled spitefully. His tender tone was self-contradictory.

"Hnnh! S-stop!"

His hands started to skirt and crawl up against his firm thighs. His fingers started digging thoroughly between her legs, pulling her tights down to her thighs. The inside of her underwear was already wet from the stimulation the man had given earlier.

" Ngh...I-I told you to stop!" Susan's tears overflowing from her eyes 

As Susan attempted to fend off the man's attack, she brought her legs together, exerting all her strength to kick the man. However, his grip remained strong, preventing her from breaking free, and forcibly silenced her protests by closing his lips over hers.

Susan's desperation grew as she bit the man's lip, to break free from his grip. Despite her fierce resistance, the man persisted, relentlessly subjecting her to movements she did not want.

Susan gave him a dark glare. Even when Susan tries to fight, that man continues giving stimulation...again and again.... Her defiant glare softened into one of resignation as her protests faded into helpless moans, lost amidst the overwhelming force of the man's persistence.

"Hnngh, let—"

"Let you what?" the man smirked

" Let go of me…"

The man rejected Susan's plea. She felt his hot breath on her wet underwear, suddenly even damper under his cold touch. Susan quivered. Only then did the hot breath directly touch her wet skin. His red tongue dug into the crack.

"Ah…!"

The obscene squelching sound bothered her ears. That man's soft tongue pocked the inside of her wet hole, gently sucking her burning-up core.

The obscene squelching sound bothered my ears. I never imagine someone doing something like this before in front of me. Even Liam never does that with Susan. That's what I know…

After that, the man started to zip off his pants. His sword already dripping with a liquid, slowly rubbed Susan's bare thighs as if that thing was about to enter her. That hot thing now directly touches her wet skin. 

*Bam!*

At the same time, I quietly sneaked in and approached the man. Hitting him on the nape with a rusty metal pipe that was 12.70 mm thick. With a single blow, the man fainted in an embarrassing condition. 

*Phew!*

"It's a good thing this room is filled with trash!" I sigh heavily

*Sob*

" I thought y-you wouldn't be coming "

" We need to get out of here! "

I tried to get rid of his heavy body from Susan. Then quickly untied the ropes that bound Susan, her hand was shaking. She burst into tears full of joy. She didn't expect to experience something like this before her wedding. But when I tried to untie the rope, the unconscious man's body turned into a large, black, hairy creature.

" Holy shit! Fuck! "

Although we tried to shout for help, we couldn't make a sound. 

That creature quickly managed to grab hold of me!

I couldn't move within its grip. Our eyes met, and I could smell the foul odor emanating from the creature's body. The creature attempted to strangle and lift me into the air, leaving me gasping for air. Susan was just petrified silent in shock. In desperation, I attempted to do a spontaneous thing that popped out of my mind. 

'That spell!'

I tried to remember bits and pieces of spells I had once dreamt up and hoped they would work. I struggled to recall what I had spoken in the dream, but I couldn't complete the incantation before my ears rang, my nose bled, and I struggled to breathe. Instead of being serious, I attempted to mix all the words, hoping one would work, but I don't recall the correct phrasing.

"The fields turn to night, the seas turn red, the branches turn to iron, the full moonlight calls lost and bloodthirsty souls back where they belong, the shining eyes lead you to the light of heaven!" 

I repeated it as many times as possible, but instead of releasing its grip, the creature tightened its grip. That creature laughed. His laughter was so loud that it almost ruptured my eardrums. I could even feel that the creature was laughing at my stupid choice.

 'ARGH! This is useless! Why would I try to do something stupid at such a crucial time!'

After chanting the spell with a state of high adrenaline. Not long after that, I heard heavy footsteps as if a beast were running charging at us. In a quick flash of light, a blade cut off the creature's arm and freed me. 

"ROAAAR!"

I observed the glint of the creature's sharp claws in the moonlight. Additionally, the claws were coated in a dark liquid, which was also present on the creature that had been constricting me.

Roar resonated as they engaged in combat. Eventually, the red-eyed creature was caught off guard and weakened. Seizing the opportunity, The beast cut off its head with its sharp claws, tore it apart until black blood spurted everywhere and finally the head was severed from its neck. then the creature disappeared like smoke carried by the wind. Then, the beast creature swiftly picked me up and ran toward the heart of the forest. 

"Wait! My cousin is still there!"

" GROAAARR! "

The beast ignored me. I continued to rage angrily and asked him to save Susan as well. 

" What are you doing, stupid? We have to save Susan!"

" Why are you just carrying me?!" I'm complaining

" GRRR! "

"I have to save that brat! I'm responsible for her life, you know!"

I wanted to jump off his back, but I was afraid of falling. Because right now he was carrying me between the high trees, no kidding the trees reached 10 meters.

"Ack!"

The grip on my hands weakened, leaving me shocked to death as I almost slipped off the Lycan's body.

' Don't be stupid Clara! you'll die if you lose the grip! '

From the way he carried himself, he seemed familiar and evoked memories of his body shape, his touch, and his gentleness.

I recognized him as the Lycan I encountered earlier this afternoon.

"Wait, You're that jerk. Aren't you?" I said disappointed.

Then he growled in irritation, responding to my disappointment.

I know it's not the right situation to be upset with him, especially after he saved me... twice.

But, I don't expect much from a man who tries to seduce you at the same time as showing his naked body. Even his behavior proves what a jerk he is!

As we glided through the forest, I clung to the furry body in front of me. Branch after branch flew past us as the Lycan hurtled through the forest, swift as a bullet from a gun. My grip grew tighter as he moved faster.

"Can you stop and put me down?!"

We leaped from tree to tree in the cold and dark night. Fear took hold of me and I asked how much further we had to go, but the Lycan remained silent, his attention was focused on the forward.

I hoped this Lycan would soon touch the ground, alleviating my constant fear of falling as it leaped from tree to tree. The sensation of insects grazing my face and entering my nostrils only increased my discomfort. The velocity of our travel intensified each insect's sting.

*Ptooey!*

"Ugh, gross!" I spat after swallowing some insects that accidentally got into my mouth.

Another valuable lesson as you are carried by a lycan through the forest. Don't talk too much! Or you'll end up with a fresh snack of bugs.

Although I wanted to voice my complaints again regarding Lycan's rude way of carrying people, I chose to keep quiet. It seemed futile to protest when he carried me on his back, seemingly unaware of my presence. His movements were rough and very fast through the branches of the trees.

As we continued our journey, I found myself reflecting on the circumstances that led to this moment, thinking also of Susan's fate there. Damn! Wouldn't I be a wanted man if she were to die? 

Exhaustion weighed heavily on my limbs, draining what little energy I had left. Plus, the warmth emanating from the Lycan's body began to radiate into my body, I could feel a momentary comfort amidst the anxiety I was experiencing.

I was really sleepy, I was resigned to the reality of our journey or Susan's situation. Whether by fate or circumstance, I found myself at the mercy of this creature's unexpected but also questionable kindness. In the end, I allowed myself to drift into the temporary warmth channeled from its broad, shaggy back.
